"Starting at $2,199"

Freedom isn't free, apparently.

A close read of the statement suggests that this is more of a feel-good thing and not much to worry about. If those tribes get actual sovereignty over those waters, they’ll soon find them full of Chinese fishing trawlers.

The statement notes that the waters are “also claimed” by the California state government, which “supports the concept” of tribal stewardship. This whole thing seems pretty insubstantial.

Take it down a notch, please.

This is an excellent description of the trajectory of Digg, the first platform I witnessed going through this lifecycle. In this case, the competitor that drained users from Digg was Reddit.

Another feature of Digg’s decline was a disastrous redesign that, overnight, soured most of the users on the site. It was basically a speed run of step 5 here.

I too have been trying to think of a more civil version of this word lately. Entrashment? Crudification?

And to make matters worse, much of that loan from the federal government was paid to fraudulent claims - it was ripped off by scammers.

After the Better Help fiasco, I’d imagine people would be very hesitant to use something like this without some kind of third-party auditing and certification that their data aren’t being used to sell them stuff.

I don’t think so, the transmitter was under the power limit for amateur FM, and it didn’t overlap any local stations. That was my interpretation of the law as I read it before I built the station, doesn’t make it accurate or authoritative though.

During pandemic I set up a little automated FM radio station for my block and the surrounding ones. It had a voice-synthesized DJ and a big randomized playlist of great music. The whole thing ran on an RPi with a little USB FM transmitter. My neighbors - the ones who still owned radios - loved it.

Lighten up, Minkowski.

And I thought I couldn’t hate sports betting any more than I already did. The ghost of Walter Annenberg is still haunting that slimy industry.

You’re talking about two very different eras and this two different sets of people.
