I understand your current policy as it is written. Are you aware that such a policy amounts to a tacit dictatorship? (One person can decide the fate of all future interactions.) Onto your other points. You decided to explore a little more than you were told in the membership application and it got you into jumping to some conclusions that aren't going towards truth (as you would otherwise, reasonably, expect). The twitter account you mention has no face as it is a shared account belonging to part of an activist collective called "Anonymous". More to the point, it is a space for those with no voice, like those in prison for crimes that your leaders do on an annual basis, the Native Americans (who shouldn't be expected to learn how to use the internet just to get justice). You apparently didn't wish to include those tweets. The profile tag line that *I* had placed there was "So transparent as to be invisible...." (and did not reference the female directly). That is, in fact, how you found it at all. Unfortunately, that tagline is no longer there. I'm still transparent, and you can ask me anything you want, should you decide to use your freedom that we've been fighting on your behalf for genuine inquiry rather than forming premature conclusions that serve neither me nor the future of sudoroom. We use this collective individuality as a counterpoint to the adverse collective personality that you under one now called "Annuit Coeptis" which you can find on the back of the US$1, left-hand-side. That phrase is ancient Latin for "We are looking over you" with the preposition "over" to imply, semantically, the notion of parentship. To the point, if you wish to go over all the tweets on that account one-by-one, we can do that, in the presence of your the sudo-room polit-bureau, if you'd like. I will admit, for example, that I had indeed tweeted that women should [collectively] stop sucking the cock of the anti-Christ. You got me. As has been communicated on several occasions by Anonymous, anyone can join this movement The membership application for the account in question is much more simple. I just have to give you the password and you are automatically in, there is no vetting process. ...But judging from your message, I assume you wouldn't be interested. Am I to understand, for example, that you have only seen the anatomy of a woman through approved and vetted processes and mediums, yourself? Please take a moment and reflect. The note on the profile that you *didn't* take into account that these are missives from the "uber-mind". Perhaps it is unfortunate that it makes reference to a part of the female anatomy in a manner of which you do not approve. I, myself, did approve, otherwise I would have removed it, and I further know the intentions of the person(s) who set that note in the profile believes and *fights* for women to be equal. How much have you yourself done that? (I should note that I cannot be certain that only the one individual set that profile, such is the nature of anonymity and aggregating activism.) I have to believe, for your sake, that your note was not sent strictly with your own personality in mind, but also a result of a collective consciousness in which you do not have complete control. Few do have control. Between your diet, the medical system, and the law, pretty much everyone has been p0wned. Towards some other points, I should attempt to reason with you on your current decision. Sudo-room, in its present state, is financially insolvent, has no business plan, has rent in the 10s of THOUSANDS of dollars and is in the ghetto. You do have need to save your ship from sinking. I am here on a raft shooting the flare that "I'm here". If you wish to continue to captain that giant ship on your own, I have to allow that. For that is my own personal policy: to allow others to fail -- if, when given the options and consequences of error, they choose to act on their own. Even then. Cheers, Mark, aka Marxos, Captain Dynamite.

sudo travel thread(s)

by Romy Ilano

Hey folks I ran into a beautiful SudoMember, and I'd like to start a sudo Travel thread. A lot of us are planning on traveling this year and the next year - some like me are aiming for Eastern Europe and Germany in 2017, others are planning Costa Rica, and I'm hoping even for Africa. If we are all traveling it would be cool to have a live teleconference from SudoRoom back with the folks at home and/or with the folks who are also traveling! I really miss you guys! Focusing on a health-related project and want to jam soon at SudoRoom evenings again ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

kids doing science at the Bay Area Discovery Museum (BADM) near San Francisco

by Jake

http://qz.com/726442/in-san-francisco-preschoolers-can-now-learn-stem-with-… A few weeks ago, at the Bay Area Discovery Museum (BADM) near San Francisco, 5-year-old Jack Stabenow climbed a step stool to peer into a machine that cuts cardboard with a high-powered laser. The red beam precisely followed a squiggly building design that Jack had just finger-drawn on a tablet computer. Jack’s goal was to make a building that could stand up to the wind of a nearby table fan. With his cardboard cut, Jack hurried to the assembly area where about two dozen other kids his age labored over teetering, but well-taped, creations. If these first attempts toppled in the breeze, that was to be expected. In fact, back-to-the-drawing-board was kind of the point. The kids were learning the cycle of design, prototype, test, and redesign that’s a hallmark of engineering. The museum staffers were testing a prototype, too. Last month, the museum launched America’s first early childhood “fab lab”—for fabrication laboratory—a suite of digitally controlled fabrication machinery, such as 3D printers, laser cutters, and milling machines. ...

Re: [sudo-discuss] Arif Shaikh banned from Counter Culture Labs

We could always add a robots.txt to our base folder so that search engines don't add it. It's basically a way to tell search engines to not index specific pages.

TED The Energy Detective AC power monitors

by Jake

I opened up the black box that connects to the current-sense transformers included with The Energy Detective (TED) power monitor kits. it contains a CS5460 chip which is a "Single Phase Bi-Directional Power/Energy IC" which has a digital (SPI) data interface. Unfortunately it does not have analog outputs, so it can't be used to convert the AC current signals coming into it into a simple DC analog value. http://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/view/230848/CIRRUS/CS5460.html however, if someone finds a nice arduino library to talk to this chip, we can... wait no, that's pointless. the chip is connected to a PIC16F627A which is processing the data from the CS5460 and then sending it out over the power lines using a TDA5051AT "Home automation modem" chip: http://www.nxp.com/documents/data_sheet/TDA5051A.pdf "The TDA5051A is a modem IC, specifically dedicated to ASK transmission by means of the home power supply network, at 600 baud or 1200 baud data rate. It operates from a single 5 V supply." it transmits Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK) data transmission using the electric power lines it's connected to. basically it communicates at 8.48MHz (somewhere between 6.08 - 9.504 MHz) in binary serial communications. so it should be pretty easy to figure out what it's saying. It could be that the box that the current sense transformers plug into just sends data (including its serial number, which is on a barcode label stuck to the box) and a displaybox (or our hack) picks it up or not. But it's also possible that it waits for a displaybox to transmit a signal telling it to turn on, or asking it to supply a measurement on-command. since we have displayboxes and these current sense boxes, we can find out if we want. and then we can measure power flow throughout the omni. -jake
