Space flights don't really get a flight plan per se. Instead they just use various special use airspace - that is, in a sense, they fly uncontrolled but within an area reserved for that purpose. One of the appeals of Spaceport America is that it is already surrounded by restricted airspace for the White Sands Missile Range, but the Spaceport itself is located near the western edge of WSMR. The WSMR's main restricted areas are always hot and have a general reputation for being difficult to enter (although ZAB does apparently give permission to airliners in the flight levels from time to time), but the Spaceport itself is located under restricted airspace that's only hot by NOTAM. I've flown around the area a number of times. It's actually a relatively busy area for general aviation, by New Mexico standards, because TorC municipal (KTCS) is a fairly popular airport with both paved and dirt runways and a lot of light aircraft like to go sightseeing over Elephant Butte reservoir. Back when I first got my ticket flying down to TorC and around the lake was a standard cross country solo.

The flight was issued a TFR covering an area generally west of the existing R-5111, and additionally of course all of R-5111 (A,B,C,D) was activated (this is a normal White Sands Missile Range restricted area). I drew the TFR here since the FAA version with the drawing is gone: https://jbcrawford.us/f/HIGE-ivkmLprESd.jpg. I'm having a hard time finding any information on SpaceShipTwo's flight path from the Spaceport (I could find info on the typical flight plan from Mojave), but it's presumably to the north given the position of the Spaceport and its runway alignment.

Given what I understand of the flight path for SpaceShipTwo, the major concern would be overrunning the special use airspace at the north end. That's inherently a bit risky because at low altitude a lot of GA traffic follows the Rio Grande, up at the flight levels it's probably not so big of a concern because a lot of commercial traffic has to go around further north (R-5107 C, the high altitude part of R-5107, is active continuously weekdays even though the WSMR north "call-up area" is rarely used). But because of the huge implications of a safety incident with commercial traffic the FAA is pretty careful about class A airspace.

That's all getting into the weeds, but more to the point: what happens at "20 miles up" is not really the concern, that's actually outside of class A airspace and you can go back to VFR if you're up that high and, you know, can. The problem is that SpaceShipTwo returns via an unpowered glide, at pretty extreme performance, and so doesn't have much ability to maneuver for a lot of the return path. Being outside of envelope on the way up could cause it to come back down, later, through class A airspace with no TFR. If that's far enough north it could indeed be in a fairly busy corridor for commercial aircraft (coming around the top of R-5107 C&H) which is a dangerous situation indeed.
Conor might be the founding editor of The Best of Journalism, but if this is indicative of his level of writing he shouldn't be appearing in it.

Instead he's writing about a subject he knows nothing about, save an afternoon's googling. Completely oblivious to the State/Federal power dynamics, some purile talk about freedoms, completely swallows the conservative spin about why Australia is so far behind in vaccination.

The thing is, HOAs tend to have little to no power over people like that. They simply don't give a shit. They will ignore every letter the HOA sends and are will refuse to comply with court orders. And those court orders take years to and a not inconsiderable amount of expense to obtain in the first place.

IMHO, the only reason to have a HOA is to pool money for common area maintenance. Anything beyond that tends to do more harm than good.
You know, I haven't even really noticed a ramp down in freedom due to any kind of government action in the last few years.

Now, if you compare modern times to the freedom we enjoyed 50 years ago, the difference is absolutely phenomenal. Absolutely no comparison. I mean it's crazy.
What's wrong with it is that I can't vote for anyone that I share some views that are important to me with, unlike in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Spain, France, Portugal, Germany, etc. I'm forced into choosing between two parties which both propose many of the same things that I oppose. Whether they are colluding or not, they're identical on many policies that many people oppose and there is no alternative.

On your second point, you assume there are an equal number of tribalists without any data on that. It's beside the point anyway.
It doesn't have to be a while loop. Recursion is another way to implement a loop with a priori unknown number of iterations. You can also use goto.

And no, they aren't othogonal. A simple language with only integer variables, basic arithmetic, if() and for(i in range(x,y)) is actually not Turing complete.
Ex-BCI research student here.

The nerves that control your arm are wired directly into your central nervous system and can active your muscles in direct response to action potentials fanned out from a single neuron.

These noninvasive technologies pick up aggregate signals from hundreds of thousands of neurons all firing pseudo-randomly, filtered spatially by the dura (thick layer of membrane that protects the brain), skull, flesh, skin and hair.

A more "HN" analogy would be like comparing a directly wired Ethernet connection (nerves connected to the CNS) to a side channel attack on an air-gapped system (noninvasive EEG).
While randomly running background processes (normally) won't affect the data transmitted to the network, they will absolutely foil most side channel attacks.
> [Anonymous by default] honestly sounds awfully similar to 4chan.

That seems shallow to me, it's only true insofar as 4chan is a well-known forum that allows for anonymous posting. 4chan is ephemeral, the site I'm imagining is not. 4chan is image based, the site I'm imagining is not. 4chan doesn't have threaded comments, the site I'm imagining would.

Most importantly, 4chan allows for anonymous posting that isn't tied to a central identity (there's nothing tying anonymous posts to tripcoded posts), the site I'm imagining would. There would be no throwaways, you would only be able to post anonymously on an account with a profile behind it.

> Reddit is already sort of like this, honestly. That's why high karma accounts are often sold.

As far as I know, there's no bias given to high karma accounts in terms of default comment sorting or post visibility. The only reason I can imagine that someone would purchase a high karma account is to use them to gain outsized influence by applying for mod positions on big subreddits.

> [Vote biasing] will be slowly (or swiftly) shifted by brigading bots.

If they can accurately upvote good content and accurately filter bad content, so what? They will never be able to get a bot into the good pool of known benevolent actors, and if they're always voting similarly to the known-good actors, then they're indistinguishable from good participants. Everything would be derived from being similar to the known-good actors, or similar to those that are most similar to known-good actors, and so on.

> You'll still get echochambers for each viewpoint. There will just be fewer of them. Based on [the shifting of vote biasing by bots], the majority will choose the viewpoints of the echochamber.

The pool of known-good (possibly paid) voters/editors should thwart this.
Reddit's new UI is a decent first step down that road.
Welcome to the GrapheneOS family. I highly think you should consider sticking with GOS, as the security model is much improved over devices such as the Librem 5.
I'm strongly considering not upgrading to iOS 15 because of this on-device photo library scanning stuff.

Apple tracks upgrade rates internally and externally - hopefully they'd see the message loud and clear.

Meanwhile, iOS 14 will still receive security updates for another couple years.

> Countless millions will live with a permanent disability their entire life.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. I see no reason to believe this at all. Side effects from a viral infection, and specifically coronaviruses, lasting for months or even a year or two afterward in uncommon cases are well documented. To say that "countless millions will live with a permanent disability" with regard to a virus that has only even existed in humans for ~2 years now is completely unfounded, and over dramatic.
Not to mention, Toronto's housing stock is full to the brim of extremely cheaply-built condos. I have family that work in various levels of the construction industry there, and the story is the same everywhere: Buildings thrown up with as little cost as possible, high-end fixtures and fancy washing machines in-unit, but all of the guts are just cheap garbage that will cost the condo-owners quite a bit long-term.

Considering the condo companies have no incentive to care about the long-term (once they sell-out, they easily extricate themselves from basically any repercussions of their stinginess), it's unsurprising.

Not to mention, the buildings are almost all ugly as hell.

So happy I don't have to live in Toronto.
Good post. Importantly you legally have to vote in Australia, whereas in US voting rights are actively being trampled on.
This is a great analogy.

I have a PM2.5 sensor hooked to a Raspberry Pi Zero W, I use the PMS5003 ($40 at Adafruit). I have a script running in a screen session that posts its measurements once a minute to a Google Cloud Function which then inserts it into BigQuery, and then a DataStudio dashboard to visualize the data.

The cloud cost is $0, it all falls in the free tier. The Raspberry Pi Zero W is just $10.

I have a separate station with an SCD-41 CO2 sensor (+ temp/humidity/pressure with an MCP9808) all hooked up to a TinyPico board with Stemma QT that also post metrics to BigQuery in a similar way. And yes I'm planning to combine both into a single device very soon :-)

Because people care about different things and don't always align neatly with party policies.

Suppose I care deeply about both gun rights and abortion rights. Who do I vote for? Pluralistic systems with proportional representation are better at reflecting the values of the electorate.

Corporations are taxed on assets that they accrue (increases in total holdings are taxed as 'profit'). This applies to inventories, capital assets, and real estate.

This taxation is why corporations often prefer to lease rather than own, and why they often pay out dividends rather than using the money to collect assets.
Your statements are quite general and not much substance can be attributed to it unless you give some solid evidence as to why or what was said of LineageOS/Linux that hurt your feelings. If you are merely referring to the discussions in the room about the shortcomings of the above mentioned OS/Kernel security-wise then this is just a reflection of the frustration people face with security in Linux. You didn't even bother to add some relevant quotes. And I dont know, but we rarely talk about LineageOS and maybe someone said something about it in a disparaging way when someone new to the room must have brought up the topic of lineage OS and privacy/security.

I dont know how Graphene OS has anything to do with your judgement of the developers behavior. He is quiet a reasonable person ,helps people out a lot. Anyone who comes to the matrix room with genuine interest knows that. There are of course trouble-makers who get themselves banned and then go around the internet spreading ill-will.

I dont know of anyone who was blocked because they just made technical arguments about linux phones and got blocked. It always comes down to someone shilling some linux phone, calling it more secure and distracting everyone in the room with weird conspiratorial messages. So if you know of a situation where you or anyone you know were merely making technical points about linux phones/mainline linux in some argument about some aspect of those projects and someone blocked you or accosted you please tell us here. We take care that we act in a civil manner in the room and try to have fruitful rational discussions and do not tolerate hot-blooded-loud mouthed "evangelists"
I wish these articles also included the fact that other large tech companies are and have been doing this since around 2019.

CloudFlare as an example detailed this letter in a blog post in mid-2019 which also called out the 36 companies. CloudFlare then went on to implement the CSAM hashing tool in a blog called "Announcing the CSAM Scanning Tool, Free for All Cloudflare Customers" in December 2019. This was also discussed and applauded in HackerNews a few years ago.

See: https://twitter.com/mhkeller/status/1196818679683530752

Other large tech companies have something similar for a number of years. Apple have clearly been put under significant pressure about this. In more recent news, OnlyFans was under pressure from payment processors for not detecting CSAM content on their services, which is why they were removing adult content.
Much love to Daniel and GrapheOS contributors.

I’ve lived in or visited over 20 countries and one striking thing about the U.S. is how little we walk. In almost every city in the U.S. relatively few people are out and about outside. In some sense we have criminalized walking. It is so rare that in suburban white neighborhoods 4 black kids outside walking will be stopped by cops. We are not a free people.

I think that there’s a question not being addressed here.

The things you’ve pointed out to be “taking away” your individual freedom are things that you have to put up with when you’re choosing to live in a society or a civilization, i.e. in togetherness with other people who do not have the same preferences as you. This scenario is inherently rooted in conflict, and everyone has to make compromises if everyone wants to live peacefully. If you don’t want to have to put up with other people then your only choice is really to just live alone in a forest where you can exercise your near-total individual freedom.

So since there seems to be a genuine binary between living a life of compromises in a society and living freely but like an hermit, aren’t we actually advocating for the dissolution of society when we’re talking about exercising our individual freedoms? Government and laws are, after all, just manifestations of how people in a (democratic) society want to run their society, but it’s not like we can draw a clear line on where government control and regulation should end, no? Because not even all democratic societies are the same.

You might imagine so, but that turns out not to be how it works. Each time through there is a chance the particle will be blocked. It doesn't matter how fast in went in, because the mv^2 of a dust mote is tiny at any plausible speed. What matters is that N trips through gives you (1-p)^N probability of not getting caught, which falls off very fast... in fact, exponentially.

A deeper-pleated filter is the way to reduce velocity in traversal.

That's why the federal government is trying to centralize power here. Federal voting bills and abolition of electoral college are just two recent examples. It sure would be more comfortable _to them_ if a few moustache twirling lobbyists in DC decided who wins elections. No trillion dollar gravy trains would ever be upset again in that case. It's almost like that already (purely accidental win of Trump notwithstanding), but they'd like the remainder of control. For our own "good" of course, and no other reason. Additionally, over the past few years, trillion dollar megacorporations and the federal government have become essentially one and the same.

> Apple is not using PhotoDNA's hashes.

Do you have a source for this, or is it an assumption you are making?

> Apple is using a different system called NeuralHash.

No, one of the systems Apple is using is NeuralHash. They also use a second, undisclosed system on the visual derivative before human review. While it’s possible they have invented two separate perceptual hashing systems, it’s also quite possible that they would use PhotoDNA for this.

Details from Apple:

> Once Apple's iCloud Photos servers decrypt a set of positive match vouchers for an account that exceeded the match threshold, the visual derivatives of the positively matching images are referred for review by Apple. First, as an additional safeguard, the visual derivatives themselves are matched to the known CSAM database by a second, independent perceptual hash. This independent hash is chosen to reject the unlikely possibility that the match threshold was exceeded due to non-CSAM images that were adversarially perturbed to cause false NeuralHash matches against the on-device encrypted CSAM database. If the CSAM finding is confirmed by this independent hash, the visual derivatives are provided to Apple human reviewers for final confirmation.
