As of now there is an eviction moratorium in most of America, but when the moratorium ends do you have to catch up on 12 months of rent ?

How is any family, which was already living paycheck to paycheck ever going to sort that out. What's going to happen is tons of Americans are simply not going to be able to pay, their credits will be ruined and the rent won't be paid anyway.

It would be nice to present a goal, no one pays rent until we have a functioning economy again, and then sort out the details a bit later. The government could forgive property taxes as well, Banks could delay mortgage payments until the end of the pandemic.

I spoke to one friend who was three months behind on rent at a point. Telling him to Buck up and figure it out, isn't going to do any good. Money ultimately is an abstraction, as a society we very much can shape the rules around it. I can't imagine millions of homeless families being worse than landlords having to seek out different arrangements with their Banks.

Overalla lot of people aren't going to be able to pay rent through no fault of their own, they shouldn't be evicted as punishment. Or you can tell me ,how would anyone catch up on a year of rent once the eviction moratorium is over ?
> if something takes more than a few seconds just skip it (and maybe flag it as a tarpit for punishment)

Good. Isn't that the point? Also, I like your use of the word punishment as something negative in this context.
I've helped on duedil with some finance friends as a favour and the main hustle seems to be some guy with a dodgy background laundered through a couple countries, persuading people he can deliver on a transaction of some large size, which is the anchor, so when he walks away with "small," "administrative fees," it's framed as a minor rounding error on the transaction size that was just a part of the risk "everyone" was taking, and not just a ~$100,000 scam.

I recently listened to a podcast with Jason Furman and he made an interesting distinction. He distinguished between companies that grow to be very large through organic growth vs companies that grow very large through acquisitions. He used Walmart as an example of the former. They grew by being really good at logistics and having a really efficient supply chain, so they could offer lower prices and ultimately open a lot of stores. He used Google as an example of the latter. Obviously the search tech was their own but basically all of the ad tech (what they actually generate revenue with) was cobbled together through acquisitions.
In my state (not California) I have to file paperwork with the state on a yearly basis to confirm the status of my corporation: still active, any changes to the board, etc. There is a fee associated with this as well, though it's far less than $800. If you fail to do this, they just dissolve your corporation.

I can tell you that, as a consumer who has wired a lot of small office and home Ethernet, I've never seen a failure like that. On the other hand, I've seen lots of unexpected behavior with USB. I don't doubt your sincerity, but the reality is that very few consumers have to rebuild data centers. Lots of them need to power personal devices with shared USB cables and power supplies.

I don't think he meant that other companies are bad at getting clicks. I think he meant his company relies on search engine driven ads. Google has a monopoly on the search engine. There are many companies that need to rely on search engine traffic, not social media, for online advertising.

Keep in mind that search engine traffic is enormous, and can fairly be called a "trade" or "commodity/service" that can be monopolized in it's own right.

I don't think anybody is saying that google has a monopoly on all advertising.

Slightly more comprehensive reads of two incidents of Krebs doxing can be found at [1,2].

>In March 2018, he came under fire from users of a German image board pr0gramm.com after he revealed details about several admins and moderators in an article which claimed to identify who was behind the cryptocurrency mining service Coinhive.

>In April last year, Krebs was again slammed by security researchers after he doxxed two of them on Twitter, apparently because he disagreed with them about the operations of Spamhaus.

Krebs certainly covers some interesting stories, but I do not hold him in high regard.

IRC in 307 rules of C code without dependencies, pretty cool. Of course for that to work they had to sacrifice secure TLS support. Based on the "do one thing well" I was thinking you could set up a TLS tunnel from localhost:6667 to <irc-server>:6697

Not really perfect but my WIP attempt using `socat`:

`socat -v tcp-listen:6667,reuseaddr,fork,bind=127.0.0.1 ssl:<irc-server>:6697`

then connect to it:

`./kirc -s 127.0.0.1 -c 'channel' -n 'name' -r 'realname'`

not sure what TLS version socat uses by default, might be something horrible :)
Steps to Start a Freelance Digital Marketing Business in 2020
Have we? It doesn't seem possible to permanently stop outbreaks without having either reached 20-25% of the population infected, or locking down until a cure or vaccine is discovered. Plenty of places that locked down much more stringently than the US are having new outbreaks now - Europe, New Zealand, Australia and even parts of China.

Anyway, I seem to remember that extending the pandemic was the whole point of the lockdowns. The messaging at the beginning was that we would spread out cases over time, in order to keep under emergency healthcare capacity. Not prevent cases entirely. By that metric, hasn't the US been wildly successful? Or has the goal changed - and if so, why?
But this is still a breaking change though. If I build my app today I should be able to build it again tomorrow without any issue.
Thanks for reposting. This is the first time I've read it since the great transition from software to internet-accessible services. It reads differently now.

I suppose rms isn't very happy about services, even if the source code that runs those services is often largely open. I mean, if you don't like what a particular service does, builtwith.com will tell you whether it's based on rails, django or whatever, and from there finding the open source that does the heavy lifting is simple.

So in a way, the modern combination of open source and SaaS does enable what rms wrote: Get a github account, write code, send PRs, you can contribute and can get your preferred changes deployed as services upgrade. But I feel that rms doesn't see this particular glass as half full.

No offense but that personal dependence on Google to do your job adequately looks like something which reflects more on you than Google. Now I don't know much about working in the domain but would generally expect a professional acting as a middleman to be capable of producing an adequate ad campaign with more than one provider.

It sort of looks more like a Dunning-Kruger inadvertent call for help about being unable to do their job despite their title than an insider testimony of abuse. "I have the company using Windows because I can't set up a basic Linux workstation and I am CTO!" equivalent essentially. May be unfair but I figured it would help to know your message may not be received as you think.
This doesn't really matter in the mid term. Documentation is mostly a thing of the chip manufacturer and that has already been horrible, but worked around by the Linux community.

I generally support end-to-end encryption for everything, but I'm not sure that it makes sense in the context of IRC. IRC networks are usually public, so anyone could join your channel and listen in, even with end-to-end encryption. It seems like E2E would make for a lot of complexity and overhead without tangibly increasing the privacy of the users.

I'd actually love that (if it worked).
The last apartment building I lived in in Seattle had packages stolen regularly from a locked room. It was an arms race between criminals breaking the glass window in the door to open it (wire added to the glass), destroying the lock (better lock installed), prying the door open with power tools (steel plates installed around the door perimeter). It felt like Russia in the 90ies (basically a 3rd world country) where people with anything to steal would install reinforced steel doors in their condos with some crazy locks.

One thing that did not work was adding lights and cameras, because in Seattle property crime is not crime.
If the cameras were used to catch the guys and put them in jail for a long time, I'd be 100% for it. The only problem with surveillance in general is lack of choice/control of the watchers. In case of a small private organization like a n apartment building, this does not apply; surveillance is an unalloyed good IMHO.

What's the difference between this and .po/.mo files and the ugettext standard?
Different strokes for different folks. The solution to your problems is a simple batch file, but that might not be the solution to other peoples problems.

These "get of my grass" comments really miss the point. If you don't understand why you might need a more complex build system than "a simple batch file" then this really isn't software you need. That doesn't mean it's insane.
It looks more like a trend than an outlier for the new vehicle.
From an information-theoretic POV, yes, you can squeeze information from less, but the definition I found is based on signal levels not transmission capacity, and it seems to have other notable consequences.

AFAICT it's around this point that you can't tell whether there is a transmission, unless you know what it looks like; tuning requires decoding and/or fancy math, not a spectrometer; communication works just fine (with proper transmission modes), but there are nontrivial practical consequences as you approach or go below the noise floor.

I wouldn't expect to see analog equipment operating below the noise floor.

It is entirely possible that self-driving vehicles will not be any better than human drivers, and they'll just commit different categories of errors. It may be that it really does just take general intelligence to drive a car, and that perfection is impossible in the current environment and infrastructure.

I don't think "this is a clearly a development phase" means anything when there's no guarantee self-driving cars will actually reduce deaths. It may be that the way forward is simply more advanced driver assist technology that better accounts for human psychology, and not fully autonomous cars. All these sacrifices for a future of autonomous driving may simply be a waste.

Personally, I don't think these cars should be on public roads until they get a lot better. We're just introducing a new class of accidents; human drivers generally make the same kinds of errors and other drivers can reason about what they're thinking. Computers are more likely to fail in (to humans) surprising and bizarre ways. What we have now is the worst of both worlds.

As an aside, if we really wanted to do something, I suspect the easiest way to save thousands of lives a year right now would be to implement mandatory functionality on all smartphones to shut off the screen when the phone is moving faster than 5mph. This would inconvenience people and passengers would be annoyed, but there was, after all, a time before smartphones.
It should be noted, however, that the Pinephone's cover is designed to be easily removed. And I have had no problem flipping the kill switches with my house keys that I am always carrying with me anyway.
You are breaking contract with _some of_ your existing users, upgrading will have difficulties for _some of_ them.

I regularly update across major versions of packages in other languages and don't touch a thing other than the package version. I appreciate the version bump so I can do my due diligence to research the changes, but I just don't use the entire API of libraries in most cases so I'm not always affected by changes.

That sounds like an attempt to maintain "never my fault" consistency akin to stating we need to beat all people at traffic stops instead of admitting that beating people at traffic stops to look good on crime in the first place was criminally wrong.
Can we please stop with the term "Millennials"? The article talks about 18-29 year olds. The most widely accepted definition of Millennials is people born 1981 to 1996, which would be 24-39 year olds. Not the same.

Regardless, the financial differences between people the exact same age are always vastly larger than the financial difference between so-called "generations".

That is not a problem with surveillance though.
Surveillance works to catch package thieves, it's that the government is dysfunctional and won't do the actual catching.
If coder writes sloppy code that causes a car to mow someone down, or a dirty/broken sensor sends bad info, shouldn't there be liability if a company is going to sell "self driving" cars?

As someone who has to run and bike on roads without sidewalks and use the side lane, I am not sure if self-driving cars are going to save me from the ever increasing number of drunk/high/distracted drivers or some bug is going to think I am okay to graze at high speed because just trash or something.

What's sad is this is the kind of thing that makes Debian unstable in my eyes. Being able to choose whatever init system you want on your Linux distro is something that should just be a thing.

Additionally I'm confused are these packages not pulled from another source or is Debian the sole developer of this one? I would expect support for other init systems to be in parity with the parent project of the package in question as a result of basing your work off of theirs.

My only experience with Debian packaging is at work and not involved with actual Debian maintainers so I'm unsure of their own process. Is there someone who can shed some light on this?
Crikey; filing an NMU without any particular notice is not the act of someone trying to keep the peace. I'm no expert in Debian policy but surely the good form approach is to submit the patch to the bug report and give the maintainer a week to think about it.

I'd love to see SysV init support continued, but that NMU request isn't helping. Maybe try harder with the negotiating first. There could be context outside the bug report, but hostile maintenance is not the path to take. 4 people complaining in a bug report is no quorum for overruling the package maintainer either.
If she could not do the job then she should have resigned.

Edit: there was another post by [redacted] but it disappeared, it does not even show as deleted, weird.

Trust can't really go further down than '0' which is roughly where you are right now. The FAA will not be able to walk away from this one without a decade(s) long effort ahead of them to recover the trust they once had.
I haven't followed Debian in recent years, but I thought the technical committee had said that maintainers were not to remove working sysvinit support nor refuse patches for it, unless the package itself was clearly tied to the specific init system?
Well, it depends. Luxembourg initiated the 1 EUR corp, which lets you incorporate as a SARL (a form of LLC) for a pretty low rate.

However, the law then requires that you have an external auditor of your company's books, which runs 1.5-3K for a one-man operation doing uncomplicated things.

Sole proprietor is easier, and you can do your books yourself, but then the liability is unlimited.

I think you'll find many of the southern EU states are similar, the incorporation may be cheap but the accounting is less so.
well what they're saying is sure you can do this but this hypothetical bike thief isn't going to follow you very far. ime this would seem to be the case. most ssh spam is very dumb, just looking for low hanging fruit w/ default credentials, and will likely move on very quickly without success.
And collision avoidance. Which is a highly desirable feature. I would also love to have a dashboard device that alerts me whenever I exceed the speed limit by some threshold.

Problem is I do tamper with those. I often cross compile software (my day job is embedded linux). Different distributions like to put things in different locations for their own reasons. I have a multi-core computer and I'd like to use more than one of them so my build goes faster.

As a developer I don't want to have to worry about how to make all of the above work. I learned cmake and so I don't have to worry, now that I know it (the learning curve is there) almost all my issues go away because it just works with all the weird stuff people do.
I can understand the maintainer saying that they need people to test it because they run systemd and therefore don't have a system running another init system to test on. I can't understand removing working support.

Maybe split the SysV support into another package that is maintained by someone who is able and willing to spend the time testing it under other init systems.
If you distribute the software to customers in "non-source form", i.e. a compiled executable or library, then you must also make the source code available to those customers.

I don't believe that there is a requirement that you must publish the source code beyond that. Of course the nature of the GPL is that anyone who receives the source code is then free to re-publish it however they please.
The issue is not really that the government is bad, the problem is it has become a proxy for ultra rich to push their agenda. You can probably make it more efficient by limiting corporate sponsorship and making it more transparent. Millennials don't have many options or tools at their disposal to influence the direction we are heading.
> I like your use of the word punishment as something negative in this context.

Some people decide to launch a DDOS attack or something like that in retaliation. It doesn't always happen, but there have been instances of an attacker being thwarted and then trying to punish the victim (who successfully defended themself) in some other way.
Added complexity? At its simplest, Jamstack is just a static site generator. A service like Netlify will do the entire build pipeline for you (for free) just by pointing it at the git repo. Or if you want to DIY the hosting, then all you have to do is find somewhere that can host static files.

Jamstack is largely about removing complexity.
