The argument fails to a certain degree. I own a 10 year old 3L Diesel Jeep (tow horses at the weekends). Given the lifecycle of the average car, we're not talking about eradicating diesels the moment the EVs go on sale, but 15+ years before most vanish from the streets of our cities.

Diesels are going to be a problem for decades even if we stopped all sales right now.

I remember talking to an army recruiter at school when I was about 14 - not to recruit us, but to show how "cool" a career in the military could be, in case book-lernin didn't work out. Anyhow, the one thing I remember him saying is in boot camp they were made to chew every bite of food 50 times. The drill sergeant would count and punish anyone who swallowed before they got to fifty.

Fast-forward 30 years and I STILL continue to chew my food an inordinate number of times because of that one interaction. However, I've never been able to verify whether or not he was pulling my leg. I don't have a particularly large jaw, but I have noticed (anecdotally, of course) that I have fewer stomach issues than my peers who tend to chew-chew-gulp everything.

Well, actually there is complexity. We did pay the VAT over everything we sold, of course. That was simple.

What we didn't do was pay VAT in the Netherlands over the money we sent Dmitry for his work in Russia. If the Foundation had been a company, we would have had to pay that VAT in the Netherlands, but would have claimed it back -- net result, 0. If the foundation had never sold anything, so not been company-like, there wouldn't have been VAT due. Because it was a mix, the tax people wanted the full VAT paid, which could not have been reclaimed. In short: you're enough like a company that the VAT gets transfered, not enough like a company that you can claim it back. Even the accountants found that complex and disputable...

I think it's about controlling the conversation. Ad blockers are trickling down to mainstream adoption, and this is an existential threat to Google.

The best way to counter that is to redefine "ad blocker" to mean "Google ad server (Chrome)".

Google can't win this fight by telling people to not use ad blockers. They can win this fight by making sure that when you offer to benefit your aunt by installing a real ad-blocker, she responds "that's ok, I hear Chrome already has an ad blocker".

And of course, Google has all of the data needed to keep an eye on public opinion and how well this strategy is working.

I really like this approach.

Let's say you want to build a first beta. You are going to use your own server for sending mail to reduce costs and also not introduce dependencies early on.

There are two ways to do it:

1. Call the SMTP library like some here suggested.

2. Create your own encapsulation of the SMTP functionality, and call these functions to send email.

It is obvious why you want to use 2. But, from experience, it makes your code base bigger and debugging more problematic.

By using a Docker container, you are separating matters: Now sending emails is a small service that can scale in the future, but doesn't consume lots of resources today.

With a docker/rest api, it also means that have you decided to switch to Mailchimp in the future; it'll be an easy task. You don't have to go through all your code and look which parts send emails and update them. You don't have to update your library encapsulation. You don't have to redeploy your whole instance to update the code.

All you do is create a new docker instance and then shutdown the old one. Tada!
It's not just Herbalife. There are so many MLMs out there, it's madness. One former friend is a former friend because he fell victim to some German MLM, believe it was about a website where you could do conference calls.

Back when I was younger, I was a stagehand at a venue where a huge MLM, also named in the Fortune article, had thrown a yuuuge party. They rented two entire conference halls for thousands of people and had a giant stage for a musical set up, complete with pyrotechnics and everything.

Utter madness, all financed by poor people who were screwed over by their relatives or close friends...

Ah, great lie of metadata. What those in power don't want us to know is that metadata is just a weasel word for incomplete data. It tells a story about you and those with whom you associate or intersect. What's worse is that incomplete data cannot tell the whole story by design. All incomplete data lies as all summaries, to some extent, do. Some would like us to believe that this incomplete data is somehow less harmful. It is not. Incomplete data can only accuse, it can never convict nor can it exculpate - it can only implicate and paint false pictures on massive scale. To filter the false positives and turn incomplete data into data, I seriously doubt that less work than traditional police work is required to process the output. It is only a benefit to those who wish to retroactively target known and presently target unknown individuals, matching a particular signature, and assassinate them unjustly. As such, at its worst, a danger to every one of us and, at its best, a lethal distraction to those who would otherwise protect us. When they say they only gather incomplete data they lie. They gather all of it - would you believe someone who tells you "just the tip and only for a second"? I wouldn't.

Non sequitur. Your whole conclusion is based on an non-existing premise, or one that has little sense.

It's not clear why you think this article suggests precluding a healthy system in which people have the ability to afford time-saving services (in exchange of their service to others, which is arguably a foundation of any sane such system). Moreover, it's not clear what does consumption have anything to do with the point of the article; it seems rather orthogonal.

That's not true in the for example the UK, where there are a couple of corporate structures that allow you to trade as a non-profit.

And there are rules about registering for VAT: https://www.gov.uk/vat-charities/registration

VAT is complex, and it seems the advice they got wasn't robust.
Maybe that is even true, if electricity in India is mostly generated by coal plants. You might just as well charge the car using a diesel generator.

Of course this conveniently ignores the fact that electric cars get better automatically as renewables add capacity, while ICE cars stagnate.

Actually, the chilling effect is due to that the lawsuit against Gawker only went as far as it did because Hogan teamed up with Peter Thiel, who had a personal vendetta against them over a story they had written about him. By all accounts, the issue was going nowhere until he got involved and funded Hogan. Thiel has now turned his attention on other outlets, currently attacking Techdirt for the (true) stories they wrote about Shiva Ayyaduria (who Thiel was also helping in a lawsuit against Gawker, among numerous other suits he was financing). That's the important part here - lots of lawsuits, some much more frivolous than others - were being launched because a billionaire doesn't like the outlet. If the Hogan case didn't bury them, he had plenty more lined up until something did.

What's being exposed is a situation where pissing off the wrong guy can bury companies in court (and legal fees even if they're found innocent), and that it's too easy for one rich guy with a vendetta to do this. The issue is muddied because Gawker were clearly in the wrong, both legally and morally, with the Hogan tape. But, this will still have a chilling effect on people writing factually and morally correct articles if they fear they'll piss off the wrong guy. That's the issue - Thiel is going around trying to shut down media outlets he doesn't like, the fact that Gawker were a horrible outlet to begin with doesn't negate that.

"There is a monumental difference between that and writing a negative article."

Yes, and his current target wrote negative articles about his current client, articles that are backed by solid evidence that they are true. Nothing Techdirt has said is demonstrably false, and their attacks on Shiva's claims are always backed by verifiable evidence. The Techdirt case is far more defensible than the Gawker one, but the same principles apply, as does the chilling effect it will be having on other outlets.

Climate conservatives are the same as all other conservatives. You won't convince them with reason and facts, because the force driving them is the irrational yearning for the supposedly 'good old times'. Good for whom exactly?

No mater how long you explain to climate conservatives how the lengthened vegetation period and increased arable areas will help people, especially the downtrodden who rely mostly on agriculture, they will stick fingers in their ears and keep mentioning how it all used to be better. The conservatives, including climate conservatives, were never the ones to 'boldly go where no one has gone before'.

Fortunately we need not worry about convincing them. They are losing to objective reality, and can not stop the progress.

I think GP's point is the warrant isn't needed.

How I Used Python to Publish an Attractive Article on My Niche Website
Could do with an end-point to do some basic validation of email addresses. I.e a syntax check, and also a DNS check to make sure that the domain has MX or A/AAAA records, and potentially a check to make sure that there is an SMTP server listening at the destination on port 25. Perhaps all 3 of those things configurable at request time.
> You are NOT a non-profit if you sell stuff.

Depends on the legal system. From what I remember (once worked in a foundation myself) the general approach in EU is that donations are "tax-free" but if you "sell" anything, you should calc profit/loss and pay a corporate tax.

Paying for Dmitry is a statutory expense, so don't understand why that would raise an eyebrow.
For a first beta (MVP?) I would strongly advice against using your own mail server. It takes a while for a server to build up a reputation, hence mails from an "unknown" server are quicker marked as spam (especially by common services like gmail and outlook).

Instead configure a local sendmail (so you have all the benefits of local mail delivery, like queuing and availability so on) to relay through your provider's mail servers.
I would like to leanr from the article, but it is low on facts (I may have overlooked them while reading).

What is the relationship between Krita Foundation (Krita) and Dmitry?

Is Dmitry an employee to Krita living in Russia? How can there be any VAT involved?

Is Dmitry a freelancer who sends invoices to Krita?
Do those invoices include VAT? If they do, why does Krita need to pay VAT to Dutch authorities? Does he have a VatID on the invoice?

Do they just send money to Dmitry?

Speaking as a Python dev...

Light and simple REST servers can be implemented quicker with Flask - less boilerplate and less setup.

Large complex codebases often have design considerations that don't fit neatly into Django's one-model-per-view, all-models-are-backed-by-a-relational-database opinions - think apps that require immutable datastores or frequent calls to an ML pipeline. Those are often better implemented as a composition of various libraries.

The thing about organic codebases is that, you can impose a better architecture if you so wish. Frameworks often make the architectural decision for you, in which case you're out of luck if that architecture doesn't suit your application.
