Slightly off-topic, but that is the main reason I do not want to have kids: I am not sure I would like the kind of person I would become.

Sometimes I am already paralysed by fear when thoughts about my future take a dark turn (relatively often), but at the end of the day it is my well-being (and my wife's) we are talking about, and we are economically independent adults. We could take a hit or two.

Ask HN: How to maintain IP reputation in email campaigns?
Based on this post[0] I have a question to startups/eCommerce sites, who do email marketing.

How do you maintain IP reputation if you want to keep costs small.

Does using services like MailChimp fixes all of your issues?

Any tips and hints for companies to keep email marketing cost small?

Java and Go aren't the only programming languages that happen to be comparable to Python and Ruby, while offering good performance.

Common Lisp, Scheme, JavaScript, ML variants come to mind.

Having been part of a startup that used a dynamic language without a world class JIT/AOT compiler (Tcl) back in the first .COM wave, teached me to never do it again.

The incentive would be to produce more for the same cost. One human plus one robot produces more than one human alone for the same cost.
I've never experienced an issue with e-mail going to spam. You might want to look at debugging it [0], to see if it's really SES's fault. It's possible your outbound domain has a reputation issue, but I have no idea how you address that I'm afraid.

Maybe it's a variation of the anthropic principle? Earth is not a Venus simply because we're here to observe it.

We don't (yet) have data about climates on Earth-like planets in other solar systems. It could be that Earth is an extreme outlier in having a stable climate system.
> There is really no good reason to allow any server to send emails on behalf of any random domain.

Except for mailing lists. And email forwarding. And a lot of other stuff you take for granted. Users might not explicitly know about the technical details of how a lot of things work, but that doesn't mean they don't expect the resulting behavior.

It's fashionable, these days, to put authentication and authorization in the transport layer. It's not a natural law, though. As an example, consider s/mime or pgp message signing. MDAs could validate signatures and discard messages that are not correct. This is an example way to solve the auth problems you describe without breaking existing mailing lists, since you'd be validating the content instead of the envelope.

Just food for thought. SMTP isn't as broken as you think, and replacing it isn't necessary to solve today's problems.

Understood, just wanted to state that it seems low. I launched some companies in the UK and the amount you quoted was from a tenth to a thousandth if the actual cost depending on the company. But the lowest (ramen startup) cost for those services was 10x higher than your quote. So maybe you are really nicely priced or you get in clients this way and up sell? Which is a viable sales strategy by the way.
Haskell was an "incremental" improvement on Miranda and a consolidation of features from a zoo of lazy functional languages sprouting forth from Landin's 1966 article "The Next 700 Programming Languages."

Your comment reminds me of the Feynman Algorithm [0], which is pure gold:

1. Write down the problem.

2. Think real hard.

3. Write down the solution.

"The Feynman algorithm was facetiously suggested by Murray Gell-Mann, a colleague of Feynman, in a New York Times interview."

Mailchimp pricing has always struck me as a bit perverse. I have a mailing list of about 20k people for A Soft Murmur[1] and I send very occasional emails. A "pay as you go" Mailchimp plan costs about 1 cent per email, so in my case $200 per newsletter. But a "monthly" plan only costs $150 per month for 20k subscribers, with "unlimited" emails per month.

So it's cheaper for me to go on the monthly plan for one month, even if I know I'll only send out one newsletter during that time. If there's any chance at all that I might send more than one email in that month (rare but it has happened), then it's less than half the cost.

It just strikes me as weird.

I should really switch to a cheaper provider, but given that I only send a handful of emails per year, I haven't found the time yet.

I am not sure I want hard components located inside a helmet. I was hit on my motorcycle, head on, and Superman-ed into the car that had crossed into my lane.

The helmet saved my life, quite probably. It was so effective that Buell wanted it back to study it. Other than smashing my hands and one ulna, I was just a bit battered and bruised but the helmet was a wreck. The bike was a complete loss. There were pics online, they probably still are.

Anyhow, unless you're going to end up with a heavy over-sized monstrosity, the electronics are going to take up space in the padding. I may be biased, but I'm kind of partial to that padding.

By the way, get certified helmets. Inspect your helmet for damage on a regular basis. Replace damaged parts. Replace any helmet that has been involved in an accident involving any force to the helmet.

Of all those, a certified helmet seems to be the more pressing issue. I see many people wearing novelty helmets that are just as likely to cause additional injury as they are to prevent injury.

Ride safe.
This does work for you, if you're on to something, even though the fact applies that you cannot know if the thing you're on to isn't already discovered and/or correct, which are things that are mostly impossible to know: https://www.xkcd.com/1163/

Your point about working/collaborating/trusting in others is a twofold thing. Environments where everyone thrives to their max are very rare and hard to protect. Centrally here, being aware of what you need and how you can work with (or without) others is the crucial thing, and yes, reverse Dunning-Kruger happens to the best of us.

I am not sure I agree with mailing lists. I don't think the email needs to look like it is coming from a user. There is nothing wrong with the email looking like it is coming from the mailing list itself (unless I misunderstood what you mean by mailing list being a problem).

You can't ask regular users to run pgp themselves. This is a prime example of the sort of technical details that a user shouldn't be asked to even understand or be aware it exists.

The symbols and letters are so wrong. Inspecting the element shows that the font family is STIXGeneral.

On the other hand I find it amusing that an editor that purports to be "distraction-free" uses fake italics (known as \textsl in LaTeX) who are incredibly distracting to me. It also uses fake bold but at least that's slightly more tolerable. Look if you want things to be both minimalistic and "distraction-free" you have to make the typography perfect otherwise mistakes in typography stick out like a sore thumb.
Very nice little story and good advice, but I think most of us feel that completely disregarding others is not always the best solution. It really is a exploration vs exploitation problem.

DCTCP improves congestion control by using ECN markings to estimate the extent of congestion instead of just the presence of it. Given congestion markings on all of the packets in a window, DCTCP will halve the window just like traditional TCP does when it detects packet loss or when TCP+ECN does when it sees a single ECN marking. If DCTCP sees fewer markings it will back off proportionally less.

It's just a story about a human being at a particular point in his life. These stories do not yield lessons that are applicable at all times and to all people. They are just insights that may help a particular person at a particular moment - just as he was helped by having that insight at that time. At another time in his career he might have had the opposite insight: I need to immerse myself in listening to others.
I don't see what his epiphany of disregarding has to do with genius or intellect. It seems more like his own life lesson about self-doubt.

If you ended up in prison from your own mistakes (whether it was breaking the law, appearing to break the law, getting caught or something else entirely), it does warrant thinking about whether the choices you made are suitable for where you want to go in life. Of course if you were partaking in civil disobedience, it's another matter and my comment here assumes we are _not_ talking about civil disobedience.

This has nothing to do with whether the law is good/fair etc.

Agreed.

No, it wasn't factually incorrect.

December 1999, it hit a high of $59.97.

As recently as November 2016, it was still below that line. Between mid January 2000 and September 2016, it didn't once cross above $59.97 in all of those years in-between.

Go back to as recently as August 2015 and you could find it under $40 still. It was $28 as recently as April 2013.

Even if you didn't want to look up specific date prices for the ticker, a 30 second check on its long-term stock chart will reveal my statement was correct. Slightly more than 15 years of stagnation in fact.

Inflation adjusted, it went down considerably over that time. That's not accounting for their share buybacks and dividends, which if you're lucky might have off-set 15 years of inflation.

Your attempt to claim I was wrong, consists of stating they generated a 10% return over seven years. Even if I were wrong about what I said (fortunately stock quotes are easy to check), that's comical. Go ahead and post what the annual return for those seven years was, under your 10% premise. Then find me an investor that wouldn't consider that stagnation. And that's the idealized scenario, the actual scenario is that the stock proceeded to consistently generate mediocre returns (or worse) between the post dotcom bubble era all the way into 2013.

The point of noting Microsoft's 15 plus years of stagnation in the market, is that their future returns were pulled forward. That's exactly what happened and investors suffered accordingly.

I mean both UIs (not specifically rails) and machine learning, and emulators, and CRUD, and even software like compilers which was already well-researched by then. These days a compiler can be whipped up by an expert in a day or two (for small languages).
But we also have lost the ability for regular people to look at the machines they use every day and understand them purely by inspection, with no “black boxes”. That’s no small loss.

While we can now use computer controlled machines to cut materials at higher precision and into trickier shapes than ever before, mechanical knowledge and skill is in the hands of a smaller proportion of the population. There has been a significant erosion in the broader society’s skill at physical/mechanical reasoning and invention.

We have amazingly precise calculators and displays but the elimination of slide rules and nomograms and physical measuring devices and drafting tools and the steady reduction of geometry in school curricula mean that geometric intuition and insight into the numerical relationships involved are on the retreat.

Instead of inventors, machinists, assembly workers, or repair technicians we are left with a society of salespeople and paper pushers, with the occasional computer programmer or statistician.

Even folks working in architecture, industrial design, mechanical engineering, or similar careers today spend most of their time sitting and staring at a screen.
The reasons in the article might be valid for this particular company, but in my experience, the performance aspect is less valid in 90% of applications.

Either, the database is the limiting factor (and thus, languages like Python are fast enough, anyway) or the really performance demanding parts are located in <5% of the coding.

In my case, I enjoy the productivity that Python gives me and if I encounter such cases, that demand very high performance, I implement them in C or with Cython (or both).
I don't think CR tests reliability. They survey subscribers to measure quality... which seems more scientific than Amazon reviews, where it's an art to ascertain quality.

If they take the apache approach, and its a loadable module, sure.

I personally don't want Apache loading mod_ssl (or this module either) when I'm not using it. With things like nginx, caddy, etc you have to recompile to remove that part, if it's even possible.

I think it works for everybody but you need to be brave or crazy enough to apply it.

If you pay attention to what the others are doing, you are working inside what is socially acceptable in your group and usually you are not going to go against the stablished truth. Hence you will not be able to add any breakthrough to your area of expertise.

Feynman as the post says, experienced this social anxiety once he had the fame. He was able to recognice that you can not truly advance in new topics if you don't ignore social preasure, even if it's self inflicted.

Of course that means that you risk being called a crank, or not getting tenure, or grants for your proyects.

There is huge value in incremental knowledge, but to be Einstein, Watson or Feynman you first need to publish something new that most people will not recognice as valuable at first, if ever...

Edit typos.
It was a pleasure to read, but of course it should be taken with a grain of salt and not applied to every field :-)

Imagine being in a software team and disregarding what others are doing? Screw the rest of the team, I'll work on my own better solution and ignore the parts that are already working well!

You might end up with a good solution to the problem, but you'll also manage to piss off a lot of people ^^

A more valuable 'quote' from Feynman would be to "Test everything yourself". Don't just take for granted the results of others but verify it yourself. That (in the field of software) can be quite valuable :-)

Still, loved reading that blogpost!
Because it’s one of the most data driven industries with petabytes generated everyday of actual user behavior so abnormal usage, especially wild clicks, are among the easiest to catch.

In general it is high risk and high reward. You need to have sufficient confidence in yourself that what you're doing is valuable to a community that is hostile to you. If your work ends up not being recognised as important, then your losses are much larger than if you followed the crowd and did incremental research. There is probably analogous stories with start up scene, incremental start ups get funded, those considered too radical are not given money.

In science it is not obvious whether or not your work will be important or recognised as important until much later.

From the point of view from the entire community it makes sense for individuals to go big risk, but for individuals sometimes you also need to manage your risk differently
