I'm sorry but I can't get past the title. "Novel" means "new in an interesting way," so it's saying a new, new antenna. That is repetitive and rendundant.

Ditto. No decent writer would put those words together.

And for those who don't understand writing and are happy with high-school-level journalism like /u/SirRockalotTDS: Part of proper stylistic writing is concision; the word "new" in the title is extraneous and, yes, redundant.

And if your headline is that poor, what kind of illiterate would continue reading? I guess we've found out!

Personal insults aside, how do you read any reddit posts at all with standards like that?

Refering to anything outside of implemented infrastructure as novel and discribing this particular example as new because it's new is completely out of the question? There is absolutely no place for that in the English lauage? So dispicable that any self respecting person wouldnt even be caught in the comment section?

Poor darling. Webster's 2nd definition is "original or striking in concept or style" doesn't use the word new! Semantic crisis that never happend is over! Now you should be able to get past the title and read the article now.

Update: I took your sage advice and read the article, only to find that the rest of it is also poorly written. It's mostly technobabble that reads like a sales brochure for potential investors.

Welcome to reddit. The forum where well written technical articles are as common as pots of gold under rainbows, titles are made up, and the points don't matter.

I can see why the tautology isn't a problem for you
