you know when i was flying in late Friday night i was thinking about how much light gets sent up into the atmosphere and was wondering what it would take for a national level dark sky law where all new and retrofit outdoor lights need to be in downfacing only fixtures and of a red/amber color
<whitequark>
that's much easier with LEDs now, is it?
<whitequark>
cost wise, white LEDs would probably be more expensive to produce
<whitequark>
not sure about amber
<whitequark>
but red is dirt cheap
<B787_300>
whitequark: the real issue i think is all the places who have lamp fixures were the light gets sent up, esp in places like neighborhoods where they would want to replace all at once.
<B787_300>
because yeah LEDs are dirt cheap
<whitequark>
let's destroy suburban neighborhoods first
<whitequark>
plain fucking outlaw homeowner associations and shit
<B787_300>
i mean yeah i would be 1000% down with banning HOAs
<B787_300>
i think a light pollution law would have better chance than that
<B787_300>
whitequark: have you even been to Flagstaff AZ?
<whitequark>
nope
<whitequark>
i've only been to very few places in the US and forgot most of that anyway
<B787_300>
ah Flagstaff is the home of the Lovell Observatory (discoverer of Pluto) and is a Dark Sky City
<whitequark>
right, i've been in uh
<whitequark>
sunnyvale has amber lighting iirc?
<whitequark>
somewhere in bay area

!choose Π(φ, n|m)|Π(n; φ|m)
<galois>
egg: Your options: Π(φ, n/ m)/ Π(n; φ/ m). My choice: m)
<egg>
no that's not what i meant
<egg>
!choose Π(φ, n|m)/Π(n; φ|m)
<galois>
egg: Your options: Π(φ, n\ m)/Π(n; φ\ m). My choice: m)/Π(n; φ
<egg>
what the hell
<egg>
nooooooo
<egg>
\ has a different semantic from | in elliptic integrals!!!!
<egg>
silly bot
<egg>
;choose Π(φ, n|m)|Π(n; φ|m)
<kmath>
egg: m)
<B787_300>
UmbralRaptop: you going to stop by IAC this week?
<egg>
!choose Π(φ, n|m)\Π(n; φ|m)
<galois>
egg: Your options: Π(φ, n/ m)\Π(n; φ/ m). My choice: m)
<egg>
how does this thing even work
<B787_300>
egg: at this point i would just say choose option a or b
<egg>
I'm more wondering how the !choose thingy is interacting with the | at this point than trying to get it to choose tbh
<egg>
it has nerd-sniped me
<egg>
I should sleep
<egg>
why is it three in the morning again
<egg>
why is it always three in the morning
<B787_300>
egg: because time cares not for your busyness
