My encryption article is READY. look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair: https://blog.soykaf.com/post/encryption/
@coldwave whatcha makin?
@Sphinx folks seemed to be at work in San Antonio
I immediately had to set it up and secure it on my local network, which meant I had to _learn_ how to secure it...
I'm finally on an ISP with ipv6 support! How cool! I feel like I live in a chunk of the US catching up with the rest of the world.
@mewmew same hash 🤷♂️

The Alternative Big O notation:
O(1) = O(yeah)
O(log n) = O(nice)
O(n) = O(k)
O(n²) = O(my)
O(2ⁿ) = O(no)
O(n!) = O(mg!)
Georgia's primary was a mess - but they narrowly avoided a runoff! If they hadn't, voters would've needed to go back to the poll a second time. Would voters go through that hassle?
If they had #RankedChoiceVoting, also called #InstantRunoffVoting, this would not be a concern. It's equivalent to a normal runoff election, but without the second/third/fourth time at the ballot box.

walking is not more efficient than driving.
calories for a group of four to walk a mile (as opposed to sitting): ~400 [1]
gallons of gas to drive one mile: ~1/25 [2]
the amount of energy used to grow food (not even including transportation) relative to the amount of energy the food contains is about 10:1 [3]
amount of energy in one gallon of gasoline: ~31,000 calories [4]
therefore, amount of gas energy to walk somewhere is 4,000 calories for four people. to drive, it's only 1,240. so driving is 3-4x as efficient as walking!

@mewmew that's just how inefficient our massive food production system is. We gotta get things on electric and get the grid more sustainable.
@mewmew wow! Yeah. That scientific american article points that out. Thanks, very interesting.
@mewmew you included the energy required to produce the energy the walkers used... Should you do the same for the gasoline? Extraction, refinement, transportation... Amortized production of the vehicle. Pollution.
I would think the energy used in building roads would amortize down to nothing, but the valuable real estate taken up by road in some places certainly has a cost. If only considering energy efficiency, consider that folks might not have to walk a mile if things were closer together.

This is NOT a data point. It is a huge statistical signal.Wear masks. And require that others do so. zeynep tufekci: The incubation period for the COVID positive hairstylists in Missouri just ended. The two stylists and 140+ clients all wore masks. Not one person was infected. It's a data point. Let's hope this gets the same attention that the the original alarm got. https://www.springfieldmo.gov/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=6939 https://twitter.com/nntaleb/status/1270528973420867586 #Cuba #Missouri #Springfield

Did you hear about the mathematician that was afraid of negative numbers????
She will stop at nothing to avoid them.
