That's a simple and effective way to block a lot of bots, gonna implement that on my sites. Thanks!


It's probably whatever "1 cup" means to the patient. The researchers would want them to stick to their status quo for the best results.

For example, 1 cup of coffee for my wife involves a blend of coffee and espresso beans with no adders, but 1 cup to her dad means lighter roast bean with milk. Both options have different caffeine contents and nutritional values.


No. It's not considered interstate commerce when one purchases goods or services in a state one is visiting. No goods or services crossed state lines.


Not at all true. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commerce_Clause

"The Supreme Court issued several opinions supporting that use of the Commerce Clause. Heart of Atlanta Motel v. United States, 379 U.S. 241 (1964), ruled that Congress could regulate a business that served mostly interstate travelers."

Heart of Atlanta Motel made the argument that people who wanted to rent a room were neither goods nor services which crossed state lines, and argued they had a constitutional right of association so should be free to racially discriminate.

The Interstate Commerce Clause even applies to crops you grow for yourself, which aren't on the market. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wickard_v._Filburn

"An Ohio farmer, Roscoe Filburn, was growing wheat to feed animals on his own farm. The U.S. government had established limits on wheat production, based on the acreage owned by a farmer, to stabilize wheat prices and supplies. Filburn grew more than was permitted and so was ordered to pay a penalty. In response, he said that because his wheat was not sold, it could not be regulated as commerce, let alone "interstate" commerce (described in the Constitution as "Commerce ... among the several states"). The Supreme Court disagreed ... The Court decided that Filburn's wheat-growing activities reduced the amount of wheat he would buy for animal feed on the open market, which is traded nationally, is thus interstate, and is therefore within the scope of the Commerce Clause. Although Filburn's relatively small amount of production of more wheat than he was allotted would not affect interstate commerce itself, the cumulative actions of thousands of other farmers like Filburn would become substantial. Therefore, the Court decided that the federal government could regulate Filburn's production."

This interpretation also applies to medical marijuana, quoting again https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commerce_Clause

"In a 2005 medical marijuana case, Gonzales v. Raich, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the argument that the ban on growing medical marijuana for personal use exceeded the powers of Congress under the Commerce Clause. Even if no goods were sold or transported across state lines, the Court found that there could be an indirect effect on interstate commerce and relied heavily on a New Deal case, Wickard v. Filburn, which held that the government may regulate personal cultivation and consumption of crops because the aggregate effect of individual consumption could have an indirect effect on interstate commerce."


This is bonkers. Thanks for posting it.


If only constitutional interpretation were that straightforward.


Like what?


I agree that probably the three mentioned projects don't total a 6 million USD budget, which is the CEO salary at Mozilla, but is only close to it.


I have been using Matomo along side GA4 for a month now. The amount of useful data coming from Matomo, even anonymized, is more expansive and easier to access than GA4. Plus self-hosting was pretty easy and it keeps the data on our servers, which just feels right.


And amazing


Any time the government tries to do something for The People, the wealthy and their mouthpieces get a portion of the population to believe the much needed help is actually evil socialism/communism and will destroy their way of life.

America has been propagandized to by the wealthy for a century and this is the end result. The world's richest person reforming the government for profit.


It's vibes based FUD around medicine and government spending from people that have done nothing to look into it but talk in a bar with their friends about it. They have no idea how to articulate what is happening, where we're spending the money, how it scales with other things we spend money on. It's just headlines.


Made the switch from BitWarden to ProtonPass a few months ago. I'm very happy with the switch despite Proton Pass missing some android functionality BitWarden has.


I learned more about DNS from a cat than I've learned in 15 years of web dev and devops


Been using KDE Connect for years and it can do exactly that, along with clipboard sharing, SMS, and device notifications.

https://kdeconnect.kde.org/


I recently started using KDE Connect because I was fed up with the way I had to send photos from my Android phone to my Ubuntu desktop. I usually did that by email, or in some rare cases I plugged a USB cable in to connect.

KDE works over Bluetooth, I guess, but it was super fast for transferring around 20 to 30 photos at the same (maybe more might also work, didn't try that).

But the most important thing was that I could look at the thumbnails of the photos before marking them for transfer. This process was always very slow with an USB connection, because it was always trying to 'thumbnailize' every photo in the folder (which were 100s or 1000s). Picking the right photos by obscure datetime-name is not fun.


That's the #1 solution for devices under my control. For the rare cases, where I need to transfer personal data to/from corporate devices, I just use https://webwormhole.io/


I really wish this was the One True Way, but unfortunately I couldn't get this working. Installed fine but then, nothing.


On windows I had to explicitly allow the executable in the windows firewall. I didn't get any popups or warnings that it got blocked. After that, it worked fine


On Linux I also needed to adapt the firewall rules to allow it.
