I don't personally do SAR, but am getting into some adjacent things like ski patrol that have many SAR members (SPART, Ski Patrol Rescue Team), and volunteer for large event medical along many SAR members. So don't take what I'm saying as gospel.

Looks like you'd fill out https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LP6lFpUFgm5LwD48BmfEiXHqjgP... or contact https://www.alaskasar.org/membership to find out more. Usually you do training to do one or more operational capabilities. There are many kinds of SAR, these are the capabilities. There's people who take 4x4s up fire roads, winter vehicle rescue, hiking, remains retrieval and search, drone people, alpine / ski rescue, avalanche, ropes, swift water, it goes on, think of ways people can get lost or stuck.

I don't live in Alaska but in Seattle, for one of the SARs you'd mainly learn how to do search, navigation, and camping (backpacking). Once you train you basically get a text when someone's missing and you reply if you can help. You then drive to a staging area with your kit and help out.

As the sister post said, there will be a re-occuring training and likely yearly BLS / CPR certification, and simulated missions. You need to practice this stuff, and practice being organized so you're ready to go and not just asking questions when someone is actually in danger. Ski Patrol was around 80 hours of just medical training, and another 40 hours of job training, and 50 hours of training to just use the toboggan to get someone off the hill. This training also serves to weed out the non-committed people.

There's some good photos on https://www.facebook.com/KC.SPART/ of a rescue exercise, you can see the number of people involved (there are instructors) and know they're possibly several miles up from the freeway irl, sometimes doing overnight rescues. It's a lot of work to haul someone out.
Nope, it's not illegal at all. This where one of the "traditions" should have come in and congress/the people should have burned Trump at stake for doing so, though. All those concerns about Hilary Emails 9 years ago, but we let Trump fast track his circus in no problems.

> Isn't "fruit" wine kind of a marketing term for "fruit flavored wine", that is "strawberry wine" is supposed to taste like a treat?

It shouldn't be, I'm sure there are companies who will sell that as "fruit wine" just as you'll get companies selling industrial alcohol mixed with grape juice as "wine" anywhere where that's legal, but a true fruit wine is made by fermenting that fruit.

This isn’t true at all. Even custom PCBs are so trivially cheap that you can get 4-layer boards from China shipped for under $10. An ESP32 module is a couple bucks.

Electronic projects are extraordinarily cheap right now. I’ve built moderately complex PCBs for less than the price of a nice dinner.
> It describes how McLeod and Wei appear to have been running what NIH has called "shadow labs," using existing federal grants from U.S. agencies to help carry out research in China.

> Wei, the only ethnic Chinese person among the six fired researchers, was instrumental in establishing and maintaining his colleagues' connections with TMUCIH, according to the report.

> Dr. Wei maintained contact regarding Talents program applications with TMUCIH personnel, as well as other apparent Chinese contacts. Determining specifically with whom Dr. Wei communicated over this time period is difficult because communications were often to various web-based email addresses not directly traceable to individuals or entities and were in Mandarin Chinese.
Only one mention of David Cope on HN. Oh well, at least somebody remembers...
Jabber/Xmpp? Is that a joke? Not to be rude, but surely the ‘club’ bit is the key part of a ‘book club.’

Most companies with more than a handful of people have, or would be interested in having, a book clubs. In tech forward shops they are more than likely using Slack.

I could imagine targeting some chat apps for a non-work audience, but the age of people having listservs and using email for multi-person back and forth is long gone.
The PRC is a near-monopoly on rare-earths production; the US is neither an ally nor security partner of China (to put it mildly). The US doesn't source these mineral from allies.

You split your app into components and separate it from the backend using an API. This allows you to build a bigger development team. The result will be less efficient but more featureful, more polished, will have someone on call and a better bus factor.

It's a trade-off.

> When I Google, it is unclear how many DOGE team members have security clearance and at what level.

They are flooding the zone. That's by design. At one point they had "read-only access" to records. Then later people say they had full access and have backups.

The only definitive proof we have publicly Is that a federal judge made two orders; One to restrict access to the treasury for all of DOGE except for the 2 people allegedly already working in treasury. And One to order deletion of any records they have backed up. All other reports come from first or second hand sources. AFAIK, no one truly knows DOGE did in the Treasury, and we won't know until a court proceeding later this month.
In my experience, Flatpak packages take far more resources than installing the same application with Pacman. Are Nix packages even larger?
I ran a personal blog ~2007-2013, retiring it after one-too-many'a THC-infused evening of personal expression.

Several of my posts received 100k+ views, one with 1M+, typically exploring minor technical hacks. A couple posts resulted in minor sales of bespoke hardware adapters, which was a nice "side hustle" for a few years. None of this would ever had made me rich, but it was a neat introduction to information sharing.

My resumé still lists several articles written about my blogposts, in publications including Wired, Hack-A-Day, &c... although the links obviously haven't worked for over a decade.

I've recently registered a new domain for my next blog attempt, which will mostly just be a record of things I find interesting on that particular day. If you ever read Whole Earth Catalogue, my hope is for my own modern-day version of the excellent WEC-inspired https://kk.org/cooltools/ [not me/mine].
They didn't get the FCC money because they couldn't get a consistent 100Mbps down 20Mbps up, not because anyone claimed it didn't provide access.

Those numbers are the current FCC definition of "broadband" and I think it's fair to use the broadband standard as the main threshold for that money. And the latency requirement is a generous 100ms, no shenanigans there. Maybe partial funding would be good for connections that can at least meet 25/3, but we shouldn't consider 25/3 to be good enough.

> If you find that premise highly questionable produce a cogent explanation for why real wages have been flat as a fucking strap for the last 40 years despite massive gains to GDP.

Cost disease induced by regulatory capture and a massive housing shortage induced by zoning regulations.

> Once you've cleared that hurdle your next task is justifying the current massively skewed (and worsening) income distribution in the US.

Poverty traps created by social assistance programs that put overlapping benefits phase outs on the lower middle class, causing them to incur oppressively high de facto marginal tax rates that in some cases exceed 100% of marginal income.

> Clear that bar and all that's left is justifying private equity eating everything from fast food franchises to the healthcare system.

This is regulatory capture again. Captured markets consolidate and then corporate raiders notice that the incumbents have a monopoly but aren't screwing their customers quite as hard as a monopolist can do. The underlying cause is government regulations insulating the incumbents from competition; private equity are the maggots that come to eat the corpse once the market is already dead.

Notice how there was "capitalism" in the 1950s but lower levels of corporate raiders or income inequality etc. So then you might wonder what has changed between then and now, and an interesting proxy is the number of pages in the US Code and Code of Federal Regulations.

> We have the economic system we have. We call it capitalism.

If you judge an economic system by what people call it, we called the thing that happened in 20th century Russia "Union of Soviet Socialist Republics" and the thing that happened in WWII Germany "National Socialism" and by this logic we shouldn't attempt anything called "Socialism" ever again.

But if socialism is the thing where you put the government in charge of the economy and capitalism is the thing where you limit the government from interfering with the market then socialism is the thing we've actually tried. How are you going to put e.g. the US healthcare system on "free markets" when it's the most regulated market in the US?
Nope. Rice wine, sorghum wine, barley wine. Those are 3 wines made from grains that I could name off the top of my head.
If they write a lot, then you can.

But in my experience reading a lot of applicants’ blogs, it’s rare to even find a recent post. The most common scenario I see is that the most recent posts are 3-10 years old. Even if you can get enough information out of their blog, you’re getting at best a snapshot of where they were a long time ago. The truth is that often people blog the most when they are beginners in a subject.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that the ideal optimal blog that people imagine writing is an extreme rarity. I’ve seen so many people start blogs with high ambitions but then the farthest they get is a couple posts that are now so old that it barely corresponds to their current resume level of skills.

So you’re left doing a lot of guessing and extrapolating.
I once had a project that moved a microservice into a monolith on a larger instance type. SRE flagged that larger instance type as expensive, at $1k/mo. They really drilled in, asking "are you sure? that's a very expensive instance size". Yes, I was sure. It was replacing a service that was costing $20k/mo across a number of tiny instances.

Now I have a strong belief that paying people whose only job is to save on costs is a bad move: they will conclude that the best way to save on costs is to shut down the company. Technically correct!

because they made a public show of it. That's the big difference. Meanwhile, Healhcare is already under more scutiny than ever and want to bury a lede of hacking.
I think the main problem is that measuring a lot of these things is incredibly hard. The post mentioned laptops and build time and it reminded me of a blog post[1] trying to figure out if it's worth upgrading to m3 macbooks. I encorage you to read the post yourself, but my impression is that the whole project was a huge waste of time. I suspect most attempts to measure impact will end this way. I also think a lot of the recomendations on fighting frupidity are seriously flawd. For example letting developers decide isn't any garentee that you've made the right choice, but it is a garentee that you've made an expensive one. Unless the developers are basically paying for their own tools like in a startup, this is definetly a way to piss away a companiese funds on developers that are more concerend with their own career than the profitibility of the company.

How is your personal issue on an unrelated topic relevant to the article? I understand you're having personal difficulties but I've never even heard of this issue and more sounds like a simple mistake that can be addressed by talking to T-Mobile.
I think this can happen easily if some of the wires become unconnected due to the melting of the first pin, resulting in more current in the remaining pins, that the remaining connector cannot handle. Likewise, a short on the far connector could do something similar.
On board with all of this except conferences, which I still approve sometimes, but typically see poor yields here. My preference is to pay for 1:1 expert training.

>Say what you will, but Musk has a track record of executing well at preposterous speed

I highly disagree, and these stories makes his incompetence more obvious. As well as proving various anecdoctes years ago from SpaceX/Tesla that Musk was someone you needed to work around, not with.
You mean $2/customer? That doesn't actually sound that bad, and is in line with many other marketing efforts.
That factoid is because Muslims are obsessed with the name, and you will find someone named Mohammed in the majority of Muslim families, not immigration. It doesn't take much for the name to enter the top 10 boy names when they become 0.1% of the population.

It's 1994. Larry Llyod Mayer has read the entire internet, hundreds of thousands of studies across every field, and can answer queries word for word the same as modern LLMs do. He speaks every major language. He's not perfect, he does occasionally make mistakes, but the sheer breadth of his knowledge makes him among the most employable individuals in America. The Pentagon, IBM, and Deloitte are begging to hire him. Instead, he works for you, for free.

Most laud him for his generosity, but his skeptics describe him as just a machine that spits out words. A stochastic parrot, useless for any real work.
Ah, thanks. That's a good answer. I was coming at it from the discussion angle only. However, both Usenet and HN don't allow you to friend people, like other social media. I see I accidentally dropped the term HN, which makes my question unclear. I still don't see spiritual difference between HN and Usenet when framed around your response, though.
There's nothing he's done regarding Starlink in Ukraine that's of note besides denying a Ukrainian government request to enable to Starlink service in Crimea. That is literally it.

I don't get why people get so bent out of shape on this specific issue.

Like I'm a supporter of Ukraine so I'd love if Musk were more on their side but it's not a crime to not pick a side.
I've oddly had some pieces I've written (without any expectation on my part) get read by a lot of people. Even shockingly had people reach out to me over it and say that its impacted them. So I'm not sure if I agree with this article 100% though I do think its a wonderful read.

My take on the matter is here: https://jonpauluritis.com/articles/say-something-that-will-s...

If you're going to write - surprise people and be useful. Write for yourself, but also write for others. It will force you to select ideas that have substance.

Anyway, Great read. Saving this to share for others.

Yes. Someone without clearance nor congress approval running around with a sledgehammer is a lot more an immediate issue than a long term saboteur. We can deal with both, but let's make priorities.
Sorry, I was refering to Hacker News, not all social media. My question was unclear.

1. HN is centralized, but not for-profit.

2. HN does not drive engagement, AFAIK

3. HN is not surveillance capitalism.

You haven't demonstrated how Usenet differs from HN, but since my question had a typo and omitted HN, I can see how that is confusing.

It depends on how many upvotes there also are.
That's a perfect example of the type of thing I was trying to get across at in the article.

Cost optimization + a lack of systems thinking = frupidity.

> Conferences are expensive.

> AWS reinvent for example requires you to spend 2000 dollars on

That's an extreme example. There's thousands of other, more local, less expensive, less extravagant conferences. It's more for show than useful for the attendants, especially with the YouTube recordings. Anyone who can gain thousands or millions from new ideas in AWS also has TAMs ready to relay the interesting parts of reinvent during regular meetings.
Was nodding along until "...consolidating databases into a single underpowered behemoth...". Nothing worse than race conditions and stale data between multiple disparate datastores. I'd rather have one database and more ram for as long as possible, tyvm. Some of the latest nights I've had debugging were at companies with mission critical data spread across multiple databases. I know it's orthogonal to the point, but this one really didn't land with me.
Just for an example there are places within 10 miles of Apple HQ with no cell service. It’s simply not worth it to cell providers to guarantee 100 percent coverage in all the valleys in mountainous terrain. Many of the CA state parks have no cell service outside of WiFi at the park HQ. Vast swaths of coastal region has no cell service either, so even people who might just commute or travel a bit might desire the feature.

You didn't manage your own provocation very well. For as long as I've been paying attention, 3 decades now, I've observed 2 things to be so stable and predictable as to seemingly defy the forces of nature:

2. America's default talking points about it

It's like nothing can stop either of them.

There's already a feature so that when you try to post a link, and it's been posted recently, you're instead taken to that discussion and your submission instead counts as an upvote.

Doesn't solve the sameish story being posted from multiple sources, though.
I would agree with you were it not for the fact that Musk, Trump, Vance, and several of the DOGE boy squad have links to Curtis Yarvin and believe that his idea of Dark Enlightenment is the way forward. He was even invited to the Coronation Ball for Trump's inauguration. If you aren't familiar, you should read up. It's truly demented and twisted. The minds of people who would follow such a philosophy have been utterly compromised and corrupted beyond help. These people are not to be trusted.
