I think though for gas pump skimmers, there are devices that plug into the pins of the OEM card reader and just copy the data straight from the OEM card reader.

Sweet Tooth[0] is an interesting novel. It's about how the (British) MI5 involves itself with artists to promote anti-communism in the 70's. The novel opens itself up to to discovering Francis Stonor Saunders' "Who Paid the Piper"[1] which is a book about how the CIA used literature as a cultural weapon against the Soviet Union, also very interesting.

Ian McEwen can take us to all sorts of strange places.

I'm not a big reader of McEwan, but the next thing on my shelf is "Solar" which looks quite interesting. If you want to expand your reading outside of McEwan then dip into his pal Martin Amis and his earlier works such as Dead Babies, or even The Rachel Papers (ignore the film).

I'm afraid you are arguing against a strawman.

Obviously, the commenter meant any returns to shareholders, whether that be dividends or stock buybacks or anything else.

Second, the commenter was obviously also talking about the economy in general. Individual companies being run in peculiar ways won't bring down the economy.

As an analogy: some companies give away some products for free. But it wouldn't be a good idea for companies in general to give everything away for free.

Of course, you can still disagree with the points that the commenter made about no returns to shareholders leading to communism (and whether that's bad or not). But please show some charity in interpretation, if you want to have a productive discussion.

If you just replace "financial incentives" with "status incentives", he's fairly correct. I view a lot of community contribution as a pursuit for status and recognition, even if it's done behind an anonymous avatar that proxies for the person's ego, with the ultimate unconscious objective of attracting a mate who recognizes your high standing in the community as judged by your peers. Financial incentives are just a subset of that psychological process that economists focus on because it's liquid and quantifiable.

The beautiful thing about capitalism is that it takes that selfish part of our psyche and tries to point it in a direction that's productive, instead of pretending that such selfish motivations don't exist. Self-serving psychopaths have a hope of contributing positively to society by simply self-maximizing. In any other system that makes no allowance for healthy self-maximizing, they are only capable of destruction.

Obviously the outcome is a disaster when the profit motive doesn't align properly with what's good, so that's where regulations come into play.
> People could be experiencing these symptoms for a multitude of reasons including, but not limited to, government mandates, rules, policies, inflation, economic difficulties, isolation, remote work, etc.

But if people who have tested positive experience these symptoms at a higher rate than people who haven’t, while both populations are exposed to mandates, inflation, etc., then it is reasonable to question whether mandates, inflation, etc. are the cause or the long-term effects of COVID.

All Scandinavian countries have billionaires. Sweden and Norway even have more billionaires per capita than the US. Scandinavian countries don't treat billionaires as policy failures. They merely have higher taxes across the board. In fact, the US tax system is actually more progressive because we don't have a VAT and much lower low and middle income tax brackets.
Interesting counterpoint to consider is that there was a study that showed that 50% of people who said they had covid never actually had covid. Can’t find the specific reference but it was a study around covid symptoms.

I think ultimately what’s annoying is that even though there may be some real post-viral complications there’s probably a lot of people who are saying they have long covid that don’t. Long covid also doesn’t mean anything, could mean lung damage or it could mean brain fog.

Anyone with brain fog and other mental symptoms should seriously consider questioning their diet, and whether it has changed in the past 3 years or so.

I have a long history of psychiatric troubles such as C-PTSD, anxiety, etc. I have steadfastly resisted medication for it, but when I did accept medication I was afflicted with brain fog and other terrible side-effects. However, I recently committed to an organic diet of fresh fruits, vegetables and meals prepared from scratch. Contrast this with my previous diet of fast food, casual restaurants and plenty of delivery, and it was like night and day.

One of the chief benefits of switching to a healthy diet was the end of brain fog and an absolute renaissance of good sleep hygiene. I woke up with the dawn and I had plenty of energy throughout the day. I ate several small meals on a regular basis and I slept soundly and restfully. My blood pressure dropped to normal levels and I experienced much less stress, and I benefited from increased exercise through housework and meal prep.

As soon as I "fall off the wagon" and begin to eat restaurant food again, I return to horrible insomnia, brain fog, and reduced executive function. I have trouble working through the day.

So I can't blame the psychoparmaceuticals for this stuff anymore, it was 95% my diet. I'm super glad that I found a way out, and I'm grateful for the clarity and health promised by better lifestyle choices.
I'm probably not the correct person to answer this question, but I can share my experience at least!

I was incredibly concerned about this with an idea I had. A shared the 'idea' with a mentor of mine, who was 'well off' and not technical. This mentor agreed that before I involve other people I should speak with a lawyer to see how to best protect the idea because like you it seemed to be (and researched to be) an original concept.

He hooked me up with a lawyer and we discussed the options for copyright, patent, etc. Long story short the decision was that there wasn't a clear method of 'protecting' the idea due to it's complexity.
I'm not saying you shouldn't consult a lawyer - there are certain things that are easier to trademark, copy, or patent. My idea is/was a biz to consumer saas if that helps any.

I didn't feel any better about sharing with others after that meeting - my mentor had reached out to his contacts who were more aligned with getting startups off the ground to as about what to do in this situation. What was explained to me was that what really matters is how fast you can go from zero -> 'minimum viable' (which could just be detailed ins and outs of all the pieces) -> poc -> 'market'

If there are high startup costs and you can't create a shotty demo or something, then sit down and write as detailed of a 'plan' as you can. Doesn't have to be a business plan, because depending on your expertise you may not care about monetizing it and can utilize people who can bring ideas to the table later on. What you're trying to do is document and plan out how it will work in as much detail as you can. Draw pictures, write process, write pseudo code, mock up layouts digitally if you can, basically whatever you possibly can get into a some kind of organized 'plan.'

While you're doing this it'd be smart to have an audit log that can be validated somehow. Pictures of you working on it where it's clearly visible, certified mail copies of it to yourself, whatever you can do to prove it was you who did this, and this is when it happened.

That's all I've got, I hope it helps. For what it's worth - the idea I'd come up with still doesn't exist for the most part out in the wild, and it has been roughly 4 years. The startup costs for me aren't high, it was the lack of knowledge to get it done myself that caused me to only do the planning bit I described above. My circle of people to tap at the time with the know how wasn't what it is now. (I got more into programming and it widened how many other programmers I know)

Perhaps someday I'll get going on a shotty demo of it to pitch ;)

Brain fog is a common term in autoimmune and other communities. People get dismissed constantly because they look fine. If you try learn, and or do something about it, you get a hypochondriac / lazy label.

>A lot of people think "really really cold" means it hits zero a few times each winter

See this seems to me an illustration of something being hinky about the discussion.

"Hits zero a few times each winter" quite possibly is an accurate description of the climate where I live. I believe only one month had a below zero low recorded last winter.

But representing my climate with that particular factoid would gloss over that lows around freezing down to subzero are typical for like six months of the year, and the other six months, you don't need heat in the first place.

A lot of people in the CONUS really do live where winter is pretty harsh, not just North Dakota or something.

The important thing for saving on energy bills, which I don't ever see brought up in any online discussion about heat pumps, is how bimodal the climate is, not how extreme the winter lows are.

I can't say there is nowhere in the world where the temperature graaaaaaadually ramps up and down all year. But all I see is people taking for granted that's how it works and thus heat pumps spend a large amount of time in the optimal range.

I do not deny that this exists and is a real symptom. The issue is when you classify regular anxiety and stress as long COVID in addition to actual neurological issues caused by COVID (which multiple studies have done), it inflates the overall numbers and dilutes the seriousness of the brain fog issues. That is also how you end up with long COVID as the “third leading neurological disorder” in the U.S.
My wife is a lawyer. One of her biggest complaints she has had over the years with certain clients has been that they want to treat her like their therapist. But that's not what you're paying your lawyer for, and that's not what they're good at.

Is "I'm perfectly fine with a specific extension that does something against the AMO rules and want to install it" a thing that happens in practice? (this is an honest question, I haven't come across extensions that I was interested in but that have been explicitly banned)

My original comment was reacting to the description of signing as "nonsense" but there doesn't seem to be understanding of why it exists. In brief: Mozilla can (and does) block specific extensions when they are found to be doing something malicious. From what I have seen the bar for this is very high, this applies not just to extensions that do things like extract user data, but to those that do it in a deceptive way without disclosing to users what the extension does.
Anyway, this blocking works based on a unique ID embedded in every extension. But if extensions were not signed, a bad extension could just claim to be "uBlock0@raymondhill.net" or something, trivially evading blocking. Signing isn't about somebody passing judgement on individual extensions, it is about ensuring that addon IDs are unique and not spoofable.
You might reasonably say that there should be a user option to disable the signing requirement, but how would this work exactly? You wouldn't want the user to have to affirm that they want this setting every time they start the browser, which means it has to be stored somewhere on disk with other user settings. But this is, again, trivially forgeable by any software that has write access to the part of the system where user preferences are stored.
I don't believe that anybody at Mozilla wants to put arbitrary limits on how people can use Firefox, but they do have a strong interest in protecting users who don't have the technical savvy to evaluate the implementation of extensions they install (which I would hope anybody who is installing unsigned extensions does!)
The system described above was built up (over the years!) in response to actual abuse of extensions by bad actors. The choice between having reasonable protections for the overwhelming majority of users versus offering flexibility in this case is a crummy one to have to make, but the compromise Mozilla settled on is allowing for unsigned extensions in developer edition, Nightly builds, or custom-made builds.
You may personally prefer a different outcome for this decision but calling it "nonsense" or ascribing other motives to Mozilla sounds to me either uninformed or disingenuous (or maybe just unable to consider the reality of weighing the needs of different groups of users when making a decision like this).
