I don't know where you got that "lie" from. Posteo doesn't allow custom domains in order to have as less information about the customer as possible (what it calls "data economy", meaning it doesn't want to store data wherever it can be avoided). I have seen the FAQ multiple times, where Posteo has had this answer for not allowing the use of one's own domain. [1] I don't like that Posteo doesn't offer custom domains, even if someone is willing to make the tradeoff that Posteo believes it to be. But I don't see anything wrong in its ideological position.

_____

> Can I use Posteo with my own domains?

> No. We are an email provider with a particular, privacy-oriented model – and this is not compatible with incorporating own domains. One of our emphases is data economy: we do not collect any user information (names, addresses, etc) of our customers. We always answer requests from authorities for user information in the negative. On the other hand, own domains need to be registered to the name and address of a person. If you were able to use own domains with us, this would affect the entire concept of Posteo: we would need to start saving user information for all customers who use their own domains with us – and to provide these to the Federal Network Agency to be provided on request to the authorities.

> Even if only the MX record pointed to us, we would still need to store the assignment of the domain in your Posteo account as user information. Thus we would possess your user information and be required to give it out. For this reason, we have decided not to offer this possibility and instead to use data economy. We certainly understand that having your own domain is very important in the commercial industries, but from our privacy-oriented perspective, the disadvantages prevail. It is, however, possible to add various other email addresses with external domains as senders in the webmail interface and thereby to send emails with Posteo using external domains. In order to be able to read replies to these messages, you need to set up forwarding to Posteo for the external address.

Also please see its stance on privacy [2], where it emphasizes minimizing the data collected from the customer.

Those multiple writers, multiple readers are not free. They waste billions in server/electricity costs over traditional architecture designs. The most prominent blockchain bitcoin costs 2.5 billion dollars a year [0] to process a miniscule fraction of what Visa can handle.

Tech Insider – Google's Instant Apps Hit a New Milestone

I see this as a HUGE privacy risk.. Google will have access to Everything..

Yet another item in Googles updates I have to "uncheck" to ensure only apps on my phone have access to my data.

If this follows to its ultimate conclusion, I bet Google wants ALL apps only in its cloud so it has total access to ALL of your personal information.
Oh, I think I agree that Facebook couldn't actually go to a fee-based model, for precisely the reason you describe. I just suspect that the revenue-optimizing number is still below $20/month for them. And even then they won't get enough conversions.
Dart story is a little different AFAIK.

Flutter uses Dart. Flutter targets Android and IOS. IOS does not allow JIT. So they had to make AOT compilation (native) for Dart. Even before Dart 2.0 work started. In Android, first they used JIT but switched to AOT there as well. JIT is used in Dart console applications (server).

The biggest change with Dart 2.0 is that it uses a sound type system (strong mode).

If you are expecting or planning to have a child, don't join a startup. Startups take a huge amount of time by their nature, and that is time you should be spending with your spouse & child. I know this sounds harsh, but I made this call myself and don't regret it at all. If you haven't worked in a larger company with more generous benefits/time off policies vs small startups, you might not understand how much higher your new family's quality of life will be.
If anyone is interested in wsgi I would recommend you have a look at bottlepy[0]. Helped me a lot back in 2009 to understand wsgi when the single file library was just above 1k lines.

Unfortunately bottle grew just below 4.5k lines, which is still lightweight compared to other frameworks. But not so easy to fit in your head anymore... or I'm just getting older.

It feels like Orwellian level double-speak to market an app that is designed to allow Facebook to monitor at your mobile traffic as "protecting" your phone and "securing" your connection.

They say a good salesman can sell ice to an eskimo. Well, today we found out a great marketing person can sell spyware as security software.

Can't we expect in a few years to dynamically change what actors have been cast as what charavters with a flip of a button? Deep fakes already look pretty convincing.

Also, insert some scenes, remove others, change the cut a little bit, change color grading, music mix – all these changes look like something modern AI could learn to do.
Reading this subthread I'm imagining the slow-mo of a bullet hitting ballistics gel coated/covered with $generic_amazing_bulletproof_coating, the impact, and the ripple effect.

I can't help but wonder if something coated with something perfectly bulletproof might actually make things worse depending on the bullet's angle - for example, under ideal circumstances, a bullet could enter and leave and take out some fat - but if everything's covered, the whole surrounding area is going to get some serious bruising instead.

Possibly. </Armchair commentary>
Debugging the broken cURL Lite error reporting from Google
About that specific question, the term you're looking for is "pitch class".
Maybe you could find a way for people to even send mail electronically. Over the internet. Almost a sort of an e-mail type of thing, if one were to be so bold as to coin a new word for it. Us smart internet engineers could even probably come up with at least 5 well-defined protocols that no one actually adheres to. This could be fun!!!
Email is quickly becoming the equivalent of linked in notifications. When you have 100 unread emails you might be flooded with something important. When you have 20-100 thousand unread emails: Email is broken

It's the electronic memory of nobody cares. I will potentially spend 5-30 minutes a day on email... Most days it is zero
This seems like a good idea on its surface (even to me). But in every case I can think of where an algorithmic approach was taken to producing "high-quality" "high-value" artistic content, it's produced things I have zero interest in that the greater population seems to dutifully consume and not even really enjoy all that much.

Youtube is positioned to take a similar approach, and it turns out the formula that works the best is sociopathic narcissists of a certain age with certain facial features producing 10-minute videos of rats getting tasered 7 days a week.

I think this might be a situation where the gap between what people want, and what people will consume, is very wide. And the algorithms know how to produce what people will consume, but they do not know how to produce what people want.
I was hoping to leverage multiplatform work primarily using the JVM and only dipping into native-specific code here and there, but this makes it difficult. It's not like they force me to use/buy WebStorm to use Kotlin JS.

At 1325km it's an extra 18ms so still well within the realms of usability.

given that they're aiming for 4425 satellites in total that would give them 66 loops of 66 satellites spaced 730m apart, meaning that when one satellite is overhead the next satellite will only be at most 1512km away line of sight.

A POP or edge location is a server (or multiple) that the user traffic is being routed to, hopefully close to the user. A CDN consists of multiple POPs, one in each region, with intelligent traffic routing added (as described in the article).
A Quest to Make the World’s Best Chocolates
I read this

Of course, we’re a hosted “cloud” service. If we turned bad, we could start silently changing your email. The best defence against any cloud service doing that is keeping your own copies, or at least digests of them.

Does this remind anyone else of that old Gmail Paper April Fool's prank? Last bastion of immutability. http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,288...

That’s not quite true. Ansible will happily run locally without SSH. A machine can easily be configured to pull Ansible roles from git or S3 and then run a playbook.
Absolutely not. None of this is possible or even desirable. We don't want to watch optimized video. We want to watch stories that move us, created by geniuses like Coppola, or whoever you think is good.
Dirt and gravel roads were commonly oiled to keep down dust, and eventually create something like macadam. But they tended to use the least expensive oil available. Such as used motor oil. Which, back in the days of leaded gasoline, contained considerable lead.

I hate it too. Mainly because my behavior - especially on Yelp - is to open multiple restaurants in tabs in my browser. Even on mobile. Then I can compare the ones I like.

This is impossible within their tabless "embedded" browser. So I end up using my laptop.
...and by "most expressive C++17 [program]" it actually meant this:

> So the purpose of this challenge is to write a piece of code that contains as many features of C++17 as possible, and that is as clear as possible.

...which, clearly, states that the goal was not minimize lines of code.

I bet D fanboys can find more apples-to-oranges comparisons where D comes out as the most citric alternative when compared with apples and bananas.

And by the way, the contest was organized by a couple of blogs, and the winner was a self-confessed amateur. Hardly a tour de force in C++ programming.

> Internet was a "solution in search of a problem" too.

No, no it wasn't. Close to light speed communication provided about 10 orders of magnitude faster/cheaper communication than before. I cannot even fathom how someone would not immediately realize how that massive increase in communication would not be useful.

Contrast this with blockchains which are practically 10 orders of magnitude more COSTLY since every node has to process every transaction when you could just do that on one server (hence why bitcoin transactions cost 2.5 Billion dollars a year to process a fraction of what Visa can process).
Figure this might be the best place for you to hopefully notice this.

I see that 1000-denier tights do exist (TIL). Could a sport/compression-specific fabric blend be produced that has extremely high compression and also high abrasion resistance?

Compression clothing is notoriously fragile; it all-too-happily shreds itself at the slightest tug or snag. That keeps "big sport compression" in business, but these items are $150-$400 retail...

There's a very big demand vacuum for solutions in this specific space at the moment as far as I can see.
You don't need every transistor to work though. If you can detect when a module has a broken transistor, you can simply disable that module and sell the rest of the chip. Divide the cache into multiple small modules, and it is not a big deal if you have to deactivate one because of a broken transistor. You would probably be deactivating it anyway for market segmentation.
Not at all accurate, assuming the "real CDN" is well run.
This can be managed by getting the software engineer's input into whether something really is a P0 or P1. The Product Managers should also know their users better so they can chime in and not consider everything to be a fire.

Mature projects are also supposed to have an increasing percentage of the time spent on them dedicated towards maintenance / upgrades / fixes / upkeep. A PMO that can't convince upper management of this is a weak PMO.
I like the example here. I want to outwardly acknowledge the obvious force that is preventing the baker from putting drugs in their recipe: government regulation and law enforcement.

I am an American but I am well accustomed to learning that other countries are able to prevent certain consumer abuse before it replicates at massive scale by acting early and adjusting along the way.

On reading the title, I was kind of hoping that it meant that all DVD player creators would be free to stop imposing the artificial restrictions present on many DVDs, like region locks, "unskippable" tracks, etc. But it looks like the primary driver of those restrictions is actually the DVD Copy Control Association, which I'm guessing holds a different set of IP and legal agreements than MPEGLA does.
> I am appalled that a 125-line program to do such a simple job could win.

The goal of that challenge was to pack the most C++17 features in a program, and it was just a challenge organized by a couple of blogs.

The winner was also a self-confessed amateur. That's a telltale sign of how many people have participated, and the level of engagement that the challenge had.
It seems like such an unreasonable request that it must be an accident. If it is on purpose, the company believes it own your personal time as well. Best to disabuse them of that notion. “Sorry, I already have something planned for Wednesday night.”

Released from jail necessarily implies the government will "mess" with them.
Hmm. In the writer’s situation, it was somewhat more than an old pal with a habit of telling off-colour jokes. Friendship involves acceptance of the other person and their values on some level, and we’re talking about a Daily Stormer writer who promotes Nazi rallies and celebrates Timothy McVeigh. I’m sure Weev is an absolute charmer.

Engaging with people and being friends with them are different things.
I'd suggest an alternative way of looking at this:

Know how many kids you can handle / afford. Is one enough? Two? You can have a family, pass on your traditions / genes without creating too large a financial / time burden.

If you're successful enough to work at / start a startup, you can probably afford a nanny. If one of you can work from home, you can have a nanny w/o having to worry about leaving your kids with a (near) stranger. Even for people with middling careers, two incomes + nanny expenses is usually better than one income, one full time parent.

My wife and I both work, a lot. We have demanding careers. We've had the exact number of children that we're confident we can afford long term without compromises. We have a nanny. I work from home to supervise the nanny and make sure our children are ok.

We have an awesome relationship with our children and are involved in their lives as much as anyone else. There is a bit of juggling e.g., taking turns attending school meetings but that's not really a big deal.

Both of our incomes have increased since we started having children. Neither of us saw a dip in income. My wife did not have to choose family vs career.

If you're thinking there's no way you could do / afford this then seriously consider foregoing the "let's get rich" startup or children. The idea that everyone thinks they can have everything is absurd. That's harsh reality but reality nevertheless.

Unless you're wealthy or live off of the government, children and startups are a luxury. Stop whining about what you don't get. We all have choices. No one has to have kids or work at a startup.
From my perspective, progress hasn’t halted but there was a deliberate effort to reign in the pace of changes. I appreciate how much easier the migrations were through the 2.x series vs 1.x.

This is still a major problem in distribution. Some of the best workers are in their late 50s and they are familiar with older equipment in the field that the younger guys may have never seen.

They would much rather use pen and paper to report what they did or didn’t do, with little appreciation for the reporting that could be done with a bit of input on the computer.
YES, we know! If there truly isn't an alternative to PoW, yes then we are pretty much fucked. Quite a few more efficient alternatives are currently being tested (and I guess a lot more are to come), and it looks very promising.

OK lets say we abolish patents tomorrow, and companies do what they did before - start using trade sicrets and copyrigt law. Netflix/Google/Apple/Amazon team up to create a great new codec that can only be used as a binary blob, because its compiled obfuscated etc. - something like what the game industry uses right now to protect games.

People start poking around to figure out how it works, because hackers are curious folks like that, some code gets leaked at some point, and someone starts doing codecs as open source, for fun and fame. Said companies use that os and improve on it, crating the next generation.

Now iterate this a few dosen times and what I think companies would figure out its easier to just team up and outsource this kind of stuff. Or maybe we’ll see what happened in the game engine world - with only copyright protecting the code - devs would not be able to use “the exact same code” but could incorporate new techniques at will, limited only by their brilliance.

And then there will be paid and OS ones, but the paid ones will have reasonable terms because of strong competition from other paid or OS codecs. In any case I think it would be an improvement to the current situation.
"After watching the first 10 minutes of the first lecture, was so good I immediately got my super-non-techy housemate to watch it, after explaining how revered among programmers the book is. She said "Thank you for showing me that!" hehe."

Yeah, the lecturers are really good, and IIRC, the videos were professionally produced (HP paid for them). The book is written like course material for a maths class, more than a commercial programming book.

you’ll note that in their statement at https://gsuite.google.com/learn-more/security/security-white... they explicitly refer to no advertising in the G Suite Core Services. those are defined here http://gsuite.google.com/terms/user_features.html. not listed in the G Suite Core Services is regular Google Search. so what they’re saying is is that none of the data you put in any G Suite Core Service like Gmail, Drive, Groups, Keep, Sites etc will ever be used to target you with ads.

however, anything they can get from your browsing habits via google.com search and other ways of tracking you via data you may expose from non-G Suite Core Services, are fair game.

i have been a personal and corporate admin of G Suite nee Google Apps for 5 years. i believe the policy is adhered to by Google through my own anecdotal use as user and engineer over many domains and companies. and i believe who claim they can prove Google is scanning paid G Suite account data and using it to target are not realising that non-cloudsearch ie regular google.com searches and everything connected to your G Suite profile based on those searches is what is getting you targeted.

not the use of G Suite.

There used to be a base layer/arm warmers that was crash resistant made by DeFeet. I could only find an older article about it.
http://www.roadbikereview.com/reviews/defeet-introduces-line...
They only made it for one year so it didn't sell well enough to continue making, it cost $200 at the time which is about six times what an ordinary base layer cost back then. I bought one when they went on clearance after the first year and it actually did kind of work in a crash, though since it is abrasion resistant what ended up happening is I got a burn on my shoulder where I slid on the pavement instead of losing all the skin.

Professional cyclists typically don't buy anything, almost everything they use is provided by sponsors, and/or to display tech/goods as marketing for sale later to amateurs.
