Oh no argument here with that point at all, that’s a fine perspective and observation. Classification is necessary, but nuance and patience when dealing with the gray areas between are too.
My initial point was just poking fun at the mess poor astronomers have to deal with. It being one of the oldest natural sciences and all it has a bigger mess than most.
I’m afraid you are arguing with the simplified non-scientific definitions. Did you think I was making the complexity up? The reality of our classification system is a mess, like most classification systems, since nature doesn’t care what labels we attach.
Nature doesn’t care about our silly label system.
And it is a very silly label system, decided mostly by people who didn’t fully understand what they were observing. Ask an astronomer to explain the differences asteroid vs meteor vs comet vs dwarf planet and see what dirty looks you get in response.
Long story short, it’s going to involve Venn diagrams, classification on multiple traits that can change over time, classification on multiple traits we don’t fully understand, and a lot of historical figures making arbitrary choices in their writing.
I know the org intimately. This this exactly correct. Most of their business is B2B. UHC is actually a fairly small slice of the pie. They have literally dozens of CEOs. The one killed is the CEO of the healthcare insurance entity.
Obsidian Live Sync plugin is a great combo of self hosted and offline/local.
No idea how I’m supposed to take this ranty blog needlessly interspersed with furry cartoons seriously. But it’s basically just restating (poorly) all the same criticisms and alternatives written about here: https://www.latacora.com/blog/2019/07/16/the-pgp-problem/
The ‘real’ criticisms of PGP are that it’s old, it’s clunky, and it doesn’t support forward secrecy by design. None of that is invalid, but I think the importance of those points depends on the use case and user.
The alternatives given are myriad and complexity and clunkiness are interspersed between dozens of solutions instead of well understood and documented in one tool.
That isn’t a superior approach. I’m not arguing that PGP is perfect, but it’s absolutely asinine to suggest (like this blog and others suggest) that the solution is to use dozens of other solutions with their own problems and with less auditing.
If we’re going to replace PGP, we need to do it properly in a centralized library/toolchain. Breaking up the solution and spreading it around just magnifies the problems.
They really don’t. They’ve been told it will cause problems by the only talking heads they listen to, so they believe it.
Understandable. The Blackbird has that effect on people!
They’re referring to the SR-72 Darkstar
Though it looks more like a Valk, I think.
The “real meaning” of Christmas was getting the pagans on board with Christianity, don’t let anyone lie to you otherwise lol.
The long answer is Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Yes.
This is the kind of shit that terrifies me. When Trump first came into power in 2016 it was a shock for everyone, and he wasn’t prepared. He took office with GOP traditionalists mostly in his cabinet and in his reporting structure. Several of those found him despicable and put up resistance.
This made his first presidency extremely ineffectual.
No such luck this time, every one of these fascist fuckers knows exactly what they’re doing and are eager to get to work.
It’s impressive we give so much control of our financial instruments to idiots who obviously don’t fully grasp how tariffs and protectionism work.
It’s pretty fun. But I find myself drawn more to TCG Shop Simulator to scratch the itch these days. Pokemon had it’s chance to innovate for decades and largely refused to.
Rape. Don’t let anyone sugar coat it with any other word.
Think of all the innovative swindling we could do in an unregulated market! Think of the profits!!!
Need to remember the bastards to remember to piss on their graves.
Much as I understand your sentiment, I think it’s important to remember the people who did horrible things like McCarthy, and use him as a warning to our younger generations who didn’t see the problems they created.
You know, and the grave pissing.
Well, both funding and design by committee. Specifically a committee of politicians not motivated by the best or cheapest outcome, but the outcome that funnels jobs and money into their state and most specifically into their donors.
Exactly! It’s not a competitive game. It doesn’t involve an online component.
Frankly I think it’s exactly what it needs to be, bugfixes not withstanding. It’s complex, fun, challenging, but not overwhelming.
The only thing I can think i might want are more challenges, but that’s such a minor thing if I never got another I’d be perfectly content.
