That article was so poorly written, I struggled to get through it, save for my interest in Malick. What a half baked analysis of Thin Red Line. There's just so much more going on in that movie than the author gives credit for.

Not sure about this. I searched for my own podcast, The GMRS Podcast, and the suggestions were all over the place. The Tournament Poker Podcast being number one followed by a Magic The Gathering podcast and some automotive stuff. Needs work

It seems like it would be pretty easy to stand near one of these with a frequency counter, or even a handheld Yeasu FT-60 and find out what frequency it's using. It would be very clear if it was relaying data or voice as well. From the

Unfortunately that's the only one I know of with an app interface. I did reverse engineer the app and tried to get some cooperation with the manufacturer of the radio to create an app of my own, but they weren't interested.

I'm pretty deep into radio and never in a million years would have thought I would be. I even remember giving a co-worker a hard time for getting his ham radio license. Now, I'm a full-fledged GMRS and ham nerd. 1) It's worth

TIDRadio make something similar to this with a Bluetooth interface instead of the cable. It's a decent piece of hardware, but the app is pretty bad and limited. There's a market in ham radio for a Bluetooth interface to replace th

This is exactly what I thought when I saw that title. And I was just measuring the SWR of my roof-mounted omni antenna.

I always wondered how DarkSky got that "hyperlocal" weather data. After getting into amateur radio and learning about APRS, I'm thinking they used APRS weather beacons to obtain that data. If not, it sure would be good source

I haven't read anything profound or non-obvious on this topic and there's a lot written about it. The one thing I have learned creating and trying to get a 2 sided marketplace off the ground ( https://gearoffer.com ) is

An excellent movie. I've watched it twice and will likely watch it again.

I think some of this slowdown is due to reaching "peak sensor". Much of the frenzy back in 2007-2012 was due to big advancements in sensor technology, namely, low-light performance. But now, my Fuji X100, which came out in 2011 st

Some of the best info on this can be found in the book, The Obesity Code by Dr. Jason Fung. Also, here's a short video by him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIuj-oMN-Fk

I've been doing IF and LCHF for a few months now too. Previously, I only did Keto (no IF) and lost 70 pounds but later put some back on. The biggest benefit to me from IF isn't the weight loss, it's the increased energy level

I'm founder of a similar 2 sided marketplace addressing the same market, but for buying and selling ( https://gearoffer.com ). KitSplit likely has a fraud problem that's much larger than they admit. Even at our small sca

Would this cover a marketplace scenario? For instance, we use Connect and transfer a purchase balance to our Connect account users after a purchase is made. If we encounter a chargeback, we also have to come up with the full cost of the ite

I am working on a peer-to-peer marketplace for buying and selling used camera gear. Currently, the only way to do this is via Craig's List, Ebay or forums. We're creating dedicated marketplace and we'll be facilitating secure

With Xamarin, you can use it with both Xamarin Studio and Visual Studio. I believe XS is free now and you can get VS Community for free too.

Same here. I lost 75 pounds on the keto diet. It's not so much a diet for me anymore, it's just how I eat. I wrote about my experience here: https://thedon.me/2015/10/07/i-lost-63-pounds-heres-how&#x
