This I agree with.

I cringed when my co-workers talked about “fly-over” country, but I was equally shocked when Hillary Clinton lost.

As much as I hate to say it, Trump getting elected (wrong person, but gets a point across) shows the system sort of works.

All climate projections are models without full information over a long period of time. He is correct about that. The issue is that he isn't proving the opposite, he doesn't have any proof that increased CO2 levels will cause minimal problems over the long run.

True, it does not make sense to invade Ukraine second time. And hopefully Russia will not invade.

We will see.

Ukraine will not be allowed to join NATO due to disputed territories anyway.

As a Pole, after full blown invasion on Ukraine, I would support increase in military spending beyond current goal of 2.5%.

I also think that Sweden and Finland would join NATO relatively soon after invasion. After 2014 annexation of Crimea support for NATO grew there some 20-30%. Sweden is rattled enough to deploy symbolic military presence to Gotland. Joining NATO is part of political discussion in Finland, but they are on the edge.

Russia would only lose on war with Ukraine.
I don't think the question of whether a place is 'in' the US comes down to any notion of whether its regional governing authority is subordinate to or a federal constituent of the national government of the United States. If you want to dispute that as a basis, then people born in DC, or on Indian land, aren't born in the United States.

People born in Puerto Rico are born in US territory, subject only to US sovereign laws, with a natural right to US citizenship, and no equivalent right to citizenship of any other sovereign country. There aren't many more cut-and-dried definitions of being born 'in the US' than that.

Remember, this article is trying to answer the question 'where were US citizens who live in particular parts of the US born?'[1].

To that question, for Texas resident American Ted Cruz, for example, we would answer 'Canada' - he counts as one of the Texans who were born outside the US, regardless of his citizenship status at birth. I personally naturalized later, but I also count myself among Americans who were born outside the US. Ted and I have that in common, if nothing else.

But Puerto Ricans who were born in Puerto Rico when it was part of the United States - i.e., any time after 1897 - were not born outside the US, so counting a Puerto Rican-born American who lives in Florida as born 'overseas' seems like a flat error to me.

[1] well, technically it's not completely clear that it's only counting US Citizens who are resident in a given state, because it is actually a survey of census data and, rather famously, the census does not actually ask you if you are a US citizen - it counts residents (and don't forget that the resident population of the US is not made up solely of 'citizens' and 'illegal immigrants'; residents also include a vast number of noncitizen resident legal immigrants). I mean, the headline claims it's a count of where 'Americans' were born, which I guess Canadians and Brazilians might dispute...
I don't understand why you think it's up to the government whether or not we have encryption. The software is already widespread, there's nothing they can do about it. They either accept it or they increase their own tyranny by violating their own people's rights, actively underminding the security of their own citizens or passing insane laws such as "you're presumed guilty if you use encryption".

I don't really care that they want to "tap into" communications in order to fight crime or whatever. As far as I'm concerned, they're not supposed to be able to do that under any circumstances and for any reason. Any attempt to do so is abuse.
This has become bad enough that operators of personal mail servers are put into no-win situations and generally give up.

Either we can concede defeat and relay personal correspondence email through a commercial service or we can just accept that some recipients will not receive our emails.

I've adopted the latter stance because I don't operate a business that uses my personal mail server and therefore have the luxury of not caring a whole lot. My stance is that if a recipient is using an email service that blocks me for no good reason, they don't want to receive my email. They can complain to their service provider if they choose to. In a few cases, I've asked them to complain to their service provider and have seen some minor corrective action. But that's pretty rare.

My gut feeling is that GFM wanted to keep their tips, and this was a "good" way of doing so.

Imagine if I ran a nationwide poll asking if you’d ever had a felony conviction.

This is hilarious. Social conservatives invented cancel culture and used their influence to control the media we watched until very recently. Does no one remember the Dixie Chicks being made irrelevant because they critiqued Bush? No what happened is that the population is no longer majority conservative and the tools employed by them are now under the control of social liberals and they (you) can’t stand it.

Nice try though pretending history starts at some arbitrary line you can then use to critique. Conservatives are just getting a taste of their own medicine.
Oh, I'm always taking notes whether work or business. I have notes that go back to 2005 on my home computer dealing with rental payments, college transcripts, gas payments and bills when calling up 1800 numbers for support, etc. It isn't that I don't trust my memory, it is just that if I am being pressured to do something it is a lot easier when I can look at the outcome/promise from the previous conversation.
Literally three comments up is someone claiming “Democrat” and “Communist” are synonyms.
Some issues of course with this position (as I was thinking it through).

- this basically means no one has any IP right to stop information being distributed at all. So if someone say writes a book, then is later embarrassed by it, they couldn’t stop people from publishing it. They currently can.

- this means highly valuable IP (source code to your secret search engine backend?) is very difficult to control. It would also probably apply to things like manufacturing howtos, blueprints, etc.

- Even if you say ‘distributed’ means publicly viewed, this probably impacts distributed/licensed software in various ways, and some of these others. If someone is able to open it in a hex editor that is certainly going to count as ‘viewable’. If they can do that without signing an NDA (which would probably be impacted by this too?), or going through a gate and doing it at your secure facility, that probably counts as ‘public’ too.

- so then there is no way to stop someone else from distributing your now deprecated software? Potentially for a fee?

Bdelloid rotifers over 20K years old have been revived and propagated, and these are actual animals, so we know that in the case of creatures capable of cryptobiosis, there's enough high quality DNA after 20K to sustain life.

To reach cryptobiosis involves packing the interior of cells with materials and reducing metabolism tremendously (I suspect there is still some tiny residual activity, barely measureable), and probably also some repair enzymes for the inevitable strand breaks.

This is a complaint about "UCEPROTECT Blacklist Policy LEVEL 3" [0]

It's description is not subtle:

> This blacklist has been created for HARDLINERS. It can, and probably will cause collateral damage to innocent users when used to block email.

So if the mailsystem you are trying to reach employs it, is either experiencing spam levels that justify it's use - OR they made a mistake in using it, if this is the sole reason you are being banned.

The first order of business is of course to complain to your hosting provider. Nobody wants spammers on their networks - but if they do: then this is kind of exactly the reason for this list. The policy describes in detail what made it possible for this netblock to end up on the list, that should be enough for them to take action either pre-emptively or by notifying their offending customer, and if neccessary kicking them off the network.

The next thing you can do, instead of paying for whitelisting, ist to contact the mailserver-admin at system you are trying to deliver mail to. This can be a bit of a hassle - seeing that your mailserver just got blocked - but it usually works. The same way systems don't want to receive SPAM they also don't want to overblock, after all they want their users to receive emails as well. If you are the mail admin of a sending system and you're reaching out to the receiving system this is usually a pretty good indicator that you don't want to spam them.

I have had success doing this even at some larger ISPs, where you would expect this to be more difficult.

I very much enjoy these blocklists - simple, transparent. Loads better than the kafkaesk black holes that are the major mail providers who barely care, and who do not give you easy recourse if you are mistakenly blocked.

Google Chrome U2F API decommission: What the change means
You could get a mesh wifi network, like Plume pods. They actively monitor the wifi environment, change frequencies, and pick which node to send from based on signal strength and interference. Even better if you can run Ethernet to the pods so they don't have to find additional open channels for backhaul.
No, not at all. They may not be communicating well enough with the word "annual", which people clearly don't seem to grasp, and perhaps they should use "Yearly".

The one thing I found frustrating when I cancelled after a year is the relatively short window of time you have to actually cancel; well, that and the slightly tiresome retention process I was dropped into -- would you like a free month instead? two months? (I half expected to be offered a kitten).

But generally Adobe think you want this software for the longer term, not for a month, and economically they would be hosed if people could just use, say, InDesign for a couple of months, since a lot of InDesign tasks are annual tasks (brochures, reports, catalogues).
not an expert, but maybe try analyzing the network? with stuff like wireshark?

That's a (very legitimate and important) reason to do double opt-in unilaterally for all email communications. Companies should make 100% sure that the person who signed up, and the person receiving the email, are the same person, before they associate the email with the account. Otherwise, malicious people can sign up arbitrary third parties for tons of random crap.

But it's not a good reason for adding unsubscribe links unilaterally to all email communications.

Remember, unsub links are machine-automatable; Gmail at least offers to follow any embedded unsubscribe links for you if you mark a message as spam. (Which, with hotkeys enabled, is one accidental keypress away.)

So consider the extreme case: what if the user fat-fingers an unsubscribe (without realizing) to their local electric company's e-invoices, which is what they've been relying on to prod them to log onto the site and pay the bill?

If it's clear that "bills you need to react to or your power will be shut off" shouldn't have an unsubscribe link, then clearly there's some sort of line that must be drawn somewhere.

(Note, I'm not arguing against the use of "Manage your Mail Preferences" links in these cases — the kind that act as magic sign-in links and take you directly to a page on which you can un-check a "mail me about X" checkbox. It makes sense to include those. I'm just arguing specifically against unilaterally including "Unsubscribe" links — the kind where following the link unsubscribes you with no further confirmation needed.)
In your analogy, you are forgetting that the US Intelligence community is the boy who cried wolf, so nobody will believe you even if he does have a card up his sleeve.

Interesting. This tracks with my experiences too, but is there a good source for this that I can reference in the future?

I got out of hosting email last year entirely because of intractable deliverability problems with the big three: Google, Microsoft, and Comcast. Comcast's issues mostly appeared intermittent and the result of incompetence. Google and Microsoft have clearly been competing to see who can kill small email service providers the fastest.
