Not since they redid the gmail UI, it's _intolerably_ slow. Granted, the only thing iCloud has going for it is the speed of the interface compared to gmail, the overall interface is rather poor.

fwiw I use Fastmail, it's relatively inexpensive (~$100/3 years). My only real gripe is the app passwords tend to break, but the fastmail client is pretty good.
I used it in the pandemic for online appointments at several agencies like "Bürgeramt", "Arbeitsamt" etc.

No, you are the one claiming that illegal products are always cheaper. I am saying it is murky.
Right. The comment implies that this kind of emotional commitment used to be the norm, which is very much a [citation needed] kind of claim.

A bit of family lore had it that when some distant ancestors of mine no longer could live independently in old age, one child took in the husband to live with them, and another child, quite distant from the first one, the wife. My mother, upon learning of that arrangement, exclaimed how hard it must have been for that couple to be separated in their final years, only to hear "Quite the opposite! They couldn't stand each other for the longest time."

My company will give you more work. Just no raise or promotion to go with it. I honestly don't see most companies giving raises with additional work.
Are there other solutions to prevent the billions in stolen identity claims and returns filed each year? The IRS isn't doing this just to be a pain in the ass or make it more difficult for people to file but because there is an actual problem that costs tens of billions every year.
> I've seen 20% jumps from tenant to tenant.

It's the eviction moratorium making this worse.

You have someone who was paying $1600 in rent, now they can only afford $800 and stop paying but can't be evicted. So they're still effectively bidding $1600 for that unit and the two people who both want the vacant unit next door have to outbid each other instead of one taking the vacancy and the other taking the eviction. So the price of those units rises to $2000.

Now the person who can only afford $800 is effectively bidding $2000 for that unit and still can't be evicted. Prices for everyone go up to subsidize the person who isn't paying at all. Which makes the first+last+security problem worse by making it a larger amount of money.
Thank you. I find it increasingly difficult to deal with extraction and moving the boxes. This design appeals to me but I am hoping to find a group online before I can invest in it.

Have you heard of the flow hive? https://www.honeyflow.com/ I have considered replacing my entire set up with this. With covid, I have no labour. And I had to rent a space for bottling. All that cost plus cleaning/sterilizing etc is worth the extra cost of self extraction hives that seems to be the promise of flow hive.

I do need hives for the orchard for pollination. I grew lavender for essential oil. The field has aged out and I am thinking of razing it down. Every year I am growing more and more disillusioned over the notion of hobby farming small acreages. No matter what I grow, I have to consider labour costs/availability.

At any poiny, I’d have 7-14 langstroth. I want to increase honey production upto 30-50 hives. Flow hive would be astronomical in costs. Cost savings won’t scale. AZ hives seems like it could be work!

Yep, paid hackathon, but participation was voluntary. There were a few limitations:

* It had to directly relate to the product.

* You could not use the time to work on some existing project.

* You had to be able to finish it by the end of the hackathon.

Hackathon projects were sometimes adopted by a permanent team, if there was a good fit.
I tried id.me and it was a pain in the ass to use and failed on one part. I'm guessing with their anti-fraud style fail closed system this will effectively lock out a lot of old people from using their online services.
> Unlike 1Password, Bitwarden is not pressured to deliver high returns to venture capital firms, and Bitwarden can focus on providing its product to its users at superior price points

Well said - and this is the important part of the 'non-proprietary' argument of mine (above) - right now I consider 1Password's real customers being their shareholders/investors, not its users - the users are just another tool they use to bring value to their real customers (investors,etc.).

BitWarden's customers are their actual users.
You're proud of the fact that you exploited your tenant's desperation to extract an extra month's rent when they can barely afford 12?

For everyone wondering why landlords get a bad reputation, this right here is the reason. It's also what people mean when they say "It's expensive to be poor".
Ha I appreciate the thought, but it's hard to compare novel writing from thought leaders to funny images. I wish I could charge more, but I don't think the value is quite there yet. Maybe if I was strict about exclusive content (which I don't want to be; I like giving artists flexibility on where/how they distribute their work), I could get away with charging higher as well.

1Password is vastly superior to Bitwarden from a UX perspective, and considering that's literally the only reason I have a password manager, that is, by far, the most important thing.

If you think "security" is the reason you have a password manager, how come all of your accounts are tied to your email address? If you just wanted security, there are, by far, more secure tools and practices you could employ than Bitwarden (among them keeping a notebook of passwords on your person at all times).

Your comment reads, to me, as a signaling effort. "I'm aware of bad corporations and I don't support them!" is less strong of a signal than you may think.
Baby Buddy helped me out in large part because even before I had a kid, I was kind of scatterbrained. After… oh god.

I kind of get why a lot of people react negatively. If you had the happy path, you think lactation consultants are ridiculous (what’s more natural than a baby sucking a boob?!), and of course the baby’s going to cry when he’s hungry, and he’ll be hungry when he needs to eat. And what are grandmothers and aunts and friends with older kids for, but to help the new mother learn her job and to point out to her when they think something’s not quite right with the baby that they’re constantly dropping by to cuddle?

Hi. Welcome to having a kid an ocean away from your close friends, a decade after your mother died, at a point in the pandemic when we were hearing promising news about vaccines being developed and quick, cheap tests on demand were a fantasy.
I mean, I'm opposed to ID's to buy some of those things too. But thats my libertarianism speaking. Generally we have no strict ID requirements for those items, its up to the seller to verify age, which that can do by obvious appearance, or by carding the person. It's why you dont get carded all the time.

Driving requires a specific credential and is not relevant for this discussion.

Flying is another case, you do not need an ID to fly, there are provisions to fly without photo ID if you do not have one, they're just more time consuming and meant to be somewhat punitive.
Well, that's just the time necessary to action the accounts. You'd still need to hire all of those people, get them equipment and software, pay them, etc. IT, HR, management, payroll. Probably double or triple your man-hours. But on top of that, I specifically chose what are probably unrealistically low numbers. It would maybe be closer to 20-30% utilization and 8-20 hours to close a case (totally guessing here :shrug:). So maybe 730 - 2700 man-years, roughly. Plus above-mentioned overhead.

Spinning up a 500 person accounting firm wouldn't be snappy.
The software has nothing to do with it, the "vulnerability" is that they probably have a 1Gbps port that is getting 5Gbps of reflected UDP thrown at it. I'd love to see your software mitigation for that.

I have a similar story-ish but without the cloak and dagger part.

I was employed as a temp working for a large custodial bank. On of the functions there was to confirm that the holdings we thought we had in various assets matched the holdings that issuer thought we had. They had a system which would automatically accept various spreadsheet from issuers and would flag up the discrepancies.

Our job was to identify why we had discrepancies. By far the most common discrepancy was trades which occured over the report period. I wrote an VBA macro in Excel which scraped the IBM 390 terminal emulator and would identify these and automatically and close the discrepancy in the system referencing the transaction IDs. Often it would automatically close more than half of the discrepancies with no manual intervention. Literally days of work each month.

I could easily see someone more ballsy coming up with something like than and keeping it to themselves. Add socially normalised work from home and it would be trivial to do nothing for several days which still appearing to be working faster than most people on the team.
International law simply is what countries agree upon, either bilaterally or multilaterally. Even if countries disagree and international law indeed favours one party, in most circumstances there's hardly any recourse if that party is the weaker one.

Technically, the US can seize the assets of a US company that refuses to comply with these rules (or simply have their CEO arrested). That's what it comes down to: If a US company has a controlling stake in a subsidiary it's legally obligated to hand over any data that subsidiary controls.

The EU on the other hand could escalate this further and prohibit American citizens and organizations from owning a majority stake in EU-based companies because that's what this boils down to on the other hand: Running or even just doing business with a company that's controlled by a US entity technically is illegal for EU businesses and citizens right now.

This is not a pretty situation, but it's not one either where one side is clearly right and the other side is clearly wrong.

In principle, I agree with the EU point of view. Privacy is a fundamental right that should be upheld. However, de facto outlawing most economic activity and then washing one's hands of any responsibility to provide a reasonable alternative is no solution at all, but makes the problem worse: Businesses might establish legal entities outside the EU, where they're not affected by this. Others might try to host and run everything themselves, which will result in much less secure data and infrastructure because most SMBs simply aren't able to provide the same security standards as Microsoft, Amazon or Google.

It's on the EU und the US to provide a dependable legal framework for dealing with these types of situations. That's ultimately what entities like the EU are for, after all.
Yup that's about right. I don't mind though; I view this project as a labor of love.

I found that most teaching platforms for voice actors out there are run by a bunch of celebrities who are pushing edutainment, not education.

So I wanted to make something specific for voice actors. I will try to branch it out to other creators later.

I've heard that it's possible to strike a balance by self-hosting incoming email and outsourcing outgoing email to Amazon SES. SES provides SMTP credentials which should be fairly straightforward to use. Anyone has experience with this kind of setup?
Regardless of the TAM of secret management and the enterprise market for it.. this is a ton of money. I don't fault 1Password for taking it if it was offered, but I personally find it off-putting. How can the market opportunity be so compelling to justify that level of investment, but at the same time require that much capital infusion to chase? If there is enough demand it should be possible to balance funding from external investment and cash flow. They've been around 17 years, so my hope is it is just early investors cashing out on a $7B valuation, which seems doesn't seem unreasonable. It is hard to know without more details.
Is there an equivalent of Microsoft’s Home Use Program (HUP) for Google Workspace?

HUP gets you Microsoft 365 (Office apps, OneDrive, ad-free email with a 50GB quota and one custom domain) for your family, with 30% off list price for people using Microsoft solutions at work — which is most office workers, assuming their employers have opted in.

It’d be nice to see something similar from Google.

> AKA don't expect any response because "the board" is too high up to deal with a nobody like you or me.

Well, maybe. Legislators are really variable on constitutent service, but many will (or rather, will allow their office staff to; direct, even by something going out under their name rather than a staff contact, is less common) at least gently probe on behalf of constituents on state service issues, and if a high enough volume is involved are more likely to get personally involved.

But any response that does happen is likely to involve butt covering and blame redirection from virtually every step of the management chain, just like when an issue hits the news media, so on issues where you haven't exhausted other avenues short of lawsuits, it's probably not the step to reach for the way escalating to a manager would be. I’ve definitely been involved in issues where premature escalation to a legislator delayed and/or made the resolution less favorable than it probably otherwise would have been because of the degree of attention from management, legal, public and legislative affairs, etc., that the escalation triggered.

It makes sense in the particular circumstances described, though, it's just the analogy that was flawed in a way which might be misleading as to how that generalizes to other situations.

Elections are local not national, so why would you need a national ID? You can use a State ID for a local election, and each election can have their own requirements about it, matching whatever the local ID in use there is.
How so? And people have been creating fonts for 500 years. What's the need to create more? It's just a font.
Capturing notes in a decent UI seems to be a solved problem and there are a lot of tools out there for the job. Searching through a lot of notes also seems to be a solved problem.

However, the structured organization of a large collection of notes (think thousands to tens of thousands of notecards in boxes..) as well as the finding connections between seemingly unrelated notes doesn't seem to be a solved problem. Does anyone know of any solutions in this space? Zettelkasten (per my understanding) seems to make this manual on part of the note-taker, but (1) this is super time consuming and (2) very hard to keep track of all the note cards as the collection grows over time.
Amazing, didn't know this existed. This plus my NC headphones, bliss. Enjoying it while I type this. Thank you!!
Make the ids free? I've been out of Mexico for >10yrs but when I became 18 I easily got my voting id in Mexico, free of charge.

While I have long dreamt of public-key cryptography in place of a SSN, I don't think blockchain adds any value on top of that (except filling out a buzzword bingo square).

(Among other issues) I really don't want my identity to become someone else's speculation device and would strongly prefer preventing that if at all possible. Companies selling personal data back and forth as a commodity is already bad enough.

> a system that's too perfect can uniquely identify you, in ways that prevent disassociation (ex: the place of birth on the passport is of great interest to some totalitarian places, while only citizenship should matter..)

Isn't this all information they already have (and would presumably keep)? Ultimately, it's the governing body that's dealing out these keys to access data they already have about you. What data is stored is completely separate from how that data is stored.

If you don't want birthplace on the passport, that's totally separate from SSN vs public keys vs blockchain.

> the ideal ID system is decentralized, self-declarative, and the weight of the proof depends on the length of history, not on "who" says it's true

It would need to also be public, no? Otherwise, it boils back down to "who says it's true".

> moving away from the current system that's a direct descendant of the census (give the lord a list of people to tax them)

If you don't want to be taxed, that's also a separate issue.
It doesn't just make the code harder to read, it makes it run slower, too. Static typing provides some compile-time guarantees about what's going to go where, so the compiler can make a lot of simplifying assumptions that speed things up.

> The US does not have a national ID database, and there is a lot of resistance against making one.

Which is hilarious, because if you combine the databases of the SSA and IRS, you get most everything that would be in such a database anyway. SSA gives you a pretty comprehensive list of people, even non-citizens. IRS gives you an annually-updated address and some other info. Throw in the State department and you get passport information for those that have gotten one, which will include a photo.
Nope. The Nature article was written well before the actual results and studies were released. The studies are unequivocally clear that the primary goal of the studies (at that time) were to measure prevention against symptomatic infection.

I said "government" and mentioned both state and federal. The point is that there is no ID required in any state. Voter ID cards are not the obligation of the government to provide - voters much take the steps to procure them. The right to vote precedes and predates such a requirement - if the state wants to impose it, that's fine but it should come with the obligation upon the state government to provide the ID, not a requirement to procure it.
This reminds me of how my stances on almost anything are circumstantial to the government they apply to.

I remember when Mitt Romney got blasted for being against Federal involvement in healthcare while having signed state level legislation for the same thing when he was Governor of Massachusetts. I saw that it was seen as controversial politician hypocrisy but I noticed that it matches my ability to compartmentalize topics. (note: I don't have an opinion on the actual issue of that event and don't care, only noticed I could just as easily look at the circumstances for one jurisdiction and like an outcome, while being against the same outcome in another jurisdiction)

That ability was tested when one time I was stopped by border police on a train into Germany or Austria. They just did a check scan of my passport. Some residents on the train thought it was embarrassing for their country that it could be "so unwelcoming" to foreigners, but myself and some other foreigners from different places were pretty enamored.

This doesn't translate to my stance on US checks based on appearance, or ID requirements in the US or political affiliation or anything.

Only reason I write it is because I wonder if there are other people like me, because I can't tell.
Focusing scrubbing smokestacks (where large amounts of new CO2 is concentrated) should be exactly where the focus should be. Direct open air capture really only makes sense once we've learnt to deal with the low hanging fruit.
Why people who haven’t been to the few recent burns (or any ever) feel obliged to comment on this thread.

And why they think their comments have anything to do with the actual reality? Isn’t _this_ what is called out of touch?

The origin of the thread is also quite ridiculous as pointed below in the comments, since when burning some oil became a problem? And since then condemning that is anything more than virtue signaling?

Now, to the actual topic, as somebody who’ve been to the recent burns (and no, I didn’t fly in on a jet and was not a part of the plug and play camp).

Last year burn was freaking awesome! A lot of people don’t realize, but BM Org actually stopped doing their events for 2 years. But you still can camp there legally. Just with no fires on the ground. So the community took the matter in their hands and organized a Renegade Burn. First year it was about 1.5k in size, second about 12k. And this is insane what can be done with no central coordination.

Instead of the burning man we had a great drone show of a man that brought some people to tears (keeping the spirit alive). There were no massive sound camps as before, but instead a lot of grassroots smaller camps with ridiculous music that made me laugh so much. Instead of the streets there were now islands of life in the desert with no fences. And instead of the porta-potties you now had to figure out your situation yourself.

It went mostly smoothly, my expectation was that in the end there will be a ton of crap and poo left, but no, we stayed till Tue and I haven’t seen anything like that (although I heard of some instances).

I am very curious what would happen next year if it keeps going like that, can this self-org sustain the larger scale or would it have to become the new BMOrg. But don’t think we’ll be able to see it as BMOrg takes back the reigns and runs the next one again, afaik. So unless no major covid wave again, we’re back to what we had 3 years ago (which is also a one-in-a-lifetime insane experience, just of a different sort)

Another anecdote that I find fun. Five years ago I’ve met a guy who was on 32 burns, I think from the first or second. I asked him the same question, how much it changed.

Long story short, it does change all the time. It’s in its nature and the nature of things. You either accept that or stick to your ideal picture of something and suffer. Anicca, “you can’t maintain reality to your satisfaction”, but it is still beatifull and powefull and full of love and I’m gratefull to all people who help and ever helped to bring it to life.
