maybe the 'three words' model? Seems like it would be specific enough to locate a bench
Re:Married Women Could Be Stopped from Voting Under Save Act on Thursday February 13, 2025 @01:35PM (#43039479)
you are assuming this is a 'bug' - it likely isn't. They actually want to make it harder for women to vote...this is done on purpose.

The Old Reader
The idea of balance is BS - it's a meme created to confuse people. What the media should provide is true and accurate information. Creating 'balance' doesn't do that. Sometimes there aren't two sides to a story.
agreed - there is also opportunity cost. While that particular project - may be earning that dollar - putting those resources somewhere else might be more profitable....
Re:EVs Are Selling Well for Everyone Except Tesla on Friday June 21, 2024 @10:33AM (#40750049)
I don't think this just about 'the competition getting wiser' or 'the market for EV's getting bigger'. People aren't buying Tesla because of Musk. Maybe not every missed sale is for that reason - but if you think for one minute that his behavior and his positions doesn't affect car sales - you're simply mistaken.

I have domains unable to connect to SMTP servers since Saturday. The only real response to trouble tickets is 'we're working on it'. Any idea what happened to them.

Re:Is It Worth Encrypting? on Wednesday January 11, 2023 @05:49PM (#34346214)
If the data is important enough to you - can't you just guard against losing the key? write it down - put it in a saftey deposit box or something similar.

Framing the choice around an inevitable loss of key seems unecessary to me.

Re:Evernote to be acquired by Bending Spoons on Wednesday November 16, 2022 @10:15AM (#33624402)
I do miss the old Evernote. Many of the 'enhancements' over the last few years just get in the way of the main benifit of the tool.

The Carver Method of Board Governance is one of the best I've found. I"ve implemented it successfully and seen great results with actually focusing a non-profit boadrd. The Board's primary responsibility is not fund raising, not organazation managment - but governance.....
