Transmit power has nothing to do with antenna length. In fact if you change the antenna length you change the resonating frequency of the antenna. Satellites are also line of sight and most sat antennas radiate straight up instead of multi-

Iridium operates at 1620 MHz. Many cell signals operate much lower than that (ie some 4G at 700mhz). If you can fit a 4G antenna in a phone you can easily fit one for iridium.

If 100% of people were immunized then 100% of hospitalizations would be vaccinated people. This doesn’t mean vaccines aren’t effective.

We used to do this in the late 90's (when there were less hosting options in general). A bunch of us at work wanted to run our own sites and experiments online, so we pooled our money and built a server that sat at one of our houses.

All this will do is drive up the cost of housing as remote workers compete for it, driving out the locals. Remote workers also don’t fully contribute to the economy of the rural area because their place of employment is not in that area. If

I would assume for backward compatibility. If you don’t have the font with the updated emojis you can still get the reference.

On Twitter you can remove your phone number after the fact tho. In fact most sites that req a phone number to sign up etc allow you to remove the phone number later if you choose.

Entirely depends on who is writing it. I like to read the forecast discussions because they tend to give more of the rationale for the forecast. You learn the thought process that goes into it, based on what they're seeing. That said

Yes, the norm everywhere is 30%. It's 30% on Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo eShop, etc. Only Epic's store is less (12%). https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/10/07/report-steams-30-cut...

Agreed. My father is a carpenter and I helped him build our family cabin when I was a pre-teen. We did mostly all of the building except putting up the trusses and finishing the roof. My dad was smart enough to farm out that work. Now I

The FCC definition of broadcasting (per Part 97) is "Transmissions intended for reception by the general public, either direct or relayed." This is not allowed on ham bands, as these are not frequencies for general public use. Br

You can tell the author is not a ham when he says hams "broadcast" their radio message. They don't broadcast (per FCC rule), they make transmissions. I can see where the author is going here, but the analogy seems a little w

Same is true of Green Bay, WI. About 15% of the city intersects with the Oneida Nation reservation. While also not a "major" city, it is over twice the size of Palm Springs.

Anecdotal, but the F500 company I'm at has already said they expect WFH to be a staple of company life moving forward, even after this is all over, mainly because it's been so successful. They did not expect productivity to stay

Of course. That’s why depreciation and MACRS exists. The point is it’s not a $1500 sunk cost. You get a multi year deduction and an asset in return. How you handle that asset is up to you.

You would also then have a $1500 asset that you could sell at a later date. When you're an employee you don't have that option. If you aren't able to max out your retirement account it means your QBI deduction is larger. As w

Keep in mind that contractors can put up to $57k per year into a retirement account and can deduct 20% of income from the QBI deduction which will drastically reduce your taxable income.

Well said. As someone who's been contracting full time for over a decade, I have never used a public job listing to find a gig (nor would I). Not only are the rates low, they are usually non-negotiable. I've always gotten my gig

They also have benefits that W2 employees do not, like deducting expenses, $50k+ in allowable retirement contributions per year, and the 20% QBI deduction.

If we work backwards the odd wording here is "driven back". It's possible they mean by boat, and the spot 10 miles from the lodge with a dock is Daisy Farm campsite. There's no ranger station but it is manned in-season
