It is telling that in one of the seminal works about accessibility and rural public health, "Where There Is No Doctor", by David Werner, roughly 10% of the book needs to be devoted to wound and general sanitation and exhortations

I have lived in places like that, and absolutely prep like that when the environment calls for it. I'd expect a non zero proportion of the HN readership has as well. See: Burning Man, the fanciest refugee camp on Earth, where you nee

Say what you will about Mormons, but they take the idea of local stockpiles amazingly seriously. It rises to the point where they subsidize stores selling bulk food product direct to customers, at a scale that otherwise you'd need a Sy

This is a reductionist view of even the suburban United States IMO. There are plenty of locales in what I'd call 'middle suburbia', which I'd define as less than an hour from whatever their geographical city center is.

They do not, nowhere near what PL 117-58 specifies. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47383562 .

There's a ton of bad reporting here, because the publications, or writers, are lazy about sourcing their reporting. In this case, there is a kernel of truth: The 2021-2022 "Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act" ( https:&#x2

It's the Military Combinator Complex. As the years go by though, I become more convinced that there is no technology which is not dual-use.

AI seems to be the whipping boy, but to me, it really seems more of a symptom than a cause. At its root, isn't this an issue of a decline in critical thinking? I do think AI adoption exacerbates said falloff.

Yes, in the case of Twitter/X. A considerably wider range of expressed preference&opinion is permitted there before platform moderators will aggressively ban or users start flag/report brigades.

Okay, but what about my questions? Regardless of what you think of me, are those assertions invalid? How so?

Quotes and indepedently verifiable sources, please. For many metrics, this administration could be painted as the most law abiding administration of a Western Republic , in decades.

Do you mean to say that the Executive Branch does not have the authority to govern in accordance of the rougly 58% of the electorate which voted for them? Do you mean that they are exceeding ther mandate as defined by the written, customary

People that repeat this line evince a basic lack of U.S. civics understanding -- the Executive branch simply does not have the authority to cancel or postpone elections. If somehow an election still has not completed, there is no legal acti

If they have hundreds of complaints, that would be a mineload of dynamite, figuratively, for lawsuits across the board. Why haven't they done so? If you think the IG or direct lawsuit routes are unfeasible, there are tons of congressp

It's not really worth investigation. All the current headlines around this event boil down to a single source report from a litigous activist organization that only claims "anonymous sources". No corroborating IG investigati

The illegal side of hosting, sharing, and mirroring technology, as it were, is much more free to chase technical excellence at all costs. There are lessons to be learned in that. For example, for that population, bandwidth efficiency and in

Launchpad does this for everything, as does sbuild/buildd in debian land. They generally make it work by both: running the build system in a neutered VM (network access generally not permitted during builds, or limited to only a debia

A medium range trail/offgrid camera is perfect for this application. All the other solutions in the space are sdcard only, or dependent on some variant of LTE/5G.

I don't think most people really understand the compute complexity required for LTE and 5G terminals. It's telling that pretty much every discrete-ish full-speed LTE or 5G modem I've lain eyes upon is actually an embedded SB

The early MacOS era as well as pretty much the entire classic Mac OS era was infamous for being a more-or-less do it yourself environment for adding bits the OS didn't have or did sub-optimally for given use cases. The wisdom of such a

bios flashes are typically preflashed prior to soldering to boards -- some vendors route jtag or spi contacts, but you're more likely to need a vampire/pogo clip on for the TSOP or equivalent chip, or have fun with resoldering the
