I wish I knew. I have a user google keeps blocking for spam (not even marking, outright blocking) while at the same time their reporting tool say the user doesn't send enough e-mail to google for any data to be displayed (the user's domain generates less than ten e-mails per day, many/most of which not to google).
>Get your legal department involved. We have repeatedly been taken off various public and private blacklists by having lawyers do their job.

What's the particular law that makes those curators of blacklists pay attention to your company's lawyers? Do you have example text of those legal requests?
I'm not a physicist I just watched the NASA video explaining that the instruments will need an active cooling system called the cryocooler that cools the stuff below what it can achieve in the vacuum of space on its own.
>Anyway a "free" trial that asks for your cc number is obviously not free. Better to stay away of those to be on the safe side.

A few years ago I signed up for a "free" Audible trial and later forgot about it. They rolled it over into a paid subscription somehow and charged me money despite never giving them my card details in the signup process. I believe what happened is it got linked to my Amazon account and charged the card connected to that.

They refunded me after I contacted them but I didn't get the entire amount back.
> haven't had to prove a single thing

Even in your jurisdiction, you may soon have to. From the linked article, you can infer that you got lucky - your attempt to cash out might have been stopped by an exchange, if you did it a little later or with a little dirtier coins.

> and if I had really wanted to I could have traded into fiat via direct trades using sites like localbitcoin.com or similar

Good luck meeting random strangers and trading BTC for cash with them safely AND anonymously. You're lucky if you get even one of those two.

> Guilty until proven innocent is an untenable practice

Tell that to financial crimes investigators, whatever they're called where you live. As I said, they don't mess around. They're not reasonable. The price for operating in the legal economy is that you have to be able to account for your assets. The exchanges don't do this because they want to, but because they have money laundering cops breathing down their necks - and you will too, if you're silly enough to try to cash out significant amounts through localbitcoin or similar.
I must be the only person here who doesn't already know about these trucking protests; I'm having trouble establishing the basic facts of what is in dispute. Who exactly is required to be vaccinated?

It seems like the fraction of truckers who engaged in cross-border trucking with the US were subject to a Canadian federal vaccination mandate, which applied to some workers in the transportation sector as well as many federal workers, but this requirement was dropped a couple of weeks ago for cross border trucking.[1]

Are the truckers still protesting even though the requirement for cross border truckers to be vaccinated was dropped? Do they have some further demand?

Is anyone here able to kindly cite a (non-editorial) journalistic source which summarizes these events?

I'm not sure I follow your opinion here. In what way did anybody advocate preventing competition?
Now put a thousand of those JSON objects in a list, invoking jo for every element.
I'm pretty sure it is. I believe the technical term is "Misrepresentation". I don't think it would be an easy fight but it seems that you could try to make an argument that they represented the contract as monthly. There are also examples of ToS being declared invalid because no reasonable person read them, this sounds similar where no one is actually reading the fine print.

While this case may be hard I'm pretty sure it isn't "never". For example if you are buying a subscription to a software suite and they sneak into the contract "You also give us your house" that isn't going to fly, even if you signed it.
Do you have evidence of destruction caused by the protesters? I am interested in seeing it. All video I have seen is completely peaceful.
I’m constantly surprised Monero’s market cap isn’t higher. It works better for all the use cases of crypto that genuinely add value, yet has a small fraction of the value of many coins that are used for nothing at all.

Super low end Arduino or a PIC board, or something equivalent in power.

But the Raspberry Pi has the advantage of a lot of computer power, and a full set of programming tools, which is nice.
It depends on what your experience is with. If you've done any digital painting, you're probably all too familiar with low-opacity strokes seeming to never add up to full opacity, and will have concluded the opacities are not simply added together.
Couldn’t you make the free trial useful enough to show off the product, yet _incomplete_ in such a way that continually making new accounts is not viable?

An example.. a marketing mail app where the trial only allows you to mail 1 or 2 campaigns with a max of 5 email addresses (recipients) for each. In that scenario you’d see the full capability of the product but couldn’t use it for a full email campaign. Creating more accounts wouldn’t help you game the trial.

I think not taking people’s CC is important.
That's a different problem. They should have first sent a confirmation email, then paused all communications until it was confirmed.

But once the email is confirmed, I think it's totally fair for a company like rsync to say 'if you're a paying customer of this service, then we need to send you certain information to fulfill our obligations in the contract, if you truly don't like it cancel your account and take your business elsewhere.'
Email has basically been taken over by Microsoft and Google. They set the rules and decides who can is blacklisted. Although to me, email has become increasingly less relevant, to a point where I only check it once a week or so.

If people can't understand 'annual plan' then I'm not sure what it's reasonable to do? How can you conduct business with a person who can't understand language like that?
If you compare to Monero, you see that Monero isn't even allowed on these exchanges. So, it seems that you can't really have privacy combined with high exchange liquidity.
I know all about that. I was questioning the claim that this protest has done all the same things.

Race is a protected class. Vaccination status is not unless you have a document medical reason.
In other words, it's nothing alike.
Great to see this post on HN front page. Joshua is a technical inspirational guy. I was lucky to meet him several times when he organised meet-ups in Apeldoorn. The problem mentioned is typical for most self employed engineers. Creating a sustainable business requires many years of dedication to just one idea imho. It’s never about the software that is part of the product. But it’s all about the problem your product solves for your customers. Creating a sustainable businesses based on an innovative software product is still not a hard scientific science. But using Problem Solving Methods (PSMs) is key for solving complex problems like creating a viable business. See e.g. https://www.bm-support.org/problem-solving-methods/ for some approaches.

I was trying to figure out how much public funding got and ran across this article about some reporting on npr’s reporting: https://www.newsweek.com/where-does-npr-get-its-funding-call...

Which in retrospect makes NPR look petty, partisan and disinterested in actual investigative journalism. But the article also says that they receive “minimal” public funding (4% of their operating budget)
While I agree that it seems children are very low risk you have to remember they are partly lower because of the precautions taken(lockdowns, mandates, vaccines, masks, fear, etc). We don't know the "normal" death rate for Covid just yet.

We just recently switched from a self hosted email server to one of the services (smtp.com, smtp2go, etc.) We gave up the fight.
This is one of the most hyperbolic claims.

Overthrow the government in this case means publicly and commit to repealing mandates, and set up a citizen group to review policy.

Similar requests of governments happen every year in western countries. There are citizen oversight groups set up for failing school districts, police departments, and the environment.

None of these Re overthrowing the government

No, they didn't. This is false.

That you don't personally believe the actual reason they did this to be relevant is itself irrelevant.

> What? The value is the same.

Nope. It's impossible to cash out a tainted bitcoin since it cannot be deposited at exchanges. Its value is essentially zero.

> How's 1 BTC is not fungible [to another BTC] unless you're wanna hide your bitcoin transaction history?

Every bitcoin can be distinguished by its transaction history. If you try to use a mixing service, that fact will be known and the resulting bitcoins will be tainted. Exchanges will assume they are laundered funds.
I think you're trying to use two wrongs to make a right. If we're talking about things Gulf Power of Florida should do differently, then rather than add unsubscribe buttons to bills which is a bad idea, they should confirm people's email addresses before sending them email.
Squelching small players is the intent. Large institutions are easy to exert political control over. It's hard to exert political control over masses of individuals. It benefits the Republican party when you get your news from FOX. It benefits the Democratic party when you get your news from CNN. It does not benefit the Democratic or Republican party when any individual can broadcast their views to millions of willing listeners on a platform like Youtube. This is why you only ever hear about "misinformation" coming from small time players. When CNN/FOX et al. do it (which is constantly), they get a free pass. Both parties share an interest in monopolizing information flow to their followers, which is why they both support this law.

Except that Rogan's program isn't about "unpopular ideas" or "inconvenient facts". Let alone "challenging prevailing orthodoxy". If you seriously think Rogan's content falls in that category - then you'd probably say the same for the kind of pronouncements made by the Flat Earth Society as well.

I feel that the word has fallen out of favor due to its usage in media. It means someone is either an operative for a foreign government, or Nedry from Jurassic Park. Neither is particularly flattering.

While they can technically accept money without being a fed member, they must keep that money with a fed member.

They need to keep money (printed by the fed) with a bank controlled by the fed. If you don’t see why that is a centralized system then not sure there’s much to discuss.

It’s distinct from reserve requirement, which doesn’t force you to store your money with a member of a single organization.
I never thought of it that way. I wonder what the article's author thinks about Ethereum's privacy.
For me, the problem isn't the paywalls, I can easily devtools my way around those. The problem is that the "accurate news" has gone completely off the deep end. Since around 2013, the traditional news sources, NPR included, have decided to adopt a highly race-based viewpoint, obsessively injecting race into every conceivable topic. Feel free to take a look at the charts, it's indisputable fact: https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2019/06/th...

It wasn't always like this - I remember a time when the internet was a far more peaceful place, before all this crap started getting shoveled in peoples faces. The polarization since 2013, and Trump, is a direct result of this change in my view. Only god knows what the hell happened to these organizations, but until they hold back on the ridiculous race bait, the political divide will only get worse and worse.

Ok, but you have the same thing with gold or any other "fungible" asset that will be traced to you if you don't take measures to obfuscate the trace.

Gold has a real world trace that can be found out by simply asking intermediaries and numerous other means, Bitcoin has a digital trace, it's not that different.

It's very difficult to make sure that the history of where that gold you got came from and to whom you sold it to is 100% erased.

It's not overblown all across America where the omicron wave did once again force ICU to capacity and cause the cancellation of non-emergency care across the country.

Herd immunity by vaccination is the only way to protect society without requiring infection, which fills hospitals and leads to deaths. Vaccination means you're about 40x less likely to be hospitalized or die, which saves our health system. Do you honestly believe there should be more discussion of infection immunity as a solution, when it results in 40X more hospitalization and death? I've seen anti-vaxxers call public health officials "genociders" for decisions far less death-causing than that.

If you think the vaccine mandate is why this convoy happened, instead of conservative fake news creating vast conspiracy theories from the "NWO" to "Q-ANON", funded by conservatives billionaires and the governments of multiple countries, to help destabilize and bring down the west, then to each their own. But how many Americans are among them? How many fans do they have abroad? It's not about Canadian mandates, it's about the global right wing conspiracy movement.

But I do not believe that the vaccine anti-mandate stuff is anything more than todays convenient whip for the very powerful forces of conservative media control to use to continue their war after Trump lost. Just another issue politicized for convenience, as until conservative media flipped the switch, vaccine hesitancy was almost entirely left-wing. Even in America anti-vaccination attitudes on the right did not start until post-election and post-vaccine rollout, and there's a large group of vaccinated conservatives who regret it because now it's seen as a mistake in that ideology.

FastMail doesn't have tags. What it does have? Let me copy/paste my comment from another thread:

They have subdomain addressing, which is kind of like plus addressing, but better (not all places let you sign up with plus addressing).

I've got my own domain, for example: mydomain.com. So my fastmail email address is depingus@mydomain.com. But with subdomain addressing, I can sign up for services with unique email addresses that look like:

social.hackernews@depingus.mydomain.com

I don't have to set up this alias ahead of time. Fastmail will automatically route incoming messages arriving to this email address to my "social" folder. If I start getting junk to that address I can easily blacklist it.

It wasn't easy switching out my email address EVERYWHERE. And there are places that won't even let me change it. But in the end, it was so worth it. I don't even miss Google Inbox anymore!
I neither believe it is truthful to call it "occupying the nations capitol" nor am I surprised that GFM won't fund it.

Regardless, your response was a non-sequitur. You really need to deal with what I actually said.

To help you along, I also wouldn't be surprised for a charity to redirect 100% of its income to its executives. But that wouldn't mean I would say it was fine for them to do that, even though the reason I gave the money was for clean wells in Africa. That's what you're defending.
You can always login and re-enable an email on the service. The service is allowed to request information needed to process the unsubscribe.

I get emails for some dude's Chevy when it needs servicing. I can't unsubscribe. I am stuck getting emails about a car I have never owned from some dealer in Pittsburg. I need an opt out that lets me communocate "hey, some dumbass fatfingered his email, stop spamming me."
It was lawful. The case is already resolved and it was the degree of force and how it was used that became the problem. Morality was never part of this discussion.

> "What is an authority for someone is a criminal for another (see certain regimes)"

What does this have to do with air travel? This person isn't fighting tyranny, they're being asked to leave a plane. The authority is the same for everyone that participates in that state, airport and aircraft.

> "the airline is not an authority under the law"

No, but it can call authorities just like you can call the police when required. Also airports and aircraft do operate under different rules for security.

> "you have made 25 flamewar comments in this thread"

My comments are not "flamewar" because you disagree with them. I've always posted civilly in the face of very harsh and rude replies and will continue the discussion as long as I want. I advise you leave the moderation to the admins here.
I wholeheartedly agree with your sentiment but I don't think this will hold up in case of account deletions or bans.

Let say your 'attention', using the service, is used to pay for 'goods', account/ access to service.

How is the revenue derived fron 'attention'? By the attention being spent on preselected content, e.g. ads, that are choosen by the platform. One could argue that revoking access to a service from the platform side is okay since the attention is not being 'spent' after the removal or ban.

It might be feasible to expect that services, like an email account, are not taken away abitrarly but 'just because it's profitable' is not a sound argument. Making yourself dependent on a platform is not the problem of the platform.
Neat. A prototype arcology.
I apologize for both incidents and will try to maintain respect and provide more thoughtful comments in the future.
Using "dir" on the Windows command line can do a simple search. It is on every Windows machine and easy to use. It is not the fastest but it can be useful. Amazing how few people know how to use it. Just type "help dir" from the Windows command line.
When you're playing online games, MMOs for example, you still incur the cost of latency to the server, games tend to hide that in various ways.

Google servers are much closer if not in the same datacenter as the game servers... network latency between them is negligible

So, (local input -> network delay -> reply / do graphics locally) == (local input -> network delay -> remote processing -> reply with h264 video). As such it's not going to affect things as much as local steam play which also works pretty well on local lan.

The proper number of spaces seems to me to be dependent upon the font size. Smaller font, more spaces.

In the olden days, with fixed width fonts on an 80x24 terminal, I think I read somewhere that 3 spaces was optimal (fewest bugs); but that programmers have an aversion to non-multiples of 2. That is why you see 2- or 4-spaces, but not 3. (I think...)
