The web is missing something between reddit and HN comments, and long form articles.

It’s difficult to have a good discussion in the comments. And if you do, it’s quickly lost to time.

For example, I can’t have a discussion about why I think the Amazon Alexa is “Making a Dent in the Universe” without being drowned out by the privacy debate,

So, I started a blog where I can [attempt to] write my thoughts in a short piece.

My musings can go in place that I can revisit:

[UPDATE]

I just got downvoted because someone didn’t like what I said. Happens all the time. I’ve gone several levels deep explaining why I disagree with the common opinion.

This brings up one of the other benefits of writing out your thoughts and opinions in a blog, you don’t have to waste FU karma trying to explain yourself.

I definitely miss running my blog. Might have to get back into it.
Yeah, Monero seems a bit more user friendly in that respect.
Getting a lot of nostalgia as well ... for most people, social media has 100% replace the "need" for maintaining their own individual blog. They can post their thoughts to facebook well enough, and their friend list (when shared) essentially functions as their blogroll ... you can see who anyone follows on twitter, and (when allowed) on FB, so you can traipse through an interesting person's friend list and see what else you can find.

That's in no way excusing the state of affairs. As I mentioned, I fully agree that _something_ has been lost since those halcyon days. The blogs that existed (there was definitely a higher barrier to entry than opening a social media account) each went their own individually quirky ways (at least, until the staggering conformity of everyone using blog engines like Wordpress (<3 ya WP, but you made the world bland)). It was great when a contributor had their own little corner, and would actively customize it (in much more interesting ways than the MySpace pages of yore).

Probably a cultural thing. I don't see a problem with this. Depending on the meeting, there is no way it will end in 15 or 45 minutes.
If it finishes earlier, great! everybody goes back to work. Sometimes it goes longer, and people have to check if it's being productive, or if they need to gather more info to come back later to subject.

30 minutes seems ok for a meeting. Lower than that, maybe you don't even need a meeting. Just some chat in a slack group.

Not the OP, but I've been running my own email server since about the same time-frame (and it started life on a dual CPU Pentium 100Mhz box). Total time investment since circa 1998: estimated maybe 100-200 hours total (note, over an approximately 20 year span), and most of that was spent during the inevitable of reinstall new OS on current or newer box, then move config over portions of the process.

I've also always been on Postfix, which has always been way more secure than sendmail ever was at the time. And Postfix is also much easier to configure for the basic case of "send/receive email for a personal domain".
Thanks for posting this. I'm currently running a similar setup and to me it's a horrible technical debt. Any ideas how to migrate multiple mailboxes for multiple domains to a managed solution?
nvi (default vi on (I believe) Net (and therefore Minix), Free, and OpenBSD) supports what sounds similar via “:script”. You have to split your window (or fg/bg the buffer) manually, though.

I guess I am not currently litigating whether Soros is evil or not. I think his points are real and others also endorse them.

I guess this is sort of a weird article, just saying what others have said but this time repeating it because the source, Soros, is unique and for some has more authority because is very wealthy. Basically nothing is new in the criticisms.
I wonder how the profit/risk ratio compares between the poor, slightly better off, and wealthy.

How much of these costs are appropriate economics (e.g. due to defaulting, management costs, etc) vs abuse of the relatively powerless.
It does increase costs, and not everyone will want to do it or have the means. But it doesn't have to be a full on video production. It can just be a phone mounted near the soundboard, plugged into the soundboard, so you can actually get great sound. I love listening to "live" music on YouTube, but it's not a replacement for actually attending a show.
Notice what's at the very end. The head of Dutch intelligence says that because Trump is president, he shares less with the US:

"AIVD director Bertholee stated that he is extra careful when it comes to sharing intelligence with the U.S., now that Donald Trump is President."

The mere fact that Trump is president is harming US security. And the head of Dutch intelligence is willing to say so publicly. That is pretty striking.

If that worked well they would not need a radar system. Accurate binocular vision is a hard problem we make a lot of assumptions about how the world works.

Again here is a sample image. http://iowahighwayends.net/ends/June06/16/34exit263_99_halfm... Notice the road bleeds into the sign, but based on experience we assume the car is not about to hit the bridge at road height. It's a single image, so we are not using binocular vision to figure this out.
Oh, nice - that's even better!
I don't know ... I feel like those aggregation sites ended up killing the golden goose. People stopped visiting individual sites (and adding them to their browser favorites) because they could just visit the aggregator, and eventually they became the primary destination ... so maintaining your own blog was merely a way to get onto the aggregator.
For most cases it should just be a drop in replacement. IIRC they promise not to break the API between point releases (except tf.contrib.* which may change or disappear entirely...)

> mail servers are not for novices

I invite you to look at hMailServer. I set this up when I had a reasonable clue about SMTP and only a vague understanding of POP3 or IMAP. Let alone how spam filters worked ("they look at words like viagra" was my understanding) or what mailing lists are.

It's really a Windows-like utility in the sense of next-next-next-finish. By now I despise most Windows Server wizards for not being flexible enough and prefer command line tools on GNU/Linux, but this mail server is one thing I just cannot find a good replacement for, and the interface provides everything I need (no need for command line or config file magic).

Umm, no: an icloud/appleid can simply be generated (here, make yourself a few: https://appleid.apple.com/account#!&page=create ).

For an itunes ID sure, as a side effect of it being a billing ID, but your itunes account doesn't have to have the same email address or even be connected in any way with your appleid. Mine are like that.
Why not use 2017 numbers, especially since diversity is often about achieving something close to parity with the general population:
"56% White, 35% Asian, 4% two or more races, 4% Hispanic or Latinx, 2% Black and less than 1% American Indian or Alaskan Native, and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander" (only US employees)

From your use of the word "leftists", I suspect you and I wouldn't agree on much; however, on this point I agree with you. Someone above mentioned the "paradox of tolerance" and I think your observation fits perfectly with that. I feel strongly about many of the same things that BLM and MeToo does (just to give some concrete examples) but I don't think believing in those things necessitates erasure of people who think differently. Unfortunately you find a lot of the "erasure" sentiment out there and usually they are the loudest voices.

> but a crux of the argument seems to be that many say this is not what the memo said.

Those people are right. The full text of the memo is readily available. The author not only didn't say this, but repeated numerous times that this was explicitly not what he was trying to communicate. There is no reasonable, charitable way to interpret those who misrepresent him.

I think this brings up an important point. Some people insist on painting this as a "diversity champions vs blithering racists/sexists" issue, ignoring the numerous legitimate criticisms for the current approach to diversity.

I'm vouching this, it's a perfectly fine comment.

I think a sizable portion of the diversity arguments are brouhaha caused by people who don't speak specifically and clearly.

I'm not always good at it myself. But when "say what you mean, and mean what you say" isn't at least someones goal for their choice of phrasing, then they're probably just going to make things worse.

Also, people don't have an obligation to instantly re-cast everything they hear into the best possible argument for a poorly made point. You can make a good point poorly. We should stop blaming the reader for not bending over backwards to take it the way the writer wanted. Or, maybe, at least stop calling them autistic.

> In your opinion, did the google memo touch on similar topics?

The latter, yes (in the sense that the question was relevant to the memo, not so much that the memo coherently attempted to address it), but it wasn't the memo I was referencing here here—it was other posts, either in internal social media or on external forums with clear links to employees.
This is a very good guide.

One nice thing about the programs he chose is that their config options are fairly stable (can't vouch for Solr). That many moving pieces would be absolutely unmanageable if the options changed frequently. Been using a similar setup for years without difficulties.

Adding something like fail2ban into the mix wouldn't hurt.

If you're going to do this, first check that your VPS / ISP allow inbound traffic to port 25/tcp. AWS allows it upon special request. GCE doesn't. Don't know about the others. In the US, most residential ISPs block 25/tcp inbound.

Indeed, "why not just"; I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.

I'll assume the latter: Even if you were able to perfectly maintain an accurate 3D model of the surrounding geometry (and associated trajectory of all moving objects), it doesn't mean you have enough information to make 100% accurate predictions. For example, a frozen over road often has very nearly exactly the same physical geometry and color, but extremely different behavior to cars trying to drive on it. Other weather effects like fog or snow bring their own challenges.

You're right though, that precise and accurate 3D models do do a lot to make driving easier and more correct, the problem is that the hardware necessary to produce those models is still very expensive (LIDAR). Most (all?) of the advanced self-driving prototype cars use LIDAR, while Tesla has decided that they can do without for their consumer models, sticking with just the simpler and less expensive RADAR and cameras.

In theory, Tesla's right, since humans get by just fine with only two "cameras", but we're clearly a long way from automating that level of performance.

Thanks for the clarification.

Last time I used it was about 2003.
I don't know why there's so many downvotes and patronising "fly swatter" remarks. There is a use case for this.

For example, sharing a photo album with many pictures. Or a mixtape. Or some song lyrics. I can't upload those to the cloud for copyright reasons.

Or if I want to make the transfer while away from Internet e.g. skiing, hiking, waterfall trip, etc. - there's no access to Internet services, so iCloud/Dropbox/Google Drive just won't do.

I can use lighttpd to serve the folder, but then the user has to hold down and "Save to Camera Roll" for each picture separately.

If both phones have Airdrop, then that's fine. But many phones are not iPhones. We could both install a special app for Bluetooth transfers, but we don't have Internet access, remember? So no app store.

There's a Mail client on every phone, however locked-down it is. If I can serve a collection of files over a local network and send those directly, not one at a time, then that would be very useful to me.

I think a mail server is one solution. If you can propose another flyswatter that meets my requirements, go ahead. Otherwise I still want to find a way to code a mail server, and the parent article is helpful for that.
Initial setup took a few days of experimenting, that was back in the days of Sendmail. After that is ran fine for a while until spam starting becoming a problem. I eventually implemented a spam filter with Spamassasim with a nightly cron job to train it with spam which made it past the filter. After a few years I added greylisting to the mix which ended up complicating matters a bit due to some common mail hosts (Google and Microsoft being the biggest culprits) breaking the concept of greylisting by using different mail hosts for resend attempts. I made a script to add all SPF-allowed IP ranges for a domain to the whitelist which solved that problem.

Total time spent on the mail infrastructure over these 22 years is negligible, probably ~8 hours per year.
I'm not a medical professional, so I'm unsure about the details.

Aspirin is, to my knowledge, the only NSAID that works as an anticoagulant due to some mechanism other than affecting prostaglandins and is therefore recommended by doctors.

Other NSAIDs, however, consistently increase the risk of MI, for instance: http://www.bmj.com/content/357/bmj.j1909
> Acceptance comes through dialogue, and mutual understanding.

Do you have any actual empirical evidence or research for this? This reads like window-dressing for thought-police. "You don't accept our views? Sounds like you need more dialogue (re-education)."

In a business setting at least, tolerance allows individuals with different beliefs and motivations to work toward shared goals.

Which was my point. I know it's better integrated and has better documentation (some coworkers were fans, plus what I read online about it), but I still think going with mainstream is the better choice when writing a general post like "how to run your own mail server".

Not that guides for "how to run a mail server on FreeBSD" shouldn't exist. Just that then it should be called that, and not be general advice to anyone who might be googling the general title. There's so much bad press for running your own mail server, while really it's not that hard with the right tools and explanations.
It's 1985, so that's not weird at all.
I think a lot of people tend to think (or act like they think) that to get rid of racism/sexism/.*-ism, you need to kill the privileged people, instead of getting rid of the privilege itself.

Killing the privileged people will only create a newer class of "privileged". It's like a never-ending cycle of martial artists killing another martial artist, and his son coming back for revenge and killing the aforementioned killer martial artist, and so on.
