It is the same process whereby websites deploy Google Analytics. They are getting value by harming their users. They easily rationalize and justify it.

Giving out the root password is less than ideal. I would prefer that my heirs not have to lie about their identity. I’m not singling out bitwarden here. Most SaaS offerings do not think about these issues. Pretty much every system should ha

My understanding, at least where I live, Florida, is that plasma can be sold, but whole blood must be donated. I still get a $25-$35 gift card every time I donate a pint of whole blood (as close as possible to every 8 weeks).

Just to be clear: You think that the government should never pay private entities? That is a hilariously silly idea.

We could extend this thinking to all public expenditures. National Socialism is getting popular again.

I understood that but had the sense backwards. If the best research institution for given grant is a private university, you are saying that it should be precluded from consideration.

This seems a dumb way to allocate Federal research funds. We, the taxpayers, should not choose the best university for these projects, but limit ourselves to only private universities? Is this what people mean by DEI? That we use some crite

Please elaborate. The Federal government funds various research programs. Are you saying that the Federal government should not pay any universities for research? Or that universities that have an endowment should not be paid for research?

No such plan has been documented. This is just wishful thinking.

When working, one should primarily be on only one of those devices. I have observed government officials using both concurrently to escape some conversations being subpoenaed.

It would not have to be illegal, much less very illegal for them to want to keep their discussions away from public scrutiny. It is unacceptable even for mundane official discussions. I have often observed government officials carrying two

“Candidly” is more precise where people usually use “honestly”.

No. My recollection is a lot of people urging them to get generics right and into 1.0 and the Go guys saying, “don’t worry, we can add generics later”.

I am sure that you have seen some pedestrian friendly suburbs. So have I. I never said that they are all hostile to pedestrians. Some are designed for people instead of cars. It is rare.

by mcculley 2y ago
My experience with suburbs is different from yours. I have lived in places where walking is downright dangerous because the architecture is oriented around cars and the drivers are not accustomed to yielding to pedestrians. Many homes are d

Suburbs can also be hostile to pedestrians. In many designs, neighbors only see each other when one or both is inside of a car.

As a U.S. citizen, I don’t want to “bend the knee”. I want to maintain the Pax Americana that keeps us rich and safe. Ceding global leadership to Russia and China and Europe is a myopic move.

What I found more amusing when in meetings with government officials is their constant use of two phones, one officially issued and one personal. There is a lot more use of the personal phone in official meetings than there should be. They
