During 1911 and 1912 E.H. Armstrong was studying for the degree of Electrical Engineer at Columbia University; he was not an especially brilliant student, in fact in many of his courses he did rather poorly. The writer knows because Armstrone was on of his students. The characteristics of alternating current machinery in general, did not prove very enticing to the young student, not because he was lazy or indifferent but because he had a hobby - and a vision. He was experimenting at his home with wireless apparatus and trying to find out how the three electrode audion of De...

hicago is also being terrorized. There, professional criminals enlist migrants from the shelters to raid luxury stores at the suburban Oakbrook Center shopping mall, 20 miles west of downtown. These migrants wouldn't have a clue where Oak Brook, an upscale suburb, is, or how to get there without the criminal masterminds. South American gangs are turning suburban malls into danger zones, explains retired Riverside, Illinois, Police Chief Tom Weitzel. "You're at one of the suburban malls... pushing your kids in a stroller" and you can get caught in the violence, he said in an interview with Fox News. "A lot...

"I don’t think there is any scenario where this [isn't] a bad situation for the prosecutor. At the minimum, it will distract from the core information of the case and delay the trial," Scott Cummings, the Robert Henigson Professor of Legal Ethics at the UCLA School of Law, told ABC News.

My daughter just told me about a YouTube ad she was served that connected her to a scam website. That could imply that YouTube (and its owner Google) is coming under revenue pressure, possibly due to ChatGPT. ChatGPT has gotten much better in the past few months. I was given a demonstration Monday morning of how ChatGPT was able to write a Python script to test a fairly complex Python program that does advanced image processing. Someone in my company used the paid version of ChatGPT to write the script in just a few seconds; it would have taken him...

Tantrum City, a rage room that opened in April 2021 in North Syracuse, has closed its doors. “We will be closing our doors effective immediately due to unforeseen circumstances. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you,” Tantrum City posted on its Facebook page on Wednesday. The business was located on the corner of Taft Road and Route 11, and was previously home to ShamROCK’s Rock and Roll Irish Pub. Tantrum City provided weapons (bats, crowbars, golf clubs and sledgehammers) and items to smash, like electronics, glassware, knick-knacks and car parts to release steam and throw adult temper tantrums....

Apple’s smart watch could be banned from being imported into the United States after the federal government ruled that it violated a company’s patent, according to a report. Certain models of the Apple Watch are in violation of a patent that was issued to Masimo, a medical tech firm that created a sensory device that measures blood oxygen levels. The US International Trade Commission ruled in favor of Masimo on Thursday and determined that Apple was indeed in violation of a patent, according to The Wall Street Journal. President Joe Biden’s administration will have 60 days to decide whether to...

Authorities have not yet located a suspect or suspects responsible for a shooting at a homecoming week celebration at Morgan State University in Baltimore Tuesday that left five students wounded. The shooting prompted an hours-long lockdown of the school. Morgan State Police Chief Lance Hatcher confirmed four of the victims are students at the historically Black college. Worley, who was confirmed as police commissioner on Monday, said investigators did not know how many shooters were involved and the Baltimore Police Department has not released information about the suspect or possible suspects. The shooting happened shortly after the coronation of Mister...

Simmons said he has had no contact with Russell since learning the abduction was fake and he doubts he will ever know why she did it. “I’m confused, like what happened? What made you do this? I don’t understand,” Simmons said on the video, which is part of a podcast he and a friend have launched. “If you really wanted to tell me the truth, you could have told me. You could have told me before all this happened, before the police conference came out,” Simmons said. The two went to New York a week or so before she disappeared,...

Surprisingly good analysis of the Alissa Heinerscheid disaster at Bud Light. I've watched a couple of other videos by this guy, and IMHO he's worth listening to.

Here's the "explanation," which is near the end of the story: When a story about a possible crime sparks national attention to the extent this one did, it doesn’t happen in a vacuum. The reactions are informed not only by the facts of the case, but filtered through broader contexts that exist outside the particulars of the incident. And those responses can tell us a lot about the culture in which we live. The public concern about Russell’s case was driven in part by the understanding that Black women rarely receive the same amount of attention that white women get...

Cars were seen lining up outside Carlee Russell's Alabama home on Sunday, just a day after her 26th birthday. A dozen cars lined the driveway and around the home, and drew the attention of police in Hoover, Alabama, who drove past the home as people entered and left. Police said Russell delayed additional requests to interview her again about her supposed July 13 disappearance. Russell vanished after calling 911 to report a toddler wandering along an Alabama highway.

The owner of the Woodhouse spa in Birmingham told The Post that she’s been canned, and that her steaming co-workers are “pissed” about their former colleague’s increasingly suspect kidnapping account. Owner Stuart Rome said his staffers were stunned after hearing of Russell’s purported disappearance and did everything in their power to help bring her home.

The department was down 500 officers while facing mass retirements amid the defund movement in the wake of protests and riots in reaction to the death of George Floyd. Former Austin law enforcement members told Fox News Digital that the city’s move to end the partnership with the state has put politics in front of public safety and serves as an example of city leaders once again caving to left wing pressure rather than supporting police officers. "This has gone off the rails," Austin Police Retired Officers Association President Dennis Farris told Fox News Digital. "I think he flipped out...

Rather long video by Scott Manley, who normally blogs about things space related. This is a "rant," in which he streams his thoughts and responds to questions and comments from viewers. One interesting thing he did say that I made note of, concerning the energy released when the Titan submarine imploded. If we assume that it made it to a depth of 8000 feet, we can estimate the amount of energy that was focused on its occupants by just turning the situation around (in a sense) and calculating the amount of energy needed to clear one cubic meter of volume...
