Was there any confusion about the plugin creating an HTTPS capability where one doesn't exist? I always understood the outcome to be very clear.

Keychron has been amazing, 0 issues for me. Flow looks cool but I would question reliability.

Ahhh, good catch. Maybe it's time to buy a Ledger.

> Since coinbase isn’t FDIC insured

Coinbase Pro is FDIC insured, makes one wonder why Coinbase itself isn't.

That sure does, I'll give it a try soon. Thank you!

The one thing keeping me from moving to Caddy, and maybe it's a user error, is that I can't figure out how to request a wildcard cert once and use it in multiple places. I have several subdomains that are not exposed to the internet and so without a wildcard I wouldn't be able to get an SSL certificate for them.

RED is used by major film studios all over the place, on films that I'm sure many would pay good money to see early clips or b-roll of. If they don't have a concern of RED collecting this, it's unlikely you have a problem.

Not to mention, exfiltrating actual recordings would be crazy amounts of data. Unless you see in your internet traffic that the camera is uploading at several MB/s for hours on end, they're not doing what you claim they're doing.

Except he makes no mention of having to connect it to the internet to activate it. This is just a standard CYA from RED of saying that if you do connect it to the internet, they may collect telemetry (e.g. crash analytics) and that they're not legally obligated to provide updates.

Thanks, learned something new.

Maybe, and he eludes a bit to the employee originally being 1099, but California has made 1099 all but extinct with AB-5

This is effectively what I'd like to do. I guess I'm almost just looking for a nice UI/frontend to help make it.

Unlikely, but at least a T-shirt doesn't typically require tailoring or near-exact sizing to look good.

On the same subject, Darknet Diaries podcast did an episode on PRK and the smuggling of "illegal" media in. It's a good listen.

I guarantee you, people can look like shit in a suit and tie. Many do.

Rapid unplanned combustion

There is actually a law in Sweden that says the rest of the world is always wrong about it. /s

People will be hurtful and abusive no matter how moderated the platform is. Even HN has its share of colorful commentary from time to time. If individuals here and there decide it's best for them to not be on any social media, nothing the platform can do - even if it brings more users overall - will keep those individuals.

Those are great examples of security done well (assuming it's actually doing something). Security implementations have such a history of getting in the way or being annoying that the end result is worse security because users turn it off or find ways around it. If the security controls are easy to use or mostly transparent to the user, it's a win-win.

Another reason why TSMC would be against this

Those are mostly design changes though, not a full blown merge of two operating systems. One could say MacOS looks closer to iPadOS every release, but that doesn't indicate they're merging.

On fixed-cost memberships, I'd love to see legislation forcing the hand to say that payments are for future services, not past, and that failure to pay means being cut off from future services until payment is made. This way these companies couldn't send you to collections since you're paid up for everything you've "consumed".

The issue still comes in with obligation to pay. If the gym has enough info on you, they can send you to collections as some others have pointed out.

That shouldn't give them a pass to provide scummy cancellation practices. Most people I know who don't use their gym membership have also never tried to cancel.

Are gyms really that costly to run that they can't sustain on a moderate paying userbase? I'm talking basic cardio and weight gyms, not the mega gyms with a pool and massage. The property might be prime but a lot of that comes to the choice of LA Fitness, 24, etc. choosing to build their own custom building in prime areas. Smaller gyms like Planet Fitness tend to use otherwise empty storefronts.

Specifically, for those who won't/refuse to live under (3) and will probably eventually end up at (5) anyways.

I think the large issue with some of these major platforms is that there's some pretty transparent government "suggestion" into these platforms regulating speech that the government doesn't like. It's along the lines of "take care of this or you'll be getting some "help" with your taxes, stocks, etc."

I could see your point there as well. If talking about Facebook and Google, I absolutely am on the same side of not giving them an inch more. I see them as data-first companies, whereas I see Apple more product-first. Whether I'm correct in that is debatable.

> Download the DuckDuckGo mobile app (or update to the latest version)

I must say, this is a great method of marketing. I've never been super interested in trying the DDG mobile app, but the MacOS option caught my eye. I've now downloaded the app simply to sign up for the desktop option.

> but I trust Apple... mostly

This for me is a big part of privacy. It's not about making sure nobody has my data, that's a near-impossible task and never ending. But if I can consolidate and limit who has my data to entities I trust slightly more than others, it's a win.

Example, using a credit card comes with the inherent idea that you can be tracked. Your bank obviously tracks you and knows everything about you, Visa sees it all as using their network, and the third and most important, every merchant/vendor you visit can now track your purchase patterns and tie that with other information about you. Using Apple Pay, I'm giving Apple my purchase history at the benefit of having a randomized number for each transaction that the hundreds/thousands of vendors I shop at can't track me by.

I'm in this line of belief too. I think I heard it's somewhere around 14.9% cap if he's on the board. Sounds like he knows where he can be more influential without restrictions.
