If you report a minor robbery to the police in any large American city and you aren't a public figure, there is functionally a 0% chance of them following up on it much less solving it. The only benefit for reporting is if you plan to

This is an example of where coming to the comments first saves you a click - this is just price controls packaged differently. Price controls not working is about as consensus a view as you can get in economics. In their example, you don&#x

This product is great - it seems to be intended for internal installation into desktop towers, but it is infinitely configurable and can operate as a portable power pack with user-selectable (via dip switch) output voltage. 3-D printed encl

One thing the government could do right away that would serve to spread out good jobs is move executive branch departments to other states. For example, let's move the USDA to somewhere in the Midwest. Government employees would move t

~10 watts into a dipole is plenty for both CW and modern data modes. SSB is harder but still doable. ARRL is right it probably limits its use for emergency interop, and I do support their proposal to keep the 100w limit. However, if the FCC

Yes unfortunately "model craft" is not defined anywhere in Part 97 that I can find. I can't say I understand the rest of the first paragraph - Part 97 doesn't actually ban encryption, just "codes or ciphers intended

Doesn't this fall under the "telecommand of model craft" exception? https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/47/97.215 It seems to me encrypted ssh is totally within the rules in this case.

What countries allow general encryption on the ham bands (e.g. not limited exceptions for particular cases) "The hobby is dying" has been a trope longer than nearly everyone in this thread has been alive - give it a rest. We'

Eh yeah I've heard these. The important bit to remember is Part 97.113 on prohibited transmissions: "Communications, on a regular basis, which could reasonably be furnished alternatively through other radio services." That&#x

Well we're not really being kicked off, the FCC is proposing to change the allocation to match what was agreed to in WRC-15. This page summarizes: http://arrl.org/60-meter-band

Electric cars would have to suck pretty bad for someone to spend twice as much, I'm not sure that anecdote is saying what you seem to think it is. They might be saying "In an ideal world I'd drive a gas car, but the electric

The bar for "good enough" is artificially lower in Norway when it comes to EVs. I'm not sure if you're aware just how huge the subsides are for EVs in Norway. They are trying to reduce these a bit and I'll be intere

EV suffering range loss in cold conditions is well documented. Norway has tons of EVs purely because of massive government incentives.

I think the proposed rule to replace the baud limits in VHF and above will make more of a difference. All the major weak signal HF digital modes use low baud rates anyway to better deal with multipath interference that's common at thos

I don't think this deserves to be downvoted. Alas the "you'll own nothing and you'll like it" / "you'll go where we say according to our schedules and you'll like it" crowd is strong here. Y

OP appears to be Finnish judging by the OH callsign - perhaps his regulator cares about all the interference to the amateur bands from cheap electronic devices. As a fellow ham I can assure you that the FCC does not care about interference

The "Skyactiv-X thing" absolutely works and is available on Mazda 3s in Europe now. It doesn't work in the US because of our very stringent NOx emission rules (which, incidentally, is one of the reasons diesels are less popul

You may be interested to read about the first generation Honda Insight and/or the Honda CRZ. Both were hybrids that were available with a manual transmission. But as another commenter has already explained, Mazda's setup here is v

If they pull this off (especially if it's possible to do all-electric at low speeds for short distances) I'll be on the preorder list for sure. A manual would be preferable, but that may be too complicated to allow given the power

This guy was very right once and has basically been wrong ever since - why is this interesting? Remember his massive bets on water and disastrous short position on Tesla?

This is an interesting way to frame something I've seen stated as "if you don't own the land you don't get to decide what to do with it". I can't say for certain if people would be willing to pay above "ma

The value of some places is the very fact that they're low density. I don't think that applies to strip malls necessarily, but this is why people come out strong against upzoning suburban or rural areas. The people that live there

I've been interested in putting one of the MIPS variants of these into service in my homelab, but I can't find a reasonably priced one. It seems the x86 ones are most common on ebay

This reminds me of TinyCore Linux, which distributes packages as squashfs archives and dynamically mounts them at runtime with symlinks to the system directories. Pretty neat.
