> no one is calling for an end of law enforcement.

There are several comments in this discussion calling for abolishing the police. Whenever this topic gets brought up, it usually seems like half the people are defending "Defund the Police" by saying that no one wants to get rid of the police, and the other half are defending "Defund the Police" by telling people why the police should be abolished.

And people with political power are calling for the abolishing them as well. This is Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib from last April:

> No more policing, incarceration, and militarization. It can't be reformed.

I'm not sure why people who want reform are so set on tying themselves to this slogan. If I starting chanting "Defund Public Schools!", I wouldn't expect anyone to interpret that as "remove bloat from school budgets and use the money to fund social services for the kids in order to lessen the burden on teachers and make public schools function better."

The article's technique relies on the Domain Registrar providing email forwarding. But I would recommend not using Google Domains. If and when Google's AI bans your gmail account, you lose access to the DNS configurations of your custom domain. And it will be impossible to move the domain to another Registrar because Google Domains will require you to verify ownership with your gmail account, which it has terminated. You can try to do this with a 3rd party domain registrar. Just make sure that your domain's admin account is NOT gmail.

Also, the article assumes that email forwarding is all that you want from a custom domain. Legacy GSuite users may be using other Google features and products, such as Calendar, Contacts, Groups, etc.
There's also this one...

> The best way to talk about a startup idea in the very early stages is to talk about its users.

Sounds about right!
I find it interesting that there are already 79 comments and no one remembers: this was advertised back then as "FREE FOREVER". Even before that I was a beta user, quite sad that Google is not wealthy enough to keep its promise.
Hello. Yes.
Subletting isn't an agency relationship. It's not like tenants provide a service to landlords by occupying the property as well as paying rent.

Also, the law around real property including leases is different and more involved than straightforward contractual relationships.
So, we enter the brave new world of extortion for data held hostage. Cool. I wonder if Google has factored in what this will do to their brand image, the cost in the longer term will likely far outstrip the savings and the resulting income from sign ups.
I think you're right, but it's hard to argue that flying is both an amazing human achievement and is also just the worst.

Edit: Wow, re-listening to the bit, my memory definitely failed me. Basically a rant on how we should be grateful that airline companies are even able to get a plane in the air. I think we can do better, personally.
I guess it is sarcasm. Writing a paragraph after "Hello" and keeping communication asynchronous is one shift + enter press more expensive than wasting your coworker's time and making them anxious.
I have used Pandora over VPN for like 10 years but decided to just drop it because it's not worth the hassle of getting the US app on iPhones anymore. They have the coming soon page for Germany up since 2014 and still nothing. I miss it.
So say your custom domain is example.com and you have a user who logs in with me@example.com that has data in Google Gmail, Drive, Photos and Calendar. What are the migration steps? I'm finding this really confusing.

Backup Gmail and Calendar, switch to business essentials plan, then cloud identity plan, set up email for me@example.com with some other provider and you can still use me@example.com to access your old Drive and Photos?
I know they will use a fallback spread to convert 3 month Libor to SOFR. But is the spread really a constant?
Good lord yes. The second I heard the phrase "defund the police" I immediately had a vision of the conservative attack ads:

Open on an elderly woman, sitting quietly at home knitting. Suddenly we hear a window smash, and we see a burgler, in a ski mask and everything, attacking her window with an axe. She lets out a scream and runs for her landline. She dials 911, breathing heavily, and says "Hello, I need help-". But an automated voice on the other line cuts her off "we're sorry, due to recent funding changes, the operating hours of emergency services has been reduced. To leave a message, please stay on the line". As the voice drones on, we zoom in on the phone, hear a muffled scream, and the phone drops dramatically onto the floor. Fade to black, brought to you my Americans for a more American America.

... I mean seriously, the attack ad writes itself. I would honestly donate money every month to a nonprofit who's sole job was to find progressive activists, and run whatever shit they are saying through a focus group. I'm in favor of police reform and everything those activists are saying, but they need to get their shit together.
Consolas is still one of the best
I actually disagree here, iTunes music is DRM free so users still have it without the subscription service, and the music streaming services all have most of the tracks unlike video streaming so there's no moat to be built. Bad for Apple, good for consumers.

> We have police that are federal in this country.

of course we have federal officers, but "the police" are not federalized, and hopefully that distinction and the reason for making it are clear. there is a huge difference between the current state of affairs vs. a world where our nation's police force was actually federalized & centrally managed. we don't live in that world, and pretending that we do, when we don't, but we easily could, isn't a very good idea.

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

I never said that. where did I say that?

> Also - who cares if someone picks a side?

the problem isn't so much picking a side as it is in presenting any sort of political rhetoric in black-and-white, zero-or-one, left-or-right binaries—especially when distortionary, obfuscating memes/slogans are used to do so. this is literally the single biggest problem in contemporary politics. all nuanced discussion on an issue is lost when you frame things in terms of, "pick a side, you're either with us, or you're with the Nazis/etc. etc." ("well actually I take issue with this one aspect of what you're saying." "you would, Nazi! I knew you weren't really on Our Side.")

overgeneralizing issues and using propagandistic slogans literally designed to inflame and polarize, specifically in order to bifurcate the perception of reality among the general populace, has yet to be proven to actually solve anything—it really just seems like it makes people feel good for joining Team A or Team B, feeling righteous about being on The Correct Side Of The Issue, and vitriolic toward The Other Side. it's a great way to lead a country into a downward spiral nosedive toward destruction, and it's been highly effective so far—maybe we should stop and take notice of this phenomenon and take steps to rectify it!

Not OP, but speaking for myself, one of the biggest annoyances is that both Google and Apple actively resist the actual standard that's already there and widely supported by playback devices (Miracast), and instead push for their own proprietary walled garden solutions (Chromecast, AirPlay).

Google in particular is the worst offender here because they actually had Miracast in Android all the way up to Nexus 4 - and then deliberately removed it! Other vendors of Android devices generally reinstate it in their distros, although I do wonder how long that is going to last (probably right until Google makes not supporting it a condition of getting Google Play certified).
I actually like the iOS Music app (though their queue system isn't as intuitive as Google Play Music/YouTube Music) but their webapp and Mac app are hot garbage.

I recall seeing an article that said the Mac app was being rewritten in the new macOS betas.
$6 is the real price and not introductory. Even the most expensive standard plan (Business plus) is $18/month and would be $648 year for 3 ppl. Not sure where they got $1000.
Wow, seeing so many comments high school/college exam dreams do seem universal. I have had these dreams like forever. To think about high school was almost 25 years ago.

Another theme for me is not able to board on plane. More than missing flight it is about being stuck to places where I do not want to be.
There’s a lot of literature, some of which is touched on in the link I shared. In general:

1. Crime rarely surges so dramatically as it has in the last 6 years. Note that before 2014, crime had been trending down consistently for decades.

2. Homicides spiked all over the country following major BLM protests.

3. The counties with the largest BLM activity saw the largest decreases in proactive policing and commensurate increases in homicides.

How much more evidence is required (and how many additional thousands need to die) before we get folks on board to reverse these trends?
I don't understand what you're suggesting using rclone for how. I'd be interested in reading your article.
> Thanks to Canada’s low tuition costs

I went to school in canada and I'm not sure I'd call it "low" (especially when you're a broke student) but I don't have any number to compare it to. I went to uni in the 2010's and I remember it being like 8-10K/year or so for engineering.

What's the average price elsewhere? I think in the UK it's mostly paid for through taxes?
Exercise is good for you?
> Why would anyone want to do this if it only works on one browser?

Chrome is at least as dominant as IE 5 & 6 were. The only reason that you're not hearing constant screaming about the near-monopoly (indeed, most of the screaming is abusing Apple for not just "doing what Google says" in the browser space) is because for some reason people think that the monopoly is good when an advertising company is doing it.
I kinda doubt it. It's probably just that open sourcing it won't provide much utility (I bet lots of code is aws specific) and just adds a new maintenance burden for them.
the $6/mo isn't discounted. cosmotic has 14+ email accounts for some reason.
Nowadays I tend to use bandcamp.com over iTunes for purchased music. It tends to only have smaller artists on there but they also sell flac/wav, which I like better than buying compressed music (I listen to things compressed but if I'm buying it I want it future-proof).
It totally works. I've built robots controlled via web USB like 10 years ago. It's great. I've written midi tools that work with webmidi..they worked well also. Dunno why ppl are hating on it. Safari/FF are the new IE and IE is chromium now. It's a strange world but the way you get these standards adopted is to make killer apps that use them.
If you think Apple's TASTE is bad, you should try TIDAL. Its really bad.
I would have no problems with this if Google just provided a way to convert GSuite accounts into personal Google accounts. In fact, I'd prefer to pay if it means no ads/data gathering in GMail.

I've lived in this obnoxious state for a long time where my Google account (with an email address that is nearly as old as Google itself so I'm not switching) sometimes works, sometimes doesn't (and even sometimes works then suddenly stops working one day) for any random Google service.

I just want to keep my email address and have a plain old Google account. Is that too much to ask? That's all I ever wanted and that's all I thought I was getting when I signed up so long ago. I wish I had a time machine so I could go back and warn myself before I signed up for "Google Apps For Your Domain".

"YouTube Music was the only Western DSP to increase global market share during this the period. YouTube Music particularly resonates among Gen Z and younger Millennials, which should have alarm bells ringing for Spotify, as their core base of Millennial subscribers from the 2010s in the West are now beginning to age."

It's also in the chart.
Google Planning for Crypto Cards
> You could technically create a script of some kind that runs git diffs across the git history of files, and maybe create a "*.changelog" child file for each note

I think you may have missed my core point. I don't want to revise old notes repeatedly. If I have something to add, or a change in my thinking, I want to create a new note, with a new timestamp, that describes my new thought. Then I want to use #tags to view a timeline of all dated notes that match a specific tag.

Think about GitHub issues. If you discover some new information about an issue, do you edit the initial bug report in place? Probably not (unless it's a minor error like a misspelling). You add a new comment to the existing issue, which makes it clear that this is new information that you didn't know when you filed the issue initially.

I want note taking to operate more like a journal or blog, with journal entries easily selectable by #tag.

I wouldn't put it past the court system to make web browsers ("user agents" as we called them back in the day) illegal accidentally. I'd be more surprised if they didn't, honestly.

it's staying free until Google announces that personal email accounts are made obsolete by offering some super email account with some killer feature, of course free with a small print: for 12 months, then some fee.

That's completely fair and I even pay for iTunes Match even though I don't really use it anymore, it and Apple Music never meshed well in my experience but maybe it's gotten better. There is a way to listen to your own music in Spotify (even mobile) [0] but it might be a little shaky, I doubt they care much about it. I've used it before but only on desktop.

Well, I am not actually framing things as "'the police' are bad, except for some individuals." Sorry if that was unclear.

I really don't think it is either well-defined or relevant whether the individuals are "good" or "bad." As an analogy that is hopefully clear at the risk of being a little inflammatory: almost all of the 18-year-old conscripts of any random country you might be at war with have absolutely zero influence over the political direction of that country. But that doesn't change the fact that people handed them a gun and told them (even, perhaps, forced them) to shoot at you. They can be utterly kind and friendly individuals (see e.g. the World War I Christmas truce), but if they're about to shoot at you, that's a problem regardless of whether they're kind. When someone says "The XYZ army is about to invade us," it makes no sense to say "Well most of the XYZ soldiers are good people!"

And no, the distinction is not whether they're actually shooting at you. If they're lined up on the border ready to invade, if they're in training camps practicing shooting, if they're not assigned to be a footsoldier but they are assigned to build infrastructure and implement logistics for the invasion, etc., they're contributing to the invasion, and you'd still say that the entire invading army needs to be stopped. Saying that most of the invading army hasn't seen active combat yet and therefore isn't personally culpable is also nonsensical.

Or put another way - in gang-ridden territories or in post-war countries ruled by warlords, it's often the case that gang members or soldiers will do things to genuinely benefit the people who live there, running essential food and medicines across blockades, keeping people safe from other gangs or warlords, etc. That hardly justifies the gang or the warlord as a good government, though!

Every single person who works for a police department, without exception, works for an organization that is doing bad things. If, somehow, the specific things they do as individuals are good, when they do them on behalf of the organization, it serves to increase the legitimacy of that organization to gain more power and do more bad things in the future. If they are good people who haven't incurred personal moral culpability for doing anything wrong, great! I'm not in the business of judging souls for heaven or hell. I'm in the business of having opinions, as a citizen of a republic, about how that republic should be constituted.
Yes, it’s going to be slower

All of those security checks between components and memory passing will cause it to be slower.

But that doesn’t mean it’s a worthy trade off.

Fantastic! I'm so pleased
Pure-functional techniques can give advantages 'down the road', regardless of what language they're used in. For example, pure functions can be tested without any mocking; they can trivially be made concurrent/parallel; their contents can be rearranged/refactored (referential transparency); etc.

Unfortunately it's very tempting to intorduce side-effects 'just this once', which can make those techniques less useful, and takes some discipline to avoid. For example, in Scala it's easier to just throw an exception instead of wrapping results in a 'Try' type; or likewise for null/'Option'; etc. mostly since those results then require map/mapN/flatMap/traverse/etc. to handle, rather than giving us values directly.

However, I think it's usually worth the effort. For example, those map/mapN/flatMap/traverse functions are essentially 'setting policies' for how effects should interact; whilst the 'core logic' can remain completely agnostic.

As a very simple example, if we have 'l: List[A]' and 'f: A => Option[B]', we can combine these in multiple ways, e.g.

l.map(f) : List[Option[B]] // Run f on all elements, keeping all results
l.flatMap(f) : List[B] // Run f on all elements, discarding empty results
l.traverse(f): Option[List[B]] // Run f on elements in sequence; abort if any are empty

We can replace 'Option' with 'Future' to talk about concurrency rather than emptiness. We can replace 'Option' with 'Try' to talk about exceptions rather than emptiness. All of those expressions remain identical.

More esoterically, we can replace 'Option[T]' with 'Reader[X, T]' for dependency injection of an 'X'; etc.

I've used these techniques commercially in PHP, Python, Javascript, Haskell and Scala (and academically in Racket, StandardML, Coq, Idris, and Agda too)
I never claimed that IPFS magically ensures permanent storage, but the connection between the IPFS content ID (hash) and the content is permanent: If you have a copy of an image or other data, and an NFT with an IPFS content ID, you can show that your file is the one associated with the NFT. That's true even if the entire IPFS network were to disappear since verifying that a file matches a content ID is something you can do locally without depending on IPFS.

As to permanence, IPFS makes it easy to pin any available data on your own node to ensure it stays around. Even if it disappears from the network for a time it can be re-added with the same content ID as long as someone retains a copy. Just make sure you save it somewhere, preferably before spending money on the NFT. If the file completely disappears your NFT won't be worth much.
While it's a cute saying, it's not entirely fair. Luck also plays a large rôle.

The Antarctic could perfectly well have killed Amundsen, too, just like it killed Scott. It's true his journey was better planned and prepared, but that didn't mean his success -- or indeed survival -- was guaranteed.
This impacts me and my family for sure. I'm not so worried about the business implications of going to paid, but I have been providing my family with firstname@ourfamilyname.tld for decades and they now have deep ties with that as their primary email addresses for all manner of things and for Google ecosystem stuff. Am I so generous to pay $72/year per family member and/or I am going to have to figure out out to rebill/resell services to them. This is a major change and is one of the use cases Google marketed this to and has subsequently forgotten about.

Spotify is trying to add new revenue streams and revenue growth.

Netflix is fighting content being taken away - they didn't have their own, and now content owners realize the value of their catalogs. There are also lots of new players (HBO, Disney, Peacock, Amazon, Apple). Once Netflix builds a bigger catalog, they can relax and curate better.

Amazon and Apple don't have these problems. They can purchase studios to artificially build their catalogues. If they weren't buying content, Netflix would be paying less. In fact, Netflix would probably be the beneficiary of studio consolidation if the giants were not writing checks too.

Spotify and Netflix don't have a grocery store or hardware business unit to help speed up investments.

It's vastly unfair to have horizontally scaled command of several industries, especially when they have built in synergies you can abuse.
