I had a small task that Illustrator would have been the right tool to use. However, with all the [expletive deleted] around dark patterns on the free trial, I decided that I was better off doing it with Affinity Designer instead.

As a former admin of an isp & running saas apps I applaud you greatly for your approach. Some people may find these approaches are "heavy handed" but the reality this is what life is like in 2022 with email. Should we need to do this? Definitely not, but it's an arms race and each company sending email has to up their game - to both be compliant in getting email accepted, and to foster a healthy relationship with customers.

The comment about "lifetime prepayment option" is exactly something that MUST have an unsubscribe option to it. I understand everyone is trying to increase business, but this is something @rsync missed mentioning, insisting you don't need one.

I am sure Czech healthcare system has been subjectively better in your experience. But I hesitate to call it objectively better than Canada's, given that life expectancy at birth is 3 years shorter in Czechia compared to Canada. Something must be causing the disparity, and usually that tends to be the healthcare.

Neutralization of omicron was massively improved by a third shot.

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-00214-3

>Blood from individuals who received one or two doses had little ability to neutralize Omicron. But blood from people who had received a booster dose of an mRNA vaccine fought the variant effectively. Their neutralization capacity against Omicron was only four- to sixfold lower than against the original strain.

While younger healthier folks are much less likely to have severe symptoms in the first place there is no reason to believe that what chance they have of experiencing such doesn't decrease further with boosting.

A simple explanation my friend: the unwashed masses are, with good effort, making an attempt to adopt an affectation of good taste. "This fine vegetable is an acquired taste, say they. But it is evident to anyone who can be imputed with, in the real sense of the word, "fine tastes" that it is precisely an affectation undertaken to give the impression they have some degree of sophistication.

But what you've said, sir, is concerned with a fallacy in any case. Would you so blithely recommend Nickelback on the presumption that because it is popular it is good, and it is good because it is popular? I suspect so, but a man of sophistication, refinement, and class such as myself can in no wise commit to espousing such a view!

The main issue IMO is that the original dose schedule of 2 doses 1 month apart is stupid, goes against pretty much all of our first principles understanding of immunology, and was driven by a regulatory need for a short time window for testing/deployment (it’s quicker to test a vaccine w 1 month window than one with 6 month window), not due to science. The optimal dosing schedule is more likely to be once mRNA vaccine and a second one 6 months later. Source: family member is a chief scientist at a few drug discovery startups. Most people will have a durable immune response with the schedule above.

No affiliation with Aztec, but it's absurd to lump them in the same bucket as Shiba.

Aztec has been in development since 2017, and has solved some real problems in cryptography in order to accomplish their goals. Besides, it doesn't have its own token, so there's nothing to pump.

It does the opposite, since it's a rollup - the transactions happen off-chain.

I know this isn't what you asked, but making your own F-Droid repo is relatively straightforward, and since your release process already cooks apks for every release, using the tooling to then push them into a repo would likely not be a lot of additional work, once you've gotten the underlying f-droid repo tooling setup

That process is driven by https://pypi.org/project/fdroidserver/ and then it just needs a local "config.py", keypair, and I use rsync --delete to publish to my repo. You can create a QR code for folks to add the repo which includes the URL and the public-key that signs items in the repo. The gory details are on their website: https://f-droid.org/docs/Setup_an_F-Droid_App_Repo/ and on Mac and Linux (with Linuxbrew) you can "brew install fdroidserver" although that might not work in GitHub Actions
It's not a law, it's who handles the request. There's two types of employees in any company with very different KPIs. The first has their performance measured in number of tickets closed. The second has their performance measured in number of incidents allowed. Support tickets get handled by the first type of employee, anything that's plausibly a legal threat gets handled by the second.

The easiest way to close a ticket is a quick wontfix. The easiest way to avoid a possible six-figure minimum legal issue is to spend 15 minutes figuring out what they want and giving it to them. The law is almost entirely irrelevant; the cost-benefit analysis doesn't change enough when comparing a frivolous vs meritorious lawsuit.

> - Don't send to addresses where you have not contacted them or had any interaction at all for > 1 year. If you haven't kept in touch with your customers, then that is on you.

That seems odd though. "Keeping in touch" in regular intervals is exactly the kind of thing customers may want to unsubscribe from, so a working unsubscribe function means there are customers where I cannot keep in touch. How is that on me? That means I can't send e.g. a password reset email to them if they try to log in two years later?
In a perfect world a agree with this. But the power this gives governments is so great that I don't see how it wouldn't end up abused.

In the analogue days "wire tapping" regulated it's self because of the manual nature, and a warrant attempted to ensure enough evidence was required to actually target an individual.

With digital communications the same thing can be done leaving almost no trace against an entire population.

Governments have a LONG way to go to prove that "three letter agencies" won't abuse a system that is setup to provide legal wire taps for digital communications.
Right, the interesting thing is that the people here literally do not have a choice.

In non-pandemic times, HK people live like people in any other city; they usually don't work where they live, and often times they don't necessarily do all their shopping there either, because people like variety. (Although with how crazy the real estate was getting in Hong Kong, I remember each visit that it seemed like each mall was slowly turning into the same chains and whatnot in every one.)

One way to look at it then is that we have dealt with similar issues before and survived.
Mail may also be simply going to the completely wrong address, for some reason, and there needs to be some way to ask that this be corrected without requiring credentials that the recipient might not have. If not an unsubscribe link, then at least a reply-to address that actually works, or some way to handle a mistake.

I had one email address that for some reason often ended up being mistakenly used for other people, and ended up enormously frustrated by the usual combinations of no unsubscribe links, no-reply senders, and notes that any changes should be made by logging in. In the worst case, the US Department of Education, for several years, sent the address private personal and financial details about a complete stranger at a university with student loans. There was no way for me to unsubscribe, and no monitored address to reply to: in their view, they were important emails for the recipient, and they were, but I was not the intended recipient at all.
A very interesting and nuanced article. Wildfires aren't actually increasing, but they're changing, in non-intuitive ways.
None that protects decline in cognition, that seems to be common. With habitual use.
The problem with relying on math for logic training, is that many (perhaps even most) students find mathematical concepts far too abstract and intangible to apply those lessons to other situations.

Coding, on the other hand, is basically just English and is easy to conceptualize: if this happens, then do this. It's not necessary to know the abstract concepts of the low level environment to be able to apply the high level logic patterns to real life situations. I personally think this makes coding far more effective at leveling up problem solving skills.

You didn't mention the risk of other people getting it from you. Each shot has lessened that risk considerably. That alone can be worth it - it only takes so many generations (person passing to person) for one person's infection to cause a death in another.
Hmm - I might be missing something, but I think we are in agreement? I was just making a point that laws need equal enforcement to be just, regardless of jurisdiction. The Seattle mention was just to provide an example of a law being unequally enforced. I also agree that GFM may make different decisions for different locations to comply with the local laws, and also agree that protests should not displace the use of infrastructure like roads.
Doesn't make sense to study in simulation something that we hardly understand in actuality, unless we were to study colonization techniques for a huge range of parameters. At that point, it's not a fun game.

Also I have to point out that I don't know if SpaceX is going to build a city. I do think their mission is to build lift and launch capacity, but not to actually build cities.

> they were all working towards breeding flavor back into tomatoes

This surprised me. Every year my FIL plants a little green house full of tomatoes and they taste delicious, much much better than the ones you buy at a store. Much more fleshy and flavorful. All he uses are seeds from the gardening store.

So what are they developing I wonder, tomatoes that develop flavor even in the industrialized high speed growth environment they make them in now?
how would you pronounce it differently? elongate the a?
I think I just found my cofounder.
How do you do that, exactly?

English has barely any words with "aa", so you can't differentiate the vowel in a normal way.

There's no standard way to exaggerate a vowel that would work either. The closest I can think of would be an extra-long pronunciation or sticking a glottal stop in to make it sound like two vowels, but those would both be confusing and sound too unlike a real word.

And no matter what you do it's going to sound like hippo.

No, they aren't. This tactic isn't effective when you've truly pissed off the other party. If it could plausibly be an innocent mistake, this strategy will cheaply and quickly get things resolved.
JS is not that easy to embed in scripting though for trivial situations. After seeing a couple of jq examples I can run `jq '.foo[] | {bar, baz}' without really "learning" its DSL. But doing the same with node? That would be much larger.

From a comment below from the other side of the equation it sounds like the email in question WAS indeed marketing for a lifetime promotion.

People should have every right to unsubscribe themselves from that, and thus should have some sort of feedback loop attached to the email being sent (to the detriment of your bottom line I fully understand and sympathize with).

If this was indeed a marketing email, then I don't think it matters if it comes from a "legitimate, paid service" - the receiver still should be able to choose if they want to receive sales related emails wouldn't you agree?
But AT&T is being paid or has an agreement to operate the recipients' mailboxes.

TOS are gonna TOS, but if the small print reserves the right to block spam, or traffic from spammers, then proof of not being a spammer, or at least proof of a legitimate use, might create an obligation ATT has to its users to not block those addresses, even if there's no obligation to the 3rd party making the request.

The knowledge affects ATT's obligations to others, not the requestor.

Idk where that gets you in a practical sense, but its at least a line of reasoning that's beyond "ATT can block whatever it wants".
I had a similar experience learning to send, but learning to copy is significantly more difficult. I can probably send at 20 WPM or more, but only copy (listen) around 10 WPM.

About 6-8 years ago, all major credit card companies in US has the virtual CC service: BoA, Citi, Chase, you name it. Passing one period, they all started to shut down the service, saving Citi.

I don't know why Citi still has this service, and seems to keep developing it (it used to be a Flash page, and since Flash is out commissioned, they rewrote the whole service into HTML).

So if you are in US, get a Citi CC or something like privacy.com.

My main issue is one big US company which has history of engaging in monopolistic practces. They blocked a huge range of Linode IP space in December/January including one of my servers which has a totally clean record, supports every industry standard and is only used by my immediate family. It is guilt by association but blocking email because someone lives in the wrong neighborhood isn't a civil rights violation unfortunately.

When a very big company blocks nearly all email from another company that they compete with in hosting services I think it should be investigated as a possible abuse of market power by the EU and DOJ. I think there are important questions to be asked about the damage this does to competition and consumer choice.

I wouldn't worry about UCEPROTECT listing. They have an option to pay to remove IPs which to me looks like a protection racket. If anyone blocks solely on the basis of those lists instead of taking signals from more respectable block lists they are only hurting their own customers by blocking legitimate email.

I have multiple servers at multiple providers for various things so it is relatively trivial for me to add a rule to a transport map and have my server securely login into another machine to relay the email to a misbehaving receiver. But that requires slightly more than minimal knowledge and many people are pushed towards a small number of gatekeepers who will ultimately be purchased by a cartel of mega companies and nobody will know how to run a mail server anymore. Which is a shame because it really isn't very hard or very technical. What makes it tedious is the behaviour of some companies. The technical workaround to a block is as easy as routing email via another IP and takes a few minutes.

But then there is the process of getting the original IP unblocked, sometimes via multiple processes in businesses with a single owner, seemingly none of them knowing what the others or even their own tech people are doing. And/or swapping out the IP for one in a clean block.
The goal is to reduce common usage ; to make all which use encryption a criminal.

I haven't worked at Adobe, but I have worked at other places with somewhat similar subscription policies, and I highly, highly doubt they would send it to collections:

1. There is an extremely low chance they would collect anything anyway, so it's not worth it to them.

2. If someone actually challenged their collection, there is a good chance, of it went that far, that the judicial system would find this type of agreement invalid given the dark patterns involved.

Basically, what Adobe and other companies are trying to do with these onerous auto-renewal and ridiculous early termination fees is just to make more money from people (a) forgetting to term their subscriptions and (b) not wanting to go through the hassle of fighting the early termination fee.
