Fuck YouTube and the copyright trolls infesting the service. I have repeatedly fought copyright claims on material that was obviously public domain. Being tired of reminding claimants and YouTube that NASA air to ground comms and president

It is easy to task authorities with intercept and decryption duties; actually doing it successfully is another matter entirely. Mathematics works both ways, friends.

The Chinese can be extremely picky about paperwork when it suits them. It suits them when an ass must be covered or when an adversary must be punished. You can look at food safety, construction, land seizure, or fake products for examples

Nobody played Canada. There is an extradition treaty which specifies when one country may arrest suspects in the other country. Rule of law. Neither popular opinion nor pressure from government executives supersede the law. If the law is

It is important to always be aware that arrests and disappearances in China are about state power, never ever about justice. Just ask a crime victim. Then ask a victim of state persecution. Even the killing of a street dog in Hangzhou is

Consequences? Bring them. Meng can witness the consequences from her jail cell. Her multiple passports and Communist Party advocates cannot get her out of this problem. Welcome to the realm of evidence-based justice.

Such questions may seem off topic, but usually require application of concepts taught in the course. Look deeper for an implicitly given challenge which can be solved with course material. Despite my comments above, there are a few tools p

It is a terrible thing for a government to do, but not surprising for Trump. The message is: values don't matter as much as interests, and anyone can be bought or sold if the price is right. Just burn the Constitution's preamble

Mishra argues from a perspective aligned with the Marxist-socialists we have all heard before. WTF, it is too simplistic to assert that the West (yes, I capitalised it) opted to rely on a racial caste system and colonies to support liberal

The hobbyists find many different kinds of satisfaction in amateur radio. In my early days, my knack was building antennas and chasing dx down on HF. Later, I was into VHF: more antennas, preamps, hacking FM limiter - detector circuits, c

Who wants to wager that the pilots did an aviation version of the five stages of grief, with some help from passenger / flight attendant reports? FO: Tower said we hit something, may have damage. Capt: Just close, we'll be okay.

Luckily for this flight, that they didn't damage the pressure vessel and then blow it out at high altitude. Better to stay low, not pressurize, and land "at the nearest suitable airport."

It wouldn't be the first time a crew errs in calculating their takeoff performance and uses too low a thrust or flap setting. Everyone on that plane is lucky to be alive, as others have died after similar takeoffs.

We love bees because they go out and pollinate flowers, and work hard. Their motto is, "Don't fuck with people." Wasps, on the other hand, are hateful, badass, sting you 50 times insects that don't care much for flowers

The report identifies good preventive measures. Autotuning the ILS would be handy, as would an aural alert for lateral deviation, perhaps announcing, "Localizer, Localizer." The crew may have caught the closure of 28L and planned

Whaaat? Invented? More like creativity following acts like the Velvet Underground or Plastic Ono Band. Roxy Music music is actually pretty slick, but I point out that there have been others before them in the business of art pop / av
