No. The rules are incompatible with people that refuse vaccination being entered into international sporting events on Australian soil.

This doesn't appear to be a big loss or problem as the ITF has fully supported the Australian Open.

If players wish to remain unvaccinated they are self-excluding themselves from international events - that is their choice. No one is forcing them to attend just as no one is forcing them to be vaccinated.

Former Uber and Lyft driver here: Uber is a highly automated company. Lyft is more customer oriented. I've fixed several problems with Lyft as a driver by chatting with a rep and getting customer refunds. I don't recall ever talking to a human with Uber.

Uber and Lyft both have service centers with actual employees in major metro areas for onboarding new drivers. If I had a problem like this, I'd go to the service center and get it straightened it out.
I just reviewed that Wikipedia page, and it seems accurate to my account. May I suggest you re-read it? It had nothing to do with the level of taxes, but with the insistence on following the urban mercantile paradigm, and, when farmers couldn't, forcibly taking their land from them.

"The economy during the American Revolutionary War was largely subsistence agriculture.... Some residents in these areas had few assets beyond their land, and they bartered.... In contrast, there was a market economy in the more economically developed coastal areas of Massachusetts Bay.... The state government was dominated by this merchant class.... European business partners ... insisted that they pay for goods with hard currency, despite the country-wide shortage of such currency. Merchants began to demand the same from... those operating in the market towns in the state's interior.... The rural farming population was generally unable to meet the demands... and some began to lose their land and other possessions when they were unable to fulfill their debt and tax obligations."
Except I'm not "repeating a narrative", I'm drawing my own conclusions.

The assertion that anyone who disagrees with (whatever) must have been brainwashed by something they read is pathological for debate.
I definitely agree with you that covid vaccine mandate talk is so much hotter than general vaccine talk for seemingly illogical reasons. Personally, I'm undecided on my own view on requirements in general, mostly because all previous vaccine requirements (that I am aware of) happened prior to the start of my lifetime. I grew up with them as just being "the norm" without really thinking about it.

However, there is one difference that I can tell that is pretty major from all other vaccine requirements that I can think of. The talk around a covid vaccine mandate is one that would impact everything about normal societal life. All other vaccine requirements I am aware of are generally tied to the things you mentioned, but once you are an adult that isn't in the military or going to certain countries, you basically never have any vaccine check. Tying the mandate to school would make it most similar to other vaccine requirements, but that would also be applying the requirement to the least vulnerable group.

It is annoying that the answer is basically "we paid someone [Cloudflare] to do it." In light of that I decided to run some of my own numbers and figure it out.

They are pushing about 245 Mbps out of Cloudflare (averaged over the month). Wholesale IP transit prices are anywhere from 10 cents to a dollar per Mbps depending on volume. Cloudflare dumps 40% of their traffic over peering, putting their price at $14.70/mo. Ignoring fixed capex of servers, Cloudflare is making about $25/mo on this customer.

Given the $11 Backblaze bill, I estimate about 2 TB of data.

A capable dedicated server with 2 TB of disk and 1 Gbps unlimited bandwidth will run about $30 in a major European metro, maybe double that for the US.

With a grand total of $370 vs. $60 worst case, they are spending 516% more to be "serverless."

Edit: Yes Cloudflare has more than one server. Double the price and put one in the US and you still come out ahead.

Edit 2: I'm not saying one way or the other is better. Just that the title is very clickbaity for a "put a credit card into a website" payoff.
I think the idea is you silently harvest the numbers for a while and build up a stockpile before cashing them in. If you wanted to flee the country before getting your payday you might be pretty safe.

> Nat hasn't made any attempts to get Alex rehabilitation for this issue.

You might be right and remember my post wasn’t commenting on Nat and Alex specifically. However, and mean this with the greatest of respect to yourself, even though you’ve been involved with Alex you still don’t truly know how Alex and Nat communicate in private between just the two of them.

The reason I commented is because I’ve recently seen this same kind of mob mentality happen against some genuinely nice people who have kept their association because they were sincerely trying to rehabilitate others. So they didn’t deserve guilt by association. But their cases were different to these ones.

Anyhow I’m not here to defend Nat nor Alex (I don’t even know them) and this is a understandably going to be a highly emotionally charged subject so I’ll refrain from further comments because sometimes my well intentioned remarks can come across poor (totally my issue. I’m working on fixing it).

I do truly wish you happiness in any future relationships and hope this nightmare you’ve been through doesn’t leave any scares (emotional or physical) that cannot heal.

A friend of mine told me that she owns shares in several oil wells in Kansas and Oklahoma. They were originally bought by her father back in the 1950s. She told me that her father was a Korean War veteran and they were presented some opportunities to purchase these shares in lieu of some other kind of money the government was going to give them. I don't know what it was, she didn't say.

But she did say that for basically her entire life (after her father passed away) she's been receiving checks from the oil companies. Usually very small like $40 a month. But sometimes, when USA gets into an oil war and they start pumping their own domestic oil, she gets monthly checks for ~$1,500.

I would be curious to know how much crude USA buys from Canada instead of pumping it domestically. I guess all the domestic oil is part of the strategic oil reserves though.

This is not a technical limitation though. It's a policy limitation.

In theory, a name-constrained intermediate for `.example.com` has no more authority and poses no greater risk than a wildcard leaf certificate for `.example.com`. In both cases the private key can be used to authenticate as any subdomain of `example.com`.

But, name constraints are verified by relying parties (the clients and servers that are actually authenticating remote peers using certificates). It's hard to be certain that everything has implemented name constraints properly. This is, ostensibly and as far as I know, the reason CA/Browser forum hasn't allowed name constrained intermediates.

At some point it probably makes sense to just pull the bandaid off.

How much does public healthcare pay for them? That's the crucial question here, not whether the cost is borne by the individual using the good or by the taxpayers as a group. I mean, clearly universal access to healthcare is improved by collectivizing the cost, but it's improved even more by eliminating the cost, or most of it.
I had to take a detour once because an entire group of them was blocking the street.

Close to there, I once at night encountered the same group on the boardwalk, switched sides, and had to warn a couple that I saw a few meters ahead.

Last year ago I saw and heard the entire group go along our street at 5am or so ... (from the safety of my room). The lady who delivers newspapers around that time told me she sees them often after I warned her, and didn't seem to be particularly concerned.

I think they're very much used to humans and even with young ones not overly aggressive, unless you really push/surprise them, so she must have been unlucky.

With the PowerBook 100 series reference I was referring to the way the laptop was laid out.

Obviously other people made things that look like laptops before. It didn’t take people long to figure out the screen goes on top and the keyboard goes on the bottom.

But other than that things weren’t exactly standardize the way they are today. Much of the time the keyboard was near the bottom of the case instead of the top, so there was no wrist rest area. And then you had the problem of the mouse which was just starting to get popular. Some laptops had a little tiny joystick/control pad thingy next to the screen in the bezel. Some, like Compaq, offered a track ball that would mount onto the side of the computer. Or people put a little tiny track ball up next to the screen. One very creative company had a little tiny pop out mouse.

But Apple was the first one to put the keyboard near the back, giving you wrist rests upfront, and put the trackball (later trackpad) in the middle of the front. The layout practically every laptop uses today.

The only real serious attempt at changing things I’m aware of would be machines where you can either turn the display around to use it like a tablet, or remove the keyboard all together like the Surface.

I just logged into my Feedly for the first time in a couple years (maybe longer). I had moved all my RSS from Google Reader to Feedly back when all that went down.

Turns out, most of the blogs I subscribed to back in the day are now defunct or not updated much. I think that's why I eventually stopped going to my Feedly for RSS aggreggation, and instead for the few moments a day I want to read news/waste time, I just go directly to The Verge, Hacker News, and/or Reddit.

Funny aside, though. My product at work still has a RSS plugin for importing content, and I have it pointed at Reddit RSS feeds for sub-reddits, and it's still working....

Push notifications are a replacement for RSS in the same way that cars are a replacement for public transit.

This is a nonsense comparison. RSS is about presentation, not about real time interaction. And it would not be hard to have RSS feeds support push notifications, or other modernization.

RSS is a universal and accessible way of presenting content, that is what is so inconvenient about it to publishers.

The business model of most platforms today has RSS as competition. It completely undermines analytics, and their ability to fine-tune presentation, for the benefit of the end-user.

I guess I should have mentioned in my post that I am not a professional developer myself. I think I did a pretty good job with the project, but it is certainly amateur.

I'm just comparing the hardness. Software engineering is easier is my argument. The patchy nature of software makes it easier.

>How so? Flexibility means more ways to shoot yourself in the foot

True but people do so anyway. People in software repeatedly shoot themselves in the foot all the time than shrug it off. Oh it's just a bug. Hence the easiness.

>How is this indicative of rigour? Yes, software has a lower barrier to entry.

Rigour is another argument, though software definitely has less rigour. But my point is software engineering is easier. Doesn't low barrier to entry mean it's easier? It's like literally a synonym.

>A lot of software is written haphazardly without process, but I wouldn't classify that as software engineering because there is no engineering process there.

That's why it's easier. The "software process" is not really required. It's like an optional thing. Plenty of software shops prioritize speed over planning.

Money laundering is the key here - you have it going out of one account to another one... registered in Micronesia that just happens to have been emptied yesterday and closed.

The QR code and URL (essentially the same piece of information) point to a server somewhere that could be some idiot running it on their personal real-name AWS account but is probably a dead end of the server host either being shifty/ignorant and accepting cash with no contact details or having given the server out to someone with entirely fraudulent contact details.

It's possible if they're greedy the money trail will be easy to follow, but if they're willing to lose a large proportion of their earnings passing it through some people that can launder money well then they'll probably get off scot free.
