ghost91··on Taking the Raspberry Pi 2 for a Test Drive with GNU Radio
This hack is awesome, thank you for the link. So many new possibilities… And cheaper than other mim̶o̶ setups.

Nope, they just decode the content of the ADS-B messages.

The problem are the RTL2832U receivers. The sample rate is too low, 500ns resolution with 2MSample/s is not enough. For this reason I cannot recommend using the dvb-t sticks as ads-b receiver (the symbol rate is too high, compare nynquist theorem).

Multilateration has already be done for ADS-B on large scale, but with different receivers. There are receivers available[1] with nanosecond accuracy (and gps time synchronization).

GPS synchronization isn't needed, by choosing other flight paths to provide basic time synchronization between receivers.

ghost91··on Learn Python the Hard Way
Nearly all packages are ported to python3. There are still some bigger projects missing, but these are exceptions and not the norm.

Python3 simplifies many aspects of the language, for example handling of bytes and handling different encodings. In my day to day use I don't want to miss these features.

Many interesting features where added in 3, like yield from, more powerful generator syntax and the libraries multiprocessing and pathlib.

Quite nice.

But you should seriously improve your registration field, I could register with an one character long password.

I'm from germany, but I'm not sure if I would elect them.

In last months there were so many chances for them, but they missed every one.

For example they organised demonstrations against ACTA, but I never heard anything directly from the pirate party.
