This makes a lot of sense, but there are only so many people with these kinds of injuries, and Amazon is marketing far beyond it. It’s just s pity thst help to someone in your circumstances always seems to be a side-effect or afterthought, rather than the initial goal. It makes me think a bit of how restaurants have moved to accommodate the many people who claim various, spurious forms of gluten/wheat issues other than actual Celiac disease. If you have Celiac, your horizon has expanded, but only because of a separate group of loud and gullible people.

All they can do with their power is what the government allows them to do through manipulation of federal, state, and local laws, as well as zoning, ordinances, codes, etc.

Unless they own the land itself, they can't prevent others without the use of government as their tool.
He briefly addressed this in one of the appendices:

"Another reason to sac bunt (or bunt in general) is that the tendency to sometimes do this induces changes in defense which make non-bunt plays work better."

It apparently changes the probabilities slightly, but not enough to change the overall conclusion.
Similar to Twitter, it's hard to nuance a complex thought on a garish protest sign. With the example of a sign reading "Sciences isn't wrong", that's not literally a statement of science's infallibility, it's just something some guy wrote on a sign. If you had a conversation with the individual I'm sure they would espouse to you what they meant with their sign.

It feels like an act of willful ignorance to interpret the few words or catchy phrase on a protest sign and ascribe them as that person's core beliefs.

You can use PGP then. However using PGP well turns out to be hard. You can to have the client local (and built by a trusted source), not a web client. You have to ensure you didn't forget your private key. You have to understand how it works and what the limits are to ensure that you don't accidentally break something.

For what fastmail is doing providing PGP is the wrong answer: there is no way they can provide it safely. In particular a government can force them to replace their web PGP with a hacked version. (and some hacks can be very subtle such that you are unlikely to notice in a code review - remember we have a government's resources created it)

That isn't to say PGP is bad. PGP is better than what they offer when you use it correctly. However there are many ways to use PGP wrong which make it seem like your messages are secure, but they are in fact not. This is probably worse than not using PGP at all, at least if you know your messages are not secure you won't do anything that requires security.
The user paid for internet access, but streaming video services pay too. The more distance there is, the more effort may be required to guarantee some minimum speed, and in some cases may not even be possible. Internet sea cables are not unlimited. Net Neutrality means you treat packets equally[0], not that you can put an unlimited amount of them.

But if the user can get a faster speed through a VPN than without (as it has happened with Netflix vs Verizon), the tubes are NOT the limit, but a clear violation of Net Neutrality.

They way it goes is that the PR firm sends me a basically fully written story, and offers to get me on the phone with one of their marketing folks to get a quote.

Sometimes, it's just a press release, but with a bunch of prewritten social shares for me.

Not egregious, in this case, but, pretty presumptive on the part of PR.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to do this. My question:

Do you see net neutrality as the end-all solution to this, or would further regulation/deregulation be required beyond simply creating these rules? Also, is there a place for deregulation of ISPs and infrastructure to allow for more free-market competition?

No, you don't. You can use the Roku app on any iOS or Android device.

Most people who buy a device like this are trying to watch Netflix or Hulu; not trying to cast video files from a local storage medium. Note that the marketing copy on Roku.com[2] focuses on everything _except_ casting. And it's the same for Amazon[3].

Using a variety of techniques you can create a 'crossover' between 2 genomes to breed the next generation. A simple crossover is to take the first half of one and the second half of the other and attach them together. Or any other way of combining the two to give a 'good' result, but that's the most basic way of crossover before putting the next generation into the growth chamber.

If I recall correctly, ProtonMail was using RoundCube as the webmail interface when I was looking for a service. RoundCube was the reason I left my previous e-mail provider, so I had to give it a pass. Though now their website is showing a rather nice web UI, perhaps they've switched to a new one since then?
You can do this already in Bitbucket Pipelines and your preferred PaaS provider -- just set up a manual step on your branch pipeline to deploy it. We built Deployments to help teams track changes in their _shared_ environments, which is where most of the value for tracking is.

Who would want to see a history of deployments for a branch-specific environment? What information would they be looking for?
Confounding factors undermine causal arguments. You can build a perfectly useful model without knowing about the hidden variables.

A risk-management approach to the criminal justice system doesn’t call for fudge factors. It’s fundamentally unacceptable. Risk management is all about using people’s demographics against them (see: all insurance pricing). Wokeness on the part of the risk managers doesn’t fix that. The criminal justice system needs to treat people as individuals and not classes - this requires that it steer clear of evidence-based risk assessment.
They probably will soon. Or the equivalent in the form of services backed by that history, like rewards programs.

> local SC taxpayers only get marginally more benefit than the rest of the country.

I wouldn't agree its marginally more benefit. Those bases being shut down would crush SC's economy within 50 miles of every base.

Economically, they enjoy 100% of the benefit and pay less than 5% of the costs.

The US is not, in any real sense, threatened militarily that I benefit from a large defense budget. Similar is true of food and energy subsidies. They have strategic value but they don't benefit me economically. There is a reason food and energy imports are still competitive despite the subsidies.

The benefits of what you mention is it helps broaden the US's foreign policy options, not actual economic value to the average American.

Critics Prepare for Possible Legal Action After Bitfinex Lawyers Up
As far as I believe Wells Fargo is the bank that severed ties:

"After Wells Fargo severed ties, Tether won’t name its banks"

"On Dec. 2, Bitfinex released a quarterly report announcing it would no longer serve U.S. customers because it’s too expensive to do business with them. This followed Wells Fargo & Co.’s decision earlier in the year to end its role as a correspondent bank through which customers in the U.S. could send money to Bitfinex and Tether’s banks in Taiwan. Bitfinex and Tether filed suit against Wells Fargo, but later withdrew the case."

"However, Ronn Torossian, a spokesman for Bitfinex and Tether, refused to identify their current banks unless a reporter signed a non-disclosure agreement, an offer that wasn’t accepted."

This has a pretty terrifying aspect to it... have we already passed the point at which no image seen on a screen can be trustworthy at all? How long until such a technology can easily process a command like "disrobe everyone in this photo" and produce a very believable facsimile of what the people in the photo would look like? Should such be seen as a violation against those people? The list of potential abuses of such technology is so very long and interesting and filled with pitfalls.
Hmm, that’s odd. In my experience, FastMail’s web app is much faster than Gmail. I also tend to like that the FastMail web app is simple in comparison to Gmail - fewer things to slow it down or break, and few things for me to ignore :)
That's ridiculous. Every artist has to make choices -- they can't pursue every avenue of creative development. Not everyone brings all their potentials to fruition. Opportunity costs.

To say "unless you have already done x, you cannot do x" is a mind-bogglingly wrong perspective to take.

Many people are capable of coming up with, for example, witty, plausible conceptual art ideas. Generally they don't pursue it because only a few famous players can make a living that way. In addition, there are the dynamics of charisma to consider: a successful artist needs to sell themselves, to persuade an audience that their work has value. It generally takes a level of narcissism to achieve that. All of that hype and marketing is peripheral to the ability to actually make the work.
This is addressed in the article:

"But there are situations where the approximation isn’t very good, such as when it’s the 9th inning and the game is tied. In that case, a decision that increases the probability of scoring 1 run but decreases the probability of scoring multiple runs is actually the right choice."

I understood that the "full" model includes these considerations.

>The government "allowing" monopolies to exist is an example of the government NOT doing something.

Lastly, its not just the Feds, CLEC / ILEC classifications at the local level virtually ensure only the big players can ever call themselves a "phone company".

> It sounds like one issue is the conflation of Object and Data Structure.

Do you mind expanding on this a little bit? I am very confused. A "data structure" is an implementation of an abstract data type (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_structure). A "class" is also an implementation of abstract data type (from this book https://www.amazon.ca/Object-Oriented-Software-Construction-... page 165).

I am not sure how you can have a data structure Book without any operations. Even if it were a C struct, accessing a field would consist an operation around that data structure.
<form action="mailto:comments@yourdomain.com">
<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="A new comment on the thingy" />
<textarea name="body" rows="10" cols="41"></textarea><br>
<button type="submit">Submit comment</button>
</form>

When the form is submitted the default mail program will be started, subject will be the subject and body will be the body. Now assuming the user does have a e-mail client, all he/she has to do is to click send.

You can then read, delete, and reply to comments, and even send private replies, all via your e-mail client. Then you add the comments to your web-site either manually, or have a script do it automatically.
They can get the data, but the data is encrypted so there isn't much that can be done. (unless they can guess your password, which is possible but hard).

At the very least, anything that the US would try would be noticed by someone who is not subject to US gag orders. Potentially they can get Australia to provide those orders, but now it is an international thing, which is more difficult than the US going alone.

>the number is actually 30 years

No. It's 20 years. https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/repay-loans/understand/plans/in...

>the forgiven amount is taxable income.

It's only taxable up to the point of solvency. If you have a sizeable loan forgiven and you haven't made enough money to pay it over 20 years, you likely won't have enough assets to end up owing very much.

Also it's very likely congress will intervene in 10-15 years or so when a huge percentage of voters have this problem.

>income-based plans often result in payments that don't even cover interest, so the debt continues to pile up quickly.

If that's the case, you will never pay it off and we're back to debt cancellation after 20 years.
The effort is something like filling in one line, adding up a handful of numbers, copying the result to another line, selecting which of two numbers is larger and copying that one to another line.

That hardly even merits the word "effort"...and if you are using tax prep software instead of filling out the forms by hand it isn't even that...it's just entering one number in one field.
It’s not like US and other countries all have it figured out, it took HBO years to make it so we could all watch GoT at the same time and if it weren’t for that show I doubt HBO would have gotten it sorted at all.
Mr. Schneiderman, what power does the NY AGs office actually have to halt or slow this egregious deriliction of duty on the part of the FCC and it's chairman, and under what specific laws?

More generally, it seems that petition and protest do very little to change congress's stance on subjects of importantance to it's real constituencies, the people, as shown by multiple studies and events. Does this potentially violate any laws and which, and if so why has prosecutorial discretion been exercised so frequently with the rich and powerful (cabinet members, congress, bankers etc) while minorities and the poor are almost never afforded it?

Finally, if the repeal of net neutrality is passed, what recourse is there for the people, your office, or any other relevant office?
If someone is willing to speculate (let's say suspecting BTC will burst, but not for a while yet), and that person is using spare money and cashing out after a week or two even, how are they a sucker?

Any person who's asked me about getting some Bitcoin has seemed perfectly aware of what could happen.

I got BTC at $900 (now approaching $12k). First got Monero at $70, and it's close to $250. Maybe I'll pick the wrong time to sell, but it's a risk I'm aware of. I've lost much more money on speculative stocks (backed by actual businesses with real assets) than I have put into this.

For anyone throwing in $100 just to be part of the adventure, I'd bet they've spent more than that on a single night getting drunk at the bar.
I coasted through five years of college ... Compared to a 9-5 job, yeah, college was a five year vacation.

If you went to college voluntarily and did not care about neither the monetary constraints nor the opportunity costs, then sure that's a vacation. I suspect pretty much anything can be framed as such under those circumstances. For most people, this is not actually a realistic option.

This would be one of the cases the same text talks about "when users misunderstand the security characteristics". The journalist example can be used, but instead of checking an image sending a reply to the e-mail.

I'm unsure how many journalists know that their replies using an e-mail client will send their ip address, neither if they can understand why there is a difference between the mail client and their web interface.

Your logic is the same kind of reasoning that could easily be used to justify abusive sweatshops, child labor, and worse.

You also assume too much: some of this money is my own, though that's irrelevant. I'll be high and mighty about anyone's money if it's being used to prop up something unjust.
