Any trunked radio system hops between frequencies enough that this wouldn't work. Individual radios get "paged" on a control channel and told where to receive. Eg, "Radios tuned to the police talk group, go to frequency

Matt Blaze has a classic talk about crypto failures by LE using radios. In short, the feds still screw it up and accidentally operate in the clear. I've personally heard a Stingray being used for an arrest being broadcast on an open, a

Consumers eat differently at home. Think fancy cheeses. Some dairy cows make excellent milk for cheese. The input into this market is raw milk. When that market disappears due to restaurants closing, it's a serious problem.

Cloudflare's BGP activism isn't exactly a new thing, so critiquing their exact timing here seems misplaced perhaps?

It's a very weird angle, indeed. My home ISP hasn't deployed IPv6 yet. Though, if they cited COVID-19 as a contributing factor when asked about it, I wouldn't be stunned...

In some parts of the US like NW Washington, toilet paper is in short enough supply that some households need to put non-trivial time and effort to get some. It's hyper local. I got lucky and hit Costco in December. Feel like I still se

Or the opposite, that available capacity is a limited resource, which "necessitates" data caps to maintain performance during peak periods. It's still illogical, just not as illogical as claiming a communication medium offers

A junior developer could've developed an app to count votes from 1000 precinct reporters. That is exactly the kind of attitude that leads to a disastrous rollout like this. You're applying a brand-new app and process to help wi

I'm not entirely surprised - describing these groves as being "hundreds of trees" seems somewhat generous. Offord et al describe the sites somewhat differently: "... is restricted to two populations (Site 1: approx. 23

It's illegal to construct firebreaks ... in certain places? At certainly times? That sounds quite incredible to me - a quick search turned up plenty of WA firebreak building guides, as well as the Brush Fires act of 1954 which seems to

In climbing, the offset overhand bend (EDK) is also very commonly used. It's arguably simpler than the double fishermans. I'm a huge fan of the zeppelin bend - it's a bit exotic, but is catching on in some climbing circles. C

How would you classify a CE mark which is obviously self-applied without regulatory approval? eg, PPE gear where the CE mark carries the EN # vs the number of the notified body. Very obviously non-conforming, I would go so far as to call it

Interesting article. The dosage is controlled by J/cm^2 in most of the studies I'm looking at - so time and distance from the emitter are the other factors. eg, This study used an array of 500mW LEDs and a 10 minute exposure to ac
