Why would you want universal coverage when you think you can once again be part of a preferred exclusive risk pool? https://t.co/OVoGkkfPFG 21:42:09, 2017-03-18

@ztuylime I like Barcelona much better as a model. More relaxed. Streets for people. Shorter buildings. But overall, density similar to NYC. in reply to ztuylime 00:10:56, 2017-03-18

@ericmbudd And now on the other side… I tried (and failed) to quit a PhD that was making me miserable, which eventually cost me my marriage. in reply to ericmbudd 15:48:35, 2017-03-14
@ericmbudd Leaving In Junior High, it became clear that I needed to escape the rural Central Valley forever. Academics was my ticket out. in reply to ericmbudd 14:30:31, 2017-03-14
23/ The @ACLU also offers some recommendations for improving digital privacy & security: https://t.co/HAcbwfPwcP in reply to ZaneSelvans 14:15:46, 2017-03-14
22/ Much more info from @EFF via their Surveillance Self Defense series: https://t.co/tCIp42fGah in reply to ZaneSelvans 14:13:51, 2017-03-14
21/ Any list like this will always be incomplete. Security isn’t binary, it’s a process. Do the easy things now. Learn more as you go. in reply to ZaneSelvans 14:12:46, 2017-03-14
20/ Try @whispersystems Signal secure text/voice app and encourage friends & fellow activists to use it w/ you. in reply to ZaneSelvans 14:11:26, 2017-03-14
19/ Make sure all your devices apply frequent automatic software security updates. Don’t use old un-maintained zombie Android phones. in reply to ZaneSelvans 14:09:21, 2017-03-14
18/ Turn on device encryption for your phone & laptop & your backup disks. Use zero-knowledge encrypted off-site backups like @SpiderOak. in reply to ZaneSelvans 14:07:52, 2017-03-14
17/ Use a password manager like @1Password or @LastPass so all your passwords can be strong and unique. in reply to ZaneSelvans 14:06:43, 2017-03-14
16/ Consider setting up an easy to use home VPN, e.g. @buyvpnservice. Install @EFF’s @HTTPSEverywhere & an ad blocker like @AdblockPlus in reply to ZaneSelvans 14:05:22, 2017-03-14
15/ Hardware based 2FA w/ @Yubico or other similar keys is finally usable by normal people and getting broader implementation. in reply to ZaneSelvans 14:02:31, 2017-03-14
14/ Consider setting up 2-factor auth on Gmail & other online accounts. If @DNC & @HillaryClinton had done so, phishing might have failed. in reply to ZaneSelvans 14:00:44, 2017-03-14
13/ The need for this consideration is permanent. Anything you learn about & implement in terms of security is a long term investment. in reply to ZaneSelvans 13:56:49, 2017-03-14
12/ But I think we owe it to our future selves & movements to act as if things might get bad, and as if we might be successful in resisting. in reply to ZaneSelvans 13:55:07, 2017-03-14
11/ You can’t know today if it will get “that bad” or if you will end up being so successful in your dissidence that you’re worth targeting. in reply to ZaneSelvans 13:54:07, 2017-03-14
10/ Ubiquitous surveillance erases the arrow of time. The state can rewind. See @Radiolab’s “Eye in the Sky” episode https://t.co/ntvw6LhK69 in reply to ZaneSelvans 13:52:52, 2017-03-14
9/ This combination means if wait until it *is* that bad or you *are* that important to think about security, it’s probably too late. in reply to ZaneSelvans 13:50:03, 2017-03-14
8/ First, the marginal cost of spying on person is close to zero. Second, most surveillance is now likely retrospective. in reply to ZaneSelvans 13:48:27, 2017-03-14
7/ It’s easy to say “It’s not that bad yet.” or “I’m not important enough.” but this misunderestimates the nature of modern surveillance. in reply to ZaneSelvans 13:47:18, 2017-03-14
6/ We who work for reproductive or immigrant rights, access to healthcare, racial or economic or climate justice, are at odds w/ the regime. in reply to ZaneSelvans 13:45:57, 2017-03-14
5/ Folks ridiculing Conway may not have internalized the fact that we're now dissidents resisting autocratic, potentially repressive regime. in reply to ZaneSelvans 13:44:06, 2017-03-14
4/ @Snowden & other leaks have repeatedly revealed ease w/ which this infrastructure is utilized by governments for surveillance purposes. in reply to ZaneSelvans 13:42:19, 2017-03-14
3/ Most of us carry real-time tracking devices with us everywhere we go. TVs, cars, laptops, etc. contain internet accessible cams & mics. in reply to ZaneSelvans 13:40:43, 2017-03-14
2/ Her specifics might be delusional, but general statement that electronic devices enabling ubiquitous surveillance surround us is spot on. in reply to ZaneSelvans 13:38:07, 2017-03-14
1/ I like seeing 45’s folks embarrass themselves as next as any sane person but scorn heaped on Conway for microwave comment worries me. in reply to ZaneSelvans 13:36:33, 2017-03-14

Sounds like Boulder's railroad quiet zones are finally moving forward: Boulder Junction area first, and then 55th + 63rd in E. Boulder. in reply to ZaneSelvans 21:20:29, 2017-03-13

#BoulderTAB didn’t feel super strongly about making the @colochautauqua NPP 7-days a week vs. weekends only. Went with staff rec: 7-days. in reply to ZaneSelvans 20:19:55, 2017-03-13
Resident-only parking isn’t fair — @colochautauqua & the nearby streets are public assets we’re all entitled to utilize and enjoy. in reply to ZaneSelvans 20:04:34, 2017-03-13
Some folks aren’t fans of priced parking at @colochautauqua. What’s the alternative? Giant parking structure? Would just induce demand. in reply to ZaneSelvans 20:02:22, 2017-03-13

Somehow using a gallon of refined hydrocarbons to get a gallon of maple syrup seems extravagant, but gas is $2/gallon & syrup is $65/gallon. in reply to ZaneSelvans 23:56:30, 2017-03-12
Backyard maple producers with small reverse osmosis systems remove ~half the water. So, just ~1 gallon of gasoline per gallon of syrup. in reply to ZaneSelvans 23:45:18, 2017-03-12
But It turns out modern maple syrup is first concentrated 10x using reverse osmosis! Even in small operations: https://t.co/AaG1dRr3DW in reply to ZaneSelvans 23:34:34, 2017-03-12
Maple sap is reduced by ~50x to make syrup. Boiling off 49 parts water to make a quart of syrup takes the energy in two quarts of gasoline. 23:29:40, 2017-03-12
6/ This is a thing that atmospheres do. Parts condense out maybe get stuck in the ground or pile up at the poles & then WHOOOSH, up they go. in reply to ZaneSelvans 23:03:48, 2017-03-12
5/ But they were never stable, chemically. And now they’re becoming part of the atmosphere again. Biologically released, after a long nap. in reply to ZaneSelvans 22:57:39, 2017-03-12
4/ But all all these tree stumps, peat bogs, coal seams, and oil domes were atmosphere once too. Then they were precipitated biologically. in reply to ZaneSelvans 22:51:04, 2017-03-12
3/ Or the hypothesized drastic seasonal collapse of Pluto’s atmosphere, as the Nitrogen finally freezes into a glacial Kuiper goo. in reply to ZaneSelvans 22:48:52, 2017-03-12
2/ Sometimes I joke when the snow starts falling that the atmosphere is condensing out. Because it is. Like seasonal CO2 frost caps on Mars. in reply to ZaneSelvans 22:46:48, 2017-03-12
1/ On a bike ride today I found myself thinking of sequestered carbon — coal, permafrost, etc. — like an ancient condensed atmosphere. 22:43:41, 2017-03-12
