It's not exactly small, or low power. These protocols mostly work with always on receivers using 7 to 14mA at all times.

Plus "LoRa" isn't a thing, it's a low level protocol, the applications space is still kind of figuring itself out.

It's also absurdly low bandwidth. LoRa chips work on a single channel at once, and the modes with the best range have only a few bytes to hundred of bytes per second. Shared by everyone in a large area.

It would be fantastic for emergency use in rural areas and for long range Tile like trackers, but to really get the benefit, phones would have to be listening and doing mesh relay all the time. The privacy types wouldn't like a lot of the most exiting uses(See Sidewalk) and most people don't seem to care about preparedness enough to bother.

Solar panels are very thin, light, and relatively cheap these days. Why do we still make things that are likely to be in the sun, without panels?

Why is our whole workflow often shut down without internet?

Nobody seems to care at all about robustness. Everyone either doesn't think about it at all, or takes a "Life happens, can't plan for everything, deal with it when it happens" approach.

An even bigger question is why we don't actually use Bluetooth to it's full capability. There is no offline BT mesh app popular enough that anyone I know ever talks about anything of the sort.

Nobody cares about P2P and the interest there was got totally eaten by blockchain. With all the crypto crash stuff there might be some new interest though.
There a few different ways to slice your question, but one thing to consider is that there are very different "types" of intelligence "agencies/units".

If we use the broad definition of intelligence which might be something like "gathering and analyzing information to provide guidance to decision makers", and then label any group capable of information gathering and/or analysis as an "intelligence agency/unit", then you can see why they'd appear to proliferate everywhere.

Everyone with executive agency wants their own analysis capability. And everyone with executive agency probably wants their own gathering capabilities as well. And all for pretty reasonable seeming reasons. Technical specialization, time/latency/bandwidth considerations, risk tolerance. There are lots of reasonable reasons why specialization and localization makes sense.

Now the challenge obviously is to make sure you balance that against waste in resources, stuff getting lost in the shuffle, and straight up political infighting.

This is basically my theory. It’s complicated because the sum of all the money of the bottom 90% of people is still way way less than the value held by the top 1%. So you can’t just have them buy everything. They can’t afford it.

However we don’t need to buy everything. We can buy some of it, and build other parts from scratch for cheap, and skip some parts of it entirely because lots of manufacturing capacity goes towards making things which don’t really materially improve peoples lives.

Under this scenario, you still fight over control of land and intellectual property. Control of land is essentially political. I think we should find ways to distribute land to all people. And I think we should abolish or severely limit intellectual property restrictions.

Each branch is motivated to gather intelligence relevant to its operational plans.

Also, excerpted from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism_in_the_United_States

A 2017 report by The Nation Institute and the Center for Investigative Reporting analyzed a list of the terrorist incidents which occurred in the US between 2008 and 2016.[0] It found:[1] 115 Far right inspired terrorist incidents. 35% of these incidents were foiled (this number means that no terrorist attacks occurred) and 29% of them resulted in fatalities. These incidents caused 79 deaths.

(...) 19 Far left inspired terrorist incidents. 20% of these terrorist incidents were foiled (this number means that no terrorist attacks occurred) and 10% of them resulted in fatalities. Two of these incidents were described as "plausibly" attributed to a perpetrator with left-wing sympathies and caused 7 deaths. These are not included in the official government database.[2]

I feel like if your response when I ask you the price is, "I don't know", then my response is, "well then I don't know if I can/will pay that". A friend of mine with limited means says his medical plan is just to go the ER and give them a fake name - he came up with it after suffering a head injury (pool cue to the head) and being unable to remember the details of his treatment. I don't think it's a good system, but it seems to be the one we've got.
I think the abortion case is more problematic than this. The laws raise a high barrier to entry, not just financial, but logistical and social. You can leave to get an abortion if you have the money, but there will be a fine on you, and you have to make travel arrangements for a very uncomfortable medical procedure. Poor people still have other, riskier options available.

What do you think are the odds we see parallel reconstruction via divine inspiration or psychic detectives in the next couple years?
You're ignoring the method by which these things are dated. First, if a date was written on the page (extremely rare), it may well have been after the date change happened. The vast majority of writings from the time are dated to known events, like eclipses, or by reference to other known things ("20 years ago, when Joe was born" and then finding Joe's birth records).

If calendars really did advance 300 years, we are living past the advance. That means that when we see a writing reference an eclipse that we know happened in what we call 900, it doesn't actually tell us anything about the calendar having moved or not. It only tells us that something was observed 1122 years ago. That could be 900 years after 0AD, or it could be 600.

Actually, almost every instance of dating anything back then depends upon few relative date calculations which are "known". The eclipse happened 1000 years ago, so that is year 1022, and this writing referencing it is from 1022, and so this scholar writing a generation later is from 1082. This inscribed rock was found under 1100 years of dust, so the people living here were from 922, and their language existed at that time, and all records we find from this civilization are now known to be from the early 900s. Now we can claim to have evidence that there was thriving commerce in the 900s with hundreds of written records about it, so of course the dates weren't changed.

If you dig into the records people cite as evidence against the phantom time hypothesis, the vast majority of them (literally every one that I've seen) is using indirect dating in this way, which doesn't mean anything.
I mostly agree (although I might quibble with how you categorized FAQs and best practices), but I think these subtypes are significant enough that discussing them separately is worth it.
> current efforts to effectively remove end to end encryption from people's chat programs

May be out of the loop here but do you have some source where we can catch up on the state of this?

In case you're referring specifically of the DSA/DMA (the recent interoperability bombshell), I don't see how that's currently an effort to remove E2EE.

Also keep in mind that only "gatekeepers" (as defined) are under scope here. E.g. Signal is small enough to not be in scope. As long as your chat program is not controlled by a multi-billion-dollar corporation you should be good.

Arathorn from New Vector has written a series of insightful blog posts about this[3].

References:

2022 EU parliament DSA amendment[0]:

> Member States should not prevent providers of intermediary services from providing end-to-end encrypted services. Applying effective end-to-end encryption to data is essential for trust in and security on the Internet, and effectively prevents unauthorised third party access. Furthermore, to ensure effective digital privacy, Member States should not impose a general obligation on providers of intermediary services to limit the anonymous use of their services. In accordance with the principle of data minimisation and in order to prevent unauthorised disclosure, identity theft and other forms of abuse of personal data, recipients should have the right to use and pay for services anonymously wherever reasonable efforts can make this possible

DSM FAQ[1]:

> The final agreement on the interoperability obligation also ensures that the levels of service integrity, security and encryption offered by the gatekeeper shall and will not be reduced.

...However, I can't seem able to find the referred final agreement. The publicized document is (still?) the 2020 version[2] which contains no references to encryption AFAICT.

I don't mean to imply that you are wrong here as contradictory (is there a better non-toxic way to say "schizophrenic"?) tech regulation initiatives seems to be a trend with the EU. But please provide more details as there has been a lot of confusion around this.

Hey, I like any language with this kind of goto:

switch (i)
{
case 1:
doSomething();
nextcase 3; // Jump to case 3
case 2:
doSomethingElse();
case 3:
nextcase rand(); // Jump to random case
default:

The US department of defense is the largest employer in the world, you have to have redundancies when you have nearly 3 million people working for you.

An independent intelligence service wouldn't have the interests of the other organizations it served. There are several independent intelligence services and military branches have their own.

Several times on email lists or in Slack channels, I’ve stuck my neck out and said stuff along the lines of “Whenever anyone asks a question about this stuff, people throw out these code words and obscure references to internal projects, and for people new to the process like me, it might as well all be Japanese.

The primary cause today of doctors prescribing name brand medications without the ability for substitution of generics is a form of institutional stupidity. EMR prescribing systems are driven by a common "formulary" that has an entry for each drug and defaults. Often the people that define formularies are a weird mix of technological people that don't know anything about the drugs/medicine and medicine people that don't know anything about the technology. The checkbox for the formulary entry that defaults to "allow substititions" is not properly set or is defaulted to disallow them.

Also this reminds me of one of the more evil things I have ever seen in healthcare. Practice Fusion gave doctors a "free EMR" because it was being paid by opiate pharmecuitcal companies to create an electronic EMR workflow that intentionally increased unecessary opiate prescribing. Absolute evil in my opinion.

> under 80% should be suspect anyway

This attitude disturbs me more than any other single aspect of the mass idiocy around adopting AI for critical things. 80% is horribly low accuracy for anything even remotely important.

For example, imagine you went to a store and could tell the cashier any price for anything so long as it was 80% accurate, as in, 80% of the original price. Just a 20% potential discount, nbd.

Or put another way, 80% of your items had to have a perfectly accurate price but you bought 5 items, 1 of them was a PlayStation 5 you priced at $1. It's fine. The rest were accurate!

80% is extremely low accuracy. It's absurd to think that's a good level to cut things off. We should demand systems like these demonstrate 99% or better accuracy. Until then they should be illegal to apply in any scenario where a decision is made about another person.
