It's mostly old guys erecting large antennas to connect their boat anchor tube radios to, from what I read online. It's a great hobby if you are in it for the actual tech itself. Check out e.g. https://pysdr.org/

Hmm, but we still got paid a visit in 1968 and had Russian nukes ready in case capitalists crossed the border.

It's not really about communism, though. You'd have to be blind not to see parallels under capitalism. Employees cannot profit from inventions and improvements, so they don't engage in them. Improving efficiency means budget

There is also one more level of horror people often forget. Sometimes the history unwinds itself. Some outages will require restoration from a backup and some amount of transactions may be lost. It does not happen often, but it may happen.

Suppose we all live under socialism and capitalist rules no longer apply. Only physics. You run a vacation home exchange/booking site, which you run in 3 instances in America, Europe and Asia because base you found that people are happ

That's nonsense. Most of the software in question was written to support the administration. There is no existing closed source nor open source software as such, only software ordered by public sector and delivered by private sector un

The stocks would actually crash if converted to money. The net effect wouldn't be more cash to spend, but a stake in the economy. You would probably have to invent some more democratic formats of corporate governance.

Just convert using most up-to-date source time zone into UTC, then proceed as usual. The point is that the event is not actually fixed in time, but affected by local law that can arbitrarily move times of all scheduled meetings by an hour o

Right now, there is nothing to build around, though. When you have an engine that consistently provides torque better and cheaper than humans or animals, you can literally build a factory around it. ML tools are currently something you occa

There was a period of time when to get the highest ROI you had a factory built, you hired a bunch of people and had them make and sell washing machines, fridges and vacuums. Since everybody now has a washing machine, fridge and vacuum, the

That's a whole lot of hand waving. Also, field effect transistors deal with potential, not current. Current consumption stems mostly from charging and discharging parasitic capacitance. Also, computers do not really process individual
