As a person with disability, "Enchiridion of Epictetus"[1] helped me a lot.

> If you say "I will only be happy if I never get sick" , then, being mortal, when you inevitably fall ill, you will also be unhappy.

> it is in the nature of humans to get sick, which means it is outside of your control, which means you shouldn' t let it upset you.

> Disease is an impairment of the body, not of the mind, unless the mind so chooses. Lameness is a disability of the body, not of the mind, unless the mind so chooses. Whenever something bad happens, remember that it might be an impediment to something else, but never to your true self - your mind.

Since Epictetus was born into slavery and was crippled(either from birth or due to punishment from slavery), Those with health issues can easily relate to his wisdom.

> That's not what "public square" means in US law. Private property is a public square if it is open to the public.

“public square” isn't a term with a specific definition in US law, its a common-language term occasionally referenced in illustrating the logic of legal decisions, but not always with the same precise meaning.

Public forum is a term with specific legal meaning in First Amendment law, but it refers to a space used for official government business open to the public, not just a place open to the public. The latter is more like a public accomodation (but that is mostly relevant to anti-discrimination law.)
My comprehension of the actual costs of the infrastructure required to run those services leads me to believe that Google One is essentially insanely overpriced. Perhaps it's due to high service needed customers self-selecting for the service or it's just price gouging - but the pricing for that is well above what such limited cloud storage offerings normally cost.
You can do this, or you can just start using Microsoft Authenticator which will sync your Authenticator codes to your Microsoft account for when you reinstall the app elsewhere.
The difference is that in a normal rocket, you need to keep feeding the fire at regular intervals because the feed tube is so small. In the batch box you load it once and let it burn.
Maybe not, but do you think the next Russian oligarch in line is going to be friendlier to the west? Putin is likely to look like an ally in comparison.
Because it is centered around a highly divisive topic abortion. If it were anything else no one would care, even activities that are not widely legal. For example:

Online retailers selling marijuana products send fingerprints to Google Analytics overwhelming majority would not care

Brothels selling appointments online send fingerprints to Google Analytics overwhelming majority would not care

Online retailers selling firearms send fingerprints to Google Analytics overwhelming majority would not care
The video I linked to, which frequently makes the rounds, is essentially a defense attorney explaining that you should never speak to cops, even if you're innocent, and gives plenty of examples of innocent people that ended up convicted of something just because they thought they were safe (because they didn't do anything). For example, he explains even an innocent person making an innocent mistake while recollecting the facts to the cops can get screwed, whereas an innocent person who simply won't talk to them cannot get screwed as easily.

I'll repost it here for emphasis. I'm sure this applies mostly to the US, and also that the attorney is overstating his case a bit for comedic effect, but I'm also convinced that what he's saying is mostly right (at least, for the US legal system).

Again, for emphasis: he recommends that even innocent people never talk to cops!

Oddly enough, AWS didn't invent the internet, and the old ways still work. Mastadon exists, truth social exists, Gab and voat existed, r/conservative exists, the laptop sitting right next to me serving my website exists. There are PLENTY of programmers who have vile opinions, and they will happily take your money to make a scalable and robust controversial opinion platform. Fucks sake, infowars still runs. If people are too lazy or stupid to search out your platform that isn't on youtube or facebook, that's not youtube or facebook's fault.

You do not have a right to use the most effective means of communication that is owned, created, and operated by a private entity. The government should not be obligated to provide an industry scale PA system for whatever protest you want.
Coinbase is really a pain to work with. I tried to open a business account for my i401k and eventually just gave up due to the same dual account issue. Even just a straight forward personal account started causing me issues. Every step in the process is so much more complicated than it needs to be. I switched to Binance US as my fiat to crypto on ramp and have had no issues so far. I have no idea if Binance US even supports business accounts though. Last time I properly used coinbase was years ago when they onboarded chainlink and there were massive arbitrage opportunities for several hours. Price on Coinbase was 25 - 45% higher on coinbase than other exchanges. I spent hours just buying chainlink on other exchanges, sending it to coinbase, selling it, sending those funds to the original exchange and repeat.
> They also never supported smile donations from the mobile app for no good reason

They 100% did

> nothing more than a PR stunt/tax write off

Do you even know what a tax write off is? PR stunt of course, but that is every single company who also donates to charity. Should we instead shame companies for blatant PR stunts so that they donate $0 instead?
Exactly. Applications that are searching for files that have a certain extension (e.g. *.jpg) must read every directory entry and compare the file extension for that pattern. There is no magic call to the FS that says "Give me all the photos" or "Give me all the .jpg files). The application (including any command processors) have to do all that work manually.
You want to use Bitcoin to make international payments without headaches... so you open an account on a custodial service? I don't understand what you expected to happen.

All you had to do is download a wallet and transfer your Bitcoin directly.
IDK about the Feds but every contact I have in state government and local government & public functions indicates that both have been shoved from "slowly deteriorating" to "brink of collapse of ability to provide basic service" by the shock of the Covid years and recent wage inflation (which neither's even come close to keeping up with). All were threadbare as hell already, so it was easy for Covid to tear some outright holes.
This isn't coinbase, this is the exact regulations that everyone is screaming that are necessary in cryptocurrency land.

You could have easily substituted coinbase for chase bank here.
I'm done with Coinbase too. I first started using it in 2017 or so, things went smoothly until I sold some crypto and tried to cash it out. Transaction was stuck in pending with no way to contact anyone or fix it. I finally got a resolution through some Coinbase employee's social media account.

Then I mostly purchased and sent very little of my crypto out of coinbase, using them as my wallet. Over a five year period I spent (sent out of Coinbase) maybe $500 or so of completely legal purchases around the web.

Last year I wanted to send my crypto to my own private wallet and they wouldn't let me (account restricted, no explanation). They claimed my account wasn't verified, when it was. By then they had chat support, but chat support couldn't help me, they just told me to verify my account again and again and again in some kind of loop of insanity.

Thankfully they let me sell the crypto and transfer the USD back to my bank account and leave that awful platform forever.
While I agree that the process could have raised red flags with the customer's behavior, why not have a human look into it and verify that it's legitimate?

Why the ghosting/poor communication?
It's important to remember that peanuts in the US can be life changing in developing countries.
I haven't. To detail the issue, going through the banking system, there seems to be a non-zero chance that the transfer will be parked at a bank in NY. No one knows why, but everyone assumes it's because the US government decided to look at the transaction. Sometimes the money is returned, sometimes it's forwarded on... I haven't been able to talk to anyone at that bank or in the government, to tell them why I'm sending money to UKR.
Yeah, they would.

But if Amazon committed to Smile for 2 years, then they could say "We're re-upping our commitment for 2 more years" every 2 years, bringing even more PR for it. And when it ended, there would still be some outrage, but probably not as much.

As someone who has first-hand knowledge of cattle farming in the "Angloamerican West", I can confirm that the OP is correct. A substantial portion of the US beef herd is raised on grass and finished on grain as described. Anyone can see this with their own eyes in many rural areas, internet links from activist groups don't erase that reality.

Raising on grass and finishing on grain is economically optimal in many parts of the US that produce beef. It wouldn't even make sense to factory farm from birth if you cared about profit, since it would be more expensive.

The US is a large place with diverse geography. Few assertions about agriculture generalize.
> Your average heat pump doesn’t burn wood, and wood is, in several respects, an excellent fuel. It’s renewable, it’s easy and safe to store, it’s dense, and it’s easy and safe to transport.

You don't understand: your heat pump roughly generate the same amount of heat without burning anything. Instead of feeding electricity to an oxygen concentrator, you feed it to your heat pump and tada! you have your heat without burning anything!

> But heat pumps plus wood for backup in unusually cold weather may also be a good choice.)

Sure, but in this case you just need a good stove, if that's only used occasionally then you don't care about a little bit of NOx.

> On an industrial scale, some form of nitrogen-free combustion may simplify CO2 capture.

Sure, but then it's a completely different topic, at least because a concentrator won't give you nitrogen-free gas, just 8 times less nitrogen, which may not be enough for the needs. CLC is probably better suited for that, or regular air distillation to get pure oxygen.
Interesting. I have to 2FA to get into my account but when I go to modify 2FA I only need my password.

Thank god I keep 2FA in Bitwarden. I did not realize I'm this close to losing my Gmail. Jesus.
* 'The Joy of X' by Steven Strogatz. I really like this book, on my second read now.
Yeah, I was gonna say exactly this. When I switched from SVN to hg that was a bit of a shock, but I got over it and saw that DVCS was superior.

Going from hg to git has been fairly annoying and... I'm not really convinced it's any better. Or maybe even at parity.
The problem with these 2FA systems is that they require access to the 2FA device during enrollment which makes it very inconvenient/impossible to maintain a backup device in off-site secure storage as you'd need access to it every time you create a new account.

There needs to be a new 2FA standard which only needs the public key of the authentication instrument during enrollment - that way the actual instrument doesn't need to be accessed when creating new accounts and can be kept in secure storage, only accessed in an actual disaster situation.

OP was trying to get the Bitcoin in the first place.
How does that work? Do you have to carry around a Yubikey/Dongle everywhere with your phone?
Gmail is the ultimate root of way too many services for me, but I don’t really see any alternative. For example there are lots of nice paid services out there that look great, but eventually I’m going to forget to pay, or the company will go under, or whatever.

IMO we need USPS email addresses for the same reason we have mailboxes. The ability to be contacted digitally is just table stakes nowadays.
I like Saxon math for kids. It implements spaced repetition with their exercises, so the kids actually retain what was taught.
Definitely - and I think now that I've gone to that 2FA page and let it time out (since I only have backup codes), I think it's racheted up suspicion higher as these login attempts count as "an attacker has the password but not the 2FA code!"
> nothing more than a PR stunt/tax write off

It was neither. It was a way to get people to go directly to Amazon in their browser rather than search items through Google. Clicking through Amazon from Google results gives Google an affiliate commission on those sales.
I definitely recommend Deel. Your payments will be to one company and they'll handle everything else.

I can't comment on whether they work well for payments to Ukraine because we don't have any contractors there. But we've had no problems in the countries where we do use Deel.

At a family gathering we were all sharing we've considered this while driving. Not specifically veering into oncoming traffic but "what if" things like letting go of the wheel, intentionally driving into a ditch at high speed, etc.

The followup anecdote in that same article was also fun:

I decided to trap the students in a logical discussion. I had been brought up in a Jewish home, so I knew the kind of nitpicking logic to use, and I thought "Here's fun!"
My plan went like this: I'd start off by asking, "Is the Jewish viewpoint a viewpoint that any man can have? Because if it is not, then it's certainly not something that is truly valuable for humanity... yak, yak, yak." And then they would have to say, "Yes, the Jewish viewpoint is good for any man."
Then I would steer them around a little more by asking, "Is it ethical for a man to hire another man to do something which is unethical for him to do? Would you hire a man to rob for you, for instance?" And I keep working them into the channel, very slowly, and very carefully, until I've got them - trapped!
And do you know what happened? They're rabbinical students, right? They were ten times better than I was! AS son as they saw I could put them in a hole, they went twist, turn, twist - I can't remember how - and they were free! I thought I had come up with an original idea - phooey! It had been discussed in the Talmud for ages! So they cleaned me up just as easy as pie - they got right out.
It sounds like their money was in fiat and they needed to convert it to crypto
The problem is that "criticality" is too binary. A tower light NOTAM might be low-criticality for a fixed-wing airplane pilot flying day VFR, but high-criticality for a helicopter pilot flying at night in IMC.

Similarly, chart updates are very important if you're flying IFR. Going below minimums while in the soup ends... very badly. If somebody's changed the MEA/DA/MDA, you can bet I want to know.

NOTAMs do have keywords to tell you the subject (i.e. airport closure vs tower light), and most briefings will highlight the ones likely to be urgent.

(That said, I'd argue printing out all the tower notams in textual format is somewhat useless. The NEXTGEN FSS briefings are plotting them graphically now, which is an improvement.)
I would assume their salary is consistent, and denominated in USD. The payment is just made in x USD of BTC. Its up to the recipient to then exchange that BTC for their local currency.
They pay a lot more than the average retailer, which is why they feel they can work their employees so hard. I think they also tend to see less employee on employee violence.
There are no personalised ads or no ads at all in WhatsApp, are there?

What got rejected is using the data for "service improvement" and "security" - in particular how WhatsApp used personal data for these purposes, and how in the opinion of Europea data protection authorities this was not necessary for Meta to perform the contract.

I would like to get into crypto (for transfer, not for asset speculation) but can't understand the point of using a decentralized ledger and yet using these centralized exchanges which control the on/off ramps.

Isn't the whole idea not to rely on gatekeepers? There's been news (Canadian truckers incident) where the government told Paypal/Visa/Mastercard etc to stop the flow on crypto currency.

Am I missing something obvious, or is localbitcoins/classifieds really the only way?
I used this book and the sister book “advanced engineering mathematics” for my bachelors and masters degree in mechanical engineering.

It is probably the best pair of books ever written for what I like to call “plug and chug” maths. Strouds books cover the whole of engineering mathematics.

I turned to them for calculus in first year, and for Fourier and Laplace in my final year and masters.

But it will not teach you how to solve and develop proofs.
Why do you think I believe it was definitiely involved?

I just don't think it's ruled-out by the simple official story. Some but not all of the reasons why I believe there might be more to the story are based on decades of life experience:

* Whenever the media reports on something I know about intimately, they get it wrong, preferring pleasing simple narratives to the full details. Hence, I assume their stories on things I don't know intimately show a similar skew towards oversimplification, missing-details that are embarassing to the key actors, and audience-pleasing explanations.

* I've not ever been in IT security for a major or public company. But even in tiny organizations, I've observed strong incentives – not all misguided! – to downplay malicious mischief as a contributor to any problems. Organizations don't want to encourage the perpetrators with publicity, nor encourage copycats. Orgs also don't want to be embarassed by lax measures. From direct reports from individuals at larger organizations – and reliable public accounts of late-reported hack/extortion incidents – I believe these incentives can be even stronger at large, slow-moving, distributed-responsibility public companies (though of course the penalties for explicitly-misleading statements also larger).

* Plenty of mean, crazy, or self-interested people may have it out for Southwest, from previously-angered travellers to disgruntled employees to motivated short-sellers (individuals or formal funds). And even if the potential for sabotage was under formal investigation right now, the investigators – private or public – might want to hide that fact until definitive evidence collected & perpetrators are prosecutable. It can take months or years for the real story to emerge!

A fragile outdated system finally reaching a chaotic breaking point is one possible & sufficient answer, of course.

But it's also a potential weak-point to be pushed-over-the-edge by motivated saboteurs or extortionists. In fact, such a weak point is ideal for certain criminal schemes, because of its deniability by both perpetrator and victim as merely a problem of aged systems & incompetence.

So, only the naive would rule it out entirely based on only self-serving public narratives.
Try pouring an imperial gallon into a us gallon container and then tell me I'm being overly pedantic.

The names of the units are from the winchester system which is what predated both US customary units and Imperial units.
I recently had my student license expire for Github Pro and could no longer publish new builds of my portfolio.

Had to transition to Cloudflare pages, and it works like a charm.

I don't entirely understand why GitHub paywalls static hosting when so many other platforms can offer it for free. Different business, different revenue streams, sure, but surely they have the resources for it, and it's not like there aren't quality, free alternatives, so I can't see it being driving factor people use to sign up.
the Paris Review often prints draft versions of significant stories, poems, essays, etc. with editorial notes and marginalia on them. It really helps to see how these things weren't always in their final state.

what makes you think they are explicitly choreographing each facet of movement?

they show they run simulations first, so they first explore a large range of ways to achieve goals, that would be incredibly expensive to manually micromanage.

obviously they "compile" the highlevel tasks into lower level "bare metal machine language" ones, to make a metaphor.

the people who design a domain specific "compiler" need "intermediate languages" for interpretability and debugging.

the fact they give us a peak at their "debugging" capabilities should not be misinterpreted as a bunch of engineers hardcoding in the "assembly language" of robot control.

it seems bizarre to view the advanced state of their software tool suite (inspectability, visualizations, ...) as a sign of primitiveness.

The subjective experience of becoming aware of the full frontal details of a car when popping open the hood doesn't suddenly demonstrate the "primitiveness" of the car, but rather the subject's prior lack of awareness of how things work...
