You are making the claim that masks hinder respiration. This has not been supported by evidence, theoretical or outcome based. What is your hypothesis for the mechanism? We know that gases diffuse through the material.

> No one will publish the study...
The fact that a single study is problematic - without specifying why it's problematic, and without any mention of the many other studies - is not a very strong discussion point.

I appreciate the time you put in, but I think we're so far apart that I don't see any reason to continue this thread.

Not just the west, plenty of states in the country have excellent public universities that are extremely affordable, and even more so when you go to community college for the first two years. I graduated with a degree in computer science from a pretty good state school a for around 14 grand in debt. My wife has 3 degrees and has no debt now. My student loan payments were 200 dollars a month, pretty affordable.

I always wonder if a situation like this is legal. If I purchased a product and want to keep using it, what right does the seller have to prevent me from doing so x years later?

Can I sue them for not selling me the product they said they were selling me?
"Excessively clever" is when you know the solution to a problem and apply it, without checking whether it was a problem in the first place.
Yep this makes sense. Hell will freeze over when communities are able to get federal/state funding to run their own municipal fiber as an alternative to big telcos.
you're not going to get very far by advocating that people apply skepticism to their own belief systems when they haven't shown the willingness to do so. you're going to find stupid human tricks anywhere you find humans.

I live in Eastern Europe and I have gigabit ftth at the price of $12 per month. I guess that the US free market is just not as free. WTH.
Yeah I’m passively searching for jobs, and being 1.5 hours from Boston without wanting to commute, I have found way more opportunities now because company’s are way more open to full remote or partial remote cuz I’m only an hour away.

At the same time the housing market in my area is going bonkers because city people are moving here to work remote too. So it’s a toss up all around
Looks interesting and well produced.

I'm sending this to a few friends who are interested in coding to get a "real" take on it.
Maybe someone can crack the code to not require activation?

You did purchase the software after all, and unless you are illegally distributing it I see it as a perfectly fine thing to do whatever you want within your own private residence.
People are definitely moving away from NYC.

My aunt and uncle live near Binghamton, NY and their new neighbors are high income people (a Googler + Attorney) who plan to stay for a year or two. Fixing up the house and putting a pool in is still less than what their Manhattan apartment cost.
Some states do something like this. New York, for example, has the SUNY System, and while schools are semi-autonomous, there's a certain amount of centralized resource sharing that leverages economies of scale.

I work in Ed Tech, and a quick mental run down of a few examples seem like states with that sort of system often have cheaper tuition.
Yea I moved to Colorado from Texas two weeks ago. Was planning to move to Central America pre-covid, though - so my move wasn't covid-related or initiated though definitely impacted.
yeah that gets clear when they talk about their certified physical security: there is a strong assumption that drives can not be stolen and will be destroyed at their EOL. Such assumptions often don't hold. Encryption and physical protection are not redundant, they are defense in depth.

I agree with the GPG part and that a mail provider can not reasonably create something similar, however they have a weird understanding of "encryption at rest" at the base of their argument why they don't do it.
Safety is a top reason.

There may be some part of the law that prevents you from suing (IANAL), but if it wasn't disclosed before you purchased it, it make intuitive sense to me that you should have grounds to sue.

I felt the same way about the whole Sonos recyling thing too...
Sartre believed that it was impossible to abdicate the responsibility of making choices, because to choose to do nothing is still a choice -- in other words, "nothing" is a kind of something. So one might humorously imagine that Sartre would also think that "no cream" is a kind of something that could be different from "no milk."
You are asking me to debate a straw man - “The only alternative to $200k a year to study English is no humanities at all”. I think if universities were forced to innovate, the same value and product can be provided at a vastly cheaper price.

We shall see if I’m right, as there aren’t any alternatives.
"The aging activation servers for those apps had to be retired."

Cry me a river - Adobe can't afford to keep an old server running?

At least be honest about the motivation.
This is definitely overkill. Javscript should only be disable on sites that abuse it, or don't need it (news sites)
As far as I understand the licences, this is not true. You can do all of that with the MIT licence, but you are not forced to release everything that uses it at MIT.
I think any competent lawyer would argue that the software was never guaranteed to have infinite lifespan, and Adobe stopped selling CS3 quite a while ago. The EULA explicitly says they don’t warranty anything past 90 days since sale.

But regardless of that, your damages would be limited to what you spent on the license. So definitely not worth your time.
...does anyone? Is that humanly possible to read through without a law degree? What do you do if you want to negotiate? The answer, of course, is piracy: reject all terms.
We're all curmudgeons and a lot of us like it like this.
> You did purchase the software after all

Err, umm, no. You purchased a license to use the software.
I turned 40 this year. That brought a significant shift in how I think about spending time; I'm much more aware that there are a finite number of books I'll read, programs I'll write, stories told to children etc

This mindset has been surprisingly freeing because it encourages me to say "No" more often, to the things that if I looked at them objectively feel more like an obligation ("sigh, I should really finish this book before I start a new one") than an opportunity.

As a Little Snitch and TripMode user, it seems evident to me that apps such as Little Snitch are in a dangerous category: people try it after hearing it talked about by the cool kids, dangerous enough to quickly get you an appointment at the Apple Genius Bar.

As more and more iOS and Mac apps leverage iCloud to remain in sync, mobility use cases are increasingly expected to “just work” by iPhone and iPad users, but it’s the under the hood things on MacOS that users don’t know the names of that can really send a user sideways.

This is suggested by the tools themselves which in recent years as the OS became more “online”, kept making it easier and easier to try to carve these necessary-enough services back out from the rules.

Only if you're young enough and unattached enough to live off relatively small stipends. For a 35 year old with a family, that's not really an option. Retooling for a career change is very expensive, in time, money, and salary lost when you start on the bottom rung of the ladder.
"Unless I misunderstand your position (which is certainly possible), you appear to claim that other citizens (in this case, Eich) should not have the right to vote their conscience if you (or I, for that matter) disagree with their position"

I think so. I'm not saying he can't vote his conscience but if he votes for a measure to revoke the right to marry from people in his OWN company those people are free to oppose his appointment as CEO as part of their freedom of expression.

"I can't agree with your assessment that he "forced" anyone to do anything."

You're right. He attempted and failed to do so since the measure didn't pass.

It's not inconsistent to democratically vote for something that restricts the freedoms of someone else. Gun laws, abortion, wearing masks, etc. And people are free to associate with me based on my views on the subject.
Effort is not fungible, we are an open source project, not a business. We can only do what we can convince people to spend their time doing. The folks who work on the language just aren’t the same people who would implement a new LLVM backend. We would love mature Rust support on as many platforms as possible, but it’s non-trivial.

In this case, ARM stepped up themselves to help make this happen. If other vendors want to help us make Rust great on their platform, we’d love to have their support.
Seems like a breach of contract. Adobe should give the money back, at least.
I discovered this at the start of lockdown when our hackspace got donated some older iMacs and full copies of CS3. Apparently if you got in contact with them when they first announced the retirement they were giving out activation-free installers to people who could prove ownership. It'd be lovely if someone has these archived somewhere for those of us that weren't quick enough.
True, it doesn't have to tell you when you work. But it does have to pay you a minimum wage. If a staffing company said: "work whenever and we'll pay you a minimum wage", then drivers would probably routinely drive at times they found pleasant, not profitable times for the staffing company. In this case the staffing company would start up restrict the hours a driver could drive.

A staffing company wants to reduce the amount of unprofitable hours driven. To do that they have to restrict working hours. It's not guaranteed but a highly likely outcome of the set up.
>But regardless of that, your damages would be limited to what you spent on the license. So definitely not worth your time.

But it could be a class action suit, and if you're the class representative you can get larger compensation.
Scientists Drive Tiny Robot Around Inside Living Colon
I’m sure there’s a provision that protects them in the EULA you agreed to when you purchased it.

Isn’t it a moot point anyway because nobody ever “buys” software, they just obtain a license to use it. Ownership is such a convoluted concept in tech, particularly in software.
One of several reasons I will never purchase anything from Adobe or any other company that requires remote activation or "cloud" services.
oh man that's tough, and especially hard to separate how much of what you love is the writing vs the content. But what springs to mind right now ... hmm. Frans de Waal, is IMHO the best at writing science for regular people, his last two are brilliant. Oliver Sacks too. Ted Gioia on music history. Peter Drucker on business. OTOH that's what I have! :-)
If you sue Adobe over this they will likely settle over the phone. If you really want to be a jerk, don't settle and make them send a lawyer out to your district. I'm not encouraging any fraud here but if you feel ripped off, a small claims case is totally in order, here. And they normally take about 10 minutes to file for online.
you can't sign away your rights,
doubly so for legally dubious software checkmark agreements.
> But regardless of that, your damages would be limited to what you spent on the license. So definitely not worth your time.

Class action perhaps? Or small claims at the other end?
Eh, that depends. There was plenty of biased news in 2000. Media consolidation has started long before that.
Apple shouldn't be forcing 3rd party devs to use any particular business model regardless of how much sense it makes.
So I am curious about what you mean here but am unfortunately missing the point as the first paragraph and second don’t match in my head.

What exactly are you worried about ?
They should specify from the start but would not sell that much .. what happened to the good ol’ internet ?!
One thought. Find an adjacent domain that intersects yours, maybe an industry vertical, and develop a specialty aspect to your primary field. It can really be a differentiator and give you a fallback skilset and network should shit hit the fan.

This is why I use SailfishOS. Modern Android and iOS are so insanely complex, it seems impossible to do the simplest things with code. Yes you can root your phone, and you have access to (Android) source code including 3rd party FOSS apps and build tools. However, writing code, building, and iterating on the device is almost non-existent (I don't consider termux an ideal fit), not to mention the sandboxing/protections that are in place.

The hacker spirit still seems very much alive in the SailfishOS community. The community isn't big, but people come up with smart ideas that leverage existing solutions. SSH in, write Python code, write QML, zypp install build tools, pip install libraries (inside virtualenv), execute it, see changes on screen, hook into the existing system using xdg standards and dbus, manage services with systemd. It's fun to hack on.

If I had to characterise it, Android/iOS vs SailfishOS, is the equivalent to Java vs Python. The former is well-engineered, secure, perhaps overly architected, and widely used for "serious" and Enterprise solutions. It certainly has good reasons for how it does things. The latter is more organic; the same solutions can be achieved (with certain caveats) but with less hassle.

From a developer perspective, Android and iOS have sucked all the fun and creativity out of the devices.

* Sorry about piggybacking off top post, I just found that it strongly resonated what I've thought.
I place great value in the humanities, but from a practical jobs perspective they don't do a lot more than check the box marked "degree required" on a job application.

I'm all for people focussing on the humanities in their college career, but most should also be looking at a minor that gives them more concrete job prospects. Or reverse it, and minor in the humanity subject of choice.
Also, you can use data to schedule the maintenance when the probability of someone ordering ice cream is low. That 21-25% downtime results in significantly fewer people wanting ice cream not being able to get it.
This should be a requirement enforced by legislation.
Yes Markdown was fundamentally a hack around the limitations of <textarea>, especially as used in CMS interfaces like Movable Type. In my alternate timeline, 90s Netscape would have added rich text support to those (likely submitting HTML, a subset of what Composer already supported) and saving everyone to come a startling amount of effort.

It does also play into the TBL vision like you say - it would have meant everyone was writing HTML (and with tool interfaces there to help non-technical people not have to care) rather than a small group writing HTML and everyone else using baby markup.
> If the drivers are the employee of anybody, they don't get to choose when they work, or how often, or where.

This is commonly repeated and there’s nothing inherent an employment forcing fixed hours or less flexibility. It’s false.

What happens to digitally signed PDF documents 10 years from now? Will they no longer be valid/legally openable?
I don't have the original license agreements handy to determine whether this is the case, but I'm guessing the following are true:

1) Customers "agree" to binding arbitration

2) Adobe reserves the right to terminate your ability to install the software at any time

If the above are not true, however, this seems like a nice target for an entrepreneurial class action lawyer.

Of course, what we really need are some vastly better digital consumer protection laws.
Well this sums up the progressive mentality extraordinarily well.

"I don't really have a personal connection to this thing, pay much attention to it, wouldn't really care if it went away, but by God we need to set this rule I want to make it work exactly how I say it should. No, I haven't really studied it, I'm not going to rely on any data or "facts" or any of that nonsense, I'll only argue from first principles in a vague, hand wavy way. And I am not going to acknowledge any complexity the world, this is black and white and it will work exactly the simple way I say."

And then by the time it's clear what the result of this decision was, you've already forgotten about it because, like you said, you don't even really care that much if these companies stay or go, and by extension if these drivers can keep driving to earn money or not.
Tenure jobs have been slowly eroding for decades as extremely underpaid adjuncts are brought in to fill the courses.

Actually right now though, many schools financially strapped from the Covid-19 hit they took are firing their adjuncts pairing back the amount of courses offered, and making tenured staff teach the courses (like intro subjects) normally reserved for adjuncts.

If you can arrange to further your education without incurring new debt, furthering your education is the only way to be unemployed that has a pretty consistent track record of improving your future career and earnings.

But ability to arrange to do so without incurring new debt is very much a personal matter and depends on many variables, such as marital status, existing dependents, current debt load, existing health issues, etc.
Not really?

If you have the disks, you bought a copy of it, just like you bought a copy of a book, not a license to read it's pages.
I totally agree with you. I was responding to "It's not irrational".

Doing the right thing isn't always rational from a direct comparison of objective metrics.
> I am in love with every part of 11ty except the documentation.

Interesting. One of the reasons I chose Eleventy over Hugo was because I felt its documentation was much better.
Truly. Also, if your device depends on a cloud service to function, you must open-source the service if you choose to EOL it.
The terms of the CS6 license pertaining to activation don't indicate one way or the other what happens if the server was intentionally disabled by Adobe's choice. The only stated requirement is internet access; there's an implied requirement that no firewall is in place to prevent the software from communicating with the Adobe server.
yay piracy! its always a fast and simple recourse even if the legal system isn't.
That’s somewhat sketchy with pre boxed software. Old Nintendo cartridges just worked and presumably had zero copyright issues. If you’re buying/using hardware with software preinstalled, at what point did you agreed to the EULA?

> Part of the student debt crisis are families making poor economic choices.

I am not sure families are the ones to blame here. Astronomical tuition and loan interests that cannot be forgotten in bankruptcy is a predatory combo.

In the European countries you mention no student start their professional like with $50k-100k in unforgivable debt.
Nonsense. The disks are your property and you're entitled to use them as you see fit (except when that use is illegal e.g. copyright infringement - and note that copyright does not cover the transitory copies made as part of running the application).
I interpreted medymed's comment to mean it's a good time to already be in grad school. If that's the case then you likely don't have a family (for all the reasons you just mentioned). I don't think people are advocating now as a good time to switch from industry to grad school.
Balance chargers for small packs, like you'd have for a radio controlled aircraft, have separate wires for the positive and negative plus in between each cell. So, a 6-series configuration would have 7 wires and the charger uses them to charge each cell separately to the correct voltage.

The problem with that is that each wire has to be able to handle the full charge current, but at a low voltage. So, if you're dealing with, say, an electric car with dozens or hundreds of cells and thick copper cables the size of garden hoses it's no longer practical. Instead, you charge it the simple way (by applying a large voltage to the whole series string through a positive and negative lead) and use a battery management system that measures voltages between cells and drains any high-voltage cells gradually through a resistor. It's kind of wasteful, but it's fairly simple and if your batteries are well balanced the BMS shouldn't have to do much at all.

Using the high cells to charge the low cells would be a nice feature; I'm not aware of any EV BMS that does that, but I'm not an expert and I'm really only aware of what's going on with DIY conversions. I don't know what the state of the art is for BMSs in commercially manufactured vehicles.
Pretty judgemental? Give me some credit. I was extremely judgemental.
This will be remembered as a dark age of humanity. Anything built or released in the early 21st century will simply become meaningless bytes to future generations.

From the top of my mind here are some SaaS that don't charge you extra for a custom domain or even give it for free in their free tier:

- Surge
