Are you saying that because Zuckerberg would object to the ways in which marketing companies avoid buying Facebook ad time trying to get things to propagate on social media or what?
For better or worse social media is here and not going anywhere. The genie is out of the bottle. One of the consequences is that "word of mouth" can reach millions of people in a single day. There is just no need for the RIAA and associated studios anymore. Technology has brought us to the point where they aren't needed for recording and aren't needed for marketing. We just don't need them anymore.
I'm sorry but I fail to see how that counters my contention that there is no need for an entity that does marketing and promotion for artists who aren't awesome enough that they are talked about on social media. If you are good, people talk about that. More people come to see you next time. Rinse and Repeat.
Technology has brought us to the point that while you can certainly spend more, you can easily set up a room for recording and subsequently record and mix unlimited albums for under $5k.
The world just has no need for the legacy recording industry anymore.
" Giving into our more base desires to afford our female offspring a little extra safety is probably harmless."
Yes, but we don't stop when they grow up and those instincts don't just extend to our own offspring. This instinct to protect and shelter females was harmless in a society with a traditional role structure. In modern society it becomes harmful in the workplace and adult society where females are protected and sheltered by their male colleagues and males in the leadership structure while those colleagues and leaders are afforded no such protection.
If the DEA can claim growing marijuana in the shed for your personal use is a federal offense under interstate commerce then the same reasoning gives federal jurisdiction over my kid. After all, one day in the future he could theoretically cross state lines perhaps making a wrong turn on the way to school.
I agree this is insane. My parents both worked long hours. I got up, got myself some sort of simple breakfast and went to the bus stop or to school (we moved a few times so it depends on where the school was) on my own essentially all through school.
At the times school was too far and I missed the bus THEN I'd wake my parents.
It wasn't a big deal, perhaps I was advanced for my age but I'd actually been a master of the skill called "walking" for many years prior to starting school.
"Refusing to acknowledge jury nullification is not a new thing. In some senses, that's understandable given that we have a precedent based system where no one in the legal business likes it when the jury ignores the precedents and the letter of the law."
The letter of the law is that the people never granted any branch of government including the judicial the authority the override their final say in all matters of law one case at a time via direct representatives in the form of jurors. Everyone else making "laws" only has the authority to do due to the higher law of the Constitution, the people simply reserved their authority to overturn those lesser authorities.
If only there were some other way that technology enabled marketing and promotion based on merit. Some sort of digital social interconnection of almost every individual. In such a world the dinosaur marketing and media companies might even be desperately trying to exploit such interconnected social meshes or social networks and poison them with content that actually lacks merits just to keep up.
Sort of. The Napster generation is coming into power now and they show no signs of intending to fix anything. Instead they are using their enhanced savy to make enforcement of law more successful.
That's a scary and terrible thought especially with our courts giving themselves the power to set aside jury verdicts and lying to jurors about their right and duty to judge whether a law is just on a case-by-case basis and instead telling them they are only allowed to judge the facts of a case.
"In 2002, he said, "I don't even know why I would want to be on a label in a few years, because I don't think it's going to work by labels and by distribution systems in the same way. The absolute transformation of everything that we ever thought about music will take place within 10 years, and nothing is going to be able to stop it. I see absolutely no point in pretending that it's not going to happen. I'm fully confident that copyright, for instance, will no longer exist in 10 years, and authorship and intellectual property is in for such a bashing.""
It's sad that natural technical evolution was so successfully thwarted via the mass purchase of lawmakers.
"Whoever has the cert for the domain should then be able to issue subdomain certs."
That is easily solved by the person who owns mysite.com creating individual certs for those sub-domains but the authority to do so should be delegated to them not require additional sips from the CA trough and really that should happen along with registration of the domain and expire along with the domain registration. Your root NS entries point from the TLD to your authoritative NS, if you control those you control the domain. I see no reason they couldn't also include a ptr with the public key for your private CA and anything signed by that CA is a trusted credential for anything.anything.anything.mysite.com. If the owner sees fit they could then sub-delegate out authority to a any subbranch such as whatever.branch.mysite.com.
There are also dramatically increased costs for EV certs and EV certs prevent anonymity.
CERTs are to ensure I'm talking to the domain I believe I am and that said communication is protected from other parties. Whether or not talking to that domain in the first place is a good idea is out of scope.
CA's have no business judging the validity of content. A cert indicates no more or less than that the content came from the person you think it came from. Malware/spyware/hacking tools are subjective concepts.
Fighting hacking/spam is the duty of police enforcement according to local law not CA's and technical companies. What next, a CA base in China or Russia refusing to grant "gays" certs for their sites as immoral? There is no line, everything is over the line, a CA should exercise zero discretion with regard to content just as an ISP should not.
What needs fixed is the standard. All certficates should be "wildcard" certficates by default and cover subdomains no matter the depth. Whoever has the cert for the domain should then be able to issue subdomain certs. This is how the certs should work because it is how the dns system works. The owner of xyz.com owns bob.xyz.com maleware.florida.xyz.com etc. The only purpose for doing otherwise is so that cert vendors can charge more making you buy certs for each of your sub domains.
Your tips aren't bad ones but the best answer is balance. Do not sit all day, do not stand all day, do not lay in a bed all day. Instead, balance these things out. If you are going to get a standing desk then get a tall stool to go with it and a nice shock absorbing mat to walk on rather than directly on the hard ground. Alternate sitting and standing throughout the day and don't spend hours doing just one or the other. Fix your posture. Spend a short time meditating each day to keep your mind organized and balanced. Learn to breath using your abdominal muscles so that your blood is always heavily oxygenated which increases mental and physical functional across the board.
I'd also suggest heavy full body exercise either with body weight or free weights such as very heavy squats. Avoid the machines that plague your typical commercial gym these days. They carry those machines because the machines stabilize the weight and thus reduce injuries (and lawsuits) due to improper technique. Do not start heavy and race to high numbers, do lifts, pulls, and presses in a slow and controlled manner with a focus on perfect technique and stabilize the weight yourself as the weight increases muscle imbalances and fine adjustments to technique will become something you do constantly because under heavy weight you'll be able to feel your mistakes. This is what your abdominal, lower back, and other accessory muscles are actually for, stabilizing and controlling loads for the major muscle groups. Do not do isolation exercises like curls unless you are recovering from an injury for the same reasons.
Using your lower back and abdominal muscles to stabilize heavy weights you are lifting for squats, rows, deadlifts, and overhead presses will develop them in a balanced and functional fashion and eliminate lower back pain. The massive amounts of oxygen you need to circulate around your body in large bursts to do the lifts will increase the capacity of your vascular system and that definitely will head off varicose veins. A short burst of jumping rope or running in place to get your heart rate up before your strength routine will take care of cardio. Lifting heavy weights is also the only thing that has been shown to trigger natural repair of cartilage in the body which means those damaged joints and spines might actually finally be able to heal. Additionally, lifting heavy has also been shown to increase bone density and speed up your metabolism. As an added bonus you will gain huge strength gains, both from learning how to use your muscles and skeleton to most effectively handle loads and work and from increased muscle mass.
Since it is most effective to keep repetitions low and difficulty high it won't take more than 20-30mins 2-3x a week. Avoid supplements other than vitamins and make sure you eat enough protein (about 0.6g/lb of lean mass).
That covers the health aspects but there is the cosmetic side many to consider as well. Women who don't want a bulky look don't have to worry, healthy body fat percentages for ladies (about 23%) mean you will always keep that smooth feminine look no matter how strong you get. Bulky girls are taking hormone supplements and cutting their body fat percentages to unhealthy levels. Guys who do want to look muscular, when you are strong you will have that look at healthy body fat levels (12-16%). If you want a six pack you generally have to drop that BF % below 10. Bodybuilders, male and female would drop BF even further and dehydrate themselves as well. Male or Female, you don't have to worry about looking like that no matter how strong you become and what you lift. It isn't something that happens by accident or just from working out.
This is important. It is also important to remember that in almost every workplace there is video surveillance and everyone has consented to be recorded. Once you've consented to be on candid camera you've waived your personal right to refuse. It could also then be argued that every employer in the United States has agreed to the terms of labor regulations and therefore, under this interpretation of those regulations, by employing others has given explicit consent to be recorded.
So it could be argued that if the employer has surveillance/recording the consent requirements of many states have already been met. Pictures would also mean video since video is nothing but a sequence of pictures.
I'm curious how this plays out in other things like trade secret disputes, law suits and stolen documents arguments. What if I routinely record all my workplace activities for labor protection purposes with a pen cam and that video recorded the content of documents. Since I legally recorded the material does that bypass stolen documents inadmissibility? I'd sure love to live in that world.
I'm usually inclined to rapid fire a troll mod at you myself but it would not be appropriate here. If I had mod points right now this would be informative. Someone please mod appropriately. The title and summary is accurate.

We focus so much on the negative consequences of sitting around all day because of the general nature of the audience on this site. But standing all day leads to a number of foot and vascular problems. Unlike the problems of sitting, which can be offset by a decent chair, paying attention to posture, and a few minutes of exercise after work some of those foot and vascular problems aren't really curable.
You pop a vain in your leg because you've been on your feet all day and the only thing they can really do about it is inject saline or something similar causing the vein to collapse and the blood to re-route.
And as someone who has worked full time on his feet in the past and developed pain in my feet. I assure you, a podiatrist will speak with confidence but the treatment effectiveness is so far from science that it is effectively voodoo. The foot, calf, all the tendons ligaments, and all those very very very many bones involved is extremely complicated. For 45% of people you can solve a lot of the foot problems by stepping on the machine at walmart and getting custom footpads, for maybe 5-10% the complicated extra braces or specialized shoes, etc from a podiatrist will take care of it when that fails (and cost a great deal of money), for the rest the only solution to sit down.
Trust me, if you haven't spent a few months on your feet for 6+hrs 4-5x a week and don't have arch problems you will after doing so for a few months.
Newtonian physics is the precursor to Relativity and therefore the relationship holds. Astrology actually does successfully track and predict the movements of the sky quite well. It was astrologers who learned to predict eclipses for instance. The same can be true for much of chemistry. The only difference is that these arts were pre-science and therefore when the scientific method came about they were tested and the parts that fit the models were then contained within scientific models whereas Newtonian Physics was not developed post science.
Astrology, Alchemy, and Newtonian Physics can all be used to make predictions which are good enough for some purposes. They are also ALL known to predict inaccurate and therefore incorrect predictions. You are going to have a hard time explaining the functional calendars of ancient cultures developed in a time when all study of the sky was astrology and there was no such thing as astronomy while still claiming astrology fails to predict the behavior of macro objects. All early astronomical models are actually astrological models.
It would be a rookie mistake if it were possible to have a sustainable societal model that allowed true freedom of speech without anonymity.
The only model I can think of where there is even the potential for such a thing is a benevolent yet powerful dictator/king. But sooner or later he will die or be overthrown.
"(On the other hand, it's worth pointing out that there are now free encryption-centric apps for voice and text communication that give ordinary people privacy options, and both unlocked phones and inexpensive data plans are far closer to the American norm than they were a few years ago.)"
Mobile phones are rooted by both the carrier and/or your employer and provide a direct backdoor to the government. There is absolutely no security/privacy on a mobile phone. There isn't much point in encrypting your voice/text when they have the key.
Approximate yes, but in theory the approximation diminishes until such time as it is indistinguishable from the actual answer.
Our short lives and limitations do cause us to have attachment to things that have stood extremely tiny tests of time and perspective though. Relativity has been around for how long again? Could you show me how big that mark is on even the tiny geologic timescale let alone the believed age of our universe? Measurements of radiation seem to match it? Cool. But the timescale we believe that represents it is itself part of the model and instruments used to do the testing were built with the model. Does it all still work if we keep measuring on a relatively small sample like over the course of a million years from multiple points 100 million light years apart?
We can't help how little time we've actually been around and the even smaller amount of time we've been doing science. We can't help that currently we are limited to doing it from a relatively tiny perspective in a massive space. But what we can do is acknowledge those things are true and that we do not even have the perspective to comprehend a statistically relevant sampling how things work so our attachment level to the best we've found so far should be no more or less than playing a devil's advocate role of criticism.
Are our models wrong? The answer is almost certain that they are wrong but at least in the near term are useful.
When you are talking about something like the standard model you do have to make a certain amount of allowance in that testing for the standard model has ruled out a rather massive number of experiments.
Propose string theory 200 years ago and it would be the leading model today as it would have made lots of predictions and all the experiments used to prove the standard model would have instead been used to prove the string model.
