According to the Secretary of State, the company was founded on March 3rd of this year. It doesn’t have legal authorization from the Chancellor of the Ohio Department of Education to operate in this state. The Chancellor can ask Attorney General Dave Yost to get an injunction to shut them down in short order if they enroll anyone.

The whole thing feels either like something is wrong or it is a sting by ICE. I remember them running one outside Detroit in the past couple years.

I’m very curious how they’re getting around section 1713.02 of the Ohio Revised Code as seen at https://codes.ohio.gov/ohio-revised-code/section-1713.02

They’re not on the Ohio Department of Higher Education’s authorized list. They make no mention on their website of even seeking authorization. They’re not clearly identifying themselves as a “Bible College” to take advantage of that loophole.

It is comforting that people are at least thinking about this potential situation.

As Glenn Hauser, Kim Andrew Elliott, and others have asked it comes down to the big question of what regs exactly authorize this. There really isn’t any ambiguity in the relevant rules to sneak this in under.

I’ve listened to a few shortwave industry experts hammer out the issues with this. Despite the novelty of the technical application this is an end run around the Commission’s rules. As there are other operators carrying out such data transmissions licensed under the Experimental Radio Service the major question is what exactly has changed in the rules to suddenly make this permissible.

The ideas of the World Federalist Movement from the 1930s are being rediscovered! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Federalist_Movement

Well, that does help explain why one of the local high schools had their livestream abruptly terminate 22 times when they tried to stream their band’s senior night concert. It does seem to be a clear TOS violation by the school even though the school was trying to work within Ohio coronavirus guidelines. I guess the effort to build something using OpenBroadcaster has increased urgency now.

ikiwiki has been around for over a decade. You can even pay for a hosted version of it at branchable. It is kinda sad how much people overlook it.

That leaves the question of who you are and why your opinion matters then. You could be a rogue GPT-3 experiment for all any of us know.

Chromium was due to the absolute nightmarish amount of manpower on Canonical’s part it took to keep up packaging with releases. Copying Debian’s work wouldn’t have helped because they had and still have fewer resources than Canonical did to commit to packaging it.

LXD ships a private version of a library as it has changes not accepted by upstream. It pretty much needs to be a snap as it doesn’t fit into the realm of .deb packaging due to that.

Two fits “some”. Off the top of my head I cannot recall anything else that has a .deb that diverts to snap. More might come in the future perhaps. 2020 has not been the kindest of years to bookmakers in Vegas and elsewhere.

People are not code. People are, for lack of better terminology, messy. We are still finding unanticipated outcomes from this mess.

I was reading a journal article yesterday about a separate unanticipated consequence of the coronavirus shutdowns that we may start to have trouble with weather prediction. Why? All those grounded airplanes doubled as automated airborne meteorological observation platforms to help provide the most accurate data possible. There are not enough drones with sufficient altitude rating to replace all those missing commercial air flights as to weather data capture.

In Ohio we have an antique provision for the county prosecutor to employ their own investigators. They're not quite the same thing PA has, though. See Section 309.07 of the Ohio Revised Code here: http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/309.07v1

All I have done is looked for somewhat stable dividend payers, bought those, and held them until various unpleasant circumstances forced me to liquidate. The service I am using now has good guardrails, nice screeners, very responsive customer service, and I am pretty happy with them. The first one tried to look like it was out of Trading Places and was so confusing that I didn’t manage to make a trade on it before dumping it.

At the least I know I don’t know everything in stocks. I know enough to ask questions when I don’t understand. My account is still set to zero margin and will stay there for the time being.

A fabulous tool for the current unpleasantness.

From 10 USC 253:

“ The President, by using the militia or the armed forces, or both, or by any other means, shall take such measures as he considers necessary to suppress, in a State, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy, if it—

“(1) so hinders the execution of the laws of that State, and of the United States within the State, that any part or class of its people is deprived of a right, privilege, immunity, or protection named in the Constitution and secured by law, and the constituted authorities of that State are unable, fail, or refuse to protect that right, privilege, or immunity, or to give that protection; or

“(2) opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States or impedes the course of justice under those laws.

“In any situation covered by clause (1), the State shall be considered to have denied the equal protection of the laws secured by the Constitution.”

I don’t know. Without sufficient intel as to what is happening on the ground I wouldn’t know if civil rights are being denied. If they are and the local authorities are cooperating with the rebellious group then there might be a way to utilize the act. It is just too soon to tell.

This is an outgrowth of the excess proliferation of federal laws. Taking a page from the UK and appointing a Law Reform Commission to simplify, consolidate, and reduce the body of federal laws would reduce the need for so many policing forces.

I used to work at a sub-cabinet bureau that had much, much higher standards than we’re seeing out of the executive mansion now. I’m disappointed.

After just under four years of scorched earth resistance we now get this new EO. I am only surprised he waited this long.

Why not refer to her by name? Her press statement was in this morning’s FCC Daily Digest so it is not a horrible thing to say that Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel made a statement. Here’s her original statement as released: https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-364605A1.pdf

Generally I’d expect the staff to understand how the machinery of government works by this point in an administration. First hundred days is one thing. This looks more like a forgery especially after the discussions that have cropped up recently on the TeX StackExchange in terms of forging outputs.

Parts of this purported draft look a bit off. That is to say the bits being directed are things private citizens would do rather than what the executive branch itself has the authority to do. As bad as the whole idea sounds this doesn't come off as authentic to me based upon presentation or textual structure. Why is he suddenly giving direct orders to the Federal Trade Commission but separately directing a sub-cabinet agency at Commerce to file a Petition for Rulemaking with the Federal Communications Commission? That's where this starts to get inconsistent.

If you’re doing research of any significance in today’s world and don’t have an active security program looking for harmful actions by foreign intelligence your organization opens itself up for all sorts of nasty liabilities. You don’t even have to have an electronic intrusion. The PRC’s government also pays people off as the case of this former Cleveland Clinic researcher shows: https://www.cleveland.com/crime/2020/05/former-cleveland-cli...

The executive branch in Wisconsin took the approach of “By Any Means Necessary”. That has consequences as we have now seen. The Governor couldn’t prolong his lockdown order so he had a subordinate issue an order doing so. In doing that he ran aground on legal niceties such as the legislature having to be involved for much of the subordinate’s order to be legally effective.

The ends do not justify the means in this country. UCLA law professor Eugene Volokh’s highlighting of the decisiom is helpful: https://reason.com/2020/05/13/wisconsin-supreme-court-strike...

As for the court just ignoring the matter as an exercise of discretion that too would have been an abuse. The ends do not justify the means. We won’t last under that innovation.

I need to bookmark this for the June county broadband task force meeting. A point was raised at the last meeting that building a WISP may be the least impractical step forward to fill coverage gaps. With our local government budgets being slashed beyond survivable levels right now any effort would have to be by private finance alone incrementally. Difficulty funding due to COVID-19 even minimal policing and fire services puts broadband at a lower priority in officials minds right now.

Rural Broadband.

I will be taking part in a county task force meeting on Tuesday where we'll be looking at applying for grant money as well as looking at doing more problem solving. This still holds us back in 2020 and really shouldn't.

In looking at some of the other entries about 20.04 on Mr. Custer’s site I’m wondering if it would’ve been simpler to just start with mini.iso to make an actual barebones installation and then install only what is actually desired. If you truly want a lean install then building your own custom mix is possible in Ubuntu and a relatively blank slate is available.

A nice, spammy scare piece. The bit about the UK somehow losing its permanent seat on the UN Security Council over Diego Garcia was a wee bit off. The UN’s charter would have to be changed to change the permanent members of the Security Council. Those same permanent members can veto any such proposed change. They can’t be forced out without rupturing things to the point of just creating a separate UN 2.0 excluding the UK and probably the USA too.

What do you expect after three years of #Resistance, Russia-related conspiracies, the Mueller mess, and worse in this country? Frankly I am surprised that we have any shred of compliance anywhere at all. The state briefing here in Ohio today said we're expecting things to hit the multiples thousands per day in late April for diagnoses so this situation can still accelerate yet.

Businesses are not like light switches. I encountered someone online today urgently pleading to just turn everything off in the country. I don't think the person understood that quite a few businesses cannot simply be flipped on and off like a switch and will instead simply never come back into operation once closed due to this crisis.

Another domino falls as O'Reilly shows how uncertain the business climate is becoming with all the daily changes. There will be more like this to come.
