No, but I have a very good friend in Vegas who says it's similar there.

That's how it works where I live. You show your driver's license, you get the local discount.

I am particularly sensitive to this issue as I live in a beautiful tropical metropolis which everyone on the planet knows about and is the stereotypical vacation spot and which sees more and more tourists every year. I'm 100% behind OP

I've been working in this space for the last few months. While you are correct, you can buy and easily modify a cheap downconverter to receive frequencies quite a lot higher than the plain old rtl-sdr by itself. [0] [0] https:/&#

How does one control the chain reaction of the fusion process? I understand fission reactors using control rods to absorb some of the neutrons to prevent those neutrons from hitting other fissile particles, but this seems like a harder prob

Actually Signal (and 95% of the Android app ecosystem) works almost perfectly with microg in place of Google Play Services. Using microg to use Signal does require that you allow Signal to connect to Google's "cloud messaging&qu

That's only because nobody's gone after an ISP for the same kinds of things that they go after Google for, with respect to the stupid Section 230 changes. When the outrage mob discovers it can bully an ISP into shutting off politi

Well, this is certainly fascinating. Apparently this whole time we've all been the cool kids and the cliques of teenage girls are actually the uncool outsiders!

I was in the infantry for twelve years. You do not use a bayonet (a weapon) for tasks for which you would otherwise use a knife (a tool).

Ah, the long tail tautology. Everything is easy in the trivial case.

Except you don't use a bayonet for any task besides killing for which you would otherwise use a regular knife.

I mean, at the time of my posting this, literally every other top-level comment but two are kind of heckling the idea. I agree that a (working) project would be very interesting to the HN crowd. But it definitely also is an idea that many

That's the joke [0]. But otherwise this is what I meant by "shed your expectations". Even if it were possible to prove something was not possible, how would you build it? There might be some free money in there somewhere. [

Interesting! I hadn't seen this work before. Honestly this seems exactly like the kind of service that would get heckled on HN in the classic Dropbox-Show-HN style. So much so that a couple of my friends and I tried to build something

It is painful where I live on the typical UHF/VHF bands. And even worse if anybody doesn't lie and say they're using a Kenwood/Yaesu/ICOM and instead makes the enormous mistake of mentioning they're working t

You're not a citizenship lawyer, I'm assuming, and you're just grabbing these links from (bad) cursory google searching, because this must be some kind of joke? Are you actually reading the links you are posting? I think you

Actually, swearing fealty to another nation's military by swearing in, in fact, counts as intending to relinquish your US nationality. I have had this discussion with people working in multiple different American consulates, because as

No. This is bullshit. I am telling you, from personal experience, that there are claims in this article that are completely bullshit, and stand out as being completely bullshit. Whoever this "journalist" is writing about has sold

The single most awful thing about flying with Hawaiian Airlines is that they sold out years ago to advertisers. The flight attendants read commercials to the passengers during the safety brief. And lately, there have been some credit card c

I put the down payment of about eight grand on my last car with Bitcoin I sold in January of 2012. So you can do the math. :)

This whole meme truly underestimates the average person's Stockholm Syndrome for fascist rule. Microsoft's userbase is like some kind of microcosm of learned helplessness. I've never seen so many otherwise intelligent people

I really have to second the praise of Hetzner overall here. I have run a couple of their dedicated machines for several years and have nothing but good things to say about them and their service.

Hey, so... Orthodox priests bless literally everything. It's so common for them to bless things like rifles, tanks, parachutes, liquor, et cetera, that it's kind of an in-joke in Orthodox cultures and regions. But you go look onli

People universally believe they are better than their historical counterparts, that they will succeed where history has failed, that this time it will be different . When really all they're doing is carving another notch on fascism&#x

Stuff like this is a huge indicator that whatever everyone's intent going into censorship, it will invariably end with powerful, entrenched stakeholders using the censorship tools to dig in and start purging outsiders and members of op
