This might be the ex-marketer coming out in me, but surely the course guidance emails could be considered transactional to the service and be honoured by a different opt-in/out policy to the newsletter?

> I need to tell every buyer that their account is moving

Again, this use case isn't marketing, and should very much be allowed as a requirement to keep people informed about the use of their data. In the same way a "change password" email is allowed to be sent.
But I am really excited to get to play it, to test it out, and to try out my toolset to make sure it will do what I need it to do.

Shooting should not be the starting point of law enforcement. Shooting should be a last resort. Implying that looting indiscriminately means shooting is a call to violence.

This mirrors my experience with Airflow by another SaaS. Ended up getting rid of it when our Data Warehouse introduced tasks and stored procedures, since most of our work was ELT.

How is that ironic? The doctor's recommendation sounded like it was pre-covid, or just their standard recommendation.
In past times there was a thing called compromise. Not very familiar anymore, I know. Instead of leaving a seat empty for the next ten years until the same party controls the Senate and the whitehouse (and not knowing ahead of time whether it'll be yours or not), the President can nominate a moderate which the opposition party Senate might confirm for the same reason. Better a moderate now than the other guy's candidate later.

But when you're looking at electoral math that says you're about to have even odds of taking the whitehouse and probably won't lose the Senate, that doesn't really apply.
I've read your post several times and I don't get how this duality is useful and how to apply it.

The "duality" of major/minor seems very different that "duality" of 4th and 5th. One completely changes music harmony, while other is basically interchangeable. When is it useful to think in these terms?
Pulling apart a £339 ($416) anti-5G USB stick
Trading Standards officers are seeking to halt sales of a device that has been claimed to offer protection against the supposed dangers of 5G via use of quantum technology.

Cyber-security experts say the £339 5GBioShield appears to no more than a basic USB drive.

"We consider it to be a scam," Stephen Knight, operations director for London Trading Standards told the BBC.

His said his team is working with City of London Police's Action Fraud squad.

They are seeking a court order to take down the company's website.

"People who are vulnerable need protection from this kind of unscrupulous trading," he added.
I personally enjoy this writing style a great deal. I believe it's likely inspired by the very popular series by Kyle Kingsbury (Aphyr)[1]

I didn't frame it as getting rid of diversity and inclusion, that's just usually how the roles are defined. But you're missing my point completely (maybe intentionally?). I'm just saying that we should talk about specific administrators or administrative units, not "administration is too big". So let's talk about that, not whether your framing of my framing of the university's framing is accurate.

And you'll see that this is effective, because now when you ask those more specific questions, there are potentially good discussions.

Like "Why is there a Dean of the College of Athletics that isn't also handling athletics and the parts of title IX that are relevant" and someone might wonder if it makes sense (based on your proposed structure) for the Dean of Athletics to be handling rape cases, and whether they have the expertise to deal with the federal regulations that come with Title IX.

Or "Why can't the Dean of the College also handle grants for their college?" and someone might wonder why it makes sense for someone responsible for undergraduate education (which might not involve research in some universities) to handle grants, which is usually related to graduate education and research (and in many fields, don't involve students at all).

Or "administrators in admissions ought to be handling [diversity and inclusion]" and someone might wonder if there should not be someone also responsible for diversity and inclusion in faculty/staff/administrator hiring, or in campus policies around inclusion (like accessibility services), which are post-admissions.

Usually this is not true: they are not employees at all, contracting company also hires them as subcontractors, each of them running their own sole propertiorship (at least that's how it works in my country).

But even if they were employees, they are not really getting fired from the contracting company - it can still try and find them another gig, for a different client. So you can say they are not getting fired at all, just suddenly have no work to do (but still have a valid employment contract).

Of course if contracting agency can't find them another position in reasonably short time they will fire them as well, but that's not on Google anymore, so Google can't be sued for that.
We've had "Add List-Unsubscribe Header" on Trello for a long time, but for some reason I had it in my mind that there was a ~60 character limit.

I appreciate the post because after revisiting it, I think that info was gathered from a few-years-old blog discussing a specific limit in (maybe?) Gmail, but it sounds like it can be broken down into multiple lines.
I understand, and I would continue with this strategy if it were possible. However, it is not, everything that grows exponentially will eventually collapse.

The Club of Rome, a multidisciplinary group of scientists, published the book "Limits of Growth" in 1972, with various scenarios. In the "Business as Usual" scenario, the one of maintaining exponential growth, aims at collapse in the beginning of this century.

But as in all addictions, it is easier to find excuses and not face the problem head-on.

This book introduced me to the discipline of systems theory. It's awakened a lot of interest in this disciple that appears to be very powerful.Sadly, it has also aroused much concern.

There are solutions but they involve having the courage to change the paradigm.

Edit: This is the "Business as Usual" scenario. Even if is wrong we shouldn't risk it.

I agree. There needs to be more accountability for police.

> Not personally, of course, the payments will come out of liability insurance (and, therefore, taxpayer coffers).

I think this might actually be eminently desirable that the taxpayer is on the hook. We shoulder a lot of responsibility for our police (not the actions of any given officer, but the system that either fails to weed out 'bad apple' officers or fails to adequately train them or whatever other systemic failure is responsible) and it's right that we shoulder the cost for our lack of will to enact police reform or take it seriously. Of course, I don't think the liability--criminal or civil--is adequate in magnitude, and I would like to see more of both.
> I hate the term "these people" some of "these people" meet some of your criteria but not all.

I used "these people" to refer to the people that are not like the ones I described in my first paragraph. There are certainly those on the left and right who are decent, moral people. Would it have helped if instead of "these people" I'd said "people not like that?" Those are basically equivalent in terms of what I intended to say.

> You would likely place me in the category of "these people" because I believe social media favors the left side of arguments.

No, I think you're jumping to a conclusion that I was referring to conservatives or those on the right as a whole but nowhere in my text did I do that. I said "Trump (and many in the GOP)". I didn't make any mention of the right. There are many conservatives and people on the right who are not Republicans and I explicitly noted that there are Republicans for whom my claim doesn't apply.

I can understand being sensitive to this issue since it's hard being a conservative in progressive circles these days, but I don't think it's reasonable to construe that my comment applied to you.

> I believe in a fair an open internet, let ideas be shared and stop censoring.

I didn't state any opinion for or against what Twitter did or how Trump reacted.

But my understanding is that some carbohydrates get turned into sugar more slowly, and this "flattens the curve" of blood sugar relative to consuming sugar.

Quite the contrary. 3D displays have been around for a while and people consider them gimmicky. They are not nearly as immersive as VR. Looking Glass might be nice for conference calls and advertising displays, but I think VR will have more consumer adoption.
Net neutrality was never about the application layer, it was about the ISP layer.

Your logic is flawed and entirely unconvincing.

> In this situation, what would you make of Zoom inserting that tag line? Does it change your analysis?

It would be counter to the contractual agreements and policies that Zoom has set up. Twitter has no such obligations.

> The Zoom example might open your eyes to the other side; namely, if a private company chooses to offer a service to the government, it needs to abide by certain restrictions... and, if it doesn't like it, it need not provide that service.

The company is responsible for operating according to the terms that both it and its users agree to, and the law. That is it.

> If Twitter is hosting government officials and agencies -- in their official capacity -- there are certain restrictions it muse abide by; namely, not modifying, editorializing, or shadow-banning their posts. If Twitter doesn't like this restriction, it can choose not to host that government official or agency.

Twitter's only mistake is not reprimanding the racist hate-mongers like Trump for the policies it supposedly has. Any regular user or lesser public figure would have (and has) been banned if they tweeted the things he does.

If Twitter has agreements with these users, stating that they are immune from all of Twitter's posted rules, then sure your argument has footing. Otherwise, you don't get to hijack a platform with your own rules and because you happen to work for the government and open a free account there.
no, you're not following, but I suspect you're doing it on purpose and that was my point.

Conservatives in this country believe in "small government", "individual freedoms" and "separation between church and state" until a large slice of their electorate turns out to be religious fundamentalists, then they start mandating transvaginal ultrasounds in order to get an abortion etc...

Does that sound like intellectual honesty or good faith?
> stop using social media

>downtime is pretty much spent on reading HN

I know what you mean, but you can see the irony here, right?

It's a matter of scale, but still. I guess a city of 2 million is a bit different from a town of 200 thousand, or 20 for that matter.
Yea we really need to buck this trend, if anything we should be using city resources to prop up people affected by COVID so the cities economics don't collapse.
Both parties do this. For instance, Republicans are generally the party of "states' rights", but Democrats are jumping up and down about how the federal government shouldn't overrule the rights of liberal states now. Things like the fighting the FCC trying to prohibit states from making their own net neutrality rules, or legalizing marijuana, which is still technically illegal nationwide according to the federal government.

Generally, if you run the federal government, you don't want states objecting to your agenda. And if the opposition is running the federal government, you insist on your right to do things at the state level.

Watching Democrats and Republicans make the exact same arguments depending on whose in power is absolutely hilarious, and it leads to great soundbites, like those of Trump and McConnell talking about what the President should and shouldn't do... depending who the President is.

That's optional though. The modern media, in the interest of money, has done a good job of causing the population of the US to miscategorize themselves into D/R. If it instead focused on human welfare, then we wouldn't be in this mess.

They can, but they don't because it would be political suicide.

If the unsubscribe link goes to a third party site, it's literally indistinguishable from a phishing attempt.
You are more or less correct. The arresting officers were State Patrol; they're from all over but they're not from the community.

I have protested in St. Paul and Minneapolis many times and in general SPPD have been decent at protests, and MPD has made an effort at protests. There has been a real effort to improve community relations but there are some notable bad apples (as long as Bob Kroll is speaking for MPD employees, we are going to have trouble -- listen to any interview with him to see why.) They have experience with the Super Bowl, many Black Lives Matters protests (Philando Castile was killed in 2016), and the RNC a while ago in St Paul. I was at the RNC protests and the interaction with the police was like a dance -- a relatively polite interaction with horses and concussion grenades, in which I honestly was not that worried about bodily harm -- until the Hennepin County law enforcement came in. Whenever you bring in suburban law enforcement to the city, things get dicey.

Everyday policing has been quite different than behavior at protests. And things are different now.
Ask HN: My dad lost his job, what’s next for him?
I’m hoping the bright minds at HN have a few ideas here. My dad is awesome. He worked in traveling sales for most of his life in a non-technical field. Since the quarantine, his contracts have dried up.

He lives in a smaller town and has a preexisting condition. He’s also a few years away from Social Security, so that’s not an option at this point.

I think it’s unlikely that he’s the only person in this position among the HN parents, so I’m wondering, how are your parents doing?
Following the murder of George Floyd, and the violence between citizen and police, I can see the police as a body withdrawing from "policing" period. After Freddy Gray's death, police stopped responding to calls form west Baltimore. We want them to respond to our needs but they're not going to come if people are going to shoot at the squad cars.
Why is it repeated that Twitter is somehow a public space? It's a commercial platform. Post on your own blog if you want more freedom (to spout hate).

When my vitamin D levels tested a little low, I asked my doctor about it, and he said studies don't show any benefit for supplementing vitamin D deficiencies that are asymptomatic. At the time, I looked up the study, though I can't seem to find it now.
True, technically it's also possible to get a pancreas transplant. But in both islet cell and pancreas transplantation, the risk of rejection and the burden of immunosuppressive regimens are high enough that they are rarely ever recommended for T1 diabetics. From my understanding, it's usually only recommended for a diabetic requiring some other transplant at the same time (since they'll have to be on immunosuppressive drugs anyway).
That is a great little site you made. Thanks.

But my email platform doesn’t do that. When you hit “unsub all” you unsub all

That’s the tricky part that most “ew email is spam” folk forget. The definition of “all” can be super nuanced and most people don’t think about it.
I know an extremely high performing engineer that was on a successful but completed project (not at Google). His whole team was given a few months to find a new position. Multiple managers tried to get them on their teams, but the transfers all were blocked at a higher level.

Eventually, he asked for and got severance pay. Shortly after, during the earnings call, the leadership told the investors they were reducing engineering spend by cutting hiring and consolidating programs, but that all redundant engineers were encouraged to seek another position in the company.

Of course, they neglected to mention that such positions didn’t really exist.

It was clearly a layoff, except they strung the laid off employees along for a few months. That way, they didn’t have to damage morale or customer/investor confidence by admitting it was a layoff.

I’m sure people further removed from the situation would assume it was a PIP, which hurts the engineers’ careers.
I wonder the same.

It seems like space sim combat ... almost is too weird, or twitchy or something or other to actually enjoy. At least I've found the more sim like it gets when it comes to sort of dog fighting combat the more it just gets immediately disorienting / feels to the user very random.

It's a strange thing.
True, the cleaning could be challenging. Surprised I haven't heard of a startup offering mobile deep cleaning/sanitation. Could make a killing right now.

It is not currently established what the exact relationship is between sugar in your diet, obesity, diabetes. They are all basically risk factors for the next one, but they definitely don't cause (in the strict scientific meaning of the term) one another---there is nowhere near enough scientific evidence that would support that. There's enough uncertainty about the whole process that saying "avoid known risk factors" is about the best advice you can get.
You don't get protected from criminal actions because you committed them at work though.
It's not being skeptical, it's in fact the exact opposite of any form of skepticism: it's being so credulous to one "side" that you make up falsehoods to excuse bad behavior, instead of using that same time to look for actual facts.

I don't know how this style of thinking has in the past decade or so come to be thought of as "skepticism," it's just incredible bias against one side. A skeptical though process would be inventing equally fabulous motivations in all directions, not just one.
The camera crew was told where to stand by the police prior to the arrest.
> and in the chaos of the moment were arrested

What chaos? The scene shown in the video looks really calm, with one protester, several reporters, and a very large number of police standing around apparently doing nothing more than looking intimidating at that moment.
Annoying for sure, but one benefit of this approach is due to forwarding. For the moment, let's assume you have a newsletter you enjoy. If you forward an instance of that newsletter to your friend, and they aren't expecting it, they might hit unsubscribe. With one click, they'll prevent you from receiving future newsletters.

I think the better approach is simply showing the "Intended for johndoe@example.com" next to Unsubscribe, but I could see why they ask for your email.
If you're going to keep censoring and deleting, then you're just proving the point. I don't understand.
The cameraman was literally standing where directed to stand by the police.
If you set up a custom domain in github pages, it will redirect to it automatically, even if the page doesn't exist. https://fenwick67.github.io/some/dir/ automatically redirects to https://fenwick.pizza/some/dir/ .
I’ll add another pet peeve to the list: unsubscribe links that remove you from only 1 of N number of lists they have. You click unsubscribe but a few days later you’re still getting mail because you got removed from “news” emails but this one is a “promotional” email.
100%. It’s pure laziness or technical ignorance on their part.
For me, Step 1 is using their Unsubscribe option.

If I get another message from them, Step 2 is to setup a mail rule to put everything from their company into the Junk folder.
There’s limited resources. How is it whataboutism?
