Email fails in the following ways:

1. Email client have vastly different feature sets and capabilities. Most notably, the HTML support is very different from one browser to another.

5. The vast majority of email systems do not even support encryption of the message itself

7. Large file transfer via email is horrible and extremely limited

8. No random chat support

9. No group chat ( cc doesn't count as it lacks history of the group chat )

10. Have you ever received emails seemingly full of gibberish? Utf8 not supported properly in majority of implementations. ( which imo requires getting and using a font that supports the codepoints )

11. No user index ( saying that you could have an address book also doesn't count; and that is a seperate thing which also there is no one spec that is used by all people using email )

12. No real time messaging support. Inherent in the discussion is that chat software is insant, not based on server polling.
They have only said GPS trackers are a form of search.

They haven't determined if GPS Trackers are an unreasonable form of search for a recidivist sex offender.
Yes, and it will be a tiny stepping stone toward changing this backwards system altogether.
Those things would bother me if they even once abused access to that data. I can’t think of one time I’ve gotten anything other than a capacity warning from them, and even that was graciously spread a few months apart.
Yep, growing up in Lafayette the teachers always said, no reason not to remember, you only need to learn three digits.
Only due to wider adoption and commoditization of the skill set. It well always be hard to find the best. Home builders once milled their own lumber until the industry commodified the process. Homes didn't get cheaper but the corporations that formed and the knowledge workers who designed them took more of the cost for themselves. The highest paid software folks will be those who simplify the process of making software so more less skilled and and difficult to train people can do it.
From the landing page it does not support that functionality. Perhaps you should update it if you does support what I'm describing.
It actually says "everything in free" meaning you get everything that is in the free plan plus the rest of the items in the list.

Perhaps I could make this more clear?
I'm sure this was part of the original intention of whoever named them "Terminators".
> which happens to be similar to (how we believe) the brain works.

Can you link sources supporting that ?
This is a strawman argument really: what if this very rare thing happens (battery fire), and then another really rare thing on top of that (entrapment); therefore EV bad.

Compared to flammable liquid fires at 180,000 per year, see above, which really are pretty common.
Awesome idea!

I've been doing this exact same thing since march this year with my own domain using MailGun (Free) and custom forwarding rules.

Really amazing to see someone turn it into a product that can easily be set-up by the general folk. (And for a nice price!). Loved your UUID-alias idea.

May I ask however, how do you expect to handle a blacklist of your domains? I've had trouble in the past signing up to some websites that block any sort of custom domains (really bad) in an effort to block throw-away email, what happens if your domain gets blacklisted/categorized as a throwaway email? (Also forwarding to Google and such ends up in "email limbo").
Yes, some say that lying to achieve their goals is good. Fuck that, especially when it comes to trying to shift society.
I'm not terribly informed on research about wind farms and the damage they may - or may not - do to birds, bats and insects, so its not really obvious to me here what is clearly bad faith, in that article.
>Just because a relatively small mob of determined extremists can raid a building for an afternoon does not indicate some kind of earth-shattering, society-changing transformative event.

It absolutely does indicate that. Read up on German history.
Twitter being a private company aside, DT has shown that he is willing to incite violence.

Twitter has a responsibility to ban him unless it wants to be held accountable for what he does next.

Twitter is already largely responsible for this mess in the first place, without their platform viralizing his message of hate he may never have become president.
Does this suggest that immunity against some ordinary old pre-2019 coronaviruses also applies against the current strains?

"true threat" is where you have actual proof those threats arent empty rhetoric, like you know, people shouting about overthrowing the government and then storming Parliament while armed, with resulting causalities.
Ah, I see the problem. You think when I say "growth" I mean population growth. I do not. Well I do, but that's the minority of what I'm talking about when I say "growth".

> If humanity can't accept the temporary reduction of some people's standard of living to save civilization, then there is no hope

Citation very much needed. You asserting that we need to reduce certain people's SoL is not the same as demonstrating such, and neither you nor anyone else has done so.

Don't know who you're referring to with your last statement, but OK.
They aren’t shut out. It’s not a left vs right thing. Whether your ideas are hairbrained or not, left wing or right wing — if you incite violence they should take away your account.
> how do you balance that with a private company's right to do what they want with their own product?

You're asking for logic from people who learned from a young age that doing bad things gets them attention.

Trump is their icon. He was quick and happy after the "capitol storm" riot to finally say there will be a peaceful transition on the 20th. Why? Because he was asked to do it and he feels he is being helpful by complying.

Nevermind that he created the problem in the first place. He's always felt, since a young age, that he didn't get enough attention, and only received it when he acted out. Like, when you use your fork to eat food for the first time and dad doesn't even look at you. Then you throw it on the floor and Dad is suddenly alert. Boom, that's a life lesson. Repeat that scenario 1,000 times, give the child a billion dollars and you get someone like Trump.
Irrelevant my dude.

Hacker news is not your political soap box, please stay on topic to the comment and thread you are replying to.

The comment you are replying to is requesting a title change based on existing hacker news norms by the mod team because the article can be confused (given current events) with a recently released response to recently introduced legislation to congress, which this is not.
Which means that in practice, it's very debatable how much more free these decentralized platforms are than centralized ones, and whether they're worth the extra effort required to make decentralization work.

Especially since Mastodon seems to have (from my limited understanding) a "if you dare to talk to the Bad People you're also a Bad Person and getting dropped" mentality, effectively meaning that you cannot run an instance that is federating with both the mainstream fediverse and anything the mainstream fediverse doesn't like.

You shouldn't swallow errors like that in FP either. You can trap the error in an effect type and throw it at the top level of your app when your effect type gets run after all of the code that processes that error value has a chance to recover. See something like Zio for an example, though you can do similar things without Zio.
the hard part about this, if it were not wikimedia but some individual person's server, is that the traditional method of using something like an apache rewrite rule to replace the jpg/png with goatse wouldn't work, because the image isn't even being displayed.
> No. One particular flavor of politician wants you to believe science is just "opinions".

I'm not sure exactly which "flavor" you're referring to, but if I'd have to guess I'd say its the political party which aligns least with your own opinions.

> You're simply highlighting that those people are liars. That has nothing to do with the scientific method.

Yeah, that's what I said. Science is a method used to establish evidence for patterns and relationships. The opinions of individuals are not necessarily couched in science, regardless of their credentials.
This I entirely agree with you on but I’d expect it due to the resources available at the time were more fluent with C than rust. A shame really.
> If it’s in your best interest to buy and never sell, why would anyone want to use it for exchange?

Define best interest here. I mean saving money and investing it to make more money is also in everyone's best interest, but that is certainly not the case. So why is that?
I didn't expect other from a company that is immediately blaming the victim when their self-driving car once again drives somebody into a stationary object or lane divider instead of showing compassion first and launching an investigation later.

As a parent/child the first thing that comes from Tesla is a blog post and public statement on how your loved one allegedly was too stupid to use the car while Tesla goes into technical telemetry to grant themselves absolution.
Or they are young? I have been impressed with how many interesting discord communities there are, so I don't get this vitriol.
Should be simple to get more data - just short out (with appropriate resistors!) the connection points and see if your Kindle Crashes.

50%+ of my reading get's done by the K3 nightlight - I'm surprised people manage to get by without it.
Ohh, wow, you're actually here.

Save for aesthetics, what exactly is wrong with the msnbc.com titles?
Because many people reveal their real identities here. What if someone started posting malicious stuff from their accounts?

Even you, who only log in to post snarky comments, have posted links to your personal blog and projects.
In the long run, having a language with words of diverse etymologies makes a language harder to learn, cf. English.

That's an empirical claim. Is there any evidence to back that up? In particular, is there any standardized way to characterize which languages have more diverse etymologies and which have less? Is there a standardized way to compare the difficulty of learning languages as a second language in the abstract (as contrasted with the difficulty of learning some particular language given a particular first-language background)?

I get the distinct impression, from my acquaintance with people from all over the world, that many second-language learners think learning English is rather easy, not least because there are so very many opportunities to be exposed to English and to practice English all over the world.

I don't have any stories myself, but always look to Nivi and Naval at Venturehacks / AngelList for this kind of info... Might be worth reaching out to them?
As far as I understand, no. (A request for an API to write a desktop client was the top "most-liked" comment on the Messenger-platform blog post, which is how I found out about this.)
I had the same issue. 'Superstition' wasn't the right word. Perhaps 'pragmatism' or even 'science': "This has been observed to work, I shall use it again. I will abandon it for a better one should I find one, or if it should fail".

Pragmatism doesn't need to draw a cause/effect link like superstition does, and superstition doesn't generally lend itself to abandoning faulty beliefs.
your first sentence sounds a lot more exciting than the article title.
Now we have twice as many incompatible services. And still dreaming. :/
> I mean if you checked any internal codebase written in C today you're likely to still find multiple places where the developer has shot themselves in the foot over memory management.

This is absolutely nothing compared to the incredible stuff you can see auditing the average PHP code base... Most PHP programmers don't understand all the implicit conversions taking place, and that's a source of many bugs. I can't really blame them as many of them make no sense whatsoever. PHP is a really hard language to master, and most people that put the effort actually start to see PHP for what it is and go to a less insane language...
All Unix-like systems had exactly the same issues with large file support on 32b architectures. The solution was standardized in 1996 and adopted by most relevant OSes relatively quickly. Another issue is that support for large files has to be opt-in for user space code and this opt-in has to be same for all modules that share anything whose ABI depends on sizeof(off_t).

Server software that needs larger address space than what is conceivable size of main memory became somewhat common only after mass adoption of amd64. In fact, amd64 is first 64bit architecture where it is common to have 64-bit only userspace, essentially all "64b" unix vendors in 90's shipped systems with most of userspace built in 32b mode (IIRC this includes even technically 64b-only OSF/1 AXP^W^WTru64, which while running on CPU that really does not have 32b mode had 32b ABI in the style of linux's x32 ABI).
> But the point about there being a small handful of drivers in an area still stands.

Yeah in this case, a driver may have to take a service dog even if they have fear or an allergy, or Uber could be sued again. IANAL, but this is my understanding.
Uber could assign a different vehicle to pick up the passenger's that need to transport a service animal, so long as it doesn't significantly impact their service times.

A reasonable accommodation could be that driver's with significant animal allergies don't need to pick up passenger's with dogs. If a significant portion of their driver fleet has significant animal allergies, such that it would significantly negatively impact the response time for passenger's that need dogs, Uber would need to find a different reasonable accommodation.
So is the most populated part of Russia, this doesn't prevent them from "trying to find their own path".
9gag is not plagiarism like "did not acknowledge major inspirations" or even "did a remix but didn't credit anyone" but "copied, [sometimes] filed off serial numbers, and pasted".
The first lesson in the article gave me a junior high flashback. We were supposed to organize our paragraphs into the form:

Introductory Sentence

Concrete detail

Commentary

Commentary

Concrete detail

Commentary

Commentary

Concrete detail

Commentary

Commentary

Concluding sentence

—- next paragraph

It works, but writing that way was such a toil. Sometimes there is no value in 2 sentences of commentary and sometimes more explanation is needed. Sometimes it’s best to present three details all at once, instead of one by one. My teacher lifted the requirement on me after I ignored the rule but still wrote a quality essay.
Yes, I agree for those cases where the SPA was created to match customer expectations. I'm talking about using it where it doesn't belong, which happens quite a lot.
Apparently VB is so bad they listed it twice.
No they're not! Even if science explains everything there's still room for God.
An interesting, detailed article. But what I expected from the title was a mathematical puzzle, something like if you cut a circle into N pieces, what is the smallest square you can fit the pieces into. (Strangely, you can actually make a square out of 10^50 sufficiently crazy pieces: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarski%27s_circle-squaring_pro...) I couldn't find anything about this problem, but I found a discussion of the opposite question: what is the largest square you can cover with N pieces of a circle: http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/553571/cutting-up-a-...
There's a belief termed "theistic evolution" where one holds that God created the initial conditions of the universe and let it proceed organically from there.

Naturally, this requires discounting the Genesis account of creation, among other things. It also starts to border closer to deism, which is at odds with conventional Abrahamic interpretations of a heavily interventionist God.

Stephen Jay Gould dubbed this "Non-Overlapping Magisteria". As is the case with religion, it's possible to compartmentalize and select everything into a syncretic faith. Whether it is "bizarre" or "nonsensical" is of no relevance.
"As a matter of fact, when we went public, I was a little disturbed that 5 people who had been with us in our little office from the start and had been so important—Randy Wigginton, Chris Espinosa, a couple of young kids, and a couple of older ones just hadn't gotten any stock. I felt that they were a part of this whole energy and excitement and passion for what computers were going to be and what we were doing and how right it was. If somebody is sitting there working till 2:00am with you, helping to write a little code, and says, "Wow that is a cool one," those words mean a lot to you and they deserve something. So I gave each of those 5 a large amount of stock, probably a million dollars in that day. And that was an early day for a million dollars."

Really respect him for doing the right thing.
Very true. Go is an exception, and some day Java will be as well. They're both going route of userspace threads instead of reactive API's, thankfully.
> Sampling from https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/20/business/netherlands-tax-...:

Not sure why you posted this, it has nothing to do with the favourable tax-regime for placing your HQ in the Netherlands which I specifically spoke about (liquidatieverliesregeling).

The royalties you mention have nothing to do with whether you have your HQ in the Netherlands. Second, it's the American company (Nike) that ultimately profits, due to a Bermuda company which actually has a zero corporate tax rate policy, not the Netherlands. The US can change its laws to tax the IP created there. All that happens for the Netherlands is that it's missing out on tax income that'd otherwise be generated locally here. We shouldn't pretend as if there's this one country that unilaterally decides and profits. Instead, these structures are based on mutual tax treaties, and in this case the US agreed, the US company Nike profits, and the Netherlands is missing out on tax revenue.

Second, that situation has already been rectified due to the new tax on royalties in the Netherlands.

I haven't seen any change in public opinion, it's always stated that large companies pay too little, small companies and employees pay too much. And that's pretty much true in all countries.

Fact is the Netherlands ranks among the highest in the EU for corporate taxes as a percentage of GDP: https://data.oecd.org/tax/tax-on-corporate-profits.htm

It's certainly not perfect here but I find the discussions are often misguided and lacking nuance. I also find that many journalists just don't get it right.
Yeah well it's pretty obvious that you can write slow code in any language.

The interesting question is whether the code produced by the average programmer of that language is fast or not. And there language choice matters quite a bit, both because of language design (i.e. how easy is it to generate good machine code for that language) and because of the culture associated with that language (e.g. you can write extremely efficient Java, but typical Java programs chase a lot of pointers and generate a lot of garbage).
Blockchain does not work without the cryptocurrency, so if you are not implementing yet another Bitcoin's fork, you NEVER need a Blockchain.

Is it really that reliable to make such precise statements?
The paper details the limited dispersion characteristics of this species. I don’t think that many evolutionary biologists are aware of the pelagic larval stage of many, but not all, reef fish. It has interesting implications such as finding multiple species occupying the same ecological niche on reefs. I have always been curious how similar species self-identify (e.g. French vs Gray angelfish).

The fact that the degree of dispersion varies makes this type of study an interesting way to test kin theory.
Thinking through a very complex and delicate concept, trying to come up with the best way to solve it. It's been a few weeks.
Wow, this is a new one for me. Definitely on my reading list. Thanks for sharing this!
FTFA: "But I piss on whom I please, and say what I want, and Rasmus has to just shake his head and take it. (Hence the irony in WWRD?â€”get it now?)"

I'm still a bit unclear as to what prevents someone (government, IBM, Amazone EC2, ...) from setting up shop and throwing CPUs at mining. I know that it will slow everyone down but surly the NSA has enough horsepower to drown almost everyone else out. Right?

Type annotations have reduced those cases to very rare instances, but yes there are still cases where the type checker can produce exponential runtime.
I just sent him an email asking if he has plans to put New Mogul back up.
Are you saying that's not true? Certainly males are more aggressive than females (like in many mammalian species), and certainly women have caring, child-rearing instincts.
Why do journalists always feel the need to insert some really bad logic?

"Humans are not very good at driving cars, as is evidenced by our ability to destroy 1.3 million souls on our roads each year."

Here, let's try that again:

"Robots are not very good at driving cars, as is evidenced by how badly the robot I created does at it."

Seriously, just because accidents happen and SOME people are bad at driving doesn't mean humans are bad at driving.
Strange... nearly every Dutch person I've met has been very friendly and outgoing. Maybe the extroverts leave the country?
It's fun! Fun doesnt need a practical application.

If your argument here is that knowing Javascript earns you more money than knowing no programming language in depth at all, I don't think anyone disagrees with you.

You could however have picked Ruby, PHP, Python, Haskell, Java, C(++), Objective-C (holy crap, Objective-C), Scala, Clojure etc to deep-dive on and would have been just as employable.

To convince me otherwise, you'd have to make the case that all of my professional connections are conspiring to deceive me or that I'm experiencing hallucinations on a near-daily basis and need professional help.
Playing the Enemy here:

What happens if what you have isn't 100R, but a company that hires one contractor part-time to build houses and make food at a flat 1$ upstream resource cost using machines that currently have 90% idle time? Wouldn't this situation mean that giving everyone that second 1$ let everyone have a home and food and solve the problem entirely? The company is also happier due to more profits and higher efficiency.
