And yet, for whatever reason, sometimes my email end in spam.

It's probably your IP address.

Sure, SPF and DKIM say you are allowed to send these emails, you are who you say you are, etc, but you also aren't a Sendgrid IP address (or someone similar) so you're treated as less trustworthy.

I could be wrong, but I believe many email servers take these things into consideration (please let me know if I'm mistaken!)

8 days ago I tried to log in to my Amazon retail account, and received a password invalid error. As it turned out my account had been closed, as it appeared to Amazon that it had received a suspicious log in. This is the same account that I use for AWS - hosting websites critical to my business.

Today it appears I am no closer to gaining access back to my AWS account than I was on day 1, even though I have been billed as normal for my services during this time.

This should serve as a warning to anybody else who has an Amazon account that is shared between retail and AWS.

Linked is a list of every event and interaction I have had during the last 8 days with Amazon, via Twitter, email, phone and chat.
We hear your concern about GitLab getting bloated. We first made GitLab CI as a separate application. When Kamil (CI lead) proposed to Dmitriy (co-founder CTO) to add CI to GitLab itself he said that was a bad idea, we need sharp tools. After Dmitriy became convinced and when they proposed it to me (CEO) I had the same response: http://redmonk.com/jgovernor/2017/06/21/how-gitlab-abandoned...

But when we integrated it the sum was more than the parts. The benefit of deep integration and not having to switch applications are becoming more apparent to us. It is hard to articulate why the same can't be done with plugins, the video in the article is maybe a good start.

Review Apps, changes metrics in the merge request, the container registry being aware of your permissions. All this can be done with plugins. But having it in one applications is so much easier to set up, upgrade, and use day to day.

Plenty of Google services have been killed/deprecated, even when they were widely used and popular. Google reader, hangout, gtalk, come to mind. I'm wary of getting burned again.

So I have decided I will never use any google service for something that I really need to rely on. I have a throwaway gmail for giving out to all kinds of spammy websites. I use google photos for backup but also do a full backup on Onedrive. I have a play music subscription but that's not very sticky anyway, I can switch to Apple music at the first sign of trouble.

Also, if you work for google, I'm surprised you think there is no precedent for google discontinuing stuff! It's literally a meme at this point.
My impression is that the article is about highschool students, where homework tends to be on the order of 75% of your grade simply because you get so much of it.

If someone were really serious about abusing the service they could pull out a C in the class even with hard failures of the tests.
This is fairly common - if you want a method that gets you around this at the cost of some privacy, you can use Mailgun or a similar service for free as your relay, which should pass most spam filters without issue.
This is ridiculous but I'd rather see people going this route than spraying glyphosate or some other poison. That said, the root of this is a dangerous kind of hubris.

The idea of weeds is a tragic fallacy. There are some "weeds" that are selling for up to $15/lb (nettles, lambs quarter). Most weeds are beneficial for cooking and herbal medicine. And most any weed can have some kind of beneficial role in the garden.

Same thing goes for "pests". One plant's pest is another plant's companion.

Yet people are all but obsessed with exterminating misunderstood creatures from their local ecosystems. In my view, this robot is not so far off in the grand scheme of things from a robot that goes around killing other animals and even people, based on shallow, superficial misunderstandings of another being's potential.

I wish as much engineering effort went into understanding as it does into stuff like this.
I had my personal domain hosted with Google. One of the reasons I moved away is that emails that I was sending to other Google Apps domains were bouncing as spam when the destination address was an alias. The bounce came from Google Groups, which is what Google used for handling aliases within Apps domains.

e.g. https://pastebin.com/u48DAaLP

That particular example was sent via SMTP, but I had the same problem when sending via the Gmail web interface, and it occurred sending to at least three different Google Apps domains.

After I moved my domain off Google Apps (I switched to Fastmail for a variety of reasons, but that issue was the kicker), I was able to send to those same addresses without issue. In fairness to Google, I was on the Google Apps free tier at the time, so there was nowhere to go for support.
I deactivated/deleted my FB account in 2010. I've thought that I may try to open it back up in 2020 just as a self created "time capsule" of my life.

Even 7 years out, I dont like to think about that time, dont know if I will be ready in 3 more years.

> But if you stop thinking of bots as sentient beings and instead treat them as domain-specific command line interfaces, you may get more utility out of them.

That's my thinking exactly, and while I agree with the article, I feel it would've been much more interesting if it explored what kinds of ways chat interfaces and bots can be used.

The first example mentioned is illustrative:

> Press 1 to report missing credit card... Press 2 to report a fraud... (...) Press 8 to activate a credit card...
> It's far from an enjoyable experience. When you call them and hear a recorded voice, you can tell that your call is going to take a while. You also know that there's a high chance you'll end up talking to a real person anyway.
> Chatbots are no better than these robots.

I strongly disagree with this. The problem with this interface is not the 'robot' part, the problem is that you have to patiently listen to a robot describe the options before you get to choose.

If I could have a chat with a bot that immediately provides me with an inline keyboard or a list of options so I could choose an option right away, or type it out, or perhaps even type out a command-line style multi-argument command, I'd prefer that over pretty much any other interface, including clicking around their clunky website. And most chat API support inline keyboards that can even 'replace' themselves, allowing for a pretty powerful mini-ui.

The problem, as I see it, is trying to make it natural and adding all sorts of NLP and 'human' elements. Let bots be bots and at most augment them with these things.

I truly believe that chat bots can end up being a 'CLI for non-geeks'. They're not appropriate for everything, but what with custom keyboards, inline keyboards, and other inline doodads, I wouldn't be surprised if they'll end up being successful even for the non-CLI or non-chat type use cases. Everyone has Telegram or Messenger or Messages, and 'everyone' seems to be moving to their phone or phablet as a primary interface these days. They don't want you shitty custom app, they hate your clunky barely-mobile website. But their favorite chat app has authentication, essential UI stuff, 'native' services (location, etc.), and push notification and sync built in, so why not use that?

For a growing number of people around me, the 'de-facto' chat interface is the one they have open much of the time (plus snapchat's weirdness, perhaps). While I feel the current interfaces are still lacking for these non-person-chat use cases, already now I find that they can be much more useful than people realize. It wouldn't be too difficult, I suppose, to optimize these chat apps to handle various bots better (and perhaps WeChat already figured this out well enough?).
No! And it needs to be done! I've lived in only a couple of places, and the genetic variety of dandelion (dent-de-lion?) is marvelous. When I grew up they were small modestly sized plants. Then the mowing thing, and a 2nd form of flat plants. Moved to California, they were 4' tall with greyish-green dusty leaves. Moved to an acreage in Iowa, all over the fallow field one year they were bushes about 18" high with 100 blooms - you could have sold them in a garden shop for landscaping!

Mendel should have used dandelions for his gene studies, there is lots more to see!

It's not at all clear that removing al Qaeda's leadership is a net improvement. A leaderless al Qaeda is potentially more chaotic and more indiscriminately violent; a diminished al Qaeda may simply create a vacuum to be filled by IS or some other group.

A lot of this is reminiscent of the drug war. Taking out a kingpin looks like a victory, but it only creates short-term instability and a surge in violence. The root causes remain unchanged.

How many people do you need to arrest to eradicate the drug trade? How many people do you need to kill to eradicate extremist ideologies?

I agree with you even though I disagree with most of the criticism of the article here.

I feel like I know what Kent is talking about behind most of these points, even though his words only hint at the deeper principle. He's trying to be too brief, but I can tell there's depth there.

For many of the points, I had to think a bit, and then it clicked, "Oh, he's talking about xyz. Yep, he's right. But his words don't really say that."

Kent Beck is not some AbstractFactoryStrategySingleton fool. I've learned a ton of insights from him, and I've seen him articulate insights that I had stumbled across and incorporated, but had not been able to articulate.

I'll grant you that some other talking heads often lumped in with Beck have been overhyped and their rhetoric has run ahead of their insight. And no one is perfect. But Beck usually has real insight behind what he is saying, and this IMO is no exception.
Their customers are obviously perfectly happy to patronize them regardless of this.

And perhaps equally infuriating and insulting is this Christian company not taking any responsibility for the theft or funding terrorists.

From the BBC articles;

>'Hobby Lobby said it "did not fully appreciate the complexities" of the import process when it began'

and

>'The company imprudently relied on dealers and shippers who, in hindsight, did not understand the correct way to document and ship these items," Hobby Lobby said'[1]

Its amazing that "committed evangelical Christians" who said religious beliefs barred them from paying for certain kinds of contraception in their employees health care doesn't have the same moral compunction when it comes to stealing or doing business with terrorists.[2]

I refuse to install Messenger, so I'm actually annoyed by FB's lack of notifications (by email) when I receive a FB message. It used to be the case that FB would email you the message text. They switched that to "you have a message, click here to see it," but now it seems to be completely random whether I'm ever notified. The immediate effect on my behavior is that I find myself logging in to FB frequently just in case I have a message, and then falling into the endless scroll of crap in my feed.

Yea, that's exactly what I'm implying. As for the basis for it -- I'm not sure how to put it. Every other interpretation is deeply confused, but MWI gives a deterministic, algorithmic, and non-mysterious explanation.

From the article:
"The government also filed a stipulation of settlement with Hobby Lobby, in which Hobby Lobby consented to the forfeiture of the artifacts in the complaint, approximately 144 cylinder seals and an additional sum of $3 million, resolving the civil action."

This - I think part of the issue is to stop homework from becoming busywork for grades. If everyone has the understanding that this is supposed to nail down and self-test understanding of material taught in class, then there's no reason students should "cheat". To this end, I like the approach of mentioning repeatedly that homeworks are for the students' own good, then give a test early on to make students quickly understand they'll do badly without practice, and then announce after the test that you'll drop the scores, but just DO YOUR DAMN HOMEWORK! :-)
> Ironically, if these artifacts were from northern Iraq, where ISIS has had its main destructive presence, there's a good chance they would have been destroyed.

It's largely understood that ISIS destroys archaeological sites so it's harder to notice that they've looted the artefacts to sell them. It also makes the artefacts harder to track and link to their POI.

The studies they mention in this is pretty fun, both the self-censorship and the news feed one.
Well, this seems pretty useful. Certainly worked well when I tested it on the Web Tiger Team site.

However, I do wonder whether the RSS feed aspect might be limiting here. I mean, how often do people manually generate an RSS feed on a static website?

I'd say the answer is 'pretty much never'. They're annoying to create/edit by hand or with a static site builder, and hence they're usually quite rare on the types of websites this tool was made for.

So while I think the widget works well when used properly, I feel like the vast majority of static sites won't be able to use it simply because they don't have an RSS feed.
Makes me think of Horizon: Zero Dawn.
I always hear such things from EE's. So, what's your thoughts on stuff like this in terms of analog "always" being more expensive or power hungry:

http://www.cisl.columbia.edu/grads/gcowan/vlsianalog.pdf

http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.325...

Now, I won't argue with cheaper to develop since analog is manual with a lot of issues to contend with. I'm just wondering if there are more applications that can get huge speedups at lower power or cost than digital. I know the ASIC makers in power-sensitive spaces are already moving parts of their chips to analog for power reduction. That's what mixed-signal people tell me anyway: the specifics are often secret. So, I have to dig into CompSci looking for what they've tried.
The terrorists are really only killing other Muslims in the Middle East, so that's perfectly OK with "committed evangelical Christians".
I've been on Fastmail going on a year now, and spam was my biggest worry coming from gmail. But honestly I don't think I've received any spam in my inbox at all since doing the switch, and only occasionally had to check the spam folder for a missing email I was expecting. It's been surprisingly solid I think. I'm very glad to be off gmail.
It's been on my list of things to do "some time later," as I understand the tools have gotten much better. I suppose my belief that self-hosted E-mail necessarily means inadequate spam filtering may be a relic of a time long past.
the dedicated VPC approach definitely works. But, in case you weren't aware, kops can launch a cluster in an existing vpc pretty trivially.

1. create your cluster specifying the existing VPC id and CIDR. do not use the --yes flag (I'm not sure the VPC cidr is really even used with this approach)

2. edit the cluster definition (kops edit cluster xxxxxxxxx) and just change the subnet CIDRs to whatever nonexistant ones you would like for kops to create and use.

You may find it feels differently in practice. Because when I look at redux, I get reminded of managing crazy state trees in redux, and why I went to react/mobx in first place. :)

To be sure, Redux has strengths too, and there are tradeoffs. But I don't think that a brief "mobx looks like ember!" really conveys much, and I think the number of people who have been happy after switching from redux to mobx further undercuts such easy dismissals.
True enough, but I always got the impression their customers would skew liberal. But that might be my liberal assumptions about who does craft projects showing through. :)
