Things being standardized is in itself a benefit. Anything unique has to outweigh that.

If you invent a competitor to microSD that somehow stores 50% more data in the same space(For example only, just ignore the fact that form factor is independent of the flash storage tech), I would be annoyed.

If you push to make it the global standard and succeed, I'll still be annoyed but appreciate the progress.

If you just make a line of devices with unique storage, I'll probably be like, yeah, but MicroSD was fine and this doesn't work with my readers, and now I have to buy a new card.

In software NIH often doesn't offer much benefit at all. It's usually just "We want to build it ourselves and really understand it". Sometimes features are even worse("We don't need to support importing those formats, build something smaller that only support one"). Sometimes performance is worse ("Who needs a million line library with crazy vector instructions? 5 lines of C will do").
In the specific case of the NYPD the qualifier "now" is not necessary. They have a centuries-long history of acting above and outside the law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_New_York_City_P...

Highlights include:

* Early in it's formation, the historical precursor to the NYPD was two separate police forces; one run by the city and one run by the state. At one point the city police (Municipals) was literally protecting the mayor from arrest by the state police (Metropolitans).

* Having to be rescued by actual nativist[0] gangs after riots broke out after the Metropolitans won out over the Municipals

* Repeated bi-decennial corruption investigations that lead to reforms which just push the corruption somewhere else and make it worse

Fun fact: the NYPD even operates in other countries. There's a weird post-9/11 program called the International Liaison Program[1] in which other countries pay the NYPD to station NYC cops in their country. It's absolutely insane that this somehow doesn't violate some kind of Geneva convention[2].

This one is hard, it seems like the wider gauge really is way better, but... it's not the standard.

Not really any ideal solution here, if the standard isn't suitable, you need something nonstandard.
What the media says (including musk) and what the term sheet says are two different things. If he mentioned mDAU could be fraudulent to anyone involved, they would be interested to hear what he had to say about it. I believe though that this is a move to reduce the risk and monies he has to pay to try to get a better deal ($30b perhaps?)

I believe the OP is talking about emails for their employees, like personal inboxes. Postmark is more about transactional emails, no? And even that is offloading a lot of the deliverability concerns to a specialized vendor.

> At least, by running your own email instance, it gives you the ability to easily debug what the problem is with direct logs.

You really really should not need to be doing this yourself. I've had to fix a few of those and it's REALLY not worth anyone's time.

Getting email from Google is $6/mo, Microsoft $6/mo, Zoho $1/mo, Proton $4/mo, Fastmail $3/mo, etc.

Then it's just set it and forget. You don't have to track down quarantined messages, cross-examine a bunch of headers, check blacklists and whitelists, figure out how your SPF is propagating, blah blah blah... it's just not a wise thing to skimp on.

Do you really want your startup employees to be running into email problems while you're still trying to establish yourself as a business? At some huge corporate scale it might make sense to in-house this again (and even then it's questionable), but it's certainly not worth having a dedicated person (or generalist IT scapegoat) waste time setting this up and debugging it in a small or medium-sized business.
And yet it's so much easier to navigate than many of today's websites.

This really is a great distillation of the web when I first got online, from the cheesy gifs to the marquee elements, and the neon colors, marking links as "NEW" or "HOT", and "This site is best viewed with Netscape." The site is actually self hosting a zip file of Netscape 4.7.2! It's a real fossil for sure.
No. You are claiming that the numbers that Twitter has been putting in their official government stock filings have been false for years.

Thats ridiculous.
Did Elon ever really intend to buy Twitter in the first place, or was he just looking for a way to get inside information about the company without paying for it like twitter's "largest enterprise customers" do? Then he could dig up a reason to abandon the deal, and back out without losing anything, and having gained much valuable information that could be used against Twitter in some other spat.
The most straightforward solution would be to require the telecoms submit pricing tables to the regulator and force them to stick to them. If they want to make a change, they have to do it for the whole region, not just the area where small-time competitors have installed new service.

Price transparency in general is a huge issue with Canadian telecoms, it's well known that it's a "complaint based system" with the big three. They'll hook you with an introductory rate and then start jacking up the prices after a year or two. The usual dance is you go to one of the other big telecoms and get a quote for their introductory rate, and then go back to yours and threaten to leave unless it's matched. It's a pretty awful system that requires people to know how to navigate it. Most don't, so after their intro period expires they just get gouged.

If Google Duo stops working out, we've had great experience using meet.jit.si with my wife's great-aunt. She's in her mid-80s, and English is her second language. We set up a room months ago and sent her the link, and each time we talk weekly she goes to the same place, clicks the same link, and the whole thing just works for her. It was simple enough that we were able to walk through setup over the phone (we're on the West Coast, the great aunt is in Germany).

No ads (just checked with an adblocker turned off), and the same link always dumps you in the same always-active room. As a bonus the whole thing is open source.

No, I don't work for them or have any interest whatsoever other than being a happy user.

De jure? Nothing, as written the law applies equally to all.

De facto? Just observe how often the rich are convicted for their crimes. Even in the rare cases that they are jailed, the severity of the sentence is usually much lower than the common man. Look at Musk himself, he already agreed to not tweet about tesla without the boards approval in an agreement with the SEC to avoid punishment, then routinely ignored it and just fought them in court until he won. Our system allows for anyone with enough money to run out the clock until they either win, the other side gives up, or the situation no longer matters and the case is dropped.

And since you can't count on them to stick around, it's not worth it for many of us to go through the hassle of switching only to have to switch again a year or three later when the company goes under.

"Orange man bad" killed it, it just became farcical. Nobody will ever, EVER take the media seriously ever again. I blame the deep state, which the media went from claiming didn't exist, to praising for helping to defeat Trump.

It's cool, fully half the country is no longer tuning in and prefers to get their information from more reliable sources like Alex Jones. CIA fucked up SUPER hard and people aren't going back onto the farm's pastures, ever again. Can't take it back, can't fix it. Only thing that could help is honest reportage from a neutral perspective, and let's face it this will never ever ever happen.

It's the end of an era. And America will become more healthy and diverse because the media failed so badly. Fifth estate became the fourth column decades ago, but people finally noticed once it became just farcical.
Yeah, this is happening all over the place. It's a globalized world. All States with any power projection capability have operatives in each other's countries, they all have intelligence operations going on in each others societies to steer culture and public opinion in directions in line with their interests.

What good are jobs if inflation is carving out the bottom half of the economic ladder? There's a reason it's the #1 political concern, and the reality that the government is making it worse, both by running printers 24/7 and by lying about inflation numbers (the headline figures are complete bogus).

Food inflation is sky high. Most people received a pay cut in the last two years in real numbers.

Police tend to be assaulted at far higher rates than any kind of fatal injury rate, and I'm not sure I'd say it's 'safe' just because it's not death. Do you have any statistics that put a figure on the actual amount of psychopathic/drug fuelled/antisocial behaviour directed specifically at police? I'd be surprised if Airline pilots were assaulted at the same level as police, for example.

I don't think any historical power (Assyrian, Persian, Roman, Mongolian, Japan and even Britain) can be compared to the modern US. Those were just different and far more brutal times across all of humanity. If the US had been even remotely like one of these powers at the end of WWII, they would have dominated the entire world as the only nuclear power. Yet, they choose not to do so and allowed their enemies to develop nuclear weapons on their own.

Stop beating yourselves up. The US has been an incredible force of good in the world for the most part - though not perfect of course. Russian, Iranian and Venezuelan governments on the other hand have been objectively horrible. I don't believe the "American way of life" is keeping anyone down other than those that wish to oppress others.

This was a bypass of our security process, ideally they shouldn't be able to. However, since it wasn't downloaded through the browser, our security solution didn't intercept it. That was a whole other issue, and I was not at all pleased with the vendor. Unfortunately, I can't name-and-shame, but we also switched vendors after that issue.

And due to a legacy system, we can't rely on windows UAC to prevent these attacks either, this user needed to have a local admin account. Yes, this is a security issue in itself, but needs must.

You're really going to write an entire diatribe about how the image quality of new lenses is aesthetically inferior to old lenses and not include a single example comparison??
I think they meant quality from a hardware and ops perspective.
I work in the animation/VFX industry, and I’m constantly amused by how camera and lens companies are constantly trying to make images more and more perfect by removing imperfections from lenses and decreasing grain and noise, and meanwhile in CG we are working very hard to take our clean too-perfect CG renders and give them lens imperfections and chromatic aberration and film grain…
Rents aren’t dropping - so the investment properties are likely going to be better off held as inflation helps push down the cost of those mortgages vs rental income.

> this kind of music

do you mean opera?

well, some of my faves, definitely all on the crowd-pleasing, accessible side (as opposed to "snobbish")

Cavalleria rusticana / I Pagliacci: both about an hour, often performed together. Opera buffs like to refer to these as Cav and Pag.

La Traviata (or actually, lots of Verdi): the only opera I sang in twice, and never got tired of the music.

Carmen (Bizet): you'll recognize a whole lot of this music. Great tunes, like the Toreador Song and the Habanera.

La Boheme (Puccini, and lots of other Puccini)

I sang in all of these.

Edit. in case anyone says "what about X?" (where "X" is The Magic Flute, say): yeah, that, too. This isn't a "best of" list; just my own favorites.
> the waiver is null and void if the data supplied to the SEC by Twitter is fraudulent.

Look at said SEC filing. It is worded in a way that is impossible to prove fraudulent with the kind of data Musk asked for. He could have proof positive that he is the only human account on Twitter and the Twitter SEC filing would likely not be construed as lying - it very explicitly states that it is a judgment call by the Twitter execs, based on some internal methodology, and that the real number could be higher.

The only way you could prove they lied to the SEC would be if you found emails that say something along the lines of "to the best of our knowledge, 20% of mDAUs are actually bots/spammers, but let's say 5% in our SEC filing".
Junk mail is wasteful and a PITA but it isn't quite as intrusive as a phone call. You pick up your mail when it's convenient, and it's easy to identify junk mail and discard it without it really interruping your day or having it change its message when it sees you heading for the trash bin.

There’s a whole lot wrong about this comment, but the most obvious is the claim that Go lacks a new keyword. Firstly, Go has a new keyword and secondly who makes a big deal about whether or not a language has a new keyword?
It's not that you can't believe anything they report so much as relying on only those sources is going to give you a distorted and biased representation of ideas and events, same as somebody who only reads Fox News.

Dallas runs trains slower, and at certain temps, stops them completely above ~104 sustained for ~>4 hours because the rail can/will buckle due to expansion. I think they also do a stop travel when the temp gets below a certain temp as well. It's not unheard of, and not a bad idea when it comes to public safety and potentially derailing a commuter train in downtown or whatever your worst case scenario is.
IANAL, is that actually the case? Just because you set the minimum doesn't mean if you're on the other side that you're legal. It's not binary. There is the legal grey zone.
SpaceX sells a launch to customers for $50-70M. they make an estimated 10-30% profit, depending on your source and whether the rocket is reused. that is nowhere near an order of magnitude.

This is exactly the sort of comment to which I am referring. Maybe I am just getting trolled. I should just ignore this gibberish. How can something be "BS" if it works.^2 I am using this every day.

I used to serve DNS data over a localhost authoritative server. Now I store most DNS data in a localhost forward proxy.

If "upstream" means third party DNS service to resolve names piecemeal while accessing the www, I do not do that.^1

1. I do utilise third party DoH providers for bulk DNS data retrieval. Might as well, because DoH allows for HTTP/1.1 pipelining. I get DNS data from a variety of sources, rather than only one.

2. If it were "BS" then that would imply I am trying to mislead or deceive. The reverse is true. I kept reading sources of information about the internet that were meant to have me believe that most DNS RRs are constantly changing. I gathered DNS data. The data suggested those sources, whether intentionally or not, could be misleading and deceptive. Most DNS RRs did not change. BS could even mean that I am lying. But if I were lying and the DNS RRs for the sites I access were constantly changing, then the system I devised for using stored DNS data would not work. That is false. It works. I have been using it for years.
