    Hey @reneritchie just watched your eSIM video; was a major concern for me too, primary for international travel, but I was just introduced to @airalocom and here you can buy eSIM in nearly any country before you even arrive. Seems majorly awesome.
    Aaron Parecki
    I've been using eSIMs for international travel for a while now, it's fantastic. Having cell service from the moment the plane touches down because I bought it before I left is great.

    If I buy an 800 number (toll free number in the US) and route it my phone instead of my real number am I less likely to get spam calls? πŸ€”
    Aaron Parecki
    I actually had 877-99-AARON a long long time ago and it forwarded to my google voice number. But this was way before the spam call problem got so bad. Now I wish I had kept it!

    Not at all! I'm just wondering why it's taken folks so long to figure out how bad the whole thing is. When it's been going on for ages. That's all.

    The tech space, and community, has vastly changed in the last few years.

    There's room for everyone to do live-streams whenever they want.

    Eventually some of us will step on toes. It sucks, bu it's up to the audience to decide who they want to watch.

    This whole thing is silly.
    Aaron Parecki
    Exactly, plus it's not like everyone's audiences line up exactly, so it's actually an impossible problem to solve.

    Apparently I'm disrespectful not for the community because I live streamed at the same time as another creator on a ONE TIME scenario which was Apple event day.
    Aaron Parecki
    From now on there can only be one active livestream on youtube at a time

    Super fan. But it’s really the name of a guy named Stan, who loved Eminem far far too much. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stan_(song)
    Aaron Parecki
    Surprisingly that is not mentioned on the wikipedia page!

    curious, what music licensing company do you guys use most?
    Aaron Parecki
    Artlist, because it has the most permissive license. Plus I've already had them fight some bogus copyright claims on my videos and they were great about it.

    Twitter always has me feeling like im taking crazy pills.

    I literally only use one phone and only have one sim.

    Are there that many folks that really switch back and forth every 30 minutes?
    Aaron Parecki
    I've definitely popped my phone's SIM into the YoloBox to livestream from it.

    Also it's nice to be able to buy a local SIM when out of the country cause it's often cheaper than the eSIM plans.

    I've shied away from reducing location accuracy because then I can't defer location updates, but since I'm already at the 30 minute interval I'll try that out!
    Aaron Parecki
    Now I can't remember exactly why, but it has to do with the underlying iOS APIs.

    "best" is meant for things like navigation apps where you really want every data point as accurate as possible. Personally I don't mind the battery hit because that's the data I want!

    Woah, thanks for dropping in! I’ve been using Overland all summer and have really enjoyed tracking my location. Any tips on optimizing for battery life?
    Aaron Parecki
    Glad you're enjoying it! Changing how often it sends data will have probably the biggest effect. Notice the two other top apps there, Outlook and Overcast, both of which are heavy background data users. Next up is desired accuracy.

    I've been using Overland lately but it seems to do a number on my battery life. https://github.com/aaronpk/Overland-iOS
    Aaron Parecki
    It's got plenty of knobs to turn if you want to increase battery life at the cost of collecting slightly less data. Most of the things on the settings screen adjust properties of CLLocationManager

    you can charge them for 15-30 minutes when you do anything in the evening (shower, movie, reading, etc.). They charge in just a moment. I don't know why you all make such a science about it.πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
    Aaron Parecki
    I've been wearing smart watches of various sorts for 11 years, and my experience has shown me that a device doesn't work for me unless the battery lasts for at least 4 days, preferably closer to 10.

    Could I train myself to be more proactive at charging? Yes. Do I want to? no.

    I love expanded health features, but I still don't understand sleeping with a smart watch.
    Aaron Parecki
    That's literally the only reason I want a smart watch, to track my sleep! Coincidentally that's the reason I can't get an Apple Watch, battery life is just crap.

    not sure, I only fly Delta :)
    Aaron Parecki
    in my experience it's specific to the wifi provider of the flight, for example gogo provides wifi on a bunch of different airlines and it worked the same for all of those

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
