A Mark VI only has a 18 to 160 kiloton yield.

Can we replace it with a B83?

POWs do not need to be charged with a crime. Indeed, under international treaties and laws governing armed conflict, POWs generally can’t be criminally charged for simply participating in hostilities.

They can be held without charge until the conclusion of hostilities. They are not entitled to the protections afforded to the accused, because they are not accused. They are not entitled to access to the criminal justice system.

By describing them as “invaders”, he is suggesting that immigrants be treated as enemy combatants.

True. I should have been more clear: Deportation requires the involvement of the judicial branch. Repatriation has no such requirement. “Repatriation” is a more generic term for returning to one’s country of origin.

I did not mean to suggest that “repatriation” was exclusive to POWs, and I apologize if I gave that impression. I meant to distinguish between judicial and non-judicial.

They’re used where there are windows close enough that, if broken by an intruder, the intruder would be able to operate the lock.

The better solution is, of course, to not use such doors.

“Criminals they forced into the United States” = “Invasion”

“Repatriation” != “Deportation”

Repatriation is what happens when you return a POW to their country of origin. Deportation is when you return a criminal to their country of origin.

POWs are not entitled to access to the criminal justice system. They can be held indefinitely without charges, or returned to their country of origin, without judicial oversight. Since deportation is a judicial process, POWs are not subject to deportation.

POWs are not “subject to the jurisdiction” of US law; Trump is arguing that the children of “invader-immigrants” can’t be citizens.

I agree, ham radio isn’t an FCC enforcement priority.

In would say that hams do have access to this level of technology via Software Defined Radio.

You can tell which direction a radio signal is coming from, using a directional antenna like a yagi, you literally sweep the antenna around and listen for where the signal is strongest.

This is valid, but old school.

Modern WiFi routers use a technology called MIMO. Basically, they use multiple antennas. Each one picks up the same incoming signal at a slightly different time. Once the router knows the time difference, they can listen only for signals with that specific difference. This allows them to focus on signals from thst specific directiin, and reject noise from different sources.

The router can then turn around and send outgoing signals at slightly different timings on each antenna. This strengthens the signal in the direction of the intended receiver, but not in other directions.

The underlying technology is certainly capable of direction finding, but it does so instantaneously, for every signal it hears.

This technology is broadly available in consumer-grade electronics; it is certainly available to the “radio cops” of the FCC, if they choose to use it.

to anyone else listening, it would simply sound like a song or other audio track being played.

I haven’t seen it mentioned yet, but legally, you can’t transmit music over ham radio either.

You can’t criticize the democrats?

Depends on the instance.

Republicans actively censor all criticism they have control over.

One of the major reasons why I like Lemmy is the multitude of options available for dealing with “Republican” moderators of all political bents.

Do you understand the difference between “Democracy” and “Populism”?

Democracy is the idea that political authority is conveyed through the consent of the people.

Populism is the idea that political authority is conveyed by the will of the majority.

When 90 people want to kill off 10, Democracy says that those 10 people are part of the source of political power. Their deaths are out of bounds for the rest of the populace to even consider.

Populism says that the 90 are free to call for the destruction of the 10.

Societal endorsement of voluntary euthanasia promotes a perverse, populistic viewpoint, as opposed to our democratic ideology.

Populism is two wolves and a sheep voting on dinner. Democracy is whatever keeps the sheep off that particular ballot.

I have no problem with medically-assisted suicide to prevent pain and suffering in cases of terminal illness. I have no moral or ethical problems with suicide in general (although society’s position should be to intervene and prevent suicide where we reasonably can.) My issue is in giving society the authority to ask its members to kill themselves.

No. You’d create perverse incentives where people would be shunned by society for refusing to kill themselves.

Instead, we eliminate work-as-a-necessity by meeting everyone’s “needs” and transform society to work-as-a-luxury: Employment isn’t for meeting our essential survival needs, but for our social wants.

As for the “apartment”: We have sufficient quantity of vacant housing that every homeless person in the country could be housed today, and even if there weren’t, it would be easy to build. What’s lacking is the motivation to do it.

FRS and GMRS have similar restrictions on encoding, and also limits or prohibitions on digital/data modes.

Ignorance of the law is not an excuse, but compliance with the letter while violating the “spirit” is generally acceptable.

The restriction is against encoding for purposes of obscuring meaning. You can use encryption for things like authentication or controlling remote equipment.

“Rattlegram” seems to be similar to the AFSK systems used for Packet Radio, APRS, etc. You might look into those methods before implementing your own.

Assuming Rattlegram encoding can fit within the audio bandwidth (which might not be the case on the narrower, longer-range ham bands) you should be able to use Rattlegram to send ordinary text messages. However, you would be allowed to use SSE to send authentication and control messages.

You could only use this approach on frequencies allocated for digital modes.

This is something we can all agree on, including Mr. President. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/10/us/politics/donald-trump-hillary-clinton.html

To unlock your car you need the radio transmission to reach the car.

Correct. So, I build a receiver to pick up the signal from your fob, and then I re-transmit that same signal to your car.

It’s slightly more complicated than that. But not by as much as you’d think.

Setting records.

I think he should try to beat Harrison’s.

I found this: https://bluewallet.io/watch-only/

Since it doesn’t use the wallet’s private address, you should be able to use any public address, and not just an address for your own wallet.

Point of order: “Americans” aren’t talking about taking over Greenland. “Semi-sentient Cheetos” are talking about taking over Greenland.

Ah, a Greenlander. Greenlandian? Verdant-American?
