Sportlo is the first Social Network for Sports Parents. It is a one of a kind online community built on trust and integrity, created for moms and dads to share special moments, find helpful resources, and connect with like-minded people around them who understand exactly what being a sports parent is all about.

Sports parents experience unique situations and challenges while supporting their kids such as daddy ball, fundraising for new uniforms and equipment, or washing white pants after an intense game. As a result, they have distinctive topics and ideas to share and discuss with other sports moms and dads. However, there has never been a network that brings them all together. Sportlo is changing that.

Thanks to our research and the valuable feedback we received from sports moms and dads, we have learned that Sportlo can be used by sports parents to:

- Connect with other parents within their child’s sports club
- Share information about local sports teams, tournaments, or tryouts
- Post pictures or videos of their child’s latest game
- Find recommended sports products for themselves or their child
- Find a trustworthy coach or personal trainer for private coaching lessons
- Get access to useful articles shared by fellow parents
- Form groups and discuss a variety of sports-related topics

Visit https://sportlo.com to join our community.

We are excited to support sports parents around the country and we can't wait for you to join us on this amazing journey. And remember, when sports parents connect, everybody wins.
This doesn't do a very good job of explaining the actual threat modelling that goes into this policy. Password rotation helps to minimize the impact of passwords that are compromised in two scenarios:

1. If the passwords are stored improperly by the service provider.

2. If the passwords are stored properly, but are weak and easy to compromise from a hash.

The idea is that both of those problems can be better solved in other ways. Number 1 is better solved by doing some due diligence with your service providers. Number 2 is better solved by using strong passwords, where it wouldn't matter if the hashes are compromised. Number 2 comes down to encouraging better password behaviour among your users. Not enforcing password rotation is seen as a way of encouraging better password behaviour by removing onerous requirements that do not actually contribute to the desired outcomes (using stronger passwords).

In addition to that, it's believed that the theoretical trade off between the two approaches is minimised by focusing more attention onto proactive monitoring.

The reasoning is based on looking at opportunity cost, and the idea that users are more likely to comply with easier to follow policies. There are better areas of security for administrators to be focusing their attention on, and you're more likely to have a positive impact on peoples behaviour the less you inconvenience them (or ideally, your policies would actually increase convenience for them).
Even supposing that it's not happening in South Africa (ANC leaders are just singing about doing it [1]), land appropriation very much happened in neighboring Zimbabwe: "By 2013, every white-owned farm in Zimbabwe had been either expropriated or confirmed for future redistribution." [2]

To bring us back to OP's question, property rights in Ghana are listed here [3] as "weak".

“The individual, in our society, works for profit; but the social purpose of his work lies in the consumption of what he produces. It is this divorce between the individual and the social purpose of production that makes it so difficult for men to think clearly in a world in which profit-making is the incentive to industry. We think too much of production, and too little of consumption. One result is that we attach too little importance to enjoyment and simple happiness, and that we do not judge production by the pleasure that it gives to the consumer.”

--Bertrand Russell, In Praise of Idleness (1932)

it's no clearer on desktop. that's actually pretty funny that the instagram graph spikes just because people are complaining about snapchat being down.

i always thought downdetector was doing something a bit more clever than just reporting the rate of tweets containing the word "instagram" or "facebook" or something. but apparently not.
True. I think Ghana has it s bit easier than other places, because they haven’t suffered a prolonged disaster. Weak countries affected by ongoing disasters get international aid which can have “dumping” effect by undercutting the native farmers and making their enterprise less viable. In countries where this happens they (aid) have to be careful they don’t end up undercutting local economies when they try to “help”,

I think it might be more helpful o think of what semantics could be supported by the everything is a file operations. A tape drive rewind() is just a specialized version of seek(), which any random access object would need to support.

The file metaphor is soooo flexible, so it’s hard for me to think of examples where it breaks down. So, what are some good examples where the file metaphor breaks down? Maybe that’s helpful?

Am I the only one who doesn’t threaten piracy when I don’t get exactly what I want for the price I want? Is it really that unusual to not take things that you shouldn’t? I mean if Hulu doesn’t have a movie I want to watch I’ll just watch something else, I won’t go take it because I feel entitled.
Sorry, I meant to reply to the op. Sorry for the confusion!
Why is it taken for granted that the company will be sued? Would you personally sue them in such a case? It feels quite strange to me as a European. Not sure if it's just a distortion of the internet but it seems like Americans are constantly afraid of getting sued and pondering about who to sue for (to me) ridiculous reasons. I mean a store is not kindergarten, the parent should be responsible and they should have enough common sense to know how a shopping cart works. Unless the shopping cart is seriously damaged and, I don't know, has sharp edges or similar unexpected danger, I don't see how the company has anything to do with it.

Is this sue-happiness due to the high medical costs?
I wonder if the same is thought to be true of the larger mangoes.

It's going to take literally an entire human generation or more for the terrible password rules of the 2000s to disappear. Forced password changes and the myriad irrational rules about acceptable password contents have been drilled into the heads of every sysadmin and security engineer for the past two decades. They were never evidence-based rules, they were just learned behaviors.

I think there are cases for that too. But it depends on your psychology. For example there are mathematicians who have studied infinities and gone insane. Others haven't. Probably other factors involved, but it helped push them over the edge.
Try finding capital, infrastructure, stable and non-corrupt government, and competent legal system in most of Africa (it is a large continent - not just Ghana, Nigeria and South Africa). Going much beyond sustenance in Africa is still a massive challenge.
I don't see anything wrong with this monetization move. Chrome users don't pay Google for the use, so Google has no obligation whatsoever to make unpaid users as happy as their paid customers. And Goolge has(could) not set any barriers for competitors to come out with superior products. If enough people switch because their dislike, Google will adjust. It's market dynamics

Obviously it will not take long until there is an app you can use to generate a fake driving license that has all the fancy anti-tampering animations. But will it be a money maker for the app creator, or will it be banned in the play store?
This is a great development for a number of reasons:

1. You've got high unemployment and a homegrown agriculture will put people to work.

2. Citizens diet is less dependent on a long supply chain

3. A local agriculture will drive down the cost of food. This will make a measurable difference in everyone's life. In America we pay 6.4% of our income for food, in Africa it's 60%. If the cost of food goes down people will have more money for other things.

If only.. there was more land. Building houses is not the bottleneck. Land is. You'd have to create a 'second floor' of land to mitigate the problem.

Yeah, my dream device would be some standard app architecture that could run on consumer routers. You buy the router and it's your family file and print server, and also is the public portal to manage your IoT devices like cameras, locks, thermostats, and lights.
I don't think most people would consider inability to predict events that will occur after your death, and the act of not committing filicide to be very serious character shortcomings.

Commodus renounced Stoicism after his fathers death, and didn't do any of the terrible things he was known for until after then either.

I wonder how many patients had their complaints written off for the six years the generic was on the market?

Or who didn't even bother reporting their complaints in the first place.
Yeah, for a lot of people it's more about trajectory than the numbers. Even going up doesn't necessarily mean anything with inflation. And it's very hard to find essentials like housing here if you don't have a lot of money. I'm not very educated on the details of all this, but something about using long term mortgages as investment vehicles seems to be screwing with the market.

I don't really understand why a low end house costs something like $100,000 but a top of the line phone costs $1,000. The education, infrastructure, and materials required to make a house are all generally speaking a lot easier to come by than all of what's required for a phone. I know you can factory build phones and you need labor for a house, but you can factory build most of what a home is made of, too, and it's not like there isn't a lot of labor involved in all kinds of parts of a phone's journey (design, marketing, manufacturing, transportation, sales). I guess most of it has to do with land being finite and all the parts that make up a house? But something about that argument doesn't sit quite right with me either. It's very weird that a basic shelter, which is something people have been building themselves for thousands of years without any of the sophisticated tools we have now, is 100x more expensive than buying one of the most sophisticated, hard to design and manufacture things yet devised by man. I know houses have heating, cooling, plumbing, electricity, etc and aren't as simple as they used to be, but the price difference still seems wonky.

For a while I fantasized about building an obscenely simple house and living like a monk to save money and see how minimal I could get. I've done some camping and feel like I'd be happy living in a tent with a YMCA membership. But that's really not an option. There's no where to put up a tent or even a very modest little shack without paying tens of thousands of dollars for a strip of land to put it on, and you're never going to find much other than apartment buildings close to most of the places the work is. So even without the social stigma of living in a tent, you can't really do it.

I'm not saying life for the average person in Africa is better, and I generally agree with the sentiment that most Americans under-appreciate all the comforts of modern life.

But what's frustrating about the whole thing is there's not really a way to opt-out, and the entry price here for "being a normal part of society" seems to require most middle or lower class people to go into debt. It's a wonky, unnatural set up.
I would say, to be pedantic, that your pay isn't set by the market "really," because of market distortions of all kinds.

Like doctors are highly paid for a number of reasons one of which is cause the APA restricts the number of doctors that can be trained, but also because of the nature of the finance of healthcare in America, and the cost of training doctors. None of those is determined purely based on the market really.
I've run into this a lot in other software as well.

I disagree. I think it largely depends on the work you do. If you are doing something you dont enjoy.or don't find meaningful, the work is just a means to an end. But for many people a job is something they derrive meaning from, many craftspeople have notions of pride in their work. I think probably the best example is people who work with the mentally handocapped, studies reveal they tend to be the happiest and most fulfilled, likely because they are getting that sense of fulfillment from their work.

I think the author is wrong about our work culture impaacting peoples need for work. I think people actually want to feel like they are contributing to society, like they are useful. The question to me isnt how do we create less work, its how do we make work more meaningful for people

I don't know if I would even remotely trust that not to leak. The same watch is notorious for not having a quality seal and quickly fogs up in the shower. I would rather trade some meters and use straight up petroleum jelly injected into the casing at a high pressure; I'd be much more comfortable wearing that (and, yes, it is technically a liquid even at "freezing" temperatures).
Netflix streaming has never been a one stop shop for movies. It has usually had a relatively weak line up. They had deals with STARZ early on and later Epix that helped.

I wonder if the bubble is mostly an issue with franchising coming out of Acti-Blizzard and Riot Games? The CGS (championship gaming series, mentioned in article) crushed CS in North America and it didn't pick back up until CS:GO came out. It was also franchised.

Population density/internet quality may have something to do with it as well. Europe and South Korea seem to have stronger esports scenes for just about every game. The players from those regions tend to be better, and they have more tournaments located there.

It's never been a one stop shop for movie streaming. Let's not forget they started as a Blockbuster competitor that mailed you DVDs, and they had (have?) a pretty big catalog of those.

>encounters that already exist in some grey area of drunkenness and consent are more likely to be viewed as assault when the man is "other", i.e. black or minority. But this seems awful.

I agree with you but I'd like like to point out that this is just saying "it's not creepy when attractive people do it" but adding another couple dimensions (race and similiar) to "attractive" which is, as you said, awful. I can't think of any circumstances in which a double standard like that, especially one predicated on circumstances that are in large part outside one's control (hitting the gym won't make you 6'4", clearly being a star athlete didn't help this guy) is acceptable.
Reminds me of the fantastic movie The Abyss (1)...vaguely recall a similar scene where there's N tanks of oxygen for N+1 people, so they submerge 1 of the crew to lower her (i think) metabolic rate.

I will find movies that fall off the back of a truck onto my Plex server. But often, it’s not worth the hassle and I’ll just rent it from iTunes. For TV shows, I’ll pay For a month to stream a few shows I care about.

That being said, we do have Netflix free through T-mobile, Hulu mostly for my sons, Amazon Prime, and DC Universe for the few originals and the comics.

We also have DirecTVNow mostly for my wife.

I agree with the anti-woman sentiment as a father, and I will give you a few examples. As soon as a woman is pregnant, there are countless things off the table: no cheese, no caffiene, no wine or drinking of any kind, no deli meats, no sushi, etc. Some of those are nebulous and out of date - deli meat and cheese in particular. They are recommended to be avoided because of listeria risks, but how often have you heard of listeria outbreaks in cheese or deli meat? This was more common in the 50s when standards were lower. Now I see listeria outbreaks more often in packaged salads that are processed en masse. But the restrictions never go away, just added. The reigning idea is "why risk it"? This applies to almost everything from day one of pregnancy through childhood.

Pregnant women are told to avoid countless things (including most medication) and heavily modify their behavior (avoid milk, tomatoes, grains etc.) for infinitesimal or non-existent benefits. When you dig into the source of the advice, most of the time it comes from the fact running studies on pregnant women is very litigious so drug companies simply recommend "avoid" and wash their hands of the problem. Other countries have very different guidelines and procedures.

that's just the tip of the iceberg in the U.S. The entire birthing experience is built around saving the baby and the mother is an afterthought. This is shown in statistics where the death rate rate of mothers is higher than in many 3rd world countries. We keep finding more ways to keep babies alive (healthy or not) and force babies to be born (wanted or not). Very little thought is given to the holistic and human goal of the entire enterprise of having children and that is extremely damaging for not just mothers but fathers and the extended family and communities in general.
