I'm at 45 north, we're right on southern edge of early coverage. My guess is Alaska is too far north, with Anchorage on the northern edge.

Here's a lecture from Robert Nemiroff, Michigan Tech U. He's one of the authors of the "Astronomy Picture of the Day".
From the lecture slides:
In General Relativistic Cosmology:
There is no center.
There is no “Big Bang National Park”.
The Universe is not an exploding golf ball.
Every point can be considered the center.
The expansion looks the same from every point

Here's a user issue that was escalated to me: the user had a password worked fine when linking to mail on his smartphone, but failed when logging into Windows. I met with him face to face to sort it out.
And it's just like he says. He put it in his phone and it worked, and could not log into Windows.
I asked him to tell me his password so I could try it. It's "ABC<>1", without the quotes.
And Window logs in perfectly for me. I had him try again and watched his fingers. He was typing "CapsLock a b c , . CapsLock 1" while I had typed "Shift-A Shift-B Shift-C Shift-, Shift-. 1". The damn CapsLock key doesn't Cap Lock special characters.
We cursed Microsoft and all was well. ;-)

China's censorship dilemma
China thinks bad content will ruin the morals and attitudes of the population.
China needs censors to protect the population from content that will ruin their morals and attitudes.
The censors must view all this content to spot the bad content.
The censors get their morals and attitudes ruined.
Now the population is only protected by perverts with bad attitudes.
