<p>It sounds like PHP and JavaScript all over again. The barrier was low and a lot of slop was produced by their users. Eventually due to huge demand, a lot of sophisticated things emerged (think V8, various frameworks, other browser gymnastics and evolving standards, etc).</p>

<p>This is on point but someone is taking offense by being called a "weirdo" (thus the down votes, I think). Yes, we are weirdos on alternate social media, just like we are weirdos who use Linux, Emacs, write Lisp, etc.. It's weird, i.e.: Unusual. "Geek" might have been a better term to use though.<p>Geeks and weirdos donate to EFF. :)</p>

<p>I think we can all agree that racism is a bad thing but staunchly declaring "anti-racism" as your priority seems to veer into the territory of consistently finding racism where there is none. It sounds suspiciously like historic witch hunting (and I hate that this term has been recently overused practically to the point of ruination).</p>

<p>Not capturing the <i>weapons officer</i> (the pilot was quickly rescued) was a <i>missed opportunity</i> for Iran, not a <i>failure</i>. The Trump Admin was <i>incredibly</i> lucky there is not currently a hostage situation and no one else was killed or injured[1] in the rescue. "Merely" 10s or 100s(?) of millions of dollars in equipment was lost in the process.<p>A bunch of US servicemembers have died or been maimed to achieve a rocky ceasefire with the end state looking worse than before the operation.<p>I certainly feel for the civilians affected, but from a pure "America First" perspective, this is a complete and total US failure.<p>[1]: Though I'm skeptical about the truth in this when officials have been bragging about helicopters with bullet holes in them.</p>

<p>Maybe they should go be the boots on the ground for the next quagmire if it's so important to them? Commander in Chief Bonespurs and the Secretary of Booze can lead the charge straight up the Straight.<p>Or maybe they should just focus on being Americans in America and some day Iran will sort itself out without the US' "help".</p>

<p>So we go back to all out war and a closed straight when no agreement is made.<p>The leadership clearly doesn't matter as neither the regime has collapsed nor have moderates emerged.<p>Claims of destruction of "all" military are continually invalidated by the ongoing drone and missile strikes.</p>

<p>The Iranian regime doesn't care what "age" their people are living in and have been stockpiling weapons for enough decades to follow through on their threats.<p>And every time I read "we have destroyed 3000% of Iran's weapons capability", I read about more missiles and drones flying.</p>

<p>Exactly. 39 days (so far) of bombing will only convince Iran and other countries around the world of <i>why</i> they need to obtain nuclear weapons <i>at any cost</i>. It is existential.<p>This current US administration is incredibly shortsighted.</p>

<p>Americans need a government issued digital signing token to prove their identity digitally. There are a lot of services demanding ID verification these days and use a 3rd party to process driver's licenses and faces. It's super inefficient, full of friction, and probably unregulated (dodgy).<p>Someone claiming to work for the US Digital Services replied to me here years ago that this was being worked on in relation to the easily compromised SSN but I'd say all bets are off on a consumer friendly government service like that now.</p>

<p><i>It's not</i>. Support is about on par with Google for SMBs. I had a client get locked out of the admin panel for about 2 weeks before getting through with support.<p>The difference is that everyone's account kept working during that time so business kept on as usual, just the admins couldn't change anything.<p>The sad thing is I don't think anyone did anything unusual and it was some kind of bug of Microsoft's end.</p>

<p>Recently I cleaned up a SMB client's Workspace users after archiving their data (former employee accounts that had been languishing). In the space of a day or two I did the following for half the ~20 total accounts:<p><pre><code>  - Moved to no 2FA sub-organization
  - Reset password
  - Disabled security check for ten minutes
  - Logged in as the user in a fresh browser profile
  - Exported data with Takeout
  - Deleted the account in the admin console
</code></pre>
I fully expected to hit some kind of roadblock or delay or for alarm bells to go off for the other admins, but nope, I literally "absconded" with hundreds of gigabytes of data and nuked half the org in short order.<p>There is a Workspace Admin option to export users' data but it warns of an automatic 48 hour delay to let "other admins take action" if something is amiss. The client wanted the task done before getting hit with the full monthly license fees again so I had to go the manual route.<p>Granted, out of paranoia, I was using the client's office VPN as my traffic egress so maybe that helped.</p>

<p>They did spur engineering effort to develop ICEs such that <i>regular passenger cars</i> in the USA could do better than 10 mpg.<p>It was something at least. Now we have a lot of people who <i>choose</i> to drive far less efficient behemoths than the much more efficient ICE  (or hybrid) passenger cars currently available.</p>
