But Puerto Rico isn’t on eastern time. And I think the exceptions in Arizona are reservations and tribal land.

Hey, I just learned that you wrote the original dump1090. Thanks for that! Makes sense yhat you’re pretty good at RF stuff, eh?

It’s an unbelievably versatile and appropriate quote, and yours is an unbelievably on-point username.

This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we’ll be lucky to live through it.

I haven’t watched the whole movie, but I’ve watched this scene a number of times and it’s really good.

If you like this, you’d probably really enjoy the hobby of ADS-B tracking. If you have a spare Pi sitting around, you can get an SDR and decent starter antenna for under $100. It’s also a fun entry point into other radio and satellite stuff

Wasn’t the Model T the first mass-produced automobile? Wouldn’t surprise me if the early 20th century electric cars were basically handbuilt by dozens or even hundreds of different manufacturers.

He described “the missed acceleration in sales” of pumping Liquid Smoke down old oil wells as “a direct hard cost” of the regulatory regime. That tells me all I need to know about our narrator’s intellectual honesty. I’m open to being convi

But which was it? Was “aviation instrumental in containing the disaster” or did “virtually none of the neutron absorbers” reach the core? Those are both quotes from your post. In literal or figurative battles, there are plenty of examples o

Yeah, when the word “allision” was right there!

You’re expecting tinkerers to approach the skill level of an experienced EE? Then what is the education and career experience for? That also seems to have very little to due with the safety concerns you express in your last two paragraphs.

I very much doubt it would be more expensive, even for whatever the going rate is for a spray-and-pray license scheme. In a half hour phone call, a decent lawyer can learn the facts and assess this fact pattern and say “this is a fishing ex

I know how much fun it is to rag on lawyers, but this is pretty much exactly why companies have legal departments. This should have been referred to the company’s legal department, who could have coordinated the response and/or investi

100% this (for me at least). I’ve owned all the Xboxes since the first one up through the… Xbox One, I think? Was that one? I think I actually had an Xbox One X as a mid-lifecycle refresh, and when the next one came out and had a terrible n

Although it’s mentioned in the article, I’m surprised that the author didn’t place more emphasis on the different set of state laws that typically apply to mobile homes given their status as (theoretically) moveable property. The relative e

Fair enough! I think the primary issue was that for a while, no one had any idea why previous processes just stopped working. But my recollection of this is obviously hazy at best.

Wow! I would have been absolutely fascinated by this when I was a kid. I remember once wandering around my college library and finding the book “The Soviet Economy Through the Year 2000.” This occurred during the current millennium.

Wasn’t there also some issue with water when the A-12 or SR-71 was being built? Like the local water treatment plant started fluoridating the water or something, and it completely screwed up the production process?

For one, a higher child-to-caregiver ratio. There may be others, but this seems to be the easiest lever to pull to eke out some productivity gains. Personally, I’m completely fine with having this be the subject of regulation - even if it’s

The modern day example that really made Baumol click for me is child care, particularly day care. It’s a highly labor intensive with basically minimal opportunities for productivity enhancements (due both to regulation and parental preferen

Thanks, appreciate the recommendation! Polycam looks pretty pricy - is the subscription necessary for casual scanning, or does the free version work? I assume I would need at least the basic subscription. I’m happy to pay for software, but

Same thing with old magazines. The articles - eh, I could take them or leave them. But I just get lost in the advertisements.

I commend you for your imagination. Can I ask how you crafted the object to match the dimensions? I’m brand new to 3D printing and currently climbing the learning curve of printing itself but will want to start learning about doing my own m

Fortunately or unfortunately, the New York Times is now a gaming/recipes company with a newspaper attached to it. Probably mostly a good thing now that I think about it - it moves the paper closer to the model of 20th century journalis

It’s literally just saying 6-7. No, I don’t get it either. My kids thought it was hilarious to watch me grapple with it, though.
