Fair enough, those are good examples. I take back the ad-hominem.

The term to describe what happened in North America is settler colonialism (where settlers seek to replace population with their own rather than assimilating it).
Yes, but not always, and not necessarily for long.

"While the cost of resistance is highly variable, such resistance mutations or genes often come with a fitness cost that reduces the rate of bacterial proliferation (Dahlberg & Chao, 2003; Melnyk et al, 2015)." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5371735/

"The success of resistant mutants critically depends on rapid counterbalancing of the decreased fitness by acquiring compensatory mutations (Levin et al, 1997; Marciano et al, 2007), which in most cases restore normal growth while preserving resistance to the antibiotics (Marcusson et al, 2009). The number and variety of compensatory mutations required to successfully compensate fitness cost varies with organism (Palmer & Kishony, 2013, 2014; Cheng et al, 2014) and the particular environmental conditions under which compensation occurs (Testerman et al, 2006; Hoffman et al, 2010; Toprak et al, 2012; Lindsey et al, 2013)."

Basically, resistance become extremely important so anything that works get's adapted. But, after that point the search for mutations that reduce cost shows up. The second stage also depends on continuous exposure to antibiotics as reverting the mutation in a population is relatively simple.

I work in 911, Telematics, alarm, PERS space. We are a PSAP (Public Safety Answer Point)

The device might send a Geocode, but reverse geo-coding (turning a long/lat into a human readable place) is a highly inaccurate thing. Secondly, most responders have no means of turning a long/lat into a point on the map, short of using their personal phone. Next, altitude is not factored in. Imagine being in a downtown office building. If nobody is downstairs to guide responders, or if the caller was unable to speak, they will have a really difficult time determining just which building/floor you are in.

Its all gotten much worse with the advent of mobile/VOIP and now, WIFI phone systems where your phone can move. Its a system ill equipped to handle it.

Hello Everyone,

Almost all of us are familiar with the challenges of keeping our email lists clean. Keeping your lists clean not only helps maintain your sender reputation but also decreases unnecessary costs and frustrations.

However, though not complex, it is extremely tedious and time consuming to keep an email list clean. Especially if you have a growing subscriber base and the tools you use do not have required checks in place.

We were also in such a situation with our mailing lists and that is when we built a list cleaner that is useful yet simple while respecting privacy by design.

Our list cleaner works right in your browser, ensuring that your subscriber data does not leave your computer. You can also save your original list with detailed diagnostic style comments. Check it out (https://mailswift.io/list-cleaner/)

What it does
- Weeds out duplicates
- Removes all emails with invalid TLDs (There are 1543 Known TLDs)
- Detects high risk domains (We currently track 3753 High Risk Domains)
- Filters emails with bad syntax

What it doesn't do
- Deliverability Check
- Detect Catch all
- Detect spam traps/honey pots etc.

More Info:
- It is a free tool
- The tool comes with complete data security

This is spot on. It's just like any other marketing tactic - it works well until everyone else starts doing it.

As for the pricing of posts, the lowballing is getting more and more dramatic, because there are many more "influencers" now. The only brands really shelling out are large corporations with large budgets looking for something very specific. Smaller brands can just reach out to a bunch of influencers offering only product in exchange for a post, and someone will say yes.

I really hate this attack angle but its important to see because this is what serious local political candidates actually believe. If we would only build housing this would not be the case.

It can, but you can also find some that sell the accounts themselves, allowing you to falsify a network. Think taking accounts and re-purposing them from being a modern, pop-culture following network to one that is tech-oriented, or more obscure. If you're planning on inserting yourself in this method, you really need to be in control of it all yourself. Follow the major people in your industry, with added randomness to remove following some, while adding randomness to extend the network further.

Keeping the network healthy is one of the more interesting topics. Simulating a real network is the biggest thing. It's very easy to embed yourself, unless it is that closed of a network.
Thanks. Absolutely. And of course, I’m aware that I’m quite emotional about this right now. But I think the other way around like you describe is better because you’re forced to say goodbye, and can enjoy whatever extra time comes afterwards. I have the feeling that I’ve missed that opportunity (which is of course my fault, but still)
Thank you. I have already found a few interesting threads, mostly with contributions from geocar, who seems to be working in kos. However, I have the impression everything is kept quite secret around this, and I respect that.

My current interest in studying this code is more the journey than the result, but I am quite sure I will have to try to approach someone more familiar with the code at some point.
TL;DR: OP is using a single stripe account for several, distinct businesses. One had a dispute rate so high that the overall dispute rate of this single stripe account went above some threshold imposed by stripe's upstream financial services partners. Account gets closed. Stripe offers OP to just open a new account. OP spends more time to write a public complaint than it would take to set up a new account.

>I miss Usenet :-) Back in the day, any FAQ posted to Usenet was gold.

Got to agree (or most were, anyway). In an early company where I worked (large Unix hardware and software vendor), when I first got to know about FAQs and had Internet access in the office (initially via long-distance dialup to the head office), I must have spent tons of hours poring over many FAQs that I got by doing "ftp rtfm.mit.edu" and then going to the FAQs section, downloading and reading them.

I even bought a book about using the Internet (I think it was Internet for Dummies :), also bought Modems for Dummies, to learn how to use my dial-up modem at home with my PC) and from one of those books, found this great resource called "Accessing the Internet by Email". It had ways of doing searches and downloads (of Archie, Gopher, and FTP, IIRC) via email - there were proxy / gateway sites that let you do that - and getting the results in your email inbox. I must have used up a lot of bandwidth (of both kinds :) trying out most of those techniques and getting (and reading) many of those FAQs and other interesting tutorials, documents, etc. For multiple programming languages and other software topics, as well as other topics. It was huge.

Many of those FAQs are still available at www.faqs.org .

Also, just googled and found that the "Accessing ..." doc is still around. May still be useful to anyone who has limited Internet access or only email access, anywhere in the world:

Exactly. There are 1.5 billion monthly active users. So maybe it's just content creators, which is estimated at 50 million[1]. That may be a lifetime number, so let's assume 10%, or 5M in FY17. If this is what it means to be a "youtuber", than the 96.5% stat quoted in the article means 175,000 people are making more than $12,140 in ad revenue alone, or total payouts north of $2B.

That just seems crazy high. Maybe my sense of scale is off, but I suspect their definition of youtuber/influencer is some subset of that: people with a certain number of subs or something.

> I get the supply and demand laws but there comes a point where we have to decide of continuous and infinite growth at the cost of literally every other metric of importance to a city is worth burning it down for.

People keep saying this, and my response is: what is your solution? Rents aren't going up (solely) because of sinister plutocratic plots; it's because people want to move to New York. Big cities are where the jobs are, and Millenials hate suburbs, so that's where white-collar workers are going. Is your plan to forbid people from moving to New York so you can freeze time in the 70's?

People complaining about gentrification hem and haw when you ask them this forthright, and then try to dodge the question and pretend there's a simple solution involving rent control or millionaire taxes. But at some point you have to face facts and understand that, as long as the dynamics of the modern economy keeps favoring big cities, you can't stop gentrification without forbidding people from moving in.

You're saying that because Apple enables a feature that helps 911, they should cover he costs of 911 service.

What this implies is that everyone should do the bare minimum required by law, because if they do anything more they should expect to shoulder billions in infrastructure costs that would otherwise be correctly carried by the government.

> If richer areas see benefits from this and start to drop the amount they spend on something like a private, enterprise mobile 911 product, then other departments are going to follow suit, and suddenly you have less 911 support in poorer/more rural areas because that's where less people have iPhones, yet departments are still following national budgeting/spending trends.

You are arguing that lowered support costs will actually decrease support. This makes no sense.

So, the solution to not wanting to feel self conscious while saying decidedly simple and inoffensive words, and for task simple enough that people could probably be given a simple sentence or two instruction (choose a word that doesn't sound like another one) and could come up with valid examples (like you just did), is to force them to learn a semi-universal and generic set of mostly nonsense words and names?

I did tech support for years, and any time I had to have someone type out a specific set of characters, it was not hard to just rely on common names, animals, or other extremely common words. The amount of wasted man-years in teaching and testing a phonetic alphabet for such little benefit would be mind boggling. The military has very specific requirements which change the cost benefit analysis greatly (verbal communication during battle conditions, for one), but those don't really apply to most people. It's trivial to come up with something that works well on the fly.
This is exactly the kind of conspiracy sentiment I decried in my post.

Saddam Hussein had been playing a game of pretending that he had WMDs throughout most of the 1990s up to the Iraq War. The US intelligence community took those claims too much at face value, and when the UN inspectors went in to evaluate the evidence, they didn't say that Iraq had no WMDs, they said they couldn't find evidence of WMDs but the Iraqis were being too shifty to draw a firm conclusion. Unfortunately for Saddam, the Bush administration took this only reinforcing earlier beliefs that Iraq was fundamentally untrustworthy and hell-bent on WMDs, and was willing to go to war even without rock-solid evidence (unlike the EU, which saw the lack of evidence as a good reason to do nothing).

"Automatically reject 10% of applicants. We don't hire unlucky people."
You're joking, right?

> Receiving, owning and spending money anonymously. Remember when extortionists had to be paid with a suitcase full of banknotes?

As stated in other comments, Bitcoin is hardly anonymous anymore. There's a much greater ability to trace wallet addresses back to individuals or groups than there used to be.

> Receiving money without being exposed to the danger of fraud. Receiving money via Credit Card is surprisingly risky for the merchant.

Fraud was (and likely still is) rampant in the digital currency community when Bitcoin hit its peak. Plenty of it was going on in direct relation to the system and we've also seen the 51% attacks plus price manipulation.

Also, at least with credit there's legal recourse. It's at least something compared to nothing with digital currencies.

> Transferring money internationally without additional costs.

At Bitcoin's peak there was a significant cost to doing any transfers. This is now admittedly lower but to the average person I don't think this is a strong enough argument alone.

> Portfolio optimization. Crypto currencies are probably not perfectly correlated to other assets. So it stabilizes the portfolio to add some crypto.

This is where I start to think you're joking. The volatility of digital currencies doesn't stabilize any portfolio. At best it contributes to a diversified portfolio. At worst, you're correct, it doesn't really correlate to any asset. It is tied to nothing tangible.

You can argue that something is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it but that's such a terrible argument when the few businesses who tried accepting it are moving away from that, volatility again being one of the major issues. At a certain point there's nothing to be gained other than 'street cred' for having more of these coins attributed to an address that you claim to own.

Blockchain technology will stick around, digital currencies, at least those supposedly worth thousands, will not. I'm sure by now readers can tell I'm very against this. The people riding the digital currency hype train sound no different to me than those involved in pyramid and/or ponzi schemes.

The fact that Bitcoin is consuming so much electricity and takes so much computing power to confirm a transaction should be enough of an argument against it.

Also, what do you propose when quantum becomes mainstream? Every wallet in existing currencies will be cracked in mere seconds and investors will lose all of the coin they will have amassed. I'm sure someone will try to create a quantum digital currency but by then the opportunists that make up most of this market will hopefully realize how overhyped this was.

Do you have a citation for the “good enough” claim? In particular the listed peak performance appears to be below a modern phone's and, far more importantly, we'd need robust benchmark data to know that it's not following the Itanium cycle where a few very favorable, possibly hand-tuned, benchmarks manage to approach the theoretical maximum but most real-world code is substantially lower.

I'm old enough to remember that when Diablo came out, it seemed to be running too fast. This was before 3D video cards were mainstream (which happened with the Voodoo and Quake in 1997 maybe?).

I was working a lot with blitters at that point and running into speed issues on the Mac because Apple liked to release machines with half-width busses, which cut memory throughput by almost half. I'd be lucky to get 60 fps on a fullscreen 640x480 blit in 256 colors on a 68k Mac, but PCs seemed to do it trivially, and also do more with masking and color mapping at nearly the same speed.

Even PowerPC Macs ran between 2-10 times slower than their Pentium counterparts on tons of games. For example, Descent ran at 10 fps or whatever and was barely playable on a PPC 601, but ran great on a 100 MHz Pentium. Even Duke Nukem 3D ran full speed on a 100 MHz 486dx4. That could not have all simply been due to a lack of optimization on the Mac side.

This is all from memory so take it with a grain of salt. But I'm mildly curious what kind of approaches went into their blitting, and if they used things like palette animation (which wasn't available on the Mac because Apple put a blocking call on the palette change, which synced it to the refresh rate, although I never tried it from another thread because I don't think it was thread-safe).
Yup. I used that 2-3 years ago to play it on my old Windows 98 system.
