    1. Religious accessories bans are wrong: What are religious accessories bans?
      By Indi from Canadian Atheist
      Before we can even start to get into the weeds of why religious accessories bans are wrong, we need to pin down exactly what they are. This should be easy right? Sigh, not even close.

    #atheism

    I don't need a moral teacher or a grand-father looking up my shoulder. I do what is right because it's right. Not because I am affraid of after-death.

    I ran across this: "I agree with Saint Paul: Now that I am a man, I shall give up my childish things. Father Christmas I now know is a myth promoted by loving parents to give delights to their children. God too is a myth, invented to easily satisfy inquisitive young minds, that should be given up by an adult." https://anancientbrit.blogspot.com/2019/04/signs-in-secular-state.html #Atheism #Secularism

    That conversation would have been at least a year ago, and probably on #Wire -- my main laptop with all the comm clients on it has been relegated to to the basement to be a server (dead screen), and my currently laptop lacks the oomph to do things like #Ring / #Jami / #Wire

    Yup, I'm going to #ElvisFreshley for tonight's @RadioWaterloo fundraising concert. The evening is packed with experimental, ambient and electronic music (I think!) Just my cuppa tea! Haven't been to a concert in years! https://radiowaterloo.ca/ckms-march-madness-fundraiser-2019/

    If you have an external clock that's transmitted exclusively over an analogue channel, then everyone would hear the beats at the same time (barring speed-of-light transmission times, which is really only a factor if the transmission uses geosynchronous satellites). But if there is any digital transmission then you're back to the same problem. Not everyone will be the same number of router hops from the source, so with a digitally transmitted clock players may hear the beats at different times. If not, then it's fine for each player playing by themselves -- but they won't be able to hear each other (which may make playing as an ensemble difficult; I don't know, I'm no musician). And also, you're left with the problem of transmitting the music from each player -- if it gets transmitted over a digital channel then you have the "different lag from different router hops" problem all over again, and you'll hear the different lags from each player. The human ear is a marvellous instrument, and very intolerant of sounds being out-of-sync.

    @bobjonkman @strangeattractor what if they instead of playing reactively everyone played to a world clock?

    - people could always record their contributions and video magic can be done with screens in a room and then the one room is streamed.

    The solution would be to have an analogue connection from end-to-end. But today, even analogue phones are connected to digital switching networks, so you can't even use ordinary landline phones and expect to get no delay. You can get "leased lines" from the phone companies that are analogue end-to-end, but leasing a tuned circuit that supports audio fidelity (ie. a 56 kHz leased line) will probably cost hundreds of dollars a month. Last time I saw an equalized analogue leased line was in 1980 when I worked at a radio station. It's possible analogue-only leased lines don't even exist any more. /cc @StrangeAttractor @LauraRitchie
