cmason··on Spintronics: Build Mechanical Circuits
I'm wondering if you'd be willing to expand on why you chose this mechanical, spinning metaphor for electronics vs some other metaphor?

Most of the popular electronics books I've seen use a water or fluid metaphor to describe how components work (eg the fantastic Practical Electronics for Inventors).

Not at all intending to be critical with my question, just curious.

As a non-electrical engineer who dabbles in electronics, I'm excited for your work to help others learn and happy I can back it!

cmason··on Starlink is now Accepting General Pre-orders
I’d be really interested to know how much motion the current terminal can tolerate? Does it lock at the slightest vibration or only if moving at vehicle speed?

I’m thinking about putting it on a boat at anchor or at a dock.

Thanks

cmason··on Working Off-Grid Efficiently
Where/how do you fit ~2000W of solar on your boat? That’s impressive.
cmason··on An Uncommon Cold
I knew that bats are often the source of zoonotic viral transmission, but not why bats are such persistent and effective reservoirs of virus. This article (and the linked review) does a pretty good job of explaining why: that bats more finely modulate their immune response and thus “tolerate” viral infection over long periods. The article then speculates that various environmental stressors reduce immunity and induce heightened viral shedding, ultimately leading to spillover.

Long but an interesting read

cmason··on Smoke has caused temperature forecasts to go crazy
In my experience these have been completely wrong recently for my neck of the woods (PDX) even at 6-12 hours. Cliff explains in one of his posts that this is because of not modeling the inversion. I’m having better luck with the Copernicus CAMS forecast in Windy
