Love Pendleton but they have moved some production to Mexico and other spots. Check before you buy

You can read the defamation complaint. Sure looks like Jones did way more than talk about other people's theories.

Close but a lot of this, as Sen Wyden points out, turns on how NSA and DoJ lawyers define terms. So you get situations where bulk collection of communications of Americans to Americans into a data center isn't considered interception until a human looks at it. There's so much we don't know because the policies/legal interpretation and the FISA court rulings on them are secret. Sen Wyden tries to warn but he can only hint at the real dangers and policies

Nah, they just finally decided to stop hanging out at the fascist playground. Seems like you like it there though

You can't meaningfully calculate the budget including social security. This is a trust fund that you get back depending on how much you made and how long you live. And whether the outlays are taxed or not depends on your income at payment.

The whole site would be way more informative if social security was broken out.

Even better if it included how much you and your employer spend on health care, because most people are literally spending more because there is no universal health care.

The only thing useful in the whole thing is how much tax money goes to "defense"

If you thought Slack logs were damning in discovery, wait til someone suing or prosecuting you figures out that everything you typed and looked at, etc., is in the cloud

It was too early and a bit of a dangerous design, but the StokeMonkey was built for torque and worked great at low speeds.

Some pedicab folks in Austin used to use them.

These are increasingly harder to get, sadly. My credit union won't anymore. I have to keep a debit card locked

The video for that song uses excerpts from the movie version of Johnny Got His Gun. I don't know if the songwriting was inspired by it but the video certainly was. Because the video relied so much on the excerpts the band ended up buying the rights to the movie just to not pay royalties.

Hilariously, I won a writing prize about this connection as a teenager in 1989. Fun to see you had a similar experience

What an amazing life

Booker T and the MGs also recorded one of the best Christmas albums of all time

I'd say too we aren't the only ones. Plausible Analytics is a great, mission-driven, open-soutce non-profit providing cookie-free web analytics.

And they let us bulk buy for our member publishers.

There's so much potential in what you are suggesting!

I agree and it's happening. I co-founded Outpost Publishers Cooperative as a member services co-op to provide enterprise-level subscription services to publishers on Ghost (which is a non-profit).

I'm biased but I think the model of member-service co-ops (like Ace Hardware) providing tailored software services to particular industries is fertile ground. Free of VC incentives, reasonably profitable, aligned incentives, and the state of software tooling makes this doable.

And since this model doesn't require capturing as much value as a VC funded venture, it's more sustainable.

But the hard thing is figuring out how to get to decent product without upfront investment, in lieu of investment models that don't require outsize returns.

I can think of ways to create early capital but I've yet to see an industry think through how to fund smart suppliers without falling into the trap of thinking they need to be VCs.

Which itself was a sequel to Brooks's first and underappreciated Western, The Wild Bunch (1969)

California's net neutrality law bans these kinds of paid interconnections, but they likely exist as all these deals are wrapped in 15 layers of NDAs

There's a big difference between a company making that decision (an edge provider) vs a country doing that at the network level.

The rub comes in that nations, including the U.S., have laws about what they seem illegal content or services and reserve the right to force those to be blocked.

In Thailand that might be criticism of the king; in the U.S., pirated TV streams; in another country, that could be gambling sites.

Cloudflare seems to be trying to stop blocking that is trade protectionism, but is blocking overseas gambling sites trade protection or a legit state interest in protecting its citizens?

It's the first matte screen on a MacBook since 2011.

I ran that thing for like 6 years til the replacement for the failed GPU failed again.

More matte screens please!

Gabe Rivera has been doing that right for almost 20 years.

If you haven't seen it there's also an amazing feature that you can go back and see the homepage as it was from any point in time in the last 20 years

Looks like yet another aggregator that will send almost no referral traffic to the folks who actually put labor into writing.

Parasitic by definition.

And embracing the news from nowhere perspective.

So both a parasite and boring at the same time.

I wish more tech folks who want to "fix the news" would learn from Gabe Rivera's Techmeme, Memeorandum, and Mediagazer.

He's done aggregation right for 20 years

Close but the Obama 2015 reclassification was actually upheld. Law of the land from 2015 to 2018.

Ajit Pai undid it, a court said reverting was fine because DNS.

Biden FCC took forever to reclassify and then lost in a Trumpy circuit court. Advocates didn't appeal largely because the courts are so screwed now and don't want an awful Supreme Court ruling.

But it's very clear for the law that internet communications actually are telecom, and I suspect we'll see this revisited in the future

It's illegal in some states, legal in others.

I just want to know how much it weighs.

Amtrak almost always has right of way but loses it practically, with freight trains that ignore or are too long for the sidings

Don't bother with the writing section. Leave it blank, turn in your test and leave early. The proctor might say you can't do that but you can. Nobody cares about it. No one ever has. It's only there to deflect criticism from LSAC.

I had the Schwinn equivalent - a 2001 Peloton with 853 steel - basically the last good Schwinn ever made. That bike was so much fun and it loved climbing.

Just sold it this summer. The geometry is just too tight for me now and couldn't support tires wider than a 28.
