I was on a flight to Los Angeles when the Captain reported that the entire Southwestern US had lost contact with air traffic control, and we diverted IIRC to Chicago. The Captain said he didn’t know what was going on, and we called someone in LA using the overpriced airplane phone to confirm that LA still existed.

The Captain handled the diversion very nicely. He said we were welcome to deplane and walk around, and that he would give us a 15 minute warning when it was time to get back on the plane. Awhile later, the announcement came over the PA, we got back on the plane, and went to LA.

AD: I authored a solution to the revocation of tokens[1] for JWT and even verified the solution through TLA+. It uses a monotonic counter as a claim per JWT, you can revoke X active sessions behind the last issued, you can also use time to do temporal permission inflating (sudo... etc).

What sort of verification have you done on your solutions? What are the down falls of your solution?

I applied and had one brief interview with someone over video. Maybe it's just me, but I think it's reasonable to expect a follow up, possibly with some feedback, after an interview. But that didn't happen. Not the end of the world for me, but a detail I think that should matter to a company that touts a strong community horn.

Yes, they did everything they claimed and they’re really sturdy, even without the rod that can be inserted in a hole in the center. The two downsides I know of are that shipping is relatively expensive (these blocks are the opposite of flat-pack..) and that the shelves can’t be placed right next to one another on the long edge. I wanted to use 2 6x48” shelves (https://www.everblocksystems.com/accessories/48-lintelshelf) as 1 12x48” and the current shelves don’t permit that. It appears to be possible but isn’t. Their team told me before I ordered. The team seems very committed.

I also recommended it for a large set of modular office walls/phone booths a few years ago. That company used it for years and was very happy.

For the right situation, I’d gladly buy it again.
RFC 8890: The Internet is for End Users
"Yes, and a lot of these folks take a "get off my lawn" approach to anything that's different to how amateur radio has been done for the last 50 years."

... which I don't find surprising and seems to fit, but what I was very surprised by was the tremendous amount of submission, and appeal, to authority that pervades HAM communities.

FCC regulations are not to be questioned. Even to discuss other, possible regulatory regimes or changes to rules is met with incredulity and sometimes outright hostility. God forbid one bring up issues of circumvention, etc.

I find it surprising because it is such a contract to the UNIX/FOSS community which places such a high cultural value on freedom and exploration of the gray areas of systems.

It's an odd cultural aspect of the HAM community ...
cmrdporcupine stated, at least once, that he didn't consider his reasons for disliking Go to be on-topic for this thread. You seem obsessed with trying to pry the reason out of him. He said he's not going to answer; let it go.

If you have to have an answer, he said he's opined on it in the past. Go trawl through his past comments. (Google search might help.)
This is insanely anecdotal and doesn't hold any scientific integrity, but:

I ate a lot of raw, sometimes fermented, vegetables and fruit. Generally high in fibre. I avoided foods I'd need to wash much because I was trying to fill my system with a diversity of bacteria. A bit of dirt was part of the goal. I ate stuff out of my garden, from a little local organic farm, foraged foods like berries and mushrooms, etc.

No idea if that's what helped, but I'm totally fine now. Whatever I did before wasn't working, or wasn't working quickly. Once I went to my mostly plant-based "dirty" diet, so to speak, the improvement was rapid. But it didn't happen in isolation, either. I also reduced my intake of animal proteins mostly, which would probably be a significant factor in digestion. Eggs would reduce the presence of sulphuric gases especially.

I'm not a believer in pro-biotics (they don't seem to support diversity, which seems essential), but I believe people should eat a lot of diverse bacteria in their foods. Things like wild mushrooms, plants grown in your yard that aren't extensively washed and peeled. Don't cook everything to death. Let some little critters into your system and let them do their thing. Assuming you don't get the particularly bad ones (usually easy to avoid if you know how the food is grown), I can't think of easier ways to introduce the diversity required to properly populate your GI tract.

Again though, I have no idea what I'm talking about. I'm just some guy who eats dirty carrots in his yard.
That's an understandable reaction but it's the wrong one.

People like that say the things they say for the attention it attracts to them. They are not ashamed of their dumbass bigoted opinions otherwise they wouldn't be transmitting halfway around the world in the clear. If you engage them in any way, even to try to shame them, you have already given them what they want. They are the trolls of amateur radio.

The right thing to do is what most of us hams do: spin the dial and find someone more pleasant to talk to.
As people begin to understand that centralization is pursued to have a central point of corruption, there becomes a push to decentralize. How many times have we seen in the last decade some regime attempting to block/constrict communication?

It's not the abuse of power that is the problem but the power to abuse.

The solution is permissionless, decentralized, alternatives.
That's really what I can't get over about this situation. They've been living in peace for generations, and that area is more prosperous than it's ever been in history.

Yet two peoples who speak the same language might go to war with each other, why? Because of a civil war over an ideology that everyone has since abandoned? Because of how maps looked a 100 years ago? Because of crimes committed by Imperial Japan against the Qing Dynasty?

Except that the permission popup is very difficult to spot and disappears if you touch anything other than it, after which it's pretty hard to find again. It also asks you to select an input device and if you pick wrong, you might have to track it down again to fix that.

On a fast and stable machine and Internet connection this is much less of an issue, but in my experience at least, that is not the norm.

They also expect everything to "just work" with a nice interface and preferably without any pesky settings or menus to mess with. I mainly deal with grad students and some of the things I need to walk faculty and students through (anything beyond clicking/tapping an icon in Windows or MacOS) can be a bit shocking.

It's not all of them, and it may not even be most of them...but it's enough that I spend a decent amount of time handling it. Of course that's part of why I get paid so I'm not really complaining--more just surprised at times.
You got it the wrong way around. If a lot of people consume a type of content, there are going to be people wanting to produce it for <money, fame, kicks, ...>.

To push the analogy to the extreme, consuming illegal pornography doesn't actually harm anyone, the production does, however the consumption drivers production, therefore the consumption does harm.

I mean are you upset that landlords get a default judgement when tenants fail to be physically present because they don't have a car, good access to public transportation, time to take off work?

In terms of access to the legal system, being able to phone it in at home or get to any public library is actually doing a lot better than the status quo where you have to take off work to appear downtown.

I took the $25 class that you can find easily, I thought it was very worthwhile! Helped me to understand exactly what you said, but with some formal structure. Some teams are mad scientists, some are pioneers, some are settlers, and some are town planners.

Some tasks are suited better for mad scientists, ... some for town planners. Some regulated environments are only suited to the type of work that town planners can do (6-sigma people, that's how it's also explained in the class.)

But the settlers won't have much to do if pioneers haven't done some heavy lifting first, and so on (thanks a lot, mad scientist,) and the town planners can't do the type of work that you need from them either, unless there have been many layers of groundwork laid before them.

Glad you enjoyed checking it out!

I love the idea of tea ceremony before a lesson. I'd hate for that culture to be lost entirely.

Ironically, the AI-Explainability problem is, at least for now, an asset. The model can't explain its strategy, only that it judges some positions stronger than others based on a huge amount of experience.

That reduction of aggregate experience to comprehensible language is still (mostly) in the realm of humans and so should provide a bridge for talented, insightful teachers to teach the next generation.

“just because a lot of people rely on the google play store doesn't mean it's a public service in the legal sense”

I think that’s precisely what’s starting to be discussed now at national levels, with investigations into Apple, Facebook and Google in the EU and the USA.

In many countries, utilities are commercial entities, but they can’t refuse to serve customers because of what they say. I can see a future where we think the same of the big players on the web: commercial, but still public utilities.

Problem of course is that many countries also fear a completely open internet. Providers already have to filter pornography, hate speech, etc. So, would we end up with commercial entities that cannot filter the content published on their platform to suit their norms, but must filter it to suit the norms of the government? If so, would that apply to all sites, including, say, Hacker News, or pro- or anti-abortus sites, or just to large ones? If so, what’s ‘large’?
If the CCP can do it —and they do it to catch all the circumventions Chinese internet users use to try to avoid censorship —which they do successfully, then we know it’s possible and if it’s possible the big players are doing it too.
I'd be in favor of this. I'm currently not in my home timezone, so would want to be able to change that. Good work though, super cool project!
Yes, the UX is raw for now; hopefully Mozilla will make it simpler to enable after a few versions of testing and confirming it doesn't cause crashes for half the linux userbase. It makes sense to do little early advertising of such a feature, and to initially hide it behind flags & env. vars only within reach of "power users", because these fresh-out-of-the-oven bits are a complex assembly with heavy crash potential, depending on your hardware and drivers up-to-date-ness. As the implementer, you want your initial users to know what they are doing, and you want to maximize the chances they're technically proficient enough to gather the mountain of gpu/driver/environment debug info you'll need for a bug report to be actionable.

In the meantime, to save you rummaging around bugzilla, follow https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Firefox#Hardware_video_... , it's the most constantly {up-to-date, concise, reliable} source you'll find. You don't have to be using Arch, the information contained in this section applies to any Linux/Firefox distro.

Note that Firefox isn't the only browser to struggle with it; see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Chromium#Hardware_video... for the similarly non-obvious instructions in Chromium (and by the way, currently it's plain impossible in Chrome).

Props to Martin Stransky from RedHat who implemented this for both Wayland and Xorg during the last months.

It is not politicizing to point out that these are different viruses that cause different diseases.

Quite a lot of people do not understand the extent of the differences, in part because of repeated comparisons to the flu from earlier in the pandemic--comparisons which we now know were based on incomplete early impressions of the new disease.

Yes there is significant overlap in symptoms--hence the early comparisons. There are also significant differences.

Are these differences enough to produce complications worse than the flu? There's not enough evidence yet to know. I'm not saying "we're sure COVID-19 will have worse complications than the flu." I'm saying we don't know either way, so it's irresponsible to cite flu studies to imply we're sure there won't be worse complications than the flu.
This is not what I meant XD You want roads in real life that are straight to look straight on a map. Actually, most global map projections do not meet this simple requirement. For an extreme case, think of how compressed everything is at the top of Lambert's map.

Very long roads are not truly straight because they follow the curvature of the earth, but I was not referring to those. In any case, you're more likely to notice winding around local topology and local elevation changes on long road trips.

Also see roywiggins answer :)
it should be possible - you can check how it is rendered on mobile portrait and landscape modes (which is basically fullscreen).
However, more intricate sizing might be hard to achieve since I 'm using pixel values so some things will probably look terrible in higher res. (this isn't the same as upscaling res let's say in canvas or webgl - it would be more like viewing an old website in a newer bigger monitor! But in theory it can be improved :) )

No but the kindle I picked up for $30 can and, from the sounds of it, better. Is the ReMarkable $540 better than a kindle and a notebook?

If I really need to annotate PDFs, is the ReMarkable really $600 better than the tablets they're literally giving away for free these days?

If I really need to run arbitrary software on something that I can also use to read and annotate PDFs, is the ReMarkable really competitive against an entire Core i5 laptop with a touchscreen and stylus?

Yes, the ReMarkable has a one of a kind writing experience. I'm not arguing it's not better in certain aspects than the alternatives. But the premium here seems absolutely nuts.
Nevermind, just reread your comment and see what you mean now. But yes, at least making it explicit should clear up the confusion! :)

How to Build a State
> Are they? What if they get banned from there? What if they can't collect money from their community, because all the donation sites ban them? What if their donation sites are killed because all the payment processors drop them? Your argument leads to the logical end of "they're welcome to make their own internet".

This is slippery-slope nonsense, just where this conversation always ends up. You can "what if..." you're way to us banning these individuals from driving cars if you want, but it's not what's being discussed.

I am very, very, very in favor of reddit disallowing hate speech on their community as that is an active behavior on the site itself for a community they own. I am very, very, very against any organization barring access to things like domain name registration, hosting, etc. on the basis of their expressed ideas up to the point of them directly enabling clearly criminal behavior (e.g., directly organizing violent attacks, sharing revenge porn, etc.).

Private citizens kicking someone out of a restaurant for being rude is not the same thing as government actors barring them from ever owning a restaurant, or going somewhere else where their rudeness is welcome.

> The only way anyone should be okay with this continual incursion into free speech is if they have truly tied themselves to the idea of being 100% on board with whatever restriction is coming down the pipe next. Such a person has no principles, and it's hard to imagine defending them.

This is a false dichotomy built on the aforementioned slippery slope fallacy.

CircuitPython 6.0.0-Alpha.3 Released
I can't say I disagree with you. I got my ham radio license in my late 30's because radio has always fascinated the hell out of me, even as a kid. But when I was a kid, being able to talk to someone far away without incurring the cost of a long-distance phone call was still a novelty. The ubiquity of the Internet and smart phones took away that particular novelty.

I still have a radio (several, actually) and one day when I have a larger piece of property I may even set up a reasonable HF station to participate in contests and the like but right now it's hard to justify spending time on a hobby that has little productive value at the end of the day.

I have a similar issue, though it's not related to Gmail.

I registered an obvious joke email address from a free service. I'm not going to type it here, but imagine something similar to "fakeaddress@example.com". (I could have used a gmail address for the same purpose.)

Occasionally someone will fill out an online form that asks for an email address, and decide to use an obvious fake, assuming that any emails will go into the proverbial bit bucket. That's why I sometimes get emails about someone's health insurance or airline tickets.

It can get a bit frustrating when online support forms insist on asking for account information when the whole point is that I don't have an account.

(Yes, I know I set myself up for this.)
