I was replying to a comment that was undecided and outlined two choices. I described the reasoning of my preferences and even provided a caveat that my reasoning applied to a subset of the audience.

My theory is that anyone wishing to elucidate a complex technical concept is better served with contextual details. I think one method is superior to another. Anybody, anything, obligated, and any related information are hyperbolic terms I

Not by definition. That is one general perception. I'm sure they both have a place and we all have our own preferences.

One could give citations regarding calculus it's pretty interesting. Since it was done twice by both Newton and Liebniz. There must have been cultural developments in the 1660's that demanded calculus be invented.

Better too assume they are just not aware. Technology is multi-layered cake of development. I have no doubt the only reason I know a lot of details is that I lived their development. When standing on the shoulders of giants it's hard t

I like to see ideas presented as the evolved. Each solution is developed as a perceived reaction to the shortcomings of the previous. This becomes a contrast and comparison as to why one idea is appropriate for a particular context.

Disconnecting idea development from it's historic development is a disservice to the audience that may want to dig deeper.

I don't understand. Marine Traffic is almost identical but has the advantage for displaying the location of the boat.

I think the source is AIS which requires paperwork and an FCC issued license to register a name. My boat is there.

I feel I like I have seen that name. I know I have seen puns on C but can't remember the specifics. May have been C-Shell.

Sailing can be such a transformative experience I'm not surprised many people write books of the experience. My guess is most people's experience is that interesting to others.

That is a good code. I personally have all the facts I need to form an opinion. I don't even think we disagree on the facts. I think we just disagree on the obligations of a captain at sea.

All the Launchpad had to do was respond on the radio to the skiff, the cruise ship, or the USCG. They weren’t obligated to do more. A pan pan is a non emergency in a deteriorating situation. I don't know the area or the details at what

In the 80-90's fried food was vilified and they wanted to start selling things beyond chicken. The old name carried prejudices the corporate overlords wanted to eliminate.

I can tell you think they did not do anything wrong. My guess is you have no training in the rules of the sea. There is a reason why the cruise ship captain made a stink. There is code of conduct we try to live up and the Launchpad didn’t l

On the sea there are 2 levels of distress. Things are going wrong and may end up in a mayday call (pan pan) and things have gone wrong human life is in imminent danger. I have no doubt that a boat without propulsion is a pan pan call. When

I think this is just the flaw in the sales pitch. They want it to be inevitable so they describe as doing everything. That way it will appear more useful to more people. If they presented a realistic view of what is going it wouldn't b

Where did you find these facts you read. In the USA a good Captain monitors VHF channel 16. This channel is used for establishing communication. To not monitor this channel is a dereliction of duty. I really doubt the USCG labeled a disable
