Ouch, if only because I agree with all you've said.

My thoughts: "let's not rush to judgement with incomplete information, that's why we have a system for handling this".

My fears: "I don't want to go down in a fiery nosedive into oblivion with the accused because people wrongly thought I was taking their side."

My inner-monologue: "I'm a coward for using so many disclaimers, but I can also see the need given how sensitive this is for the victims. I guess I see both sides, but 'I see both sides' is a loaded term now thanks to the other guy."

Rationality is hard in 2017.

I am not saying that cheaters shouldn't be punished. It is just that I wasn't interested in other people's grades back when I did things that involved grades.

Also, if you really want that you are probably pretty bad off in most societies. Sadly, many people get away with cheating (criminals, corrupt politicians/companies, etc).

I'm very curious, what kind of communities and subjects have embraced Mastodon?

A while back there was a lot of noise about how it was a popular place with those uncomfortable topics that twitter had banned: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15053064

I clicked gingerly on the links to communities at the bottom of the article - octodon.social, social.tchncs.de, mastodon.art, mstdn.io, mastodon.technology, mastodon.rocks - and many of them have a live feed of posts.

I've gotta confess I couldn't quite tell what communities there were, but I'm not an insider and I don't know how to navigate it.
yeah, i was thinking more of an endoscopic robot arm, it would probably need quite a few entry points, and the those holes would need filling again, you could tap those and put a screw it afterwards.

but maybe it's the coming towards end of subtractive manufacture.
A simple Kernel shared with the community is better than a full-featured one kept to yourself.
Considering how most companies are structured, it's not ready to happen. Usually there's a guy high in the hierarchy who will "think like a user" and say that "users love pretty stuff" and damn, "we're professionals, we have to look professional."

I've seen it countless times, at this point "plain emails work better" is an elephant in the room.

>"I'm going to suggest if you're facing death from an AIDS-related illness, a relative risk of 2.00 vs. 1.87 will feel very, very similar to you."

I at first thought we both understood there would be some uncertainty about these values no matter what but we were leaving that out out for simplicity's sake. Roughly, I was assuming it is at least +/- 10-20%. The reason these values "feel very, very similar" is that I would not expect medical data to be able to distinguish between them.

>"Define "stable" - because even if the effect of something is fixed in the same way a physical constant it, it's invariable sampled with error."

Ok... so you are implicitly considering uncertainty.

>"Again, if I give you five studies that suggest that HAART improves survival by:

100%, 102%, 87%, 94% and 96%

are you really going to suggest that we don't know that HAART improves survival?"

Not enough info.

- Where did the uncertainty go?

- What methods were used to generate these values? Even basic strategies like blinding the people collecting/processing/analyzing data is often still missing.

- What population/frame do those numbers refer to, and how much error can we expect from extrapolating for other situations in the future?

You need a reliable quantification, doing this hand wavy "things are better/worse, significant/insignificant" is an awful idea.
>use pesticides to get rid of disease-carrying ticks

Unfortunately this solution is a bit like using a nuclear bomb to get rid of gang violence. It does indeed do that, but at the expense of destroying the entire beneficial insect community as well.

Generally pest species recover faster after catastrophe than beneficial species, so by eliminating all of the pest's competitors pesticides are sewing the seeds of future infestations.

A much better, less toxic, and longer-lasting solution would be to provide pest-eating insect predators with habitats. In nature balance is achieved by predator/prey interactions instead of razing the beneficial soil ecosystem[1] with poison.

To take just one example, ticks are naturally eaten by birds (eg chickens), and if productive bird species can be used this has the side effect of producing delicious chicken (vs surface water/aquifer pollution, soil degradation which necessitates fertilizers, and a proliferation of plastic "keep children and pets off this lawn for X hours" signs).

People's instinct to protect themselves from disease-carrying pest species is a good one. The solutions handed to them by the post-war chemical industry are not. Who coulda thunk that redirecting all our WWII chemical weapons output to fighting nature wasn't such a good idea after all?

> The plain email—which took no time to design or code—was opened by more recipients and had 3.3x more clicks than the designed email.

I think this result needs more investigation. We need to know why people open plain email more than those fancy designed ones, rather than just having those numbers.

Designed email, for a lot of companies, is a matter of style, a VI (Visual Identity) for the receiver to remember. It's a good tool to differentiate your services from others.

Also, a well-designed email could increase the efficiency of email reading as you may already familiar with some email and their layouts, so you can guess it's content even you didn't actually read any word in it (Those "What's new" email from Twitter and Facebook for example).

If everybody start to send plain email today, then there will be a whole lot more of reading for the receivers to do.

So for me, I don't reject designed emails, as long as most content in the mail is what I needed. Maybe it's a notification, verification or something like that.

I hate some company send emails which heavily polluted with contents that have nothing to do with me, and if that email was also designed, I hate it even more.
Not sure it's a mistake, rather an emotively-charged accusation.

Unless you’re deliberately enabling certain key mappings in insert mode, then yes you’ve configured something wrong. And if you have deliberately enabled these bindings, you’re probably misunderstanding Vim.

The whole point of Vim’s normal mode is to free up “modifier-free” key mappings for commands rather than inserting characters. So by extension, using “modifier-free” key mappings for commands in insert mode is a Vim anti-pattern (if you want custom mapping’s in insert mode, use mappings for them with modifier keys).

Regarding your issue, I suspect your defining your bindings with the `map` keyword when you should be using `nmap` (or better yet `nnoremap‘).
Users can't really tell that an email is styled or plain before opening it, so if the opened numbers were too different, I'd be concerned that something was up.
Ive sent many campaigns and theyve mostly been received with open arms (including cold oned). The difference (IMO) is how much value you send on each email. If it's a standard pitch then forget about it. A good email campaign is more about making a connection than making a one stop sale. Think of it as a door to door salesperson selling pots and pans versus an insurance salesperson who just wants to get to know and protect you. Always put people first and they will respond positively.

Now, sending cold emails is old school. What works these days is to leverage one of two things:

1. A general feeling surrounding the market.

2. An influencer.

For #1, we can use the following example:

There is a lot of interest in machine learning. The market is feeling positive about it. People in the market want to learn ML. You happen to sell a course on learning ML. The focus would be on creating content around learning ML and offering additional value through a newsletter. You then reinforce your pitch on the newsletter.

For #2, it's a similar process. See below:

In this case, you'd hire / partner with someone known in a specific market. Let's use ML trainings again. Your job is to provide the influencer with an offer that is highly valuable to their audience. Then have the audience subscribe to your newsletter.

To put it into a concrete example: the influencer might do a daily live stream of them going through your ML course and provide buy it now links to the audience and a way to try out the materials themselves by joining your newsletter. That's it.

Email is still very alive and kicking.

(Author here) It varies. Well done on your 9% overall CTR--that's fantastic for a list of 20k. Not all companies are as fortunate to have an audience like that, so for them an increase from practically 0% to 1% is a big deal, even if there's still more room to improve.

I should update the post to include a few more recent examples from other companies, that had higher baseline metrics but still saw improvements from simplifying their emails.

There is a third option to crashing vs. not crashing: not letting the code compile if there is any chance it might crash. That is what this "buzz about null pointers" is about.
> but when we talk about "games" in AI we do mean the classics

Only because of inertia. There's nothing inherently special about "classics". Eventually somebody will branch out once Go and poker are mined out of paper and article opportunity.

Once we do then maybe some new, interesting algorithms will be found.

In principle, every game can be solved by storing all possible game states in a database. Where brute-force storing is impractical due to size concerns, compression tricks have to be used.

E.g., Go is a simple game because at the end, every one of the fixed number of board spaces is either +1, -1 or 0. Add them up and you know if you won. This means that every move is either "correct" or "incorrect"; the problem of classifying multidimensional objects into two classes is a problem that we're pretty good at now, and things like neural networks get the job done.

A slightly more complex game like Agricola has no "correct" and "incorrect" moves because it's not zero-sum; you can make an "incorrect" move and still win as long as your opponent is forced to make a relatively more "incorrect" move.

Not sure how much of a difference that makes, but what's certain is that by (effectively) solving Go we've only scratched the surface. It's not the end of research, only the beginning.

I'm not sure as to what is fundamentally different about this JIT-compiler (except for the awesome name of course)

Is it basically just a Rust rewrite which also tries to reduce the complexity of their current just-in-time compiler?

Edit: By calling it "just" a Rust rewrite, I'm not implying that's a simple undertaking, even moreso considering the complexity of modern JS engines.

I think that was the exact opposite - they generated an interpreter from their JIT. This generates a JIT from their interpreter, like PyPy and Truffle do.

Not everywhere. Much of the Midwest used to have a fire ecology, leading to prairie and Oak Savannah. Now forests of non-fire-resistant trees crop up on any bit of unused and unmaintained land.
I believe the fundamental difference is that instead of hand-writing snippets of assembly which their JIT can append, they are having the Rust compiler generate the assembly snippets from Rust code. This lets them be much more confident that they wrote the snippets correctly, and lets them spend much less time writing the snippets so they can focus on optimizations.

> The US is just as problematic as China in these things, and has the same levels of subsidies for industries deemed important to national security.

Let's talk about government subsidies:

(July 2015)

"China's Global 500 companies are bigger than ever—and mostly state-owned"

"the top 12 Chinese companies are all state-owned. They include massive banks and oil companies that the central government controls through the State-Owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the ruling State Council (SASAC), which appoints CEOs and makes decisions on large investments. Of the 98 Chinese companies on the list, only 22 are private."

http://fortune.com/2015/07/22/china-global-500-government-ow...

Using one example to proclaim that the US is committing as much intellectual theft as China, is comical. The US has dramatically more to lose than China does, given its general technological superiority (whether at the university lab level or the corporate R&D level).

The second point is even more absurd, and very easily demonstrated to be false (as I did above). Most of China's largest corporations are State controlled entities. Most of their largest industries, such as steel, are directly controlled by the government. A very large share of the Chinese economy is operated by fully nationalized, or partially nationalized fake corporate entities. So called State corporations.

> I think this result needs more investigation. We need to know why people open plain email more than those fancy designed ones, rather than just having those numbers.

I've seen plenty of people who make quite an effort not to receive/open anything that ain't plain text for simple security concerns.
Similarly, many design emails end up being displayed butchered for users due to adblockers/email provider/client blocking outside resources and links.

Imho: If I want a website like experience I can visit the website, emails should be reserved for simple text communications, without adding needless design bloat, but that's just my personal preference.

It seems to be to generate JIT snippets from the Rust compiler, not an interpreter.
Some downsides for me are long waits/required reservations at establishments, general crowdedness (in itself and how it enables pickpocketing etc), higher background noise, and more. Having experience with some different density levels throughout my life I'll probably always prefer some approximation to the "small town" style I grew up with.
Agree completely. I wrote a follow-up post about the impact of writing shorter, more concise emails: https://www.gkogan.co/blog/increase-reply-rates/

Not surprisingly, those emails resulted in more responses than the long-winded ones.
Yes, it seems the open rate should be attributed to the subject line or the a/b split parameters more than the design...

And with the open rate that significantly affected, all other metrics would be skewed as well.

The problem we have now is not that there isn’t enough for everyone, it’s that we’re acting like that’s still the case.
I see in your case text was better performing than html, but I would not bet it's the same for everyone. It's just actually depends, and anyone with a simple A/B test will determine if text is better than email.

However the 5 reasons supporting text email are pretty wrong:

1) Poor rendering. Just use a good email editor, such beefree.io or others. Not a issue at all.

2) Mobile clients. Same as above

3) Email CSS. Same as above

4) Design effort. Yes, if you want a good result, you need a little effort. But if you rely just on text, you should put the same effort in choosing the best words. Consider than with a single Image you can communicate much more (and deeply) than with 20 lines of text.

5) Approval. Any communication department would require to approve email content, not only design.

Regarding the other reasons mentioned:

a) spam filters. Text doesn't change the inbox placement rate, the impact if any is below 0,001%, so totally irrelevant.

b) promotions tab. It actually depends on other variables, it's not a matter of text vs emails. If a transactional messages arrives in Promotions instead of Updates, you should fix the content (use a different IP/domain for transactional vs bulk), not the email format.

c) true, a template looks like something "bulk" or automated, while a simple text email may look like a personal direct email. Unless you want to cheat..
Creating objects in invalid states is definitely not idiomatic C++.
