Yeah, I have a separate extension just for Facebook. And also a separate browser profile.
I would recommend separating the service between transactional and marketing. Otherwise, there is always something going on with opt-out.

So use Sendgrid or Mailgun for transactional. Hit their API to send a mail. There are pros/cons around keeping the templates in there, but I would lean that way.

For drip campaigns, I would sync the product database to a tool like Mailchimp or the others ones that have been mentioned. We made an open source way to do that syncing, called Grouparoo.

I don't think it's that hard to represent. PG already has a mechanic to disagree with Hitler's decisions e.g. Kiev and Gibraltar. You can easily imagine quandaries such as:

- "Hitler has asked you to detach units for cooperation with Einsatzgruppen operating behind the front. Refuse: lose 500 prestige Accept: gain 1000 prestige, reduced deployment area in the next scenario"

- "Hitler has ordered all captured commissars to be shot. Enforce: enemies no longer retreat or surrender. Disregard: lose 500 prestige"

Yes, I've read that and as a member of the SFWA I'm glad they're standing up for more clarity on this. The SFWA's job is to advocate for their members. ADF is claiming that he is owed royalties (and it's possible he has a contract saying that he is), so they're going to advocate for him. It's what they do.

EDIT: Deleted my original second paragraph. Disney is not claiming that they acquired the rights to the novelizations without the corresponding liabilities. The SFWA claimed that on their own. Disney hasn't actually made a formal response yet on this other than to say that they want to work this out with ADF. Presumably, that is because they are still trying to find a copy of the now 30+ year old WFH agreement in the Fox warehouses in Century City.

The SFWA president is clearly not a lawyer and doesn't understand how M&A works in the U.S. What they are suggesting about what Disney was trying to do isn't legally possible.
Thank you for all of your work! I started down the smart home path this year and Home Assistant's philosophy really resonates with me. HA with zigbee and zwave enhance and add to our house in a cloud-free way that works for me and my family. Even simple things like putting remote light switches in reach of young kids means they have more independence in their own home (and they're not climbing furniture to turn on lights...).
I worked at a company where they had to fire some of Scala programmers. The people who were fired were functional purists, whereas a bunch of the team were coming from Java and (understandably) wrote Scala as if it were just more terse Java (very Kotlin-esque).

Long story short, the third or forth time they were caught rewriting perfectly adequate and correct code simply because it wasn't embracing all of Scala's functional constructs, they were warned. Next time, they were canned.

I guess it's probably not that much about assault (it would be anyway only for "trusted" people like spouse of crew, member of the airline?), but could probably be more about dealing with flight procedures: how do you handle turbulences while in there, how do you handle an emergency, wake up before landing, ... Flight attendants will be busy in the main area in those situations and it would be difficult to take care about non-trained passengers in those spaces (small space, small stairs, ...). It seems for example that they have special breathing equipment there, maybe not like in the seated area: you'd have to know how to use it...

> I've also mentioned the cutter polio vaccine and the 1976 swine flu vaccine which seems to have caused an uptick of GBS.

That Polio vaccine wasn't a side effect of the vaccine though, it was an issue with people accidently getting injected with a live virus. Since no live virus is even remotely involved in any COVID19 vaccines it has zero relevance here. Even if they were, we have 60+ years of history with no similar incidents since then.

> I suspect if I go research I will find more

You really won't. I've been reading about this extensively during this period and those are the only examples where there may have been long term effects that anyone can point to.

I qualified my original comment with "in most people's living memory" and didn't include the '76 swine flu vaccine because, frankly, I don't think pointing to an issue that happened 44 years ago in a field that has seen pretty significant technological advancement in knowledge, methods, and manufacturing processes really makes sense.

> why it is hard to acknowledge and discuss the risk profile of vaccines

My issue is not that there's isn't some theoretical risk, it's that it just isn't put in context of how minute it is. In all likelihood your risk of facing long term effects from a car accident happening on your way to get vaccinated are higher than anything that could happen from the vaccine. And both those risks are, of course, many orders of magnitude less than your chance of suffering long-term effects from catching COVID19.
I run couple of my apps on Raspberry Pi. As soon as I release new version they're automatically pulled from common source and restarted. I do not see any difficulty here at all as I do not have to lift my finger right after I've pushed the new code. And I can also revert to the old version just as easy. I've been doing those things (not on Raspberry Pi of course) long before all this CI/CD had become a buzzword. One of my products was running in thousands commercial locations all across North America in the starting in 2001 and all updates were completely automatic. 15 years run time after which it was retired.

Hi Tim,

Inspiring page about your journey.
HelloHailey looks great. But I am still left wondering-- in one sentence, what is the product? It's great that you list the benefits of the product. What is the product itself though? I am left wondering, "Is this product a map of colleagues where it shows their headshot/avatar along with a message?" -- i.e. is the product/service actually the map at the bottom of the HelloHailey website?

Thanks!

It really bugs me how Deezer doesn't have an answer to Spotify Connect.
I'm reposting some of my thoughts below to try and genuinely see is someone has an answer to the question:
From a utilitarian perspective, why weren't these all approved for the elderly in Q2 2020?

In other words, its May 2020 and you have the option to ban vaccines or allow vaccines for the elderly, what do you pick?

We know the following about vaccines generally:
-Vaccines have an extremely high success rate, 33% of vaccines make it through all trials to approval. 50% after phase 1 is complete.
-The worst vaccine side effect ever is widely considered to be the swine flu vaccine from 60 years ago, where 1 in 100,000 got GBS, or Pandemrix, where 1 in 18400 got narcolepsy. (1)(2)
-Vaccine candidates have 85% chance of making it from phase III to approved (phase III is supposed to be the efficacy check), in other words we expect about a 15% chance that the vaccine is not effective, most of the tests are about safety.

We know the following about COVID:
-Unknown long term side effects, reasonably likely to be worse than the worst vaccines ever, but unknown.
-The IFR for those over 75 is about 4.6% now(1). Earlier in the pandemic it was about 11.6%(2).
-If you assume that people have a 10% chance of contracting the disease, you can say that those over 75 would have approximately a 0.46% chance of dying (4.6 in 1,000 dead) if they don't get the vaccine. This seems to be a conservative estimate.

So if you have to decide whether to ban a vaccine or not in May 2020, and you assume with 100% confidence that this vaccine was tied for the "worst side effects ever", for example it turns out to be as bad as Pandemrix, then you would expect 1 in 18400 to get something like narcolepsy if you give them the vaccine.

Using the IFR and 10% number above, you assume that not giving the vaccine would leave 84.64 dead for the same population. (85x by volume).

I don't know your opinion of "how much worse is death versus narcolepsy?". If you believe death is 10x worse than narcolepsy, then by severity and volume, taking a vaccine with the worst side effects ever would seem about 850x better than not taking it (in elderly populations). Earlier in the pandemic, when IFRs were over 2x as bad, this was well over 1,000x better.

I mean, the numbers so dramatically favor vaccination that I don't get it at all. Why is this not approved already? Why does it take the FDA 3 weeks to even discuss the matter of approval when this made sense to approve in May? Why did all governments opt to ban the vaccines versus allow them?

I found it interesting that his entire crew working on the Steigers and Rome are from South Africa..like half a dozen of them.

Does that mean America doesn’t have enough mechanics who have experience with these machines? Steigers are big in Australia acc to the article. South African crew seems a tad odd but I wonder if it’s just availability of the labour rather than any other specific reason.
Moving to a different geography for a substantially higher compensation. The same phenomenon depresses compensation everywhere, so chances are most people won't be able to find compensation that's enough to keep the family going.

Perfect example of what disinformation does to Americans. You are better informed than more than half the American nation. And sometimes is not even the lack of information but the desire to believe one narrative over another.
I would say that the end of Bretton Woods could shift people attitude away from money. Why keeping dolars that does not have real value? Invest in property. So money reserves lower, property gets more expensive. And expensive property takes away working class income as rent and ability to afford housing. Actually it takes away ability to negotiate as you don't have spare income to put away for rainy day.
I have a friend who a few months wanted to automate/remote control a water pump at his cabin and monitor his solar system and batteries. He has internet connectivity there but otherwise is off the grid. So I thought okay, raspberry pi, arduino with an Ethernet shield and some extra electronics, and then use dataplicity to remote connect. It's not straightforward with his internet setup to initiate a connection from the outside world. But he wasn't crazy about controlling the thing with a command line and really wanted a web interface. After some searching around I ended up using Home Assistant. We are still putting it all together but it's been very nice so far, like battery voltage graphs and sending/receiving data via MQTT is really pretty easy.
1. Yes, the approach is right. You don't need to start a company, particularly if the project could be open source. Even talking about the project in local meetups (assuming there are meetups by the time you are ready to talk about the project) can also help.
2. Do you need to quit working? At least, do you need to quit working immediately to start on the project? Wait until you have something concrete. Work in your "garage" until it's absolutely essential that you quit your current job.
Election's over. Deal with it.

My separation flight, returning CONUS from Pearl Harbor, was a late night 747 to SFO. New Years Eve of the millenium, so most people were already where they were going to be on earlier flights.

Still remember that one twenty years later.

This is clearly a straw man.

MMT provides an alternative theoretical basis that might explain the apparent disconnect between money supply and inflation:

https://www.investopedia.com/modern-monetary-theory-mmt-4588...

> According to MMT, the only limit the government has when it comes to spending is the availability of real resources, like workers, construction supplies etc. When government spending, meaning the amount of money introduced into the economy, is too great with respect to the resources available, that's when inflation can surge if decision makers are not careful.
Agreed...kind of a click bait title. I'm really wondering how does one break into systems engineering without any background/experience?

I would actually just prefer this model take over completely. The model where you just stick ads into some unused screen space, popups, commercial breaks, ad segments are hot garbage.

Like I don't really have an issue with someone posting a thread "BIFL Request: Spatulas" and some brand rep being like "Hey I work for $company and we have a thing that might work for you." One of the best answers I ever saw on /r/femalefasionadvice was a Lululemon rep doing a full breakdown of their different product lines, model differences, prices ranges, target markets. Like god damn I wish all ads were like that. It was an actual informative sales pitch.

I think some light regulation that says reps have to be upfront about their affiliations is all that's really needed here.
Sure, but the main point here is switching the MacOS platform to "app store only", which they could have already done. Using their own hardware vs Intel hasn't prevented that. Do you think there's something else that has prevented them, related to their hardware? If they limited it a year ago, people would have the option to just use their macbook for Windows or Linux? Now they won't?

I'm just genuinely confused as to why people seem to think that [a] Apple is planning to switch to a locked down ecosystem on their notebooks and [b] Apple has been somehow limited in doing this until they had their own "silicon".
> Well you don't have to scrape it

Certificate logs from the certificate transparency project [0] are already public knowledge and shared freely.

The only thing lets encrypt gets in addition to what's in those logs and publicly discoverable is what challenge you chose (dns or tls), and what email you're using.

> So yes I personally welcome another CA

More CAs generally means more chance that one CA loses a private key or has a vulnerability. Tragically, since browsers trust all CAs for all websites, if the new CA has an issue, people can forge TLS certs for my website even though I have no intention of ever using that new CA.

In a very real way, having an excess of CAs is bad for the security of the entire internet. Letting anyone become a trusted CA would be an unequivocal disaster, so clearly more CAs isn't always good.

I do think there's a balance, where we should have several viable CAs that we trust to be secure, but not 100s of them, just 10s. We already trust a ton more roots than that, so right now I see a new CA as being detrimental to security overall.

That all being said, I'm pretty sure this CA is using an existing trusted root and processes, so since it doesn't require cross-signing in a new root, it's less big of a deal.

to me - this is the point of the article. money sloshes around. why are we so dead set on pretending something else is going on?
It'd be interesting to see a license that's permissive for non-commercial use and copyleft for commercial use. Or maybe the copyleft kicks in when the commercial derivative work starts earning a certain amount of money. It would be kind of like dual licensing under CC BY-NC and CC BY-SA.

I think it would still count as a free and open source software license, and it would allow small and independent developers to use the software without worrying much about the license, while requiring big companies to release the source of the derivative work.

It would not count as free or open source

It goes against freedom 0, and criteria 5 and 6 of the open source definition

So social media creating artificial strife amongst people has been a good change? Yea, theres some good from social media, but it seems to constantly require "change". Even in perfectly peaceful circles of societies, its dividing people into radicalized factions all in the name of tribe identity. That and the increasing studies showcasing the detrimental mental health affects it has on people. It truly is becoming more of a burden as time goes on. It's not like social media is truly democratic. They're monarchies that give an illusion of public control.
You were not clear, and your implication was that Apple would not help you unlock a locked phone. Not that you had a bricked phone because of activation lock.

It is somewhat difficult to lock your own device so that you cannot factory reset it. You wouldn't just have to lose the passcode, you would also need to lose the credentials to your iCloud account as well as your purchase receipt for the phone. Then you become indistinguishable from a thief.

I am okay with Apple's choice on this, as I prefer the security and the theft deterrence. I keep several methods for recovering my iCloud account, and I keep the receipt for my expensive devices.

Does activation lock even apply to Macbooks?
