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.

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 , also called , 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!

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. springfieldmo.gov/CivicAlerts. twitter.com/nntaleb/status/127 #Cuba #Missouri #Springfield

Did you hear about the mathematician that was afraid of negative numbers????

She will stop at nothing to avoid them.

@freemo here's a list of suggestions for improving the police situation which I saw compiled in the NYT Morning Briefing a week-ish ago:

"""
Samuel Sinyangwe of Campaign Zero, a group formed after Brown’s death: Restrict chokeholds, train officers to de-escalate conflicts and prohibit them from shooting at moving vehicles, among other steps.

A 2019 California law: Change the standard for when an officer can legally use deadly force, from one based on a “reasonable belief” of imminent danger to one in which a later review finds it “necessary.”

Jennifer Cobbina, Michigan State University: Implicit-bias training for officers and “frank engagement between law enforcement and the people they serve to address tensions, grievances and misconceptions.”

David French, National Review: Acknowledge that “many controversial police shootings are lawful and justifiable” but also stop accepting excuses and cover-ups for those that are not.

Chuck Wexler, Police Executive Research Forum: Train officers to intervene when a colleague “may be on the brink of using excessive force,” as Los Angeles and New Orleans are doing.

Protip: If your 2 year old just wants to do "1 hide [and seek]" before going to sleep, make sure you are the one doing the seeking, not the hiding.

"Newark, New Jersey’s largest city, made no arrests and reported only minimal property damage during a weekend march."

This is a bit about how.
