I see your argument as avocating for a flavor of wealth redistribution. Is be interested in hearing more, but would prefer to explore the idea in a less polarizing, more academic way. Any sources?
I agree. I'm here because I like being part of a community where folks are balanced and measured and without outrage culture.
For what it's worth op, I never saw the criticisms, just the original article. Replying is like a Streisand effect. If you must reply, replying less directly might serve you better.
Too many of these personal finance apps aren't putting the web first
I use this too. Maybe I like the beancount more, but having my finances available on the web to share with my so is valuable. Too many told are meant for one pers,on and don't support modern ideas like tagging.
Be warned, EE jobs are drying up. I think they had negative job growth recently
I agree with the duality that you describe. Nevertheless, wouldn't the software part of an SDR reduce the need for expensive physical electronic components, while increasing ability? An amplifier seems to be the only additional expense (as you pointed out). It seems like the amplifier negates any cost benefit, yet utility remains superior if one doens't consider multiple components and building blocks a liability. It seems like there are expensive SDR transceivers (e.g. Flexradio) which utilize SDR technology to beat out the competition in specs and performance. To get on the air with a budget SDR, I haven't seen lots of demand for the idea. is the utility of a budget SDR just not better than your basic radio? It seems like it to me but where's the demand?
Does anyone have a good reccomendation for an HF transceiver? It seems like many popular SDRs are receive only or crazy expensive. I've been looking at the RS-HFIQ (https://www.hobbypcb.com/index.php/products/hf-radio/rs-hfiq) but it doesn't seem to be that popular and I can't tell if it's because it's got too much "hacker" in it for the average ham, or if something else is going on. Maybe I should just spend more money?
I'm interested in HF, but I'm interested in transmitting too. It's my understanding that Airspy is receive only?
I hadn't heard of othernet. APRS is cool and ripe for disruption.
Don't forget about the baud rate limit too. Who likes that?
Does gdpr forbid mistakes?
I feel like amateur radio is dying not because it's old, but because regulation blocks it from staying new.
Let me offer a different perspective. Is rf engineering and research obselete? Should the ability to experiment be locked into spectrum owned by monopolistic companies? And from another angle, is an Arduino project that blinks an LED worthwhile? Spectrum is a limited resource and amateur bands are one of the last ways I know of for folks to experiment within radio without submitting for expensive fcc certification.
Radio is very decentralized. I wonder if that could be a nice avenue for modernizing the hobby.
Why would you build a completely separate lab in Phoenix?
Where I work in the healthcare area, we are trying to expand from the us into Europe. And interesting legal question is how to honor Europe's right-to-be-forgotten laws with the US's HIPPA requirement to preserve health care data for X years. As an employee it also feels awkward.

Less than a watt could get you around the world.
Where/how do you find employers who pay for hairy problem solving and not just another piece of CRUD?
The scientific world may disagree. I work in bioinformatics and take a pay cut to do interesting work. It's not negative, but I'm not making a lot of money. Supply and demand- people are willing to work in a low pay field because the pot is sweet. Academia is pretty sweet gig and pays crap to work on hairy problems. UPDATE- teachers spend money out of pocket on their classes, is that negative income?
Maybe a faster release cycle will help Python and friends insulate from this issue better. Akin to os security updates.
Yes this!
If you were to get a plan on a cheap mvno with a second phone number, would it work as seamlessly as if your main number were tied to your SIM?
I thought the rule was no encryption. They theoretically have an entire ip block available.
I noticed that too. I like osmand (openstreetmap) for the same reason. It's like google maps decided to practice more minimalism than apple did.
I've been helping on the laravel v4 project. The devs are pretty friendly and I haven't found anything with a better UI than lychee. Three project doesn't do everything but what it does do, it does well.
The answer to this is usually complicated.
Sparkfun. I've had bad luck with cloned ESP32s. Arduinos seem to be more forgiving for some reason.
