You see, wire telegraph is a kind of very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, and they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat.
I’ve seen this before, and for whatever reason I always imagine Mark Twain saying it. It sounds like the way he would have explained something complex.

I guess I’ve never been in an organization like that. Every Pi I’ve ever worked with knew at least the high level of what people were working on. Thanks for the insight.
- Comment on Elon Musk has an h-index. 1 week ago:
The PI should definitely be on the paper. But the president of the company should not. He’s not the PI. At the lab where I work, if you didn’t participate in the research, you don’t go on the paper. I don’t throw Donald Trump on there, why should they put Elon on there? There’s a lot of people paying for research who aren’t listed as authors. I’ve literally never put a funder as an author. I’ve mentioned it at the end in an acknowledgement section, but not authorship.

If he didn’t have anything to do with the paper, he shouldn’t be on the paper

- Comment on [FoAR] Foundations of Amateur Radio - Amateur Radio has literally changed my world view #podcast 2 months ago:
For me it was while studying for my license. I have a much longer past in electronic circuits than in radio, so for me that’s the component of our hobby that attracted me the most. But I’ve always only messed with DC circuits, never AC. Not necessarily by design, just that a lot of hobby circuits are DC (for good reason). So studying for the test caused me to learn a significant amount about electricity. But now I hear people at work talking about reactance or inductance or whatever all the time. And truth be told it was probably happening before, too, but I never noticed it because these concepts weren’t on my radar.

I’ve been planting clover in my yard for a few years, but haven’t planted any this season. Need to do another round. Fucking love clover, it’s the best thing ever. Nitrogen fixation for free and I get flowers and butterflies and shit? Sign me the fuck up.

Re-wilding a tree in my yard. I haven’t mowed under it all summer, and I didn’t take any leaves last fall. Trying to get a healthy mat of organic material under it.

Was the article talking about an actual rose, or were they just using a flowery description for something else?
