This seems to be way overstating whatever role Apple played in this. Tumblr debuted before the iPhone and continues even today to work perfectly fine in a browser. It's just a stream of text and images, effectively exactly what a browser was designed for. I'm sure they'd love the greater access to privacy invading hardware features they can get from a native app, but it hardly seems critical to their continue existence as a product. Also, the estimated drop in user traffic after the adult content ban was 30%. When Tumblr was purchased by Yahoo, they paid $1.1 billion. When Verizon sold it to Wordpress, it was for $3 million. They is way more than a 30% value drop. It seems pretty damn likely to me that Tumblr has just always been somewhat of a niche community compared to the larger social platforms out there and Yahoo overpaid dramatically because Yahoo was one of the stupidest big tech parent companies to ever acquire other companies, and the failure to ever realize that hoped for value had little to do with whether iPhone users could consume through a native app or had to use the browser.
You're right. Thinking "people create problems for themselves" is egoistical, most people are not educated to see beyond ads, the ones who are, most don't care. The deepest problem with such behavior is that this influences industry to simply kill any support to less common options and such group of users (which probably include we two) won't get any support from major vendors.

Consumer protection laws are not only important even for those who don't care about them. They are important specially because there are so many people who don't care about them.
I've been doing this since 2013 and the only spam I ever get is from the one email I put on my websites.

Spam filters are so good that the spam never sees my inbox (I use RunBox.com email because of their extreme privacy).

The only downside: I have to keep this domain FOREVER. If I sell it, and someone else connects it to a mail service, they will have access to all of my email addresses.
Agreed, minus the headphones. Their headphone reviews are a joke. It's also worth noting some products have a lot of variation due to poor QC (PC monitors) and they may get an unusually good/bad unit from time to time, skewing the review.
> not May, the 5th (but it does happen)

The only time I see this is in the UK is on movie posters/trailer, e.g. "In cinemas May 5th", which I assume is due to re-using the US material.

PS: 5th of May is a degenerate example, since it's 05/05 regardless of ordering

PPS: 5th of May is also my birthday ;)
So simply using a program as it was designed is, "asking too much?"

At that point you can't blame the devs or anyone else involved except the users.
A lot of the fun from live streaming is directly interacting with the streamer in chat. 30s-1m variable (I presume this is HLS torrenting?) latency would dash all the fun.

Its possible you dont know what state means. But the US has plenty of mass warrants that require companies to keep logs even in the presence of promises that they dont. In fact, they are obligated not to reveal that they are now keeping logs. Warrants supercede contract.
> NFS is also more tolerant to breaking and resuming the TCP connection; this is fatal to sshfs.

Except when...

- The kernel driver crashes, resulting in unkillable processes and orphaned, mounted files that, if accessed, result in those very processes also being unresponsive and unkillable. The solution? Reboot your machine.

- There is packet loss on the network which can greatly compromise the stability of the NFS client. The solution? Don't have packet loss.

- The RPC daemon somehow goes out of lockstep with the kernel, causing hanging and crashes. The solution? Don't let the RPC daemon get out of lockstep --- somehow.

- You foolishly misconfigure the mount options, causing NFS to hang or time out if there's even a minor issue. Woe betide you if you muck up the timeout, retrans, etc. flags. The solution? Know the arcana and all your needs ahead of time, or be prepared for days of debugging.

NFS sure is convenient and useful, but it's also terrible and antiquated.
What understand from German copyright law at least, it is equally important to actually have damages(at least that is what a FOSS specialized company lawyer explained to me based on some ordinary court cases). That means it might be easier if you have dual licence (and successfully sold it) and can prove that someone did not pay the regular licence fee, so you can be eligible to double the fee. I guess if the money at stake is big enough you find a lawyer. However I guess the case needs to be clear enough because the legal fees will go up as well for failure, I guess.
> The nuance is that you're just moving the problem. You're not private from Mullvad. You're just trading one ISP for a different one.

Another way of saying that is that you've gained a choice. Most people have essentially one option for an ISP, but _many_ for VPNs.

> So why even allow "traditional" KYC-ridden payments at all?

To allow user choice. Many probably don't really care about that aspect and just want to bypass region-locks.
Almost all of these review sites, not understanding the physics involved, believe a HEPA filter sieves particles down to a size of 0.3 microns, which implies that anything smaller passes on through.

This is utterly false. HEPA filters are measured at the efficiency of what’s known as the MPP (the Most Penetrating Particle size). It’s the hardest particle size to capture as it can get by the two methods used to capture large particles (impaction), and smaller particles (diffusion).

Considering almost none of the air in a room is passing through the filter at a given moment, the efficiency of the filter is less important than how much air it moves through the filter media per minute, which IKEA have favoured here.

Essentially this filter performs close to par with more expensive units, while using less energy, and having dramatically lower costs for filter replacements when due.

What they don’t do is give reviewers either kickbacks or basic physics lessons.

If there's ever been a case for building a parallel agency, it's environmental investigations.
Looking at the contents of, well, pretty much any app store invites a question: is this incredible volume of software that we have actually useful?
Lexical – a web text editor framework that powers Facebook
An SSO provider costs a couple of dollars. To integrate one is less than 100 lines of code. That is not 10$.
I don't build websites with infinite scroll or enough data that would justify it nor attract enough visitors to punish a t2.micro, so I have no first hand experience with any of that.

However, curiosity requires that I ask what/how/why does any of that affect mobile-first web deployment in away that it is not addressed when a large chunk of that mobile use is broken? If you program yourself into a dead end, back up and take another turn.

Oh, it is easier in a mobile native where you get the benefit of hoovering up personal data on all of your users? Gee, let's not expend effort to make something work universally, let's instead take the easy route and make money on the side too. The fact that losing this large share of users because of one type of content is not enough of a decision to go the other route shows just how much money there is in the hoovering of data.

Still putting the blame on Tumblr.
I wonder if we can ever have a centralized review site that also has the subject matter expertise in each area. The future of in-depth and unbiased reviews is distributed and perhaps there is a dire need to collect all the scattered reviews on a central platform. Like a sub stack of product reviews.
I now run a MERV 16 furnace filter (yes, my aprilair system explicitly supports it, no I will not hurt my furnace) for central air filtration alongside two box-fan filters (the easy slap on the back kind - I think I'm using something equivalent to MERV 13 on the back, can't go higher for the size) around the house and a quiet regular air-filter in our room.

All of my wives problems related to allergies or breathing have gone completely away. Guests comment at how good/clean our house smells. Stuff takes longer to mold when its left out. 10/10 would recommend.
The obvious solution is to pay everyone when they reach the achievement levels, not just the people who fell behind and then caught up.

Having worked with kids before: Kids and young people will game the hell out of any incentive structure put in front of them with terrifying efficiency. If anyone gets the idea that they can make some money by falling behind and then catching up later, a significant number of students will start falling behind so then can execute whatever catch-up maneuvers get them their payout.

So sidestep the issue completely and pay everyone when they reach the achievement threshold.
Compared to a dedicated air purifier, a box fan one is louder, has higher energy consumption, and is uglier (I suppose the last one is subjective).

If it's something you only use a couple days a year when your region is on fire, then absolutely go with the design with lower upfront costs. But if you're running it 24/7, it's worth thinking about the extra 40-80 watts that a box fan uses.

For me, I figure the electricity difference comes out to around $100/yr so getting a dedicated air purifier has paid for itself (although I live in an area with fairly expensive electricity). It also has some nice bonuses compared to a box fan like auto adjusting speeds and a prefilter that hopefully helps the "real" filter last longer.
Ah, thanks for the explanation. But isn't this more or less what I describe still, other than people leaving on their own rather than being forced out?

Like, without going into too tricky political discussions, it seems like being physically present on the land gives you some form of title to it. And if the Palestinians/Arabs hadn't left, it would be much more difficult to run the Israeli state. They would have the right to vote, and so they might've voted e.g. against the Hebrew language or for autonomy.

Likewise, if Israel ended up collapsing somehow and Palestine taking over, then they would presumably realize that, well, the sooner these people are not here anymore, the less of a claim to an Israeli state can there possibly be.

If so, I don't see what it has to do with corruption, because it's just a basic fact of countries - one guy has to win and the other one thus loses, and it's a zero-sum game.

The way I see it, even if all of these countries were run like Switzerland, everyone involved would still quickly understand it's very definitively in their material interests to manage the other guys as quick as possible.

What's the way out of this conundrum?
ServeTheHome does some review-like stuff, but its not entirely detailed though they do actually run the hardware and measure things like noise, power, etc.
In what way does either of these cures prevent any analysis?

But the problem is that there's a difference between "okay" and "shit". They indeed won't make money if they recommend shit that gets returned, but a lot of products can be "okay" enough for people to keep around even if there are better products out there (that the review site doesn't recommend because the "okay" product provides better kickbacks). The standing desk situation is actually a very good example of that - the hassle of shipping and assembly means that once you've received it you are unlikely to ship it back unless it's absolutely bad despite other models being even better.

Frankly, for "okay" products, most of us don't need review websites. Even with the shit-show that Amazon reviews are it's usually easy enough to tell an outright bad product. The purpose of a review website (as a consumer) would be to find the absolute best product possible out of a sea of mostly "okay" ones.
Are you suggesting that we should beat our kids so that they won't beat their kids?
A bit of soap works, doesn't it? I'll spare you the details on how a somewhat over-aged sausage leads to colourful underwear but a soap block and some water do wonders even in that case.
Thank you. I'm using sshfs every day to remotely access my computer and servers from my laptop. Although it's slow, it works. I'm considering to switch to NFS instead.
1) I think your opinion here is 3-4 years out of date. Check out the modern interfaces.

2) at a bank's scale it should not be using the console for anything in production.
The tooth cleaning is much the same as what happens on the yearly cleaning your insurance pays for (and highly recommends you do). Is that one also "basically useless"? How much study does one need to judge if mechanical dental tartar removal is beneficial?
Be aware, at least Nord clearly does something different with their client than with the OpenVPN files they provide ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21664692 ). When I dug into this, I found similar cases with other major VPN providers, but my notes are sufficiently out of date, they shouldn't be trusted anymore.

Sometimes the differences are subtle, sometimes they're rather complex like this case. Personally, sketchy stuff like this is why I've moved all of my VPN use to a personal cloud instance running WireGuard.
Yes, I found that omission very glaring.
You forgot the last conspiracy reason which I always read in comments like this:

4) It is probably state funded and run by the CIA.
> Luxembourg went to totally free public transportation. Bus, train, light rail. Total game-changer. More countries should do this.

It's a "country" with 630K relatively wealthy, educated, trustworthy people. You can do a lot of things if your "country" meets that criteria.

Few do.
A dentist once told me that it's worse for my teeth to sip a soda or a coffee slowly over several hours than to chug it all at once. I wonder if it was suggested because patients might actually do that, compared to not drinking soda or coffee at all.

(I might drink coffee slightly faster than I used to. I do not drink soda. I'm fine with stains but not unnecessary tooth decay.)
site:reddit.com works and I use it often. But I do wonder how long it will be until reddit starts to get gamed as well (if it isn't already).
Thank you for the reminder! Based on my (very) limited knowledge, OAuth2 can still be used for so-called "pseudo-authentication" [1]. I'm not saying it is as good as SAML/OIDC, but those technologies are a major pain to implement and support for a small team. Pseudo-authentication seems like a good "bang for the buck" tradeoff. A more refined version of my question might be, "Is pseudo-authentication good enough to get past most security teams until you can scale up to SAML/OIDC?" I'm sure it likely isn't good enough for highly regulated industries (or Fortune 100 companies) that have prescriptive compliance regulations, but maybe it is good enough to get going in less rigid circumstances?

Other than the DoS attempts the sibling mentioned, the symmetric Gigabit on a home connection varies depending on congestion, and NAT mapping could change changing your IP causing the whole Livestream session to renegotiate.
The last paragraph is key. It’s a long term investment. There are companies that are run democratically, they typically grow slowly, but are more stable.
Mullvad is based in Sweden, they seem to be privacy friendlier in general (even allowing sites like sci-hub on their TLD)
The mushrooms in question have (roughly) 2.24g of protein per 100g[0]. Recommended daily protein for an adult man is 54g [1]. That leaves you needing to eat 2.4 kg of mushrooms every day just to achieve the protein requirements.

As a comparison, you can achieve the same protein with 450g of egg[2] or tofu[3], or 200g of beef[4].

It's been a trope among Republicans that Democrats primarily win through fraudulent means for years. Trump was accusing Hillary Clinton, the DNC and "liberal media" of trying to steal it from him back in in 2016. Republicans claimed ACORN stole the election for Obama (along with the Birther thing.) Bob Dole accused the "liberal media" of stealing the election for Bill Clinton.

Also, this is the state with a pro-insurrection senator that sued another state for voting for Biden. The last four years have definitely been a hard shift right for what was already a solidly right-wing state.
Anyone ever run across anything like this with a simple syntax that can do a timeline with split AND merges? I've always wanted something like the linux timeline [1] as an interactive timeline that can both split and merge.

My pockets got better after I started using a WaterPik with a special attachment called the "Pik Pocket". I use warm water with a little splash of hydrogen peroxide and irrigate them all.

In my state, annual automobile safety inspections are required. I have always been suspicious of this because naturally the auto shop doing the inspection offers to repair any flaws they discover. In most cases, the safety issues are obvious (thin tire treads, worn brakes, rust damage) so if you have a little bit of understanding you can verify the shop's claims and seek repairs elsewhere if the cost is too high.

Mushrooms become a Superfood if you set them in direct sunlight for an afternoon, preferably gilles side up, to let them produce Vitamin D at large quantities.
They get the same result but they're not the same.

Your brain can hold 1 brain state. But it gets the same results as a universe-dwarfing lookup table.
I like that idea. But because of the way these chemicals get everywhere, we need pretty much everyone on board. That won’t change unless we change incentives and negative externalities are felt by the actors that decide to use the chemicals. How do we do that? Same question for nuclear war, fossil fuels, and any other tragedy of the commons type situation.
Weight loss is simply calories in - calories out. If she walked an hour a day and ate the same amount, she was burning around ~300 extra calories a day.

Pretty sure her daily walks did contribute significantly to her weight loss.
I disagree.

See, if I'd say that I'm an idiot for not realizing someone is trash (or some stronger expletive) - yes, that would be ironic, but all the irony would be in the invisible quotes around the "idiot", with none around the "trash". A totally opposite effect.

And the author talks about "Google" programmers in a clearly derogatory manner. It is not just in the title (which would've been okay on its own because it uses "idiot" for both sides).
CNN Underscored is trying to be a competitor with legit reviews, as I understand it, but it still feels a little "affiliaty," if you will. (Disclaimer: I work for CNN Digital).

Some air travel may be essential to civilization, most of it isn't. We don't really have a way to determine which is which on a societal level. The best we can do is price in the externalities (and deal with income disparity, but that's an orthogonal issue).
This is a straw man argument. Blog posts like this leave a bad taste in my mouth because of how transparently misleading they are.

Almost every SaaS business I’ve run into allows you to SSO with providers like Google, Office365, Slack, and other common sources of identity.

If your company is paying for SAML through Okta, you can afford enterprise pricing.

The way I know is Okta’s UX is horrible and only enterprise scale companies would inflict that upon their employees.
No what I’m saying is that there’s some whale using the service and he looks likely to get liquidated, so the guys running the service have unilaterally stepped in and changed the rules to prevent that whale from doing what they’re doing. So it turns out that the guys running the service had veto power all along, which begs the question what the DAO is even doing other than providing a veil of legitimacy.
Who were the other two?
s/he said they keep "I keep a big powerful purifier in the kitchen which I turn on as needed" down in conclusion section;i wonder what that is?
The PNG example is a case of a well-established standard limiting what you can do - basically, improvement is only possible by breaking compatibility.

But this is not the case for the vast majority of slow software. Nor is there any equivalent problem there. It really is, as the article describes, a case of devs not caring to put the time because the users tolerate the status quo.

How come taking a shit is like taking a poop across the pond?
I've noticed an increasing reticence from senior programmers I know to have anything to do with DevOps. They see it as an aggravation they don't want in their lives. Somebody posted a little while back about it being easy to find consulting work in DevOps with relatively little skill, especially AWS pricing, specifically because devs at companies aren't putting in the time to learn AWS properly.

Has anybody else noticed the same? Or am I way off base?
It's funny to read this knowing the author is a billionaire (or maybe a little under with the recent crypto crash). I guess he is HODLin'.
I'm not talking about a secondary email address. Switching the MX record around means that your primary address is able to receive emails again (and would receive the "lost" mail from the outage if it's still in senders' email servers caches). From the sender perspective this change would be invisible.
