First of all, a lot of good info, so I appreciate that! I'm not going down this route right now (too many other priorities), but I like to think strategically about this subject, as I do about many others. >"SDR became wildly popular (well, relatively, amongst geeks) when someone worked out a ~$10 usb dtv tuner could be used easily as an SDR receiver." Strangely, I never heard about this, but I'd be interested to learn more; links/references? >"Once you start transmitting though, things get way more complicated very quickly. Some of those radio protocols you listed (Bluetooth/WiFi/ZigBee)…
Did I not say "I don't mean to offend you by saying that" in my message? ? Two Questions: 1) What is the first principle of Law? Why does it exist? 2) What is the first principle of Radio? How does it exist? ? Also, I might suggest that labeling others, while highly effective at shutting down debate (this technique is used by TV news anchors -- label opponents, then offer a quick quip as to what the majority in society would disagree with most with the label previously given, then feel good about having done so), is also equal-and-oppositely highly damaging to one's own continuing…
> You see, to quote William Shakespeare's "Hamlet": >"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy." Sorry, but a can’t help but think from your wordsalad here that you understand barely more about regulatory aspects of radio bandwidth use than Shakespeare did... I can’t even work out where to start to guide you down a path where your “Understanding of both Law and Radio” might start to intersect with reality in 2021 society. So I’m not even going to try. One hint I will throw you about SDR - use the keyword “RTL SDR”, you’ll find many simple…
I read some books 100 times, but mostly technical manuals. It is good to have some basic stuff in long term memory of our brain Author is writer and should put disclaimer "...because it is good for my job and I like it". Hamlet does not apply anywhere. > It’s not just that Hamlet is a great piece of literature, either. It’s that every scene is a great piece of literature. I read Hamlet and it felt like spoof of itself. It does not have a story, every character dies, too many boiler plate dialogs. Perhaps it was great in 17th century, but there are better things today.
Your homework is to go find a teenager and ask them: What is a bodkin? What is "contumely"? What is "dispriz’d love"? What does "his quietus make" mean? Finally, you can give them the entire passage and ask, what is Hamlet actually contemplating here? A abnormally well-read teenager stands a chance at that last one... but only a chance. An average teenager does not. I will be blunt. I don't believe you read it "without any issues". Either you're just saying that so you don't bear the dread stigma of "couldn't read Shakespeare", you had a commentary you were reading it with, or you…
>Interesting quotes/passages are few Well, I wasn't limiting it to meme-friendly fragments such as "To be or not to be" from Hamlet. To go back to the premise mentioned by theswan, it was "good college-level literature course". That means most of the text like Hamlet is discussed and annotated front to back. A literary guide such as Norton Critical edition of Hamlet will have annotations for every single line of the play. Hamlet is easy to digitize into RapGenius because it's 400 years old and public domain.[1],[2] For a recent book still under copyright such as Twilight or Harry…
If the books you want to discuss are still under active copyright (Stephen King, Cormac McCarthy, etc) instead of the public domain (e.g. Mark Twain, Shakespeare, etc), how do you envision the shared annotations feature to work? For example, google books doesn't show pages 43-44 (and many other pages are missing) in Blood Meridian: http://books.google.com/books?id=s-QzccStux4C&lpg=PP1&dq=blo... It seems that to create a website to fulfill your idea, we would need to have a blanket license to not only store 100% of the text digitally on the servers' harddrives but to also display any part…
This is a great criticism, even though few will agree with his assertion than Hamlet is an "artistic failure". Instead of considering the play as a fully deliberate creation by Shakespeare, Eliot considers what Shakespeare layers on top of his source material. This gives rise to some fair criticism. For example Shakespeare seem to handle the "madness" quite illogicaly compared to the Amleth legend. In Amleth, he plays mad (or rather retarded) in order to seem unthreatening to the uncle. But in Shakespeares Hamlet, the feigned madness has it has the opposite effect - it causes the suspicion…
Don't worry it's a sane reaction to an insane world. It's cultural. Prozac won't fix it. Universal basic income won't fix it. Renouncing post-colonial guilt and solving climate-change probably wouldn't fix it immediately. Hell, if extra-terrestrial life turned up tomorrow in a giant flying saucer and said: "Hey Earthmen, there's a huge party happening at the centre of the galaxy, hop on in!" We'd say: "Sorry I'm busy with work". We've collectively lost sight of what there is to love, the difference between Eros Thanatos. We have been, and for some time will continue to be, in a war by…
Addendum: Everything that the FCC (and its counterparts in foreign countries) regulate -- are waves that are Hertzian in nature. These types of waves follow the Inverse-square Law:(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse-square_law), that is, they drop off inversely proportional to the square of distance. It's a good thing that they do, too, because otherwise everyone's radio transmitter of whatever type (cell phone, garage door opener, TV remote, Wi-Fi, etc.), would interfere with everyone else's -- and this doesn't happen. Nature, via the Inverse-square Law -- prevents this for the most…
