It's commercially available.

Joe Stalker, however, probably won't get it from google. Unfortunately there are many other databases, including ones available at low cost (or free: https://wigle.net/ ) which the stalker is more likely to use, unless they work at google. And when you add "nomap" to turn off google's tracking you'll make your SSID more unique and trackable in every other database.
I would have more acceptance towards this viewpoint if it was about automatic positioning using images of the neighborhood.

To me, lamenting the era of wifi technology yet without ubiquitous use of smartphones seems a bit... quaint?
This is history that I wish I knew in more detail, but I think TCP learned[1] it from Ethernet, and Ethernet learned[2] it from ALOHAnet[3] (in the 1970s).

> I'm not saying that anyone should be banned from doing anything.

Your characterization of it as a "privacy abuse" suggests otherwise. Moreover, my argument is that most people wouldn't call a mapping of street numbers to gps coordinates a privacy abuse, so it would be absurd to call a mapping of BSSIDs to gps coordinates a privacy abuse as well since they're both pretty similar.
It's a fairly guard-railed, easy to deploy, React-based static site generator with dynamic content capabilities as well. It's generally great software. My team uses it for https://instantdomainsearch.com and we get good performance and developer experience overall.

To me it feels like the React "happy path" at the moment if you need a static or partially dynamic site/web application. I suppose the ideal use case is essentially any site you want to serve statically but maintain with React. This could be a blog, graphic design portfolio, or even a small store. It makes it easy for us to embed our React-based search application inside of a site with static content beside it that's easy to maintain and create.

Yeah, we could do this without next, but it provides some convention and well-made tools that generally make the job easier.
The toxic lab/advisor is a very real issue.

I've seen some of my smartest friends stagnate to the point of being 9-10th year phds without the ability to navigate the job market. These are people at places like MIT and Caltech.

One of my regrets was turning down an offer at a FAANG to go to grad school in 2014. I finished up in 2020 and couldn't even land an interview despite having a pretty good publication/open-source track record. My advisor was no help on the job market, I felt kicked to the curb.

Took me 1 year to find a job (backend engineer) and I'm still grappling with the fact that I wasted my 20's doing a PhD when I could've at least enjoyed life a little bit more and had a bit of a financial cushion. Honestly, being a swe in industry is a vacation compared to the uncertainty and workload during the phd.
Sometimes propaganda is more powerful if delivered in a more neutral and objective tone. Also, historical accounts are more believable when supported by sources and evidence. Otherwise it feels a bit one sided.

The CIA has certainly done some weird and evil shit. Slanted writing like this isn't going to persuade anyone, though.

I still haven’t seen anyone explain how this code gets deployed to the shareable URL though. Is it being pushed to the Vercel edge network when you run next dev? What is actually happening when you use this on-page code editor? Where are those code changes being persisted to?
For most users MS Office is a nightmare program to learn and use. It's functionality is incredibly extensive, having accumulated the kitchen sink, stove and refridgerator over its long life. But this doesn't make it actually very usable for people coming to it at this point. LibreOffice, while certainly not matching the functionality of MS Office, is much closer to the subset of what most people need most of the time.

I've been using Linux on-and-off since the fall of 1993 and I've learned that the best way to use Linux is to pick the most popular distribution and then do as little customization as possible. You still will probably have to wipe and reinstall from scratch every five years, but that's not a Linux-only problem.

> Bolivia — A CIA-organized military operation captures legendary guerilla Che Guevara. The CIA wants to keep him alive for interrogation, but the Bolivian government executes him to prevent worldwide calls for clemency.

This was actually a good thing. Che Guevara was a psychopathic murderer and war criminal.

Looking through this list, it is interesting how it minimizes the atrocities of communists.

Lest there be an accusation of “both sides”, you really have to consider the contexts in which things occurred. For example during WWII, you could easily do a huge article about Allied atrocities in fighting the Nazis and how civilian and industrial areas were targeted and often included as collateral damage during night time bombing. But it is also true that the bombing of cities and destruction of German industrial capacity contributed to the collapse of the Nazis.

The truth is that Communists have killed more people and been responsible for more human misery than any corresponding movement or ideology in the 20th century. In addition, for the most part, the countries that joined the US Bloc ended up doing well for their citizens in the long term, even when they started out as authoritarian (see for example South Korea and Singapore) while countries that embraced Communism screwed over their people (See East Germany and North Korea).

Honestly, if they would just allow any sort of tagging of pages and selection by tag, this thing would completely change my life. We get so many lawsuits and foia requests that being able to quickly find notes related to "person a" or "activity a" is vital.

If the current RM2 had tagging, and an 8.5"x11" functional screen, I would be obscenely content with the product. It might be the perfect daily driver tool for my job at that point.
I’m assuming he didn’t mean he personally partook in all those things, more of that it’s a place where you’re free to do things otherwise viewed as terrible crimes without consequence.

Why would you penalize people for this? Most CEOs do the same thing - do you feel its dishonest or something?

To me, it's more of a "yes, this is dumb, but it's a mistake that someone could make out of naivete or lack of confidence". It doesn't strike me as something particularly misleading (since, as you say, you see right through it). In fact, given all the outright lying that already happens in hiring, I would say this is one of the more innocuous annoyances. (And it does annoy me, but I'm annoyed at how people use the phrase, not at the one particular candidate.)
This hits the nail on the head. All of the CAD kernels basically date from the 1980s. The mathematics involved in extending them is not widely taught, and while this knowledge still lives in books, it is not finding its way into minds.
>Google is not distributing any information about an access points.

They are - they answer the question "where is the AP with this BSSID?" repeatedly.

Not a public api? Just get an ap, change the BSSID and put your android phone in a faraday cage with it.

It might be a fine line to walk with the definition of "other identifiers" here (especially with a BSSID), particularly when RFID tags count as personally identifiable.

https://gdpr.eu/recital-30-online-identifiers-for-profiling-...

> Natural persons may be associated with online identifiers provided by their devices, applications, tools and protocols, such as internet protocol addresses, cookie identifiers or other identifiers such as radio frequency identification tags. This may leave traces which, in particular when combined with unique identifiers and other information received by the servers, may be used to create profiles of the natural persons and identify them.
Sure, but if everyone in the world renamed their networks to "_optout_nomap" it would work marvelously!
According to US law, what's against the law is intercepting communications that are not readily accessible to the public. A Wi-Fi beacon containing an SSID is not a communication intended for somebody else, so there's no legal issue with receiving it.

The restrictions are on how the hardware is used, not what it's technically capable of.

Last time I had a "silent crash" heisenbug that produced no output, I solved it by system-level tracing (ETW, Event Tracing for Windows). It turned out not to be a crash at all! We had a script in our test harness that cleaned up stray processes, and that script sometimes managed to run long enough that it caught the start of the next test, and killed the tested executables before they managed to output anything.

Try duplicating the project, it should give you access to the code. Also the API returns the current weather/UV index, so the result is always for the current time at the location.
I have RM2 and use it less than I would like to.

RM2 is fine as a note taking device but is suboptimal for reading.

As many other have said the Remarkable 2 hardware is impressive but the default software is weak for basic reading tasks.

With Koreader RM2 is quite decent.

Latest RM2 update seems to have bricked Koreader though so I will have to reinstall it.

Still, I prefer the original Sony DSP-1 13inch e-reader or even Kobo 6.8 inch e-reader for long reading sessions.

>Scenes require supporting media. In the age of print and broadcast, access to media was comparably limited. Consequently, the number of scenes was comparably limited.

If anything, it's the complete reverse. Scenes were more localized and had many different variations and unique cultures.

> The "something" that happened was the general public learning how the internet could be used to easily publish media for as many scenes as people could think of.

Which lead to a great consolidation, something we see in other areas as well. Regional cultures become less and less stark as national TV/news came about.

>It's now feasible for individuals to globally publish media regardless of how many other people are interested in it.

Which means the other scenes die out, and a predominant one appears. That's why you see flags and pronouns all across Twitter, but nothing much else. It's also why American culture is being exported globally, destroying unique cultures in its wake.

I have been working to script Autodesk Fusion 360 with python recently. Programming against this environment is tough and frustrating. A couple of things I have noticed

1. Using the API is far from intuitive. There are many objects that you have to use from the API that have no named corollary in the UI. I know BReps are a thing (probably faces) but there is no way to name a face in the UI and find that via the debugger. I have to poke and prod to try to create the objects to build the things I want to.
2. Limited documentation. The APIs and object tree are documented, but examples are often limited
3. Poor programming environment. It is nice that there is a debugger mode that works with vscode, but this debugger connection frequently breaks, requiring tabbing back into fusion, restarting the debugger, tabbing back to vs-code, restarting the debugger...
4. Most examples are written by non-programmers. I have seen a couple of examples of object graph printout programs, instead of building up a list of lists or objects, these programs intertwine navigating through the tree with print indentation.

That said, I just found this repo [1] which looks well written.

On the other hand, CAD software is much more complicated than most systems I interact with. CAD platforms are one of the few remaining software systems that are written for experts. Experienced practioners are very productive [2]. So programming these systems will also be complicated.

FWIW I'm trying to template a bunch of part imports and their layouts. I'm surprised that this isn't built into the system. You can edit variables for almost (almost) every input in the system, you can name variables and elevate them to file wide variables - all without touching programming. I wish importing was parameterized such that upon import I got a chance to edit the filewide variables as parameters in the new document.

I quite like math, but I hated the college-level calc series. I had to struggle to just pull of a B average, even though I thoroughly understood the concepts. I went on to apply calculus and diff eqs in higher level classes quite successfully, where the rote memorization isn't the point.

But those weed-out classes test a bunch of arcane mechanics and memorized formulas and transformations in the most intentionally obtuse exam questions possible. If you don't know the "one weird trick" you're kind of screwed.

Math weed-out classes are a lot like the tech interview problem, but for STEM majors.
SSID are PII, for sure. Its easy to geolocate the AP to a few meters. The fact the information is publicly available (when within physical vicinity) does not make it less so.

To what purpose? Do you believe that it would result in a happier and more successful populace/world?

Calculus 3 is probably what you mean. calculus 1 does not cover integrals that much beyond some of the basic techniques. The handwaving typically makes the class easier instead of harder. I find it hard to belive that someone who struggles with intro calculus will underderstand it by starting with elliptic functions.

>Large groups have broken into smaller groups because people are less required to be a part of a large group to be accepted.

I think language could be an issue here, but the problem as I see it is that cohort ID doesn't contain even a summary of the data. It's really just a number.

The website or ad network is able to read those numbers and build profiles on them, but it's still divorced from the user and their specific data.

I think a better comparison is that of a hash. It sums up the data, but is just a unique identifier for it. Of course with a cohort ID it's non-unique (by design).

Because the browser is only sending a number, it retains the ability to change, randomize, or obscure that number. That's an important privacy consideration of the system.

For what it's worth, I do think more work is needed. One of Mozilla's suggestions which I liked was to automatically send a missing ID on occasion, just to keep things a little hazy and reduce fingerprinting viability.

Fingerprinting is inherently less-necessary as a result of FloC, and you need to balance it to not become necessary again, but it's a way to protect users that fully opt-out without themselves become fingerprintable.

If monitoring the ISM bands was illegal, wifi would be illegal. Wifi stations continuously monitor the channel they are using to avoid interference and will typically monitor the whole band during the frequency selection process (i.e. searching for the least-crowded channel when setting up the AP). The fact that the ISM bands are basically a free-for-all is one of the best regulatory moves in the history of radio, since that has basically made the diverse market for wireless consumer electronics possible (including wifi and bluetooth, two of the greatest inventions in consumer electronics in my lifetime).
