It's also why we're talking about this.

I took a CCNA 200-301 class on udemy to learn all that stuff.

I didn't even think of it when I wrote the original reply, but if the locations share power grid wires internally you can always g.hn over that copper to get the connection through the wall.

I don't doubt for one second that you're right about this being prevalent as well. Tom Selleck sure tries his best to talk more boomers into this line of thinking.

No sorry it does need line of sight :/

Mikrotik wireless wire? Sub $200 wireless link. It's a pair, not an ap. Anyway - it does what it says on the tin.

Haha teaching others how to behave online .... Oh my.

This. The amount of gaudy 2 story mansions that's standing vacant while delapitated and for sale. Most of them end up as rentals as they don't sell, and deteriorate even more in value as they're not cared for. Add this to the inevitable fire insurance quotes you'll get for owning in a place that can accommodate such a monstrous build and it all comes out extremely wasteful and risky.

No. My point was that 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) are not the same thing. The important point to note in this case is: "501(c)(4) organizations may engage in unlimited lobbying in furtherance of their social welfare purposes."

"The more generous limit of non-exempt activity permissible to a 501(c)(4) explains why a 501(c)(4) organization may engage in substantial amounts of political campaign intervention activities even though the regulations make clear that such activities do not constitute the promotion of social welfare."

It's less pedantic and more: you can call a fork a spoon all you want, until you have to eat soup with it.

Right, not the same as 501(c)(3), was my point exactly.

My understanding is that they're registered as a charitable organization, not a non-profit. These terms are often used interchangeably, but from a tax and earnings perspective they mean different things. This is often further confused with not-for-profit organizations, which is yet another thing.

I replied to (a comment) and tried to contrast how a state owned power grid can still have profit models attached and function both technically and for it's intended customers.

You're interpretation of it isn't wrong. You're still wrong in asserting that it wasn't presentes as a fact in the article. It clearly, linguistically is.

Beervirus is stealing my time by arguing nonsense.

See? Clearly presented as fact by the language used and yet clearly it's nonsense. No label necessary.

Statnett, a state owned entity operated by the energy ministry, runs the Norwegian grid.

I grew up in Norway. As a grid customer I could shop around for the best power company that fit my situation (e.g. solar? Apartment?). Norway is covered in snow 8-9 months of the year. I think what you're describing is a problem with money not reaching infrastructure investment locally for whatever reason: not public owned infrastructure issues in general.

I honestly think the article skims this point in an effort to focus on the bare necessary information to communicate this to relatively non-technical people.

I haven't done any research on this particular system/device myself. I skimmed this article and just finished the Twitter thread about the other product designed to count people.

Beyond the boogeymen watching the feed threat, this device itself can easily be taken over given the relaxed/non-existent security mentioned (everyone getting admin). This can in turn lead to all kinds of shenanigans ...

You denote the end of the era. I assume you understand why it ended.

It's written as a statement, not as a figure of speech. If it's not intended to be factual, it should be annotated as such. It literally claims theft as it stands, which makes the article seem juvenile in use of language.

Being a figure of speech has little to do with the statement being factually incorrect.

"..., stealing users from WhatsApp ..."

Genuinely curious about this statement. Is it tantamount to theft if the user migrates by choice?

I'm thinking McCarthyism as an example makes it good advice either way.

Inversely, they took a position exploiting pretty much exactly what you describe from a hedge fund, and the only reason it didn't work was that it got shut down by powers from above.

I think so. Some examples of places where this has impact but is often overlooked could be when you change car brand. Or if you go from one phone OS to another. The UX features will be slightly different, and there will be a learning curve.

Pulling down to update on feeds/pages/apps is as natural as clicking icons by now.

I could be wrong but this sounds more like NAT port issue given the frequency and static lease agreement on IP.

They arrested a bunch of people in Michigan over a plot on the governor, no? We moved out of the theory a while ago.

Logs are not transferred to new devices either. Presumably disappearing messages are not left in the encrypted db file(?).

Actually, no. Retributive justice is not something LE usually gets involved in (within civilized democracies). It is left for the courts. The way she was arrested isn't normal, nor necessary. But I suspect that was the point.

Even if you believe retributive justice is to be doled out by LE, one of its own principles is: "It is morally impermissible intentionally to punish the innocent or to inflict disproportionately large punishments on wrongdoers."

And I'm not buying that guns-drawn arrest with kids present is necessary. Dead serious.
