I set up greylisting on our MTA and eventually had to remove it. While I was okay with waiting a while to receive a message other people were incredibly frustrated with it. It was particularly troublesome when a service would send them a code in email, it didn't arrive, and then they would ask for another one. The first code would finally arrive, but it was marked as invalid because the second code that they had asked for was now the valid one.

It just wasn't worth the trouble and headaches.
If you are looking for e2e encryption, it all depends on which features you need (like voice messages) and how good usability and UX needs to be for your family and friends to adopt the new tool.

Some candidates are

Lots of Chinese staffed sweat shops are manufacturing "Made in Italy" products.
Surgical masks are designed to prevent you spreading viruses. That is the type most people wear in Japan. N95 masks are designed to protect you.
Difficult to speculate. Maybe there were less travelers flocking to China? Maybe there were less phones manufactured and tested in the factories?
Because having a special term for something implies its widespread nature.
I stand by every comment I’ve made. None of which included personal attacks. Most of which included citations.

Your personal attack is entirely inappropriate. I suggest perhaps it’s you that should take a break from the discussion.

As we can see just looking at how different countries have responded, there is a wide spectrum of responses, and countries have been successful getting R0 below 1 with different approaches other than total shutdown.

Even the Imperial College report notes that there are no easy choices here;

> We do not consider the ethical or economic implications of either strategy here, except to note that there is no easy policy decision to be made. Suppression, while successful to date in China and South Korea, carries with it enormous social and economic costs which may themselves have significant impact on health and well-being in the short and longer-term.

It’s crucial to note that there cannot be population health without economic health. It is not a choice between shutting down to save lives versus keeping the economy running and costing lives.

Computational Biologist Francois Balloux (Director of UGI at UCL) raises the point;

> The covid-19 pandemic is not just an epidemiological problem. It is a ‘Global Health’ problem, that can only be tackled with an integrated and global approach. For example, there is no such thing as a choice between managing the pandemic vs. protecting the economy. (11/12)

> Health and the economy are closely linked. The correlation between per-capita GDP and health (life expectancy) is essentially perfect. If the covid-19 pandemic leads to a global economy collapse, many more lives will be lost than covid-19 would ever be able to claim. (12/12)

Well yeah, sushi is the rice itself, while sashimi is the raw fish itself. If you have a mixture of both, it's still called it sushi. You can also have sushi with vegetables or fruits and no fish or meat. Your sushi can come with or without seaweed.

Korea has a similar dish called kimbap, which literally translates to "seaweed rice", so having something other than a roll wouldn't be kimbap anymore. Also, Korean kimbap uses a different recipe for the rice (usually sesame oil and salt), so it can't even be considered a special case of sushi (rice with vinegar and sugar).

I feel far too many people don't understand what sushi is, even if the consider it one of their favorite foods.
Python "knows what it's doing" in the sense that it guarantees that it checks return values from write() and has an exception mechanism to ensure that errors aren't accidentally ignored. Therefore, they can get away with ignoring SIGPIPE because they have the appropriate error checking in place.

If you check the linked article, you'll see that it discusses both Python and Go, and mentions suppressing SIGPIPE in the Go code. My original comment did not mention Python for point #2; it was more of a general admonition. (And, like all Internet advice - there are always exceptions if you know what you're doing - it was more of a way to head off newbies who might see signal(SIGPIPE, SIG_IGN) and think it's a good idea!)
That’s why there is comprehensive screening of donated blood which has essentially eliminated pathogen transfer and it’s used en masse everyday.
Crystal Dream 2 by Triton, released earlier the same year is on par, I think:

Personally, I'm curious about other supplements that can improve my caffeine usage… e.g. prolonging effect, adrenal precursors, etc.
The problem is that turning actions which cause no harm (injury, loss, or damage to another) or threat of harm into crimes is perversion of law. The problem is using criminal justice system to attack medical issues is a perversion of law.

A perverse law has perverse effects. We've created massive organized crime gangs by criminalizing things which should be legal.

I like to tease the Swedes. They thought that alcohol was such a social ill that only a state-run monopoly should be allowed to sell it (so no advertising). The corollary is that they thought other drugs were so bad that only criminal gangs should be allowed to sell them.
Lots of great changes that make a world of difference for marketplace builders. From someone who used to use Authorize.net and spent a lot of money building tools around it... I love Stripe. So simple, so smart. Best YC company yet.
Personally, I don't feel all that strongly that we are collectively getting it wrong, certainly not to the extent of getting a domain name just for that! I think most developers do indeed talk to their users, and they rather enjoy doing it, too. I've once worked in a place where developers are more detached from users, but that was an exception, not a norm.

There's also a difference between the opinion of one user vs the collective opinions of users as a whole. In most software these are conflicting goals. For example, iOS can't just add random features willy-nilly to satisfy an individual's feedback. So the product management needs to come in between developers and users to aggregate user demands. You'll have to make everyone a little bit unhappy to make users collectively happier. One of the reasons I like extensible software is that those two goals are no longer conflicting. Hopefully you know what I mean when you see Jenkins (http://jenkins-ci.org/)

I do share the joy of "caring about your users," there's something very special in knowing this one person/user, understanding his/her needs, solving it, and making him/her happy. We obviously do that through software, but this drive is universal.
And how is that working out? Last time i checked, the US was leading in violent crime, death and suicide by guns, mass shootings, etc. among developed nations, by a lot.
You can quite easily build a drone capable of flying for many miles with a 2.7kg Payload for 2-3K. Indeed $10,000 would buy you a very, very nice setup. If they wanted to go the plane route a Mugin will do 15kg and still be under 10k [1]

Apple also controls the OS on both sides, and could silently push a "special" update to virtually anyone. If e.g. Abu Bakr al Baghdadi had an iPhone and was communicating with operations, and that phone could be identified, it'd be a race at NSA/TAO between compelling or technically subverting Apple to push such an update (if there is no other better solution), and the incoming Hellfire missile from CIA.

That said, iMessage in design and even implementation is utterly amazing compared to the normal quality of such systems from big companies. It is by far the most secure large-scale easy to use communications system available today. I think WhatsApp/Moxie-enhanced will probably surpass it when available, but that's an add-on application. iMessage is an out of the box default.
These are very intimate details of his life. The entries do not read like the entries of a psychopath, rather they paint a vivid picture of his life and the perfect basis for a movie.

Here is devil’s advocate ready to be voted down:

People get tortured and executed for not sharing information, or actually not having any information in countries in the middle east. They wouldn’t hesitate erasing a family all together from the planet if they don’t share information.

And here is FBI, pressuring to get information.

Of course, western democracy is supposed to be better. It is better though.

And that’s really the best it could be.
The repercussions include being promoted.
I'm personally guilty of this mindset, but it's something I'm working on. After you get burned by a system, you know of the bug, and you can fix it. But the instinct is to switch to a new system, or to rewrite the system. That does get rid of all the bugs in the old system! But, in the process you've replaced them with brand new bugs that nobody has seen or heard from, until they decide to crawl into your mouth while you're asleep and you wake up in a panic. It's bugs all the way down, folks... this is software we're dealing with!

I think sendmail is the classic example of a program with so many bugs it had to be rewritten from scratch, and many people did. All of those alternatives, even qmail (widely debated: https://www.qualys.com/2020/05/19/cve-2005-1513/remote-code-...), ended up with a bug or security problem too. And they seem to have even fixed sendmail. It's still around and it doesn't take down the whole Internet every three weeks anymore. Wow! Sometimes there are just a million bugs, and you fix all one million of them, and then there aren't any more bugs.
Completely agree. If I had a dime for every project owner, project manager, team lead, or <insert made-up job title> I’ve worked with who has absolutely no technical experience or knowledge I’d have over a dollar already.

These people invariably majored in something like english, dance, or music studies and then wind up doing project management because, as you pointed out, they’re after the money and no one is stopping them.
What? No it’s not. The important party here is the receiver of the money, not the giver. If an insanely rich person and a regular person both give a homeless person $250, in both cases that’s still probably a big deal for the homeless person. Could and should the rich person give more? Maybe, but I don’t think that should be the sole focus.
I saw that not too long ago myself. Purely speculation here, but perhaps they opted not to publish any commits until they had a chance to have their MobileCoin implementation audited? Just wish they had been more forthcoming about why they were not pushing commits.
Where in the linked article did you see a call to sympathy? If it doesn’t resonate, could it be that you’re not the target audience because you’re not a founder?
The Wired article that the CEO of Mobilecoin is implicitly endorsing in this thread specifically categorizes Mobilecoin as a cryptocurrency. At least, it doesn’t seem to be a distinction worth splitting hairs about (yet).
> Anyway Signal is itself pernicious by being tied to a phone number and to Google Play services

It's not tied to Google Play Services, you can download a standalone version from signal.org. As for phone numbers, the developers have been working on getting rid of them for a while now – there's already a good amount of code on GitHub.
I guess so, but then the claim boils down to:

- It is bad to be resource rich and have a bad government.

- It is good to be resource rich and have a good government.

Why not instead just say

- How good things are will significantly depend on how good the government is.

Since that claim holds true for both resource rich and resource poor countries.
Here's something that really caught my eye:

When Apple didn’t participate in an April hearing on children’s online privacy,
the West Virginia Democrat who chairs the Senate Commerce, Science and
Transportation Committee, gave voice to his suspicions.

"When people don’t show up when we ask them to ... all it does is increases
our interest in what they’re doing and why they didn’t show up," Rockefeller
said of Apple and Google, which both declined to testify. "It was a stupid
mistake for them not to show up, and I say shame on them."

Wow. So, when you're, you know, "asked" to appear, you better damn well appear, or become a target.
She said: "Why does that matter? Why is this a global competition when, every day, Americans are still losing their lives?"

Did he answer the question? Or did he look at an Asian woman and immediately start attacking China?

And this is just ridiculous:

"Weirdly, some, who feared Trump being a true Hitler-like fascist 2-3 years ago, were upset that Trump wasn't being fascist enough and shutting the whole country down and overruling state governors on local policies."

There's nothing fascist about instituting a national healthcare policy during a national healthcare crisis. That's not what the word means. Fascism is far-right authoritarianism.

Marshalling private militias to attack people is fascism, however, and it's a practice Trump shares with both Hitler and Mussolini.
That has nothing to do with the Invisible Hand as far as I can tell.
I've also seen the opposite. People leaving way too early. Younger people usually who were jumping ship way too fast. Then they were miserable at their new job and jumped ship again. Not good on their resume at all.

I think they didn't realize that they had actually found a truly awesome company by chance and were witnessing its conversion to 'normal company'. Nothing more, nothing less. But if you ask me it was still totally bearable. The devil you know type of situation and hey, I'll let them pay me f they keep wanting to. I can still jump ship if they turn from normal company to actual evil (like introducing the kinds of perks that try and bait you into working 80 hour weeks and thinking it's fun and worth it and normal) company. I can still jump ship then.

Good read: Amazon acquired Eero (https://mashable.com/article/amazon-eero-wifi-router-sale/). Employees got nothing, founders and executive got millions. This is not my experience in SV, though.
That’s nonsense government griping. In fact, we had an election and fired all of those decision makers.

Rushing through things like KN-95 has consequences. My brother is a firefighter paramedic and found out that 90% of the kn95 masks issued to him were completely defective.
So, did any jobs come up? Looking at your blog, you seem to be have been pretty involved in F# until May.
There's various reasons that #3 is particularly useful, though I think the original writer was probably more concerned with links in e-mail or links on sites other than the site you're being asked to log in to (such as links from advertisements or other third-party sites):

1) Similarities in the way letters look in certain fonts can cause you to think you're on the correct site when you are not. This is mitigated by EV SSL usually, but if you're not paying close attention you might miss it.

2) Browser exploits (though I'm unaware of any specific ones in current browsers) have commonly focused on tricking the browser into displaying one URL when the page is actually being hosted by another.

3) Links in e-mail, specifically, asking you to "login and update your information" (or "login and sign up for paperless billing now!" is pretty common, especially when combined with some perk). Often these links use redirection to gauge effectiveness of the e-mail campaign, so it's common for the link to look strange. If the e-mail is a phishing attack, that redirection could include code injection resulting in you being sent to the right URL to login, but with malicious code inserted to capture credentials or do other fun and exciting things. Of course, the site would have to have some existing XSS vulnerability on the login page, or the code would have to be attacking a browser/plug-in vulnerability, for you to see the EV SSL indicator properly in the address bar.

The last point is also usually mitigated by extensions like NoScript in Firefox.
Under History > Clear Recent History, make sure "Site Preferences" is also checked.
I think there are plenty of real-world cases that can be studied here: Ruby comes to mind, and the early days of JavaScript. Even though most of it isn't stateful, this has a lot of the same issues as global variables. Personal answer here is a solid "yes". I don't think any of the ideas in the article help much.
My sense is Lumen's eventually going to go away, with the heavier built-in stuff moved into optional packages like the starter kits at https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/authentication#authentication-q....
I don't buy into the idea that because estimation is hard thus it is "paranoia".
> But there's no plan B. We can't fly the F-16 for another 25 years.

Serious question: why not? Assuming the F16 is going to be updated with improved technology is any other country producing fighter jets that are going to overtake the capabilities of the F16 any time soon?
I think that it's about interpretation; you can say "this doesn't include me or my friends -> it is racist" or you can say "this is a book written in a place and time where people didn't think about and confront these issues in the way we do now". If I was to write a book like LOTR (which would take a long time because doing potato printing is hard work, and crayons are quite poor media too) then I would be being racist because it would be an act of specific exclusion wrt. the people I meet every day. Dear old JRR was not in that context and given the context he was in it's a pretty enlighted tome (I think).
If you're a daredevil you can write your code in Python 3 directly. As you said, some service providers don't offer it yet, and some third party libraries aren't compatible with it.

What most developers do to support both Python 2 and 3 is to write the code in as-portable-as-possible Python 2 and convert it using the '2to3' tool (or similar, more intelligent tools, do a search) before each deployment/release.

Portable means "use no modules that are deprecated in 3.0", using modules that simply have another name is OK. Language constructs are (usually) simply converted. In that case you have to test in both Python 2 and 3.
One day tourists are going to buy "holiday glasses". They'll walk around Paris, stop at a nice restaurant, put on their glasses, and read the whole menu in English. Then they'll order by pointing. Hell, they can do this with their phone right now, the glasses just make it easier.
The effects I'm talking about are not during the actual exercise, it's more long term. Note that even though they are long term (~12 weeks I think) they are not permanent, if you stop exercising soon there will be no benefit.
This update is really good though. They address pretty much all of the open issues. The only thing they have to watch out for is people who respond to the email faster skipping the queue, but I'm sure they've sorted that.
Go read the word lens post - most of those replies are urging them to increase the price drastically.

The only place where I really see an anti commercial attitude is, strangely enough, with ebooks, perhaps because these are usually brought at relatively high prices compared to what books (non-fiction) are usually sold at and are, at those I have brought, promising heaven and earth in their pre-sell "call to action" pages and are almost always of uniform low quality consisting mostly of a what would have been an okay blog-post extended with a bunch of personal anecdotes from the author and some common info that I would already know if I was interested in the topic.
Do you say "add 2 and 3" or "2 add 3"?

True, I was imprecise. Thanks.
Thank you so much for saying this! I am beyond upset at my state for fucking this up so badly. We can't open schools but we can take time off and worry about equity over expediency?

This is how my state views the vaccine: "OHA considers the planningfor COVID-19 vaccine to be an opportunity to reimagine how the agency engages communities in co-creating the work of public health. This vaccine plan, as mentioned above, is a starting point for this journey."

Fuck this all. Get shots in the arms right fucking now
Banks wouldn't offer a loan for zero interest if they have to "buy" money for interest. In these type of situations, they are either lending at negative interest rate from the central bank, or they are paying interest to central bank for "safekeeping" (central bank is at negative interest rate) or consumers are keeping money in banks at negative interest rate (less likely).

What makes money for the bank is the difference of interest rate between money they buy and money they sell. Whether one or both are negative or positive doesn't really matter. Relative difference is what matters.
