Love this app, this is something I've had rolling around in my head for a while and I think it can massively improve developer productivity. Excited to try it when I can use my own code!
Don't you want to be with a partner that "wants you to have everything" also? Even if we don't take that literally, I think a healthy relationship has both parties honestly sharing their desires with each other. If you "just do something to make your partner happy," knowing it makes you less happy, isn't that being dishonest? I just struggle to understand how you don't see the relationship as one sided if one person is making sacrifices for the other and that value isn't reciprocated. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to say.
There's miscommunication somewhere (maybe in my writing): I agree, it would be an unhealthy relationship if it wasn't both ways.
But to pick on a specific word (perhaps not meant so specifically), I don't think reciprocation is necessary or optimal, though maybe it's sufficient. It's not a transaction or a deal; you help the other because you love them, not to get anything back. It doesn't have to be equal or balanced or 'fair', but both should see to it that their partner's needs are met - you still have needs. It's 'from each according to their ability, to each according to their need'. And abilties and needs will shift over the long term. One may need much more than the other. Sometimes one person will be much more able than the other. It will never balance out.
> If you "just do something to make your partner happy," knowing it makes you less happy, isn't that being dishonest?
If you mean that's all you are doing, then it sure isn't healthy (I suppose it could be honest if you are open about it with yourself and your partner). But do you make sacrifices like that? All the time, of course, with joy and love, and pride to be part of that relationship, and to know they do the same.
Anyway, that's one vision of a relationship, but I think it's a healthy one and I suspect some elements are pretty universal.
Is WiGLE a thing people know about? How does that work, its a service that listens to all publicly available wifis in the country? I understand how it could be possible in theory but how is it actually practical?
Data is crowdsourced and contributed by users. On a much larger scale, Apple and Google collect data from iOS and Android devices to power their WiFi/mobile tower based geolocation services.
Mozilla also has such a service although I believe they're deprecating it. You can still query it today, but as a privacy measure you need to include the MAC of 3+ SSIDs to get location info, since otherwise you could check the SSIDs from probe scans of passerby to locate their homes.
Wigle is not a thing that people know about. It isn't a secret (at all) -- in fact, it was created in part to raise awareness about the problems associated with open-by-default consumer wireless routers.
But, like (say) RIPE Atlas, it just isn't very commonly known.
Data in Wigle is collected mostly by wardriving, which (in a nutshell) is just driving around and passively recording the information that WiFi access points are shouting about themselves to whoever is listening.
The data is collected by volunteers, but it is not strictly free. The way that the project is funded is by selling the data to companies who use it for geolocation services.
Regular folks can do some basic searches on the dataset without cost, though, which is what the author has done here.
Is there a legitimate reason why TN blocks other municipalities from implementing similar service? Besides Regulatory capture or other forms of corruption as others suggest?
TN arguments were never really on why it would work besides claiming it would somehow protect TN residents from "mismanaged" municipal broadband. They mostly focus on how they can do it if they want to, no matter the reason.
TN is the HN libertarian paradise. Vast majority of the state's people hate anything the government provides and want to kill it with fire. Especially if their neighbors could benefit from it.
They literally had situations where people were upset that fire service was going to be paid for, then got upset they had to pay for it to get it when their house was burning.
