Having deployed extensive optical networks both aerially and underground throughout Iowa, my recommendation would be to locate a community that would value your contribution as a starting point. I would then deploy physical plant for specific customers overbuilding the fiber optics (e.g. if the customer wants 12 fibers, deploy 48 selling 12 and keeping 36 for your own future use).

In my experience VERY few people in the optical networking space understand how to engineer a municipal fiber optic network - they invest thousands of dollars per customer when it can be done with best practices for well under $1k per customer (let me just say that 802.1w RSTP is your friend). You need to combine all the different ISO networking layers into a SINGLE business model (ie. physical plant and Ethernet/VLAN circuits all by the SAME engineer not by different departments, otherwise things get unnecessarily over-engineered).

Even more important than the technical engineering is the financial engineering.
Once you understand you will never produce more capital from selling customers than it will cost to provision those customers, you need to consider more advanced financial engineering models - the one that worked great for the cellular industry and several optical networks is commercial paper. Find a lawyer that REALLY understands commercial paper - then every contract signed by a customer actually IS cash and does not need to be converted to cash. It's one of the only ways I know of releasing capital invested into physical plant.

Good luck!
Linux succeeded because of these reasons:

1) Over time it changed and morphed to include every feature people wanted. It started as a 386, single core kernel whereas now it supports every processor and 1000s of cores.

2) Linux always had the least amount of friction to get stuff working. Back in the early days, trying to get any rando program to compile and work on SunOS, AIX, HPUX, etc -- it was a touch and go / pain the ass process. IF your system had a compiler, you were probably missing any number of dependancies. Linux, you could always get stuff to compile and work.

3) Desktop - Yes, the "year of the desktop" hasn't happened. However, the 30+ years of trying has yielded the best options for a *NIX based environment.

Pro life is a misnomer, they are pro forced birthers. Any conversation about forcing women to bring an (un)viable fetus to term without considerations and preparations for the consequences of that including: cost of medical care, missed work, ability too provide and care for child, implications of child on parents mental health, etc is morally bankrupt and exposes the reality that this about forcing women to adhere to pie in the sky belief systems and not about concern for the child.

> to murder their unborn children

It seems to me that if you truly believe that an abortion is murdering a human, then the penalty should be the same as the murder of a human who is already born. In other words, a very long prison sentence or the death penalty (depending on locale).

However, if you think that penalty is too severe, then do you really believe it is murder when you have an abortion?
What I normally do is restrict communication to sole A-Z, a-z and 0-9. And store everything locally on each persons computer with a really simple encryption method so you don't actually see the chat. This protects you from liability as well as any exploits due to not sanitizing the data.

Literally just a "GET getChatMessage(AUTH, USER)" and a "POST sendChatMessage(AUTH, USER)". And inside getChatMessage, delete all messages that are sent.

It's a logical fallacy that complex processes cannot be created from random events. It certainly can, and evidence is abundant.

Biochemistry of life is an advanced form of brownian ratchet [1]. It started simple, but can get to absurd level of complexity due to selective pressure, and memory via genes. And selective pressure is nothing but maximizing for greatest replication.

Firstly, if you have a camper you probably want to take it out many times a year, and even if you just have a tent, an SUV is pretty nice for all of your other supplies. Moreover, it’s not any one use case that justifies an SUV as much as a combination. If you have kids and you camp and you bring bikes and you have jet-skis, ATVs, dirt bikes, snow mobiles, or other toys then it quickly becomes worthwhile.

My wife and I upgraded to a small (electric) SUV and it’s absolutely been worthwhile just for extended roadtrips and camping with our dog and maybe a friend or two.

I’m sure plenty of people get big vehicles for prestige/whatever, but I was refuting a specific claim that use cases for pickups are rare and SUVs should be banned altogether.

> So now we have a dysfunctional culture which is unable to cope with
challenges like Covid, gun violence, and climate catastrophe because
it has been groomed to be more emotional than rational, and the tone
has affected everyone from the top down.

The arc of cultural history you describe seems spot on. But I don't
think splitting between "emotional" and "rational" is useful or even
the root of what you describe.

Emotion is a kind of reason too, only it yields affect. Much of what
we reason out "emotionally" is the really important stuff - who we
marry, whether to have kids, when to change jobs.

I'd rather say, if it's true, that the quality of emotive and
positivist thought has been equally corroded. I think if you truly
take on board the thrust of the Trilateral Commission's action on the
"Crisis of Democracy", the attack on emotional literacy has been even
more vicious, and vital to the their aims, than the so-called "dumbing
down of education".
In Canada? You can't.

Canada doesn't have a lack of competition. Canada has a lack of people willing to consider competition.

Everyone I know whines about high telecom and internet prices. I know very few people willing to consider anything other than a lower price at Bell, Rogers, or Telus.

Canadians are very risk averse people.
Standards exist for a reason. Almost all rolling stock in the US and much of the world is set to this gauge because it was good compromise. By using a nonstandard gauge, they have forever limited themselves to completely custom rolling stock and related components.

The decision to use wide gauge, however it was it was decided, contributed to BART becoming one of the most expensive rail systems in the US to maintain.

Is the purpose of education to make people take tests and get high scores that bureaucrats can wave around, routing their success?

Or is it something a little more profound?
Maybe people just in general are opposed to removing car infrastructure and it is not some anti-democratic plot against your views?

It's kind of sad that everyone thinks the person responding to them is a bit nowadays. In the vast majority of cases where I have looked into it, the person is not a "shill", but it is a convenient way to shy away from the actual arguments they are making.

Unfortunately, that convenient method is not welcome here at HN. Reread the HN guidelines.

Bees won't survive until it (if ever) happens. We are likely too.

Yes it's all a mixed wet bag of chemicals with probabilities but thankfully we've spend a significant amount of time separating and understand a lot of these molecules in isolation to try and understand the Jigsaw of life.

I don't normally come to the defence of the biological sciences but why would you expect it to be anything else?

So what do you want exactly? For hardware to ship with signatures for every known variant of Linux, BSD, QNX, RedoxOS, Solaris, and OS/2 Warp? I'm honestly asking: what is the alternative you're proposing?

If you're just saying "it's not easy enough", well, that's a matter of opinion.
We only learned by accident in 2017 that Minix is deployed on the Intel Management Engine[1] and we don't know what it does. To this day we don't have the code for the Minix variant that it runs. This wouldn't be the case if Minix was released under GPLv2.

Sony also used FreeBSD in PlayStation 4[2] and to my knowledge their modifications have not been open sourced. I may be wrong though.

But that’s where the idea comes from that BART is somewhat of a consultant fee driven conspiracy. If u design a bunch of unnecessary engineering from scratch, it’s easier to create more costs and funnel the spending to your friends.
I remember taking biology back in the 90s and thinking "this stuff is really interesting. Even though I have minimal practical use for this knowledge, I'm going to come back to this in a couple years when I can explore it in VR because that would be a far superior learning medium than a crappy textbook."

Hi, founder is here.
If you have any questions, ask, I will be happy to tell you about the details, for example, the implementation of the playcode itself.
If I had infinite time, I would. It's taken a few years to recover from no fewer than 4 projects which were complete write offs in terms of profitability because my permits were delayed while the incumbent built out a neighbourhood for themselves. There's nothing better than a half million dollar hole in your financial plans thanks to delayed and denied permits.

Starting to build a carrier is a really steep learning curve. You don't know what the rules are, and you don't know how and when to fight back against the incumbents. Hell, the CRTC is a huge problem in and of itself as it took 2 years to sort out a fairly simple filing by Videotron where they had permits improperly denied to access poles (see https://crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2022/2022-160.htm for the decision on that filing -- my comments were referenced several times in that decision).

If someone really wants to start a small telco here in Canada, my number 1 recommendation is: do your own engineering. Engineering consulting companies will dig you a very expensive hole for projects that go sideways -- avoid that. The second most important tip is to fight back and go to regulators the moment permits do not get issued in a timely manner. Learn from some of my pain to avoid your own expensive lessons learned.
Cheng literally calls Africans savages in one of his videos. It’s still racist despite your whataboutism.
You're not responding to the parent's point. They're not saying that it causes or doesn't cause cancer.

They're saying Monsanto and other multi billion dollar industrial players have permanent PR campaigns running that include posting on social media. I think that's obviously right and a big problem in terms of public discourse, at the very least, because it drowns out legitimate questions and concerns.
I also bought Comic Code just ~2 months ago.

Used Fantasque Mono before it.
I was quite happy with that, but compared to Comic Code, it just feels soul-less... If you don't have the money though, it's a great alternative.

Otherwise I would highly recommend the Ubuntu fonts, because they are very well hinted at smaller sizes and look great without antialiasing too, just like Envy Code R!
The balloon would probably move toward the front when accelerating and toward the back when the bus slows, if it moved at all.

It helps (me) to imagine an air bubble in a sealed, nearly-full fish tank on that same accelerating bus. The heavier water gets "flung" harder away from the direction of acceleration, and the bubble gets pushed out of the way in the opposite direction. Same principle.
"WiFi as mobile network" was sort of the concept behind WiMax, which was fairly aggressively trialed under a Clearwire/Comcast partnership in the US and didn't really go anywhere. Part of the disappearance of WiMax as as technology is simply that LTE won out as the 4G cellular standard rather than WiMax‚ but that came about in good part because WiMax was more suitable for fixed-point access than LTE and there was, and continues to be, little market interest in fixed-point wireless. Fundamentally it is extremely difficult for a wireless technology to compete with physical cable for fixed-point access, DOCSIS is pretty consistently keeping an order of magnitude ahead of the best wireless options.

On a similar note, does anyone know of a squarish monitor that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, and preferably has a good color gamut coverage?

There was an 1920*1920 monitor (https://www.inputmag.com/reviews/square-monitor-eizo-flexsca...) but that's over 1k USD :(

There are other nice displays like Huawei's Mateview at 3000*2000 but nothing costs less than ~550-600$/€. It's a bit of a pity because you can get a decent 1080p or even 1440p monitor for much less.

Fyi I had written a comment some time back on how to make your own monitor, using Panelook but that also isn't very cheap (edit here - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30422163)

Can you elaborate on why you think this? It doesn't seem very obvious to me that this is the case. I've worked remote on a ton of projects and never really struggled to hash out these nuances via email, text message, video call, whatever.

Yeah, the proprietary vendors really shot themselves in the foot with unbundling, or the practice of moving packages out of the base install and into "products" people had to buy separately. Linux distros could be batteries included because of the GNU tools and, to some extent, the BSD tools that got ported, not to mention other ecosystems like X and LaTeX and various browsers, etc.

Nothing would have survived, that is the point.

Solaris would have died.

All Sun assets would have been taken by the debt collectors and done accordingly.
For it to be relevant, the "material adverse effect" needs to have been caused by an action by the company subsequent to the deal being signed. Like, for example, the corporate treasurer suddenly going to Vegas and losing the treasury on blackjack.

Second that.If you want friends then join a meetup or a club where you can talk about your interests and common goals. Work colleagues share only one interest which is the success of the business which does not necessarily mean that you would be having the same feelings as with a true friendship.
A (small) part of why I entered programming was disenfranchisement, my family was poor and technology provided an out. An out that didn't require me to get massively in debt with student loans.

These days I'm less of an angry teenager and my family is no longer in poverty. If I was looking for an alternative I might go the commercial pilot route. I should be able to do that without going into significant debt.
