This is great but why can’t i get fiber internet in my bk apartment. Still struggling with spectrum coaxial pulling less than 5mbps today. No options on my block. Sheesh

Is this solution to every issue in the US? Like if something is shit then instead of fixing just run from the problem? I guess that’s why you are stuck choosing between republicans and democrats every 4 years lol.
Except, uhhhhhhhhhhh, they can't.

#23Interesting, a sort of quantum eruv https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eruv Does anyone have any additional context on the throughput numbers? It says 20k photons per second at 99% fidelity and 500k at 90%, but what is the actual bandwidth needed for reasonable usage / computation?
20k (10^4) photons/sec is a TINY amount. An ordinary flashlight emits something like 10^18 photons per second. Even a star in the night sky sends around 10^8 to your eye. That few photons is not going to have much bandwidth.

Of course, if it does upgrade to the point that it can move gigabits per second, they'll use it for that. I don't know of a particular reason why this would be fundamentally impossible. I'm just saying that's not a necessary condition for the technology to be useful.

In a public area you can not transport objects, the intention being that the Sabbath is a day of rest, and you should stay home or at least near your home and not do work. Note: Jewish law very carefully defines "public area", and it would take several pages of text to fully explain it, so before objecting be aware you may be lacking background knowledge.
I’m guessing it’s the cubits that gave pause more than the restriction. I first became aware of eruvim thanks to an article in the L.A. Times which talked about a new eruv being constructed in Venice. The article talked about the restriction on carrying and how the eruv allowed congregants to bring their keys¹ with them while attending synagogue. ⸻ 1. Doubtless someone reading this is thinking, well, they could just…

Doesn't that map consider an entire region serviced if a single residence in that entire region can get the advertised speeds?

Keys on shabbat is doable without an eruv¹²³. (It's not considered carrying if it's an integral part of your clothing.) Eruvs are more for strollers/carrying small kids, dessert/wine when invited for lunch, etc. ¹ https://thekeybelt.com ² https://www.judaica-world.com/index.php/adjustable-shabbos-k... ³ https://maps.app.goo.gl/ptpGhwLeckdUTjUd7
