Good Lord, you're right. This sort of marketing could work, if Americans were more vigilant about punishing bad actors.

If someone in Germany tried an American-style scam, the sheer tangibility of the vision I have of angry Germans not effing stopping until the perps are put in jail is palpable.

Sadly, this seems to be a national attitude and those just don't seem to be transmissable.

Now I'm wondering whether Germany is the exception or the rule. I darn sure wouldn't want to trust anyone, say, in Russia. Not sure about Latin America though. Argentina might seem safe, but Mexico? Africa, mostly probably not.
Just wanted to add we also use Zulip.

Before Zulip we used XMPP for a long time but found clients to be a bit lacking. We moved to Mattermost for a brief period until we stumbled on Zulip and thought; Dang, they got the threading thing right... So we switched to Zulip and it has been great for us.

The organisation uses Kanboard for all kinds of projects. IT development uses Phabricator. As a gapps / exchange replacement we use Open-Xchange. Actually we have been using that since it was open sourced almost 13 years ago.
Yeah! That's true. Recently Ahmedabad city also bans Plastic like Mumbai. But, in last few years, I have heard this same news three times.
Perhaps not useless but highly misleading without context. How many customers? How many employees? Any profit? All these would help.
I have been thinking a lot about the plastic problem. Isn't plastic a great way to store carbon in solid form for a long time and prevent it coming back into the atmosphere?

I mean, doesn't plastic work the same way the wooden furniture works? Storing carbon away and preventing global warming?

If this is the case, perhaps we should look into ways to store plastic in more environment friendly ways instead to trying to prevent its production and use. All the alternatives that quickly degrade seem to allow the carbon to quickly get back into air and increase the global warming effect.
People like cocaine too; enjoyment of something isn't grounds to keep it legal. Smoking (and alcohol) just can't be made illegal now; the US tried that for a couple of years, and all it managed to do was give rise to organized crime and illegal (and dangerous) manufacture of alcohol.

In my country, smoking and alcohol are more passively discouraged; high taxes, a ban on advertising, strict age checks, and (for smoking, lately) shocking imagery, removal of brands, removal of any kind of interesting packaging, and (most recently) a ban on displaying it.

I mean I'd still be in favor of outright banning it already, because all of these measures are just idk, weird, but at the same time criminalising it would cause more problems than the current measures.

Ask HN: Rust vs. Julia
Hypothetical: I have a professional contract to fulfill where I'm given freedom to choose what programming language I use to build a library that will be used in an application. The library will require a large number of matrix operations and will require taking advantage of parallelization wherever possible. I plan to focus on building the GUI at a later stage, once the core library has been completed. This software will be used by consumers heavily in 2020. Given only this information, what language would you choose to tackle this problem? Julia or Rust?

It doesn't really matter who pays for what in the upstream. What matters is the final price to the consumer. So if milk producer A switches to glass bottles and can sell milk at a lower final price to the consumer, they will be at a competitive advantage to milk producer B who uses plastic bottles and then has a higher final price to the consumer.

That's assuming that the extra costs of glass bottles are still lower than the tax on the plastic ones.
That’s how it was when I was kid (in the US). Obviously not twitter selfies, but the equivalent at the time.
Philosophically they aren't concerned with truth. They are concerned with the ultimate truth which can't be reached through theorizing. They have no problem with conventional western based truth it's just not the bedrock.

Or put another way. Buddhist would say you can't know the truth but you can be it.
We shifted from Slack to Hangouts Chat about 3 months ago.

It has generally gone down pretty well. It has nice features like the way it makes posts in Rooms their own 'threads', and allows the user to enable or disable notifications per 'thread'. Also, as you say, the cost for Chat was included with our G-Suite license.

However, as a SysAdmin it doesn't have the same level of administrator controls that you see in more mature products, such as Slack (and even Discord). In my opinion it is still very much in beta and Google need to keep adding to the admin and end-user features before it really competes with Slack.
Seems like a good solution. I was looking for this on the official HIBP website, but it's not mentioned there.

Going public with this would probably be a good time to update the website.

> going a day with almost no food is not harder than doing a constant deficit every day

A high fat diet will do a lot to make a caloric deficit a matter of habit, and not iron-strong will :)

Intermittent Fasting and low-carb high-fat food can readily sustain 16-20 hour fasts without the hunger or cravings. It's also really satiating when you do start eating.
> If a lot of people get into money problems it'll affect everyone

This is called "negative externality". Another example is junk food. It does affect everyone when people are unhealthy (health care costs for instance).

> It is so strange that this is allowed.

I think the US have ruled that advertisement is protected by freedom of speech. Actually some people get extremely defensive when talking about restricting advertisement (nanny state argument...).

You've confused the submission port (which is usually TLS encrypted on 587) with SMTP relay (done via port 25 with optional STARTTLS)

It's OK, lots of people don't know about this. Really the only problem is that you've assumed since you know nothing about this you're an expert, that'd be Dunning-Kruger or a related effect at work.

For submission it really can work to upgrade end user mail agent software. We're a long way from useful encryption capable agents being ubiquitous, but we've made progress and most popular systems today ship with such a client. These systems also use TLS directly for IMAP (to receive email) and can share a lot of logic across the two systems, so that's nice. In maybe a decade we'll be where HTTPS is today. For submission.

What distinguishes a submission port is that it's authenticated. You can only send email via the submission server as Alice if you prove to the submission server that you're Alice.

But SMTPS (obsolete SMTP over TLS on port 465) and the STARTTLS SMTP (on port 25) are for email relay. Authentication makes no sense in this scenario because the relays are neither sender nor recipient, the transmitting relay can't prove that it's Alice, and the receiving relay can't prove that it is Bob, because they're not, they are merely relays.

These are servers, so they upgrade much more slowly (often only on hardware replacement) and the priority is reliability of delivery, not security, if your proposed solution drops 1% of email on the floor that's far too much and nobody would adopt it.

Hence the situation we have today, and hence STARTTLS Everywhere. Your imagined alternate universe makes no sense except because you've misunderstood how email works.

Roping the unsuspecting into an incredibly expensive time-share using hard-sell boiler-room tactics without ever being up-front about the true costs.

I sat through one of these once, curious about how it was going to go, and with the intent going in of not ever buying anything anyway. They present the timeshare as if it costs only pennies a day, and never admit to the true cost unless pressed very hard (and even then they never quote a final figure). What they are really selling is a loan package for the purchase of the timeshare (where the timeshare company is themselves loan originator) with an attached interest rate of something like 12 or 13% APR (bank mortgages at the time I sat through the one I sat through were running about 3.5-4% APR). The timeshare, if you can squeeze a dollar figure out of them comes out to be about $40,000 for which they finance it for you at their 12-13% APR (so a gold mine for them, but bad for you).

I ended up getting the double-team effort (two trying to convince me to jump in) to try to sell me on the value of the scam before I had finally had enough and cut off the sales pitch. Meanwhile, all around me (they did the pitch in a large room with small tables where everyone was in view of everyone else) I was watching the gullible filling out their "loan applications" and setting themselves up for $500/month for the next ten to twenty years before they could pay off the 'loan'.

The cost, plus the interest, was setup such that one would be hard put to actually be able to go on enough vacations at the timeshare to actually make the timeshare profitable for the new owner. If one went on the number of vacations that are typical, one was setting oneself up for each vacation ultimately costing $25K+ (for what should have cost only about $2-3K). This, of course, was the intent of the group running the timeshare, hide the true cost enough that the gullible don't realize they are paying $25K for what should have cost them $3K, and pocket the difference as pure profit.
It would also be cool to implement native email reader inside firefox and some kind of messenger.

I don't think so because suicide is or may be contagious. "...numerous social science studies indicate that one of the best predictors of committing suicide is knowing suicide."

When I was suicidal, I wondered if my suicide could influence someone else I love to bite the bullet when they had a moment of weakness, and whether if I could live with that. I considered metaphorically putting a gun to my head was the same as putting a gun to another's psychologically. Honestly because I have had two suicide attempts... Even though I didn't succeed, I know I hurt the people I love very much.

I feel that every loss and death is like a tiny bomb in a social network, it stresses families and communities, and can even severely damage people.

Amazon employees too many people to effectively hire based on a strategy of exploiting only the "desperate, vulnerable and fearful," unless that set includes literally anyone in the minimum wage bracket. And if they were as strict as you describe ("Need to go to the toilet? That's one demerit. Call in sick? One demerit. Be off sick without calling in? Three demerits. When you get to six you're fired.") most employees would be fired within a month.

Don't get me wrong - it's tedious, exploitative, exhausting work and I don't doubt any of the horror stories are true, but Amazon is also just a business like any other, and most of those stories are exceptions, not the rule. Amazon aren't drug dealers or vampires, they'll hire anyone who applies and passes a drug screen, and they'll work everyone as hard as they legally can. They're not as evil as you describe for the simple reason that being as evil as you describe would be bad business.

Most of what sucks about working in an Amazon warehouse is normal for a lot of low wage and blue collar work in the US. Just look into what long haul truckers have to do to make ends meet sometimes.

This is the advice given by banks and anti-fraud agencies. NB in some countries landlines can remain on a call for several minutes after the call receiver has hung up.

Good solution if local, most of the winners were all over the US.

Lots of people just didn't believe it and thought it to be a scam or maybe denied it due to the taxes, or maybe they were trying to stay on the down low due to collections or something who knows. For whatever reason, they didn't want the prize or didn't believe it.

Since it wasn't a cash prize in most cases, people would have to pay some taxes on it so maybe they didn't think it was worth it. Cash prizes are always easier as the person can just pay the taxes out of the prize, a product like a motorcycle or something fairly big, they would have to sell to pay taxes maybe.

I'm going to edit my original question in light of this comment.
Similar experience here, my university helped people form study groups near final exams and had a "homework club", where final year and grad students were paid to help first and second year students with their assignments for a couple hours a week, and people were encouraged to meet each other in that club and find "study buddies" (but no-one actually called it that, because ugh)

Covered everything from the programming to the multivariable calculus and data science (much harder to find students confident enough to teach others for those last two though)

That 4MiB per application assertion is not true of OS/2. 4MiB was minimal physical RAM requirements for 32-bit OS/2, which I myself ran on a 4MiB machine for a while, but it did not scale up from that by number of applications run, let alone by number of 16-bit applications.
I'm fairly sure that arsenic is known to be harmful.
I know some people who automated those but basically fed them fake generated data, and managed to make quite a bit before they got banned. Probably not legal, but AFAIK the responses to those surveys aren't legally binding either, and the more "poisoned the well", the less profiling and tracking they can do, so I don't have any moral problems with that.
As far as I know, the carbon in plastic mostly comes from crude oil, which is already "stored away" deep in the earth. If you found a 100% effective and safe way to store all plastic after it's use you'd simply be carbon neutral (minus production costs), you wouldn't be capturing carbon from the atmosphere.
They promise that they will develop a blockchain that scales well through sharding. Meaning it has many more transactions per second than say the 8 of bitcoin. That at least is their product.

As far as I can tell they only have a test network, so I don't know if it works at all. But that's their principle. A blockchain that scales better.
I seem to recall that someone worked out that even for somebody who never aged, the cumulative risk of suffering a fatal accident of some kind meant that life expectancy would actually only be about 400 years or so. Unlikely events become more likely over the centuries :)

I would always suggest use whatever language you're the most comfortable working with first if possible.

Personally if it were up to me I'd pick D (I'm just comfortable with D) if parallelism is a concern it covers that spot. However, for the sake of answering your question I'm more inclined towards Rust.

Rust has a growing community around it, has been tried and tested not only in the back-end but I write this response on a browser deployed to millions of users who are unknowingly running Rust across different operating systems, from Mac, to Windows, all the way to Linux. Rust has a strong package manager and they're investing in their core tooling which I think is a must for any programming language (and documentation).

Julia is also fascinating and I can admire Julia but I have not heard of deployments like Rust has achieved, and I would love to hear more about Julia out in the wild.

> a part of my brain that, usually around 1030 at night, says, right eat everything in the immediate vicinity

Late night snacking has always been my personal achilles heel...

A high-fat diet -- say, steak tacos with avocado sauce in cheese-tortillas -- can do a lot to mitigate snackiness. So instead of a late night chocolate bar, maybe try eating half a pack of bacon and see how you feel... Or an extra half-pack of bacon with your last meal so your appetite calls it quits for a few hours extra...

Within the same caloric footprint, and the hard suffering of eating bacon, I think it's possible to radically reshape your appetite towards more satiating foods that don't leave you snacky. And if you're like me, cutting out the snacking is most of the caloric control you need.

Cons: have to cut carbs so you don't balloon, natural progression towards keto. Pros: less snacky; red wine, whiskey, and bacon as part of a 'weight loss' regimen.

Reading your comment, I wondered how can you define bounded sets in a topological vector space (where you don't have a norm). The definition is cute: a set X if bounded if any neighborhood of 0 can be inflated to include the whole of X.
