Fuck off, it’s antisocial behavior and should be shamed accordingly.

You want a self-setting radio clock that receives the LF broadcast from WWVB.

There was a kerfuffle a few years back about the funding for the station being cut, but luckily that did not come to be.

You can just say it: It was weird how they made 12 year old Natalie Portman act sexy and come on to Jean Reno.

I can, but do I need to? It's already "that movie."

I don’t know about need to, but it’s weird to talk around it.

Also some people might not have seen it yet, or might have been oblivious to the issue.

Step 1: Start looking beyond your code, as the stuff beyond your code is looking at you.

Even that’s giving them too much credit. They’ll burn it all down preserve their fragile egos.

No, this is not the phenomenon that post is referring to.

The phenomenon is "I believe X" and the reaction is "SO YOU DON'T BELIEVE Y."

Elsewhere people have reacted to a situation by saying "I believe this is okay, because free speech."

But those people didn't include this specific incident, so they apparently don't believe in this one.

The difference is a statement on waffles is not a statement on pancakes, but a statement on absolute free speech is a statement on all speech.

The first one is using a statement on an adjacent issue to demand attention on one’s own pet issue. The latter is calling out alleged hypocrisy.

You owe it to yourself to read up on the message and the circumstances around the song. Simple words, profound metaphor for life during wartime.

Then do the flip side of the record (“Expensive Shit”.)

Sounds fun! Would be a post worth reading if you remember any details or could sketch some out.

I'll dig through the notebooks and see if there are any left. I printed them out when they got interesting. I can already see this turning into an all-day session of reviewing the decades of odd projects that I've forgotten about. Maybe that's the project for next week. Like some people list all the concerts they've been to, I'll attempt all the projects I've done over the years. The hacker's equivalent.

There are hundreds of articles in this genre from years of failed Kickstarters and Maker-types selling DIY hardware kits.

How you get funding for a hardware startup without cursory research into this is staggering.

"cursory" implies fairly shallow / quick looking into it - given they have delivered, I'd say they met that benchmark. And the funding is obvious, through Kickstarter.

There's demand for high intensity lamps (and other hardware projects), a lot fail but some succeed, and lessons are learned. And not just by the people starting these projects, a big part of why these projects start in the first place is because the manufacturers make it accessible too.
