1) art museums, specifically the Smithsonian, but nearly every major city has a decent one.

2) state parks are pretty rad.


The US federal government doesn't run most museums, but it does run the massive parks system with 20k employees (pre-Musk) and that system enjoys extremely high ratings from guests.

And there's no longer a CFPB to help you when it happens...

Why would you pay for a product and never want it to improve your workflows?

> Rails 8 has moved Redis functionality into the database by default, which works fine.

Databases could always do what redis did. Redis doesn't bring functionality to the table, it brings speed. If database caching, pub/sub, and streams are good enough for your use case, there was never a reason to pay for an extra instance just to stand up redis.


Extra instance and developer overhead.

Why does it need to be labeled at all? Is opening netflix.com while in the Netflix app really an external website?

Because non-tech people are more susceptible to phishing attempts. It’s obvious to you or I, but my grandma needs all the help she can get to know whether she’s still in the app or an external website when she’s handing over her credentials.

So now we're assuming that the Netflix app does not know which domain it considers safe?

Think of an app that allows user generated content

There is already the ability to establish "associated domains" for the apps which establishes a special relationship between them.

The Office of Special Intelligence protects the world from dangers we would rather pretend didn't exist.


A sniper rifle does the same, with a single shot, more reliably and without witnesses.


But it leaves pretty clear evidence of human action, which CIA-style actors may not want.


"Defunded" NPR gets less than 2% of their income from the government. Defunding them isn't as big of a deal as claims appear.


I wish that were true. But 2% number is essentially disinformation. NPR gets a large portion of its budget from affiliate stations, which are funded by the government.


kinda true but also misleading without adding more facts. vermont public receives ~10% of revenue from the CPD ($2,044,000). they spent a total of $2,253,926 on "Program acquisitions" in 2024. it's not clear from their financial report how much of this goes to NPR license fees. so you are sharing as much disinformation as anybody. https://npr.brightspotcdn.com/5b/64/62bb42da4ec8b5f858176dc4...


That definition of real time is not good enough for things like pacemakers, where real time really does actually matter.


Something so major (global finances), over an issue so minor (fraud on an individual basis)? Serious organizations don't play games like that.
