Thanks for your post. What psychedelic would you recommend for this?
How is the move working out for you, btw?
Does this imply that a company wanting to stick with an arbitration clause is better off relocating outside California?

chethan177 Nov 13, 2017 12:48 PM (in response to Taylor E) Note: This solution might be specific to High Sierra

Try this: Solution 1: On startup, click on "Other" Enter username: root and leave the password empty. Press enter. (Try twice) If you're able to log in (hurray, you're the admin now), then head over to System Preferences>Users & Groups and create a new Admin account. Now restart and login to the new Admin Account (you may need a new Apple Id). Once you're logged into this new Admin Id, you can again proceed to your System Preferences>Users & Groups. Open the Lock Icon with your new Admin ID/Password. Assign "Allow user to administer this computer" to your original Apple ID. Restart.

I don't think this bodes well for Amazon, in particular. Trump has a grudge against Bezos and it won't be out of character for Trump to hint to Thiel to express his loyalty by being harsh on Amazon

This article does not reference a source for the quote but author writes this about Osama - "He repeatedly asserted that the only way to drive the U.S. from the Muslim world and defeat its satraps was by drawing Americans into a series of small but expensive wars that would ultimately bankrupt them. “Bleeding the U.S.,” in his words. The United States, first under George W. Bush and then Barack Obama, rushed right into bin Laden’s trap." http://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/osamas-ghost...

The author says that Wilson's new racquet with Spin Effect technology doubled the spin on his shots compared to his normal racquet. Now that sounds mind-bending!

Especially when Wilson's site claims that technology provides the benefit of 10% more spin - http://www.wilson.com/en-us/tennis/spin-effect/innovation/

Doesn't mention WebRTC in the upcoming version of Safari. The info is not mean't for a technical audience so i imagine this is still an unknown for now.
Yup. The new bus service in SF - http://rideleap.com - classifies the bus drivers as independents. From their ToS (excuse the all caps) https://app.leaptransit.com/webterms - LEAP DOES NOT PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION SERVICES, AND LEAP IS NOT A TRANSPORTATION CARRIER. IT IS UP TO THE DRIVER OR VEHICLE OPERATOR TO OFFER TRANSPORTATION SERVICES WHICH MAY BE ARRANGED THROUGH USE OF THE SERVICES
Re:Leap: Your daily commute redesigned on Tuesday March 17, 2015 @06:17PM (#9221987)
Anyone know Leap's arragement with their drivers? Their TOS makes it seem like the Uber for buses.

From Terms of service - "LEAP DOES NOT PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION SERVICES, AND LEAP IS NOT A TRANSPORTATION CARRIER. IT IS UP TO THE DRIVER OR VEHICLE OPERATOR TO OFFER TRANSPORTATION SERVICES WHICH MAY BE ARRANGED THROUGH USE OF THE SERVICES"

The original article does not talk about ad blockers causing YouTube to lose out on revenue. Looks like the GTN article is making this up!
