My email server passed, but the test mentioned, it could be better by adding it to the EFF's STARTTLS policy list [1].

The only problem being that that list is currently practically empty.

So while I was considering adding that email server which I maintain, when I saw the items on the list it makes me reconsider.

The only email servers currently on the list are : google, yandex, yahoo, icloud, outlook, comcast, eff, qq and facebook.

So while it might be an opportunity to get your server on the list early, personally I worry more about what it will break as to what it will help.

In conclusion, it looks like a great initiative, but it will have to be in production for a while before I would recommend anybody to add their server to that list.

Alcohol was banned in the US that turned out to be such a bad idea we changed the constitution.

Drugs are an old thing the Opium Wars started in 1839 and alcohol significantly predates writing.

Found a bug with Chrome 67.0.3396.87 on Mac OS 10.11.6: When you hover over a menu item (e.g. "Markets"), the sub-menu updates based on the sub-items for the "Markets" item. However, when moving the cursor right (towards the sub-menu), the sub-menu state reverts back to the last activated menu item. Only clicking a menu item makes the respective sub-menu "stick". This is not the case for the actual bloomberg menu.

Don't know whether this is a limitation of the html+css approach?
Not GP, but some critics say that it's unclear if Amazon makes money on free shipping or if it's a loss-leader that Amazon can afford due to its valuation.

For the government, some are saying that the USPS isn't charging enough. And the USPS makes a loss. But other say otherwise : https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/04/technology/amazon-postal-...
Same situation where I live. At least a dozen times I've contacted Amazon with a link to video of a delivery person lobbing a package over my 6' fence gate (which is so easy to operate, we have to chase young children out daily that enter to pet the outdoor cat that chills on our patio). Cameras help immensely with this kind of thing. The last time I had a problem was well over six months ago. And Amazon has extended my Prime membership for free my as many months as times I've had flying, over-fence deliveries.

The price of gasoline in the UK is currently over $6 per US gallon; A few years ago, it exceeded $9 per gallon. Most of that price is tax. The American way of life might be significantly affected by a recapture tax, but it wouldn't make a huge amount of difference in most of Europe.

GDPR affects any organisation (not just businesses) that collects and processes the personal data of people who reside in the EU. So yes, the same rules would apply here, assuming the business deals with EU residents.
> Why is it always timeshares?

They're as expensive as a car, but sold (a) remotely (so the customer has no opportunity to inspect before buying) and (b) within a vacation mindset (which makes people less diligent about diligence). TL; DR Used car salesmen with fewer checks on their behaviour.
The exchange email -> ebook in itself isn't problematic with regards to the GDPR, phrasing it not as an exchange but a free gift is.

edit: You may of course not like my comment, but it is factually correct: GDPR really doesn't forbid combining the newsletter entry with a bait like a free ebook, as long as you don't phrase the newsletter membership as "free" and use double opt-in.
I’m pretty sure you’re actually defending such predatory scammers here.

That is quite possible. I presumed the 'open plan sales room' was exactly to play on 'follow the herd' mentality. These guys were slick enough that they very well may have filled half or more of the room with plants to further fuel 'herd' mentality.
Under other names, absolutely. X10 home automation devices actually started showing up at Radio Shack in 1978. Now there's newer protocols, Insteon, Z-Wave, and ZigBee, and obviously, the capabilities of the hardware and the ease in which consumers can set them up has improved. But this isn't really new at all.

You might also think about a proprietary form of IoT devices that have been around a long time: Security systems are more or less proprietary IoT networks, and have very much merged with the home automation scene. You can see ADT, Comcast, etc. all selling proprietary connected home solutions now, but most of the underlying hardware is pretty much the same.

I read somewhere that Wesnoth was in parts inspired by sega genesis game Warsong, but i see that not in one important part trough, or players would not feel so unlucky and get into situations where they want to abuse save/load mechanics to get a better luck.
In Wesnoth each unit accumulates experience and they get more and more valuable and irreplaceable later in the game campaigns.
In Warsong commander units each have up to 8 hired units under their command and get experience from hired units fights, while hired units do not accumulate experience at all, being cannon fodder. Before players would lose valuable commander to luck they would lose 8 unvaluable troops in a row at which point it is impossible to blame luck. Players always feel in control of the battle even through fight outcomes are very random.
Once again, you can say it's not the case all you want.

You control the entire story here. We only have the information you have provided in this post and only your post history to judge your character.

But I prefer to separate the facts of the matter from the opinions. You said the style complaints were arbitrary. Style is arbitrary. Arguing for "mature reasoning" or "proper practice" is subjective. As long as there isn't anything really out there, most styles are fairly reasonable.

But they let you go anyway afterwards. You're so convinced of your necessity, but ignore the very real fact that they existed before you were hired and continue to exist after you get fired.

I didn't want to make the assumption that that $30k was effectively your only money. But still, they would have offered you a severance 4 months ago had they planned on letting you go as well. What else changed in those 4 months?

Do you find it odd that for some reason you cannot fit in any job you take? I find it hard to believe that all 8 companies you've worked for have been that bad.

It might serve you to consider that we are hardly the best judge of our own character. We have a great ability to rationalize everything we do and no one thinks they are the villain. Remove your ego from your story and actually look at it objectively. Ignore how you felt, see what you've done. Would you hire that guy?
Moment.js ported to Go
"Regrettably" and "regrettable" is a single sentence, "comments" instead of "commenter", missing "to" after "ought", lowercase "internet"; all that in a single paragraph. Error density in gumby's English is astounding.
Traefik isn't worth the trouble. We used it in production over the course of 2 years, and it was consistently our only source of downtime due to rediculous bugs: not closing file descriptors, breaking changes, and silent failures with no log output, panic or exit even with debug logs enabled.

As you mentioned, the docs are terrible. What makes that worse are the undocumented breaking changes between each release. They don't even pretend to follow semver, so v1.5 broke v1.4, and v1.6 broke v1.5. Each update you pray that it doesn't take your whole setup down. If anything goes wrong, since nothing is documented and there's often no logs explaining what went wrong, you might be down for an extended period while you make 100 best-guess changes to the config that worked in staging, but for whatever reason isn't working in production. May the odds be ever in your favor.

Last I checked, Traefik was 988,000 (!!!) lines of code. That's 20x the size of my very complex web application. I replaced it with 500 lines of go providing all the essential features for me. Higher reliability, way fewer bugs, no breaking changes.
It's more of a poor (dare I say "trailer trash") southern thing in my experience.
It's not broken, but it is misnamed.

This is because it is not intended to work with the same kind of string that the other str* functions work with (ie. an ordinary null terminated string).

Instead it's supposed to work with fixed-width string fields that pad out values shorter than the field width with nulls. This is how original UNIX directory entries were stored.

Most important quote:

> We’ll continue to support rigorous scientific research on the potential medical uses of marijuana-derived products and work with product developers who are interested in bringing patients safe and effective, high-quality products. But, at the same time, we are prepared to take action when we see the illegal marketing of CBD-containing products with serious, unproven medical claims. Marketing unapproved products, with uncertain dosages and formulations, can keep patients from accessing appropriate, recognized therapies to treat serious and even fatal diseases.

I can't believe the number of ridiculous statements I've seen and heard about medical marijuana. It's our modern-day equivalent of the witch doctor.

Looks like the FDA is finally going to allow legitimate research and medicine. [Edit] This will reign in all the unproven claims that marijuana is essentially a cure-all.

[Edit] I support complete legalization of marijuana for recreational use.

Have to smile, reading this. It reminds me of the time I received a very scammy call telling me I'd won a week's holiday in Florida (US accented person; I am not in the US). Now in my world view, if first prize is a week in Florida, second prize would be two weeks in Florida. Losers get to spend the rest of eternity at Maralago (sp?). But all that's a horse of a different colour...

I asked the caller to hold a moment...

Went out into my veggie garden and spent almost an hour doing some digging and weeding and generally having a grand ol' time in the sunshine. It raised quite a laugh when I returned around sunset and the caller was still holding, waiting for me to return. Quite unbelievable! Led me to wonder how these people are incentivised.

I put the phone down without waiting to find out anything more about their scam/offer/whatever.

Lying about your work status is the worst thing to do. You want to be completely upfront about it, otherwise you just end up wasting both your time and the company's.

In my experience it is very rare for a company to change their mind about "visa sponsorship" after meeting a candidate. Either it's something the company can do and they will advertise it as such (to have access to the biggest possible pool of candidates), or they don't want to go through the hassle and even amazing candidates won't change their mind.

Applying remotely to jobs and requiring visa sponsorship is very complicated. You're competing with locals and candidates who may need a visa or work permit but are already on site for interviews. You are basically last in the line.

I'm surprised you didn't take advantage of your WOs to build a network or apply for permanent positions. I think your best bet is to pick one country, move there, even as a tourist and start looking for something while you're on site.
Well it is in that the trade deficit lowers the value of our currency. The problem is that China has been manipulating the currency value to be lower than it actually is. Which means they can sell a product for less than American companies with the same costs.

A few years ago my wife got a call about a free cruise but the catch was sitting through the timeshare sales pitch. We had no intention of buying in, especially since we couldn't afford it at the time, but we wanted the free cruise (well my wife did, I didn't want to go). Well we sat through the horrible sales pitch and then they put us in a room to get the cruise. We sat in the room for maybe 25 minutes before we gave up. Nobody came in to help us in that time. The reason we left wasn't because of the wait, I was determined to get that free cruise despite not wanting to be there. The reason was the restrictions behind the cruise. There were tons of blackout dates and you couldn't pick the exact date of travel. You picked 3 dates and they would let you know which one. I also believe there was a very short window of when they would notify you that you had the tickets to the cruise. I was starting my career at the time so I didn't have the flexibility of just taking a week off at the last minute.

I agree with you for now. However, these things are going to advance and improve. I think the biggest Orwellian issue is the targeting of dissonance. The government can't watch everyone and process the data but they can target those who disagree with policy X or politician Y or company Z.
Thanks. I'll check it out. I'm quite immune to the tactics myself due to watching my father fall for way too many of them growing up. As a result of seeing that at an early age I've become quite immune to the tactics. But I could easily see how the less immune could readily be drawn in to something they likely could not afford.

Yes, we do. Covering the ground with solar panels means that land can't be used for other things, such as farming, or natural habitat.

I suppose if you want to just cover totally barren places like the Sahara with solar panels that would be OK, but there's political and engineering problems with that (transmitting power long-distance incurs losses, and getting power across the Mediterranean wouldn't be easy).
Apparently for all the economic-related punditry, HN still doesn't understand economics.

The biggest problem here is information asymmetry. The market for these time share schemes is very inefficient because the sales people have more information on both the value and cost than the customers. This is why people commenting here who have out of band information about this were unpersuaded despite finding the pitch emotionally compelling / exhausting. Regulations to require earlier and less subtle cost disclosure would help. But this is right in the zone where it's difficult to take political action: most people don't care very much about this so you can't win an election or build a career on fighting this, and the sales companies care a lot, so they'll organize a dedicated opposition to you if you try.
