Talk:Etheric Networks

message: Why is Etheric Networks historically important enough to merit a wikipedia entry?
Because of a number of firsts. 
1. 2003 Etheric sought to put total power in the hands of the end users - by billing based on traffic - and allowing very high burst speeds - resulting in Etheric user speed tests being the highest in the world per broadbandreports. Etheric delivered 10 megabit symmetric internet to the Bay Area affordably for the first time in its history.
2. Etheric partnered with the community to deploy Internet in one of the most hazardous deployments in WLL history, 770' up the 1500' dormant KSBW broadcast tower at Mt. Madonna.
3. Etheric was one of the founding companies of BANC - Bay Area Network Coordination, the first non governmental production frequency coordination system, and is the only remaining member that stuck to license exempt local loop service until it was mature and stable - using a lot of software components that actively monitor and mitigate 10s of thousands of parameters.
4. Etheric is an anomaly, a very small self funded company that has been able to succesfully compete with the ILEC and the cable companies. Etheric is an ISP "By geeks for geeks", overengineering every aspect of its service to be able to support any concievable customer network scenario.
5. I believe Etheric showcases why small ISPs are needed, to keep pressure on the large players to unlock all the dormant potential in their networks (fiber assets), and not to block ports, report users or eavesdrop.

message: The what???  How is this useful??? ~user:orngjce223how am I typing? 15:46, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: How is it useful? For one example, see the application to Brownian motion that is included in the article. For a more general viewpoint, consider the following problem: I know how much a stochastic process X "tends to vary" over small time steps, but I wish to know the probability that it "only varies a little bit" over a long interval of time. An estimate of this probability is provided by Doob's martingale inequality. For further discussion, I would suggest reading Øksendal (see the article), Brzezniak & Zastawniak, or Karatzas & Shreve.

:Grimmett-Stirzacker, Probability and Random Processes, section 12.6, The Maximal Inequality.
Here we see two related inequalities, for submartingales and supermartingales respectively. (They are 
not dual to each other, but are two different inequalities.) They give a proof that uses stopping times, which is shorter that the one in the Wikipedia article, but less elementary. They present several consequences, and give names to some of the inequalities.
Also
:Le Gall, Brownian Motion, Martingales, and Stochastic Calculus, Appendix 2.

The Purple Heart is also not listed amongst his awards, though the number of injuries he sustained in combat with Saburo Sakai alone would merit such an award.

Talk:Persecution of Rastafari

message: It might be hard to distinguish between persecution of real Rastafari and "poseurs". For those who have genuine religious beliefs and follow strict dogma, including (for example) an ital diet, I would expect that the degree of persecution would be somewhat less than those who "dabble" in the religion by picking and choosing only the "fun" parts such as cannabis use and reggae music. It would seem to me that these "fake" Rastas bear the brunt of persecution, and cause the faithful to be misunderstood and looked down upon. Bulbous 16:06, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm sorry, I should confine my comments to modern times. The problem as I see it is with some people who enjoy smoking cannabis and also enjoy reggae music. Knowing that they have at least that much in common with Rastafari, they self-identify as such, even though they may not have any use for the rest of the philosophy, or even know who Haile Selassie is. It is such people who earn the enmity of others, and probably rightfully so. It would be not unlike someone self-identifying to be a Mormon for the sole purpose of have multiple wives. Bulbous 00:03, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

text: Well I definitely consider myself in the category of people you are criticising. Yet I have learnt most of what I know about Rastafari through listening to reggae music's conscious lyrics while under the influence as a youth, and that is unquestionably how I learnt about HIM. Surely it is by listening to reggae while stoned that on learns about Rastafari. I wouldn't openly identify as Rasta living in a country where possession of herb, while not generally enforced, carries serious consequences, and where my reputation is critical to what I am trying to achieve, building up an off shore business, so I certainly feel unable to openly identify with Rastafari except I dont have a problem pumping out reggae music.
