I realize why this is bad. Full stop. I wonder if it ever evoked an dive into exactly what happened to leave these customers with thinking this was the most likely avenue for success? Hopefully in at least some cases their calls with CSRs

Flickr had been transitioning recurring subscription users from Digital River to Stripe for a while, but abruptly ended remaining Digital River subscriptions around November last year. It seems to me like this could likely have been why.

I did find out that my state has a law that allows administration of flu vaccine by pharmacists without a prescription. That doesn't account for COVID not having one listed, but maybe that's still part of the emergency use author

I'd have hoped things improved in the last 5 years but maybe you can avoid the GP altogether and schedule it like a flu shot through the pharmacy? I noticed it was in the list at Walgreens this year anyway. Best of luck with it!

Interesting, at the Walgreens portal I don't see any prescribing doctor listed for any of the vaccinations I've gotten there. In looking at the little pharmacy receipt they give you, there's certainly a prescription number, a

It was on the checklist at Walgreens when I got my flu shot and COVID booster. Maybe you don't even need a prescription now?

Exactly. It'd be nice if primary care physicians approached the request with an open mind and had the real conversation about any risk/reward. I don't know if there's any risk to taking the 9-valent version if you migh

I took the post you're replying to as to have interpreted the "doesn't want to be a manager or director" idea as that there are times others or a team may be foist upon them without such a people management role being th

This all makes sense. PEP 740 mentions: > In their previously supported form on PyPI, PGP signatures satisfied considerations (1) and (3) above but not (2) (owing to the need for external keyservers and key distribution) or (4) (due to P

Sure, it all hinges on whether the signatures provided any value. And it seems to be the conclusion that it didn't. Without something showing "keyservers present an untenable risk" and Debian, Ubuntu, Launchpad, others have

That's fair and I appreciate that detail even without having followed the link in the original article. But while not being "the holy grail" why must the perfect be the enemy of the good, if it was providing a value? I certa

Wouldn't another very good answer be for PyPI to have a keyserver and require keys be sent to it for them to be used in package publishing?

For systems using U-Boot you can use the bootcount[1] feature to detect the failure and react by booting into the old environment. Edit: This doesn't cover your running instability case, but that seems more like a feature that should b

I didn't claim that Brazil would lose the citizenry or anything about this specific situation. I disagree, generally, that nation states can always win against corporations. But maybe it's more a question of time frame. DuPont

I don't think it's always true. It seems like it would have to depend on how the nation state responds to its citizens when the nation state does things like break large portions of the web. And what actual economic leverage the

It would be interesting to see how fast Brazilian network operators are changing things to implement the blocking and responding to things like that.
