Well, I don't think "you can be the headline in our new league for your current salary" is going to work. He has to break a contract. He's burned his bridges with the NFL. That's going to require compensation. Ye

We watched everything become 20% more expensive in 2021 and we didn't get an extra day off. I'm happy to try it again if I can get a day off every week. This time I'm prepared, I have a nice mortgage that can be made 20% le

It's somewhat unclear if they even need the exemption. It's only relevant to TV licensing deals, and TV ain't what it used to be. The NFL mostly exists to keep the dying TV business alive, but nobody actually wants to watch

Didn't Fox start a new football league this year? I think the NFL is more of an entrenched business with great brand recognition than a cartel. College football players want an NFL contract because they trust that the NFL will be arou

I agree with this. The sleep apnea world is kind of a weird racket; in order to buy $150 worth of electronics, you need to pay a doctor $5000 to interpret the results of a sleep test. Insurance companies require this because they don&#x27

That sounds like the Pro Bowl. They take the best players and then have them do anything but play football with each other ;)

I am not sure if these incentives help IPv6 adoption. Nobody can turn off IPv4 today; there is always a long tail of people with broken IPv6 stacks. Since IPv4 continues to work, I'm not even sure it's worth setting up IPv6 so t

I mean, did we already forget about Ed Snowden and "SSL added and removed here :-)"?

I don't know, you don't have to be a participant in everything you see. It's OK to just watch.

That's exactly right. CI providers are good anonymizers for unsophisticated attackers because they provide an extra layer of obfuscation. But if they were doing something significantly harmful, I'd obviously be talking to those

I feel like both outcomes are equally boring. Even as a New Yorker, you eventually get tired of the Yankees winning the World Series. On the other hand, the Giants, Jets, and Bills blowing it every year is also not that fun.

Yeah. I've dealt with definitely-not-nation-states before, and their pattern was to sign up for free/cheap CI services (CircleCI, Github Actions, that sort of thing) and launch their attacks from there. The VPS thing also sounds

Which "nation state" do we think this was?

I mean, typically laws do not substitute for the creative process of designing and marketing buildings. What color should the walls be? What kind of kitchen faucet should you have? What should the countertops be made out of? What floori

That's not curiosity, that's trying to get a reward through randomness. Loot boxes are like being hungry, going to your kitchen, and picking 3 random ingredients to combine. The mayonnaise, raw onion, and ice cube soup is not so

I don't think there's a good one-size-fits-all rule. A 3 bedroom unit could be 3 couples living together and splitting the rent, or it could be 1 family, or it could just be 1 person who wants an office and a gym. The rule shoul

I just type 'export TERM=xterm' whenever I log onto one of these systems (I use tmux-direct as my $TERM). It seems like Debian 12 has a lot of newer terminfos these days in the default install, and I've tried to upgrade most

It's definitely not. As a patient, I can do whatever I want with my medical records. I can copy them right out of MyChart and put it on my blog if I want to. I feel like I should have the right to sign a form saying they can email m

by jrockway 3y ago
Yeah, as a patient I don't have any problem with EMRs. When I visit a specialist I can fill out all the forms and pay the copay online. The app notifies the office when you arrive, so you just sit down and get called in. I used to g

Probably feasible. When the UK was part of the EU, it was probably too big of a market to leave. Now that they're out on their own, it's less difficult.

This sounds pretty similar to all technology. I remember Slashdot threads about how IntelliSense was making software engineers dumber. I remember my teachers saying that allowing calculators on the SAT made kids dumber. I remember people

Isn't this true of everything? If you were good at writing, you wouldn't work for the Wall Street Journal. If you were good at programming, you wouldn't work for Google. If you were good at cooking, you wouldn't make

That's what I (and the rest of the community) was hoping for, but given that they gutted things like the art teams today... I don't think they're planning on improving anything. If anything, they're making it worse.

I have used every type of razor. I definitely get the smoothest shave with the least effort with the cartridge types. Safety razors are OK, I don't cut myself a lot with them, but I feel like I never get the closeness that I want. Ul

Yeah, but the post I'm replying to suggests that police are demoralized when the original charge is not what prosecutors actually bring in court. Ultimately, the prosecutor needs a charge that they can prosecute (get a plea bargain, o

Yeah, Activision Blizzard was always chasing revenue at the expense of everything else. They got away with riding the coattails of Blizzard for a while, but eventually everyone figured out what was going on. My "favorite" part wa

Isn't that like tracking down Al Capone for bootlegging liquor, and then only charging him with tax evasion?

Those that "sort by price ascending" and click the first one, on the fan but not on the filters. DRM makes being the cheapest a viable business model, and people LOVE picking the cheapest over the best. You'll also see this

I think it's more like that 50% of representatives think that taxes shouldn't exist, so by making taxes an annual pain point, they are increasing their own support. "If it wasn't for That Other Party we wouldn't ha
