The long term stability is much better than a typical GPSDO, for sure. I was just making a somewhat pedantic statement of what’s in the atomic clock box.

(also a time-nuts lurker, who’d occasionally worked on related things) The actual atomic frequency you’re locking to in an atomic standard is an obnoxious frequency in the GHz Range. For example Cs is 9,192,631,770 Hz. To get a 10 MHz reference frequency out of that requires a very high quality quartz oscillator and a PLL loop, so there’s a PLL right off the bat.

How many people with polio do you know? What’s her explanation of why polio almost disappeared after everyone was vaccinated? Couching a bunch of BS in “if she’s right” makes you sound like a shill.

Ah, an economist from George Mason. Say no more. I expect he has no children due to the negative economic impact of child rearing.

That's an urban legend.

How is the typical person supposed to decide the best path of care? How do you incentivize competition while keeping standards of care up so that people receive good care with highly complex tradeoffs.

Oh sure, but the Catholic Church didn't have to answer to a bunch of analysts whose only skill is fast excel spreadsheeting.

I believe the GNURadio folks have implemented at least some of this, so it might be worth poking around GNURadio for a bit, Tags are what you're looking for.

But will the computer add appropriate tagging and links?
