"It is MUCH more difficult to jam Loran, even in theory."
Not if you're close to the target you want to jam. Free-space path loss is proportional to the square of the distance between the transmitter and receiver, and also proportional to the square of the frequency of the radio signal.
Thank you! But that doesn't make for a good salacious clickbait headline, does it?
They also failed to mention that LORAN is only good around coastlines. I have fond memories of sailing in the Santa Barbara channel using LORAN, where if you got a fix every 30 minutes or so you felt really good about life in general.
There are pig headed assholes on both sides, no doubt about it. That being said my leftist friends tend to be much better at overblown righteous indignation, and the you're ALL IN or your OUT mindset. You've proven this by insinuating I'm a "deluded right winger" when the truth is I have a sense of humor, and made a little joke.
Should I assume that you consider all right wingers "deluded" and therefore any conversation is impossible? Racism really turns me off.
We did this to ourselves. I started coding in '79. The only women in I.T. were unattractive and lacked social skills. As we didn't have the Internet, everyone who was anyone gathered at the bi-annual or annual conference - DECUS in my case as I was a DEC guy. The few women there were mobbed by geeks, who were away for the weekend and wanted a good time. No wonder so few women joined the field.
Fast forward to the early nineties with geeks making millions of dollars. Suddenly geeks were cool, and Hollywood movies reflected the trend. This was not reflected in I.T. departments though.
Today, if you work in Digital Interactive, there are more pretty girls than guys. However in traditional I.T. the situation has only gotten marginally better. I suspect it's for the same reason in the 70's - A male dominated field means women who are not social butterflies will get a lot of unwanted attention. If you think HR has stopped men from hitting on their co-workers you are in denial...
A lot of developers are socially inept, they prefer the company of computers. It's not a crime... it's something to accept, and understand. Women are more social than men. So, less women developers. This isn't racist, it's just common sense. We need to celebrate the differences between people, not force everyone in to our little pigeon hole of how we think everyone should act.
Either you're one of us or you are a racist, homophobic, xenophobic, misogynistic, pig. The mere fact that you have to ASK what the platform is makes you one of those things.
"This person clearly contributes to a workplace toxic to women."
How did we possibly manage to survive as a species before we invented all this crap to enable us to take power over people by guilting them into becoming politically correct milquetoast replicas of each other? How did corporations function without a powerful HR department?
Those were the horrible days of Thomas Edison, Nikolia Tesla, George Westinghouse, Carrier... Let's make damn sure we don't bring that kind of attitude back, it would absolutely destroy society, right?
For an SJW breaking the peace must mean "You disagree with.000000000001% of my agenda" - which means you are EVIL and RACIST and all kinds of other horrible things, up to and including killing six million people...
"Shooting passengers along at more than 700 miles per hour seems simple -- engineers pushed 200 miles-per-hour in a test this week -- "
Clearly the author is another starry eyed idiot who thinks Physics and Engineering are just silly little problems to avoid. There is a HUGE difference between 200 and 700, it's logarithmic not linear. For those of you who suck at math this means double is not equal to twice as hard.
This kind of common sense thinking has no place on slashdot. You have to repeat sock puppet talking points, call people names, and if there's even the slightest hint you're not a West Coast granola eating tree hugging communist, er, progressive, you'll be flamed out of existence.
And then, let a few days/weeks go by, and we'll get "The anonymous sources quoted in the article could not be reached for comment"
Because they are fake people, who fed fake content to a low level blog, that lazy CNN reporters picked up using Google. If you don't think this is how this works, please go to Amazon.com and search the book section for the words "media manipulator" and read every book there.
Average Americans are tired of leftists who refuse to listen to facts, refuse to engage in any meaningful dialogue, refuse to consume any news sources not controlled by the DNC, and refuse to admit that there is a possibility that some of their ideas simply don't work in practice despite how great they sound.
Average Americans are tired of a philosophy where you are either "All In" or an "Enemy of the State"
Yep. And even more terrifying is that some 40% of the country believe whatever nonsense the propaganda machines churn out, because they have been taught zero critical thinking skills. They can repeat sock puppet talking points to perfection though.
And don't forget what's in the Podesta emails which is downright terrifying if you take time to read them.
Labor is the source of capital and wealth be it a person or a robot. Both require an investment, and both require training. The only people who don't "do" something in order to get paid are politicians...
Exactly. But lets look at the absolute basics. If you save money, you put it in a bank. That is what the bank uses to make loans. No loans, no startups, no growth, nothing. duh!
If you tax capital at 50%, and the country next door taxes it at 25%, all the money that can leave your country, does. That's why lowering the tax on money creates growth. duh!
It's common sense. But for some reason people have lost this basic ability to fathom how basic economics work, because they have been brainwashed by political ideological theories designed to fleece them of their money. They think "all sales people lie, because corporations are evil" without thinking "Wait, isn't a politician, or a political party, made up entirely of SALES PEOPLE?"
I want him to succeed, I really do, but the actual percentage of market share is abysmal and he has zero experience mass producing anything. EV's are a tiny, tiny fraction of the market, and with the Democrats shooting themselves in the foot as of late Republicans are going to be in charge for a while, which means there will be no appetite for a mandate that we buy the things, and the subsidies may also be killed.
No, the Unions seek to exploit the workers, and extract money from them, in order to bribe politicians to ensure that Union Administrators live like kings. It's an extortion racket. That's not what it started out to be, but that is what is has become.
Jeez where have you been? Reading textbooks maybe?

It's a joke. But it has a lot of truth in it. How many times have you had these conversations:
"I'm concerned about EPA over-reach"
"So, you're against clean air and water? Don't you breathe the air? Think of the children!"
"I'm concerned that Maxine Waters is tarnishing the perception of the party with her over the top rants on television"
RACIST!! RACIST FUCKING PIG! DIE DIE DIE!
I'm not so sure we need to be so caught up in this whole transgender thing. Seems like we have bigger problems to solve
HOMOPHOBE! INTOLERANT PIG! DIE DIE DIE!

All spot on but you left out a few:

In Detroit this has been around for decades:
What's the difference between the UAW, the Mafia, and City Government?
And the answer is: "They are all the same"
Wouldn't it be easier - and cheaper - to install a splitter or two and run cheap 75 ohm coax around the house?
You just need a better antenna. With Digital either you get the signal 100% or you get nothing.
5) That the whole world is flawed, and needs to be radically transformed
6) That Conservative ideas are stupid
7) That their college professors know what they are talking about (later, they discover, those who can't "do", "teach")
8) That Management is EASY, it's just barking orders at people
9) That the best strategy is to live hard and die young
10. That people like Che Guevara are cool! (They are actually murdering sociopaths)
Thank You this is all very spot on and why we gave up on India and went into Eastern Europe.
Dream on.
