> I do not know why you mention Windows, i never referred to any specific platform

Because this is already a solved problem on all popular platforms aside from Windows.

Plus others earlier in this discussion singled Windows out too (likely for the same reason I cited above).

> Linux does not actually have what you describe because Linux is a kernel and what you describe is something that would live on the userland - the userland heavily relies on what software is installed

It’s pretty normal for people to talk about Linux as a computing platform. You know this yourself so making the “it’s just a kernel” argument is next level pedantry.

> and many setups, like mine, do not have such a thing

I’d put money on you having one installed and not even realising it (eg gnome-keyring, which is a dependency for many desktop applications even without having gnome installed)

> What i refer is how to provide a more secure approach to to THE SAME THING that people are already doing with clipboard copy/paste without breaking the versatility of the clipboard

I understood what your approach was. The issue isn’t that I don’t understand it. The issue is that you are unwilling to accept the last 20 years of development in this field.

I mean have you never even used password management in Firefox / Chrome? Avoiding the need of clipboard for sharing secrets is a security and usability feature. Your solution is terrible in comparison and this is precisely why browsers have integrated password stores.

> What you refer to is having a different workflow, have applications add explicit support for the specific data mentioned and be accessed in a different way and up to the last reply you were referring to permanent storage.

Your solution was to add a new API. You stated that explicitly. You then said users should authorise which applications have authority to use that API, that’s a new workflow too. The standard approach (ie that way the industry works, this isn’t something I’ve just made up) allows applications to communicate directly to your secrets store. This doesn’t add a new workflow, it removes an existing one entirely.

Plus you still need to copy your passwords from somewhere to use your API so why bother with it in the first place? It’s literally just adding in a process for the sake of it. Except that process is insecure, a usability nightmare and contradicts decades of established solutions in this precise domain.

The fact that you’re refusing to even look into this concept is astonishing tbh

> am just not referring to the same stuff you do.

indeed, your stubbornly clinging onto a terrible idea and rejecting decades of industry best practices.

The idea you’re proposing has already been superseded by years of research and development towards much better solutions. And you can install them right now if you wanted. I’m not making this shit up.
So it's impossible to take a matched pair of UV resins and make a pair of lenses to construct an apochromat, which you can do with glass?

I'd argue it's not so much about whether you're introverted or extroverted. In a place like this, it seems like you have plenty of opportunity to be around others, or be alone (though, the article makes it sound like sometimes even alone time can be interrupted by intruding neighbors).

This is more about handling mostly indoor life vs. outdoor life, which impacts other aspects of wellbeing vs. socialization/introversion/extroversion.

> Are you saying that your skepticism is justified now because you were right 3 years ago?

I'm saying it doesn't make sense to make generalizations based on anomalous figures.

> Yes, depreciation is non-linear. Used car lifetimes are also shorter, so used car purchase expenditure averages out to a higher per year percent of the purchase price than with a new car.

Right, that's what "non-linear" refers to here. A car that's already 20% of the way through its lifetime has already depreciated by 50%. So you only pay 50% but get 80% of the miles.
Very cool. I'd be very curious see if there are similar effects from basic meditation and/or from very advanced meditation in yogic or Buddhist traditions.
This really sounds like some ancient Forbidden City where you had no recourse against the emperor's decrees unless you bribed some court eunuch to get you a hearing.

Google et al. are feudalism reborn. Including the pressure to turn surviving yeomen into vassals (see, e.g. e-mail deliverability).

> Whittier, including its hospital, school and city government, functions within one self-sufficient structure

The story is not so much about a big building, but rather about an isolated town that exists inside only one building. Do these condo compounds with 8000 flats include the hospital, schools, city government, general store, post office, etc?
Early in its life Facebook Engineering marketed React as "you probably don't know what you're doing with the DOM and incurring all sorts of performance issues with your hand-written Backbone View code, let React do that for you". In truth, you only need a vDOM with a component interface once your view code passes a certain threshold of complexity, but it just gets used everywhere, and for the simplest things, as the go-to solution.
Did anyone really expect it would last?

It's a Google project.
It would really just take sleeping on your back with head to the left, and head to the right. This approach works for sinus drainage as well.

So many people cannot/do not sleep on their back, though.
IANAL but if you agreed to a fixed term contract you can't just inform the other party that you are leaving early. You need to use an exit clause within the contract or somehow invalidate it. (For example by saying that you didn't knowingly enter into a 1 year contract.)
Postal, as a backstop. The cost is a feature.

Network-specific messaging tools are another option. I strongly prefer open protocols.

The concept that anyone anywhere can intrude on anyone anywhere else at no financial or reputational cost is ultimately flawed. It works only so long as those with that access are few in number, generally of mutual interest, and act in a largely principled manner.

As numbers increase, and levels of interest and level of principles fall, the system will collapse.

Usenet was the first such network to fall to this dynamic. Email is well on its way. Telephony is into its first years of general intolerability (any direct-dialed universal access, wired or otherwise). Facebook faces this threat less through its lack of filters than the defection of high-affinity users.

Postal mail has its own issues with quality, but the associated costs do in fact impose a minimum bar to malicious content.
While I am sure this is not really a "dark" pattern, Adobe's subscription terms definitely discouraged me from subscription software generally. As soon as Affinity Photo was stable in beta (March/April 2015 time) I cancelled my Photoshop Plan subscription at the first opportunity.
Well you don't get the refund at all if you try to cancel less than 24 hours out. As technical users, you and I both know there is no technical reason for this. None. It's designed to catch users off guard, plain and simple.

There's also this (emphasis mine): "3 months free. Apple TV+ is included for three months when you purchase an Apple device and redeem the offer within 90 days"[0].

What does included mean in this context to you? It means included in the purchase of the device. Right? As in, we are giving you a bonus incentive over and above what you would normally get.

Sorry, no. If you cancel or decline autorenewal, nothing is in fact "included". It's a deception. It's conditionally included.

Sure, it's all covered in the fine print, and everybody is doing it but come on. Apple is engaging in dirty trick after dirty trick.

For the record, I use Apple devices exclusively and happily pay for many services (including AppleTV+) but this stuff still needs to be called out.
Yeah definitely, I had heard that hd650s paired with a nice amp were about as good as you could get for under 3-4K wasn’t sure if anything made it to market that’s been really revolutionary. Really my problem is music discovery. Spotify doesn’t really do it for me, it just finds more of the same and never invites me to branch out.
Async Rust.

It separates Rust ecosystem.

Can’t be replaced because your code is either async from the beginning, or not. You are using either async libs, or some outdated libs because all modern versions have to support async Rust.
DRF isn't necessarily complex, you can still use its generic views.
They should not have the right to do whatever they want on their servers if those servers are storing other people’s data. Who would ever agree to such a thing? Yet we see so many people say it and some even allow it.
If you do some googling you can find forum posts on how to do it manually, though I've not tried it myself
My personal experience with UCEPROTECT was that they had blacklisted 2 or 3 IPs in my /24 that were not routed to anything, nor had they ever been routed to anything, a fresh new block from RIPE NCC too.

Of course they offered to unblacklist them in exchange for payment, or wait.

Waited 2 weeks and they dropped off. I've yet to hear about anyone using their DNSBL for anything serious in 2020/2021/2022

I only knew about the listings
because a monitoring service emailed me about it.
Ambulance-chaser tier press release from the lawyer.
They weren't obligated to continue to collect money on their behalf, but once they started collecting that money, they are obligated to handle it responsibly. They do not get to decide to withhold money unilaterally and give it to other charities (as GoFundMe has stated they intend to do).

A telephone company can't decide to give me a phone number then tell me who I can or cannot call. My ISP cannot tell me which websites I can or cannot access (without a court order). If GoFundMe allowed the convoy to open a charity drive, they cannot unilaterally close it and confiscate the money.
Yes, either you pay for a subscription or you once pay for a specific version and have to pay again if you want to use a later version. You can’t both, that is, you pay once and get upgrades indefinitely. Even developers have to eat.
It's simple.

Censorship is to imitate the Roman Censors.

I see that you've tried to turn it into your smurf word for "being controlled," and that since you know you're wrong, you're pre-loading with "in practice"

Why? Because it's not like it in practice either, but "in practice" it's like what you want it to mean, and that's where you'll try to draw the metaphor from

To be censored is to be told that you cannot publish something at all

No, it does not mean "you cannot publish it here." You can still go publish somewhere else? Not censored.

The Food Network doesn't want to publish your physics thesis? You're not censored.

Facebook doesn't want your love letter to Nazis? (oh who are we kidding, of course they do.) But that's not censorship either.

YouTube wants to take down your anti-vax stuff? Still not censored.

UK Government says Starship Troopers cannot be published? Oh. Well that's actual censorship.

This isn't challenging, nobody's learning from your struggle, and you're boring the adults.

Stop.
Yeah for what I use my Macs for, no I don’t really care about machine state. Other people might.
> they were going to redirect donations intended for Canadian protesters to other (likely left leaning) causes

Per the article you linked, donors have two weeks to request a refund, and any remaining funds will be redirected to causes chosen by the Freedom Convoy organizers:

> Donors have until Feb. 19 to ask for a refund, and the rest of the money the group raised would be allocated to “credible and established charities” chosen by Freedom Convoy organizers, the site said.

There are certain substances that 'chelate' those heavy metals. You can get tests that detect the amount of heavy metal in your body (not in your mind -- Metallica will still be lodged in your brain).

I think garlic is a natural chelation substance.

I learned about this via http://GrossmanWellness.Com/ (not a commercial, just a satisfied patient)
Definitely a limitation, though I'd imagine we will see a Bridge/DAM type product before we see a specifically Lightroom-type product.

Perhaps we'll see a Lightroom-type persona in Photo and integrations with some sort of DAM.
Maybe you can charge annually for this, so it's more than $9. I don't mind if PayPal costs as much for chargebacks.
Would you say the goal of the setup is to deceive the user into paying for a much longer term than they would agree to if they knew?

To me, two things stand out. 1) The fact that they have a "monthly price billed anually" could only be used for deception. Either you bill monthly or annually. Telling me how much per month is not helpful, it's deceptive. That's the billing scheme in my head. I am thinking of monthly billing. 2) The fact that they will charge you 50% of the full term no matter how soon after you cancel. The subscription is automatic and has near 0 marginal cost to Adobe. Clearly, the goal is to suck money from the pockets of people who either didn't find the software useful after all or didn't even intend to buy a full year.

Together, I see a clear intent to deceive with the goal of financial gain. Fraud. The fact that you can know what you are signing up for is immaterial. They could and would make it clearer if the goal wasn't to deceive, and they wouldn't charge you 50% on cancellation if the goal wasn't to profit off of people who mistakenly paid for more than they need.
If you want something more professional you can look to the Affinity products which have a very reasonable one time fee:

https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/

I personally like Affinity Designer and have designed quite a few things with it. They are behind illustrator on features, I can't deny that, but I've been able to find answers to everything I needed.

Also they have solid developers working on the app. Check out this technical explanation of performance improvements to their rendering pipleline:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnfxzknVK_0

For a photoshop replacement, however, I would say Krita hands down. Again, its not as polished as photoshop, but I prefer it over Photoshop at this point even with all its rough edges. I really need to make a video or something about how to set it up and use it correctly but I think its got a lot more going for it.
Any relation with ShouldIAnswer (https://www.shouldianswer.com/), which is also a peer reviewed/maintained DB of bad phone numbers?

ShouldIAnswer is probably more oriented toward end users but maybe both projects can still benefit from each others?
I'm pro vaccine but the mandates and access cards and testing requirements makes me sick to my stomach
For me it’s Azure DevOps.

We’re required to use it for the project I’m working on.

Some things I hate:

* Project backlog is a mess UI-wise. Lots of fields, with little to no explanation of what they drive. Generally a bad UI for working with stories.

* Reviewing large pull requests is very laggy performance-wise.

* Compare branches is broken - I have to start to create a PR, then cancel it, if I just want to compare two branches.

* Release pipeline (not build pipeline) does not allow yaml definition, so you are expected to configure it by point and click, true to form for Microsoft.

* Logging in - I have to bookmark it because there doesn’t seem to be a good direct URL to navigate directly to my repo (as opposed to like a GitHub repo for example). Also the confusing branding with “Azure” probably contributes to this as well.

There are probably more things, but these are some that come to mind right away.
Others have already highlighted that you can be vaccinated and anti-mandate, which is what many people are focusing on.

From a numbers perspective, 91.54% of Canadians 18+ have received at least one dose. 88.91% of 18+ have received two.

It's /possible/ that truckers are widely unvaccinated (perhaps they all subscribe to the same train of thought), but it's unlikely.
Maybe, maybe not. As pointed out elsewhere in the thread, what does "E2EE" really even mean when your device already finks you out for whatever the government tells Apple to look for in the black box you're running on their behalf? Either way, you can speculate on the intentions and future plans of a megacorp all you'd like. I got out from under their thumbs.
The downside of machine learning in health care
You don’t seem to understand what a free market is. It isn’t without rules it just means the barrier to entry is even for all.
Google Workspace is expensive: $6/mo for 30GB. Microsoft will give you 1TB plus the Microsoft Office apps (plus email) for that price. If you have a family of 6 with a custom domain, Google is going to charge you $36/mo while Microsoft will charge you $8.33/mo - plus each person gets 1TB of storage and the Microsoft Office apps.

I think the reason to switch is that Google decided to use the same pricing that they want to get out of enterprises for individuals/families. Sure, $6/user is nothing to a company that is paying that worker $5,000+ per month, but it can be annoying for a family (even if it's still relatively affordable). But then you have to think about whether you want to pay $12/user to upgrade their storage making it $72/mo for a family of 6. And you still don't get the Microsoft Office apps. They aren't strictly necessary in a lot of situations, but they're still pretty commonly used.

It just seems like Google isn't offering great value for individuals and other companies offer something better. In a certain way, it feels like Google is charging $6/user/mo just for the custom domain. With Microsoft 365, it at least feels like you're getting something above a standard account with the Microsoft Office apps and 1TB of storage.
first submission by a new account, guessing from a throwaway behind tor so that the question can't be tied back to a specific person or company.

That's why it's useful for a handful of people to have showdead enabled: so that good questions or comments lost to antispam/antitroll filters can be fished out from the abyss.

As for questions like "Were you able to sell w/o board approval," I feel like this depends on the terms of the agreement, no? I mean I'm keen on hearing the data for the sake of having a dataset, but the question itself doesn't seem to be immediately relevant unless the person answering the question happens to work at the same company as the person asking the question.
I can’t post the specific child’s picture as it wasn’t posted publicly and I wouldn’t want to disrespect them, but here’s some examples of less severe hydrocephalus you’ll see often in spina bifida parenting groups [0] [1]. Often people don’t comment on ones like that as everyone wants to get along but if it’s left untreated it can eventually progress to be much more severe and cause debilitating headaches and mental retardation. Interestingly, in googling this apparently low pressure cerebrospinal fluid headaches are also a thing [2], so keeping just the right amount of cerebrospinal fluid draining is a must.

I haven't personally, but I know people that have. The people that I know that sold shares used Equity Zen (https://equityzen.com/). The company I worked for has/had a "first right of refusal" option in the equity contracts, which basically means that when EquityZen offers you a deal, you have to bring the deal to your company and they can decide to buy your shares for the same price instead of letting you sell your shares to an outside party (which they might not want).
I have no idea if JR is intentionally deceptive, or merely deluded. I think that kind of stuff is often something of a grey area anyhow; I mean part of being able to convince people of things is to be able to come up with a narrative that sounds convincing to yourself. It's perfectly plausible to me, at least, that he's convinced himself of things that aren't reasonable, that he may at one point have doubted, but now thinks are at least plausible because he's so embedded himself and his persona in the notion that alternative explanations must be reasonable. In any case, whether confused, delusional, honestly misinformed, intentionally exaggerating, intentionally misleading - or some combination thereof - he can still be deceiving his listeners.

As to an agenda: he has clear monetary and reputational motives for coming up with controversial guests and perspectives. People _like_ acquiring followers, and he's even being paid to do so. There's no need for anything as crude as an outright payment by some snake-oil salesperson to cause a conflict of interest, fame and fortune are quite he incentives by themselves - and here too, people can convince themselves they're onto something (and do so entirely honestly!) when they get this kind of positive feedback - even if it's nonsense.

If you believe that Joe's motives are any more pure than those of mainstream-media hosts, you're wearing rose-tinted glasses. Also, he is a mainstream media host. He's just a deceptive one, that's all. If anything, most mainstream media hosts have _fewer_ incentives to lie; after all, they tend not to simultaneously be media owners nor to rake in quite as much cash as he does, though surely there are exceptions. Also, the mere fact that other media tends to involve a much greater back-office makes it slightly harder to go off the deep end - your colleagues may sometimes say things to burst your (potentially honest) self-deceptive bubble.
>I don't really understand why anyone who claims to be a proponent of a free market economy has an issue with a private corporation deciding what type of content they want to broadcast.

It's amazing how people don't get cognitive dissonance over this disingenuous song and dance. The people lauding the choice of private companies to operate as they please when they deplatform are the very people pressuring private companies to deplatform people they don't like in the first place. If you were genuinely in favor of private companies operating as they see fit, you wouldn't feel motivated to pressure them to drop content you don't like.

>What Spotify chooses to do with it is completely up to them

What we don't like is that is it not left "up to them" what to do with their content. The point of the free market is that individuals are left to act independently in their own interests. This ideal is undermined when groups create pressure to deplatform or pull content.

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said that Covid-19 vaccines are no longer effective at preventing transmission of the virus.

"...what they can’t do anymore is prevent transmission. So if you're going home to somebody who has not been vaccinated, somebody who can't get vaccinated... I would suggest you wear a mask in a public indoor setting,"
You can still use the Gmail UI with a custom domain for free. All you need is a mail server. Once it's set up, configure a free Gmail account to fetch your email with IMAP and send from your domain with SMTP. Now you own your email but still get the Gmail UI as long as you want to use it, for free, with the option to use any other client you want as well.
That's a more difficult problem compared to DNA repair, crew rotation, or material erosion.
