Do you mean as a sort of sponsored/approved false flag, or just that thoughts of revolution are reaching up into institutions?

Here's a screenshot of the highest reading I saw (11.37) and an english overlay of possible units it can display. It's hard to see the button positions.

> 0.1137 milisievert / hour
I saw 11.37 on the display, wouldn't that be 0.01137 ?

Tends to happen when you call people lazy, etc. They miss your point.

I wasn't trying to compare paid/free, just that there's a renewed opening for a beginner friendly pirate platform.
Yes, popcorn time failed, but I was referencing the thing where it had once made inroads with non-technical people in some part because of the ease and not just the "Free" part.

Feels like they are referencing something that includes the google-able tagline "lower price than the majority of file hosters while still offering"

Sort of waiting for some new iteration of what "popcorn time" was. With all the fragmentation of content across different providers, and more aggressive actions on account sharing, crossing region restrictions, etc...it feels like average people are now starting to complain a lot.
There is an opening for a very beginner friendly pirate platform to rise again. Not because nobody wants to pay exactly, but because doing it legally is complex now.

The article does later get into "changing the shape of the scoop", meaning a more directional antenna. And the designs for directional antennas are generally larger than omnidirectional ones.

The headline makes it sound broader than it is. Rather than "CA Cities", it's actually "will eliminate the zoning ordinances of the vast majority of cities throughout the Bay Area". Still pretty broad, of course.

The chart doesn't seem to account for the profiles that only have a slot on 1 or 2 sides versus all 4. I would guess those are quite a bit stronger. Like this one: https://8020.net/media/catalog/product/cache/9208ae76a38c408...
Edit: Their calculator shows the same exact deflection with the same weight, so maybe not, though that seems odd to me. https://8020.net/deflection-calculator

The really large explosions in size seem to come from internal politics to me. Where leaders of individual internal groups start to have their own goals and agendas separate from the company goals...and start empire building.

There's a US anti-dumping embargo on extruded aluminum, which seems to keep the price high.

I agree it's not for everything, but it seems like better NLP/NLG could improve things like Alexa a lot. Alexa is fine for setting timers, turning off lights, etc. But currently when I ask it anything that Google Search or ChatGPT handles well, Alexa falls down and tells me the wrong info.

Sales industry professional, with varied technical interests including sports analytics. Even though I'm not as technical as the typical person on this site, I really enjoy learning from it. I'd recommend other people that aren't full-time in the software world spend some time here...it's a well managed site, and there's plenty of stories to contribute to.
I have a Recreational Sports Event Management Degree from the University of North Texas (UNT) in Denton, TX. I sell cars for a living now, but certainly event management and my side expertise related to analytics helps out there.
Some quotes that have stuck with me:
"Yale, economics and baseball....you're funny Pete." - Moneyball. I really loved this movie.
"Baseball fans are junkies, and their heroin is the statistic." - Robert S. Weider in In Praise of the Second Season (1981)
"Getting diligent about tracking your own statistics isn’t the sexiest solution in the world, but it is perhaps the best one. You’ll quickly start seeing trends emerge, and will highlight the areas you need to focus on the most." - Mark Broadie, Columbia Business School professor and author of Every Shot Counts.
