I came away with the opposite interpretation. The author never blames the readers for doing this. The author even fully understands that the system is designed to help readers to be "helpful" in this regard, but the system is clea

Maby if they could actually start acting on intelligence when dozens of people report that a kid is likely to conduct a school shooting I'd believe them. Even then, we all know this type of rhetoric from law enforcement is just posturi

In all of this, folks should just go back to this interview with one of the pilots (Commander Fravor) who was one of the 4 people who actually saw the tic-tac thing first hand. Even he calls BS on some of the claims others involved (radar a

I'm all for calling out BS where it exists, but lets get our facts straight. The program (AATIP) existed beyond 2012, they just changed how it was funded. Luis Elizondo, former lead investigator for AATIP, explains this here: https:&#

So, basically all the stuff that's impossible to get 15 years after it happened. Yes it would be great to scientifically eliminate all other possibilities. But it's probably not going to happen. The paper is an attempt to treat th

As with many community ran projects based around a commercial vendor, fear of being DMCA'd out of existence is real. We can safely assume they want to be left alone by Canon and not posting the encryption key not only shows they mean n

There's a lot more to this than simply taking spectrum away from hams. This potentially affects other ham bands too. The allotted spectrum for ham use was designed intelligently to reduce (though not completely eliminate) the chances o

I'm fairly certain his robot was designed and built before Arduino's existed. The barrier to building robots and electronics has come way down in the past 15 years.

If nothing else, consider this. If all it takes to cause a 3-5MT explosion is to get uranium hot and poor water on it, why would anyone go to the effort of developing a more complex weapon? The entire Manhattan project could have been easil

Nothing against Moxie, but this stated fact is clearly nonsense. It certainly would have been terrible for a large volume of water to reach the burning core, but you're not going to get a 5MT blast from a reactor accident. It takes a

I listen to folks DXing on CB across the continental US all the time. Not long ago I heard someone in Puerto Rico make a contact in Canada. On a band supposedly limited to 4 Watts. The FCC doesn't care unless there's a complaint,

You're not wrong, but you are also lumping "old hams" into the same category as "hams that use computers". While the old dudes can certainly fox-hunt like no bodies business, they are the same dudes that get irate a

Jeezus Cripes, way over reaction. I have Fiestaware plates that put out over 30uSv/h / 3mR/h / 9200cpm. Unrefined uranium ore puts out waaaay less that. As long as you're not sleeping with the junk under your bed or

In North America ADS-B is pretty rare except on the coasts where international flights pass through more frequently. If you are not on the coast and look at the logs of your flightradar24 receiver you will see that 99% of the traffic are ML

All depends on what you are buying. A lot things I could care less about, usually knock-offs are decent enough quality. But when you go out of your way to buy the genuine product and you get a fake that's a problem. I buy photography c

Believe it or not, some Amish communities do use cell phones. We look at their selective use of technology as a general ban on all new technology when it's more nuanced than that. But certainly some groups do reject cell phones some so

Sure, that works for a one-off. Not exactly a good solution though when you are selling a new product. "So, plug the cable into the rough hack-sawed connector on the back of our jankey product".

Austin had water jet too. Actually kind of a shame, a sinker EDM should do most of the same and would be a lot cheaper. But people understand what a water jet is.

Obviously you have no interest in hackerspaces then which is fine. The community is half of the equation though, if there's zero value to you from the community then a more sterile TechShop-esq place is obviously your place to be. I wa

Heh, in Asia sit-down toilets are rare in the country-side. They use a squat-style toilet with foot pads, the water trap is just below ground and you "flush" by pouring a small bucket of water in the hole when finished. But usuall

New ideas are always good, nothing advances without trying new stuff. I'm sad I missed out that they had gone into production, I thought I was on the list for that. Or maby I just missed it. The main issue with this system is the stain
