   If you can prove you've suffered damages due to this (which maybe you can, if it affected your employment), you could sue John Doe, which would get you subpoena power against OKCupid. You probably wouldn't be able to collect from

   Refreshing my memory on the '4046, I came across this thread, which may be of interest to others curious about this part: https://eevblog.com/forum/projects/basic-74hc4046-pll-questi... W2AEW's videos (o

   I've always heard this technique referred to as a "Tayloe converter" (or "Tayloe mixer"), and it is commonly seen in SDR radios. I believe this is the original article from the 90's which popularized the idea:

   This is the first (of ~10) dedicated launches into polar orbits, and it will take several months for the satellites to reach their operational altitude, so "complete coverage" is nowhere near achieved. See: https://en.

   Would a Raspberry Pi with PoE hat plus USB Z-wave stick (plus USB wifi radio, if you're looking for it to also be a "AP" and want better than out of the box with hostapd) work for you? Z-wave's relay design makes hub pla

   Interesting, thanks for the answer. For others (like me) that haven't heard of Masterworks: Masterworks creates a Delaware LLC issuer (taxed as a partnership) and files an offering of ordinary shares with the United States SEC under R

   I'm curious the legal structure of what you're selling here. The terms and conditions on your website[0] seem generic, and don't describe the offering. You're promoting something you call "shares"[1], which pr

    I got really frustrated the first time I spent an extended period of time in Germany, and was trying to learn German. Every time I tried to practice the language, native speakers would immediately switch to English. I assumed this was beca

    Or maybe they find Emacs hacks more interesting to blog about than the CRUD they write at $day_job. Or maybe their NDA means they can blog about their tools and not what they're using those tools for. I don't think it follows tha

    Part of the irony here is the FAA enforces strict deadlines upon those it regulates, but seems to ignore deadlines set for itself or by Congress. My medical certificate is due for renewal in August. I have no ability to tell the FAA, &quot

    Yup! According to dang, the reason they don't ban TV news sites entirely (CNN, BBC, Fox News, etc.) is because they do occasionally surface an on-topic story. Personally, I flagged this, because I don't see any evidence of "

    Stories about politics and the war in Ukraine are off-topic[0], so being sad that off-topic conversations are being "stifled" by flags is like complaining that your book club refuses to discuss wrestling, or your gym not allowing

    I want a related-comments tool, so that when anyone posts a comment on a story about Tesla Autopilot or nuclear energy, they can see links to the 10,000 unoriginal comments mirroring what they wrote (again).

    Issues with Newegg returns have only been an issue since... well, forever. Especially the bit about stonewalling customers until the issue appears in a public forum, and then suddenly backpedaling. I've avoided them since 2012 or so:

    Have they removed the 200 muted word limit? Or at least implemented word stemming? This feature, besides being hidden, always felt unreasonably crippled to me. And they banned third party clients that might be able to implement it better.
