Hi, attacker here, I usually use the password immediately but it really depends on the level of user as to whether I can ensure that password changes won't affect me going forward. If you're a normal user, changing the password is helpful. Root? Forget about it.
I'm convinced, but their google pay seems to time out on my phone. Will try again later, but if the rest of the book is like the first chapter it's well worth it.
You kind of buried the lede in your last paragraph:
This is largely due to MIT and similar schools having massive endowments from which they can draw for Financial Aid; there are cheaper schools, certainly, but they have coffers that are less deep (referring to private schools), meaning students end up having to take more debt.
It is reality that expensive schools cause the massive student loan debt problem, but expensiveness isn't totally buried in sticker price but total cost of attendance. Schools like HYSM don't saddle attendees with as much debt despite their high sticker price perhaps because of endowments.
I have a hard time believing this. Information was murky and information asymmetry was a big reason lots of people seemed to just apply to a flagship state u rather than look at more far flung or prestigious options, though the state u is prestigious in it's own right. There's certainly more noise now, but there's also a lot more signal (maybe the ratio is the same though). I suspect there's really fantastic info out there that's way more than I had applying to colleges way back when in 2010.
I'd be interested in doing an experiment to act like I'm in high school and want all the info on college applications and to see where I end up.
The info was available to me back in 1992. Somebody at your high school, typically called a "guidance counselor", would have it. It was available in a thick paperback book. I could also use an Apple II program if I preferred.
From there I picked: Rice, Rutgers, MIT, Worchester Polytechnic, UMass Amherst, Virginia Polytechnic. Clearly, that was not just one state.
After picking, phone the schools. Ask them to send applications. More applications may arrive by surprise if you do well on the SAT or ACT.
When an application arrives, put it in a typewriter and carefully type into all the fields in the form. Send it by mail, physically, and wait to get mailed a response.
No, but if a law is applied inconsistently it raises questions about whether 1) the law is sensible 2) the regulatory system is unbiased. Pointing to such inconsistencies is a perfectly reasonable thing to do.
Resolving those inconsistencies in the law because of uneven enforcement would come quite a long time after the fact. But as the law stands now, this is probably illegal. I doubt anyone will be prosecuted for it, though.
Yes same here, tried to get me to install something on my android. Please leave this provider asap! But I love these so much I'll happily host them all on my CDN if you'd like.
Hi there! I am looking to switch hosting and if you could provide me with info I would be interested in changing over. I don't want to responsible for spreading Malware!
Well, for one Snopes filed an anti slapp motion and the court fully granted it. If that's not evidence this is slapp, I don't know what is.
"As part of our defense, Snopes and our CEO David Mikkelson filed separate anti-SLAPP motions against Proper Media, Richmond, and Schoentrup. Those motions were heard in August 2019, and they were both granted in their entirety, with the court striking claims related to defamation and the advancement of legal fees against both Snopes and Mr. Mikkelson."
I hadn't heard about this, and there's nothing in the main article posted about the origins. I went to their gofundme and read a bunch of updates, and was able to find this article. Seems to stem from an alleged breach of contract. As an anonymous internet commentator and IAAL, I will say that a skim of the complaints and various actions leads me to believe that Salon group is acting in bad faith, and the various courts who have ruled agree with that view. Poor Snopes. :(
The relationship between the two companies stretches back to the fall of 2015, when Bardav founder David Mikkelson inked a deal with Proper Media to manage all content and advertising accounts for Snopes, according to the complaint. Mikkelson terminated that agreement in spring 2017, according to the document.
“Our termination of the contract was fully in accord with the cancellation provisions of that contract,” he told Poynter in an email. “The contract was terminated because it was highly disadvantageous to us.”
A month after Proper Media filed its legal complaint, Bardav filed a cross-complaint in the Superior Court of California in San Diego County alleging four claims, including breach of contract.
“Proper Media failed to perform its contractual and legal obligations, and Bardav eventually terminated the contract in accordance with its terms,” the document reads. “Proper Media is now wrongfully withholding money owed to Bardav and effectively holding the Snopes.com website hostage by preventing Bardav from moving the website, advertising and other back-end functions to another service provider.”
Bardav signed over a share of Snopes’ revenue to Proper Media in exchange for web services such as management of its back-end advertising platform, according to the cross-complaint. Proper Media alleges in its original complaint, which was filed in early May, that it still has a valid, written contract that the company upheld until Bardav withheld the “accounts, tools and data” it needed to manage Snopes’ operations. The complaint alleges that Mikkelson himself breached the agreement by canceling it.
That's great context. Thanks for the response. Very helpful in understanding what's going on since Snopes seems reluctant to offer more detail on it, understandably.
This seems to be a strange hill to die on. For all intents and purposes there is a declaration in the readme. And anyone who knows enough to want to operate with this will see that it's fairly basic. Others will likely just reach for a more generic or battle tested solution.
In any case, people should be able to do what they want with their repos and code, assuming legality of course.
We're small and early, but I've really enjoyed starting with microservices from the beginning. Each team simply exposes a grpc endpoint to everyone else and can otherwise be off sprint schedule from other teams, make generally whatever tech decisions make sense etc. Deployment velocity has been higher that other companies I've worked with.
