Agreed, not to hijack, but I fail to see the that $ORG not being at the table Vs. them constantly redefining morality for their actions to be at the table to be a less worse outcome.

This, and not only developers I think most people or at least people of a certain persona need that alone time to process clearly.

I do, I don’t know that I would categorize this at the top of what’s been listed but I still think it’s worth reading.

I’d have to agree to put it lightly it certainly influences my view on MIT. I won’t go as far as assuming people knew but I’d have to imagine anonymous donations with this many 0s where asked about outside of the media lab.

From what I’ve read a lot of the reporting on this seems to use frame and packet interchangeably.

I’ll add a link to a few blocklists when I get to my laptop. My understanding (I’m sure someone here knows more) is that the ads are served from dynamically generated urls so you can add them to url block lists based on url structure for so

I find the user-aggressiveness of some of these techniques to be insane. I have a similar setup to you and have two pi-holes for DNS on my home network propagated to all devices include a few smart devices. On any given day roughly 45% of m

This has certainly been my experience. The type of connections that seem to really fast track the acquaintances I've witnessed move quickly through career ladders, certainly weren't made at networking events. They were made at wed

I think this is a pretty good summation. I'm fairly active at the r/homelab subreddit and this is pretty on point. Usually there is some combination of upgraded home media/routing and then on top of that a learning and experi

This is my position as well. Unless your app is going to provide substantial features over your website or operating system like functionality. I'm not even going to try it out.

Needs to be substantial penalties for these transgressions or it's just another "cost of doing business".

Thank you for this, I live in this region and work on the IT side of house. I've been surprised by some employers perception of salary offers in Utah so this is really interesting to see some quantification.

Also to be fair $5,620 appears to be the tuition for LDS church members which likely means it's being subsidized. It looks like it's double for non-LDS students. https://financialaid.byu.edu/cost-of-attendance

I think the nuisance in your point is really important. Particularly when you are talking about 22(ish) year old. They've essentially been fronted the money with no collateral so it's not real for a lot of them yet.

One thing that I think is sorely missed in these calculations including the FAFSA is length of time the income has been made. There is a huge difference between a family with an 18 year old that has been making 130K+ for the majority of the

This sounds like a story of someone growing personally to be a contributing member of society. Perhaps we shouldn’t be beating these people over the head with debt for trying to better themselves.

I like where you are going with this but I can think of a few that change what seems to be weekly. As a heavy coffee drinker I’ve learned I reduced my cancer risk and increased it, back and forth for years according to trending studies.

Truth and the fact that Apple seems to be one of the diminishing number of manufactures still making/upgrading new tablet models.

This is confusing me more and more not your comment but Apple’s position on this. I used to think the Mac Mini was a bit if a cast off because it was really the only Mac for awhile that didnt encourage buying all your periphels from Apple.

I’d make the argument that privacy is a neccessary pillar for growth in society. Things like marijuana usage could likely not have become legal had private use not occurred and many people found it to be not harmful. This private space for

I personally think it’s fair to be catiously optimisitic at best. I for one don’t have the solution but I don’t feel like all the sudden I need to trust Microsoft. That being said I like the direction they are going in but I’m sure people l

Good point, I agree on the uniqueness of traditional art being a big factor In it’s ability to be used as an asset. Watches are pretty common these days at the big auction houses and most if not all have departments specializing in them n

As someone who has loved mechanical watches <insert other qualitative hobbies I’m sure> for years and seen them become a financial product over the last decade or so. I’m not convinced making art a financial product is a net positive.
