science and music. and beer. and dogs.
I like this take. A lot. But I can’t just pass by here and not point out that
The problems you’re talking about are not problems of hosting email. Hosting email is trivially simple.
The anticompetitive practices of big tech have to be dealt with a different way. Requiring all schools to host their own email would go a very long way to ending one of those practices. You would see the opaque, unresponsive spam filterers disappear overnight.
I’m aware of all of that, but wasn’t looking to write a novel about it.
I am of the opinion that feeding students’ information to AI and to advertising algorithms is not a legitimate educational purpose. Particularly when hosting your own email that doesn’t do that is so trivially simple.
ETA: btw, my nickname is potateo. You could say that’s an arcane spelling of potato!
In the US we have a law that says we must keep student records confidential. Yet at my school our email for both faculty and students is provided by TinyFlaccid. I know for a fact that they are scanning and indexing all of that email because that’s the only way they could make reply suggestions. They also have copilot enabled and there is no way to turn it off.
The number of dimensions in space is three, and that has nothing at all to do with language. When you eliminate one of the dimensions (“up” in your example), you are left with two, and you’re describing dimensions in a plane.
The reason all languages use four words for the two dimensions is because there are two directions per dimension.
ETA: why there are three (plus one for time), and how do we know that, are very interesting questions (to me).
The only way we can make moral decisions is by doing our best to anticipate the results.
The business of being human and the business of speculating about the future are one and the same.
What is the point of this hostility? Do you not get the point of this community?
Anyone who has done any fight training at all, even for simulations, could “wipe the floor” with me.
But Keanu could wipe anything he wants with me, if you catch my drift.
Murder has a very specific legal definition. That is not what Matthew Broderick did.
indeed. don’t know where my mind was…
ts eliot did alright
What you’re describing is just email.
Yes, you can host an email server.
Maybe what you’re asking is if this can be done within a private network, so you wouldn’t need to buy a domain and set up dns and all. The answer is again yes, but it wouldn’t be much good. Either both servers are on the same LAN, or they each have a static IP that is known and trusted by the other. In both cases there are much better ways to communicate than email.
I apologize for not directly answering your question, but I think you could benefit from this insight that helped me tremendously:
Boredom comes from within. Nothing is objectively boring. Introspection is your friend. Understand what is happening inside your mind when you find yourself bored, and you can turn it off - just that simple.
Pretti’s death may have turned the tide. If he had fired his weapon or even unholstered it, that would not be true.
I share your pessimism. My answer had nothing to do with what might actually happen.
This isn’t the first time the US has done
“directly capturing a sovereign leader”
Or just a US revolution could work. We don’t have to kill everyone.
The “86 47 guy” did not “allude to threatening” the president.
