Cold outreach is a lot like caching: the millions of people who have successfully implemented it, written down their process, and documented their results are not all lying. This doesn't necessarily imply that "put a cache in front of it" will always work.

You say you haven't had any success. Draw out your funnel and dig into where, specifically, you are failing.

Do you have a raw volume problem? Which of the following is most representative of how many emails you send per day: 50? 10? 3? If you have a raw volume problem, is it because you cannot identify people to email fast enough, cannot identify contact information fast enough, or cannot force yourself to push the send button fast enough?

Do you have a response rate problem? Is your response rate much, much lower than, say, 10~20%? If you have a response rate problem, is it because your subject lines are bad? Is it because your offer is bad? Do you have an attractive offer? (There are ways to position "talk to insiders to figure out how I could help them" that are attractive to the insider and ways that are less attractive. What is in it for your counterparty?)

Do you routinely transition conversations into a successfully scheduled conversation? Does that conversation typically go reasonably well or not go well? Do you have a specific next step in mind after that conversation? Do you have high uptake to that next step?
At the time Google was experimenting with off-line apps with their proprietary Google gears.

At the time, Google and Apple had a very close relationship and I thought it was odd that Apple didn't implement offline web apps via gears.

Most iphone apps are, after all glorified web pages.
And what I wonder is whether the label should be interpreted as a warning or as an endorsement.

I can think that I'd view it as a recommendation for higher-than-average quality reporting as with BBC or PBS, or I could view it as a warning against potential misinformation, as with RT or Press TV.

I don't think that's a good tactic. Google and other ad companies have plenty of money to spread disinformation against Mozilla, if they wanted to.

If Mozilla's users are saying “yes, this is good; please do more”, Mozilla can use that as a defence against any resistance from advertisers.

I find the Touch Bar frustrating. It's probably because of the way use my MacBook Pro on my lap a lot. I find that I often accidentally press buttons on the Touch Bar because my hands naturally rest in that area.

My real problem with that model is the sticky keyboard, though. My space bar and several other keys are intermittently unresponsive, which irritates me no end.
What do you think will be future of Bitcoin 4 or 5 years down the line. I am not talking about cryptocurrency or blockchain, just bitcoin specifically. After hitting heights it has became more of a commodity/stock rather than a currency.
> it's becoming acceptable to use violence as a response to something you don't like

And your evidence for that is...a Youtube video? Do you have statistics? I work at a university and have had to take training required of mandatory reporters. I have not seen a single sign or policy change from the higher-ups that would indicate that violence (either by me or what I witness with students) is to be more tolerated.

> The student was arguing against free speech zones. They are illegal [2] in the United States

The video in [2] features someone a director of an advocacy group giving a lecture about "Ridiculous Cases of Prohibited Speech on University". And he [the advocate] does not say that free speech zones are illegal, he says that he believes that they are unconstitutional and that he has petitioned the school to stop the practice of free speech zones.

I also believe that free speech zones are bad. But what I and that advocate believe isn't law, and the fact that you can't tell the difference about something so basic really limits the credibility of your other non-evidence backed assertions.

Why are you citing people who you yourself characterize as "an example of a loud person on YouTube" and a "caricature"? Are you honestly letting people who you admit are obviously trolls guide your perspective* and inspire such vague, wishy-washy-worded assertions like "There are many people in the US right now that blame everything on whites"?

I didn't even think about the subdomain until I saw the image that is in the article here - which literally looks like it added an arbitrary number in the subdomain, duplicating the parameter number! When I saw the image I thought the article was actually about blocking some shady way of leaking that doubleclick had invented.

The thing about k8s is it sort of forces you into best practices, immutable images are built and run instead of ansible or config management duct-taping them together. So he replaced his ansible playbooks that build his apps with Dockerfiles

How are you deploying and maintaining your k8s clusters? There is some bootstrapping for nodes but k8s is distro and cloud agnostic... Stateless golang binaries plus etcd. It seems like you should be singing it's praises in that regard on the provisioning front?

Funny enough there has been some work on "self hosted kubernetes" where even the components themselves are inside k8s. Pretty cool will probably be the future of cluster bootstrapping: https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/bootkube

I'm curious for your reasons for saying k8s is overvalued. You are the first person I have seen that has worked with it and came away with this opinion!

Yes, me and a friend from the robotics club at school tried it the other year (everyone else in the room was pretty annoyed) it works but it's very finicky:

Your sound card is going to work best in some small band of frequencies (around 3khz if I remember) the mark and space tones have to be pretty far apart and the volume has to be turned up pretty high.

Turning the baud rate up increases your error rate so unless you're including error correction in your transmission that has to be pretty low.
Yes, strict regulations. Private providers in Norway have a number restrictions on which services they can provide which tends to be much stricter than most places.

The argument for this has traditionally been that there is a unique scalability problem in medicine: You can't e.g. just educate twice as many heart surgeons, because they need a sufficient number of operations that they can assist in etc. to gain proficiency with real patients, and that pool of patients is limited.

This creates a problem where not restricting which services can be offered has the potential to lower quality of service for all. Something that's a particular concern in countries with smaller populations.

The services that are not restricted are in general areas where there's either a higher volume of patients, or where it requires less training. A sinus infection is a good example of both.

Note that I'm not arguing that this is worse in any way, but used it to delineate one of the most restrictive alternatives when it comes to the availability of private services.
The title is a little disingenuous: the author concludes that while city birds are evolving to be fed, it's not necessarily detrimental as studies show that birds constantly seek backup food sources.

Interesting article nonetheless and it certainly makes me reconsider my own bird feeding practice. It's been years at least, since I gave bread to ducks - I'd love nothing more than to see permanent signs at lakes and ponds pointing out how bad bread is for ducks.

Clickbait headline?
Third party logins are definitely a use case. But you'd think that they would aim to do it with logins.somewhereelse.com/?u=source instead of relying on the referrer field as the source to go back to! I wonder how common actual use of referrer is?

The real question being when we will be able to switch off IPv4? As long as we don't, the pain associated with the IP shortage will have to continue to preserve backward compatibility. So really IPv6 will not actually solve the problem for a very long time.
Except real currency has no real good backing it either.

It would be interesting to know the age group of those 1 million and why did they leave. I left Facebook 6 years ago and its a never come back! The time I used to browse Facebook was replaced by reading books, articles or even just to do nothing which is still more valuable comparing to wasting time on FB. The only thing that was interesting for me was the feed from tech companies and tech news which now I just use twitter to do so.
When I was young and getting my driving license in Madrid I had to take a bus to the place were exams were done, in the south of Madrid(Mostoles).

A friend of mine worked on IKEA and he told me that it was a lot of expectation as the founder had gone to Spain and it was taking the same bus that I took in order to visit the stores in Spain.

It was surprising to me that someone owning billions will take the bus, while I was trying so hard to earn the necessary money in order to get rid of it.

Once v6 reaches the same adoption of v4 then it'd make sense to transition v4 out. I'm guessing addresses will be released and not redistributed again, eventually completing a total recall of v4.

We're still 2-3 decades at a minimum from that milestone though.

This project looks really great and all, but one thing I’ve come to appreciate is portable language processing tools. Like this is an js parser in typescript so I have to have node installed to use it (I’m assuming). The trend is language y parser in language y. So I have to install language y environment to use it.

I guess I’m saying really portable language parsers would be c libs with wrappers for n languages, or language servers.
Having worked in lot of languages (most recently — Go), I can say PHP by far is the best to get the job done especially when it comes to web related stuff.

PHP let's you be what you want to be. If you are an architect with years of experience building a suite of microservices where you would want to use lot of bells and whistles, testing, dependency management, etc. do it. If you are a novice programmer looking to create your wedding website and have a simple contact form, do that as well!

Best part, each request is a clean start and independent.

There have been many inquires into this by Swedish journalists over the years, but it's a very dense structure of companies with unclear ownership and structure. So who controls it is unknown.

It is also a great tax evasion schema since the ownership is a charity (that donates money to "product design"), allowing IKEA to escape vast sums of taxation globally.
> The regressive left is the SJW that tells the Norwegians they can't use their own letters because Nazi decided to co-op their culture back in the day [1].

How closely did you read that article by Sputnik News? Because I didn't see any mention of "SJW" or the "left". All I read were statements that people were worried the team would be wrongly seen as far-right because one of the symbols on their team sweaters is the same symbol that a neo-Nazi group uses.

This is what it says at the end of the story:

> The decision to dump the design has reportedly induced especially strong criticism among neo-pagans, Viking reenactors and fans of the national ski team for "giving up" the collective ownership of ancestral symbols to a tiny, unrepresentative minority.

So tell me, which of those groups are part of the "regressive left" that you claim are telling "the Norwegians they can't use their own letters"? I guess it would be overkill for me to point out that that graf actually says the exact opposite of what you claim, which is that the "strong criticism" is coming from groups who are mad that the Norwegian team ISN'T using the symbol.

If you only cater to a limited set of specific clients who do not move around the internet, you might get to that conclusion. But if you need to be accessible from the general public and/or your clients may connect from anywhere in the world (mobile/public wifi/home/etc), you will likely have to support IPv4 and architecture your solution around it.
