I tolerated being forced refills by the autofill system - despite repeated efforts to discontinue through website and pharmacy staff - for several years because you were the closest pharmacy to my house. You trained me to not feel bad refusing a prescription I didn't order and didn't need through repeatedly filling unneeded scripts despite my best efforts. No wonder the pharmacy staff is always overworked, restocking all these refused orders!

That wasn't the final straw. The FINAL straw was this new voicemail queueing system. You mean to tell me that my time, as a patient, has no value to you? If I am calling the pharmacy, it is because I need to talk to someone. I've been trained over the

I was reading a year-old Science News article that sparked a couple questions that will probably showcase my ignorance of the maths and theory, but we all know Reddit is a great place to crowdsource expertise, so....

"Most recently a new approach suggests that the geometry of spacetime, the source of gravity in Einstein's theory, may in some way be built from the entanglement of quantum entities." T. Siegfried, "Uncertainty reigns." Science News. 15 January 2022.

So let me connect a few perhaps-unrelated dots:

• Converting analog to digital is a process of quantizing a signal with x samples over y time.
• Converting digital to analog is a process of integrating x samples over y time.
• Th

ConnectWise,

After years of being your "partner," an independent consultant upon your products, and what used to be a motivated force for change in the community, I am now giving up and putting my frustrations to the court of public opinion.

I have no complaints about Control; the worst thing you did was change its name to something that may have elevated SEO results but made it less convenient to find information about the product itself. This is unpleasant but forgivable.

Manage? Manage is still a very sticky product. Once someone has integrated their entire business around its tentacles (or perhaps vice versa), it is an excessively big ask and an invested endeavor to switch. It is for

We live in an interesting age of technology. Big Data, public clouds, Raspberry Pis, and USB-driven SDRS...

1. Would it be technically feasible to replace the receive capabilities of the lost-to-maintenance-forevermore Arecibo observatory with a large network of GPS-located-and-timesynced SDRs, dumping observations to the public cloud and being processed as an n-unit phased array?
2. If technically feasible, what would it take to make it economically feasible? Perhaps a daughterboard for a Pi with SDR, GPS, high-quality oscillator, etc.?
3. If the distributed array of receivers could be proof-of-concepted, what would it take to roll out distributed transmit capabilities?

Chase Bank is in the top 15 wealthiest organizations in the world by market cap, and apparently they still hire underqualified talent for their IT department:

• Repeated login errors due to 404s from their content delivery network
• Repeated login errors due to only outdated SSL/TLS protocols on at least _some_ CDN servers
• Repeated login errors on mobile app for various reasons
