AX.25 is a data link layer protocol widely used in amateur radio for packet radio communications. Developed in the 1970s by the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), AX.25 is designed for use over radio frequencies and provides a way for users to exchange data packets in a robust and efficient manner. Key features of AX.25 include: 1. **Packet Switching**: AX.

Michael Slote is an American philosopher known for his contributions to moral philosophy, particularly in the area of ethical theory. He has worked extensively on topics such as virtue ethics, sentimentalism, and the philosophy of emotions. Slote is also recognized for advocating a form of altruism that emphasizes empathic concern and emotional engagement in moral decision-making. He is associated with a contemporary approach to ethics that contrasts with more traditional, deontological and consequentialist theories.

The project's mission is one of, or perhaps the most important, life objective of Ciro Santilli. Reproductive goals aside. These two types of goal are incommensurable. This is one of the great challenges of life.

This is ongoing project.

Ciro's goals in advertising this half done project are is partly to obtain some feedback, and partly to give the idea to someone else who might help push it further, be it in this stack or not.

Better editing support is a must, likely WYSIWYG.

But besides that, it is already in broad strokes the best approach Ciro Santilli can come up with to try and reach the mission statement only with technical advances, i.e. without large amounts of money or political influence which Ciro Santilli does not have.

Maybe that website isn't enough of a technical advance to reach its mission. Maybe there is some further not yet imagined technical insight that would push it into viability. Maybe not. But one must try. Only God can know the answer to these questions.

As of 2022, Ciro has spent about 2.5 years full time working on this project. First he spent about 1 year in 2014 on the first iteration: github.com/booktree/booktree, a GitLab fork, but then decided it was not the way to go.

Then around 2021 he put in some more 1.5 year of full time work, now with a possibly overly complicated (or perhaps just insane/immature) Next.js/Sequelize from scratch website stack.

It makes Ciro a bit ashamed to see that "so little user visible stuff was achieved in so much time". It is partly because he and many people underestimate the difficulty of web development. Perhaps there were some bad stack/useless feature choices issues. And a good dose of indulging in studying the natural sciences to bootstrap content and have fun. But really trying is the only way to learn.

Sri Lanka primarily uses the metric system for most measurements, which is consistent with international standards. However, there are some traditional units of measurement that are still used in certain contexts, particularly in agriculture and land measurement. Some of these traditional units include: 1. **Acre** - A common unit for measuring land area. 2. **Perch** - A traditional unit of area, where 1 acre is equivalent to 160 perches.

Hrī is a term in Buddhism that refers to a concept often translated as "moral shame" or "conscience." It is considered a virtuous quality that prompts individuals to be mindful of their actions and their moral implications. In many Buddhist teachings, hrī encourages practitioners to reflect on their behavior, fostering a sense of responsibility and ethical awareness.

Obedience in human behavior refers to the act of following commands or instructions from an authority figure. It involves conforming to the directives or rules set by someone perceived to have power, leadership, or control. This behavior can be influenced by various factors, including social norms, cultural expectations, situational contexts, and individual psychological traits.

SM EVM, or Subtle Money Ethereum Virtual Machine, is a variant of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) tailored for specific use cases, particularly in the context of the Subtle Money ecosystem or other projects looking to enhance the functionalities of the standard EVM. The EVM is the runtime environment for executing smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain and provides the necessary infrastructure for developers to build decentralized applications (DApps).

ATM stands for Asynchronous Transfer Mode, which is a network technology based on the switching of data packets called cells. Each cell is a fixed size of 53 bytes, consisting of a 5-byte header and a 48-byte payload. ATM was designed to support a wide variety of traffic types, including voice, video, and data, enabling a high-quality transmission over both LAN and WAN networks.

Katherine Johnson (1918–2020) was an African American mathematician and physicist whose work was crucial to the success of the United States' early space program. She made significant contributions to the calculations for NASA's Project Mercury and the Apollo missions, including the trajectory analysis for John Glenn's first American orbital flight in 1962. Johnson's work went largely unrecognized for many years due to both the prevailing racial and gender biases of her time.

A tape library is a storage system used to manage and organize magnetic tapes—media that stores data. Tape libraries are typically employed for data backup, archiving, and long-term storage in various computing environments, including data centers and enterprise IT infrastructures. Key features of tape libraries include: 1. **Automation**: Tape libraries often include robotic mechanisms to automatically load and unload tapes into drives, improving the efficiency and speed of accessing data.

"The World Is Curved" is a book written by the economist and commentator David Stockman, published in 2013. In this work, Stockman critiques the prevailing economic and political systems, particularly focusing on the impacts of fiscal policy, government intervention, and the consequences of monetary policy. He discusses the complexities and challenges of the global economy, emphasizing how these factors can create distortions and cyclical crises.

Linux.Wifatch is a type of malware that was discovered in late 2014. It specifically targets Internet of Things (IoT) devices, such as routers and networked cameras, particularly those that run on the Linux operating system. Wifatch is notable for being distinct from typical malware in that it does not primarily aim to steal information or cause damage.

The unit "Ge" typically refers to "giga-electronvolt," which is a unit of energy commonly used in particle physics and nuclear physics. One giga-electronvolt is equivalent to \(10^9\) electronvolts (eV). The electronvolt itself is a small unit of energy, defined as the amount of kinetic energy gained by an electron when it is accelerated through an electric potential difference of one volt.

A call center is a centralized office or facility that is designed to manage a large volume of telephone calls, typically for the purpose of providing customer service, support, telemarketing, or sales. Call centers employ agents who handle incoming and outgoing calls to assist customers with inquiries, complaints, orders, or other requests. There are two main types of call centers: 1. **Inbound Call Centers**: These handle incoming calls from customers. The main focus is on customer service, support, and assistance.

Natural predictive dialing is a sophisticated technology used in call centers that optimizes the process of making outbound calls. It combines elements of predictive dialing with advanced algorithms that adapt to real-time conditions in order to enhance efficiency and improve the customer experience. Here’s how natural predictive dialing works and its key features: 1. **Predictive Dialing**: Traditional predictive dialing systems automatically dial multiple phone numbers at once, predicting when a call center agent will be available to take the next call.

Direct insolation refers to the amount of solar radiation received on a surface from the sun, without any scattering or reflection by the atmosphere or surrounding objects. It is an important parameter in fields such as solar energy, meteorology, and climate studies, as it directly impacts the amount of energy available for solar panels and influences local temperature and weather patterns.
