While I like the regulations on who can collect and share your data and preventing all these backdoors to the US Gov I also think these regulations make it impossible for small companies to compete with Meta, Google, etc. You can't hire enough legal and compliance experts to get it 100% right not to mention all the extra code you need to write. Maybe that's OK but my cynical side says Google and Meta lawyers write and practically hand these regs to the legislators with that in mind.

Same. Does anyone know what happened to Dan? Last post in 2015.

Heh. As long as you are going relatively slowly and giving a little space you are as welcome to the road as anyone IMO.

Maybe they were just suffering from the uphill?

I did Skyline to the Sea Trail several years ago with my wife and it was great. https://www.redwoodhikes.com/BigBasin/S-to-S.html We actually were car camping at Little Basin the day before the August 17, 2020 fire. :-( https://www.littlebasin.com/

I too love the redwoods. I used to ride my bike all around Kings Mountain and Tunitas Creek and many other roads and just loved the experience.

When people visit I would always take them to Big Basin or Muir Woods vs. the other usual suspects.

When I hear the phrase "wage theft" I think of all the money stolen from workers not the alleged hours workers are not perfectly productive. People have continued to become more productive over the last 40+ years but have not reaped the rewards of that.

Firefox with uBlock Origin. I rarely see ads.

Artificial at least. :-)

And ai.txt should have a mechanism for micro (or not so micro) payment. Please deposit .03 X coin into this account to crawl site.

If too many of us would literally cut off the limbs of others unnecessarily to acquire said gold coins than we're done here. Let's just burn it all down and start over.

What do you mean by "long-term credit lock"? I think this should do what you want and I think it's free:

That's why those of us "with nothing to hide" should use these tools and others like Tor. Drown any potential signals with plenty of noise.

I'd like to get the ruler but the shipping is rather pricey. $17 for USPS priority when the product is $59.95. Perhaps because of its dimensions.

This is my favorite short story of all time. Thanks for including it.

I read the concept recently of a people manager vs. a process manager. A program manager from my experience is a bit of both but mostly process.

"Grifter gonna grift". These kinds of people are sociopaths and likely can't help themselves.

He's still doing 4:20 themed stuff? Truly galaxy-brained.

Per the article he is also charged re: the espionage act.

In May 2019 and June 2020, the United States government unsealed new indictments against Assange, charging him with violating the Espionage Act of 1917 and alleging a history of conspiring with hackers.

Julian Assange would disagree. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_Assange

> any reasonable sized company has D&O Insurance

What are the odds he's been paying that bill?

That hasn't been true (at least in states with income tax) since 2017 since there is now a cap of $10k on the SALT deduction.

I think it's more useful to think in terms of ratios.

A Millionaire ($1,000,000) is to a Thousandaire ($1000) as a Billionaire is to a Millionaire. E.g. they have as much wealth as a thousand of the former "tier".

Oracle: Not even once.

Most other countries are around what he is talking about ($2.5k to $4k) whereas the US > $10k. https://www.insider.com/costs-giving-birth-around-the-world-...

Certainly when things go wrong it can get more costly but the US consistently costs 2 to 3x more for everything AND usually has worse health outcomes. US maternal mortality is an embarrassment: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/hestat/maternal-mortality/2020... .

I'd love to know what company he's worked at that never makes mistakes. Charity Majors who I think is very sharp says something similar about not being afraid to deploy on Fridays. I think she emphasizes more that your observability is on point, developers own their deploys, rollbacks are easy and deploys happen often. I do think those are all things to aspire to but it takes a good deal of effort to make it all happen.

I like these and have used them for several years because they don't seem to dry out and become useless after the first use like most of the steel tube type.

I think it's this one I use: https://www.loctiteproducts.com/en/products/fix/super-glue/l...

The amount of money insurance will pay PTs is nonsense too. Last time my wife went it was like $40 or $50 an hour or perhaps less?

Especially if you work for such a juicy target. Shows incredibly bad judgement by everybody.

Huh, TIL. https://rentprep.com/blog/legal/landlords-refuse-rent-famili...

Subscriptions? Potentially the language model can give different answers and the highest bidder is the one that rises to prominence? Who knows... OpenAI was originally supposed to be a non-profit. The language model is essentially the sum total of the content of the internet which humanity up til now has contributed to so not sure we should be charged.
