I'm very lucky to have an independent radio station in my area. It's run by a nearby college, but they let anyone take training to become a host.
They don't always play music I like (hell, they don't always even play music) but I'll deal with 30 minutes of buddhist chanting because the variety can't be beaten. Also, they have no ad breaks.
A much better idea than when I tried to organize my restaurant with hashtables.
It was too much for the waitstaff, who had to reindex the floor plan every time they added or removed a plate.
On the plus side, delivering the right food was always O(1).
Surely this could be good, right?
If celebrities need to be accessible to their biggest fans, maybe it would induce them to leave the birdsite? And if this is as big a migration as the article suggests, it has the potential to snowball in network effects, giving other influential users one less reason to feel chained to a dumpster fire.
I worked on a product that was only allowed to return 200 OK, no matter what.
Apparently some early and wealthy customer was too lazy to check error codes in the response, so we had to return 200 or else their site broke. Then we'd get emails from other customers complaining that our response codes were wrong.
Sounds like a pretty shit security feature. I wonder if it would keep the door open if I were to print a photo of the owner and wear it like a mask.
When I watched those episodes for the first time, my reaction was: "So the Silicon Valley billionaire would just let the poor people use his network to get their messages out?"
The rich were portrayed as apathetic, instead of active participants.
Not that I was ever interested in being military, but I was at a lunch with two older lifelong army retirees. They kept talking about how military service broke their bodies and politicians won't cover their medical costs. These injuries were independent of any combat: It's just expected that you sell every part of yourself when you sign up.
Who wants to be 45 years old with a limp, be unable to hear a quiet conversation, and have horrible back problems?
Yes, OP I highly recommend a GL.iNet device. It's pocket sized and always does the job.
It's also great for shitty wifi that tries to limit how many devices you can connect. The router will appear as one MAC and then all your other devices can route traffic through it.
A story I heard was that it was the poor indigenous farmers who were forced to cultivate coffee for the Dutch. They weren't allowed any of the beans they grew, but were able to collect it from the dung of civets that prowled around near the plantation. Of course, once the colonizers learned that it tasted "good", it was commoditized too.
Might be apocryphal.
Theoretically, that's all you need. It's possible to use certain internet linked amateur transmitters for no cost as long as you have a valid callsign. However, I promise it's a lot more fun with a real transceiver. You can buy a bare minimum, highly hackable handheld VHF/UHF transceiver for as little as $20.
Or you can slowly give your soul to the moneypit of HF equipment...
This is one of my favorite movies. It's not for everyone, but if you like long unconventional films, maybe you'll like it too.
Movie contains scenes depicting violence, human misery, nudity, and filthy/unsanitary medieval life.
