anyone successfully got mastodon to work with nextcloud, and use it on daily basis?

Thanks
I would put money on that being absolutely, positively, patently false.

In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if data could be generated that shows cyber bullying on Facebook results in more child suicides than children murdered in school shootings per year.
I would say the Google strategy was wrong.

For every AWS API with significant adoption, Google should have implemented it. Make transitioning from AWS to GCE as simple as possible.
Too big to use for novel reading.
Much like crimes using a gun are against the law doesn't stop criminals from using guns. Laws against backdoor-less encryption won't stop criminals from using encryption without a backdoor.

I'd be surprised if most of the "child sex abuse" and "terrorism" traffic isn't already encrypted.
The content farms (and Wikipedia) are modern day version of the print publications.

Wouldn't it be ironic if pg was paid by a PR firm to write this piece? :D
That is true for the spherical part of the lens. When you start to look into the correction of astigmatism (done by the cylindrical component of the lens) it become a whole lot more complicated.
> The current government requests to be able to access encrypted info with a warrent are an extension of what currently happens in physical space.

The key difference, to me, is that the current setup where the police can kick in the door to get in does not require subjects to make it any easier / more convenient for the police. If they have to raid and break in and get an approval, they will, but I am not required to arrange my locks or my furniture to help.

In fact, I am free to do the opposite. For example, I can put the things I do not want to share (private photos, detailed plans to become the world dictator, etc.), in an incinerator safe and try to destroy them if the doors are flying in. My 2c.
If that's the case I absolutely hate to know what is the experience that you have.

Google is absolutely clueless in sales to enterprise. The only thing that they throw at enterprise is CAF and everyone has CAF, it is just called something else.
It’s not very well laid out and the iconography is not the best.
"The censor was a magistrate in ancient Rome who was responsible for maintaining the census, supervising public morality, and overseeing certain aspects of the government's finances.

The power of the censors was absolute: no magistrate could oppose their decisions, only another censor who succeeded them could cancel it.

The censors' regulation of public morality is the origin of the modern meaning of the words censor and censorship."
Some ISPs do not allow you to bring your own equipment, or if you do, they will charge you regardless per month for a "rental" of something you don't have from them.
With that criteria, I would never be able to get my team complete. Most of the time I get existing employees transferred to me, I have to accept what I get or do the work myself (which is not possible). With new hires it's not easier, I interviewed candidates for 6 months without finding anyone (we don't pay so well, even if we are in top 50 in Fortune 500) and some director simply transferred me someone to fill in the role. I am just a senior manager, I said no but I was overranked and overruled.
I'm not surprised that fungi as a causative agent for cancers (and that by extension anti-fungals might be cancer protective).

It was once believed stomach ulcers were due to acid imbalance and we now know many types of stomach ulcers are due to infection and treatment with antibiotics is the proper course of treatment.

I think that more research in this line will be very productive. I believe that he balance/imbalance of the body's fauna will eventually be shown to be the root trigger of many other issues. Knowledge like this is invaluable because it can quickly turn major health concerns into preventable diseases.

It's not just about our genetics, it's about our interplay between our genetics and our environment.
Counterpoint (playing devil's advocate) - if we ban e2e encryption platforms (or require a backdoor), then anyone found to be using a non backdoored tool is suspicious, reducing the effort required for law enforcement investigations.
Iranian Hackers Targeted Presidential Campaign, Microsoft Says
If you fill out the "Sharing books by email" in Calibre's settings, you can just right-click a book -> "Connect/share", "Email to example@kindle.com". It'll do the conversion for you (if necessary).

I'd advise a separate email address for this functionality.
Right, I agree with you. In so many ways the deck is stacked. What I'm saying is that by far the number one thing people can do to improve their situation is to work hard and fight the prevailing culture. Nothing else will provide gains or opportunity like that. Even if someone fails, it's really the best chance they will have.
I feel like Assam tea works best with milk. When having without milk, I prefer Darjeeling.
I'm not shocked that Joe and Hunter golfed together, or that Hunter's business partners were there too. But there remains 0 evidence that Joe did anything wrong, and even the daily mail says that in the article you linked.

I suppose it depends on the amount of lock-in they can achieve, if it's hard to move from one provider to another then that will keep margins higher.
Applicable across mostly everything, right? Relationships, business, Amazon product reviews.....
I keep pressing my work to never take a job from AIPAC again because as a "progressive" company you can't be "progressive until palestine"
Twitter's group chats are just DMs with multiple recipients, which Mastodon supports too.

In Mastodon (or most ActivityPub software), a DM thread can even be splitted and recipients added/removed at any point.
Well that's my point isn't it? You saved money but you have no idea why or where it went. If the company was in dire straights, you could probably answer that question.

This is what middle management does, in my experience. They cut costs in different parts of a company without care of why, the point is only to make themselves look better. Who cares if employees are less happy, we saved almost enough to pay 1/4 of a new employee's salary! Who cares if the steel we're using is a lesser quality, do you have any idea how much money that saves? Who cares if our product now only works for 1/5 of the time because we removed voltage protection in a few spots, that saved us literally whole pennies per hundred units!

I mean it's not like the kitchen just appeared from the ether now is it? At some point, your company put it there, and decided to stock it with certain food and drink. So what changed?

This is why I will never work in a big corporation if I can help it. It's just a race to the bottom in every aspect.
An old parking enforcement technique is to put a chalk mark on a car's tire: if you come back after two hours and see the same car with the marked tire you know that it has parked too long and can be ticketed.

The 6th circuit recently ruled that is an unconstitutional search[1]: a government agent is physically intruding on a private area (your car) and searching it for information (how long it's been there).

Neat stuff.

That wouldn’t solve the issue. In fact it might the problem worse.
"The unit could report compound annual growth of 55% between 2018 and 2022, and reach annual sales of about $38 billion by 2025, the analysts wrote."

I'm curious how they're making basing these predictions since Google Cloud revenues aren't currently reported.
I apologize for going off topic, but if the author is reading this (perhaps I should email him instead), please be informed that your work has been plagiarized on Amazon, by a book called "Python Programming: A Step By Step Guide From Beginner To Expert" [1]. Read the first few pages of the print book's "Look inside" and you'll see a word for word copy of the book.

Not only did they plagiarize your work, but they did a really poor job of it too. The print is full of formatting issues. The code blocks are not properly indented, which is not only poor style but also broken given that python is white-space sensitive. And bizarrely enough the letter "q" is continuously in bold throughout the whole book. You can easily verify this from the pictures by the reviewers. I don't actually own a copy of the book myself.

To make matters worse (or better?), they only decided to include the first four chapters, ending at "Conditional Execution". Yes, the plagiarized book claims to be a guide "from beginner to expert", yet it didn't reach the chapters on loops and functions!

If you read the reviews, you'll quickly notice that it's full of fake five-star reviews with very vague sentences, some of which don't even make sense. You'll also (now) see a lot of real one-star review, which means that quite a number of people have fallen for this scam.

Surprisingly, one of the fake reviewers even got in Amazon's top 100 reviewer list. Check the profile of "Kip Krenz" [2], who is currently at rank #53. Somehow he managed to review two to four books on a near daily basis for maybe a year or more, mostly five-stars (the rest are four-stars) and full of generic sentences. The books reviewed are most likely "fake" as well. They often fall under one of the following: a beginner book, a self-help book, a cookbook, a trading book, or a book on one of the latest fads.

This book is unfortunately just one of the many fake books (not the jazzy kind) that have proliferated on Amazon. If you look at the other recommendations, you'll probably find another one of these books (Python seems to be one of those profitable topics).

A common technique used by these books is to put themselves under some niche category in order to get a high rank. For example, this book categorized itself under "Microsoft C & C++ Windows Programming" [3], and is currently at #9 there (it used to be #1, but thankfully the real reviews probably dragged it down). For a more peculiar example of this, take a look at what's #1 under "Windows XP Guides" [4].

Sorry for going on a tangent with such a long wall of text. I spent a night "investigating" this whole thing a few weeks ago, and after seeing this post, thought that it would be best to spread awareness of the issue here.

I've seen the phrase "busy to death" ("忙死了"), and "missed you to death" ("念死了"), so I think Chinese are just more prone to die of extreme emotions. ;-)
PC master race is clearly intended to be a tongue-in-cheek circle-jerk about the rivalry between PC gaming and consoles, its not intended to be taken seriously. 90% of the people in that sub have consoles.
You say it's not a good argument but you don't say why. I think it's appropriate, insofar as it's the very government that's made these things safer, improved the lives of their citizens by getting involved.

The exact same mechanisms are available to fight both car deaths and malicious actors. Why do we trust the government to do one but not the other?

(Keep in mind I'm NOT in favor of backdooring crypto, I just don't think "but the government is corrupt" is a good argument against it)
Are the DRM removal plugins compatible with v4?
> only a fraction of us will do well, and the rest are going to really struggle and that is unnecessary.

I'm not entirely sure it's unnecessary. Not everyone can live an upper middle class lifestyle.

My main message is that there's culture changes that can and must be enacted within those communities or individuals that will provide opportunity.
> commuting is certainly more dangerous

Commuting being a seemingly more dangerous activity doesn't preclude commuters from being a lower-risk-of-injury group. Age could be another factor -- older riders are more likely to be injured in motorcycle accidents, and might be less likely to commute or lane-split.

The study is crap. It lacks the data to control for other factors and draw meaningful conclusions about much of anything.

I fully expected this article to discover/declare that Robert was a Bad Person and therefore we must abandon RRoO. My knee-jerk conclusion wasn't far off. Not Robert, but his heirs are the Bad People.

The premise of this article is the problem, not Roberts Rules themselves, regardless of edition: That if person A invented thing B, then no matter how useful thing B may or may not be, it is the character of person A, not the utility of thing B, that determines whether we can use it.

Enough of this crap. Enough of outrage farming. Enough of guilt-by-association ad absurdum. RRoO, like any other invention or discovery, stands or falls on its own merits.

I've seen RRoO used tyrannically to suppress debate, and I've seen them used wisely. No set of rules is going to perfectly fix contentious interactions or political underhandedness. Even consensus-based alternatives can be and are manipulated.
Commissions, baby.
The ad business is almost completely margin, almost any other business is going to be lower margin.
I think the point was that Microsoft has typically been very present in "enterprise" - lots of sales people in lots of industries with lots of connections and lots of experience making the sales and doing the deals. Google less so.

The hardware is just the hidden infrastructure that businesses don't really care about as long as it meets the SLAs, like I don't care about what the physical building materials are when I go and buy groceries or get my hair cut so long as the building meets it's SLAs (which for a building is I guess not falling down when I am inside it etc) I just want the service.
> they're always the same square shape and its always about fancy keyswitches, RGB, and little else.

This is where I disagree. I had severe hand and arm tendon pain for years, and finally dove into ergonomic mechanical keyboard options. It solved my issues, and I no longer feel the pain after typing all day.

I easily spend $350+ for a keyboard, and it's a very practical, life-changing decision, which involves a non-rectangular, non-RGB keyboard.

I don't think digital technology needs to apply here at all. Before there were phones, were authorities able to stop you and look through your personal papers or briefcase or other personal effects you were carrying, without probably cause or a warrant? I don't think. A phone isn't any different, it's just a lot smaller than a briefcase.
It did until 2017 when I traded my 2015 MBP for a new one.

If you liked your MBP good for you. I'm not sure why me not liking mine makes you mad.
I'm no expert, but you clearly have no idea what you're talking about. You're confidently making strong assertions that are wrong or in some cases not even wrong.

Isn't black start almost always provided via a distant grid connection? Do you work in transmission or generation?

As I understand it, in the US, the NRC prohibits nuclear power plants from providing black start, for safety reasons: https://www.energy.gov/sites/prod/files/2019/05/f62/Hydro-Bl...

From the same source: "Historically, power systems
have relied heavily on hydropower plants for black start capability. ... About 40% of the units in the United States maintained and tested for providing black start are hydropower turbines, although hydropower makes up only about 10% of overall US generating capacity."

It also answers the question of what is usually used, namely, gas combustion turbines — in the US, that is. Gas turbines provide over 50% of both black start capability and black start events in the US.

Maybe nuclear plant black start diesel generators do provide black start in some other countries? Where? Bueller? Bueller?
If you could just not do something to not need lawyers and accountants, then yes, the same logic would apply. You can obviate the need for the compliances required of a public company by not becoming a public company.
The UN estimates for Chernobyl are based on the known bad LNT model for radiation exposure. Anything approaching 4,000 is unlikely if you apply more realistic models.
The article says there are lots of side effects, but anti-fungals are pretty commonly prescribed for things like toe-nail fungus and yeast infections. Liver function needs to be monitored.

And yes, I'm sure there are likely beneficial fungi that live on/in humans. While beneficial bacteria have been studied for years now, we just don't know as much about beneficial fungi.
That's mostly true, but I think you're going a little too hard against the role of the anti-mask laws. Nobody is saying they were the main weapon against the Klan or were essential or anything like that. They were a useful weapon against them though.

I don't have solid sources on this, but I'm pretty sure the masks were most useful for Plausible Deniability. Local officials didn't really want to fight the Klan, true. They still had to answer to State and Federal officials and out-of-state newspapers though. Klan members wearing masks allow them to claim to anybody asking tough questions that they can't do anything more against those people because they don't know who they are. (And allow them to deny some of them are infact members)

It's often tough to discuss logistics issues like this on boards. Everybody wants to find One Big Reason for something, and declare every other reason irrelevant. In reality, most large efforts to solve large issues require lots of different tactics. Often, no one tactic is "key" or "essential", but they all help out a little to achieve a goal. Taking away any one won't doom you or anything, but it will make things take a little longer and go a little harder.
As others have said, this is an app I have an absolute love/hate relationship with.

I really appreciate all the work the dev puts into it, but it’s a slow app that just isn’t very usable. It’s not just that it’s ugly, it’s that it’s poorly designed. And yet, nothing else even comes close to doing what it does.

I even wrote out a spec for a similar app that was built using a more modern framework/usable interface, that some friends and I could potentially build, but the task was so monumental and the return on investment (and I’m not even talking about money) seemed so small, we shelved it.

That said, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that DeDRM is the reason a lot of us use the app — I know it’s a key for me — and that does have an excellent CLI tool.

There are also some good iOS apps that work with the book server, for accessing lots of ebooks. Even then tho, those apps are labors of love where the core audience is both critical and shockingly cheap (I say shockingly b/c many pay thousands on ebooks and ereaders a year — it’s an enthusiast market). One look at the MobileReads forums (a fantastic resource) for any specific app, and I kind of understand why we don’t have a “good” Calibre that is OSS for paid for that matter.
Which is pretty sad. It's part of what this country (USA) was founded on.
I was mentioning that we should write a list of top 10 anti bitcoin maximalists as well, does anybody had anything?
A Swiss Lesson in Enlightened Street Design
That’s clickbait and not very constructive. Fun to read, maybe, but it probably won’t be for Kovid and it won’t help make Calibre better.
We switched to jkcfg (https://jkcfg.github.io) for many of these same reasons and are very happy. Text templating on structured data is wrong for many reasons, and kustomize is quite inflexible. "Eww Javascript" but everybody knows it.

jkcfg reduced the amount of configuration code/data in our system by an order of magnitude or so.
They know how to sell to old stodgy Fortune 500's.

Google is excruciatingly awkward in the room with that group. Amazon is in the middle.
O M G. Have been after a test UI framework like this for years
This is just awesome. http://courgette-testing.com/ It just fell onto my desk. Started playing with it, was instantly away using it. I have been playing with it non-stop all day and I have structured tests that just work on my React app. The snippets/intellisense IDE injector thing is cool too, helped me create some smoke tests fast!
> "Machines are taking control of investing..... Funds run by computers that follow rules set by humans"

One of the points that the article makes is that this statement is changing, that computers are increasingly creating their own rules. The literal next sentence:

"New artificial-intelligence programs are also writing their own investing rules, in ways their human masters only partly understand."

You're right though, that the responsibility still falls on the humans. Anybody running algos that they don't understand should ensure that they are covered from a legal/ethical perspective.
In my experience their customer support is poor even if you are a paying customer. It's cultural and it goes right to the top, they don't like interacting with people.
I've tried to use several different gcp services. I am forced to use their UI for setting up google play services and the documentation never matches the UI. Their pubsub services, when I tried to use them had broken documentation. It just feels cobbled together everytime I dip back into it.

Manhattan? Manhattan seems like a grid made for cars. Not place full of "nooks an crannies". I'm not saying it's not nice but it doesn't seem to fit the article at all. Most European cities are a wonderful mess of winding roads. Manhattan is mostly a grid. They don't seem comparible.
Including cable internet we're paying around $107/mo for 4 services. For cable and internet it would be nearly $300/mo when all the taxes and fees. Not sure it's not a deal to cut cable. We might add sports for another $10 a month.
Why does this argument get made so much? Why is it assumed that the market will behave this way?
Google is another A, too (Alphabet).
This study followed 23 to 35 year olds. This is post college for most people. Probably a good reason to not go to grad school (income drop) unless you have a financial buffer!
Thank you, as someone with no C++ background, this example makes the issue at hand much clearer.
You don't have to go down to your police station with a copy of your key every time you change you lock, which some of the "solutions" imply. Further, there are no laws for how strong of a door you can build: you're more than welcome to have a safe with a 3-ft thick steel door and an unpickable lock, that'd take a professional a month to get through.
Your username is 'zoidberg'. Hatin' on your fellow crustaceans, eh?
Which company does that? There aren't any plans like that in my area. Both Comcast and Verizon have gigabit a la carte here.

The two are often indistinguishable from each other.

You have a very wise perspective for your age. Good luck to you.
