The `Received-SPF: softfail` header is added between mail-oi0-f43.google.com and mail.inka.de. There is only a delay of one second.

The two day delay, however, happens on the sender's side, between the Google SMTP servers 10.202.76.146 and mail-oi0-f43.google.com.

In general, email received from Gmail users is delayed, often for one/two hours, rarely for a day or more.
I'm no accountant or lawyer but I would not attempt to distribute money like you are suggesting internationally. Just thinking about the employee/consultant/fee based nature of potential contributors and the tax statuses of every jurisdiction in the world makes me shudder. And money laundering regulations... And funding terror regulations...

Are there really no parallels for popular opinion straying significantly from established facts and resulting in irrational behaviour before natural correction...? Are the South Sea Bubble and the Cold War not two such such examples of this?

Depressingly, it seems this idea was originally proposed around June 2016, with the scheme only just being made mandatory instead of optional:

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/jun/28/us-custom...

So it's not purely tied to the recent political changes. The US Department of Homeland Security has wanted this for a while.

Either way, it's terrible. It goes against the terms of service for almost all online service providers, it opens up another avenue for customs to frame you by using your account to post messages/view controversial content, it's a massive privacy risk and it mostly punishes people who are both small time enough and honest enough to only have one account per service to hand over.

I remember having to disable at least the first two items (Lock Screen and Suggested Apps). And instead of simply reducing size of Windows 10 start menu, I completely uninstalled all UWP included Apps.

The really infuriating thing is that Microsoft seems to re-enable some of those settings in each major update, and this is no fun.
Why do people hate forms?
From the wikipedia article I gather that the only Giffen goods that were actually shown to exist are the Veblen goods and thus disqualify as Giffen goods. It seems to me that Giffen goods are a theoretical thing that has never been actually shown in real world (as the article states, all of the proposed examples were discarded).

The case of website cost going down and demand going up seems pretty standard.
I think one of their secrets is being a net capital exporter, something the US hasn't been for some time now.
To be fair, apart from carrying guns (which is a bit of an American specificity), a significant percentage of the population of any country is quite stupid, easily manipulated and tend to vote for populist types that cater to their low intelligence.

For examples in Europe, see Brexit, Berlusconi, the rise of Lepen in France, the Freedom Party of Austria and a lot of examples... The problem is that this time, in the US, those people have actually been able to vote for a candidate that represent their values (and it's not the second time, Bush was already a good example of that)
Quantum Logic and Probability Theory
This country is pretty obviously on a downward spiral for some time now. And things only seem to accelerate. It's just sad to see things go backwards again. Especially given the influence the country has on the entire World. Let's stop this madness.
Writing it off as "whataboutism" is a way to avoid uncomfortable lines of questioning, so I will make these questions explicit here:

Why exactly did so many people magically become dead-set against all these government abuses on Jan 20, 2017, specifically?

Are they really here to help the fight for $CAUSE, or are they exploiting the cause for petty power games?

Can you really trust their judgement in the Fight Against Tyranny?

Can you trust them to push for durable reform against tyranny, or are they merely interested in install their own tyrant?
"Concern for the environment is a luxury for rich countries" because they have methods in place to deal with pollution. In agricultural societies it's not a luxury, but a necessity. Polluting the ground and water has very direct negative health impact, because people can't filter the water or use measures against ground pollution.
hmmm... Misinterpreted Satire (Colbert Report, et al) has come under the shadow of being "fake" where it certainly isn't. But if someone believes a mock story as true, is that fake?

I'm entirely unconvinced by your argument regarding backing up a perfect forward secrecy chat. PFS is about preventing any listener of the messages in-transit from ever effectively decrypting those messages - it says nothing about security guarantees once the message is received.

It'd be like arguing that by enabling PFS also creates a social contract that the receiver guarantees that their device isn't compromised. Or that webservers that use PFS in TLS don't log most/all of the details for the requests they receive. I don't believe either of these to be true.

You seem to have extrapolated some social properties from a purely technical property and assumed everyone must think about it in the same way as you. But in doing so, you've made your protocol weaker against realistic attacks.

Oh, and the likelihood of an attacker stealing a device with WhatsApp installed and only being able to extract the identity keys and not the cached messages seems absurdly improbable.

Personally, I wish you'd either tried to work with OWS/WhatsApp/whoever to integrate in what makes keybase.io great (providing identity verification - something that all these could use) and not gone about adding to the already crowded area of chat providers.
My infosec mantra
>> I made my appeals up the chain of command, but it appeared the real boss — their system — was digging its heels in on this one.

Eh, seems like the problem here was not humans, but a machine that had been programmed in a terminally inflexible manner.

Which is what most people are worried about, when handing over control to machines, isn't it? With a human, there is always the chance that you might be able to negotiate some exemption from the rules, to make your life easier. With a machine you're stuck with whatever rules are programmed to it (or it has learned etc). Even the best adaptive systems we have available are not very flexible, unfortunately.

This is really a huge problem that's not going to be solved by sneering at the older generation who "need to ask their grandchildren what a tweet is" 'cause they just don't get it etc. I mean, maybe let's pause here and remember we'll all grow old too, one day, right? If we keep making machines that need a young person's familiarity with technology to operate correctly, we'll never get systems that make everyone's life easier.
As a comparison, I wrote an identical program in both C++ and JavaScript. It was doing repeated calls to a kd-tree, and was CPU-limited in both cases. The JavaScript version was slower, but only by a factor of 5-7 or so. I was rather surprised, because I was expecting a factor of 100-500, as I get with C++/CPython.

I don't expect WebAssembly to improve much on the speed, because it is already pretty fast.
There is a pattern to evolution of societies. A lot of 'third world' countries including social structures are a lot like our societies were 100-200 years ago. Anyone doing even basic research will not fail to see the similarities. There is basic survival, greed, feudal systems, corruption and the primacy of religion and traditional social structures.

Prosperity breaks a lot of these and the evolution of the west came first from economic colonialism and the resulting wealth then spurred on the growth of technology and newer economic, social and political structures.

Without the benefit of colonialism a lot of emerging economies are 'stuck' and they have to deal with extremely powerful and organized entrenched power structures and play by their rules designed to maintain their primacy at all costs.

Isn't this what 'the great game' is? Its got little to do with human rights, humanity, environment or social consciousness. Its purely driven by power, self interest and greed. Its played out in backroom deals, corruption, financial systems, collusion, dirty tricks, geo politics and wars like we see in the middle east and Russia. This is the road China is learning to navigate in Africa. A road already taken by the west 400 years ago. Exciting times ahead.

> my trusty engineering software wouldn't install on Windows 8 or 10 due to some of Microsoft's many backwards-incompatibilities.

I have seen nearly no software that doesn't work in a backwards compatible way on windows. Tha's the thing microsoft does best of all.

What was it that became incompatible with Win8 that meant a piece of software that installed on Win7 now wouldn't install?

The last app that stopped working for me was some 16bit vb apps I had but those run just fine in a virtual 32bit XP I can fire up (and in the "xp mode" when that was availble).
I wonder if there is room for a product, a kind of browser-in-a-website, that would eat those big-ass webpages (server-side) and spit out just the text and (heavily compressed) jpegs. With a little layout to match the original website. Something like how streaming services adaptively subsample data, or like how NX tries to compress the X window protocol. Obviously this would be patchy, but it could be much better than "FAIL".

It looks like there'll be further models after the Three:

"I'm super excited about being able to produce a car that most people can afford," Musk said. "And there will be future cars that are even more affordable down the road."

"With something like the Model 3, it's designed such that roughly half the people can afford the car," he continued. "With fourth generation and smaller cars and what not, we'll ultimately be in the position where almost everyone will be able to afford the car."

From here: http://www.computerworld.com/article/3062365/car-tech/elon-m...
I honestly don't think this will be very easy to achieve on a human level. There are plenty of platforms that allow devs to meet sales partners but most people would rather just go at it alone or don't trust others or don't play well with others etc etc.

It might be that, in GP's experience, people who straightaway reply "I love Mozart" are less likely to actually have heard a substantial amount of his work, perhaps to have sat with them for some time, and (for lack of a better word) pondered over them, than someone who says they like something else but replies in a manner that sounds more sophisticated, e.g. "I enjoy the structure inherent in Bach's music" or what-have-you. (I might just be putting words in their mouth, though. Apologies if that's the case.) Answers of the latter kind can indicate that one has actually spent some time thinking about whatever it is one has learned, however elementary it might be. And that's always great!

It's probably the equivalent of someone saying "omg fractals" or "the incompleteness theorems, man, math is broken, I find that so beautiful" in response to "So you like math/CS?" After a while, that becomes a red flag that you learn to small-talk your way out of, albeit with some shame: while I agree with GP, to some extent, I do understand how this can be exclusionary, though. Almost by construction, someone who isn't in really deep is far more likely to have met the parts of a field that have been popularized than other things, and putting them down for this can be counterproductive if you're looking to attract more people or, well, just evangelize. I don't know of a good way out of this.

I do seem to have noticed that this isn't the case if you replace "fractals" by, say, "differential equations" or even "trisection". Maybe what one really needs to avoid in introductory literature is powerful ideas that are easy to lossily summarize for a lay audience in the form of really general, unexpected-sounding incorrect-when-unqualified statements that seem to say profound things about life, the universe, and everything. Leaving off the last condition shouldn't make an appreciable difference in hype/excitement-generating power: you could very well do, say, some topological/geometric staple like the hairy ball theorem, or some knot theory, and so on. That way, you retain the visual appeal that $REALLY_BIG_NUMBER-x zooms of Mandelbrot give you, while significantly decreasing the tendency for the target to go into (partial or full) "woah, dude, everything is connected and I am pure energy" mode in the way that Gödel often does.[0]

As an aside, GEB can be a good (rigorous, even) introduction to a few very powerful ideas. For me, what I call "interpreter-y thinking" was a good example, as was a healthy respect for how complex emergent behavior can arise from simple rules. This is something that's unfortunately hampered by the "bag of really cool ideas" nature that the book seemed to have when I read it four or five years ago.

[0]: I've actually heard the "everything is connected" bit from a good friend who loves watching videos like in TFV, so it isn't entirely a strawman. :)

If it were their problem it would be fine I guess but they were claiming it is world's problem. On personal level they seem doing well: doing PhDs, launching startups, taking pictures of fine food and places and so on. It is their ideology which is consuming them.

New Jersey is the worst. I always have to remember to fill up before I cross state lines into that place, so I don't have to deal with people yelling at me if I absent-mindedly jump out and start gassing up.

Also, one very minor gas station-related automation point: if you run a gas station, and take the clip out of the pump nozzle, so that your customers are forced to stand there and squeeze the trigger the whole time they are fueling, rather than setting it and letting it click off when the tank is full, you should burn in hell.

IIRC in 1997 (was it 1996?) this thing called webcasting made lifecasting possible, Jennicam and Amandacam come to mind. Then there was stileproject and its treasure trove of videos, Not mentioning internet porn videos that people burned onto CDs to sell to people without internet.

Internet video has been a thing a while before youtube got released hoping to capture enough of this thing through offering to host it for free in the hope to be bought later by one of the big players.

I believe that they simply wanted to enable the targeted ads or sell the newly generated data, and that they still want to do this. But maybe somebody here has more insight.

Having a VAT number in most EU countries has a fixed cost that is non-negligible.

For a realistic example in Italy, having a VAT number implies a minimal fixed yearly cost of ~300eur (combining all various expenses) even for zero income. If you already are an employee, any extra income is likely to be taxed higher and require extra bookkeeping, to the point that cost parity is only attained if you can invoice for at least 450-500 eur.

This is purely wasted money, without considering the extra work that you have to put into for the tax records.

It's simply not worth it.
Immersed oil cooling for data-centres?
I've seen some eccentric examples of oil cooling for desktop PCs, however this startup is doing the same thing for datacenters - http://asperitas.com/

Does anyone have any experience in this space?

Aside from cost reduction, the elephant in the room is ease of server hardware maintenance. If the dead server has been immersed in oil then it's a messy job to replace components. Also, I'm wondering about the oil itself degrading components - for example, I think oil eats network cables?

I'm wondering if this might be the next big thing? Or just a hassle?

Creating an online store: hosted vs. self-hosted ecommerce platform
The sample 5%/year loan payment already includes the interest and principle repayment, where the interest rate incidentally is about 3%. Annual debt service is 5% x 60% of GDP = 3% of GDP. As the GDP grows, the portion of the debt service each year becomes less and less, 2.9%, 2.8%, ...

The train system presumably generates revenue, where the operating income can be used to pay off the debt, rather than paid by tax on the GDP. A train system has transformative benefits to a nation. The benefits are still there long after the debt is gone. The ROI period is way longer than 30 years.

If you consider every identifying piece of information as a bit in a fingerprint, it makes more than a significant difference; it makes an exponential difference. Consider the difference between 7 bits (128 uniques) and 8 bits (256 uniques) and then 15 bits (32K uniques) and 16 bits (65K uniques). Every additional bit makes a difference when fingerprinting a browser.

It's timely this should come up as I've been on a bit of an Adam Curtis binge lately, having recently watched half of HyperNormalisation and then the entirety of the 'The Power Of Nightmares' series. I'm looking forward to watching the rest of his work.

One question I have for those that have seen his stuff - a recurring criticism I see of Curtis' work is that he states his opinions as if they are historical facts and heavily editorialises, leaving out important chunks of history because they don't support the view he's trying to push.

Are these accurate criticisms? I don't want to feel like I'm learning about history when in actuality I'm being fed something that's inaccurate (thanks 'King of Kong' for ruining my trust in documentaries, but I digress!). For example after watching 'The Power Of Nightmares' I feel like I know much more about what was going on in the world of geopolitics in the 80s and 90s, but I'd hate to think that I've just picked up a series of falsehoods (doubt this is the case though).
