Dipping a toe. I have some understanding of the most elementary fluid dynamics and thermodynamics, some practical physics and organic chemistry. I'd like to do a little passive learning if I can, with a view to learning programming later in life. We all see the same truth through a different paradigm, but sometimes math helps us better see and understand and convey the same thing. What a lovely backbone upon which to build a body of communication and thought. I treasure this server.

Last Notes npub1jh3pszlz7hc9rk0tnjat7fau84rj73v8uc5neweyvkgrr065v0yq4tpafg doboprobodyne Interesting! Formal description of the martial perspective of this (I think perhaps the same or certainly closely related) system is largely attributed to Kurt von Hammerstein-Equord. npub1jh3pszlz7hc9rk0tnjat7fau84rj73v8uc5neweyvkgrr065v0yq4tpafg doboprobodyne Interesting you should mention restaurants. I've read of public review sites for universities catching on. To be sure I'm not suggesting they're a perfect solution; going solely by users' reviews of any specialist service usually has the catch that the user purchased the service because they themselves are not subject matter experts. They may struggle to fully understand what they see. The classic medical example is a surgeon with a higher mortality rate might look bad to the public, but a specialist might realise that surgeon is willing to offer the chance of surgery to frail or sick patients that other surgeons would turn down. npub1jh3pszlz7hc9rk0tnjat7fau84rj73v8uc5neweyvkgrr065v0yq4tpafg doboprobodyne I follow @npub1szz…t4fx who sells amusing warning stickers, including - my favourite - one with an (I assume crypto or radar maths?) equation in a yellow warning triangle, and under it the text to the effect of: "Caution: this sticker is classified as a munition under US export law". npub1jh3pszlz7hc9rk0tnjat7fau84rj73v8uc5neweyvkgrr065v0yq4tpafg doboprobodyne There's a huge problem to my mind; the author of the page to which you link highlights it, and it is that passing this sort of stuff as terrorism means we need a new name for actual paramilitary groups like ISIS or (at a push) the Provisional IRA. npub1jh3pszlz7hc9rk0tnjat7fau84rj73v8uc5neweyvkgrr065v0yq4tpafg doboprobodyne Just a thought, from a knuckle-dragging biology scientist. TL;DR: I believe there is scope to make the hosting of a peertube instance even more lightweight in the future. npub1jh3pszlz7hc9rk0tnjat7fau84rj73v8uc5neweyvkgrr065v0yq4tpafg doboprobodyne Rather! I'd far prefer to be policed in a regional population and by a regional force. If the Israelis chose the Met, that to me rings alarm bells to the same degree as the Met officers accepting the offer 🤣 npub1jh3pszlz7hc9rk0tnjat7fau84rj73v8uc5neweyvkgrr065v0yq4tpafg doboprobodyne I was a bit surprised... I would be fascinated to know what police forces outside the Met thought about such things. npub1jh3pszlz7hc9rk0tnjat7fau84rj73v8uc5neweyvkgrr065v0yq4tpafg doboprobodyne Ah shoot, I missed that - thank you! Yes I think you have the right of it - a lightweight version for text-only use is probably the answer if someone wanted to go down this route (or swap file magic). npub1jh3pszlz7hc9rk0tnjat7fau84rj73v8uc5neweyvkgrr065v0yq4tpafg doboprobodyne I was just reading about #frugalComputing and found myself thinking of #Precursor npub1jh3pszlz7hc9rk0tnjat7fau84rj73v8uc5neweyvkgrr065v0yq4tpafg doboprobodyne I admire anyone who puts this much diligence into a chat-up line. npub1jh3pszlz7hc9rk0tnjat7fau84rj73v8uc5neweyvkgrr065v0yq4tpafg doboprobodyne I'm always deeply wary of anyone that isn't the Roman Empire trying to start a new salute (or reappropriate an old one). npub1jh3pszlz7hc9rk0tnjat7fau84rj73v8uc5neweyvkgrr065v0yq4tpafg doboprobodyne Okay I'm not sure if politics is a safe topic, so I'm going to try to stick to viewpoints that I'm modestly sure are pretty defensible. Wish me luck! npub1jh3pszlz7hc9rk0tnjat7fau84rj73v8uc5neweyvkgrr065v0yq4tpafg doboprobodyne I beg your pardon; I chose a dreadful way to convey my thinking. I merely meant to differentiate between things that can be demonstrated to exist or be objective laws, and things that are human constructs. npub1jh3pszlz7hc9rk0tnjat7fau84rj73v8uc5neweyvkgrr065v0yq4tpafg doboprobodyne While I agree that "Private Mention" is an awful term to use for the reasons you describe, would you forgive me if I opined that privacy and security and safety have very poorly-agreed-upon definitions (indeed I might go as far as to say that they aren't real at all, in the sense that no organism can exist in a state of complete safety, or complete security, or complete privacy)?
