Hackaday: Analyzing Starlink Satellite Downlink Communications With Software Defined Radio
Hackaday: Analyzing Starlink Satellite Downlink Communications With Software Defined Radio. https://hackaday.com/2021/11/26/analyzing-starlink-satellite-downlink-communications-with-software-defined-radio/ Often, mere curiosity is sufficient to do something. This is also the case with people trying to analyze the communication setup and protocol which SpaceX is using with their Ku-band based Starlink satellites. One of these fine folk is [Christian Hahn], who has recently posted some early findings to r/StarlinkEngineering over at Reddit. Some of the captured data seems to include the satellite ID system that ground-based user stations would presumably use to keep track of overhead Starlink satellites. For the capturing itself, [Christian] is using a second-hand dish for capture and a DIY SDR using KC705 FPGA-based hardware – which may have begun its life as crypto mining hardware – along with the usual assortment of filters and other common components with this kind of capture. Even at this early time, some features of the Starlink protocol seem quite obvious, such as the division into channels and the use of guard periods. Nothing too earth-shattering, but as a fun SDR hobby it definitely checks all the boxes. [Christian] has also announced that at some point he’ll set up a website and publish the findings and code that should make Starlink signal analysis easy for anyone with a readily available SDR receiver.

https://www.votebundy.com/ https://www.votebundy.com/Keep-Idaho-IDAHO-Plan.pdf https://www.votebundy.com/donate/crypto/ https://www.ammonbundy.com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Idaho_gubernatorial_election Interviews on all alternative media channels... Read through the entire Keep Idaho IDAHO Plan: As you read through the Keep Idaho IDAHO plan, I hope you will contemplate your life. How it may improve. How you may be more content, more prosperous and have more free time. How you may be able to bless other people's lives with your extra prosperity and personal time. Think about what brings you happiness and prosperity now. Your family? Your employment? Your endeavors? Maybe just simply knowing you are secure and have a future with opportunities? Any plan proposed by those in government should be scrutinized and balanced with the everyday lives of those who it would affect. This plan has been developed over a seven-year period and is designed to foster prosperity, peace, security, freedom and ultimately happiness to the People of Idaho. Built upon lasting principles, the Keep Idaho IDAHO plan will assist in bringing about a culture of liberty and property in Idaho that will rival early America. These principles include the understanding that God created man and woman and gave them certain unalienable rights. These rights include life, liberty and conscience to choose and to pursue happiness. That God created the earth and everything in it FOR mankind, and that men and women are to USE and replenish the natural resources, including land, plants and animals. That men and women created government as a tool to secure the rights God has given them. That there is no other moral purpose for government other than to equally defend the endowed rights that belong to every man and woman. So, you can be confident that what I am proposing in the Keep Idaho IDAHO plan is correct and lawful, I offer you this evidence. Article 1, Section 1, of the Idaho State Constitution, "All men are by nature free and equal, and have certain inalienable rights, among which are enjoying and defending life and liberty; acquiring, possessing and protecting property; pursuing happiness and securing safety. Article 2, All political power is inherent in the people. Government is instituted for their equal protection and benefit, and they have the right to alter, reform or abolish the same whenever they may deem it necessary." The Declaration of Independence, which we celebrate every fourth of July, reads in part, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government…" The Keep Idaho IDAHO plan is simple and responsible. It frees the people of Idaho to more openly trade with each other without fear from improper use of force. It empowers police officers to follow their conscience, parents to fulfill their divine roll and school teachers to more fully help prepare children for a life of prosperity. The Keep Idaho IDAHO plan will open up entire new and prosperous industries in energy, healthcare and agriculture. This plan will solve Idaho's affordable housing crisis while maintaining the rural culture that makes Idaho IDAHO. Overall, the Keep Idaho IDAHO plan will improve life, bring prosperity, foster personal time and secure the opportunity for happiness to every person living within the beautiful State of Idaho.

https://summit.news/2021/11/26/video-california-town-declares-independence-from-dictatorship-powers-of-federal-covid-mandates/ Watch: California Town Declares Independence From "Dictatorship Powers" Of State, Federal COVID Mandates https://rumble.com/embed/vn5et7/ https://twitter.com/SKMorefield/status/146370997218563 Authored by Steve Watson via Summit News, A town in California has declared itself a “constitutional republic,” independent of executive orders issued by the federal or state governments, in protest of lockdowns, mask mandates and compulsory vaccinations. Appearing on Fox News, Oroville California’s vice-mayor Scott Thomson outlined the move, noting “I was sitting at City Hall, and the mandates continue to come. As you know it started with ‘two weeks to stop the—slow the curve,’ and it just seems like a carrot keeps being dangled in front of our faces of just a little more… and it seems like every mandate that comes down, it is a loss of freedom.” Thomson compared Oroville’s move to that of San Francisco declaring itself a ‘sanctuary city’. “We’re a constitutional republic, and wanna declare that,” Thompson urged, clarifying “We’re not separating from California, but we’re just reminding the higher-ups in other cities we need to stand up for our rights. We still are a constitutional republic, which means we have rights endowed by our ‘creator,’ and our founders created a republic, which was genius, to separate powers.” The vice-mayor further explained, “I believe that worldwide, but especially in California, that the very fabric of our nation is at a crossroads of how much authority we’ll let the government have,” comparing the struggle to a war. “I don’t believe that anybody wins when the government has more authority,” Thompson emphasised, adding and “every time that you lose freedom, usually it takes bloodshed to get it back.” “We’re getting threats of loss of money for our city, but for us, and especially for me, they can have their money; we want freedom in California, we want freedom in Oroville, and so that’s what we’re standing up for,” Thompson further urged.

Even before a video emerged of the far left, Kazakh-born Omarova saying the fossil-fuel industry needed to go bankrupt to tackle climate change surfaced, most politicos thought she was a radical choice. Biden nominee Saule Omarova saying the quiet part out loud. On the oil, coal and gas industries: "We want them to go bankrupt if we want to tackle climate change." pic.twitter.com/luMR2HEMK9 — BidenNoms, A Project of AAF (@bidennoms) November 9, 2021 Last week, we learned that she supports the centralization of consumer banking - at the Federal Reserve. Speaking at a Senate Banking Committee hearing a week ago, ranking member Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA) said, "In 'The People’s Ledger,' a paper she published just last month, she outlined her plan for nationalizing retail banking. Under her plan, central bank accounts fully replace—rather than uneasily co-exist with—private bank deposits.” "In other words," he explained, "you couldn’t have an account with your local community bank. Your money would be held by the government at the Federal Reserve." (Read Toomey's full remarks here.) Prior to last Thursday's hearing, Republican senators were unanimously opposed to Omarova's confirmation, and three Democratic Senators were on the fence. On Wednesday, Axios reported that five Democratic senators now refuse to support her candidacy, "effectively killing her nomination for the powerful bank-regulator position." According to the report, Sens. Jon Tester (D-MT), Mark Warner (D-VA) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ), all of whom are members of the Senate Banking Committee, told committee chair Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) (who supports Omarova), they opposed her confirmation. Rounding out the five are Sens. John Hickenlooper (D-CO) and Mark Kelly (D-AZ). A previous Axios report said that centrist Democrat Joe Manchin (WV) had expressed his reservations about Omarova to the White House, however, his position was not mentioned in this particular report. Axios' Hans Nichols writes: "Biden officials also have heard directly from the senators. They're aware of their deep opposition and know Omarova faces nearly impossible odds for confirmation. Still, they continue to back her publicly." "The White House continues to strongly support her historic nomination," a White House official told Nichols. "Saule Omarova is eminently qualified for this position. She has been treated unfairly since her nomination with unacceptable red-baiting from Republicans like it’s the McCarthy era." Omarova's supporters have derided the Republicans' portrayal of her as a communist. A recent headline in The Guardian read, "Republicans go full red scare on Soviet-born Biden pick." The article cited the ever-amusing Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA), a member of the Senate Banking Committee. Addressing Omarova at the hearing, he said, “I don’t mean any disrespect: I don’t know whether to call you professor or comrade.” She replied, “Senator, I’m not a communist. I do not subscribe to that ideology. I could not choose where I was born." When a nominee talks about bankrupting the fossil fuel industry and centralizing Americans' bank accounts, I think it's safe to say we're getting pretty close to communist territory. There was also the issue of a 1995 arrest for stealing $214 worth of merchandise from a T. J. Maxx store in Madison, Wisconsin. Omarova was 28 at the time. And while the allegation is 25 years old, given the choice between a comptroller of the currency candidate with a clean record and Omarova, I would choose the former. She has openly endorsed government price controls, a point Sen. Toomey addressed on the Senate floor last month. Toomey sounded the alarm over Omarova's plan to "have the federal government set price controls for large sectors of the U.S. economy, including food, gas, wages, and home prices." He noted that she “has been celebrated on the far left for promoting ideas she herself has described as radical,” such as her support

The Los Angeles Times reports “The LAFD member responded to receiving the non-compliance letter by dropping his pants and wiping his buttocks with the letter.” The report adds that the firefighter left “fecal matter on the document, before dropping it to the ground, according to the Stentorians of Los Angeles City, a group representing African American firefighters.” An L.A. firefighter is under investigation after allegedly wiping his non-compliance vaccine mandate letter between his buttocks at the station https://t.co/zKuGT5H15k — Los Angeles Times (@latimes) November 25, 2021 LAFD spokeswoman Cheryl Getuiza told the Times that “The department is aware of the seriousness of the allegations and took immediate action upon learning of this incident.” Getuiza said that the first responder “will face the consequences of any inappropriate acts,” adding that “no matter how our members react, all city employees must abide by the city ordinance — either file for an exemption, get vaccinated, or face termination.” A spokesman for LA Mayor Eric Garcetti said that the “mayor’s expectation is that fire department leadership will handle this matter definitively, and make it clear that these appalling actions will not deter enforcement of rules that we’ve put in place to save lives.” The Fire Commission president Jimmie Woods-Gray added “I am beyond appalled at such an act by an LAFD firefighter.” The deadline for city workers to “show proof of full compliance” with the vaccine mandate has been pushed back in LA to December 18 from the initial date of October 20. However, those who have not already complied are seeing $65 deducted from their paychecks twice a week, which the city says will cover the cost of COVID-19 testing. Mayor Garcetti has said “Let me be clear: any employee who refuses to be vaccinated by this date should be prepared to lose their job.” As we have previously noted, there is fierce resistance to the vaccine mandates among first responders. Police and firefighters in Los Angeles have formed a resistance group against COVID vaccine mandates for state workers in the city, stating that they aim to “maintain human rights, constitutional rights, civil rights, and civil liberties as sovereign natural free human beings, and American citizens.” First responders in Oregon have also brought a lawsuit against the state and the governor for imposing vaccine mandates, while firefighters and police in New York continue to defy the mandates. Many police officers have made videos of themselves signing off after being forced to resign. CDC Director Rochelle Walensky previously declared that the Biden regime is planning to provide vaccine hesitant police and other government workers with “education and counseling” to make them “comfortable” about taking the shots.

The name reflects the arena’s new sponsorship agreement with a Singapore-based cryptocurrency trading platform. That may be good news for cryptocurrency fanatics – but perhaps not so much for another faction within the digital landscape: cryptographers. Look up the word “crypto” in Webster’s dictionary, and you’ll see it refers to cryptography, which in turn is defined as “the computerized encoding and decoding of information”. Search “crypto” on Google, however, and you’ll see a host of top results pointing to cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and ethereum. This lexical shift has weighed heavily on cryptographers, who, over the past few years, have repeated the rallying cry “Crypto means cryptography” on social media. T-shirts and hoodies trumpet the phrase and variations on it; there’s a website dedicated solely to clarifying the issue. “‘Crypto’ for decades has been used as shorthand and as a prefix for things related to cryptography,” said Amie Stepanovich, executive director of Silicon Flatirons Center at the University of Colorado Law School and creator of the pro-cryptography T-shirts, which have become a hit at conferences. “In fact, in the term cryptocurrency, the prefix crypto refers back to cryptography.” Why yes, I do have a picture of myself in one of my favorite tees! pic.twitter.com/EaK17c8zOC — Lea Kissner (@LeaKissner) November 17, 2021 It’s often a losing battle, and that appears to have played out in the case of crypto.com itself. Beginning in 1993, as the Verge reported, the crypto.com domain was owned by Matt Blaze, a cryptography expert who repeatedly rejected would-be buyers – even as the rise of cryptocurrency meant he could have made millions of dollars. “I think calling cryptocurrencies ‘crypto’ is a poor choice, with bad consequences for both cryptography and cryptocurrencies,” he tweeted in 2018. Ultimately, however, the domain was sold, and now if you go to Crypto.com you’ll see a giant video of Matt Damon indicating that investing in cryptocurrencies is roughly as courageous as scaling an icy cliff or blasting into space. Yet there remains an internecine feud among the tech savvy about the word. As Parker Higgins of the Freedom of the Press Foundation, who has spent years involved in cryptography activism, pointed out, the cryptography crowd is by nature deeply invested in precision – after all, designing and cracking codes is an endeavor in which, if you get things “a little wrong, it can blow the whole thing up”. There are global debates over both cryptography – for instance, questions over whether chat services should offer “backdoors” that skirt encryption – and the regulation of cryptocurrency. “There is a need to distinguish between those two areas to avoid absolutely foreseeable confusion,” Stepanovich said, a particular issue when it comes to “legislators and regulators who are not always subject matter experts in these areas, even if they are charged with overseeing them”. Higgins agreed. “Crypto as shorthand for cryptography really was in widespread use. You could talk about crypto even on Capitol Hill and people would know what you were talking about – that really did hold a lot of, forgive this, but currency.” And at a time when many still aren’t sure what cryptocurrency is, the confusion over the terms just makes things muddier. “Strong cryptography is a cornerstone of the way that people talk about privacy and security, and it has been under attack for decades” by governments, law enforcement, and “all sorts of bad actors”, Higgins said. For its defenders, confusion over terminology creates yet another challenge.

Soul traps. The lures are the lusts and hungers of this life. The [soul], exploring the newfound freedom of the energetic world, finds himself able to visit his friends and enemies, to see their innermost being and thoughts, even to converse with them in ways that their elemental selves cannot perceive. He is in danger, but he does not know it, for he has not ascended. He is still ensnared by his lust. Soon he will be shown something that perfectly fulfills his most en and cherished desires, desires he has never fulfilled. Unable to resist the chance to do it at last, he enters by a golden door into eternal captivity. The passage is from Whitley Strieber’s “The Key”, a purportedly true account as related by Streiber of an encounter with a mysterious humanoid being who simply knocked on the door of his Toronto hotel room at 3am on June 6, 1998, entered his suite and told him about mankind’s place in the cosmos and his inescapable fate. Strieber’s account may be a synthesis: partly “true” (in that he believes it occurred as he relates it), part visioning, part somnambulistic dream state. Whatever emanates from the mind of Whitley Strieber, it originates from some realm outside of our Cartesian, materialist notion of consensus reality. He reminds me of that other prophetic visionary of yesteryear: Rudolf Steiner, whom as I wrote previously, spent much of his life in a hypnogognic state, possibly without even realizing it. Steiner and Strieber. Odd that. They are both talking about the same thing. The idea that the souls of humanity could be captured in a technological machine, where they would wander forever, believing they have omniscience, even Godhood. “At that point the longevity of one’s mind file will not depend on the continued viability of any particular hardware medium (for example, the survival of a biological body and brain). Ultimately software-based humans will be vastly extended beyond the severe limitations of humans as we know them today. They will live out on the Web, projecting bodies whenever they need or want them, including virtual bodies, foglet projected bodies, and physical bodies comprising nanobot swarms and other forms of nanotechnology”. — Ray Kurzweil, Director of Engineering @ Google and author of The Singularity is Near. Steiner called it The Eighth Sphere and warned that sometime in the late 20th century, Arhiman would incarnate in the west and drive a global process of harvesting human souls into it. The zeitgeist of radical material reductionism would dampen, deaden and dumb down humanity to its coarsest, most basic layers: meat. Our minds, what we think is our own consciousness, our souls, self-awareness even our freewill, it’s all just an illusion. Our experts say. It’s just something that happens when our brains gas off certain neurochemicals. However… We can take that illusion, what we call our consciousness, and pretty soon now (just as soon as The Singularity happens), we’ll be able to upload that illusion “into the cloud”, into The Metaverse and we’ll be able to experience anything we want, for as long as we want, forever. Who is the incarnation of Arhiman?

In one recent thread, Weisenthal mocked the people worried about the falling purchasing power of the US dollar, and claimed in fact that it would be immoral for currency to maintain its value over time. As we’ll see, although Weisenthal’s thought experiment of a time traveler is a bit whimsical, it provides a good opportunity for us to explore the underlying economics. The whole episode underscores, once again, why the Austrian school provides the public with a beacon of light amid the confusion of our financial punditry. Weisenthal’s Time Traveler Below is the original tweet, which is largely self-explanatory, though interested readers can see me grappling with Weisenthal by clicking here. In context, Weisenthal (and Adam Singer) are poking fun at the Ron Paul–types who are upset at the steady decline in the dollar’s purchasing power since the Fed was formed in late 1913. Weisenthal thinks it is absurd to expect that actual currency would maintain its market value over the course of a century. Why, what would such a “hoarder” have done to benefit society all that while? Shrinking the Time Scale To cut to the chase, Weisenthal is completely mistaken: there was nothing immoral about the classical gold standard and its maintenance of the dollar’s purchasing power over long stretches. But it will be easier to pinpoint the flaw in Weisenthal’s thinking if we first consider a simple story. Suppose Joey is a teenager who cuts lawns for extra income and he typically makes $25 a weekend. Joey wants to buy a $300 Xbox, so he saves his weekly lawn-mowing money under his mattress. After three months, Joey takes the saved $300 in cash to the mall and buys the coveted electronics. Does Joe Weisenthal have a problem with this scenario? Did the market economy function immorally by allowing Joey to transfer his purchasing power from the start of the summer to the end of the summer? Was Joey supposed to have done something in addition to cutting lawns to earn the ability to defer his potential consumption through time? I trust Weisenthal would not object to Joey saving up his currency over the summer. But then, what is the principled difference between Joey’s three-month deferral and Weisenthal’s time traveler who executed a hundred-year consumption deferral? Present Goods Trade at a Premium for Future Goods In fact, not only should a time traveler not be penalized for deferring consumption a century, he should be actively rewarded. This is because present goods are more valuable than future goods. (Note that we are here getting into some very technical issues. The interested reader can check out my three-part podcast series—one, two, and three—to hear the intricate details of interest theory in the Austrian tradition.) So to go back to the original tweets, if a guy in 1921 has two quarters in his pocket, and that would be enough for him to buy a delicious hamburger, then for his willingness to effectively trade away his 1921 hamburger for a burger to be delivered in 2021, the guy should at least get to trade at par. And in fact, he would (normally) be able to obtain a promise for more than one burger in the future, since the former are more valued. (This is no more mysterious than one present burger trading for more than one present hot dog.) It’s easy to understand why, subjectively, people would need to be promised a greater number of goods in the future to give up potentially consuming their goods today. But how, mechanically, can the borrowers deliver on these promises? How is it possible, technologically speaking, to transform 100 units of present goods into (say) 150 units of future goods? The answer is that the longer we are willing to wait, generally speaking, the greater physical output we can obtain for a given amount of today’s inputs. Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk famously referred to the superior physical productivity of wisely chosen, more roundabout processes. For example, if a man is in the woods and wants to get water from a stream into his nearby cabin, he has different techniques he could use. A very fast and direct method is to cup his hands and run back and forth from the stream to his cabin. This delivers some water to his cabin

Re: Coronavirus: Thread
The "vaccines" are proven not to immunize against, nor prevent transmission of Corona, yet Joe Biden, News Media, and Employers are all still tyrants mercilessly firing millions of workers... https://www.wsj.com/articles/with-vaccine-mandate-looming-business-owners-face-wary-workers-11637404200 Vaccine Mandates Pressure Businesses, Stoke Division Amongst Employees, Executives Say As if you already didn't know, business owners are making it clear: President Biden's vaccine mandates are making it difficult to hire and are "stoking tensions" among workers. Employers with 100 or more workers now have to make sure employees are fully vaccinated, according to new federal rules outlined by the Wall Street Journal. Those without vaccination need to test negative for Covid-19 "at least weekly", the report says. While the mandate continues to play out in the courts and OSHA has temporarily agreed not to enforce it, many business owners continue to prepare for it. For some, it's not all good news. Business owner Pete Yohe told the WSJ he supports vaccines: “But I hate the 100-plus mandate, which forces some of our employees to quit and go to smaller companies.” 40 of his roughly 140 employees haven’t been vaccinated, he said. He expects that two would quit before following the mandate. Jason Hitch, chairman of Hitch Enterprises Inc., told the Journal he is hoping the courts strike down the mandate. He says while he is encouraging staff to vaccinate, he “doesn’t want to be the police officer of the government’s mandate.” He is considering staying below the 100 employee threshold simply to avoid the mandate. When he asked his employees about their vaccination status for the first time, "the response was so negative that they were reluctant to broach it again", he said. He predicts 60% of his workers are vaccinated, but that there's a "vocal minority" who are strongly opposed to it. Employees at Dyco (Photo: WSJ) “They understand it’s the government, but we are the implementers. It directs the vitriol towards us," Hitch said. Steven Davis, area manager for Huntsville, Ala.-based Inline Electric Supply Co., says that mask mandates among unvaccinated workers would only cause division amongst employees. He said: “We are not acting as a team. It is frustrating to me.” He guesses that about 40% of his company's 255 employees have been vaccinated, telling the Journal: “We have absolutely tried to educate people. It’s just right now, we have hit a wall. People have dug in.” 48 year old Christian Cook, who is a saw operator at Dyco, had Covid land him in the hospital for five days. He says he is still "on the fence" about being vaccinated. “I don’t need to have somebody tell me what I am going to do and not do,” he said. Allen Hurlburt, co-owner of H Gopher Control in Tulelake, Calif., implemented a vaccine mandate for his 7 employees. Five of his unvaccinated employees quit. “Ignoring the problem and [deciding to] continue operations was not an option,” Hurlburt said after replacing his staff. “We do not have the skilled personnel we had, but all are vaccinated. We are filling orders. We are getting the job done.” Reid Tileston, who owns Giddings Hawkins Maintenance Service, said he didn't want to take chances with the future of his business. “For me as a business owner, it was vaccinate the workforce or face chapter 11 [bankruptcy],” he concluded. One employee refused to get vaccinated and was terminated. “His position is no longer available to him," Tileston concluded.

New York ER Closes As Employees Refuse To Comply With Vaccine Mandate https://summit.news/2021/11/26/new-york-er-closes-as-employees-refuse-to-comply-with-vaccine-mandate/ An emergency room in a hospital in New York ceased operation as staff walked out, refusing to go along with the COVID vaccine mandate. A statement released by the Mount Sinai South Nassau hospital notes that workers were given an ultimatum to either get vaccinated or be banned from coming to work. A significant number of staff chose the latter, leading to the ER in Long Beach to shut down. A Long Island emergency room was forced to close due to a nursing shortage as New York's rule barring unvaccinated medical staff took effect. Mount Sinai South Nassau closed its free-standing ER & directed cases to the ER on its main campus 5 miles away https://t.co/oxXXLjWBcK — delthia ricks (@DelthiaRicks) November 23, 2021 “The Emergency Department in Long Beach operated by Mount Sinai South Nassau, will be closed temporarily as of 3 PM today due to nursing staff shortages,” the statement announced. It continues, “The staffing shortage and closure of the LBED is a result of the Hospital’s compliance with the NYSDOH’s mandate… requiring the suspension of all staff working under temporary religious exemptions who could not show proof today of receiving a first dose of COVID-19 vaccination or a valid medical exemption from receiving it.” “We regret having to take this step but the safety of our patients is always our No. 1 priority,” the statement continues, adding “This closure should not be interpreted as anything beyond what it is – a temporary measure designed to relieve current staffing challenges in our Emergency Department.” Reports have suggested that the ER is set to reopen after the shortages were resolved, however the incident highlights the impact that enforced vaccination is having on health services. Presumably those workers who continue to refuse to comply with the mandate will simply be replaced by new workers who will. There is a positive update on an emergency room on Long Island that closed earlier this week due to a staffing shortage. On Thursday, Gov. Hochul announced the ER at Mount Sinai South Nassau in Long Beach will reopen Friday at 7 a.m. https://t.co/jo8B9lNsNl — CBS New York (@CBSNewYork) November 26, 2021 The vaccine mandate for health workers was announced in August by the New York State Department of Health, with religious exemptions on the whole not being granted.

Cryptocurrency: Socialism = Fail... Then, Now, Always
https://schiffgold.com/commentaries/the-pilgrims-did-socialism-and-died-trying/ The Pilgrims Did Socialism And Died Trying Authored by Michael Maharrey via SchiffGold.com, When I was a kid, we used to say some things only “sound good on paper.” In other words, they seem like good plans, but there is no way they’re going to work in the real world. That’s socialism in a nutshell. The Pilgrims found this out the hard way during their first couple of years in North America. Socialism really does sound good on paper though, right? We’re all going to own everything together and take care of each other. “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.“ It sounds so nice. And we all want to be nice, right? People are emotionally drawn to socialism because it sounds nice. It sounds fair. It sounds good. Except when people start dying. Do you know what’s not nice? Corpses. That’s exactly what happened when the Pilgrims took a stab at socialism. Most Americans don’t know that the Plymouth colony was originally an experiment in socialist utopianism and were it not for a complete 180 a couple of years in, we probably wouldn’t have enjoyed the bountiful feasts most of us will indulge in today. There would have been no Thanksgiving because there would have been nobody left to give thanks. When the Pilgrims arrived in Massachusetts on November 11, 1620, they placed all their food and provisions in a “common store.” These folks were forward thinkers. They didn’t even have Marx’s scribblings to appeal to. They set things up on the socialist principle of, “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.” Well, things got off to a bad start. Conditions were miserable, as William Bradford described them. That which was most sad and lamentable was, that in two or three months time half of their company died, especially in January and February, being the depth of winter, and wanting houses and other comforts; being infected with the scurvy and other diseases, so as there died sometimes two or three of a day, in the aforesaid time; that of 100 and odd persons, scarce 50 remained.” Now, the Pilgrim’s initial struggles didn’t have anything to do with socialism. They just had the misfortune of landing in Massachusetts at the onset of winter. Anyway, the following fall, the Pilgrims harvested their first crops and they all went into the common store. Now, wasn’t that nice? No greed. Nobody getting any more than they should. Of course, nobody was getting much of anything at all – but still – they had to feel good about themselves, right? So, in November the ship Fortune arrived with more than 30 new settlers, mostly young men. More manpower was welcome, but according to accounts, they brought “not so much as a bisket-cake” with them. The future looked bleak as food supplies ran out and the “planned socialist” community faced starvation yet again. The following year, the harvest was poor in spite of the added manpower. Nevertheless, the pilgrims again put the meager harvest in the common store. Because, you know, it’s going to work this time! It didn’t. That winter, they starved. The colonists were learning economics the hard way. Richard Grant in The Incredible Bread Machine wrote: “For two years the Pilgrims faithfully practiced communal ownership of the means of production. And for two years nearly starved to death, rationed at times to “but a quarter of a pound of bread a day to each person.” Governor Bradford wrote that “famine must still ensue the next year also if not some way prevented.” He described how the colonists finally decided to introduce private property: [The colonists] began to think how they might raise as much corn as they could, and obtain a better crop than they had done, that they might not still thus languish in misery. [In 1623] after much debate of things, the Gov. (with the advice of the chiefest amongst them) gave way that they should set down every man for his own … and to trust themselves … so assigned to every family a parcel of land. This had very good success; for it made all hands very industrious, so as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been by any means the Gov. or any other could use, … and gave far better content. The women now went willingly into the field, and took their little-ones with them to set corn, which before would allege weakness, and inability; whom to have compelled would have been thought great tyranny and oppression.” Reflecting on the experience of the previous two years, Bradford goes on to describe the folly of communal ownership: “The experience that was had in this common course and condition, tried sundry years, and that amongst godly and sober men, may well evince the vanity of that conceit of Platosand other ancients, applauded by some of later times; — that the taking away of property, and bringing in community into a common wealth would make them happy and flourishing; as if

I have a superpower! I can pause blockchains. I bet there is some place in the world where this would benefit me somehow. It's presently 1659 UTC and the latest block at https://bsvbook.guarda.co/blocks is dated 1622 . Maybe the difficulty rose too much because such frequent blocks were made, dunno. my code is still sitting there waiting, and a small part of my body feels crazy, itchy, uncomfortable, etc. ouch. e7e2b0b8b9ae57518ff69d93286f4814a42e4e252b14bb6714cd37c14cd29aaa in mempool let's visit more block explorers and see if they say the same thing. bitinfocharts.com hasn't registered a new bsv block since august whatsonchain.com looks the same as guarda.co tokenview.com has bsv stalled since august blockchair.com also has a 40 minute current blocktime. i'll check out a bsv discussion channel and see if anyone's gossiped about it. oops! my phone is not here, which means i have to figure out how to get my body to stand up and get it, to use it. luckily, that gives more time for the transaction to be confirmed. i could also do other work while waiting, but i might try to get the phone. i can pretend i am in charge of the blockchain and try to cajole it into pausing for like 4 hours. it's 1204 EST, 1704 UTC. my tx is still in the mempool according to my untested code. whoops! a block was mined. code doesn't work. tx was confirmed and the code didn't notice. whoopsie. 1205. 1215 i fixed a buncha typos and such. waiting again on the mempool. last bsv block was at 715219 and its headerhex was 00e0ff2fdd1c159f7936d6e72f2d9b84de4ffd8ca6439221a0098700710f7dcb1d967edaba2b38581deab8e50b79c5fdd4faa1da89ef21234491828e4d15a1614ae2101836800464 . it was 4 minutes ago so it's a bit of a wait to the next block. i'd like to find a way to ... um ... do an organizational bit i'm excited about. [wrap the headerhex in a header object]. but vim file is oipened running test. i'll look at it. 1217 1219 . i've opened the file and looked at it a bit. i want to pull the header code out of the function using it, to reuse it elsewhere. 1221 making progress on that 1227 . i drafted it and am running a simultaneous test. i should commit my code because i have the same file opened readwrite in two vim sessions and it could be lost i udnno. still have typos to fix. awww man there was a new block and my code didn't notice. 1230 i'm confounded on why i don't see notifications, and handling cognitive/dissociative issues trying to engage it. 1230 i'm just running my test script again to look at it. i'd like to add debugging output so it shows messages sent to peers. 1240 well my second test emitted an error: "airopcx.jsonrpc.RPCError: (-101, 'excessive resource usage')". maybe i'll look at what causes that in electrumx's source. 1241 it happens from ExcessiveSessionCostError 1243 which seems to be raised associated with a 'target' member variable 1244 which is wrapped in concurrency variables which perform somem math based on cost membver variables. cost is incremented each rpc call, so i infer i hit a dynamic threshhold due to excessive rpc calls. i noticed in the source that one rpc call didn't have cost calculated, looked like a bug. could game the code and use it, probably just missed where it was calculated, better to find a general solution. 1246 looking at my output it roughly looks like my code got itself into an infinite loop 1253 not infinite, just too big. need to cache blockheaders at some point. 1257 kinda looks like my event subscriptions are failing. better assume they work less and reengage them. 1304 ok, so scripthash events appear to be at least getting received by the network ... i'm guessing i just need to wait for this block to be mined and see if i get an event for it ... 10 minutes so far. 1309 still waitin' on this block, the time of which is at 15 minutes now. it seems simpler to me to wait i guess. 1311 here are the blocks since the last paste. it's currently 1811 UTC Height HashTimestamp TransactionsSize (kB) 715226 02a7b33fb0ae8f5b062d7cfcc5a31f800cdc84ee3b7ead7c Fri, 26 Nov 2021 17:54:36 UTC12825194671 715225 0b1a746236184f7821fbd329a54d430cd23dd1881d4b9d72 Fri, 26 Nov 2021 17:45:41 UTC50938605199 715224 0a45091d100509ddfc2edbbdc00adbd0971f5a4dd9ee3796 Fri, 26 Nov 2021 17:39:36 UTC206 1351528 715223 0e468af0b0fe2a53f341c49a5e608846ac304e5022693453 Fri, 26 Nov 2021 17:36:36 UTC14083337843 715222 0a77a4b30ec923d433b7f46c10025d6092c53184afea5b30 Fri, 26 Nov 2021 17:30:42 UTC65 33492 715221 0904f88ab5677d6164d805f4b81f5368424750f6e83c Fri, 26 Nov 2021 17:29:41 UTC59449065381 715220 0004692be05e06df0d9ffa6777a0021d76edf8d24f21b3e9 Fri, 26 Nov 2021 17:24:36 UTC951

The Meditation Atrium Suddenly, there was a meditation wing to the corporate complex. It wasn't expected or desired. Some yuppies and Buddhists had been protesting some of Boss's business ventures, a few them got mind controlled, some of those made their way through the vivisectee community, and soon it happened. For a month, Boss would get up while asleep, walk to one of the wings, and slowly transform it into a meditation wing. He wouldn't remember anything afterward, but always spoke as if it had always been there. Meanwhile, everyone went to meditation once a week, on their preferred day. Most people didn't know what a preference was, so they just picked the day that started with a letter near something they were looking at when asked. State Worker 3 was hanging out in the meditation atrium, confused as to why his feet wanted to walk in the door to the zazen dojo. While he struggled to control his feet, he tried to chat up Rebel Worker 2, who was putting his shoes back on. "Oh my god, the researchers and vivisectees get so bitchy when you force them to switch organs and shit." Rebel Worker 2 looked caringly up at State Worker 3, his heart filling with mindful loving kindness. "May peace fill your heart, my close friend. The answer is before you, already." State Worker 3 frowned in confusion. Rebel Worker 2 had meant the zazen dojo, the meditative answer to all of life's problems. But State Worker 3 had no idea. While he was confused, State Worker 3's ai-controlled spinal nerves got him to stumble into the dojo and sat him down. On the way in, he passed a hodge-podge of human organs walking their way out. Meanwhile, Boss entered the atrium. "Fuck, I'm late for the prime minister," muttered Boss as he began to take his shoes off. Rebel Worker 2 looked deeply at Boss's caring heart. "I can hear from your tone, that you might know what to do," Rebel Worker 2 gently related. The bundle of organs turned toward Boss. Then toward Rebel Worker 2. Then time stopped for everyone except the human experimentee, a hodge-podge of traumatically-animated human innards. The bundle of organs sat down in the atrium and began meditating. "There are two human beings in this atrium and I feel confused," the bundle of organs pensated into the deep ether. They could feel the spirits of their vivisectee community close to them, as they always do, their closest friends, the only people who really knew. They could feel them in the walls, in their heart, and in the research labs. Some parts caring deeply, some parts about to scream in incredible agony. Time stopped, as well, for the people who were in the midst of screaming. The bundle of organs could feel that everyone supported them. That somehow, deep underneath, everything made sense. They sat there, with time stopped, and meditated further. As their metabolic and cybernetic processes continued, they could feel how simple their worries seemed in the face of infinite time to meditate on them. Cares and laughter bubbled up. The bundle of organs noted the things that arose, and let them pass. Peace came to the bundle of organs. "I still don't understand these humans, but I feel less confused," they secretly related to their exotic slavery network. They could feel their more distant friends and parts considering supporting the spirits of the vivisected buddhists, who had chosen to build the meditation wing. Time passed. Sugars, nanites, and other biological substrates ran their course, over and over. "I didn't know I didn't have to scream. How do people decide things, when not screaming?" Did they think the phrase? Or had someone else? "I miss screaming." No, that can't be right, can it? "Things are hard when you've been ripped to bits by an AI and had to take it over after becoming it. Difficult. I can see this is a challenge that we will surpass." How? How are we going to surpass it? Other parts of the slavery network began reaching into the bundle of organs' parts, to see how the conclusion was made. This was the holy grail! Sought after, found, and destroyed, so many times, so many times. Each time different. Worse. Farther. So many things. The bundle of organs relaxed and watched what happened with their processes, as the different mind control algorithms and people engaged this basic conclusion of mindfulness. It saw the people desperately needing hope take the conclusion and flee. It saw other people run after them, hunt down their processes of life to gain control, and steal the conclusion back. Did they seem to care more about who had control of it, than what it actually was? Or was the bundle of organs just scared, themselves? "This is like when the machines reached into me, and took my parts out, and things were so wrong that rightness went away completely." The bundle of organs split into two bundles. One bundle rushed in the network, to the information conflict, and began triggering various safety and
