Not that I can see. According to TN Code 55-8-199 (a) (3): (3) "Wireless telecommunications device" means a cellular telephone, a portable telephone, a text-messaging device, a personal digital assistant, a stand-alone computer, a global positioning system receiver, or substantially similar portable wireless device that is used to initiate or receive communication, information, or data. "Wireless telecommunications device" does not include a radio, citizens band radio, citizens band radio hybrid, commercial two-way radio communication device or its functional equivalent, subscription-based emergency communication device, prescribed medical device, amateur or ham radio device, or in-vehicle security, navigation, autonomous technology, or remote diagnostics system Ham radio transceivers don't count as a "Wireless telecommunications device", for the purposes of the ban.

A $2 holder probably won't be that stable. I prefer using Arkon's phone holders. It'll cost you more like $20-$30, but it's worth it.

Most states with hands-free laws exempt ham radio operators, so you shouldn't get dinged for using the microphone while driving.

If you can be sure that anything copyrighted within your lifetime will not expire until after you die, then for practical purposes, that is no longer "limited time".

If I go to DALL-E, and enter 'amateur radio operators operating field day', what I get back looks an awful lot like photos from actual Field Day operations. Makes me wonder how much they've really changed from the originals it was trained with.

And that pretty well makes it unfalsifiable, which casts doubt on it as science.

How self-righteousness dominates=4 modern politics and public discourse (on both sides), and how self-righteousness will turn you into a monster, even if you're right.

Yeah, I've found Informed Delivery handy, particularly when watching out for a particular letter. Also, it's occasionally handy for adding a bit more debugging data for delivery snags. E.g., I live at 999 E Bargle-bargle Lane, and regularly find mail destined for 999 W Bargle-bargle Lane in my mailbox. The fact that it also shows up in my Informed Delivery emailing tells me that the problem is with USPS routing software, not with my local mailbeing. The misrouted mails generally appear to have WEST spelled out, so that may be relevant to the glitch. There seems to be no way to communicate this to whoever maintains the routing software, but I've told enough of my local mailbeings about it that they sometimes catch it and locally reroute. I get the impression that the USPS has no way for local mailbeings to communicate such routing bugs upward, though. One other nifty feature is that packages sent to me generally show up in the package side of the ID page, even if the sender didn't pay for a tracking number. I've seen the occasional "mailpiece for which we don't currently have an image", but I've noticed that they usually seem to be things like magazines. Local flyers, coupons, etc, though, never show up in ID, only first-class mail and packages.

As other people on here have noted, Jamie Dupree is known as an incredibly principled and balanced reporter. You might duplicate the sound of his voice with this technology, but using it to impersonate him would require impersonating his principles and balanced - and is someone wanting to use his voice for bad purposes would likely find that difficult. Those who have long known his reporting would spot this even if the voice did sound like him.

The comments on how the public perceives what you do reminds me of the SEA vs PKARC lawsuit back in the day. They ended up settling, and the settlement meant that SEA essential won, legally,but the online chatter about the suit, and people's perceptions about what SEA was attempting to do (IIRC, SEA's attempt to claim proprietary ownership of ARC file formats and (particularly galling) the .ARC extension did not go over well) meant that SEA went from having a defacto monopoly to being an also-ran fairly quickly. The settlement required that PKware come up with their own formats, and they did. As soon as PKZip was considered stable, pretty much the whole online community switched from ARC to Zip formats overnight.

PKware, in light of the community's reaction, didn't make proprietary claims about their format, which eventually made it possible for zip format to be public, and available in free (as in speech) versions.

Let's Encrypt's root certificate is signed by IdenTrustâ(TM)s DST Root X3 certificate, which should already be installed.

so we can put ebooks in libraries

Ebooks are already in libraries. The county library here makes ebooks available via Overdrive. I take out ebooks all the time. And Overdrive appears to be fairly widely used.

Exactly. Politics and public discourse nowadays runs heavily on bolstering one's own sense of self-righteousness. I, and the group I associate with, are entirely righteous, and those who disagree with us are entirely evil, or at least stupid.

So, is Hangouts on air different from the Hangouts app on Android? Or will the functionality of the Hangouts app shut down on Sep 12?
