> I don’t know if I will ever buy a Framework laptop. Most of my workflows now revolve around macOS,
Why we are reading opinion pieces from Apple sheep that does not known anything?
Framework has its place. But bigger problem is that industry is dominated by idiots, who should not be able to share their opinion, on things they did not even try!!!
Replaceability of an SSD doesn't provide much day-to-day benefit once it's installed and encrypted; for corporate users using enterprise images, removable storage may be a vulnerability. Buy an SSD up to your cloud storage capacity, double it, and call it a day.
You are confusing science with the social process of science and how it is applied in academia.
Science is a way to get to the truth. It has no concept of money or grant makers, or academic institutions.
The social process of science is more complicated and yes, academia has developed some perverse incentives to keep the publishing mill running, regardless of scientific insights.
But that has nothing to do with the article. I'd recommend that you actually go and read the relativity of wrong, it's not that long and most of it is just as accurate today as it was then.
Yes, science and academia are not the same, but this distinction is largely meaningless precisely because as you yourself say "the social process of science is more complicated" as in science does not happen in a vacuum. Science is largely by product of academia, if you will.
While the theoretical scientific method itself may be a way to get to actual truth, the published science - knowledge that will be known, preserved and built upon - is a result of academic process, not some ultimate truth-seeking. In a practical sense science is the social process of science even if there is innate ontological difference.

Here is your problem.
Some founders milk company directly on bonuses and pay, there is no "grand exit" when they go public. I think you may be subconsciously aware of that, maybe there is some hidden regret or self-hate etc... Continuing with this frugality may not be way forward.
I would suggest:
- get out of NY, some nice environment near sea or forest, work remotely
- prepare for your exit. Move out of NY to minimize income tax etc..
- can you actually become CEO? If not, it is not your business anymore, not your problem
- find way to increase your take-home money. For start you could pay yourself for overtimes. Maybe if you move out of NY, you may need office there and so on...
- personal brand is worth quite a lot. Maybe there is way to use this startup to build your own.
Mastodon is often used to distribute illegal content. If you self host you need to be ready to deal with this stuff. Like with self hosted SMTP server.
> It’s mostly for me and friends I know personally – nothing like the bigger, public ones.
I'd agree with you if it had thousands of users, but not when the user count is 8. If you have 8 users on your SMTP server, damn easy to know with certainty if any of them did anything that might be considered malicious.
In reality, it barely makes a difference if you want to avoid hotlinking (and that has other bad privacy privacy implications, now all your users load bad content).
Law enforcement makes no difference between proxying, caching and storing indefinitely. At least not during all the steps that precede your hardware being seized.
Not sure refilling works with HP’s DRM-equipped cartridges. I think they will refuse to print once their counter shows 0, no matter if there’s ink inside.
My dad used to be in the refill business selling parts, inks and all needed to get it done. Im not sure about this particular model but the DRM can be worked around in a couple of ways: swapping for a 3rd party drm chip, using a reset device or some older models just click “print anyway”.
Edit: typo
I’d imagine things could be worse nowadays.
He used to buy products from an American company so it should be available in the US too.
> Another data point: of the 20 newest posts on this forum, 12 are about Twitter not responding to the standard API access request process, and 4 seem to be about API bugs. This has been the pattern for a while now. It seems like Twitter is now largely ignoring all manual processes and bugs.
Non-responsiveness is pretty normal for large corporations. Try to send email to Google or Facebook. Calling their products "unsupported" and "unmaintained" may actually fit dictionary definition!
Stuff like this is why I refuse to return back to office. There is some sort of relationship play between "nice guys" and managers. Both of them are refusing to do their work, "nice guy" to complete his work and manager to manage. And somehow I am part of this, and have to work extra weekends!
I don't think i've ever been asked to work weekends in any job i've had. Its not normal in the industry for employers to require this (except if you are oncall)
Anyone who thinks it doesn't have disparate impact probably never had to pump and store breast milk at work just to commute it back to a child at the end of the day.
And it also has disparate impact for people with disabilities. I promise you that people on chemo or with IBS are more productive not having to badge into the office several times per week.
