I feel you on this. It's weird having to balance things between passion and necessity. Sometimes, I feel completely disconnected from what I work on as a career; I then contemplate what I'd like to do, and I'm either up aga

People are just so used to doing stuff like this. The upside is that the companies who do these transactions have a lot of exposure, and thus incentive to not mess up. People are probably just numb to a lot of these sorts of things, eithe

The FCC is an unelected, mostly unaccountable entity. I think George Carlin had some things to say about them. That they have any control over transmission of anything outside of a technical, practical scope is a travesty, imo. Beyond the
