    That article was so poorly written, I struggled to get through it, save for my interest in Malick. What a half baked analysis of Thin Red Line. There's just so much more going on i…

    Self-employed since 2020. I'm basically a software consultant doing hands on software development in the .Net world.

    Not sure about this. I searched for my own podcast, The GMRS Podcast, and the suggestions were all over the place. The Tournament Poker Podcast being number one followed by a Magic…

    It seems like it would be pretty easy to stand near one of these with a frequency counter, or even a handheld Yeasu FT-60 and find out what frequency it's using. It would be very c…

    Unfortunately that's the only one I know of with an app interface. I did reverse engineer the app and tried to get some cooperation with the manufacturer of the radio to create an …

    I'm pretty deep into radio and never in a million years would have thought I would be. I even remember giving a co-worker a hard time for getting his ham radio license. Now, I'm a …

    TIDRadio make something similar to this with a Bluetooth interface instead of the cable. It's a decent piece of hardware, but the app is pretty bad and limited. There's a market in…

    This is exactly what I thought when I saw that title. And I was just measuring the SWR of my roof-mounted omni antenna.

    I always wondered how DarkSky got that "hyperlocal" weather data. After getting into amateur radio and learning about APRS, I'm thinking they used APRS weather beacons to obtain th…

    I...third this. Autosleep is a very well put together app and it's incredibly useful.

    I haven't read anything profound or non-obvious on this topic and there's a lot written about it. The one thing I have learned creating and trying to get a 2 sided marketplace off …

    An excellent movie. I've watched it twice and will likely watch it again.

    Some of the best info on this can be found in the book, The Obesity Code by Dr. Jason Fung. Also, here's a short video by him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIuj-oMN-Fk

    I've been doing IF and LCHF for a few months now too. Previously, I only did Keto (no IF) and lost 70 pounds but later put some back on. The biggest benefit to me from IF isn't the…

    I'm founder of a similar 2 sided marketplace addressing the same market, but for buying and selling ( https://gearoffer.com ). KitSplit likely has a fraud problem that's much large…

    Would this cover a marketplace scenario? For instance, we use Connect and transfer a purchase balance to our Connect account users after a purchase is made. If we encounter a charg…

    I am working on a peer-to-peer marketplace for buying and selling used camera gear. Currently, the only way to do this is via Craig's List, Ebay or forums. We're creating dedicated…
