Why not just have an easy button that you can click saying Do Not Allow Reply All?

I know that there are some ways you can limit reply-all availability, like in the URL linked here. But there's a note: If recipients open this email in other mail applications except Microsoft Outlook, such as opening on web page via web mailbox, they can reply all this email.

I'm semi-tech savvy but I'm no programmer. It feels like it should be easy to do, so either I'm totally wrong or email services are really missing out on a great thing they could do.

This report summarizes insights from the inaugural 2024 Open Source Software Funding Survey, a collaboration between GitHub, the Linux Foundation, and researchers from Harvard University. The objective of the survey was to better understand how organizations fund, contribute to, and otherwise support open s ource software.

Survey Respondents 159 respondents to the survey collectively contribute $1.7 billion (2023 USD) in annual value to open source. 86% comes in the form of contribution labor by employees. Extrapolating survey to all organizations active in open source Using the survey responses on contribution, we estimate that organizations contribute $7.7 billion annually to OSS.

Summary

California lawmakers are introducing new bills to strengthen abortion access in response to potential nationwide restrictions under Donald Trump’s presidency.

The proposals include expanding emergency abortion care, increasing access to birth control for Medi-Cal recipients, and improving licensing for alternative birthing centers.

With abortion rights enshrined in California’s constitution since 2022, the state aims to remain a sanctuary for reproductive care.

I really hoped Matt Parker would have shown how to construct these divisibility rules, so I came up with my own method. Find prime P and natural number N such that P*N = a *10^b + c
The smaller a and c are, the better. b determines where you split the number.

Example: P=313 N=16 a=5 b=3 c=8

313*16=5008  
313*16=5 *10^3 + 8  

Now we can test for 223795=313*13*11*5
Split 223795 after the b:th number, 3rd in this case.
223795/10^3=223.795 decimal point separates the components A, B

Multiply the A=223 by c and subtract from the rest B=795 multiplied by a

B*a-A*c=  
795*5-223*8=2191  

Repeat if needed till you get to small enough number.

2191/10^3=2.191  
191*5-2*8=939  

which is easy to see that's 3*313
Some bad combinations don't reduce the starting number but they are at least always divisible by P. Those cases could be called Parker divisibility rules.

You can also see that when c is negative, A*c is added rather than subtracted, which explains why some method add or subtract like Vsauce vs James.
This is just a funny trick to simulate division and modulus by 10^b to get smaller number, while preserving the congruence.

It's possible I made mistake somewhere, but was able to get correct answers with other few examples.

By "skilled immigrants" I mean people with advance degrees (PhD, MD, ...) holding all types of highly technical and managerial positions.

Asking this because skilled immigrants, at least in theory:

  1. knows, and has first-hand experience of how much bullshit one has to go through to immigrate,
  2. has enough bargaining power to move to another immigration-friendly country,
  3. let's just say that the upcoming US policies don't seem to be friendly to any immigrants at all...

But then US tech and research are supported largely by the same skilled immigrants. So I'm curious how that is supposed to play out...

Sorry this is a bit of a strange question.

P.S.: I'm... not asking for a friend. I've been constantly worried for the past two weeks; I try not to rush to conclusions, so the fact that I'm still worried concerns me. Double quotation marks because in the US it's literally the same government agency that manages all immigrants no matter how they got in the country (highly skilled worker, family of citizen, asylum, literally just crossed the border, ...)
