Biblical Scholarship is a lot like kindergarten art scholarship... I can look at my kid's art and identify the changing themes, influences of substitutes, changing friend groups, and step functions introduced by art class... And all of those are real and intensely interesting to me... but a random stranger will take a glance and notice that it's clearly in crayon by someone obsessed with the idea of cat and unicorn hybrids...
What I'm saying is that just because I could spend untold hours analyzing kindergarten art projects and present it to the parents in the class who will also find it intensely interesting, cat-icorns aren't real... they're just my child's way of imagining what's beyond their perceptions.
Presuming this is just incompetence instead of malice, when the missing paragraphs are replaced, will "Constitution of the United States Website has replaced missing sections" hit the front page of HN?
I thought this was just a goof too, then I went to look at the commentary. There are "explainers" for each part of each Article. In the Explainer contents for Article I, where there should be 10 sections, the truncation of the Explanatory articles begins at Article 1 Section 8 Clause 13 and continues through the end of Article I on the site. Clause 13 establishes the maintenance of the Navy.
This suggests that they were trying to do an overhaul of the contents and made a structural screw-up that caused this. Ironically, these pages are indexed in the search engines still. If you search for "USC Article 1 Section 8 Clause 13" you'll get link to the explainer page [1], and a 404 when you try to navigate to it.
Because in this case even if it were malice, it would still be of the incompetent kind. So as per the conjunction fallacy, it's far more likely to be incompetence than malice.
I'm not being snotty. What is the fixed point from which they are measuring the speed? Is the object moving 1M mph relative to earth? The black hole at the center of Milky Way?
"The state can't give you free speech, and the state can't take it away. You're born with it, like your eyes, like your ears. Freedom is something you assume, then you wait for someone to try to take it away. The degree to which you resist is the degree to which you are free" ― Utah Phillips
> I had originally intended to spend this trip operating FT8 and CW, but for some reason I found myself really enjoying FT4 (a mode I had never used before), so I spent most of my day camped out on 14080Kc, and then shifted to 10136 and 7074 in the evening.
As a non-radio enthusiast, I was following along until this sentence.
FT8, CW and FT4 are all types of modulations, or ways of imprinting information onto a radio signal. They offer different performance under different channel conditions.
14080Kc ( = 14080 KHz = 14.08 MHz), 10136 (=10.136 MHz) and 7074 (=7.074 MHz) are the frequencies of the radio channels being used.
The ionosphere (which is partly powered by the sun) tends to dissipate at night and not reflect higher frequencies as well. Thus one tends to use lower frequencies during the evening/night and higher frequencies during the day.
As an aside, an ionosonde is a radar which can measure and display the reflectivity of the ionosphere in real-time as function of things like height/range, radio frequency and direction. Not many people get to play with them, but they are a great tool to learn how the ionosphere works. You can sit in front of the display and watch in real-time as the ionosphere's response changes and it's height increases as night approaches and see how it varies from day to day. Beats reading about it in a text book and it's fascinating to watch.
Here's a link to an online ionosonde, displaying ionograms in real-time, updated every 5 minutes:
Haha, I saw this comment coming as I wrote this sentence. I tried to link to everything you might find relevant in the text.
The other comment under yours does a great job explaining things too.
As an additional note KC (Kilo Cycles) is the old way of writing Kilohertz. I just happen to prefer writing Kc for some reason even though I know it's no longer "correct"
I know it might be not be an obvious difference for people living in US these days, but there's in fact a massive difference between a megacorporation and elected government.
We vote for the parliament, which was only like a week ago. Each country also votes for their government, at times specified by their constitutions. Those governments then form the Commission and the Council.
One is a for-profit company known for anti-competitive and cut-throat techniques, as well as expert in tax dodging over the world.
The other is a governmental group formed by 27 rather different countries, all having a wide range of philosophies, cultures, corruption and mentalities.
I know which one I am more likely to get some level-headed decision which might help me.
The EU at the cutting edge of competition law, which is to say it is looking actively at the competitive landscape and saying "what are the problems?" then moving doctrine along to solve them. There's a lot to be said for the approach.
If the EU can be said to have an agenda, it is clear from the rules - their agenda is market fairness, and the ability of new entrants to successfully compete. The DMA is a key plank of that, but there will be others.
