That's a funny choice, I thought Europe was done with SMS. I can see this 1-to-1 mapping with other cellphone derived messaging like Whatsapp, etc being an issue for privacy but it's certainly possible to have multiple phones.

How would internet access in a coffee shop be traced to the specific user?

Waves at Midway Atoll and Guam are reported to be 3ft (1m) amplitude by Hawaii Governor Josh Green as of 6:24pm Hawaii Time

Do not stay in Haleiwa or go to Waikiki. Consult a map, and find some uphill areas above 100ft to drive to. Drive towards Mililani and wait it out in the upland areas.

My kids are at camp right now on the North Shore and are being evacuated by bus to Mililani.

I've been using Radio Garden for years.

A tip that took me a while is you have to click the place name for larger locations to get a list of all stations.

Try music from Dakar, Senegal or Guinea-Bissau. Super funky music. There used to be a station called Radio Gumbe, but I can't find it any more.

I'd love a plugin to MS Flight Sim 2020 which would play a local radio station as I fly over any location in the world.

The worst part is having the immersion interrupted by localized ads for a US car dealer, credit card or VPN service. I guess one could pass custom location information to Radio Garden however...

I also find this so good to get context on the opinion on the US from outside the US, listening to call-in radio news shows from the UK, for example.

As if my ATI video card doesn't lose its Windows driver every other reboot.

I saw trained pigeons flying from my hotel rooftop in Wuhan when I visited in 2001. Someone on another building was commanding them to fly in patterns with flags. I don't recall if there were any whistles involved, but it was a really captivating sight to watch that I have never seen since.

I made the mistake early in our startup of spending several months and quite a bit of cash building our first iot product on the Intel Edison platform, only to get zero support on the bugs in the SPI chip and the non-existent (but advertised) microcontroller. We finally gave up and made our own boards based on another SOM (and eventually stopped building boards entirely) and they rather unceremoniously cancelled the Edison in 2017. I guess nobody else was surprised, but I had naively thought the platform did have potential and a huge company like Intel would support the things they sold.

Weird. There is little that depresses me more than watching my wife sit at the table for hours a day slowly scrolling Facebook while ignoring me and the kids. We have talked about it and she's tried to reduce it to no avail.

Back in my day the arrogant devs just used printer paper and a hand drawn sign saying "GO AWAY!" taped to the back of their chair.

Use a password manager, like 1password to securely encrypt and store your secure information, including cc info, so that you don't have to store it in your browser. 1password can fill in your browser fields for you.

My favorite German food is Turkish. My favorite British food is Lebanese.

I think we can talk about it. If you lived in Taiwan you would want it talked about. If you live in Greenland you would want your concerns talked about.

Watershed moments of rapid change such as these can be democratizing, or not... It is worth standing up for little guys around the globe right now.
