Like other physical security measures (tall fences, razor wire, bars on windows, steel doors) it’s a sign that you are in a low-trust, high-crime environment.

If in fact you are, then those things are important, but most Americans don’t want to think of their local communities this way and resent developments that reify such a perception. Especially when it comes to children. We really don’t like young children being cognizant of evils and threats and other such “adult” concerns. Innocence is important.
I think the most infuriating thing about "growing up" and becoming an adult is that obvious problems you think should simply be fixed without any particular ideological emphasis end up becoming bogged down by people who know the least about a problem(and, in my view, the kind of people least likely to be experts on anything) trying to make sure the solution conforms to their uninformed world views.

How do you know the long term effects?
Ok so what about lockdowns then?
As I understand it, the convoy was sparked by a decree that truckers crossing the US/Canada border would have to either be vaccinated or go into 14 days of quarantine. The latter would effectively take away the livelihood of anyone whose job involved doing that frequently. I don't think it's very useful to argue that taking away someone's livelihood isn't "force", or to argue that people are just "choosing" to lose their livelihood. Sure it's not physical force but it's a pretty extreme level of coercion, and it's perfectly easy to understand both why people in that position would turn to their democratic right to protest, and also why a whole lot of vaccinated and pro-vaccine people would support them.
Yeah, that's not how precedent works. Precedent is used to justify the means, not to point out that past actions had the same or similar ends.
> It's unethical to publish content that promotes white supremacists

I dont understand how you can come to that conclusion. eg A doctor saving the life of a white supremacist.

Ethics are differentiated by profession. It is not altigether clear, which ethical considerations Spotify is bound by and apply to this situation.
I'm completely unsympathetic (or rather hostile) to the protests, but I find it shocking that there's any legal framework under which Gofundme could shut down the page, seize all of the donations, and force people to basically file paperwork to get them back. There's something deeply asymmetrical in the way we treat white-collar crime as opposed to street crime.

It's bizarre that they even though they could get away with that in such a high-profile situation; I suppose they thought that they could rely on the hostility of people like me to passively take the side of the woke corporation against normal people.
Spam has largely been a solved problem for decades IME. You don't need some big-data-crunching mega-mail-host to block it successfully. For my personal mail, I use a small provider that isn't configured to block anything automatically and the built-in tools in my mail software. For my businesses, we have a pretty standard SpamAssassin-style setup. Either way, I see hardly any spam in my inbox despite receiving mail to multiple published contact addresses for those businesses, and I also can't remember the last time a false positive resulted in missing a legitimate mail.

Meanwhile I've seen people miss events because $BIG_MAIL_PROVIDER decided the invitation was spam, I've seen recruitment go wrong because a CV from an excellent candidate was blocked on its way to the designated email address for applications, and countless other examples where bad spam blocking was throwing baby out with bathwater.
> Why isn't computer programming a major part of the arts?

Are you trying to prove a negative? That sounds futile.

In what respect and what contexts do you find this true?

I only ask because it hasn't been my experience. I've been tuned into (for decades) the programmatic art scene. (I have a Fine Art Bachelor's degree IN Computer Art back from 1998)
In response to the earlier variant of your comment

> Is there any point at which those people with reasonable views who aren’t associated with the BLM organization might .. not chant their slogan repeatedly to establish and reenforce that association?

Doubt it. Onlookers, skeptics, critics and right wing publications have the choice of being just as nuanced and choose not to, in favor of honing in on the mostly ignorable BLM organization. The people with the BLM bumper stickers and BLM posters in their windows are ignoring followers of right wing publications at this point and also aren't paying attention to the BLM organization of the same name.

If you want to know whats happening you have to understand the different way any of this is perceived at all. Its not even opposite, its completely different.

Moving email accounts to new providers?
Is there a way that any providers use, a standardised way, to create a lot of new email accounts.

I'm moving a few domains' email accounts from one supplier (Siteground, their recurring fees are huge) to another (Fastmail, or maybe Office 365, [ProtonMail only allow multi-domains on their expensive professional account]) but I'm not looking forward to moving about 20-50 accounts, per domain, from one email system to another [the domains are staying put, web hosting is being handled separately, just the email accounts are moving].

Is there an easier way? Do any providers support it?

I'm not relishing manually setting up even just a handful of domains with lists of redirects and mailboxes for all my family members and the couple of small businesses I've been managing. If I decide a month down the line it's not working, it seems a lot to go through to move all the "domains" again (i.e. setup email accounts at another provider that use my domains and have named email addresses -- eg person.1@example.com, person.one@example.com, nickname1@example.com, ... etc., and then all those for example2.com, example3.com, example4.com, each set of email addresses going to a single person).

There seems to be a lot of lock-in because of the difficulty of moving email accounts. Am I doing it wrong? Should I just relent and try and use catch-alls and filter it client side? Any advice?
Marriage is still the main way for women to get rich: study (2019)
Yea, I find when I seem to be the most plagued by it is when I want to control how other people are feeling (and also behaving as a result). I fear that if I publish a thing, people may feel confused or angry or sometimes worse: indifferent. But also that someone will feel so smitten and overjoyed that they come to me saying that I'm a god or a superhero/savior. I can sometimes deeply fear people feeling things that I don't want them to feel, and more so, responding in ways I don't want them to.

I think a lot of it comes down to uncertainty: I don't know what will happen and I want to know what will happen. I don't know if people will love me, hate me, or ignore me, and if so, how they'll do it, and so much of that uncertainty can drive me into trying to control as much as I can (or think I can).

For me, perfectionism seems to lie in that fear of the unknown and trying to mitigate as much (read: squash/eliminate) of the uncertainty instead of recognizing that we're human beings and so many things are outside of our control.

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

I think you’re deliberately ignoring the entire point that the article is making. The fact is that tainted transactions are becoming a thing as exchanges realize that they need to do something about addressing theft and fraud.

It’s not even about your own transaction history. Assets acquired illegally, including Bitcoin, and and will be seized even after they change hands several times.

Unless you mined the Bitcoin yourself (not through a pool, literally generates the block yourself) then it has a history attached that involves other people.

The only thing that goes for Ethereum is the fact that it's used for creating worthless numerous other pump and dump crypto currencies on top of its blockchain where Shiba Inu is the latest glorious example. Solves nothing, serves no purpose but increases the demand for Ethereum transactions which ultimately drives the cost of Ethereum. All those poor sods who have invested in Shiba Inu? Plain idiots to put it mildly.

Oh, and NFTs as well. Another worthless crap just to create more Ethereum transactions. Why worthless? Because ... Ethereum is just one of multiple crypto currencies/block chains and tell me again why your particular NFT on top of Ethereum is worth more than the same object on another blockchain? And how many times can the same object be (re)sold on all other blockchains? Do you need to own all of them? Or Ethereum NFT is somehow better?
Your comment already spoke volumes. Remember when conservatives used to talk about choices having consequences? Funny how they they don’t seem to like that concept when it’s inconvenient for them.

This really scares the shit out of me, because I have chronic insomnia, and I am aware of the effect of sleep on not just how my brain feels - but also my vision and eye-lids (being SUPER heavy even when my mind is racing....)

I know how important sleep is to brain function, clearly...

And it causes ADDITIONAL anxiety, snowballing into more insomnia...

Fucking sucks.
Okay, you’ve defined forced elsewhere:

“That is not being forced. That is called choice. Choices have consequences.”

That’s literally forced but in an nonviolent matter. Kind of like how people can be correctly be called “forced” to file tax returns in the US.

They are forced, stop playing word games.

To equate giving all of the funds to other charities and not allowing any of it to be used for its given purpose with giving the rest of the money after its intended purpose has been met is... well, not right.

Like, consider a non-profit that you want to support its vision. Most of the money goes to its mission, the rest pays its execs. They decide to use 100% of it for the execs. According to your argument, that's just fine.
> If you think GFM planned to “steal” the money, you clearly have no clue that the organizer’s plan called for excess funds to be given to charities.

So Gofundme gets to turn all the funds into "excess" funds?
Ask HN: Super slow network preferences pane on M1 Mac
Hey, are y'all also seeing a super slow network preferences on Mac?

This computer is super speedy but this pane seems to have slowed down. I have been waiting on it for like 5 seconds every time I bring it up while it goes from `<<Localizable.string>>` to my network. What is going on??

To add to the confusion and pane—my iPhone is so fast to pick up on my new network `TP_Link_Extender` while my Mac has yet to react. Would love to speed it up.

> ICU's filling up way over capacity and hundreds of thousands of people dropping dead that normally wouldn't

This claim is mostly overblown at this point. It was a legitimate concern early on, but it hasn't been true for some time.

The vaccine claims are also misleading. Herd immunity by vaccination is not the only way to protect society, and the distinct lack of discussion or recognition of immunity from infection is conspicuous. COVID's infection fatality rate for certain cohorts is low enough that vaccination isn't strictly needed, and arguably taking a different tack on this could potentially have saved far more lives.

For instance, consider if we had only isolated and vaccinated those at greatest risk of death and complications from COVID (40 and older, immunocompromised, comorbidities), and then shipped the remaining vaccine supply to the third world to suppress the emergence of variants. We might not have had Delta or Omicron at all. It's not at all clear that this would not have saved more people in the long run.

Beating this vaccine mandate drum is blinding people to other rational solutions. It's not going to end well. This convoy is probably only the beginning.
What if it’s $4 for three months and then $12 in perpetuity, with no commitment.
This makes sense for the core operating system applications. It doesn't make sense for end user applications. If I install a web browser or a game I expect it to be kept evergreen. The way Debian handle their updates is barely marginally better than sending Windows installation wizards around. What's the point of an automatic update system if they insist on limiting themselves to the occasional security patch and not release feature updates if you don't upgrade your entire OS? The update policy needs a revamp.
If you don't have a card that allows that, you can also buy a prepaid card, though I believe such cards may have distinctive numbers and it's possible a vendor may disallow.
Choices do have consequences, but that does not mean those consequences are just, or that someone can just say those are the consequences take-it-or-suffer.
The definition of success in his terms is insane I think. The bar is set so high. I would consider my side project a success if I get a ugly version running a basic thing that I designed it to do!

Your only taking away someone’s livelihood if being an unvaccinated trucker is their only option. The vast majority of jobs in Canada do not require a vaccine. Choices have consequences.

Mandatory school vaccinations, mandatory military vaccinations, mandatory drug testing in many jobs, etc. Why did no one lose their minds over those things?

> There’s no regulation for what happens when Google or Facebook or whatever deletes or blocks an account and provides no support.

Yes there is, per the trade regulations you're entitled to a refund

.

Wait

I'm only partly sarcastic. If you think you're entitled to anything provided as a free service then the problem starts there. Do I miss the days when ISPs provided email as part of your subscription? Then made you pay for anything over 100 Mb? Then held your email address hostage if you wanted to switch providers? Hell no. But I also don't think government should force anyone to provide services to me for free.

Edit: downvotes without replies do not help me understand where this feeling of entitlement to a free service comes from; insight would be appreciated.

The only currently realistic way to acquire cryptocurrency or for non-tech people to use it is through a 3rd party broker. It's about as difficult as running your own SMTP server I'd say.

Blame your ISP, or hosting provider. As an email admin, I deal every-single-day with phishing and malware that comes through email. There is not a single hosting company that does anything more than pass complaints onto the spammer - thus verifying that I'm a good target and causing even more of a problem.

While I do not use any blacklists, I do make my own. I've found that blocking individual IPs is useless, there is always another one. However, if I block the entire IP range I have much more success.

This is your hosting company's fault for allowing spamming and doing nothing about it.
Are you implying that existence of these tax-exempt organizations and politicization of issues is a good thing?

I don't see anything positive in tax breaks and tax code complexity in general as it is a method to obfuscate spendings and evade taxes, which creates all kinds of unintended consequences.
Play Chess in Your Terminal
This vaccine uses a different technology than all previous vaccines. It bears almost nothing in common technologically with previous vaccines.

As such extra skepticism is permissible.
Everything you need to know about Amazon, on one sentence:

After Carrie Goldberg, a lawyer for Ms. Scott, wrote to Amazon’s general counsel and implored the company to remove the product from its platform, lawyers for Amazon pointed out a Texas law and court decisions protecting the seller of a legal product used in a suicide.
My point is this: If you have a vaccine its inherently non-political, its just a medical intervention. But when it becomes mandated now you introduce a process by which some people can decide for some other people what must be done. That is politics.
I flagged this, because this is the most toxic ”discussion” I’ve ever seen on HN.
