Author is probably Australian, I would use the same words.

Just checked linkedIn, yep they are from NSW.

How did you manage meaningful attitude control with only torque rods? They would need to big (read: heavy) to be useful — was this just stabilising in inertial frame or active pointing? Mag dipoles in chassis and components tend to lock tumbling satellites into the Earth’s magnetic field. Did you see this? Or did you see atmospheric drag dominate at this altitude?

If you’ve read the book, they stressed many times that this was irrelevant to the model and also probably untrue

Hmmm.

> the listening circuit must also be tuned to resonate at the expected frequency of proton precession, which will depend on Earth’s magnetic field at your location

> the frequency of these tones matches the magnetic field at my location to about 1 percent

I don’t doubt the physics, but I’m not sure about the experiment design. Being able to hear the correct frequency may just mean you’ve built an oscillator and tuned it.

Somebody wrote a tool for pushing Apple airplay to chromecast [1]. There might be a way to push arbitrary streams?

Sorry for snooping—if this is about Foxtel, they were also sold to a UK company this year right?

I guess you’d expect some staff turnover, but not mass layoffs.

Honestly par for the course for human treatment of chickens. See chick culling [1]. Billions of baby chicks are macerated live because they are not commercially useful.

> Worldwide: As of 2015, approximately 7 billion male chicks were culled annually around the world
