This whole thing could be turned into a great opportunity to start a sister website for content not related to sports.

I mean, they already got the publicity about it, right? They can even play a "by the writers" angle.
>For example, Japan...

I'm not sure a country that's essentially stagnated for the past 20 years (in economic growth terms) is a country that you want to emulate.

Really. I would have thought the dozens of sham battery sellers would be pretty easy, since they're all selling the same sham products, many endorsed as 'Prime,' for years on end with no apparent friction from anyone. It's worth a bunch of of views on Youtube to buy this junk and make yet another video about how absurd this fake crap is; you can find videos back at least has far as 2015 when you could still only find these fake products on Aliexpress.

No, I think this focus on Nintendo's interests are the result of pressure from Nintendo et al. on Amazon. Sans pressure Amazon is utterly indifferent.

I'm honestly struggling with an argument that will call drunk people sports related just because it happened in a sports stadium...all so we can defend that capital class against critiques from workers.
Isn't it boomers that just use this? And by boomers I mean anyone 30yo and over.
It’s not like this is only happening in private - Shitbook is outright giving them a storefront for selling slaves.

Now I agree that the problem can’t be 100% eliminated as at least some of it happens behind closed doors, but it would sure reduce the scale of this business if Shitbook & co weren’t around to provide a free platform for trading slaves in the open.

They should be prosecuted for complicity and not be allowed to hide behind the excuse of the “algorithm”. If your algorithm isn’t good enough to filter out this behaviour then go back to the drawing board and find a better solution. Human moderation works pretty well on forums. Oh it doesn’t scale? Well that’s a shame but it’s not a right to be profitable - if you can’t figure out a sustainable business model then don’t be in business. It’s like starting a very cheap rental car business and stealing cars for your inventory because you can’t actually afford to buy them...

> It seems like a sane defense of Comic Sans is that it's great for lettering comics

A comic typed in Comic Sans has the same problems of a novel in Comic Sans or an advertisement in Comic Sans. Unless it is done on purpose in some sarcastic way, it's perceived as a sign of low quality and bad design.

Actually, most professional comics use custom fonts, and choosing the type face is a relatively common topic of discussion between comic authors and editors.
> AirPods Pro, released in the last few days, requires macOS Catalina 10.15.1 for full compatibility.

With Apple, I suspect this is intentional to force you to upgrade. It may not be an active decision, but there is probably zero internal pushback when it happens.
Zerotier (mentioned below) is perfect for this!

To expand a little bit: it provides an (almost) zero-configuration way to set up a private 'layer 2' network that you can connect your home server to, and any other machines that you want to be able to connect to it or to each other. It handles NAT traversal completely transparently.

In practice, it means that if I have a (say) NFS server connected to a Zerotier network I control, I can connect to it transparently from anywhere from another machine on that network, no matter what NATs / firewalls either machine is behind, even if they change. Perfect for phones, roving laptops, etc. I've gone to a model where I do most of my development (over mosh/tmux) on my home machine, from wherever I happen to be.

No home firewall configuration needed at all.
As I stated in my comment, the writers do not appear to believe that their bosses are asking them to do anything unethical, and that would certainly be a different situation justifying a different response. Definitely, writers should use ethics in deciding what to write. Do you think that writing about sports is unethical?

To steelman your argument, you may say that it would be unethical for the writers to not write about something they felt needed to be known, and I think I would agree with that. But that doesn't mean their bosses have to put it up on their site that they have decided to dedicate to sports. And it seems they are not using their freedom to, for example, expose modern day slavery, but rather to discuss music and clothing.

Finally I think these writers can do whatever they want, if they have a vision of what Deadspin is, and it doesn't agree with what management's vision is, they can push for it and quit if they don't get it. But I don't think it's necessary for this to become a moral judgment on the management that appears to just want one of their properties to be a sports site.
Don't you guys (which is definitely Facebook) use some sort of extensions that makes it not the same as a vanilla Mercurial repository?
> Facebook doesn't have a military to enforce their policies

You're merely restating this assumed division in terms of a specific. Facebook has much less business need to deploy the military than say Exxon or United Fruit, but they still have the ability.

> only convenience and network effects which make that true.

Sure, but how does that make it any less real? The ability to move between states does not invalidate gripes about your current state government. Witness the volume of user complaints. If leaving were a continually-visited fictionless choice, they would have simply left.

> That's not comparable to [the] kind of censorship

They are of different magnitudes, but they're certainly comparable. I'd much rather be subject to Facebook's censorship regime that CCPs. But they're both censorship regimes - if we don't want the former to grow closer to the latter, then it behooves us to compare them.

> Deadspin's "brand identity" _was_ that they didn't stick to sports. That's why people liked them.

Maybe as of the last few years, but it's original "brand identity" was snarky and irreverent _sports coverage_. It's aspiration was the anti-ESPN. That mantle has largely now been assumed by Barstool and others.

I usually setup a reverse ssh tunnel from the destination to a VPS I own. For example, you could setup a reverse tunnel to sshd on the destination, exposing sshd of the destination on the VPS, to which I ssh and specfiy the VPS hostname + the reverse tunnel port, which tunnels me ssh the destination host.

Also, if you can't open ports outbound at all, there's https://samy.pl/pwnat/ but it makes things very slow.
Just like Presidents, you cannot judge a CEO's job till the aftermath. That and after only deep introspection. Few cases bar exception, i.e. Steve Balmer.
The reason this is a story is that it's calling out the bullshit reasoning of management, not that management doesn't have a right to decide the content of their media properties. Many of us have sat through meetings with leadership who are endlessly rationalizing their decisions with crappy data, and felt the frustration that comes with being able to see through the half-truths. This article is interesting because they did some research and called their bluff with actual numbers.
There's a case in Australia where the scheduled claxane was not administered because the table which had the status was off screen because the table was too wide (it was scheduled, but was marked as "cancelled"). The patient died.

> I am largely confused about this whole discussion. Why are we trying to figure out if the Deadspin bosses are justified in whether they want their writers to write about sports related things?

I'm confused about your confusion. If they felt the need to make a justification public, and the justification is based on a lie and/or idiocy, would you not expect those affected by that justification (as writers, readers, or those concerned about private equity firm buyouts) to discuss it?

Moreover, what's the motivation for dissuading that discussion?
IIRC when Japan hit that "2X" mark circa 1991 it lead to an economic stall that appears to be permanent. Their economy has been stalled / zero-growth for almost 30 years now. They are cautionary example not an aspirational one.
It seems to me that pet and termite formulations could be delivered in a way that makes it impractical to apply as a broad spectrum insecticide applied by sprayer.

But I'm not sure you're right about the termite application presenting no risk to bees. The EU banned neonicitinoids used to protect seeds from insects. On the grounds that the neonics end up in the pollen.

It's not uncommon to have flowering plants next to a foundation.
Only marginally related, but I highly recommend reading Debt: The First 5000 Years [0] by David Graeber. By examining and analyzing anthropological records, the author proposed a heterodox economic theory. Unlike the conventional economic model which says the human economic system comes from barter, currency, and finally debt/credit, the author argued that most historical evidence showed that the origin of the human economic system is actually debt/credit - The concept of debt came from the gift economy of early human communities: one friendly person shares one item to one's neighbor, and expect the neighbor provides something in return to help in the future. Barter was the extraordinary rather than the norm: it was only used with outside strangers (because they were not accountable under the human credit system of the local gift economy).

Money and currency is actually a much later development as a method to quantify the debt, in this process, subjective human emotion is removed and replaced with an autonomous and objective economic machine.

From this point, the author gave an alternative interpretation and analysis of human history. His conclusion is that the boom and bust of debt is an important driving force in human history, in this process, the debt bubble becomes bigger and bigger - until the unavoidable explosion of debt crisis. Then there will be a radical breakdown of social order, Finally, a new society is rebuilt, and all the debt from the previous society is canceled - this is a periodic cycle that occurs at a scale of 100-300 years. And the author argued, since the 1970, we have returned to (the beginning) of a new cycle.

You don't have to agree everything that the author claims, but the author is good at telling a story, and it's a fascinating read. My summary is not exactly what the author said, the Wikipedia article the P2P Foundation Wiki [1] has a better summary, it includes transcripts of interviews.

> Nothing whatsoever. I believe the GP is just scratching their head in confusion as to why this is such a story, because, as you both point out, it shouldn't be.

Because of the aspect of this that GP is ignoring: there's a third-party in all of this who are the ones making a lot of the noise about it: the audience.

Deadspin built a dedicated following among readers who very much enjoyed their eclectic, not just sports focus (as somewhat born out by this analysis showing that the non-sports content performs at least as well as, if not ouright outperforming, the sports content).

The writers, and long-serving editor Barry Petchesky, are very much aware of this, and a lot of the noise about the "stick to sports" mandate is just how idiotic this is, given that it erases the very differentiating quality that keeps the Deadspin audience coming to Deadspin, and not SBNation, or ESPN, or BarstoolSports, or the million other competitors.

This isn't so much "Bosses mandated X, and entitled employees just don't want to do X" as "Out-of-touch new Bosses mandated X, and employees rightly pointed out that this was going to kneecap the business, and then quit rather than circle their way down the drain"
There is this practice called "backing up".

If you try it, you might find you can protect your data more easily than you can protect most other things in your house if it burns down.

I think it was plenty clear what I was trying to say. I am not a native English speaker, but in German, the term "auflösen" literally means to dissolve in a solution, yet, no one would have misunderstood it in the context of space. For most people it is quite obvious, there is no solvant in space.

It's nearly as secure as going to the ATM to deposit the check and most banks are OK with the increased risk because they have extra identifiers (phone/app info) when you 'scan' the check. Which is to say the whole process is not terribly secure.

History wise it came about with the removal (or reduction) of check float when checks began to be processed electronically (turned into an ACH transaction with images of front & back being taken by the submitting bank). In the last TOS I read about check scanning what is actually happening is that your scanning of the check replaces the bank's scanning and they are using extracted data to create the ACH transaction. In the meantime they extend credit to you to match the amount they would normally advance you (varies by account and amount). It's been a while but I recall it being specifically credit as opposed to the usual 'available funds' at an ATM; this seems a distinction without a difference.

In the end - it's not secure or at least not much less secure than going to an ATM to deposit the check. The difference is that the ATM keeps the physical check for some small period of time such that if there is a problem with the ACH the bank might have physical possession of the check to assist in a fraud investigation (not that I think they'd need it as the law enabling electronic clearance I believe made the electronic images equivalent in all ways to the physical check).
