   Sure, SDR is the easy answer if you’re within LOS. But let’s assume I wanted to listen to another geosynchronous satellite that I wasn’t in LOS of.

    Except that ADA has undue hardship clause ( 29 C.F.R. § 1630.2(p) ) that (among other things) requires you to take into account the “net cost of the accommodation”. Operating at reduced profit is one thing, but operating a loss I think woul

    If the goal was to pick one person to run for office, then Bruce would be a good candidate. But that’s not the goal. He’s advocating for lots of candidates, many of whom will likely need to start running at local levels first. If Bruce we

    “Every civilian airliner is equipped with a special device — the so-caller ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) transponder” Not true actually: in the US, ADS-B isn’t required until January 1, 2020 [1]. Also, FR24 uses radar d

    This is probably an unpopular opinion: I do think the US should do more about a US person being killed versus a person with no legal/jurisdictional ties to the US. This isn’t to say that the US should care less about a non-US perso
