There was an old article in Omni in the late 80s or early 90s that claimed if you did a coordinated attack on only 6 transformer stations across the US, it would take down the whole grid for months. Given that they've never caught the people behind the Metcalfe attack, I do wonder if it's still possible: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metcalf_sniper_attack

Ah, but you see when Plato was saying pharmakon (drug, poison) what he actually meant was pharmakos (scapegoat); since he didn't actually say pharmakos, by its absence that must be the true meaning!
Like I said, everything is affected by historical context. What's odd is to pretend that the present situation is somehow an exception.

And the defense that the larger number of women in CS in the 80s was a long effect from the war still doesn't make sense, given that the number had been going up for quite some time at that point.

Ask HN: Sending a reminder user activation email -Mandrill, Mailchimp or Marketo
When a user gets added to our app, we send them a user activation email via Mandrill.

We want to send a reminder email 1 week after the first if they haven't activated their account.

I want to just use Mandrill again, but some on my team think we should use Mailchimp in a scheduled/drip campaign, or Marketo using triggers.

Is there any general knowledge or guidance about what kinds of emails should be sent through each type of system?

I suppose it does doe that, so does this though:

I don't think it's worth the dependency. But perhaps for others it is.
Another thing which has bothered me in the past was that a set of 2-tuple integers could be mapped by a set of 1-tuple integers, seemingly without any information loss.
> Then why is it so many other countries don't act as we do?

That's simple: they're weak and can't get away with it. The baseline conduct of nation states is basically that of fairly rational psychopaths, capable of evaluating what they can get away with. Deviations from that norm are mostly reminiscent of irrational psychopaths. Anyone who expects "moral", "just" or "trustworthy" behavior from a nation state is just out of their mind.
Might a parallell be draw to Kant here?

General and bland would be as akin to "analytic a priori". All bachelors are unmarried, that sorta thing.

Specific and surprising would be like "synthetic posteriori". Such and such plant is blue and grows in the Himalayas.

The real gold would be in the "synthetic a priori" findings. Blending the generalness of logic with the newness of empiricism. Like figuring out geometrical laws from observing nature. New information AND far-reaching implications.

Am I on to something here?

Some alternatives:

- Make it possible to introspect the state and effects of the code on your dependency in the real implementation, and use that instead of a mock.
Can then put the assertion into the code (a post-condition, design-by-contracts style) so it always runs, not just for the few explicitly written unit-tests. Those unit tests can be deleted in favor of something that tests something useful, like running the logic on

- Return the effect (messages to be sent) instead of doing it internally as a side-effect. Then introspect and verify this data in the test. The dependency on the message queue can now be elimitated, both in test and by the complex piece of logic

OK, but you have to understand the dynamic in this neighborhood. I also live about 1 mile from the new Apple campus, in a slightly different, though very similar, Sunnyvale neighborhood.

You prep your house to sell by getting all inspections done ahead of time and staging it reasonably for showing. Agent-only open house tours are on Tuesday in my neighborhood. Buyers' agents make a short list of properties worth visiting with their clients. Open house on Saturday or Sunday, take offers the following Wednesday or Thursday. Expect 10+ offers from pre-qualified buyers. High bidder takes it, assuming they have a clean offer and financing.

If any house in this neighborhood sits on the market for more than two weeks, everyone wonders what is wrong with it.

As a seller, though, it is a one-way trap door. If I sold today, I'd never be moving back into the same neighborhood.

Someone below said to the effect that is is a push-in bought for the land. That happens, but not so much in this neighborhood. The houses were built in the 1960's and are well constructed. There are older homes in some areas that are smaller that are the push-in candidates.

BTW -- I chatted with a neighbor that was one of the original buyers on my street in 1961. The four bedroom floor plans sold for $21,000. $22,000 if you wanted insulation in the walls. Oooof
"TM with oracle" can be more powerful than a Turing machine. As long as this halting oracle can only apply to ordinary Turing machines (without oracles) I don't see a contradiction.

Is It Possible to Write Bug-Free Code? A Case for Thorough Specifications
I can't comment on how well it was implemented in PC-Write but it won't be far-fetched to say that Sublime made multiple-selections mainstream. I had seen some references to vim plugins that offered that feature but it had limited abilities. The three ways of doing multiple selections—selecting multiple instances of a word, placing multiple cursors downwards in succeeding lines, and using point and click—made Sublime's implementation vastly more powerful.
Our family adores "Blue Moo", as well -- the Personal Penguin song is our favorite, but many others on that album are adorable.

Easily. I know a few people from my agency days who had sub 100K followers made $50K+ annually (and got a bunch of free trips) through paid promotion.

Personally I find it kind of depressing that bikini babes and comedy bros are making that kind of money for that kind of "work," but in a society as obsessed with fame, youth and beauty as our is, it shouldn't be that surprising.
Simplicity is part of it but it's really also the business model. With good focus they exploited a unique opportunity at just the right moment: SMS arbitrage. To offer "free" messaging when carriers were beginning to offer affordable data plans for third party apps, yet still trying to disproportionately monetize SMS. And this came with a very, very strong network effect.

If carriers had proactively disrupted their business model and offered free/cheap SMS sooner, it's unlikely that WhatsApp would have succeeded despite their simplicity and focus. This is why they never took off in the U.S., where carriers did away with SMS fees faster.

Having said that, focus is absolutely a reason why WhatsApp beat out its other free-messaging app competition. But the "mind-boggling earn out" is more about the business model -- network effects, exploiting incumbent blindspots, etc.
The small things are really well done.
The vast majority of people have nothing very precious to lose to text message leaks, or even photo leaks, but they do have a lot to lose credit wise and financially from identity theft.

Seriously, I'm open for arguments, but the data Google has on me is definitly not as risky. Maybe I'd lose some pride, but not money and financial power.

And lets be real, the problem is that government and financial institutions don't use secret passwords, but only ids to authenticate you. That's where the change need to happen.

Well, in contrast to a physical thing selling two copies is exactly as costly as selling one. I'd argue that that more than covers the cost of continued development.

Stallman has the unfortunate habit of being proven right over time. It's unfortunate because I, like you, don't necessarily share his same fervor for freedom as he defines it, and actually used to more than I do now approaching middle age. That said, my point of view does occasionally cause me pain as reality intrudes. I suspect eventually most his views will be seen in a much more favorable light as they are able to be compared with more and more situations proving his points.

Here's some interesting reading, a search of HN comments about stallman being right.[1] You might not agree with every instance (and not every instance is indicative of the point), but seeing the submissions the comments are generally on does tell an interesting story.

> The political landscape doesn't sound like it's changed much in 100 years: People trying to preserve beautiful open spaces, and other people trying to exploit them for financial gain.

I am quite fond of national parks, but note that the conflict isn't quite as morally black-and-white as your phrasing implies: when I lobby to preserve beautiful open space, what I'm trying to do is use public resources to secure a private good (my viewing pleasure) and prevent others to enjoy the use of that land; likewise, when someone else tries to exploit a resource for financial gain, he's meeting the needs of others on the market. I'm not a selfless hero, nor is he a heartless villain. The reality is that we're both acting in what we believe our self interest is, and we're both acting in order to serve others.

I wouldn't be too surprised if this is true. The USA wants to ensure that all energy deals are done using their "petro" dollar.Assad could have/is threatened to trade using euro , much like Saddam did(Iraq made a windfall from that decision when euro went up) before the Iraq war.Many people say that was one of the motivations behind the Iraq war.
From the point of view of "onboarding" (aka barriers to entry), as you say, point-and-click is miles ahead of the unfriendly-at-first-glance Vim.

But I'd like to say that I cannot honestly recall an instance where I was in normal mode and ended up pasting something -- I assume you mean Ctrl-V-ing and having the paste interpreted as commands? -- once I got used to it after leaving Sublime Text, which I'd say took me a couple of weeks of hating myself. It's a matter of how much effort one thinks it makes sense to put into learning the editor, but IME there is a significant payoff, even if it is hard-won.

I'm not sure if it's harder for some people to internalize (which is by no means a value judgment; it's why Emacs/ST/Atom/whatever exist and are powerful) but once that is done, one never gets confused about what mode you're in simply because one is almost never in insert mode! "Probabilistically" speaking, you are in insert mode for 0 time. ;)

In any case, I don't hate non-bimodal editors, just hope that the subset of those using them who have not seen Vim for what it is yet do so quickly. (And, of course, there are those who are genuinely repulsed by modal editing, and that's fine!)

I can't speak to "inordinate amount of time screwing around with plugins": I have a plugin for each language I use, and perhaps four or five others. The rest of my init.vim (I use Neovim) is about ... 30 lines long? It's my experience that most (Neo)vi(m) users use little of the power of plain vi -- I know that because I myself was like that for almost three or four years after I started using Vim. (This is ignoring, e.g. large Java projects, where IDE-style code navigation is basically a requirement if you want to get anything done.) But there is definitely a culture where a customized-to-the-hilt editor is seen as something to be proud of, and why shouldn't it? It's what you "live in", isn't it? :)

We don't censor the opinion that people should be able to have sex with children.

There is a very clear line and it's called the First Amendment.

We censor child porn because it is a crime that involves a victim.

Once you start talking about censoring people who might cause people to commit crimes, you've crossed a philosophical boundary into policing thought crimes.
Or one could start a business part-time and only switch to it full-time when/if things are going well... which is what the Warby Parker founders did and now they are either CEOs of or are on the board of a unicorn start-up.
Nope! It's probably quite accurate. The article opens with the March 1989 geomagnetic storm which caused massive blackouts in Canada. Canada implemented upgrades like the ones the US should get, to a cost of 1.2 billion[1]. Of course the US grid is significantly more powerful but the Canadian grid is spread much more sparsely, making it more vulnerable- regardless, the cost is certainly within the same order of magnitude, as the US grid only consumes ~8x more power and Canada is larger.

It really speaks more to the absurd level of war spending than anything else- and it truly was absurd. Trillions in direct, congressional spending. We shipped 12 billion on pallets[2] to Iraq and lost it, and most people don't even remember it. The cost of revolutionizing the US power infrastructure is literally peanuts compared to what we have spent in the middle east.
