Mailman is for discussion lists. Mailtrain is for marketing emails.

Mailman is really good for setting up discussion lists for a group or even a company, and managing all the people in those lists. People can sign up themselves, and can view list archives. You can have announcement lists, but people sign themselves up, and you generally send the announcements from your own email. If you're making mailing lists for a group of people, mailman works great, but Mailtrain is for marketing.

Email marketing software like Mailtrain, or services like Mailchimp, are for sending email blasts for marketing purposes. If you're sending email for marketing, you need to track things like email bounces and unsubscribes, to see how effective your marketing campaigns are. Mailchimp / Mailgun have additional features like report, and click tracking from your emails.
Use something else if you prefer, gold or you could even sit atop bitcoin if parties find that more agreeable to transact in.

If I say I owe bitcoin, that's a transaction where I cash into bitcoin and then resolve my debt via bitcoin, but do I want my debt in bitcoin, maybe, but the value does vary more than USD.

A credit agency might not care if you improve your credit (by paying or resolving debts) in bitcoin, or may also give the option of cash or some other cheaper transaction form.
Apple makes 97% of its revenue from Google? Because Mozilla does. Your comparison is not valid.

Abraham Lincoln studied Euclid to become a better lawyer (to learn how to "demonstrate").

I've just studied a tiny bit of Euclid, and his design of lemmas (technical theorems, not beautiful in themselves, whose beauty is neatly meeting needs in higher-level theorems), is program decomposition into modules, that you can see.

I can't be sure yet, but I feel I'm already thinking more clearly.

EDIT Euclid means "renowned," from eu "well" + kleos "fame".

This jibes well with the team-theory: "Because the lack of biographical information is unusual for the period (extensive biographies are available for most significant Greek mathematicians for several centuries before and after Euclid), some researchers have proposed that Euclid was not, in fact, a historical character and that his works were written by a team of mathematicians who took the name Euclid from the historical character Euclid of Megara (compare Bourbaki)." https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclid#Life
Summary: mild electrical stimulation of ectomycorrizhal matsutake mushrooms yielded immense gains in both quality and quantity of fruiting bodies.
If you browser fingerprint and uniquely identify someone in this scenario what is the GDPR rationale going to be?
A flaw with the engine is typically in the hands of the engine manufacturer. If your (if you are General Electric or Rolls Royce) engine breaks that's a big problem and you want to figure out why, because it could ground entire fleets. Similar things happened when there were problems with the A380 and the Dreamliner - one airline has an issue, and other airlines ground their planes until Boeing/Airbus come up with fixes.

A reasonably common model is that the airline effectively leases the engine, or at least contracts out maintenance to the manufacturer who also receives telemetry during flights.

Saying it's an airlines fault doesn't mean much, assuming they've kept to the prescribed maintenance schedule (which may well be mandated by the manufacturer). Southwest was fined in 2008 for poor maintenance practice, but that was a decade ago now.
And I'm sure it WILL be replaceable because we are increasingly surrounding ourselves with these uniform ways of doing things.

The tension between creativity and conventions is fascinating.

I recently read a book about writing (ostensibly editing) called The Story Grid:

https://storygrid.com/

Here's a video summary:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3-dw9cIx2o

It argues that the most important thing for an author to understand is the genre they're working in because the genre gives the author conventions. Violate any of them and you're setting yourself up for failure.

The best authors find creative, non-obvious ways to innovate conventions while still adhering to them.

Although some will view this advice as sucking the creativity out of the writing process, the author argues it does exactly the opposite.

Frustrated authors find the idea of genres and conventions stifling. These are the ones who abandon conventions altogether. They are punished by pouring heart and soul into a work that doesn't sell and which they themselves often know doesn't work but can't explain why.
That difference in price only gets more pronounced as you scale up.

The cost isn't just in dollars, but in time and hassle. MailChimp will halt your send and wait for a human to review it and your list practices if you hit various undisclosed triggers. Makes sense, but if your emails are time critical and have real revenue riding on them, it's not really workable.
To avoid making it too broad, don't ask "what is the specification of X" where X is the whole darn can of beans. Ask about some small example instance which falls under the X definition: what is the exact meaning of this Y object/syntax/whatever, that can be input to system X?
As much as its fashionable to hate on China and its government, it's important to understand that Foreign government social manipulation of citizen and instigate chaos is real and it's not limited to US or western countries or only through the internet. As someone who owns and runs an ISP, I see governments in many countries, through my peers in the industry, (including developed, developing and poor countries), go through great lengths to tighten the screws on the internet in their respective countries. While very few countries do it as intrusively as China - most countries do it at some intrusive degrees, with laws and regulations.

Political destabilizing through the internet is a real thing and has been for many years and as more companies rely heavily on the internet for their business - stability of the internet infrastructure is very much tied to individual countries economic health and faith.

Does China go too far in regulating their internet?
Most probably yes.

Is China's internet policy completely unreasonable on unfounded security grounds?
Abso-fucking-lutely not.

The problem is no one really knows what the middle ground between the openness of the internet and policing it just the right amount. So we end up with an extreme case like China.
This seems more like Computer Vision than augmented reality.
One of only eight (known) transmissible cancers?

I have to figure this isn't the eighth time cancer has managed to transmit itself as a contagion, granted that multicellular life has been interoperating for billions of years.
Google Play Console only works with your primary account.
It's nice and all that but I think there has been far more influence on what would be called philosophical questions like why are we here, how should we live, why is there evil, what is consciousness and the like from scientific discovery than from any of the books in the list. Things like the discovery of DNA, the big bang, evolutionary psychology and neuroscience have had a big impact on how we see the world. Those books I'm not so sure.
Maybe its a pipe dream, but I'd love to see a really affordable ARM machine with a forever battery life - like one of the OP1 Chromebooks running Linux instead of ChromeOS+Crouton.

Is it likely for Crostini to support ARM anytime soon?
The outcome I'm referring to isn't just the sinking building. It's the clusterfuck of a sinking building and years of chaos that could spill over into extensive costs for others. Long-tail outcomes perhaps can't be eliminated, but they can be 100% mitigated through planning and insurance.

Medical care has a much longer tail, for example, but many countries manage to provide full financial coverage and individual support in treating and managing even very rare diseases.

If you're saying this was a reasonably forseeable but unlikely outcome of cost-driven skipping out on the bedrock anchoring that neighboring buildings used, the I don't think it's too much to ask them to have an answer to the question of, "Ok, if your cheap solution doesn't work, what will you do next?" And if they don't have a good answer to that, I also don't think it's too much for them to not be allowed to build the thing.
Supposedly SES is much better at deliverability than it used to be and you can pay an extra fee for a dedicated IP which somewhat isolates you from other users.
Yes, people can redundantly shard their data to multiple cloud storage services. We plan on offering such a service if there is demand for it.
Looks neat, but i hope they find a reseller in EU (with actual stock, not like those "homebrew" consoles like Pandora and GCWZero that took me two years to actually get one because it was always out of stock - which sucks since i really like it, but the limited availability harmed it considerably) since it sounds like you'll need to pay VAT and at the customs office yourself (which is extra annoying when you actually have to go there yourself).
Heh, I guess. In my scenario the users actually got that uptime too, ‘cos they were connected over LAT...
She didn’t get on the bus that day going “I am going to deliberately bring attention to this country’s domestic problem today”. She just did not feel like getting up and surrendering her seat.

what happened afterwards is what made it a historic act. Before the year-long bus boycotts began, she was just some black lady who got arrested for disobeying the law.
This is exactly what Qubes offers. Have as many separate browsers as you like, each originating from a different IP using VPN proxyVMs. Or just run everything through Tor using a Whonix gateway.

Mailtrain will help you manage your email campaigns and the marketing list, but isn't going to help with deliverability. If you have SES setup with SPF and DKIM, and you're removing emails from your list when they bounce, Mailtrain isn't going to help your deliverability. Its job is very similar to what Sendy is already doing for you.

You could also take a look at Mailgun, which is more expensive than SES but might work better, and Mailtrain has Mailgun integration. In either case, you could look at adding a dedicated IP for your lists, which would help for deliverability, but increase costs: IPs are 24.95 a month on SES, and 59 a month from Mailgun
In busy channels in medium-sized companies, lack of threading is a huge pain: person A says "Hi, I'm trying to do X, how do I do this," person B says "Hi, I'm getting error message Y" 2 minutes later, someone shows up 5 minutes later and says "Have you tried installing this thing" and they were talking to B about solving Y but A tries to install it and use it for X and then everyone is confused and wastes time.

Slack is positioning itself as an email replacement, and to some extent all of these tools are replacing at least some email. Imagine taking 20% of your email and not having subject lines, just authors. What's the "LGTM" for? (Or worse, the sender anticipates that and says "Re @pm at 00:10, agreed" and then you get to track that down.) Or imagine taking your in-person conversations, the ones that you'd eventually want to move to IM to support distributed or remote teammates, and having a rule that you couldn't go up to someone's desk, instead every in-person conversation had to take place at this one water cooler. If multiple people wanted to talk, well, either they can have multiple conversations in front of each other, or they can wait until one conversation is done.

(Slack's implementation of threading, meanwhile, doesn't actually solve the problem that well because of the way it pushes threaded conversations to a side. Imagine email without a reply-all button - it solves some problems and creates so many others. You can and should live without Slack threading.)

... also, another argument that threading matters: you're using a threaded forum right now. Remember phpBB? Would HN be improved by switching to a phpBB-style UI? If you unindented all the comments on this page and sorted them by time, would it be a workable experience?
Unnecessary and gratuitous dig at Trump and Ajit Pai at the end of the article, especially with no supporting evidence or explanation given.
>Previous earthquakes have revealed flaws with some skyscrapers. A widely used welding technique was found to rupture during the 1994 Northridge earthquake in Los Angeles. (Many buildings in San Francisco and Los Angeles have not been retrofitted.)

That statement really boggles the mind.

How do you own some of the most valuable property in the world, and not maintain it in the simplest of ways against something that could literally destroy your investment? After 24 years of knowing that your building was in danger?
Is it absolutely necessary to always write (tm) after every Mylo? It's so distracting. And, well, corporate. It's gross.

How do we get to a world where we can stop doing that? Or do we already live in one and not everybody knows?
Honest question. Why don't people buy old laptops instead of cheaper new ones? I'm no expert but the cost to performance ratio isn't to far off. I am typing this on T420 Thinkpad laptop. I get desiring to use open hardware but at the detriment of performance doesn't quite make sense.
FWIW: the 18-105 has an ED element for "only" $400: http://imaging.nikon.com/lineup/lens/zoom/normalzoom/af-s_dx...

[The 55-200 also has an ED element for $150, but that looks like a sale effect, with an original price of $350]
I'd love a computer with those specs, twice the cost, with a great keyboard and trackpad.
Two metrics for developer greatness:

1) How complex are the real-world problems that you are able to solve effectively?

2) How robust and long-lasting are your solutions?

Note that these metrics are actually not specific to software at all!

---

The post essentially says the same thing near the end, with the distillation: "the ability to acquire knowledge, and the ability to solve problems".

Interestingly, you could view this as actually only looking at a single variable, but considering both its current value (problem-solving ability) and the change over time (ability to acquire new knowledge).
Wifi looks like it is 1x1 SISO and 2.4 GHz only.

Can it run Debian?
How big fine should be, according to you, to really deter them?
Carl was great to listen to. Instantly recognizable.
Cool, will definitely take a look. What do you recommend for list management?
I bet this is cheaper, and lighter than your thinkpad, with a better battery and require less care.
The universe was created from nothingness, so yes.
I drive an EV not made by Tesla. GM barely markets the Bolt/Volt (which are great cars) at all, mostly just trying to reach other EV buyers. GM also lobbies against any fuel economy standards.

But suppose you’re right, that the only way Tesla has been able to sell so many EVs is by fanboyism, by Musk’s hype machine. But that then deserves your praise not derision, as Musk has been able to make EVs cool to the masses. If EVs must be hyped to gain traction, and Musk successfully hyped them, then Musk deserves the credit even more.
Marijuana can actually trigger anxiety disorders in some people. The fourth time I tried marijuana it kindled a panic attack which led to OCD. My life was completely ruined for three years, and I still haven't fully recovered to how I was before.

I hate when people act like weed has zero risks and tout it as the cure for anxiety. Based on my experiences with several different psychiatrists and therapists, it seems that anxiety problems caused by marijuana are fairly common in the patients that they see.

Edit: if you actually want something safe to treat flight anxiety, ask your doctor about a medium acting benzo or a beta blocker. These medications have been well studied by the medical community, and pharmacies ensure that you will receive the exact dosing required. This self medication stuff is complete crap.
it has nothing to do with signal strength. the fact that they were able to inject a fake ring tone, means that you were connected to the tower just fine.

the issue was that they couldn't connect the call to the other phone's telephone company and pretended it had reached it.

i.e. if you call overseas, you don't hear our ringtone, you hear whatever their ringtone is.
Curious: would making big pieces, like sliding glass doors, be automated, manual, or a mixture of both?
Is there an official article/tutorial detailing how to use them and use cases with examples?
Amazon Is Adapting William Gibson’s the Peripheral into a TV Series
Would the downvoters explain their gripe with this comment? Am I missing something?
I agree that MailChimp or other hosted email platforms offer value add over Mailtrain. They're SaaS, they work on deliverability, etc.

However, Mailtrain is nice as an alternative. Even if you don't want to use it, its existence means that SaaS must compete with it.

If you become large, you could get a dedicated IP address from Amazon SES ($25/mo) or others and own your deliverability.

Mailtrain, WordPress, and others might not be what you're looking for. However, it's great that they exist. They provide competition for SaaS which pushes SaaS to be better and a release valve should the pricing of a SaaS solution get too out of hand.
The housing shortage is a completely self-inflicted wound. Like Prop 13, it benefits current owners at the expense of their children and other newcomers.

And even when housing can be built, it is overly expensive due to insanely conservative zoning requirements. A great explanation of just how awful it is in LA is here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/LosAngeles/comments/6lvwh4/im_an_ar...

And SF and the Bay Area have been even worse than LA at building housing.

Crazy conservative (in the sense of "no change allowed") people dominate all the planning meetings, which control what can and can not be built. Meeting code and zoning is not enough, you have to convince the extreme ends of your opponents to get anything built.
If the media didn't report the super delegates as in the bag, and didn't surreptitiously do everything they could to bias their coverage toward Hillary, and Bernie won the primaries in a landslide, do you really think the super delegates would still cast their votes for Hillary? Do you not see the flaw in this logic?
In my career, the biggest factor in my growth as a developer has been working with better developers. To work closely with someone who is really good at what they do is the best education you can get.
Exactly. Software is merely a medium to express such ideas. Only charlatans occupy themselves with the burden of polyglotism.
I do agree. You can get used X and T series Thinkpads for a couple hundred dollars. They will outlive most cheap new laptops.
Is there public documentation for the differences between the CE and EE editions? The website mentions that EE "provides improved performance and security for production deployments". What types of performance and security optimizations are locked behind the EE edition? What is your criteria for determining whether a new optimization belongs in CE or EE?

I also want to echo others' concerns about the license, lock-in, and lack of explicit patent grant. It's a shame that Oracle's (well-deserved) reputation is tainting so many excellent engineering efforts. I hope that these comments serve as some form of feedback about the very real cost the Oracle brand has suffered as a result of its legal activities.
I got this thinkpad without hard drive for under $100 so they are a lot closer then some would have guessed.
Me too. Brave gave me back the ability to browse the web on mobile.

Now if I could just force pages to load in Brave instead of web view, that'd be amazing.

Related tip: if you open the Google app, menu -> settings -> Accounts & privacy -> disable Open web pages in the Google app, that will fix it for google now links.
I wonder, if he didn't fall in love with that animal, what would be your response then?
/sigh. Yet another "privacy" solution that's solves the wrong problem.

You prevent the big bad company from spying on your browsing activity while, at the same time, explicitly posting to the big bad company's first-party site messages containing all the juicy bits of private information that you went through all that effort to prevent them from inferring through your other activities.

And we pretend this is helping, rather than just adding noise to an already confusing technical landscape.
UKSM: Swift Memory Deduplication [pdf]
Human being operates at three layer. Physical, mental and spiritual. Modern science is focused almost entirely on the physical. While mystics (largely from the eastern traditions) have been focused on mental and spiritual since antiquity. Especially mystics/monks of India have written thousands and thousands of books on these two levels, including systematic and scientific approach to learn, acquire and practice powers/capabilities of the mind and consciousness.

>>> In very remote times in India, thousands of years ago, these facts used to happen even more than they do today. It seems to me that when a country becomes very thickly populated, psychical power deteriorates. Given a vast country thinly inhabited, there will, perhaps, be more of psychical power there. These facts, the Hindus, being analytically minded. took up and investigated. And they came to certain remarkable conclusions; that is, they made a science of it. They found out that all these, though extraordinary, are also natural; there is nothing supernatural. They are under laws just the same as any other physical phenomenon. It is not a freak of nature that a man is born with such powers. They can be systematically studied, practiced, and acquired. This science they call the science of Râja-Yoga. There are thousands of people who cultivate the study of this science, and for the whole nation it has become a part of daily worship.

>>> The conclusion they have reached is that all these extraordinary powers are in the mind of man. This mind is a part of the universal mind. Each mind is connected with every other mind. And each mind, wherever it is located, is in actual communication with the whole world.

>>>> Have you ever noticed the phenomenon that is called thought-transference? A man here is thinking something, and that thought is manifested in somebody else, in some other place. With preparations — not by chance — a man wants to send a thought to another mind at a distance, and this other mind knows that a thought is coming, and he receives it exactly as it is sent out. Distance makes no difference. The thought goes and reaches the other man, and he understands it. If your mind were an isolated something here, and my mind were an isolated something there, and there were no connection between the two, how would it be possible for my thought to reach you? In the ordinary cases, it is not my thought that is reaching you direct; but my thought has got to be dissolved into ethereal vibrations and those ethereal vibrations go into your brain, and they have to be resolved again into your own thoughts. Here is a dissolution of thought, and there is a resolution of thought. It is a roundabout process. But in telepathy, there is no such thing; it is direct.

>>> This shows that there is a continuity of mind, as the Yogis call it. The mind is universal. Your mind, my mind, all these little minds, are fragments of that universal mind, little waves in the ocean; and on account of this continuity, we can convey our thoughts directly to one another.
If it's about avoiding stack unwinding, then maybe you could hack an implementation with the condition/restart system? This is the one stack-preserving feature in CL.
I think its just grating for grammar nazis, rather than a legal issue. It's like saying sheeps.
