I use Keybase git for this reason, and it works great.

This assumes that the NSA and CIA are partners, not adversaries.

I made a successful complaint to my HR department when someone used that very phrase. I very much agreed with the part of the person's intent to support and embolden the woman. But it's not OK to attack other people in the effort to support someone. Why not say something positive like "other people can do it, so can you"?

I am assuming that the entire email system is a Times Square billboard in terms of privacy. This move gives me flexibility.

I have done exactly this with Fastmail and my own domain, and the experience was wonderful, as in "why didn't I do this years ago".

I thought that perhaps she was the first one.

1. I didn't have a forge in my house. As I said, he made one, using found materials and a few cheap tools he bought with his own limited money, outside. 2. I am a software developer, I have done a bit of small vegetable farming, and my metalworking experience is limited to watching the blacksmith at the historical museum. 3. My son built it specifically for my son. 4. Building it involved his working his butt off hauling discarded materials like cinder blocks from the neighborhood. 5. He studied very hard on many aspects of the craft, for months, online.

My input into this was computer access, permission to proceed, "no you can't put it there", (then after he set it up in an approved spot) "neighbor says you have to move it further away from his yard", and buying the fuel since he's not old enough. Then one day dropping my jaw when he walks in the house with a beautiful knife.

Is there a reason to doubt that a guy who is capable of designing and building a home fusion reactor is also capable of noticing that being able to buy all the gear is a privilege others don't have?

The parents are interviewed, and from my experience there might not be quite as much more to the story than it may seem.

Children are capable of absolutely amazing things when they are told "yes" and given respect and minimum guidance. Of course my example is not as mind-blowing as this, but my son built his own forge and has made beautiful knives and swords from found metal. Tons of research and sweat and persistence on his part, and not ours. And if we were interviewed about it, the soundbites would come out about the same: "Yup, he did it, we were a bit worried, but he was managing the risks and knew and followed the necessary rules, so ultimately we trusted him."

Yes, sell me on the problem you are solving, sell me on the technology opportunity, sell me on your approach, help me feel a sense of mission and curiosity.

Turn on any NPR News broadcast over at least the past two decades and the first story will invariably start "The ______ administration…", regardless of who's in office.

I read the court case in translation at the time. The opposite is true. The government acknowledged in court that keys for E2EE chats were not possible to surrender, but they had terrorists using non-E2EE groups to coordinate an attack and Telegram didn't produce those keys either.

In the US, grab a basic 20" box fan and toss on a 20x20x1 furnace filter like this one:

For extra flow, set up a triangle with the fan on one side and 2 of these filters on the intake end as the other two sides, and duct tape some cardboard to seal the top and bottom.

The original Extreme Programming project at Chrysler was a payroll system, so many strategies for handling things like this have been thoroughly discussed in literature and forums in that community.

I'm a male with a literally randomly-selected username and have stopped posting here because of just the kind of thing you cite. It feels too much like school...it's this project to figure out what to say that people will like; fail to please the mob and out come the vultures. Life's too short and full of more wonderful adventures than that. And the payoff from getting it right just isn't there to justify the downside.

Grass-feed cattle farmers tell me it takes almost exactly the same amount of land to graze cows as it does to grow the grain to feed them in a feedlot, so that would be a direction to look: replacing grain farming with ecological grazing.

The statement you quoted and challenged is well-supported by facts. Have you seen the graph of contributions of "Philip Cross"? Very evenly paced across very long and predictable working hours. Nearly impossible that it is one person.

"Cabal" is a strawman. Think "PR office with outsourced help" for one much more mundane hypothesis that fits the available facts.

Intensive veggie growers ("intensive" means "scaled-up home garden") can make 6 figures on 1.5-2 acres. Selling higher-margin crops direct to customers puts a lot of money in the farmer's pocket.

Not even that hard to do, basically add some swales on contour and some trees along those swales, then graze in between the rows of trees. This guy is doing it in Wisconsin: https://www.acresusa.com/restoration-agriculture

We can simulate buffalo mob grazing with "managed intensive grazing": many cows in a small area for about a day, then they move. In addition to what you said, it manures the land quite evenly. The grass can stay in its fastest-growing "adolescent" stage. Builds topsoil quickly and sequesters unbelievable amounts of carbon. (This is not how most beef is raised.)

Things like Stuxnet show us that regardless of how true this story is or who in fact sponsored it, infrastructure compromise is a global game. I suspect this is part of what Russians are talking about when asking to negotiate on cyberwarfare. If this is indeed them, they may see such compromise operations as necessary for reciprocity for the NSA's known systemic compromise of systems around the world, which surely makes them feel threatened. A reciprocal compromise would allow them to respond tit-for-tat if attacked, and give them negotiating room for diplomatic resolution.

So let's hope it's correctly attributed and not some criminals with nothing to lose.

Thanks for sharing real experiences in real Russia.

As Getting Things Done taught us, our inbox is not our to-do list. For example, in the screenshot at the top of the landing page: what action do I take on "Jennifer: Privacy Policy draft #3"? So in this state this would not be a benefit to me.

But a fairly simple tweak would change the equation: a feature to process emails by converting a message into 0, 1, or multiple actions that would then go through the board. Those actions would include the email for context.

A card board that allows me to stay on top of my duties without a separate email client (and without turning my inbox into my todo list) could be a very nice tool.

Congrats on shipping this!

I remember having it years before that. Here's a February 2007 blog post about WriteRoom 1.0. http://osxdaily.com/2007/02/27/writeroom-distraction-free-wr...

New Googler.

I know of a big company that competes with Amazon outside the cloud that pressures its vendors not to use AWS for any of its data.

My more general point holds. I did not mean that hotels have to involve a judge to boot you. I meant that because they are regulated and not in a semi-private legal gray area, there are more legal options available for someone than OP has with Airbnb, where he's bound by their special agreements that give Airbnb vast power.

Just the fact that there is legislation or government regulation spelling out conditions under which an eviction can occur means that judicial review is possible and we're not in a loony EULA-fueled scenario where people can be banned with no due process available. So they _can_ do whatever they want, but there's a predictable downside that will tend to get corporate policies aligned to a more reasonable standard. (IANAL.)

I hope that 1) Airbnb will clean up their act and 2) conventional businesses will be able to respond to the market niche so people can get the lodging they want without fear of weird corporate reprisals like in the OP.
