| eikonos | best comment: "Did you know there's a source of EM radiation kids are exposed to that dwarfs wi-fi signals into insignificance? | May 18 06:05 |
| eikonos | The sun. | May 18 06:05 |
| eikonos | A gigantic, unshielded fusion reactor just HANGING in the sky!" | May 18 06:05 |
| qu1j0t3 | that's not exactly true | May 18 06:09 |
| qu1j0t3 | the characteristics of the radiation from the sun are completely different, or radio wouldn't work at all. | May 18 06:10 |
| qu1j0t3 | it's only "sort of true", as in "yes the sun sprays radiation of its own unique sort" | May 18 06:10 |
| qu1j0t3 | ..which is harmful, by the way... | May 18 06:11 |
| qu1j0t3 | so I wouldn't call that "surprise checkmate in comments" | May 18 06:11 |
| qu1j0t3 | also, inverse square law. | May 18 06:13 |
| qu1j0t3 | 93 million miles squared is a lot of miles. | May 18 06:13 |
| qu1j0t3 | while cell phone 2 cm from your brain is not a lot of miles. | May 18 06:13 |
| eikonos | but the sun is massive | May 18 06:16 |
| eikonos | that has to make up some of the distance | May 18 06:16 |
| qu1j0t3 | yes, it is! | May 18 06:16 |
| qu1j0t3 | do the math | May 18 06:16 |
| eikonos | plus, i can get a sunburn from the sun, and i've yet to experience anything similar from a cellphone | May 18 06:17 |
| qu1j0t3 | there are a hell of a lot of zeroes between 2cm and (distance to the sun in centimetres squared) | May 18 06:17 |
| qu1j0t3 | eikonos: so do the math | May 18 06:17 |
| qu1j0t3 | i'm saying it's certainly not a slam dunk. also, the characteristics of the radiation are different. | May 18 06:18 |
| eikonos | right | May 18 06:19 |
| qu1j0t3 | and the commenter scores a massive own goal because the sun's radiation _is very harmful_ | May 18 06:20 |
| qu1j0t3 | which doesn't , as they hoped, prove that _other radiation isn't_ | May 18 06:20 |
| qu1j0t3 | I would certainly cross-examine them on the inverse square law, though. | May 18 06:20 |
| eikonos | how different is AM/FM radio and wifi? | May 18 06:22 |
| qu1j0t3 | so I get 1.5e13 or 15000000000000 cm | May 18 06:22 |
| eikonos | are the same people worried about radio? | May 18 06:22 |
| qu1j0t3 | now, square that... | May 18 06:22 |
| qu1j0t3 | eikonos: again, inverse square law. | May 18 06:23 |
| qu1j0t3 | so I get a factor of about 1/2250000000000000000000000 | May 18 06:23 |
| eikonos | fair enough | May 18 06:24 |
| qu1j0t3 | now plug in sun's output in the wifi band | May 18 06:24 |
| qu1j0t3 | ...which i surmise isn't its peak output band | May 18 06:24 |
| qu1j0t3 | it's pointless to look at its UV light band, e.g., because the kids are already harmed by it, so the harm is additive, and UV damage is well studied | May 18 06:25 |
| qu1j0t3 | so for the purposes of the comment thread we should look at similar radio frequencies | May 18 06:25 |
| eikonos | okay… what kind of wifi encryption is the sun using? i can't join the network... | May 18 06:26 |
| eikonos | :P | May 18 06:26 |
| qu1j0t3 | dude, you need a Sun server | May 18 06:26 |
| qu1j0t3 | obv | May 18 06:26 |
| eikonos | hahaha | May 18 06:26 |
| qu1j0t3 | but I am sure it's WPA2 because my Linux box can't join it either :< | May 18 06:27 |
| eikonos | apparently some solar RF radiation is absorbed by the atmosphere | May 18 06:35 |
| eikonos | someone must have measured it during the day, then at night to get a baseline | May 18 06:35 |
| eikonos | anyway, i still think it's more likely that any actual illnesses are caused by stress or poor diet or whatever | May 18 06:37 |
| qu1j0t3 | there can't be too much of it, or like i said, radio wouldn't work | May 18 06:46 |
| qu1j0t3 | or wouldn't work during the day, etc. | May 18 06:47 |
| qu1j0t3 | speaking of which | May 18 06:47 |
| qu1j0t3 | it's night-time, i should go | May 18 06:47 |
| qu1j0t3 | i get annoyed at bugs in textbooks | May 18 06:48 |
| qu1j0t3 | and textbooks that rush explanations and rush exercises | May 18 06:48 |
| qu1j0t3 | like this one seems to do | May 18 06:48 |
| qu1j0t3 | there's not much recourse :[ | May 18 06:48 |
| qu1j0t3 | even though the authors nominally hang out here on irc | May 18 06:48 |
| qu1j0t3 | they're never around | May 18 06:48 |
| qu1j0t3 | and when they are, don't seem to take complaints too seriously | May 18 06:49 |
| eikonos | "i'll keep that in mind for the second edition..." | May 18 06:52 |
| eikonos | night | May 18 06:53 |
| qu1j0t3 | nite | May 18 07:13 |

| TechrightsSocial | @schestowitz@joindiaspora.com reshared: I've spent the last week evaluating replacement OS's for my geriatric #Macbook Core Duo (2006 vintage). Toward that end, I installed #Debian #Wheezy on a USB drive (which proved non-trivial to boot--use #rEFIt and MBR partition to get it working), and lived with it for a few days. For nostalgic reasons, I hoped that Debian would work well, as it was the first distribution I really spent time wi | May 18 17:25 |
| schestowitz | Yes, Debian requires some amount of effort to set up and configure, but once it's done - you're just done forever. | May 18 17:25 |
| schestowitz | However, I wouldn't blame Debian exclusively. It's Gnome that makes things harder and less stable. People - get off that sinking ship! Choose something more stable and modular, like XFCE and you will be good to go. | May 18 17:25 |
| schestowitz | Anyway, nice read. And yes, Linux Mint is a cool alternative for novices or people who don't have too much time to configure other basic versions of GNU/Linux distro. | May 18 17:25 |

| schestowitz | @marc, I mostly agree with you regarding Gnome, but I wanted to give it a chance. For my part, I am willing to do some hacking to make a system work well... but, when I see "signal 11" too many times in .xsession-errors, I know that it's an uphill battle. | May 18 17:26 |
| schestowitz | I want to see Debian succeed, and I understand the massive challenge of getting a release out the door, as well as the inevitable instability that will be present early in a new release. New/novice users, however, have no time for "my printer doesn't work," and this sort of problem will continue to be a barrier to wider adoption of #FOSS. | May 18 17:26 |

| schestowitz | Interview: How Ray Kurzweil Plans To Revolutionize Search At Google - Forbes | May 18 22:07 |

| schestowitz | Q: How will you apply that theory at Google? | May 18 22:07 |
| schestowitz | A: What I’ll be doing here is developing hierarchical methods specifically aimed at understanding natural language, extracting semantic meaning … actually developing a way to represent and model the semantic content of documents to do a better job of search and answering questions. | May 18 22:07 |
| schestowitz | An increasing percentage of queries to Google are in the form of questions. The questions right now can’t have an indefinite complexity to them. But if we can actually model language in a hierarchical fashion, we can do a better job of answering questions and doing search in general, by actually modeling what all these billions of web pages are trying to say. - Robert Hof, Forbes | May 18 22:07 |

| schestowitz | "Similarly, without an open, unified network, the whole notion of business online would have been entirely feudal from the start. Instead, it only took a feudal turn around the turn of the century. These days, instead of websites on the open internet, people are more likely to create apps in proprietary stores or profiles on proprietary social media sites." | May 18 23:09 |
