California exists in a weird transition zone, especially in the South of the state, between the Mediterranean coastal zone and the Eastern deserts.

As a result, its forests can get real hot and dry.

A drive from the San Bernardino basin up highway 38 to Big Bear either in real life, or on Google StreetView will show how dry, hot areas very gradually transition into forest. This is how a stupid gender-reveal party ignited 23,000 acres of hot, dry transition zone between hot desert, and alpine forest, resulting in me not being able to see across the street.

No need for luck jamming a ham radio operator. Even the most permissive ham licenses only allow a maximum of 1.5kW PEP with many bands limited to 200W. Ham bands also aren't very wide which means it would is trivial for a state actor to jam them.

But an unfriendly government doesn't even need to bother with jamming. A ham (or pirate operator) relaying Internet traffic over radio would be trivially easy to find. It's fairly easy to triangulate the location of a transmitter, especially one constantly keyed up. A government frowning on such activity would just triangulate the transmitter and go arrest the operator. An extremely unfriendly government would just blow up the station, operator and all.

If you want to make some decentralized network go buy some cantennas, leave hams out of it.

You were right. And this is not the first time Tim Cook's Apple caught outright lying, or Lie of Omission. And not in any good faith.

The whole new Tim Cook's PR and Marketing is way worst than Steve's era in my book. Along with their business strategy and behaviour.
Maybe it's because of the way Twitter is designed. On Twitter, the root of a discussion thread is a post made by a particular user on their feed. If I want to talk about another person's post, I don't need to reply on their thread - I can just create my own. Maybe this leads to an explicit bifurcation in conversation and similarly in perspectives and point of view.

For example, if I disagree with something that Donald Trump said, I won't simply reply to his tweet where everyone including his supporters can see it, I will reply to in on my timeline. Similarly, my followers won't follow Donald Trump to hear what I have to say about him, they will only follow me directly.

Given the root of discussion is always a person rather than an idea it forces people to judge in advance the content they read based on who said it. Perhaps if Twitter didn't allow retweets and separate comment threads, this kind of division in commentary wouldn't happen so much.

PS - I hardly use Twitter at all, the above is just speculation.

That is the problem with KOL, spreading wrong information and it spreads as Fact.

Gruber was also the one who spread the Safari Javascript is so much faster than its competitor because Apple have custom SoC and they use specialise ARM instruction to speed it up. And now even HN has a high percentage of people who believe in that without even thinking about it.

Looking at politics in the UK on both sides of the political spectrum it is very clear that the public education system here is completely failing.

In the general population there appears to be very little critical thinking, ability to regulate emotions, cost benefit analysis, consideration of opportunity cost, probabilistic thinking, nor even a rudimentary understanding of the scientific method, political and legal system.

I suppose it's still 2020.

There could still something that would reveal the truth, like a coup, revolution, second pandemic, financial-crash, war with China, singularity, mass-extinction event, nuclear holocaust, collapse of some ice shelf. There's always the chance something weird could happen and the government could use them on us, thus we would know about it.

If there's one thing I have genuine faith in, it's that 2020 is the QVC channel on interdimensional cable, and man maybe we'll find out early.

There are obvious things like "should we just blow up the planet for lolz?" where you don't need to be an expert. But there's also a lot of stuff where a universe of complexity expands once you look close enough. Things have unintended side effects, and the average voter will not and can not spend the time to look close enough to even notice that there are side effects, much less what they are or how they are connected.

"That's easy, just do X" is usually something non-experts say, me included in things that I know nothing about. I like to look into some of those things and usually learn that it's not as simple as a cursory glance makes it look. That's also why most people shouldn't be day traders.

That's absolutely correct. Restating the concept(s) presented definitely provides confirmation that they have been heard and understood[0].

I'd only add that doing so may also alert the other party to a lack of understanding, requiring further discussion, which is arguably as or more useful than just assuming you are understood.

Hey, got the same thing, diagnosed late 2018 at 33. So far I'm one of the lucky ones: a good biologic (Entyvio) + partial or exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) got me to manageable. But I have a habit of trawling the scientific literature and eventually discovered https://www.gastrojournal.org/article/S0016-5085(19)39702-1/... (Tu1716 – Highly Bioavailable Curcumin (Theracurmin®) for Crohn's Disease: Randomized, Multicenter, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial). I bought the Theracurmin product on Amazon and I feel like it was a game-changer and pushed me over the edge into deep remission, altho some foods can aggravate me.

I was lucky in that I got sick reasonably into my career, with enough resources and lack of dependents to step back and do nothing but focus on health. I believe that was key to achieving deep remission. But that type of focus doesn't necessarily lend itself to career success.

It's cliche, but you really do need to be your own advocate. "Step therapy" really does mean that you get started on old, less effective drugs first unless you fight it. And particularly in IBD, EEN is rarely used or recommended in the US relative to Europe despite good evidence https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29398336/ and clear potential as an additive effect on anyone's treatment.

PS utilized your devops tools and advice before I got Crohn's and it was critical, thanks!

I've not found a good solution for easily mapping my geotagged photos (images that contain GPS data) and sharing them. I wanted something that made it not only easy to view the photos, but to also see the location on a map, to zoom in easily to that location, to easily see the order of the photos and the trajectory of the travel as well as see the date/time the photo was taken and make it easy to share with others. I also didn't want to have to download any software and I wanted the free option to still have a lot of good features.

As a result I decided to create my own webapp. It satisfies all the above as well as converting the GPS data to a human readable location (Country and City) and calculates approx "as the crow flies" distances in km.

Yeah, I know, this is like the worst time in the history of humanity to be promoting an app that allows people to show off their travel photos given all the COVID restrictions in place now. I'm kind of hoping that people have some old geotagged photos of holidays they might want to share or perhaps they're still doing a lot of travel within their own countries.

A demo of a web page with some photos can be seen here: https://mapipedia.com/s/u/drdave/demo.html. There's some documentation at https://mapipedia.com/help_import

Photos can be imported from the local device or via a public link Apple iCloud, Google Photos, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox and Flickr. Make sure the original photos are being used as often when photos are resized or compressed the location data is stripped away.

You can try it with as many photos as you like for free if you don't want to save the page/photos to the server. You can also save up to 100 photos in (one webpage) to the server for free and the page will expire after 30 days (create as many pages as you like).

Perhaps don't try importing too many photos on your first test so you can quickly see if it's working and get a feel for how long you might have to wait if you want to import more photos. Avoid selecting videos as they won't be mapped and they could massively increase the amount of time you have to wait for the photos to get mapped.

Warning: some browsers, like Safari and some Android ones, strip away geotag metadata when you import photos into a webpage. If you have this problem try zipping them first (and importing the zipped file), or get a public link to a cloud platform (you can kill the public link once the photos are imported). Or copy the photos to a computer and upload using a different browser.

I'm fully expecting people to find bugs. Every time I test it on another device I seem to find more bugs but now I've run out of devices to test it on and all known bugs have been fixed. I've been driving any relatives, friends, and strangers on the street nuts because I'm always grabbing their device to do testing! Well, I was joking about the strangers on the street ... but now I'm going to strangers on the internet ... i.e. YOU. I'd love for you to contact me with any feedback, or just to say hi (always happy to hear from a fellow nerd): https://mapipedia.com/contact_us. Thanks!

The separate primaries make it a wildly different game. True run-off (common primary) is used in some states, such as California. In the case where one party wins both run-off slots, the system naturally selects the moderate. Great!

However, in a two-party "run-off", the sides are pressured to polarize and rile up their voters. It's a very different game!

I use a VPN to access my home network when I'm not at home. Most businesses use it similarly to let their employees access the work network remotely. This is a far more common use of VPNs than the "cover your tracks" use (for which VPNs are usually terrible anyway).

I also sometimes use a VPN when an Internet hotspot seems shady, or provides a crappy connection in some way (spoofing DNS replies to insert advertising on NXDOMAIN, for example).
"Once the stakes involve how you live your life, or how you view yourself, it's hard to keep wanting it to be a collaborative and open-minded exploration."

On the flip side this is why, for example, Neo-Nazis can say things that are absolutely vile so calmly; It's not about their lives. In which case the expectation that emotion won't be brought in by the other party becomes tone policing.
It's funny because we can't tell whether your comment is sarcastic or not.

Sometimes there's even conscious bias against vulnerable people. For example, VietJet forces anyone who has any type of injury, disability or is pregnant to sign an indemnity form before being allowed to board. If you read what you're signing, you'd also notice that it goes beyond the condition and grants VietJet indemnity over anything that happens on the flight.

In my experience, 'data scientist' has become a very loose term, especially in the not terribly sophisticated corporate world. Typically, 'data science' isn't even very scientific, but a useful set of heuristics to get good model outcomes on data. Rarely is actual 'statistics' being done to get scientifically rigours results.

People employed as 'data scientists' often come from comp sci/physics/eng/econ etc. They might be great at fitting models that also have great out of sample prediction performance, but they may have never heard of maximum likelihood, or know when to use a Wilcoxon rank sum test.

Hmm, the phrasing on that first link does not lead to its stated conclusion:

> Hashlife can take the same length of time to compute from generation N to generation 2N for any large enough N - it has logarithmic complexity.

If 2N takes as much time as N, then 4N takes as much time as N, and so 8N takes as much as N, and so... (for any large enough N). This seems to indicate--asymptotically--constant time, not logarithmic.

This is a very 2003 argument. The United States has pivoted away from being scared of the Middle East, and the religious culture wars of that era are over. Nobody's buying God Delusion at Border's Books anymore.

"Today, only 43% of Americans identify as white and Christian, and only 30% as white and Protestant."

"Nearly one in four (24%) Americans are now religiously unaffiliated."

And it's going in a pretty clear direction.

"Conversely, only about one-quarter of young adults (age 18-29) belong to a white Christian tradition, including white evangelical Protestant (8%), white mainline Protestant (8%), or white Catholic (6%)."

From the article:

"Unlike many of his, or our, contemporaries, Herbert was willing to imagine a world that was not based on Western, Christian mythology."

I would say, rather, now more than any other recent time in American history, people are 'willing to imagine a world that was not based on Western, Christian mythology.'

The author works on Sufism at UPenn (which is undoubtedly fascinating - would love to sign up for one of his classes), but I think he might benefit from looking at the world through a lens that isn't colored exclusively by religion.
I've been there. I an built entire deployment/change-management system in very small IT teams (1 other person with different skills from mine). We eventually got the go-ahead to grow the team, including more admins with my skill set. At that point, I had written pretty much the entire thing while the other admin had been focusing on tasks related to their skills.

Whenever a request came in for something regarding the system, I would have to force myself to sit down with one of the other admins and walk them through making the change to close the ticket. It took 3-4 times as long to do the work that way, but after a few weeks, I could start assigning some tickets to them directly and eventually the time savings exceeded the expenditure and I could go back to big-picture planning.

It's a hard lesson to learn the first time, but worth the pain of going through.

I think you're both right at the same time. Discord didn't need to be perfect to gain momentum, but it needed to be better. In a way, not only was Discord better; it also added a new use case.

I have never tried Ventrilo or Mumble, but Teamspeak made communication completely dependent on the owner of the server. You couldn't communicate with someone outside of the server, they had no identity. You could do that on Skype... But let's not get started with the mess it is to add people to the call and end up with hundreds of groups.

I didn't use Skype or Teamspeak for gaming, but rather for interacting with different groups of friends. These improvements were very noticeable. From all of my communications apps, Discord is one of the ones I don't mind the least. Most of the time, it just works.
I'd probably go even further than the author. Not only is the internet a centralising technology but virtually all technology is centralising. Ted Kaczynski was a little bit crazy but not wrong, technology with its facilitation of scale, interdependence, relationships across space and time and creation of division of labour and complexity creates hierarchies and the need for organisation. The places on earth that are distinctly free of centralisation are places that are in the literal sense of the word primitive.

However unlike Ted and like the author I don't think this is a negative thing. I never understood the sentiment by Barlow mentioned in the article, I just thought it's juvenile. Most people when faced with the decision of living in the frontier town with a gunfight next to your house or suburb where the garbage truck comes every morning chose the latter and I don't blame them
