So internet access and devices to access it are free now? Or at least as affordable as the one-time purchase of a radio?

I don’t think a lot of people in NYC are listening to internet radio in their cars. I would wonder how many people in the audience know that internet radio is a thing. Also, there’s the hurdle of being able to afford monthly internet, and having something that can access it.

Yes, there’s licensing, and yes we don’t want unexpected interference. But also, the spectrum is a publicly owned thing, and if no more licenses are available because corporations have bought all of a very limited stock, what is the solution there? Internet is not accessible in the same way radio is.

Needed repairs and renovations.

When I was that age, my days mostly consisted of getting friends together, looking for places that are hard to get to, and going there. We pretty much took over all the abandoned train tracks in Queens.

Thankfully it was bought by an American, not a foreign company.

Door handles sounds much more easier to use..

Both things are true:

• Regulating the airwaves is important

• Licenses need to be easier and less expensive to acquire

So… why don’t you read the article?

Escape from Staten Island unsuccessful

It had an NYPD badge on the windshield

I highly recommend everyone listen to the 911 call linked to this article. It's the most Staten Island no-nonsense conversation I've ever heard. These kids are unphased and the operator is annoyed bordering on amused.

But for the audience, the internet costs money they might not have. Maybe theyre serving a community stuck with heart radio because they lack income and cant afford to go over their data plan if they even have a data plan let alone a subscription. Radio is free. Its kind of weird to assume theyre pirating radio for the prestige.

Pretty sure if the vehicles locked they can’t be unplugged, and if not there’s adapters that would make that the case.

The mole people didn't take kindly to the kids invading their home

It's all fun and games until someone unplugs them all

Yup! Cooper Union, and it’s quite lucrative (if I’m remembering correctly)

Great bones. Bring your architect!

Which is nuts, didn’t they just do a decade of work on it?

>Article doesn’t even mention why they went into the sewer. Just curious for the reason.

Have you ever met a 12 year old boy? Why would you even ask why they did a reckless thing.

It was co-owned by a bunch of people and there was a dispute between them, so an auction was ordered by the courts.

The fcc should be the ones cracking down on bots and open ai, and they could be working on that, or spam, or hackers, if they wanted to, and no one made them choose this use of resources. And yes, I know they don't have regulatory power over most of those things but they could be working to get it if they let fucking Ecuadorians buy the license they have been asking to buy for 15 years and been told no.
