Sunken City… it just drags on and on and on. I want to finish it, but every time the main mission gets interrupted by a side quest or I can’t find the “trigger” for the obvious next step clue I lose the will to play the game.

How quickly your culture can absorb new people. If you’ve got a hundred people who are in culture a, and you integrate 100 people from culture b. Now culture a is 50/50. And it’s hard for culture a to maintain its traditional positioning.

If you want to maintain a culture, a people, a language, you need to gate how many people enter the population at any time. So that it can be absorbed.

You similar problems with militaries, how quickly they can ramp up new recruits will still maintaining their previous cadre culture.

Do you think you will buy this esim sim card?

this is super cool ! i kinda want to get it, but I don’t have a direct need for it.

I wish it was possible to export esims

I just finished this, yes it took me a month.

I found his literary style, very compelling, it was a fun read.

I found his predictions while interesting, not very clairvoyant. BeOS is sadly no longer with us.

I did like his tie-in to the Church of the simulation at the end, though this predates the official organization of such an church.

I think it was a thought-provoking essay, I disagreed with some aspects of this predictions, especially around what a monopoly is. It’s thought-provoking. It’s a good read. It is not gospel

He did talk about hacker culture, and anybody being able to fix anything, but was not able to make the connection between BeOS and proprietary license and Linux with an open license. The death of BOS followed one year from the creation of this essay

Yes.

Calling GenZ tech savvy for always using a cell phone is like calling grandma a mathematician because she spends all day at the slot machine.

Falsifiable hypotheses and experiments that you can empirically measure?

I find the downvotes here delicious, this video is from a VERY thoughtful creator who is thanking people for taking some of their precious seconds on this planet to interact with each other. Positive or negative he appreciates everyone.

It’s the most positive, chill, good vibes video I’ve ever seen.

AAAA : on the rails open world where you can only do a few pre-approved actions.

Reverse the polarity of circuit diagrams so electrons flow along the arrows drawn for current.

Get a no-annual fee credit card from a major bank or credit union. Keep it open, only use it once a month to keep it open, never close it, and it will help your credit rating long term.

Do a frequency scan, choose a 5ghz band, narrowest band you can, that isn’t being used, (don’t use 2.4ghz, 5ghz attenuates the fastest). If your router supports DFS, use a DFS channel

ok… so our friendly OP can use their router without turning on the radios and everyone is happy? let’s advise that then

Happily the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands are unlicensed and open for public use.

Nothing our OP said indicated they wanted to run WiFi, but even if they did, they could choose a less noisy channel.

Nothing in the click through agreement talked about radios, or bands.

Any body could turn their phone into a cellular hotspot, or have a starlink hotspot, and that is nobody elses business. This is no different.

Letting the network dictate what you can run in your own home is MaBell levels of authoritarianism, but more to the point, its unenforceable ( You can always take a page out of how to hotspot book - Router runs a always on vpn and the lan side only goes out over the VPN, so DPI just seeds the router, and the TTL is as expected)

I’m with you, but how is using your own router messing that up?

On the WAN side, its just a dhcp client, just like any other laptop/xbox etc

It’s not reasonable for a ISP to dictate what CPE can be used on the network, as long as the CPE does not break the network, and routers are fairly well behaved clients by design.

Just from a data hygiene and security perspective, you don’t want to put your own computer directly into a bigger network, safter to be behind your own router.

Ignorance is strength.

Pretend you never saw it, plug your router in, and don’t worry about it.

If they do ask questions, you just made a innocent assumption.
