This is exactly how these systems tend to work in practice. Just connect your phone via Bluetooth then use the Meshtastic app. The app can function on it's own to send messages to other phones without cell service, you just won't get the range.
> As a rule of thumb, one koku was considered a sufficient quantity of rice to feed one person for one year.
I assume "sufficient rice" means it needs to be supplemented, and this is supported by the footnote as well:
> Apparently 1.8 koku (1 koku and 8 to) was actually required for nourishment by a man each year, according to the conventional wisdom documented in a "home code" (kakun [ja]) of a certain merchant family in the Edo period.
Connections suggested without supporting info. I don't buy them. Maybe there's more info in the video, but the terrible AI intro (one of the worst I've seen) did not encourage confidence.
Watched some of the video. The connection between "freedom of speech" and "shoddy logic" is that Shockley invented the transistor despite being a raging racist. This was the best supported argument of the bunch.
It's an interesting point about that time in history, but I still don't buy the argument. Does it hold up when looking at which countries lead the world in semiconductor manufacturing today?
Thanks, it’s a valid question. And certainly semiconductors is an international game at this point, I make that clear at the end of the talk.
Once the engineering was established, we were quick to take the production abroad. But the 0-1 moments mostly happened in the United States. And could not have happened anywhere else.
And even though the individual points don’t connect elegantly, I still think america is an amazing place that produces the most amazing ideas and things.

Right, make the penalty for paying a ransom catastrophic. Very few employees will risk a criminal conviction and years in federal prison just to protect their employer.
Since we (as old Rummy said) do not know what we do not know, we cannot be certain about the extent of cyber attacks and what they might have influenced, and may not know these things until discoveries decades later, if ever.
I believe the popular sentiment is that when they hacked the DNC they found a handful of things that would provide bad optics for the party. But the RNC? They found so much evidence of criminality that near to the entire party flipped positions on issues related to Russia. So we have 2x successful hacks, one of which yielded some bad press for the Dems, and yielded an entirely compromised party in the Repubs who now are being actively blackmailed.
Or maybe it's that our archaic system was designed so that some people's votes literally matter more than others, and more than half the country does not have a meaningful voice in our Federal elections.
> more than half the country does not have a meaningful voice in our Federal elections
There is almost certainly an election on your ballot every time that is meaningful. Relinquishing that civic duty is how we get Trump. People to lazy, stupid or proud to vote absolutely bear responsibility for this mess.
I agree to an extent but I have a hard time blaming many in the LGBT community/supporters of Palestine for sitting out when Harris and co so thoroughly abandoned them in the general. They stood behind Biden in 2020 then watched as the democrats gave in on trans rights and did nothing to stop Israel’s campaign. Now they’re watching Newsome and folks gleefully accept trans erasure going into the mid terms/next election, so they’ve been validated in many ways.
Is it tactically sound? No. Is it what I did? No. But I’ve had enough conversations with folks that I get where they’re coming from, even if I thought it was the wrong decision.
I vote in local, state, and federal elections. I have volunteered with multiple campaigns and causes, and given substantial time/labor to the EFF. I have been harassed by Trump supporters while filming protests and other civic action. Please do not presume to know me.
I get you’re angry but you’re swinging at the wrong person.
Good. But the parent was blaming Trump on disinformation propaganda, and it is important to point out that the remaining 1/3-rd of the country is not some kind of idiot army that replaced their brains with FB propaganda. They voted for this actively.
Also, in a democracy you don't get to disavow 1/3rd of the population that didn't vote with you.
Clearly you do, since Donald Trump has been aggressively doing this for his whole political career. I agree that it's a morally problematic thing to do, and it can be bad tactically depending on the situation. Practically, it does happen without consequences.
Not if the election was stolen. There was a smattering of evidence after the election but the speed with which is disappeared was truly something to behold.

What a nightmare! Are your findings and this list of malicious extensions published somewhere?
It's interactive, for starters. You can do that with SVG, of course, but the boilerplate required would be larger than the `.canvas` file. You can externalize the boilerplate, but then you're no longer creating portable SVG files, and if we're going to create an SVG-like DSL we may as well try out this JSON-like DSL.
This isn't obvious to me. You can have javascript external to the svg for making it interactive, it doesn't have to be embedded in the svg. And the interactivity for json canvas isn't embedded in the canvas json either.
Yes, I'm being pedantic, but that was the point of my comment. SVGs aren't interactive by default, you need to bring your own interactivity.
For static content, SVGs work great, but for interactive content the additional sematic layer of JSON Canvas has a clear benefit. SVGs represent connections using paths, while JSON Canvas uses a graph. This means SVG cannot connect a single node to more than 2 adjacent nodes. If I want to draw arrows from Alice, Bob, and Charlie all to Dave, then I need to create a second Dave or reference to that location somehow. (You can see this in your sword example by moving one of the edge points. The sword delaminates because only two of the four edges at that point can be connected together.) SVG provides limited tooling for this, but it gets rather complicated rather quickly.
