death of a journalist in 4 parts

Believe it or not, advances in technology have shrunk true atomic clocks down to something you could conceivably wear (but wouldn't want to) on your wrist and with a power budget that is feasible. These so called Chip Scale Atomic Clocks have been commercialized by a company called Microsemi and you can buy the modules for about $2500 each. They're at least two orders of magnitude more accurate than the best compensates/controlled crystal oscillators. Someone once did a kickstarter even! Lol.

really excellent stuff lately from the copper community, can't wait to see what gets built in the next few years

About 20 years ago there was much hand-wringing and worrying about the "digital divide'.

The idea that lots of poorer people don't have access to computers and the Internet and are therefore left out of the new economy.

Well, now even the bum under the bridge has a pocket computer, but there's a new digital divide.

Those with technical skills will be able to maintain much higher levels of privacy and autonomy online then those who don't.

We unconsciously take our glasses off and put them back on our faces many times per day, but how often do we poke ourselves in the eye(s) with the glasses' arms?

Not enough times, I reckon.

Not nearly enough.

It would be a good enough reason to stop work for the day, unable to see.

Your boss will understand. I guarantee it.

This has been another Life Pro Tip from the Barmy Swami. 🤪
