TAPR [1] is a ham radio club that has a focus on digital stuff, it’s fantastically interesting geekery and should appeal to the HN crowd. The monthly newsletter, the Packet Status Register [2] is a great read, with projects typically involving radio, electronics, software and mechanicals. The TAPR Digital Communications Conference (virtual this year) is in just a few weeks [3].

It’s one of the few Amateur Radio clubs I know that has a Github repo [4]

Why won't 350 million American citizens do something about their own government first, before engaging in moral grandstanding in respect to other countries? No, this doesn't mean just getting rid of Trump - the entire political spectrum is complicit in millions of deaths every decade.

US calls itself a "Democracy", so you're supposed to be more empowered to make a change than an average Chinese citizen.

The Self-Attribution Fallacy https://archive.is/VCuFO
Some of the growth is due to the rise of drone communications. In drone racing you are supposed to have a HAM license to operate your video transmitter on certain frequencies and powers. I'd bet a good chunk of the growth is from that.
US based tech companies are making those decisions for the whole internet because internet users are voting for US based tech companies' influence with their time, attention, and clicks. It's open and democratic.

No - there doesn't have to be. As long as there are no barriers or other instructions which restrict memory ordering relative to particular instructions in the dynamic instruction stream, it doesn't matter what the actual interleaving is between different cores as long as there is a given execution order which is valid for the observable side effects.
I'd much prefer zero corporate tax, reverting to a passthrough taxation model, with capital gains and dividends taxed as income. The corporate tax, being a profit tax, inherently has infinite forms of tax avoidance because expenses must be accounted for and expenses can be creatively structured to avoid paying taxes.
Personal income taxes do not have that inherent susceptibility to avoidance.

Perhaps more importantly, corporations effectively form "unions" for wealthy people, which are an effective unit for lobbying. Jeff Bezos, for example, only owns something like 15% of Amazon...but he gets to use 100% of Amazon's resources to lobby the government and try to sell government representatives on the idea that what's good for Jeff is also good for Amazon's employees and the American public. Shift those taxes to personal income, and all of a sudden that sales pitch becomes a lot less convincing.

Mine has long history. I had to hack the BIOS to get LTE working because original BIOS does not support any LTE cards and have already disassembled it completely to the last part twice after I got it wet. Once with hot, sweet latte and once completely drenched with sparkling water.

I had no tools to open the laptop and power button stopped working so it was not possible to go to bios and disconnect power (the internal battery is always on). I had to stand it on its side like an open wet book to let the water drain and then went shopping for tools. The end was that I had to disassemble EVERYTHING including LCD panel where it had water between individual leaves. I never knew that panel has so many layers.

Anyway, it still lives on. I curse it about once a week for being so tough preventing me from buying newer, better machine:)
Couler: Unified Interface for Constructing and Managing Workflows
We just open sourced Couler (https://github.com/couler-proj/couler), aiming to provide a unified interface for constructing and managing workflows on different workflow engines, with simplicity, extensibility, reusability, and efficiency in mind.

Couler provides the following:

- Simplicity: Unified interface and imperative programming style for defining workflows with automatic construction of directed acyclic graph (DAG).
- Extensibility: Extensible to support various workflow engines such as Argo Workflows, Tekton Pipeline, and Apache Airflow.
- Reusability: Reusable steps for tasks such as distributed training of machine learning models.
- Efficiency: Automatic workflow and resource optimizations under the hood.

Initial support for Argo Workflows has been added and please stay tuned for more updates on other features we are gradually open sourcing! We will share the design soon and would love to see your feedback!
Is Cyberpunk Dead? A Conversation with Bruce Bethke
The $100/year pricing makes me think of the discussions about making email a paid service to fight spam (a single message would cost a fraction of a penny, so "normal" users would pay a cent or two a year while spammers would pay tens of thousands). It's both good and bad; it means there are a few roadblocks to distributing an extension (nefarious or not), but it's also not such a huge roadblock that a bad actor can't work around it.
> No modern laptop in the current price range can beat it.

> I'm also super interested to try out the new ARM-based Macbooks

I’m having a hard time choosing between an old Thinkpad and the Pinebook Pro for a GNU/Linux laptop. Thinkpads have a better battle-tested durability + repairability reputation and Libreboot is a significant selling point to me. But x86 seems like it’s just beginning to fade into the past in favor of source-available ARM in the present and open-source RISC V in the future, and the Pinebook isn’t exactly terribly flimsy (magnesium-alloy outer shell, maybe inspired by Thinkpads) or expensive ($200).
Whatever it takes to keep those key congresspeople happy, I guess.
I have several thinkpads (5) and run them all on Linux. Agree that the battery life is not optimal, even with TLP. Keyboards are typically excellent, but the brand of the keyboard can matter a lot (there are usually 2-3 different manufacturers of Thinkpad keyboards and they don't feel the same). Maintaining Thinkpads is usually a pure joy: super easy to open up, easy to replace RAM, sometimes CPU (depending on the model) and storage. And they are robust (will survive a fall).

Software wise, apart from some rare exceptions (X1 Gen 7?) everything works out of the box on most distros.

Depends on the book. I read a lot, and if I am trying a new author out or a book I am not sure of, a hardback at £20 is a bit of a risk compared to kindle 99p perhaps.

I genuinely want to support local businesses, and I make the effort to buy local from Waterstones whenever possible. But it's not always feasible with the amount I buy. I have many thousands of books, including those on Kindle. I don't have physical space for them otherwise.
This is a big problem in the UK too.

The club I started in had a less pronounced issue, but we also went to the pub after the main meet, and there was a secondary, technical only night run by members of the club.

This made it a bit more welcoming and and less off putting to 20 year old me, but the local club up here meet once a week and it's a tight clique.

I don't even want to try to break in to it! That said, it's not a bad thing that clubs exist to serve their members if that's what they want to do, we'll just make our own, hopefully more friendly club run by guys in their 30s!

I have been getting financial emails from several people for many years at my GMail ID. They apparently have given my address but without the dot.

But what mystifies me is how these people keep going for years without ever realising they aren't getting account transaction emails (from their banks), notifications of stock trades, even OTP emails etc. How is it possible for people to use these services for years without ever wondering why they aren't getting the routine emails they're supposed to get or even why they aren't getting the OTP email they had generated?

Also none of the institutions I contacted to ask their clients to update their correct email bothered to do so. On the contrary they sent me back what looked like automated replies asking if their customer service was satisfactory.

At this point I'm sorely tempted to delete my email and start over with another service provider. The nuisance of having to delete almost a dozen emails not meant for you every single day is annoying to say the least. At least with spam you get it sent to spam folder and there it stays. Confidential emails not meant for you is awkward and uncomfortable to have to put up with.

I use a Barnes & Noble e-ink Nook (Kindle competitor) to run AnkiDroid [1][2]. I have tried to use some note-taking Android apps on the device, but they all had horrible feedback due to the very slow CPU and very limited memory of the device.

Is it possible to run either an Android app (AnkiDroid) or a Qt/Python Linux application (Anki) on the ReMarkable 2? If so, I would happily buy such a device.

>1st, due to methane releases of decaying plant matter in the flood zones depending on what is flooded Hydro can actually produce over double the emissions of the worst coal plants, annually. For example the Curuá-Una dam in Pará, Brazil, has produced three-and-a-half times more emissions than an equivalent generating plant running on oil.

Thanks for the info, I had no idea. Is this a long term effect where reservoirs will continue to emit CO2 into the long term future, or is it just a one-off cost to transforming land into a lake? If it is just a temporary source of CO2, how long does it take for the emissions to peter out and at what point will the hydroelectric dam become even with coal in terms of emissions?

CO2 Absorber Units
Demineralized Water and CO2 Gas Relation
Producing demineralized water is a very costly and special process. The produced demineralized or ultra pure waters are in contact with air entering the tank from the vent line due to the change of the water level in the tanks where they are stored.

When they come into contact with air, the CO2 gas in it dissolves and becomes ion in water. CO2, which is removed from the content in the production of demineralized water, is dissolved again in the water by air contact. It cause the pH parameter to fluctuate. This may cause demineralized water to fail to meet desired quality requirements.

On average, there is more than 400 ppm of carbon dioxide in the air. If your demineralized or pure water tank is atmospheric, it is quite natural that CO2 will affect pH and conductivity values.

CO2 Absorber Units allow you to maintain the pH and conductivity values of your demineralized water stored. It can be mounted on storage tanks, it can also be placed on the ground by pipeline if desired. The highly efficient and long-lasting filtration media in the absorber unit prevents CO2 from coming into contact by holding the CO2 gas in the air entering the tank. Since this filtration media is also equipped with a color indicator, when it reaches the maximum amount of CO2 it can absorb, the color of the media changes and the filter cartridges are replaced. The air inlet and outlet of the unit are safely provided with pressure and vacuum safety valves, differential pressure sensors / switches. Dust particles that can come from outside are also captured with filters, thus preventing organic pollution that may occur in the tank.

Sizing and design of the CO2 Absorber Units are made by examining the operating data of the storage tanks, so that unnecessary costs are prevented with the units manufactured for each facility.

There is one estimate at 1 million, one estimate at 400 thousand, and multiple estimates at 100 thousand.

The 1 million estimate seems to be a major outlier. Yes 100 thousand is still very terrible, but that's probably a more accurate number.

Constructive Open Source Citizenship Produces Results
Frankly I think this argument has been wrong IMO.

Let’s take Dell for example. There is nothing stopping them from investing in the touchpad controller and designing it themselves if they want full control. And the OS level work is in the driver which is basically controlled by Dell themselves.

Originally Windows treated all touch pads as USB mice, at which point it was understandable that they couldn’t make their touch pads better. However, now Windows has an excellent and full fledged API that allows far more control, equivalent to what Macs can do. Further, if Dell wanted changes to Windows to improve their touchpad I hardly doubt MS would resist.

Personally, I suspect the real reason touchpad haven’t improved in the Windows world is that the vast majority of windows laptops are used for work and business, so they are either docked, or they have mice plugged in and their customers are happy using it that way.
Kazakh, Kyrgyz and Hui Muslims in Xinjiang are subject to the same policies; the thing they have in common with Uyghur Muslims is that they're, well, Muslim, and that Kazakh and Kyrgyz speak Turkic languages.

Meanwhile, the Chairman of Xinjiang is Shohrat Zakir, an Uyghur politician and (of course) Communist Party member. Being non-religious or anti-religious is a good way for Uyghurs to make career in service of the Chinese state.

I also doubt that Uyghurs are somehow more independent from Chinese rule than other people in China, especially with respect to history, considering the supporting role of Uyghur troops in the genocide of Dzungars (who used to live in modern Xinjiang) by the Chinese Qing army.

I think this is one of the big advantages of amateur radio. No need for the infrastructure of the internet...it's just you with some TX/RX equipment, power, and someone else with the same. No ISPs, governments, servers, software, etc... getting in the way.
I think that argument has become the default claim for whenever Apple does something well, even when it doesn't make any sense. It particularly doesn't make sense in this case because we're talking about Linux, where anybody can make any changes they like to not only the drivers but the entire operating system. OEMs already commonly have their own distributions.

Apple have a good trackpad because they developed a good trackpad. There is nothing really stopping anyone else from doing the same, whether or not they actually have.
Yes, because we should all listen to and trust John Bolton, one of the worst war criminals of the 21st century.

I love the new technologies allowing what once was considered impossible, like long range bidirectional data links using milliwatts, however keep in mind that most of those ready made modules use closed sources protocols, and it's very hard if not impossible replicating their functionality using non proprietary parts. Does it mean they're of inferior quality compared to open source solutions? Absolutely not, but if the manufacturer decides to push another technology, all your beloved swarm of data transceivers sending sensor data back and forth becomes instantly obsolete.

Also, give youngsters some access to old tech as well. I don't have a ham license, but by experience could possibly repair a damaged analog radio after an accident, then send a distress SOS call by using a screwdriver to close two contacts. It's forgotten practice, still there's one probability over a billion times that it could turn out useful.

> This project was supported by the Open Technology Fund, the Pulitzer Center, and the Eyebeam Center for the Future of Journalism.

Hmmm

> The Open Technology Fund was created in 2012 as a pilot program within Radio Free Asia.

Okay

> Based on Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Radio Free Asia was established in the 1990s with the stated aim of promoting democratic values and human rights, and diminishing the Communist Party of China.

> Radio Free Asia was founded and funded in the 1950s by an organization called "Committee for Free Asia" as an anti-communist propaganda operation, broadcasting from RCA facilities in Manila, Philippines.

So an article funded by a clearly biased anti-China propaganda organization that uses flimsy satellite imagery evidence to accuse a country of massive human rights abuses in order to rile up their population for another cold war that will feed their military industrial complex for many more decades. Great.
