Not to be political, but that’s not a source I have a lot of faith in. We’re in an election year now. Get ready for the propaganda from all sides:

The economy sucks because of Biden—he’s only benefiting from what Trump built!

The economy is wonderful because of Biden — if Trump gets in it will go back to huge inflation and crap!

And there was major hubris from the makers. They were arguing that because it was all totally above board Apple wouldn’t be able to block the service without impairing iMessage entirely.

Wrong

Blood flow is the most likely explanation there. The simple act of activating those muscles forces blood flow, which can often be restricted in a healing area. Same reason we apply warmth to an area and encourage light massage.

A lot of “injuries” we have can be fixed with exercise.

This is why a lot of what PT’s do is teach you simple exercises to work ALL of your muscles, including those that might not get activated in our day to day existence, leading to problems.

Lawyer here. Not legal advice. Really not that much by way of law to consider. If everyone agrees that an E-signature is good, then, generally speaking, an e-signature is good. I’d suggest it’s more on the people actually drafting the documents being signed than the software layer facilitating.

I’m a Rivian reservation holder, since June 2021. Likely going to pass on my reservation.

But, make no mistake, I’m pro-Rivian, and am on the Rivian subreddit.

Rivian owners and fans are quick to jump on any valid criticism of their beloved Rivian and downvote contrary thought into oblivion.

Not surprised you’re getting hate for valid feedback.

This is an interesting take, and a very salacious headline.

I’m a lawyer who represent a number of disabled individuals (including the blind). My clients with vision impairments as all in on Apple products, saying that the accessibility features are head and shoulders above other options.

Also, folks need to appreciate the role that govt has in our lives (or that we want it to).

I don’t want the gov’t to implement my personal moral worldview. I want the gov’t to assure a basic level of law abiding and morality (I.e don’t kill or steal), and stay out of the rest.

Except that iMessage is a perpetual source of security concerns. Once that becomes unsupported, you’ll likely have exploitable code, where the exploit is publicly and widely known (but patched on newer versions).

Except, if you read the headline, the law is protecting this guy. It’s not like this person is barricaded in the house with guns and ammunition holding off a siege from the police.

That’s what makes the story noteworthy. Somehow a person can do this and NOT go straight to jail 450 days ago for trespassing

As a person who fits within your example, this is what I always come back to. I can completely understand a person’s position in support of abortion, but no amount of talking through the issues will get us in alignment.

Many of these big issues (homelessness, immigration, universal income, abortion) come down to one’s particular viewpoint on humanity and human rights, and if folks aren’t in alignment from that foundation, no amount of dialogue changes the disagreement that flows from the foundation.

this is a valid definition of “working class,” (I.e. non-owners), but it’s not how the phrase is typically used.

This phrase would include any non-owner professional like lawyers or doctors or even upper management.

On top of that many tech workers don’t fit even your definition because equity is often an important part of comp. That’s not the case for lawyers or doctors or management in other industries.

Using standard and customary vernacular, tech workers are not “working class.”

This is a fair point. For folks who want a “just works” Unix system, disabling SIP probably makes sense. But most it’s still very niche.

Is there a way to make a separate partition of MacOS and have one copy with SIP and one without?

Someone had to sell the that call option . . .

Whoever sold it wouldn't have sold it if they knew a merger would be announced the very next day (or wouldn't have sold it at that price, to be more accurate).

No explanation needed. You got it.

An options contract gives you the right to buy or sell a security to a counterparty at a fixed price at any time on or before the expiration date.

As you note, the chances of being able to buy a share from someone on or before Friday for $127 (when the stock was publicly trading below that) was near valueless ($.04). Not anymore!

I’ve always thought crowdsourcing is the future. Crowdsourcing information or compute. The fact is we have the “resources” already. It’s a matter of deployment.

Andy Hertzfeld is a national treasure for saving all of this tech history by taking the time to write it down. He’s got some amazing stories.

Then, not only is it great that he’s preserving history, but I love his delivery. Short, no filler, but long enough to give a little flavor.

"Personally, I don't want my data sold at all. It's not Starbucks specifically who I want to prevent from selling my data. If it's totallynotshadyvpn.com who does it, it's just as bad."

That ship has sailed

But a VPN service is only additive. The way I see it, it’s one of two ways:

1. The VPN is being honest. No tracking. All is well.

2. The VPN is lying, tracking, maybe even reselling your traffic. Fair enough, but they’re not in any more privileged situation than your ISP. They still can’t see inside your TLS connections and whatnot. And you still get the ancillary benefits of:

A. Geographic diversity of IPs;

B. Easy to get a new IP;

C. Security at potentially unsafe access points.

So, worst case, for $80 a year you get some IP flexibility and security at Starbucks. Best case, you also get the whole no-tracking thing.

Agreed; it only took damn-near a century after the author’s death for the copyrights to (mostly) expire.

Copyright law on both sides of the pond is asinine.

The supporters of copyright fear monger and present a parade of horribles that will flow if excessive copyright isn’t allowed. (Folks will “abuse” the Mickey Mouse character via pornography, etc).

But I think history has, and will continue to, prove out that these are BS and that it’s all just a cash grab.
