I've just moved a small business (25-50 users) off of GoDaddy 365.

Every horror story about other GoDaddy products is equally applicable to their 365 offering.

Their support takes hours to get to, and has hung up on us multiple times when the problem is anything but wanting to purchase more services, putting you back at step 1.

They force you into their own god awful auth instead of Microsofts usual OAuth and it breaks so many things, making you sign in constantly and you can't even use 2FA.

For anyone reading this, never use GoDaddy 365, I am so glad to be free of it.
129 bits, there's a "valid" bit at the top. For most software this is invisible but some code will need to care (most notably, anything that copies pointers will need to preserve that bit.)

Well the problem with having no laws requiring voter ID is that you literally can't catch fraud...since you don't check for ID to see if the person should be voting.

But as serious as people take elections, it's absurd to think people wouldn't do things they shouldn't when their favorite (or least favorite) candidate is on the ballot. You think everyone just plays by the rules?
People are having online chats with google and are being told they will not keep Photos once they cancel. So I think it's safe to assume that if there's not an official google page saying "you will not lose your photos" etc you must prepare for them to vanish either immediately or at any point in the future.
I used to use Tidal for the same reason, but the ongoing MQA debacle pushed me over to Music. I have to say that I preferred Tidal's recommendations.
You are making life choices without much consideration of political and electoral reality, by your own admission. You're allowed to do that. Some of us choose more pragmatic paths and recognize that our individual dislike for 2-party systems does ~nothing to change the fact that we actually physically currently live in a 2-party system which is inherently binary.

If you want to win elections, build coalitions. If you want to rant about how abusive the current system is, you can do that, but don't expect to actually win anything.
There should also be a national database for police officers to register with, maintained by the FBI (or somebody in the Justice Department). So you can't have cops that have been fired (for cause) in one jurisdiction just move somewhere else and easily get another police job.
It doesn't really matter whether it was incompetence vs deliberate weakening. The end result is the same: not secure.

They're a russian-HQ'd and staffed company which alone makes them suspect, and the government seems to have no problem with them, which doubles the suspicion given it's a perfect tool for anti-government groups and terrorists and if the FSB couldn't read everything, they'd be harassing the company, its founders, etc.

Screenshots are a suboptimal way to share code in general, and should be avoided. If you are trying to copy code from a screenshot something has gone horribly wrong in your process. If you are having trouble reading ligatures, that may be a learning curve issue you can adapt to with more use. (Arguably, most ligatures should be obvious with enough familiarity with the programming language without needing to look them up or learn them.)

Most other ways of code sharing you just copy and paste into a non-ligature font if you need to.

Aside: "ASCII" symbols are neither universally shaped or styled either. The easiest and obvious example to mind is the plain 0, dotted 0, slashed 0 choice and confusion with nearby symbols such as O and o and θ (Theta, not far away in "Extended ASCII"). Similarly all the variations of lower-case L (versus 1 and i). Those choices vary considerably between fonts and are another huge reason some people prefer certain monospace fonts over others and the debate over "best" will likely be an ever ongoing one. You may not think these issues compare to ligature use, but it's exactly the same sort of style debates.

I'd even say most leases vs some, especially regarding residential. Buying a house for the purposes of renting requires different financing (although most are being bought for cash) than a typical homeowner's financing which has clauses that says the person receiving the financing will use the address as their primary residence.

These things get ridiculously specific.
Not too surprising in theory. During development, the body requires very fast growth. Very fast growth increases the chance of mutations.

If the selective pressure to develop quickly diminishes, then I would expect that uncontrolled growth (cancer) would be less likely as well. It would be interesting to see if this is observable in other animals (those with the shortest development times, which require the fastest bursts of growth, should be at higher risk for cancer or should have evolved solutions like extra telomerases).

I think you would just create a gmail account, then add the G Suite account in the settings of the new gmail account so it will download all of the G Suite email through POP3 or IMAP.

Definitely give yourself a few days for this before the cutoff -- I've had gmail pull years worth of email from another account and it will eventually hit a rate limit and go very slow.
Introduction to ID-Logic
They're telling some people the exact opposite - that they'll lose all their photos. Google need to forget all this "core", "additional" crap and just list what people will and won't lose access to once they cancel Workspace.

I am thinking for sale, after one year make it open source? Another option is to make it free for personal use, and paid for commercial use. Font licensing is too complicated and I want to simplify it just as if I were to purchase the font for myself - unlimited use for anything and everything. No one should have to worry about using fonts for obvious use cases such as embedding in avionics, etching on nuclear power plant control panels and designing submarine bailout signs.

> of course we have federal officers, but "the police" are not federalized

Huge swaths of police officers in this country are federal police officers - that was my only point. You made a claim that made it seem like police officers were not "federalized" yet and I rebutted that federal police are absolutely a thing.

I don't want to go off on a hypothetical tangent about a centrally managed police force.

---

> me: I feel like it's a weird and reductionist to say we can't address systemic issues with police as a group.

> you: I never said that. where did I say that?

The comment I responded to is as-follows (your words):

1. why do you consider "the police" a single unified group (aside from some "individual officers")?

2. "the police" are not a federalized entity (yet(??))

3. it seems at the very least disingenuous, but also possibly dangerous, to lump tens of thousands of people from disparate cities and counties and states into a single amorphous group

You are making a very clear argument against addressing police as a group, to the point of calling it "disingenuous" and "possibly dangerous." You make a very direct argument here and I think it's disingenuous to claim that you "never said that."

And with that specific bit - I'm done reading your post, and I'm done conversing with you on this topic.
> officer turned off prior to incident

> it's not likely to ever expect the cops to get on the side of checks notes taking funding and job security away from themselves

Then align the incentives.

Harsher penalties for turning them off/disabling them/tampering with their wear protocol in any way.

Weave into the salary a financial bonus for long periods of time without incidents.

And since this is HN: Add some AI bullshit that reviews the tapes to make sure the cameras are not being covered or whatever with a secondary manual review by an outside entity to rule out false positives, make sure every police officer is aware of the automated review, and even if that system doesn't work perfectly I'm sure even a shitty government contractor can make it made good enough to put enough fear into enough corrupt cops so that camera shutdowns don't become routine.
Since the big topic of discussion on HN has been how much artist make from those streams, can you give us a ballpark figure of how much you get from each service?
This is definitely one of the less-fun emergent phenomena of the internet and social media.

If you put slower kids into (legitimately) accelerated programs they just get left behind and do even worse. When you separate children into classes that proceed at different rates based on how fast they learn, everyone is actually getting their own "special classes".

Meanwhile if you try to handicap parents who care, to bring their children to the level of parents who don't care, they just take their children out of the system and put them in private schools. Except of course for the poor gifted kids stuck in public school, ironically, who you wanted to help.

Indeed, good point regarding the likelihood of mainly outside travelers getting targeted. I was wondering myself why the article had so few details regarding what was being done about this problem or why the residents of this town have not voted out the mayor. Based on the point you brought up it is likely that the town residents are not opposed to this stream of town revenue.

Sounds like in the very least the Alabama state government needs to get involved. Another obvious problem is that somehow "civil forfeiture" somehow became a legitimate process in the United States, not to mention the ease with which citizens can be ticketed and fined with no legal recourse, even though according to the 7th Amendment "where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved".

> Another would be making every American turn in their bank accounts into a single account, and slap a limit on how much you can have in there.... whether that's 50 million or 20 billion

This is a fundamental misunderstanding of how money works beyond a small $ amount.

Nobody just keeps millions of dollars in a bank account. When you have lots of money, you own businesses which generate income. The value of those businesses is not fixed, but constantly changing, and dependent on the values of other businesses. So it’s very difficult to assess “PersonX has $Y million” because the value of the companies that they own changes all the time.

They might have $300k in cash, $700k in stocks, and be the founder of a company worth $40m, but they can’t just spend or be taxed on that $40m. The company is significantly less valuable without them running it. And if they tried to sell some of it, then the value would drop and they’d be worth even less. But their net worth still says $41m. How do you tax that?

We don’t tax ownership of companies today because it’s WAY too complicated and convoluted, and would cause significant problems. Instead, we tax the transactions. Meaning that if they sell half of their $40m company for $20m, then they have to pay taxes on that $20m that got converted from “fake money” (company valuation) to “real money” (cash from selling). That’s “Capital Gains” and is taxed today.

Or we also currently tax payments, aka dividends. When a company converts value within itself to cash for its owners. If the $40m company makes $4m in profit and pays that out to the founder, they pay income tax on it.

But the fact that they own a company that’s “worth” $40m shows up in their net worth, even though that’s not real money.
I use the HN email reply notification by Dan Grossman.

http://www.hnreplies.com/

It find it would be impossible to maintain a useful discussion that lasts longer than just a few hours without it. It would be single drive-by comments without dialogue. I probably wouldn’t use HN at all if I didn’t have a service like this one. I do certainly not consider the risk of low quality drawn out debate to be worth missing out on replies.
That's what I use 99% of the time though perhaps I should check out what YouTube Music is about.

Edit: Checked it out and some of the songs in my playlists are grayed out in Music perhaps because it thinks those are non-music videos but nonetheless it looks inferior for my purposes.

Still true. Cuda warps work by team of 32 threads and if there is a branch they have to take both and then select the result. It's fine for loop termination ``while (i < 1000)`` but if there is actual work it's often significantly better to switch to branchless code.
Every policy has winners and losers. The best we can hope for is to maximize the benefits while minimizing the costs (and setting a floor for the losers if possible). In that sense every policy can formulated using the popular conception of the trolley problem, but I’m not sure how useful that is

Q: How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

A: A lot.
There's really not that many of them. Secondary to that, which might be a bit pedantic, is I dislike "conservative" being used as a pejorative as I mentioned. It's not really an accurate reflection of what Manchin or others believe in or what the populations they're voting for are concerned with. As I also stated, I think it's a bit reductive.
I'm doing that right now. Run Google Takeout, which exports an mbox file, then import into Mail (on your Mac). Then gradually copy over emails to your iCloud inbox.
There are in fact multiple political movements, from all sorts of perspectives, that refuse to vote because they don't want to grant legitimacy to an organization they have problems with! This is certainly a position I've seen on the American far left about our elections, but you also see it from entire political parties (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Election_boycott), and there's the more interesting position where Sinn Fein to this day gets elected to Parliament and refuses to participate or vote on things (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstentionism).

So, yes, I think that's a defensible position, and if you wanted to characterize my decision to vote as evidence that I believe that my government as an institution is salvageable and not inherently hopeless the way I believe the police as an institution are, I don't think you'd be wrong.

The other thing is that you wouldn't really do away with elections, you'd do away with the whole organization (the government) that you're electing people to. Which is, in fact, the anarchist position, and I think that position is also defensible.

> Prosperity comes from people, and if people are threatened by crime, they will leave and create prosperity elsewhere.

This is true. Local economics are a large factor in poverty. It's a difficult issue with no simple solutions. The popular strategy of "punish crime more" has not been effective in solving crime or poverty in most places.

> > Most property crime transfers wealth to poorer people, making them less poor and reducing poverty. Convicting and imprisoning criminals increases poverty.

> This is not true in the slightest.

When someone gets a criminal conviction, their future job options get reduced, lowering their income and increasing poverty. When a person is arrested, they sit in jail waiting for arraignment, cannot go to work, and often lose their job. Later, they must take time off work to go to court. Many employers will just fire an unskilled worker rather than give them time off. When a person is in prison, they cannot work and cannot gain work experience. Many people get assaulted in prison and struggle with debilitating PTSD after they get out. This is how convictions and imprisonment increase poverty.

> Don't rich people commit crime up one wall and down the other? Instead of sticking up gas stations, they're sticking up markets and foreign countries.

So far, this discussion has been about theft, robbery, and poverty. White-collar crime is very different. Please don't pretend that they are the same. Please discuss with intellectual honesty.

> So what exactly is the rationale to pay for Apple Music?

For $20 my wife and I both get Apple Music, Apple TV+ (several shows we enjoy on there), 200GB Cloud Storage, and subscription access to a bunch of video games.

2 subscriptions to YouTube Music by itself would cost us the same $20, with none of the other benefits (and it has a muuuuch lousier selection of stuff I like, at least – plus a lot of the user-uploaded content has audio quality on par with some 96khz mp3 I'd have gotten off of napster two decades ago, whereas Apple's increasingly streaming lossless)

At the same time, doesn't AA have the right to protect themselves from potential abuse? I don't have a problem at all saying that I'm not supposed to share my credentials with 3rd parties. The user has no control over what the 3rd party might do, and can only make that decision based on what they think they are going to be doing.
The most frustrating thing in Apple Music for me is that it's album-centric. I can't just say "put this artist in my library". No, I have to put every individual album, EP, and single that I want.
I start from the assumption that it probably has everything under the sun for that specific technology and I grep for keywords, hoping that a relevant project that matches my needs jumps at me
I don't allow existing systems to limit my thinking like that. Optimizing a part or feature of a system that doesn't need to exist is an element of dumb design. Pragmatism demands exploring ideas beyond the existing systems, otherwise we'll remain trapped in them.
Try hooking up AirPods to your iPhone and do nothing else. The Lock Screen changes to have an Apple Music player with a random song you may have never listened to.

Just tried it and had a different experience. The lock screen showed the last thing I was listening to last night: The SiriusXM app.

It's funny because this sometimes catches me by surprise. I'll go to sleep listening to Sirius. Then I'll get into the car 18 hours later, and when the phone auto-connects to the car radio, it suddenly starts playing 40's Junction when I'm merging into traffic.

Happens all the time, but I'm still surprised every time it does.

That is how websites used to be made. jQuery's imperative nature means it can get complex pretty fast. It also doesn't really have a recommended way to structure code. Bringing new devs into an existing large jQuery project is pretty tough.
