I'm not very familiar with GMRS, but your scenario is what that license is designed for. So I'd recommend it.

I think in some places you can set up a repeater for GMRS? You'd have to check up with the local regulations.

Of course, you could get everyone (or a few designated people) ham licensed. In many areas, operators are allowed to let other people use their radios under their supervision, so you might not need to even get every single person licensed.

Frequency plays a very big role, and the rest "depend".

There are some frequencies that'd just simply be impossible to use for communication that close (in the grand scheme of things) and others that would struggle to penetrate the trees.

Without knowing the area, I'd guess that 2 or 6 meters would be your best bet. (Probably 2m)

Your next challenge would be getting good antennas. The antenna matters a lot (even more than power output. (See me hitting Australia with 7w))

I'm always available for questions via email. You'll find it in my website.
I always think about it like how you're never supposed to use a self-signed TLS cert, but all the root certs are self-signed (because who else would sign them?). I always think of the fed as the root authority in our implementation of fiat currency.
>The Olympics in Boston? It almost happened

No, I still ROTFL at this. It would have made Greece's Olympics a model of stability. I think it would have ended up being cancelled if Boston was selected.

Interesting point. (I mean, given how widely they spread - and their influence on local cultures - they had to be open minded ...

I am curious as to what some of those (codes) might be - excuse my ignorance ...
It's interesting that you cite the Toccata and Fugue in D minor because some theorists believe that was actually written much later. The original theory was that Mendelssohn wrote it in the 19th century, but I believe there were some sources from the 1700s. It clearly has a very non-Bach character, including the octave doublings in the chords you mention.

It's very clear that the man wrote chords. It's also very clear that harmony (ie vertical music theory) was not the tool used to write those chords. If you listen to BWV903, for example, there is a long section of arpeggiated chords that defy 18th and 19th century harmony.

The OP's idea of a tritone substitution from Scarlatti does not have the same harmonic function as a tritone substitution in modern music. I would agree with you that if the function matches, you can certainly analyze things in the context of a later theory, but the function does not match.

Finally, figured bass notates intervals, not chords. A crude realization can neglect voice leading in the upper voices, but more skilled realizers of figured bass will preserve voice leading between the intervals in the upper voices. The idea that figured bass is about chords sort of maps backwards the modern abuses of figured bass (which IMO should not be taught as a "basic music theory" subject - but that is for another day) onto the original method.
Potentially a scourge, but there is one area where such a pricing scheme makes sense: fines. Charging wealthy people the same as a poor person for a traffic violation, for example, is arguable justice. The fine is not a deterrent for the wealthy, and it is potentially life-changing for the poor person, as if they don't pay they will get a warrant and jail time. The legislators who set fine levels have some image of "average person" in mind when they do so; this simple approach is quickly invalidated when wealth distribution changes from normal to power-law.
That is where it will be in say 100 years or so. And will probably be the only place where the Winter Olympics could be held in the future.

Alcohol is not needed for that to be beneficial. Orthogonal at best.
> Because that is how the internet is meant to work.

No. The "internet" is literally the "inter-network", a way to connect private networks between each other.

The fact that VPN technologies sit behind proprietary corporate intellectual property is not by design, it is a failure of the internet standardization process as it was gamed by corporate interests.

Ethanol is metabolized to acetaldehyde. Aldehydes form crosslinks between proteins and DNA (and DNA with itself). Inactivation of the aldehyde-metabolizing ALDH2 enzyme (which happens in 50% of East Asians) increases risk for various disorders including cancer and late-onset Alzheimer's.

Justice is not a mechanical application of rules to facts.
I do think this is true, but if you include those times you'd also have to include the nights where it ruined friendships (or a host of other negative consequences). It would be an impossible study to execute, but I do wonder on-balance across long time periods and large populations what the overall net affect of alchohol is on mental health.

How much does this matter? If your own router gets WAN IP addresses, it can route and firewall everything behind it.
When you ask ChatGPT straightfoward math questions it usually solves them by generating and running a Python script which performs the actual calculation on its behalf. That's a reasonable workaround on paper since LLMs are better at doing codegen than math, but the heuristics which trigger that path are brittle so if your query is more complicated it can regress to making the LLM itself try to solve it, with predictably poor results. You can tell when the Python solver is used because there will be a button next to the response which shows you the code it ran.

In your experience, is the alcohol required to enjoy the night out?

I've personally had nights out with and without alcohol that were just as much fun. I'm also very much a homebody though, so I'm not a great sample to really say either way.

I wonder if these poorly-conducted studies are properly reporting any sources of funding an conflict of interest, as well as how they get past peer-review if they have relatively basic methodological flaws.
I used to drink alcohol to self-medicate my social anxiety. I realized eventually, however, that, because it also lowered my inhibitions, I would do and say things I wouldn't have were I not inebriated. This is what effectively convinced me to give up the drink, as it were.

You are talking about literally the single substance responsible for the most human (mental/physical) health damage out of anything we've managed to come up with so far, and not for a lack of trying. You still have some time to reflect and delete this comment (I think HN gives you about an hour).
Why would they be, anymore than for the original product?

Also, do you have a single example where there was a security vulnerability in the update mechanism of a car that resulted in an attack? Do you have a single example of a loss caused by an update (that would not also occur during offline servicing)?

Here’s one of the fundamental problems with studying human diet and psychology, from the article:

> The best way to assess the effects of alcohol would be to randomly assign people to drink it or not in childhood and then monitor their health and drinking over the rest of their lives. Since such studies cannot be done, researchers instead have to ask people about their drinking habits and follow them over much shorter periods of time.

Studying humans properly is nigh-on impossible.

Alcohol's effects on mental health for a population does not depend on whether alcohol is necessary to achieve a certain standard of mental health.

Python subprocess is terrible. Until they provide a much smoother interface for running other programs, bash will continue to dominate scripting.
But isn't social anxiety a source of many harmful inhibitions? To me moderate lowering of inhibitions is a good thing, and a couple of beers helps with that. But with anything more the bad effects outweigh the good.

Still, facing one's fears and going sober to anxiety inducing situations is absolutely much better long-term treatment of social anxiety. That has a lasting effect, alcohol doesn't.

The increase in alcohol usage in a population increases the onset of symptoms of various alcohol related health effects, including alcoholism and death.

It’s pretty well understood, clinically speaking.

But it’s fun to down a few and the statisical chances of dying sooner are not that high if you follow the generally recommended limits.
Makes sense, probably those who are ill or have other health problems.
Yes, but those populations are far from completely dry. They may drink less, but do not represent a scientific control group. If you did find a totally dry community, the other cultural differances may well muddy the results too (diet, relationship to medical care etc).
Apple wasn't even the second mover. There were many smartphones and pocket PCs from a myriad of vendors by the time the iPhone appeared.
I agree on the timeboxing/sprints. I also think those are unfit for regular software development though.

For everything else, there are many techniques that can be used depending on what it is that you're doing. They are generally the same used on agile and XP software development. How to apply them may differ but the ideas are the same.

Blue/green deployments, canary deployments, expand/contract, isolated prod-like environments, branching by abstraction are all great for reducing risk and blast radius when iterating. Test-first approaches where applicable help catch issues earlier.

It takes more work and more time than big bang releases but the risk of outages can be reduced to statistical error.

It’s not required, but so much of socializing and the existence of various “third places” hinges on alcohol that the choice is “do something social centered on drinking” or “do nothing”. You can’t expect people to single handedly overturn the social systems that have intertwined alcohol and socialization (especially for men)
The Verizon cr1000a router we got had pretty decent performance & wifi. I was generally surprised.

But man, it has a local DNS server & the response time is pitiful. It is wild how much faster the internet felt when I went around and manually configured systems to use a public or my own local resolver. I'm agog that Verizon would savage their Internet experience so brazenly with such critically deficient tech. DNS is this router's one bad apple.that spoils that basket.

There's also no way to configure anything else in the router. You can pick a resolver in the web gui, but it's only picking what the internal DNS server asks; DHCP always is the slow internal server.

There's other good reasons I wanted to get on openwrt again (i broadly don't trust the information security of this router) but this was an interesting & very surprising lesson.
At the army, I remember a doctor insisting on a very precise answer to the question if I was drinking alcohol "never" or "rarely".

Don't assume high spending necessarily means poor overall health. Two people in my household are on modern fancy drugs for autoimmune conditions (upadacitinib and etanercept). They work spectacularly well and cost our insurance company thousands of dollars a month. And the family members taking them are doing great!
There's truth in both. For countries with little research funding (Eastern Europe in my case), travelling to top conferences is often prohibitively expensive. Top AI conferences are regularly in places like Hawaii. This excludes many regions and those researchers must submit to lower tier conferences, or - as already commonly happens - they have to move to a richer country and do research there.

Remote conferences and lower publishing fees definitely help people at these underfunded places. But it is true that being there in person is still much more valuable. Informal face to face interaction at posters, joint dinners between different research groups, mingling during coffee breaks etc. are not replaceable by a Zoom Q&A.
I think that requires a quote to a research. I would be very surprised if beer drinking compared to just drinking water has a positive health outcome.
On a directly connected outside system, you can set a route for your LAN address space via that router and it will just work. It requires telco or physical access but I have in fact done this before.
I believe the consensus now is that her analysis of Eichmann was wrong, he had fooled her (and others). Personally I still think the concept of the “banality of evil” overall still has merit.
This day and age if a social/psych “paper” defies common sense it should just be ignored. Pushing these “findings” as science should be considered malpractice.
The other being the myriad of influencing factors you can never really isolate.

Say you do the setup from the quote, then one group would also be in a special situation where researchers told them to do this thing, and they would tell their friends, or maybe they would keep it secret, or maybe it would make them a bit weird, or maybe it would pave the way for more addictions, or make them more conscious of it, and they would have another item on their usual shopping list, and they may meet their spouse in a bar, and so on — all of which influences outcome.

It’s possible to go out and not drink. I can’t tolerate any amount of alcohol and I’ve definitely gone out drinking. Most people have been understanding. If you’re having a good time and encouraging drinking like everyone else is, no one really cares as long as you play the part. (“I would if I could, party it up.”) It helps to know a few mocktails that look alcoholic. :)
Would be a dream. Then a more-or-less independent entity paid by our tax money could be used to test stuff according to objective and scientific standards. I mean, stuff like TÜV certification already exists, doing a bit more work to get a reliable measure of performance, repairability, etc... like some review websites do wouldn't be that difficult.

Instead, we're forced to turn to third-party testers with dubious manufacturer relations - even when the results aren't freely available! - or technical knowledge (e.g. Consumer Reports using 1/3 octave smoothed power response for loudspeakers)...
Not to mention that humans are very different including their metabolic physiology. It's very hard to predict what level of drinking will cause systemic issues for any given individual. That said, I'm inclined to believe the studies saying that there is no health benefit to any level of drinking.
The study is paywalled so I can't see what their methodology is, but the effect size is suspiciously large. Are they accounting for the fact that well paid jobs, especially in manufacturing tend to be unionized?

I’m not sure how i feel about this statistic.

In America we have some pretty bed economics around health, i could easily see this number inflated by the exorbitant cost of insulin, or HIV meds, or cancer meds. life saving medications whose costs are quite controversial.

It will get much easier in the future when the likes of Meta collect and publish personal data down to the level of drinks choice. Researchers can then simply ask their institution to apply for a Meta-science subscription, pay for access to Meta-API to extract the data, hire a Meta-integration consultant to get it into a usable format, upgrade to Meta-science-plus in order to cross-reference Meta-pref with Meta-health, scramble to perform data analysis with the remaining two weeks active period, discover that there's a fatal bug in Meta-API because it was rushed to release by an ambitious product manager, wait two years for a bug-fix, and start over.
How much of the current failure to repliacte could be attributed to the subjects undee observation being aware of the phenomenon and actively compensating?

Edit: So let's make a comparison with sound, which is also waves, but not radiation. Every note of music corresponds to a pure sine wave. Just as every color hue corresponds to a pure electromagnetic wave. Except the purple and magentas, who do not occur like this.

Then you can say that most colors we see are mixed and reflected, which is true, just as most notes are not pure sine waves.
