Last I heard, it was $15/mo. Even more reasons not to rent routers from Comcast!

The only downside is that if you use your own equipment, the first thing they will do when you call for tech support is tell you that it is the fault of your equipment.
National-ish. You still pay for most visits privately if you want a better service. (As in, you want someone to spend more than 5min with you) But it's definitely much better than the US pricing.
yeah, same here!
Slavery (as well as the continued and sustained widespread lack of due process/equal protection) stands as a great proof of asdff's point given your example.
Even if it does have a wifi radio, if you bought your own from someone other than Comcast, you probably aren't part of the Xfinity hotspot system.
The March of Folly in Tech
"Computer science was a fraud. It always had been. It was the only branch of science ever named after a gadget. He and his colleagues were basically no better than gizmo freaks. Now physics, that was true science. Nobody ever called physics “lever science” or “billiard ball science.“

The fatal error in computer science was that it modeled complex systems without truly understanding them. Computers simulated complexity. You might know more or less what was likely to happen. But the causes remained unclear."

This is all almost totally incorrect.

French press "muddiness" is not invariant but rather a function of filter size and type. It's the equivalent of steak doneness, use the appropriate equipment for the result you want.

Espresso is fundamentally different than pour-over. Pour-over is only using atmospheric pressure and espresso is about only not using atmospheric pressure. Pour-over is closer to drip than espresso.

Drip coffee is actually just pour-over coffee made with a machine, and using a warming burner is not required.

How good your coffee is depends not at all on the method used, and anyone telling you it does is just encoding their preference. Goodness of coffee is a combination of acidity, sweetness, bitterness, ratio of water to non-water compounds, time spent, and enjoyment of the experimentation. This combination is achieved by varying grind size, water temperature, bean roast, contact time, and experimenter time.

Email clients and server instances are just as centralized in practice. Yet email servers almost always know everything about you in contrast to Signal. And you can prove this by reading their code and by the fact that they respond to subpoenas with as little info as they do.

In Europe, "Computer Science" is translated with a word that is a mix of "information" and "mathematics". University course names are:

> [...] informatique (French), Informatik (German), informatica (Italian, Dutch), informática (Spanish, Portuguese), informatika (Slavic languages and Hungarian) or pliroforiki (πληροφορική, which means informatics) in Greek. Similar words have also been adopted in the UK (as in the School of Informatics of the University of Edinburgh). In the U.S., however, informatics is linked with applied computing, or computing in the context of another domain. [1]

My favourite was back in February or March when the official guidance was "no masks" and the consensus was "that probably isn't right".

Plus I'd like to be getting uncensored reporting on this vaccine blood clotting issue that the AstraZenica vaccine has. I didn't hear anything until it went from "vaccines are perfectly safe" to suspended [2] in multiple countries for safety concerns. Honest discussion about the vaccine side effects and safety reporting systems are exactly the sort of thing YouTube would censor, so they won't talk about it freely.

Also from memory and a Google search [0, 1] to confirm, some countries like India still suggest Hydroxycloroquine. I'd like to hear some small time experts discussing why that is vs how much of the negative response was because Trump used the word in a sentence. The fact check in particular is silent on why the recommendation is there.

If I can't listen to PHDs, why should I be listening to news pundits on this stuff?

if I had a 24/7 bot could sit in a discord and listen.. when it hears and word from [list of words] - it copies that statement and sends it to [my fantasy yahoo pipes remake] that emails me a copy and adds a post to my private wordpress and..

If it hears that a person from [list of persons] says something, it copies what they said, along with timestamp, send copies to my other places..

this way I can get notified upon specific events and don't have to watch 24/7 to see when 'princessK' posts a new decree.. or someone mentions digitalCoin X..

I could see that being used a lot by many people.. I would love to have a few other messages posted before and after [said event] also sent.. this way I could likely scan an email while on the go and get some context..

I'd also use such a bot for moderation warnings.. and if I can send a post to my private-wordpress - then all of my moderators can get auto-notified that a new post was made - which could include details like [badKeyword] was said.. but person Nickname.. timestamp.. possibly include the 5 lines of chat before..

I guess kind of like how google alerts works.. and there are bridges with matrix that would allow one to cross post and such.

It’s a school. If you go to the police they’ll do their best to make it a school internal matter and the school will do their best to make sure there’s no external record of it happening. Maybe someone will get expelled. Absent broken bones or severe permanent scarring that’s about it unless you’re going to lawyer up.
This isn't true, and it hasn't been true in a long time. I've been involved in the homeschool community in Colorado for a decade, and we are, as far as I can tell, representative of the larger population with regard to religion, politics, and lifestyle, and even race to a good extent. In terms of politics, I'd actually say most of us skew liberal. The past few years we've seen an influx of queer kids, who are either obviously not gender- or sexually conformant, or questioning along those lines. Turns out, homeschool communities can offer an ideal refuge for queer kids, compared to the sheer unrelenting brutality of conventional school.

Depends on the particular community of course, but ours is good for that.

Far too many variables to change at once. Do they have such little idea of which one of these variables matters that they had to bunch them into giant groups? My guess is they did everything they felt might help slow aging... which isn't good science.

My personal theory (don't take science advice from a non-scientist, this is my crazy idea) is that the start codon, being coded by methionine, if methionine is restricted all cellular activity will slow down in equal proportion and therefore aging will slow down. Vegans get low methionine as it's highest in cheese and fish and eggs, and we know vegans live longer. Could actually be explained by just one variable.

I suppose if we call it computer science, then perhaps all the other forms of science should really be called "reverse engineering" (especially biology.)

It may go through an Amazon device, but that fact is stripped away as soon as the packet leaves your network. Your router may know it came from your Echo, but your ISP won't have a clue.

And even if Amazon is tunneling all traffic now, that may change or someone may find a way to break out of it.

And even if law enforcement sees that the traffic is from Sidewalk, our legal system is pretty shit regarding the internet and I bet a dedicated prosecutor would try to get you for aiding a criminal because you technically allowed that access to your network. Look at the legal issues around running TOR exit nodes and the uncertainty there, in a lot of ways this is an opt-out version of that. (though I admit this might be a stretch, but I don't trust the legal system enough to handle this well).
Computer science is the mathematics behind counting.

You count the number of "swap" operations in insertion sort, quicksort, or merge sort. You count the number of "memory" operations. You count the number of bytes used.

When precise counts are difficult, you learn big-O notation to estimate how counts change as variable grow. Etc. etc. etc.
pg has a good essay partially around this topic called "Hackers and Painters." That essay also lends its name to his book of essays. To quote

> I've never liked the term "computer science." The main reason I don't like it is that there's no such thing. Computer science is a grab bag of tenuously related areas thrown together by an accident of history, like Yugoslavia. At one end you have people who are really mathematicians, but call what they're doing computer science so they can get DARPA grants. In the middle you have people working on something like the natural history of computers-- studying the behavior of algorithms for routing data through networks, for example. And then at the other extreme you have the hackers, who are trying to write interesting software, and for whom computers are just a medium of expression, as concrete is for architects or paint for painters. It's as if mathematicians, physicists, and architects all had to be in the same department.

To be fair I stayed at home a lot during my high school years and I wasn't doing nothing. I was teaching myself how to code, working on cryptocurrencies, and interacting with people on forums that felt a lot more authentic than social media today. One of those interactions turned into a long term relationship. It's not all bad.

Definitely think it's important to have physical learning and the social interactions that come from that though, but beyond that you don't need to force people to do extracurricular stuff at school.

(The standard subjects should be well balanced and have a mix of things, from maths and science to art and PE, etc, with a gradual increase in flexibility and self-choice in what to keep).

I may end up hiring some merc help to get it self hosted and running with some customized avatars.. the custom digital avatar stuff can be really complex if you want it to be - which I like - but I know I would spend weeks playing with all that, and someone that knows the digital stage / lighting tools out there can likely slap together what I would need for a small launch project in a day.

there isnt even a preprint of this yet

"In the 22-page paper which is set to be published in the scientific journal Quarterly Review of Biophysics Discovery, the scientists describe their months-long 'forensic analysis', looking back at experiments done at the Wuhan lab between 2002 and 2019. "

the underlying base of this thesis appears to be the presence of 4 positive charge amino acid residues in succesion with each other, apparently unlikely due to charge repulsion.

to say the least it is not particularily good form to publish in the dailymail before a preprint has even been published for review.

this gets into a bit of biochemistry, but amino acids have different charge chacteristics depending on surrounding conditions, free solvated amino acids or peptide linked in a sequence, they dont present with the same charges at different p[H+] or tonicity, this is not against the laws of physics, nor is adjacent like charged amino acids in a sequence against the laws of physics, especially when biological phenomenon take a work around past those laws
That's part of it. But also, if you start with a 4-patch series, and you want to publish a v2 that's changed to a 3-patch series, Gerrit doesn't seem to handle that very well. In general, I'd prefer if patches are kept together in one review, rather than a separate review for each.

Perhaps because you are asking the wrong question: "PGP/GPG is old, broken, and insecure, what is an exact drop-in replacement that I can substitute for it?"

Instead, the question should be: "PGP/GPG is old, broken, and insecure, what is a replacement for [this specific thing I am trying to accomplish with it]?:

So what are you trying to do with GPG? Sign a package? Encrypt a file? Store a backup? Transfer a file? Send a message? There are plenty of modern, secure solutions for these.
