Very true, same manufacturer could also have a bad batch for these reasons even.

Parent comment states active ingredients are the same, but the "non-active" ingredients can be different. So there is the possibility that something is different in the generic that could cause a reaction. I've had to use tr

Yes, ITAR also relates to plans, schematics, software, data, all sorts of things. If anything, the ITAR language itself is very vague. But usually the science type or payload data is one thing, and then the lower level hardware telemetry i

Yeah I just didn't see any box to put in a frequency on that page though, although you can pick any NORAD ID. Maybe this is part of the "contact us" procedure. I'm also guessing that the USSPACECOM will tell Amazon to

Some might be encrypted, but I don't think they are all encrypted: https://www.rtl-sdr.com/rtl-sdr-tutorial-receiving-noaa-weat... Usually the export laws and restrictions (ITAR) refer to the technology used to launch

I guess the idea is that if the connection weren't encrypted you could listen to anything out there (like satellites used for transmitting weather information to ships at sea).

Looks very interesting. Looks like they use the NORAD ID to get frequency information for the various channels? I wonder what frequencies/bands they will support (since this gets down to the RF hardware on the groundstations)?

I'm honestly not that sure that checklists are useful for writing software. It's a creative process where you are making the rules, not enforcing them. It's more like designing the plane, rather than flying it. Now understa

What I look for is ability, passion, communication, and the ability to lead or at least be self-sufficient (or for a junior person, someone learning how to do that). It's hard to say why you've been rejected. It sounds like you h

I'm with you, it feels like with bitcoin, possession is 10/10ths of the law.

It's just yet another way desperate uninformed recruiters will find me and unsuccessfully attempt to recruit me. Sadly, none of them send me an Oculus like they did for Gilfoyle.

This is great advice. They say the way to become friends is to slowly share more details about yourself, and learn them about someone else, and be interested in both. The only thing I should add is try and REMEMBER what they told you. If

While there are some things that come up here maybe a few hours or days before the mainstream press gets to it (usually posted from a smaller press outlet), I've never seen an HN thread quoted or referenced here in the mainstream media

I honestly don't think this happens, at least at the level of a place like HN. It's just too small. Instead I believe they spend money trying to deal with TechCrunch and going to the media outlets directly, to control the story,

It's true they have a lot of brands, but a lot of them are drinks (for example, Monster energy drinks too are on that list). Whereas I think the combination of salty snack food + drinks is a winning combination.

Love Squaresoft. Also love Enix though, they did some great games (E.V.O., Robotrek, Actraiser, DragonQuest, Bust a Groove). But I agree, after the merger, they both seemed a little less interesting and unique. I always loved how quirky
