What's wrong with LDAP for users? (I'm trying to think of a negative, and can't).

CA is crazy:

It's illegal, on a school campus carry a razor blade or box cutter

So... How am I to open a box.

Also the law against locking blades. Fuck folding knives without locking blades. I prefer to keep my fingers

Bingo.

The key is to start this conversation from the beginning with anything/everything.

MDM - mobile device management, is the only way I know of.

You can also try Universal android debloat.

It can disable Gallery, though that has its own issues on Samsung.

Well, 300 years is recent to Brits. Give em time to try it out, and circulate their favorites.

Oh, my poor child. I'd mail you one if I could.

Alton covers it in Good Eats "Popover Sometime". Popovers use a similar batter.

Stupid easy to make. My mother wasn't much of a cook (bless her heart), and still taught us to make them as kids.

And funnel cakes are arguably Eastern European/Germanic. It's a similar batter as Dutch Baby (think Dutch as in "Deutsch"), aka German Pancake (and also popovers). There's a slight change for each one, but essentially an eggy batter with no leavening.

Though I'd guess every country has a version of it, and brought it with them to the US.

Hot Dish!

(what most people call casserole)

Partly.

I'd say that impacted the entire US. The SNL skit Coneheads was all about this with "mass quantities".

Keep in mind the impact of the Depression on people too. Quality isn't a concern when you're not even getting enough to eat (my parents, but especially grandparents can/could speak to this). My father was always hungry until he was drafted.

Studs Terkel's Hard Times should be required reading today.

Twentieth century food production was a godsend to anyone born before the 1950's.

Plus the Midwest was heavily settled by Nordic folks and Eastern European, bringing their food traditions with them.

From their About page:

Project Liberty is stitching together an ecosystem of technologists, academics, policymakers and citizens committed to building a people-powered internet—where the data is ours to manage, the platforms are ours to govern, and the power is ours to reclaim.

I just heard Frank McCourt on a podcast plugging his book "Our Biggest Fight".

It was great to hear someone with a voice talking about the problems we see with user data and social media, especially the problem of the Social Graph (the map of all your social connections, which includes weights and values).

Their solution to this problem was to develop a social networking protocol that enables any compliant app to use (think how email works - a standard protocol, SMTP), but encrypted and user data controlled by the user. They call it DSNP - Decentralized Social Networking Protocol.

I see both sides of their approach, I'm kind of ambivalent, lots of concern here long-term.

They've already acquired MeWe and have converted some users to this protocol. He wants to buy the US side of TikTok (if it becomes available) and convert it to DSNP, which would encrypt about 30 million US accounts.

I'm always cynical about stuff that sounds promising, but I don't have the tech background to really dissect what they're doing. Anyone understand this better?

 

I have no idea where to even start to combat such things. Healthcare professionals must appease the masses of their peers.

I've seen this first hand in the corporate world, where it's called a 360 review. It's a popularity contest.

While there's value in the idea of such reviews, they're ripe for abuse. It codifies an environment of dishonesty - where people who are good at masking (err, sociopaths anyone) excel.
