It seems obvious Five Eyes will not tolerate or legitimize any email provider that doesn't allow them access to subpoenas, at the very least - this rules out most of the privacy features touted by protonmail & tutanota (no logs, E2E encryption, etc).

Perhaps what makes the ruse convincing in Tutanota's case is the crappy interface and clear dearth of basic features: search basically doesn't work; it's impossible to select all messages or use shift to select pages of messages. Their excuse is that customers might accidentally delete emails, but it might make more sense that they want to retain as much data as possible: https://www.reddit.com/r/tutanota/comments/nc9jxx/suggestion...

that's just America, and its not just nuclear, it's civil engineering & construction projects of all kind that have ballooned in complexity and cost due to myriad political and regulatory causes. France can build reactors cheaply and easily due to standardized reactor designs; I'm not sure the US has ever replicated a reactor build (ie, every reactor is built in a different & unique way)

Good riddance, what a dumpster fire. The tiny buttons for pause, replay, skip buttons are all right next to each other on the lock screen, so you often skip podcasts when you really want to pause or fast forward. on the other hand, the rewind 10-seconds button has half the real estate of the widget. Downloads arent automatically deleted even after the episode is completed (even if you mark as played or remove from queue). There's no skip intro/outro options.

Frankly, the Overcast app is one of the main things attracting me to iOS at this point, and a dearth of good native podcast clients is hurting the Pixel/Google ecosystem

"Believe it or not, I'm not home!" The length and detail of the jingle makes me nostalgic... The prominence of the answering machine and payphones throughout the show are an underappreciated element of the show's cultural millieau! As well as Jerry's desktop computer getting updated every couple of seasons

Why am I not surprised the vaunted NYT failed to do basic research that might contradict their narrative. They dont even mention the bombshell story from last week regarding a whistleblower complaint about Beyond factory conditions: mold, bacteria, and string found in the meat. They even lied about being inspected by Pennsylvania state officials but havent faced any punishment. see https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2022-11-21/beyond-mea...

Anecdotal, but wanted to mention positive experience with Oracle support. I have posted questions on SO relating to Oracle SQL and SqlDeveloper, and Oracle staff responded quickly with a solution I accepted.

I wonder how the return would have differed if they had advertised in The Talk Show, Gruber's fantastic podcast, rather than his blog. My guess is there is a lot of overlap between readership and listenership.

Wow. Rising sharply, from what, 0%? Assuming the size of the US public markets is the largest in the world, and that we needed to take action decades ago to prevent climate change's worst effects, these statistics place the blame squarely on large corporations
