While I agree jail doesn't need to be enjoyable, it should at least be humane and free from torture (psychological or physical). Also remember that this article is about an experience before any charges were filed, before she'd se

It doesn't matter what her charge was. Even (alleged/suspected) serial murderers and rapists should be treated humanely and not experience psychological torture. And also remember this treatment is at the point where they haven&#

Sure, but I think some of the stuff it sends isn't necessary. A website doesn't need to know the list of fonts on my machine, for example. Some of them are questionable: most websites do not need to know my time zone, but when a

I agree that even if companies do everything right, they can still get popped. But most companies do not do everything right, and they should be legally responsible for those things. But even if they do everything right, is it really fai

It's annoying that this is how internal politics usually works. Decision-makers at an org should be considered just as responsible when a third-party choice goes bad as when an internal tool goes bad.

A friend who teaches at MIT said they were hit by this. I found it ironic and a little sad that a place like MIT doesn't have an IT staff that can maintain their own on-prem solutions for things like this. But it turns out that MIT us

Last I read, ASLR is a good thing to have, but overall is usually not difficult to defeat. It's a speed bump, not a brick wall. I don't think it's reasonable to say that an OS that lacks it isn't "serious" abo

Ah, that's true. In the US I think it was a lot more common for penpals to be domestic, given the size of the country (IIRC all of mine as a child were in the US). In Europe it makes more sense that penpals would often be in a differ

What a neat idea. It's basically email, but it knows where you are and where your pen-pal is, and doesn't deliver the email until the appropriate snail-mail time between those locations passes? Brilliant.

Wow! That's expensive. In the US it's certainly quite a bit higher than it was when I was a kid, but right now stamps cost $0.78 per. I think that's going up a few cents later this year. Just looked it up; in the 90s when

Yup, the normalization of deviance here is a real thing. I still review all the code the LLM generates (well, really, I have it generate very little code: I use it more for planning, design, rubber-ducking, and helping track down the cau

That's a bit of a weird position to take. You seem to put "American forces" in a special bucket where, even if the actions the US military are taking is wrong, the support and reputation of "American forces" should

I would sincerely hope that anyone making tech money has some savings put away and isn't living paycheck-to-paycheck.

I think you misunderstood: Coinbase is offering to pay for the first 6 months of COBRA for the laid-off employees. They can still continue with it for the following 12 months if they want, paid out of pocket.

Oh, c'mon, that's a huge exaggeration. US companies commonly incorporate in Delaware due to its generally-friendly business regulation with a ton of legal precedent surrounding it, and a court system well positioned to handle bus

That doesn't seem wild at all. Laws are written by humans, and, as such, there's inherent ambiguity. Given that, would you rather have a case tried in a court that has only tried a handful of other cases, or would you rather be i

Not sure about initially, but the big benefit to Delaware today is essentially network effects: so many companies are and have been incorporated in Delaware that there is a mountain of case law and precedent, so corporate legal teams can ha

We used to have a lemon tree. When it was producing, 80% of it went to waste. When it wasn't producing, we had to buy. It was still worth it, though. It required very little maintenance (pruning once a year, replace the batteries on

I think for some types of produce, a home garden is an easy win when it comes to cost. Sure there are things that are very difficult (labor intensive, water intensive, etc.) to grow, so avoid those. But tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, beans

I mean, we already have one company going bankrupt in part because they are unable to sell enough of their production to cover costs. Your plan would just cause more peach producers to go bankrupt.

I live in NorCal and agree with you that we have great produce, but it's a little weird to single out Texas and Georgia (the latter especially on an article about peaches!). There's plenty of good produce to be had in both of tho
