One thing I heard in the Democrat debates last night that interested me was one candidate's proposal to provide credits to stay-at-home parents (they said mothers, but...yeah) to compensate/reward them for the labor that (presumably) they provide to the household. This is a fascinating proposal because it's been an issue in #economics that household labor isn't commonly accounted for in most economic models. One of my favorite papers ever is about this.

#LinuxRocks is updated to v3.0.0 --Greg

#GPA (#GNU #Privacy Assistant) is GUI for #GnuPG.

GPA simplifies many privacy tasks, like key management, signing, verification, and more. GPA features an easy file selector and scratchpad for making signed and encrypted messages or files for quick sending. GPA also has a simple dialog for managing OpenPGP cards/physical encryption keys.

This is something @Ben_Cates@twitter.com kinda drilled into my head as senior web engineer at System76: it might not be your fault, but it is definitely your problem.

It sucks, but it’s true so often. 😭

RT @vanschneider@twitter.com

@CassidyJames@twitter.com Totally not your fault. But totally your problem now too (as smart oven manufacturer).

The issue with the upcoming #USCensus regarding the citizenship question is overblown.

There are only *two* things that *must* be answered on the census form: The physical address in question (which is usually pre-filled), and the number of alive & born humans in the address on April 1st.

All other questions are optional.

Source: I worked for the US Census in 2010.

I have transcended to beyond Evil: I just asked nonchalantly what happens to data when a container fails during a transaction.

Then asked how data consistency is preserved during deployment.

The silence is deafening.

Systems design and programming is not an amateur activity.

Hey guys just wanted to let everybody know that letschatlinux.com has moved to freenode at #letschatlinux. Come and join us!

The longer I go without logging into Twitter and Facebook, the better I feel.

I realized I've done a lot of work on Ephemeral over the past couple of months, but the announcement post doesn't mention any of it. So here's a new blog post with details of everything new in Ephemeral since last time! https://medium.com/@cassidyjames/major-updates-to-ephemeral-f48fb86b57e7

It's always fun to see more projects saying "use our 1-line installer!" Just `curl https://definitelynotgonnahurt.lol/badideas.sh | sudo -E bash `

Don't worry though, we used TLS, so you know it's safe!
