URL shorteners are generally frowned upon. The book is not notable - no one has written anything about it. And outside of "Show HN", HN is not a marketing platform. At the very least take the time to write a thinly veiled native

Hey mods! The "decenturl.com" domain forwards to amazon, where "davihigg" is getting a referral. I would suggest a replacement link, but there are only 12 google hits ("Behind the Ivy Curtain" Upadhyay) for it

I recall at least one short story with that. (Eugene by Greg Egan) The main character previously worked in Social Security, who had to lay off everyone due to no one giving them money. Anyway, you can directly donate to NASA. They just a

Interesting! UQM has the "PowerPhase® Select 50" which is a 30kW motor. I would say this counts as the "very lightweight motor technology" I speculated they were using because you can't get any datasheets or infor

Mass estimate: A 40hp motor is around 200kg. 40 hp is 30kW. Assume 100% efficient gearing and motor. Stall speed is around 80 km/hr. For 20km of powered flight, that means 0.25 hours runtime. For high performance li-ion (250 Wh&#x2

I was going to suggest that Kona would be a better fit, but you would probably know which is best. Thanks also for adding a linux binary today, looking forward to playing with it. Can't say I'm as excited about the 1 month timer

I packaged Racket 6.2 yesterday, I'll wave some numbers. * Python install: 89MB * Racket install: 417MB But 190MB of Racket is documentation, and a non-trivial amount goes to the DrRacket IDE.

I see they are still using a diplexer instead of a second rtl-sdr. We are in a magical age where multiple SDRs cost less than the plumbing to make a single SDR do double duty.

More interesting are the differences caused by the medium of Morse Code. The characters are variable length and the dashes are 3x as long as the dots. So dash-heavy letters* are more likely to be dropped. Also why you rarely see numbers:

Is a 300MB CSV really considered "big data" now? I routinely generate larger CSVs using a $10 sensor (rtl-sdr with rtl_power) and process them on a $70 ARM device (Odroid U3).

Basics was launched to compete with the likes of Monoprice. And due to the pricing structure of FBA, it doesn't make much sense for 3rd parties to sell items through Amazon for under $10. The majority of Basics items are inexpensive

Unrelated, but have you looked at the high end (+$100) AmazonBasic items? Monitor swing arms, paper shredders, a fire pit, and a gas-powered patio heater. Tripods get an honorable mention at $80. I'm not sure who these are being sold

No forward error correction either. It can't be considered "final" without some form of bitrot protection. And no, storing it on a ZFS or BTRFS volume with error recovery enabled does not count. (They don't use FEC, th
