Well, ham radio wasn’t how the majority of people communicated yesterday so why should it be tomorrow? Increasingly radio is how we are communicating, but it may not be obvious as the technology is hidden deep down. As in all times, there w

They just had a massive diesel oil spill in Siberia due to permafrost loss, which broke equipment. Oil is now following rivers up north to the coast.

Asymptomatic yes, but still spreading the virus. The fact that some are asymptomatic only worsens the case of COVID-19 because they will not know to stay home. Those that get sick, which could be your parents, seems to become very sick and

Well, at least there is a limit to the folding. Good luck folding it a seventh time :)

After a vacation in, then, Czechoslovakia I received a letter from the police. The letter was artfully folded so that the text would overlap at 90 degrees (if viewed with a light source behind the folded letter). I always reckoned that was

The Fourier transform, well, transforms a time-based phenomenon such as an alternating current sine wave into a frequency spectrum where you can observe the frequency spectrum components of the signal. A pure nice sine becomes a spike (delt

The definition of what constitutes Europe (the continent) has absolutely nothing to do with either the EU or post WWII war politics. Everything west of the the Black Sea and the Ural Mountains in Russia is part of the European continent. In

The Pandemrix vaccine against the latest pandemic (the swine flu) caused narcolepsy in some individuals -- seemingly with a propensity for affecting young people and possibly related to the choice of adjuvant. We're in a similar situat

The only effect I ever experienced drinking Kava some 30 years ago was that my tongue went numb... severely so :) It tastes — and looks — like water from a puddle on a gravelled country road.

Knitters or Open Sourcers, the history repeats. Instead of knitting patterns and diversity discussions we have Codes of conduct and... diversity discussions. Humans are fascinating, as a group we are stupid while the constituent individuals

An accessible explanation of how genes "work". Came across this when looking up stuff after having read about the novel Corona virus.

The Finnish form of Swedish resembles how Swedish was like a hundred years a go. "Skjorta" (a shirt) uses the pronunciation described in the article, but was earlier pronounced as "Skiorta" which I believe is the form us

I moved to Sweden from Norway at a time when writing a check really was a thing :) It baffled me that swedes would pronounce 'check' with an initial 'k'-sound (as in "käk" or "käck"), which is not at

I wonder what letter hides behind the ‘-‘? Probably the worst ever OS to develop against. I worked for almost 10 years with a product codebase that was maintained on Solaris (really nice), Linux (nice), AIX (not so nice) and HP-UX (not at a

There is a possibility that the first explosion (there were several) was nuclear-based and not steam-based [1] and produced radioactive plasma, but the plasma jets cut through both the bottom and top of the reactor. [1] https://

Eehh - who clings to a single provider? In my family we jump around among iTunes, HBO Nordic, Viaplay and Netflix. I assume we will add Disney+ as well. Where exactly is the disruption?

I assume Nabla and Solo5 would be scoring great in this (type of) test?

Interesting. So the system under consideration consists of both the airplane and the two pilots. Is this part of the design effort — I guess it is — and how do we even model the combination of technology and humans?
