Elevated Error Rates
Jul 18 10:26 AM PDT Between 9:37 AM and 10:13 AM PDT, we experienced elevated error rates for request serviced by the CloudFront Origin Shield and Regional Edge Cache in the US-EAST-1 region. The issue has been resolved and service is operating normally.

I think this is what the AWS Client VPN client for Ubuntu does. So AWS does have the method in their tool set somewhere, though I imagine it's owned by an entirely different team than their CLI.
If this stands and is enforced, will this be the first time ever in the US that an ISP providing internet access to home subscribers is forced by the government to block something?

Take a look at xerxes901's comment in this post. Looks like they got through to someone internally. And their comment history checks out; it appears they do with for or with Zendesk.
In music, the frequency ratio of a semitone is ideally 2^(1/12), but without some tiny fudging (called tuning), you can't make harmonies as the frequencies almost but don't quite line up right. I forget exactly how this one works so I may have something off.
“12 tone equal temperament” is a good string to Google if you want to learn about that. Most pianos are intentionally out of tune just enough that they’re good enough for every key.
Other coincidences that drive me wild: speed of light is almost but not quite 3.0E8m/s And the fine structure constant being almost but not exactly 1/137.
Pianos are more complicated, because they also use stretched octaves that aren't just a simple 2:1 ratio, due to inharmonicity of the thick bass strings. There are only a few exceptions, where instead of thicker strings the piano was made really long.
I know that the speed of light is c, or 1 or 3e8 m/s, but I really feel like it's a foot per nanosecond, because that's how I measured it the lab one day messing around with BNC cables amd an oscillscope.
Similarly the earth-sun distance is 8 light-minutes.These feel right, like measuring mass in stone for people, kilos for sugar, carat for diamonds, electron-volts for particles etc.

IIRC correctly, it's not just harmonies; the range of a piano is big enough that if you tune each octave exactly based on that ratio, you'll end up with the first and last octaves sounding off from each other.
If you tune with exact 2^(1/12) semitones then all your octaves will be in tune for obvious reasons. (And pianos are normally tuned this way, equal temperament, so I don't know what the grandparent is talking about; for any tuning system some intervals are just and others are not. Equal temperament gives you just octaves, Pythagorean tuning gives you just fifths, meantone temperaments give you just thirds).
> If you tune with exact 2^(1/12) semitones then all your octaves will be in tune for obvious reasons.
Hypothetically, or on an electronic instrument, you could. But if you did all 2^(1/12) ratios, your octaves wouldn't be in tune. Strings on a piano do not behave like an ideal string. Their overtones are not 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, etc. times the fundamental frequency. Instead, the actual overtones are higher than the ideal frequencies. This is called inharmonicity (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inharmonicity).
So when tuning a piano, you have to tailor the way you tune it to each different piano if you want that piano's lower strings to be in tune with its higher strings.
Basically at the least you want to create exact frequency ratio of 3/2(major 5th) and 4/3(major 3rd). And also all the power and inverse power which is not achievable in one scale. Instead we substitute 3/2 = 1.5 to 2^(7/12) = 1.4983 and 4/3 = 1.3333 to be 2^(5/12) = 1.3348
