From an individual's perspective, this is strictly worse than driving drunk. Not only can you not sleep in your car legally, you also can be charged with drunk driving while sleeping in your car unless you go out of your way to dispossess the keys. You also certainly can't sleep in your car with the engine running, which is pretty important in the winter time.

There are better alternatives than drunk driving, but sleeping in your car isnt one of them.

So not exactly the same, but I signed up with new job and got a welcome bonus... which has to be paid 100% if I quit in a year, or 50% before 2yrs.

Now... if I say I don't want it, then they will be suspicious, but in reality, it makes me super uncomfortable to get this money now, which they will deduct tax, but if I decide to bounce, I have to pay a full amount.

>Dismissing long-standing ethical objections to the lottery, these new advocates reasoned that, since people were going to gamble anyway, the state might as well pocket the profits

>The whole thing was hugely counterintuitive—the worse the odds of winning became, the more people wanted to play. Alexander Hamilton was right: to the average person, the difference between one-in-three-million odds and one-in-three-hundred-million odds didn’t matter, but the difference between a three-million-dollar jackpot and a three-hundred-million-dollar jackpot mattered enormously. Recognizing this, lottery commissioners began lifting prize caps and adding more numbers

>The irony, as Cohen notes, is that this obsession with unimaginable wealth, including the dream of hitting a multimillion-dollar lottery jackpot, corresponded to a decline in financial security for most working people. Beginning in the nineteen-seventies and accelerating in the nineteen-eighties, the income gap between the rich and the poor widened, job security and pensions eroded, health-care costs and unemployment rose, and, for children born in those decades, our long-standing national promise—that education and hard work would render them better off than their parents—ceased to be true. Life, as it turned out, imitated the lottery: for most Americans, it was getting harder and harder to win.

Browsers have refused to implement DANE for the last ten years. In the meantime, the major email players came up with MTA-STS, and alternative to DANE that cites lack of DNSSEC adoption as one of its rationales.

If you send email today, it's vanishingly unlikely that any DNSSEC will happen; email is complicated and email infrastructure tends to shut people's brains off (I know it does for me) but you can just look at the tiny slice of domains that are actually DNSSEC signed and see that there's no meaningful adoption.
I'm sad that this is happening to an app that's useful to its users, but the reality is that scraping is legal, always possible, but difficult.

This particular case is a bit harder since it's not purely using public data, but may still qualify since it's likely scraping with legally-obtained credentials.

I know of businesses (scraping for ride-sharing, scraping for business intelligence for retailers, scraping from LinkedIn - see HiQ Labs v. LinkedIn) that have continuously succeeded via scraping in ways that large businesses oppose.

The key is: you must make enough profit to justify dedicating engineering and legal techniques to defend your scraping.

- Scraping public data is legal, as affirmed by the Supreme Court in Van Buren v. United States [1] and HiQ Labs v. LinkedIn [2]. Defending yourself or suing the data owner in court are both expensive though

- Defeating anti-scraping via technical means is pretty much always possible, but can be costly depending on the scraped site's technical expertise and value in keeping their data private. The benefit to you must exceed the cost to you, and ideally should also exceed the cost to the data owner

- Mobilizing PR and internal resistance may also be effective, but it's usually hard to have outcry from a large enough group to change an organization's policies. In this case, the union can push for it, but AA may try to withhold improvements until the next set of union negotiations

Depending on the individual and how much stuff they have, full service relocation can be $20k or even more. Usually that means a full move-and-pack of a multi-person household (say, a 3br house with 3 kids), moving of vehicles, and marketing/sales of a house. Plus temporary housing at new location, and assistance buying a house.

For context, I had a full move-and-pack for a one bedroom apartment (no temp housing, nothing extra, just the moving service) between two cities ~300mi away and total cost was $6k. Now, it was totally worth it, since I literally did not do any packing what-so-ever. They showed up to a fully furnished apartment with stuff in cabinets/bookshelves, and ~24 hours later they dropped off boxes of stuff and all my furniture in my new location.

This type of relo is much less common these days though, due to rules changes regarding reimbursement for relocation expenses. I think most companies prefer lump sum payments now, since you can't deduct ANYTHING for moving expenses. If a company does provide you $20k in relocation coverage (even if you never see the money), you're now on the hook for an extra $20k in 'income' which you have to pay taxes on.

On the very rare chance that I purchase a lottery ticket, it's almost always when the jackpot grows to an enormous sum that starts making headlines. I don't do this because of a cost-benefit analysis or anything like that. I don't expect to win regardless of the prize. I buy a ticket for fun. For a few days, I entertain the fantasy of winning & joke around with friends about the things I would do with it all.

Tests that output booleans (pass/fail) are an antipattern.

Tests and their dashboards must distinguish “the testing system worked and the test failed” from “the testing system failed”.
DANE stapling died in committee at the IETF; there's no solid answer for how to implement it in a way where an attacker with control of a root certificate can't strip it off a TLS session, and if you assume an attacker can't control a WebPKI root certificate, DANE isn't serving any purpose either.

Meanwhile: DANE and CT don't have the same functionality at all. DANE defines away the need for transparency by saying that the PKI will be operated by entities we all intrinsically and completely trust (world governments). CT says "we don't trust the PKI at all, so let's log it". A lack of any kind of DANE transparency log is one small reason among many that DANE isn't taken seriously.

What seems unsaid in the article but seems to be the case, is that the app is logging in to American Airlines systems using the flight attendant credentials and then scraping.

If this is the case, I think American Airlines is justified in trying to block them. An app storing/using credentials for a different service is a data breach waiting to happen.
I don't think security clearance is a good analogy as they are administered by the government itself. You may be sponsored by a private company, but I believe that work has to trace back to a government contract. (Maybe I'm wrong here and someone can correct me).

However, the DoD often does give these types of contracts for other training. A friend had to sign a contract for university training where they agreed to stay on for 3x the training length or reimburse the expenses.
I'd also note that the qualifier easier to trace than paper money is a kind of misdirection tactic. Is crypto also easier to trace than electronic $US funds hidden behind a web of shell companies and offshore accounts, and with ownership further obfuscated by various cut-out strategies?

Even so, my understanding is there's not much overlap between Kroger and Albertsons so I'd expect their merger to have minimal impacts to local markets.
I wonder if social media has actually moved our political system closer to a direct democracy than it used to be. Instead of representatives debating amongst themselves to decide what to do about any particular issue, the debate (if you can call it that) happens on social media and the representatives then get immediate feedback about what the popular position is on "their side". Any deviation from that position is then met with immediate negative feedback from those same social hive minds, creating a disincentive for representatives to think for themselves. I'm not convinced this is an entirely new phenomenon, but perhaps it's been amplified in recent years?
No, I would think HHM would be smarter than that. Student loans are pretty predatory, shit interest rates, deferment, capitalization, etc. all combine to make these loans cost way more than they should.

HHM could likely either get a more conventional loan or just use cash on hand to pay the tuition up front. With a conventional loan, they could get a more reasonable interest rate, start paying immediately, etc. And there are reason HHM would still take a loan for the amount even if they had cash on hand to pay it up front.

It's likely if HHM took any loans, they're technically paid off by now. Kim's debt is solely between her and HHM by this point. How they structured the deal could affect things. They could have charged her like a 3% interest and started the clock the day she graduated and counted every day worked as $X towards her loan. Or a portion of her billing.
> The lottery is an accepted tax on math morons, as my old teacher liked to say.

There is a difference between zero and a non-zero chance of winning, even if you hold just one ticket. Even if the probability is low, it's non-zero nevertheless. Someone always wins.

One paragraph mentions effects in children:

“Similarly, a 2-year a retrospective cohort study using the TriNetX electronic health records network of 1,487, 712 individuals with COVID-19 and a similar number of matched controls with a different respiratory infection found continued risk of cognitive impairment at 2-years from diagnosis (Taquet et al., 2022). In contrast to risk of cognitive impairment, the risk of anxiety and mood disorders normalized within 2 months following SARS-CoV-2 infection (Taquet et al., 2022). This TriNetX study provides some of the only available data about cognitive deficits in children and found in this retrospective cohort study that children did not exhibit an increased risk of anxiety or mood disorder diagnoses, but did exhibit increased risk of cognitive deficits (HR 1.2) and insomnia (HR 1.29) compared to children with different respiratory infections (Taquet et al., 2022). Unlike the adult cohort in this study, the risk of cognitive deficits in children normalized to the level observed in controls with a different respiratory infection by 491 days after COVID-19 (Taquet et al., 2022).”

Just to comment on this specifically, it was pretty obvious to me from a young (<18 in the late 90s) age that the era of companies taking care of their employees and maintaining benefits like pensions was over. I'm sure I'm not the only one. If you treat employees as interchangeable cogs don't be surprised when employees treat you as interchangeable in return.

I enjoy KDE more than Gnome nowadays but it's far from being more minimalistic; it has way too much options, applications, dropdowns, buttons, etc. compared to Gnome and pretty much any other DE.

It DOES run great though, but I think they'd do a good job by simplifying some aspects of it, too bad the community seems to be mostly opposed to that as they want KDE to remain a more power-user friendly desktop.
I think it was because in the 80's the US was wealthier and systems with disk drives were a lot more common.

People would swap games on disk, and there was less pressure to learn how the underlying system works.

Having a disk drive also enables more complex, larger games, which would be harder to produce as a lone programmer.

Contrast this with the UK - we had much less money, it was common to type games in from magazines, which is how a lot of us learned programming.

We mostly had to make do with tapes, which limits the size of a game and its sound and graphics to physical RAM. It was entirely possible as a lone programmer to create a commercial level game with a few weeks of late night hacking.

The hidden piece of the puzzle here is that objectionable speech pushes regular speech out.

Most users don't want to wade through toxicity to get to signal. If they're discussing a topic of interest, say baking, and someone comes in and starts ranting on how a vast global conspiracy made up of surprisingly-homogeneous ethnicity given its global scale is pushing up the price of yeast to weaken the market for white bread, either the moderators squelch that noise or people who want to talk about baking go somewhere else to do it.

Given their own freedom, when given a choice, users tend to select moderated channels over unmoderated ones. We've been doing the Internet long enough to know this to be true.

> body you going to be even visible from the road?

No but your car will be, which will probably be investigated. If you are on the side of the road you'll definitely be investigated and for sure get a DUI because they'll say you drove there and parked. (Also definitely a no-go on highways/freeways).

If you are in a parking lot cops will usually scope out a car, especially if you are parked away from other cars and then they'll wake up and tell you to move. Then you'll say "I'm drunk I can't drive" and then that's where all of the problems start. If you park near other cars (perhaps late night workers) they'll probably call the cops or call a towing company because you aren't allowed to park there and sleep overnight (another reason all these gigantic stupid surface parking lots are so useless).

There's just way too many problems with this strategy.

> an idea that puts forward genocide as acceptable form of action should never be allowed under "free speech"

See I have a problem with the word "never". How about "rarely" or at least "once". A terrible idea should be given an audience once. Let it it be quickly refuted, then go back to better conversations. If someone brings it up again, point them back to the earlier discussion. That way it is established why it is a bad idea.
Not a joke at all - and I fully agree that those spirals aren't common in regular everyday life because most people aren't dealing with malignant narcissists.

I work with "ordinary folks" everyday and have since forever. With only maybe one or two notable exceptions, if someone shares a personal story of being a victim in a sober way, I've never encountered anything other than sympathetic responses.

Perhaps you are thinking of "suck it up" culture - which is emphatically not what we are discussing here, and is quite different - and one I have almost 20 years of experience with as a former Military Officer and Iraq war veteran.

Absolute free speech and anonymity is a toxic combination.

Free speech in the way it was envisaged in the constitution presumes there is a feedback loop back to the emitter of the speech. Anonymity breaks that feedback loop. Anyone who tells you that free speech without consequences has ever existed pretty much anywhere is lying to themselves and to you.

If you want anonymity you need some measure of bounds on speech in those places.
