Â Amazon payments, Paypal, and Bitcoin, if memory serves. Â I have like 10$ worth of BTC floating around from that. Â Personally, I just liked that they passed LibreJS - not many sites like that do. -

Annah (maiyannah@community.highlandarrow.com)'s status on Friday, 21-Oct-2016 21:22:26 UTC Annah @purplehippo In this case it's the services. Â TW, NYT, Twitter, facebook, etc, all using the same single DNS provider, so one if just one of them gets hit with a big enough DNS they all do. Â Probably something done out of Silicon Valley chummy deals more than anything that they're all using the same company.
DNS is *meant* to be distributed to be able to absorb exactly this kind of thing, but big businesses like their centralized silos. -
Annah (maiyannah@community.highlandarrow.com)'s status on Friday, 21-Oct-2016 21:12:46 UTC Annah Another DDOS on a DNS provider, another going on about how "fragile" DNS is that misses the actual problem of many people relying on a single, centralized point of failure. -
Annah (maiyannah@community.highlandarrow.com)'s status on Friday, 21-Oct-2016 12:51:50 UTC Annah @clacke @nerthos It's become trendy in academic circles in particular to actively reject skepticism. Â I regard this as related to the establishment as it were trying to reassert itself. Â An educated populace is not an easy one to control with propoganda, so they want an uneducated one. -
Annah (maiyannah@community.highlandarrow.com)'s status on Friday, 21-Oct-2016 12:32:49 UTC Annah @nerthos There have been laws passed since then that require this but in the past when I was a child it was acceptable to reuse syringes that were properly sterilized using an specialized device.
It's not even that these devices are ineffective or bad - they're quite effective and using them reduces waste. Â It's the human element - people cutting corners in health care has huge consequences and all it takes is a forgetful nurse or a doctor that doesn't want to wait the about 10 minutes those devices take to work and someone's life gets ... interesting. -
Annah (maiyannah@community.highlandarrow.com)'s status on Friday, 21-Oct-2016 12:25:10 UTC Annah @nerthos I'm actually exactly the kind of person most would assume is anti-vaccination because my condition was caused by an improperly sterilized needle used for one, basically, but thinking something is bad because it fucked me up when someone didn't do it right would be quite silly. -
Annah (maiyannah@community.highlandarrow.com)'s status on Friday, 21-Oct-2016 12:08:25 UTC Annah @nerthos It's somewhat a sign of privilege, I'd say, that people are in a position where they complain about free vaccinations. Â Others, in less affluent countries, would do much to have such access to medication. -
Annah (maiyannah@community.highlandarrow.com)'s status on Friday, 21-Oct-2016 10:43:41 UTC Annah However Dr. Hannah Dahlen, a professor of midwifery at the University of Western Sydney and the spokeswoman for the Australian College of Midwives, worries the crackdown may push people with anti-vaccination views further underground. "The worry is the confirmation bias that can occur, because people might say: 'There you go, this is proof that you can't even have an alternative opinion.' It might in fact just give people more fuel for their belief systems."Â
-----
I honestly don't care if it does "validate" anti-vaccination-pushing medical personell frankly, no medical practitioner has any business promoting non-scientifically-backed views that are of significant harm to their patients. Â This is the exact opposite of "do no harm". Â The affected patients lives are much more important a concern than what the people being disciplined think of the discipline. -
