I kind of agree. This is the sort of thing which should be handled through a $500 lawsuit, not a $50 million law suit:

* Namecheap should say: "That's not our problem. It's up to the courts. Get a warrant."

* Facebook should say "okay."

* Namecheap should notify the domain holder, and let them fight it if they want.

* If they don't fight it, Facebook should have a short filing explaining the problem and asking for a release of information.

If it's reasonable, the judge should sign it, and Namecheap should give up the information. If it's unreasonable, the judge should not sign it.

It's how courts should work, and it's how due process should work.

> If sites needed their users to pay them, the quality of the content might go up dramatically

What do you mean by "if"? There are already many sites that require users to pay them (e.g. The New York Times) but everyone simply circumvents their paywalls.

Every method that high-quality sites use to generate the revenue they need to operate is defeated either by ad blockers or someone reproducing their content outside their paywalls. You may be right that news and reporting are not viable, but it is a shame.
Macintosh Programmer’s Workshop had something similar in 1986 (http://mirror.informatimago.com/next/developer.apple.com/too...). It was incredibly useful.

Apple’s first Unix copied that in 1988 (http://toastytech.com/guis/aux3.html)

Powershell has ‘Show-Command’ which also is similar (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft...)

I think PowerShell generates the GUI, while MPW commando had human-designed dialogs (and, for complex commands such as compilers, sub-dialogs)

I think this is worth copying in modern Unixes. Those GUIs make it way easier to use rarely used flags than man pages.

I'm not understanding how there could be "no selection pressure" for a virus. Since human bodies vary and infection is a complex process, it seems to me there's always selection pressure. And especially given that this appears to have recently made the jump from another species [1], there's no reason to think that the virus was somehow perfectly adapted to all of humanity.

If you're honest about it, and the customer is prepared to pay your asking price for the computer generated art, then it's no issue.

All collectors are individuals - you'd have to ask them whether/how much they are prepared to pay if they know the art is synthesized. All I'm saying is that pretending it's generated directly by a human instead of a human-driven algorithm is unethical. Whether they can tell the difference or not on their own is beside the point.

Speaking for my office and the offices of friends:

Between lay people buying up existing stock, and disruptions to production in China, we are seeing shortages. Some of our suppliers are restricting us to historical orders (if you usually ordered 5 boxes/mo, that's what you're getting), others are restricting us to flat-out number caps (3 boxes/mo, period).

They are not taking new accounts, even from medical practices.

My office practice is such that we have very low historical usage, and in this climate can't increase orders to keep up with the current level of caution patients prefer. I've ended up ordering P100s instead of surgical masks or N95s because they're the only thing I could get a hold of (and more effective than N95s), just to have something in the closet in case of a surge in need. I had to get it from an industrial supplier, and my understanding is that my modest order cleaned them out.

It ain't great.
Yes, what does work to access a resume mean? Log into a site perhaps?
Well, the OP just tested how well masks filter particles, and made comments based on these results. They didn't actually study health outcomes, while the review I linked did find studies of health outcomes but didn't find any statistically significant results.

On balance, masks in general usage probably help a tiny bit, but it it's much more important to wash your hands properly, so you're better of buying soap and paper towels.
I am the only coffee drinker in my household. The Aeropress can easily make one, good, cup of coffee at a time, quickly, and it’s easy to clean.

I’m confused. Is “means-tested” supposed to be a degrading adjective? Because I think the fact our existing social safety nets are “means-tested” is exactly why people have doubts about UBI.

I thoroughly enjoy riding my bike to work at and beyond -40(C/F), and am always out snowshoeing, snowboarding, ice fishing, bison hunting etc when it's in range of -25 to -40C.

The coldest I ever saw was -48C (-54.4F) as a daytime high (before the windchill). It was about a degree colder overnight. It was glorious, and I hope to crack -52C so I will have seen a 100C temperature swing (it was once +48C in my hometown in Australia)

Can you explain how using the court system to get what they want is an attack on due process?

(My personal perspective on this, to help you understand the tone I'm using, is that NameCheap is doing the Right Thing by not cooperating without a subpoena, and Facebook is doing the Right Thing by protecting their users from phishing attacks by shutting down the attackers, and the court will do the Right Thing by arbitrating within the context of the laws.)
That makes a lot of sense to be very supportive of your coaches. Maybe also keep it to a small cohort initially... As I’ve meet various gig workers one common complaint is that many feel like there are too many of them competing for too small deals or that they find it difficult to match deals with their specialty and end up passing or getting passed over because there wasn’t a perfect match in skills / career history. Back on the hippa topic... to me just even saying we talk to a psychologist about our kids development has stigma. Like what’s wrong your kids or you... so just even having an account May be a problem for some parents... also I bet quite a few will ask about using fsa dollars (which I assume you won’t be able to take) but maybe something to look into. Stigma aside I bet a lot of employers would pay for part or all of the fees as a perk.

I don't know enough about the topic, so take this with a grain of salt, but I wouldn't be surprised if the market for small trucks isn't big enough to justify a NAFTA facility, but the 25% tariff on imports is enough to make importing light trucks (which are immensely popular in a lot of the world) a non-starter.

That is, consider a bare-bones light truck with MSRP of $18K. After the tax, it becomes 23K. You can get an F150 for 28K, so in America you might as well get the bigger truck. Whereas if it were $18K vs $28K that would draw some of the market towards the smaller imported truck. And if some of the market is drawn towards the import, domestic makers might be forced to compete (e.g. with the Ranger).

I personally would want it see extended in areas where fraud is common. I don't think grocery store fraud is very common, misleading domain names however are exceedingly common and a huge problem so I don't really see what the issue is with extending those expenses.

Mind you someone always has to pay these expenses when fraud occurs, they don't vanish and I would like to see it allocated in such a way that it gives an incentive to prevent fraud, not protecting it.
I think I'd agree.

I find SaaS is just outsourcing, and for whatever reason, management types need to come to understand that outsourcing is not always cheaper. It entirely depends on the circumstances.

Most businesses typically see IT as a cost center because they don't understand what IT is. The ones who outsource don't realize that a highly competent IT staff will both cost a lot of money and appear like they aren't working hard or doing a lot. So in the short term it looks like outsourcing (SaaS) is a way for the company to save costs, than doing things in house.

Frankly, the best analogy to SaaS/outsourcing I can think of is leasing cars...

It's cheaper in the short term to lease a car (i.e. outsource), than to buy a car (i.e. "do in house"). However in the long run it's generally cheaper to own a car than lease one. The exception is, if you have a need for a new car every 2-3 years, then leasing will be cheaper than always buying a new one every 2-3 years...

I think the same analogy applies to Renting vs Buying a house.

Anyhow, I'd argue most businesses would be better off in the long run doing things in house, but that requires paying more for upfront for talent (which makes such a prospect seem more expensive at first glance).

Wow wow that guy should not be in jail. That is just PVC.

I think a lot of people think RSS is dead because they never see it promoted anywhere. Pretty much every web site has a row of social media icons, but hardly ever is there an RSS icon in the row, even if the web site supports it.

Frankly, I don't think most people who run web sites even know that the framework/CMS/rolfburger they're using automatically publishes RSS feeds for them.

Yesterday I stumbled across an app called Fraidy Cat, which is supposed to be a privacy-focused news ingester. I haven't done much with it yet, but I was surprised when I pasted in the URLs of several newspapers that I read, the program showed RSS feeds for all of them. None of the paper web sites have any mention of RSS at all.

Edit: Even the New York Times has RSS:

I like my aeropress, and used to use it with beans from my local roasters.

But as of late I've switched back to just making regular ol' drip coffee in a cheap coffee maker with Chock full 'o nuts coffee.

As easy as an aeropress is compared to other quality brewing methods, I still find the drip machine much easier -- load up the filter and water, walk away, come back and pour a cup. (Plus, I can't seem to get my aeropress not to also pee down the side of the mug as I press it down)

Somehow, my coffee experience hasn't degraded at all. No, it doesn't taste the same, but to me it's still totally fine, and almost always a better coffee than the drip I get from most coffee shops.

Amazing coffee in an aeropress is just a white whale for me.

I’m not sure education is a very high-resolution or effective signal for much, and I think its dilution as a signal would help force us to find a better one. I’m curious though, given how self-assured you seem: what do you think education signals right now?

> As I mentioned:

There's a limit to how much you can tax corporations until they just up and leave. Just ask Sweden in the 70's.

> To be fair, it's true that won't cover the entire bill. However, between reducing spending in other welfare programs, the increase in economic output and implementing a VAT, the gap closes pretty quickly.

All UBI programs I've seen also require deficit spending. And good luck canceling other welfare programs.

> Let's also not forget the second- and third-order benefits to society and the economy that will result from most of the population having more purchasing power and economic freedom.

People will have more dollars, but between increased taxes and inflation from deficit spending, I'm very suspect that people will have more purchasing power.

> Do you think it's fine that Amazon and friends pay next to nothing in taxes by exploiting the tax code? Why are we (taxpayers) subsidizing mega corps who are making money hand over fist?

I have no idea what Amazon should pay in any moral sense, but I'm fine with taxing them more so long as

1) A marginal increase in tax rates would increase net revenues (and not drive jobs/business offshore)

2) The increase in tax revenue was for a compelling public interest (not merely because "they're not paying their fair share") OR because it involved closing a tax exemption that was not available to their competitors (so that the market stays competitive)

Not necessarily. I think the key is not to take a job that is defined as being a technical resource. Because as long as you do, you will be a member of the techie caste that exists to be plugged in to the existing cultural problems.

What you need to do to break free is simple, but not necessarily easy - get a job with no technical requirements, but which has the potential for technical/cultural solutions.

This is the direction I eventually went in, and one thing I find interesting and notable is that even after solving all sorts of things through programming, people aren't letting me withdraw into just being a programmer - which I think is a good thing. Once I write a program to do something, then I have to document it, then I have to train other people to use it, and then we have to develop contingency plans to do without it if I should be hit by the proverbial bus. And maybe figure out how to get another developer up to speed to maintain it. If I were an actual programmer/developer, then all the different jobs would be pretty much left to other specialists and managers.

Maybe some people would say, just join a startup or make your own, and you will become more well-rounded, but I'm not swamped with offers to do that and have worked in larger organizations.
I think I sort of take my internet access for granted. Because I never use RSS since at any time I can open a browser or an app and get the news.

Imo there are two uses for RSS. 1) People who still scroll through a digest of news at certain times in their day. I envy these people for their disciplined habits.

2) And having a service that syncs news to your device via RSS for when you're not online.

SaaS seems like a trap.

Step 1) Offer artificially cheap software to replace employees.

Step 2) Attracted by low prices and productivity, employers adopt software.

Step 3) Software works. Employers lay off employees.

Step 4) SaaS vendor needs to make profit, raises prices significantly.

Step 5) Software is no longer cost-effective to employer, but employer doesn't have employees to fall back on.

I keep thinking about your question and you know one book that was really helpful to me was written by a friend — https://www.amazon.com/Family-Board-Meeting-Jim-Sheils/dp/13...

It’s less of a book than maybe an introduction to a framework he uses with his coaching clients. It’s not Hemingway but the key insight he exposed for me was that entrepreneurial parents raise kids with higher rates of depression. I don’t think he did a study to arrive at this conclusion but it was more an observation of people he knew. So he created a way for parents to engage their children using a format called the family board meeting. It’s basically a four hour one on one session doing an activity of the kids choosing without a cell phone involved. Kind of obvious but very hard to commit to when your business needs constant attention.
Perhaps instead of “many existing social programs” I should’ve said “some”. I agree food stamps and housing are good candidates to be replaced at least partially by UBI.
