The mullet of the car world, except reversed?

Chicago got a lot of overdue material back after they eliminated fines. I bet that someone who plans on stealing a book or books isn't planning on paying any fines, anyway. Fines won't stop them; that takes other means, such as preventing fake library accounts to get around limits on the number of items you can have checked out at once. The fines affect only those who were actually planning to return the material, so it is not surprising that over the long run, fines don't affect the return rate. As a practical matter, people tend to avoid unpleasant or embarrassing situations. If someone misplaced a book and fines have been accumulating for months, he or she might avoid going the the library to avoid being castigated for the increasing fine. That reduces library patronage without a meaningful improvement in return rate.

IT security and cybercrime insurance are not mutually exclusive. The process of getting insurance and can prompt spending on security to get a lower rate. We are going through that process right now as the private equity firm that bought our company has said that we need to get a quote on cybersecurity insurance. We have accelerated security improvements that were underway. The insurance company does a detailed risk evaluation, and it was clear that the more secure you are, the less you pay.

Princeton eliminated student loans from financial aid awards 20 years ago.

A few weeks ago the NY times had an article on Doppelgängers, people that look like twins but are unrelated. Looking at the pictures, and it is easy to think that your face is not unique. In fact, I saw a Doppelgänger for myself on an episode of Hill Street Blue back in the 80's. The aforementioned article said that people who look similar share significantly more genes than people that don't look similar. I wonder if you could use ancestry.com to find your Doppelgängers? This sounds like something that should be incorporated into a movie plot.

I've done it. It worked well.

It is used to treat high blood pressure. A dermatologist prescribed it for my wife, who has been taking it for a couple months now to combat thinning hair. It works. She does have more facial hair, but it is very fine and doesn't grow that quickly compared to the coarse bristles that I scrape off my face every morning. She has a nifty little battery-operated hair trimmer that is far kinder to her face than a standard razor.

There is discussion on SlickDeals. One poster said:

I think you don't understand the difference between the various Office products. Office Professional Plus is only sold by Microsoft through volume licensing to large organizations. It is never sold directly to consumers. This seller bought volume licensing keys and is reselling them in violation of Microsoft's terms of use. The fact that they tell you to activate the product within 30 days is a HUGE red flag. Legitimate retail keys can be activated at any time.

Michael Pollan's book "How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence" covers a multitude of topics related to psilocybin. It was an interesting read.

Just to be clear, there was not an order targeting her, but she was concerned that with anti-immigrant sentiment, such a thing would be possible

Green card holders do not have a US passport. My wife had a green card and her foreign passport. She got a US passport by becoming a US citizen. One of a number of reasons she became a US citizen was so that INS couldn't do anything to her because of some executive order targeting foreign citizens even if they held a green card.

We use Gmail and work, and sometimes I find that its search can be maddening: I know I have an email on a topic, but I can't find it using search. Sequentially paging through the giant laundry basket to find what you need sucks. That may say more about Gmail's search capabilities rather than the idea of dynamically organizing information based on content.

+1 for Bitwarden. I prefer it to LastPass. Worth $10 for premium to support them.

I certainly agree that it went downhill steeply after they added all the booking and tours, impeding the utility of the site. I wonder if they needed the money to survive, or if venture capital/the stock market says it is not enough to simply be a profitable company (if they were) with a well-liked product, you must grow to dominate the market or die trying.

Then again, if you are small, you are always vulnerable to one of the big boys deciding they want to eat your lunch. Problems either way.
