It's possible this is true, although I personally suspect if he was willing to put out a statement that said something like (paraphrasing) "I did a dumb thing, I'm sorry, I now understand why rape is bad, and I'll work on being better about understanding why these types of things are bad" he would have kept the position.

However, even if I'm wrong, and he really was forced to resign, I don't think it detracts that much from my point that GP is arguing against strawmen like "fired for hitting on a women and being rejected" that are completely unrelated to RMS's case.
I guess if you are in the business of selling services that include custom domains that isn't quite as crazy as it initially sounds...

You are, of course, assuming they have a backup and the backup can actually be restored and that the restore contains the required information.
I discourse a bit. I feel it's my duty to debunk a little. Usually it's not hard - a brief googling shows the meme of the day to be junk.

I’ve seen a few data disasters in my time but I think this takes the cake. It’s a good reminder of why you just need to prioritise the sort of work that has no immediate payoff.
If you don’t want to funnel money to a landlord, buy a property. I did and now funnel even more money to my mortgage company and have to handle and pay for repairs, but none to a landlord.

It’s almost like having desirable housing is something that a lot of people are willing to spend money on.
Not bad, but as far as I can see it requires you are _really_ sure no further scripts are dynamically loaded.

Or is there a way for the server to specify all resources must have SRI?
> and Raptors at this point seem to fail quite often

I know this isn't actually a dig at Raptors, but I would expect that Raptors are flying at a point in the development cycle where most engines were still only used on test stands.

It does seem like a serious drawback to making improvements rapidly that the post-firing engine is unavailable for examination, of course... :)
How many people had to log into their own work systems and check that things were running in order to be sure it wasn’t their employer?
A device can be tampered with, that's why a backend verification is always needed. There may be use-cases where such security is not needed, but I think that's a separate discussion.

The developer exchanges the token for the data. In the current implementation the token contains the user data (encrypted).

I agree, I think published feeds that list items or accounts to block (as an advisory) that anyone can subscribe to is the future of social media moderation.

Right now it's just instance admins deciding unilaterally for their users, which is terrible.
> no trace of the type of bacteria that was contained in my probiotic that I had been taking religiously for a long time.

That's not how it works. The probiotic you took was full of bacteria DNA (maybe, probiotics rarely hold up to their advertised claims) which had to make it through your stomach, several meters of small bowel, and then to your large bowel. The DNA in that probiotic was likely snipped apart so many times its just in the noise at this point.

Fun fact: your small bowel and large bowel have significantly different biomes. Your small bowel has more in common with mouse stool than it it doesnt with your small bowel!
> > All domain information was wiped out and records became null.

Sure sounds like the data is lost to me.
Was curious about that as well. I've never heard of such an obsurd amount of time, and it seems doubtful it would hold up.

One thing if those micro-payments end up enriching the creators, but another when blackholed into the coffers of a few tech cos.
We don’t know that the records are still in the database. This could be a matter of ON DELETE CASCADE followed by a delete of what looked like innocent data and then boom it’s all gone. Then the integration updates bind which helpfully erases all records and then once there are no domain names to talk to everything is down.

I would be looking at the Internet Archive and Whois too figure out some basic domains and what the registrars are and go from there but of course depends on what business they are in and what their domain names were doing.
If the company is about to go insolvent it would probably be happy about not having to pay for three months. Those three months usually go both ways.

But I think it would be better to keep it above board. Present it as a solution, kinda. Like, "we both want the same thing here".
At one point it wasn't a legal requirement, and then it became one, just like air transport.

Financial privacy could be restored, given sufficient will to do so. Making ubiquitous identity-linked financial surveillance easier and more convenient does not advance this goal.

It’s easy to imagine there are a lot of these type of time bombs out there, particularly in really old legacy systems (> 20 years for example). I was at one place where even building the application for deployment led to a one week outage when some core people were laid off.
Just realized if it did this would make a very simple rectifier. I guess you could test it by putting ends of a wire with a galvanometer on it to different parts of an antenna and see if you get a current.

I don't use twitter so I don't know what the etiquette over there but outside of emails I wouldn't normally expect any salutation in an internet message.

So for me it's not so much that the salutation not formal enough, it's more that it's odd that it exists at all.

But then again maybe usages differ in twitterworld.

That makes sense if the original statement was that capitalism is the only thing that can ever incentivize abuse.

If you assume that abuse can be caused or influenced by more than one thing -- which I believe makes sense but you might disagree -- then it doesn't matter what communism was doing if we're talking about capitalism.

Gender differences wouldn't be unheard of. Also, in that model, being male reduces your predicted probably of long COVID.

This model does seem kinda wacky though. Just throwing in 1 symptom, age of 30, and female gives a probability of 13% which seems high. I'll have to read the paper more carefully to figure out what exactly that probability is supposed to mean.

Anti-vax comes from fear.

Problem with vaccines is that you take them when you're healthy. People don't worry as much when they're healthy.

When you're sick and lying in a hospital bed you're much less hesitant to 'try this one more drug' in hopes of getting better.
People are absolutely entitled to talk about and share experiences in which other people's behavior made them unconfortable. They don't even need anything "substantial".

You're conflating someone inflicting reputational damage ON THEMSELVES, as a result of their own behavior, with mob justice, which is something else entirely.

Don't do that.

Kinda depends upon if it is educational, informational or entertainment. I never use podcasts to just fill out the background, I generally use heavy metal music for that.

I tend to either remember how/where to find the information again or the actual thing. So with podcasts I will either remind myself that I can't easily reference it and therefore remember the lesson, or sometimes I will write it down later in the day.

They have never done so, and odds are that it looks really bad from a financial reporting perspective, even tho the user data it can collect is very valuable (but it cannot count as revenue, since there's no marketable value for such data atm).
I've been trying to think in terms of outcome recently, since I've found intent can (a) be combative rather than collaborative and (b) quickly devolves into a 'philosophical circle-jerk'.

For example, say someone makes a racist joke that's over the line, and we feel a need to call them on it. Framing things in terms of intent becomes a debate about 'are you a racist?', with side quests like 'what is racism?', and metaphysical introspection on the nature of one's 'true self', etc. All of which is irrelevant and distracting.

Framing things in terms of outcome lets us avoid such a quagmire, and avoids things becoming personal. In particular, if someone defends themselves as 'not a racist', we can agree and support them, e.g. 'in that case I'd try to avoid ABC, since XYZ'.
It does say in the original post that:

> Our backups are fucked.

So I assume that they have already tried and they didn't work.
You're completely confused. What constitutes the right thing is specific to culture. Culture a lot of components (nationality/ethnicity, professional culture, neurodiversity, etc.). You're imposing your value system on Richard. You're being called on it, and you're doubling down, which is exactly what you fault Richard for. Two posts in, you should know better.

From within Richard's cultural frame, he's doing the right thing in both the large and the small.

Making people feel uncomfortable, embarrassing people, and otherwise are perfectly valid tactics for achieving change in many cultures; just not the one you're from. The extreme emphasis on politeness is very Western (although many Confucian cultures have something similar in the concept of face).

And although it might seem weird to you for me to be making arguments from cross-cultural fluency, Richard would be a hypocrite if he were making an argument from cross-cultural fluency, but he's not, and I'm not Richard.

I've made the same argument to Americans acting inappropriately in all sorts of countries, even though in many of those cultures neither had (not, often, valued) cross-cultural fluency. I'm sorry, but you're being wrong in both the large and small things, just as much as an American in Iran or Japan expecting everyone to behave like them, and talking about how people are either jerks or overly generous when they behave differently, or when Americans talk aabout how cultures have bad attitudes towards children/women/education/civil rights/etc., or are just plain weird.

Put yourself out of a job. I wrote a bit about it here[0]. It's a bit long, but it also contains links to other posts that may be relevant to you [product, team, alignment, scaling yourself, leveraging your time, communication, roadmaps].

Every single day, you fire yourself because you made yourself redundant. You hire yourself the next day to do something else.

Must the decision be absolutely made by you? If not, delegate. If yes, ask yourself why you're the only one. Are you that special? Find out what's required to make that decision (information, resources, thought processes), lay them out to others, let them poke holes, make the decision. You do that often, they learn how to make them because they have several instances or "cases". Delegate for things that don't have a catastrophic or irreversible consequence. Look for the people who have a track record of making good decisions, delegate to them some more of what you're doing, do something else. Etc, etc.

What do you mean "on the verge"? That shift happened a long time ago. I'd say the shift happened when suddenly everyone started being OK with taking pictures of themselves and posting it online. That's when everything was confirmed to just be superficial.

Before this, we used to say only vain people took photos of themselves, but now either everyone is vain, or our measure of vain people moved.

What Stallman said verbatim:

>The word “assaulting” presumes that he applied force or violence, in
some unspecified way, but the article itself says no such thing.
Only that they had sex.

>We can imagine many scenarios, but the most plausible scenario is that
she presented herself to him as entirely willing. Assuming she was
being coerced by Epstein, he would have had every reason to tell her
to conceal that from most of his associates.

We'll set aside for a moment that he's trying to argue the only way that sexual assault can occur is if the attacker literally assaults the victim. It wasn't really the time or the place to try defending a friend by arguing semantics given the accusations.

I guess if some billionaire flew me to a private island in the Carribean where young attractive girls started throwing themselves at me, and I was the age and... attractiveness of Minsky, giant alarm bells would have been blaring in my head and I think that of pretty much every sane American male. To not take the entirety of the situation into account and try to paint it as an innocent "I met a girl at the bar who lied about how old she was" is more than a bit disingenuous

I can entertain the idea that YouTube currently has a monopoly (or “owns the market”) on the service of connecting advertisers to small time content creators.

Whether or not it harms society is something I have not concluded. I am aware there are negatives for medium size content creators who lack negotiating power, but also huge upsides to individual content creators who almost always cause YouTube to lose money. And I’m not sure what any alternative is, other than a taxpayer funded version of a YouTube, but that also opens a can of worms.

> I neither stated nor implied that they did.

Sorry, I interpreted “monopolizing a distribution channel” in the context of YouTube compensating content creators to mean YouTube monopolizing distribution of videos by content creators.

About 10 years ago I was living in San Francisco on less than $25k/year. Half my money went to rent, the other half went to food and the occasional movie. I couldn’t cook much, as I didn’t have a kitchen. I was able to increase my income because I’m educated, know some of the right things, and I got lucky as hell. But I was surrounded by people living on less who were flat out stuck. They all asked me why I was living there, and the answer was because I had started a business while homeless and got lucky enough that it was taking off. But I was super lucky to have that opportunity at all.
