SMTP requires sending servers to retry for at least 4 days, so 98.9% uptime over a year is guaranteed to be sufficient so as to not lose any mail ... so that is "several" as in "one", I suppose?

Of course you can have a lot more downtime than that, even just 20% uptime would be sufficient if timed right to ensure that no mail gets lost.

Or in other words: My central heating system has higher availability requirements than my mailserver, so I guess everyone in non-tropical places has a non-trivial endeavour going?
"The brand getting the most buzz in the car industry is Tesla. `What’s different about them? No advertising. Innovation in the car industry is not about putting Cindy Crawford in a TV ad. It’s about building a better battery.`"

Advertising has changed. It's no longer on a billboard in your face, but now a virus and fabric of influence in your mind that permeates and multiplies subtly through every medium you consume. Each piece of information collectively assembles inside your brain to fashion and form an opinion. The new science of advertising is figuring out how to put these pieces of the puzzle together so that you organically assemble an opinion on matters favorable to product sellers.

> I am my own provider. It's really not that hard to configure a mail server.

Oh yes it is. I mean for professional sysadmins it may not be, but try talking any normal person through buying a domain, getting an SSL certificate, attaching that at your MTA, configuring all those fiddly DNS records that prove you're emails are who you say you are. And all of that isn't even taking into account how needlessly painful the actual process of just installing the MTA is.

And what do you have for show from all of that? Still no real assurance that half your mail won't end up in spam, no web front end (that step alone adds several additional layers of complexity), less guarantees regarding up time (since you no have a single server that you need to manage yourself), arguably worse security (since you're now asking a layman to harden a Linux box) and the whole thing comes with a heftier price tag than Gsuite.

We're not talking about self hosting an IRC server or other service you can throw up in an hour and then forget about. Email is a frustrating sequence of a multitude of steps where even just one of them could render your set up worthless. Hence why even many of us sysadmins have long since given up self hosting email servers. It's just not worth the effort

> The easiest way is just having the sudo ability to temporarily open port 80 for the challenge/response process.

The easiest way is to forget about HTTP and use DNS verification. Just create a dynamically updateable TXT record in your zone that the LE client can update and then point CNAMEs for the names that you want to create certificates for to that TXT record.
I've noticed this in Germany as well. Most people over the age of 40-50 have quite poor English skills, at least outside of the largest cities. Even young people in their 20s are markedly worse at English compared to young people in Denmark or Sweden, where dubbing is only used for cartoons and movies aimed at kids.

Maybe dubbing is the reason, or maybe it's simply due to living in a country of ~85 million people with one language. When you have so much content and research in your native language, you can get quite far without having to learn any foreign languages.

> does anyone see a market for a $700 license plate with a yearly subscription model, which also requires you to carry a backup non-digital license plate?

No, but I could see one subsidized or mandated by governments (e.g. if it makes tracking vehicles much easier due to GPS / RFID / Cell Antenna)
Is it me or does this article contradict itself throughout the piece? It tries so hard to sell it’s headline, but every point and interview it does paints a completely different picture.

You want to sell a da Vinci? Well then you have to make private meetings with potential clients, and, you have to create ads that sell it as iconic.

You want to make people buy your brand of beer? Well you have to sell the story of it being generally accepted as a high quality brand.

You want to sell luxury? You have to sell timelessness and trust.

Aren’t those things exactly what Don Draper would have done?

In general the article skimps over how ads are actually made, and talks mainly in how they are delivered, but that has very little to do with the death of Don Draper. Because even if you’re not always shooting ads at everyone, you still have to tell stories that set you a part from everyone else.

It’s only valid point in the subject seem to be that advertisers are no longer in the front of business magazines. Ironically, neither are car manufacturers, except for one, Musk. Who coincidentally put one of his cars in space in a very spectacular PR event that I personally doubt he decided upon because an algorithm told him it would be popular.
This isn't true anymore at all. See my comments above if interested.
I think it’s more a sign of insecurity. Insecure people want to signal some status, so they feel the need to talk loudly and make a show of themselves.
That sounds very interesting. Do you have some example code that you can share?
I cannot think of a a good example right now, but as a native German speaker, I do sometimes find myself wondering how to express a certain thought in German.

English grammar feels more flexible to me than German, and English seems to be more suited for colorful idioms.
Learning to build a data lake

You don't think the kind of reply he gave is pretty combative for the interviewing for a job at said company?

You recommend that as a path forward for people who interview at your company or at Google in the future?

Not true. This might be happening if you are trying to host a server on your domestic internet connection, those IP ranges are usually banned in spam filters. But you can easily host your e-mail server on a real datacenter server or something similar, and you'll have almost no problems with spam filtering. (In fact many companies and even individuals already do this and have done this for long time.)

I think this is somewhat related to how Google lost to Facebook in the social space. Google already had Orkut with them. Similarly the idea of Google drive was floated around in Google as early as 2008. But it took the Advent of Dropbox for Google to realise what they had missed.

Same goes for the public cloud. Although Google had the app engine, they did not aggressively invest in it. Azure clearly over took Google in cloud space.

I am sure there would be many such examples from all the Tech Giants.
A glut of goods perceived to be lower quality in the market will increase the desirability of the more "exclusive" higher-quality options (in this case, the .coms).

Like where I'm in India, Nike is substantially more expensive precisely because there are too many crappy shoes in the market. Nike is more "exclusive" and thus, pricier (and vice versa).

Another reason is the low education among ordinary users about the new TLDs. Everyone automatically defaults to assuming that your site is on .com

Companies stand to lose a lot of type-in traffic because of this. Which is why as soon as a business becomes large enough, it tries to go for its .com version. But since the .com version is already taken, and the owner knows the growing company wants it, he can dictate a higher price

We already have our bug tracker for the engineers so why do twice the work? Most engineers don't care once the product is 'out' they only care what they're working on.

So we create our change log (they are part of our 'release notes' actually) with only the user in mind but we reference the bug tracker number next to it.

This is what we check in to the 'source' for the release notes.

Then when we post to the 'outside world' we just remove those tracker numbers (takes a few seconds).

That way the engineer can see the 'easy to understand conceptually' bug fix/enhancement and if they want to know more then they can see the Tracker reference and go and look up the 'real meat - with all the discussion and threads etc.

For those bug fixes that we 'don't' document we have our source code software.
Isn't trademarks used to uniquely identify products as originating from as specific vendor.

Hence, society prevents others from using your trademark inorder to protect customers from buying a counterfeit product while believing they're buying a legitimate product.

IMO, of the product is clearly labelled as something other than "KitKat", then customers are protected, no futher trademarks are needed.

As KitKats are usually traded in a labelled wrapping, I don't see the big issue. I doubts shops will start selling unwrapped KitKats, inorder to mix in counterfeit products.
In Germany they pay teachers way more than that and some high schools teach Latin.
I think the round about point is that since no one is tuning into the mass media which might build the collective mass culture (or that mass media is changing to target advertising that directly targets individual dreams and desires), that there is a problem in manufacturing mass culture... because culture has become balkanized. So basically you have a problem with individualism taken to its logical conclusion after the century of self, to a century of personalized amplified self which causes society to break down say in 50-100 years. It's an interesting idea, what are the things which bind us together culturally when we really don't have culture, we have commercial culture... we have cambell's soup ads.

You actually make a really interesting point here. Advertising has permeated nearly every segment of media consumption. An interesting example is articles like this, and “reviews” of products that are actually paid adverts where the “reviewers” get kickbacks for every referral that leads to a sale. [1]

> If we can't trust Trustico (we can't), but they're able to issue Comodo certs, we really can't trust Comodo either.

I can't fault this logic, which is why I'm happy to tell you that this isn't how resellers work and hasn't been for many years. They can't "issue Comodo certs", they're just a middleman taking a cut.

A reseller isn't trusted by the CA at all in Web PKI terms. They handle some customer service stuff and (like an airline discounter) they allow the headline prices to stay high so that the "real" prices seem cheaper.

You don't need to trust Trustico at all, as a Relying Party you're depending on Comodo to do their job, independent of Trustico. If you are a Trustico customer, you needn't trust them beyond the fact that you'll be sending them money, and of course any outfit might take the money and run. If you're very naive and you allow Trustico to have your private key (an arrangement Comodo told them to stop when it signed them up as a reseller) then they have your private key. So, never do that, not with Trustico, not with Comodo, not with anybody. The entire point of a private key is that it's private, we can't make it any clearer than that.
The i2/i3 series devices are the reason I became an AWS partisan. Azure still has nothing comparable and while GCP seems to have caught up with an NVMe offering, they seem to be in indefinite catch up mode.
While I agree with the general/intended sentiment of "Advertising is has changed from a bunch of slick white guys in suits, to tech", it might be worth pointing out that Don Draper doesn't _exactly_ have anything to do with what the author is discussing. The author implies that ad tech is ruining _traditional_ advertising, which is true on the Sales side, but have you seen some of the high PPC/CPM ads on some Youtube videos? They still _heavily_ rely on great creative. And let's not forget that Don Draper was the Creative Director - not head of Sales (which would've been Pete I believe).

>The brand getting the most buzz in the car industry is Tesla

Nope, It’s nowhere near that. The fact that tech media writes a lot about a car manufacturer doesn’t make it the most popular manufacturer in the world and brief google trends research shows that.
I'm never happy about trademarking a single, generic thing like that. If someone comes along with the same shape, calls it a Pit-Pat Bar and contains kinda similar ingredients, sure. But I think that if you're going to trademark something narrowly defined, a specific shape or color, then either it needs to be so unique and pointless that no one would ever copy that thing on their own, or it should be coupled with other unique things that clearly identify a single specific brand.

This topic comes up a lot, though. It seems to be that most people in our little bubble think that intellectual property law is too vague, expansive, arbitrary, and violates common sense. At least the supreme court dealt a little bit of a blow to patent trolls, but the whole system needs to be reformed.

That has a distinct advantage, though - I practically learned English by osmosis. I had to look up words very often in the beginning, but it felt so effortless and natural.

We need license plates, else people can't identify cars in the case of incidents.

It‘s interesting to see how negative the comments are here, compared to the civil disobedience of SciHub — in fact it‘s much of the same thing.

And while there is an argument to be made about how developing new medicine costs real money, the re-investment of profits into research is around 10%, we‘re talking about a deeply corrupt industry here. And while it‘s definitely still morally questionable to clone new drugs, the case is much more clear cut for substances like epinepherine or insulin, for which the patents have long expired. If pharma corporations keep these meds at insane prices with dirty tricks like biosimilars or application patents (the equivalent of „doing X on a computer“ software patents), that‘s at least as immoral. I for one welcome these hackers for some fresh air in the market.

Google did a great job of putting the user first. You never felt like you were being sold something, a refreshing change from the MSN 'homepage' at the time.

You also did not feel that you were being given something for free that had a catch to it - see HN story today about prisons getting 'free' tablets.

Make no mistake, Microsoft can do free very nicely too - Internet Explorer in the Netscape days was partly ascendant for doing 'free' very well at a time when Netscape was emerging from 'shareware'. But with Microsoft 'free' you always felt that you were a pawn in their plans for global domination, to blot out the rivals.

I think that Google came along with a great series of products and services that put the user first with an ethos that Microsoft, Apple and others just did not 'get'. Although Chrome was marketed with billboards and a link in the search results, the real work on adoption was done by the users recommending the superior, user centric product to their workmates, friends and family.

Yes, with mixed results.

> no license plates.

In California, at least, your license fees fund the highway patrol and their various enforcement activities. The cost is certainly not centered around the plate, which is made with prison labor anyways.
Counterpoint 1: I wrote my rant as a separate reply but the summary is that after twenty years of running my own e-mail and doing everything "right," I still got regularly binned by Google and Microsoft and (rarely) Yahoo, so I gave it up and switched to Fastmail. My experience, according to chats with others in my field, is not unique. I'd actually go so far to say that yours, with reliable delivery to Gmail with a small server, is the outlier.

Honest question: Where do people get this idea that they state so confidently, that it's "impossible" to run one's own mail server? Have they actually tried or are they just repeating what they've heard?

Counter-anecdote: I have run my own mail server for several years. I use it for all my email communication, and also send out daily emails to a couple of thousand subscribers[1] who are on all sorts of email providers. The "canary accounts" I have set up on all the big providers all seem to have their subscription messages delivered straight to the inbox just fine, though I should probably monitor this better somehow.

Wow, where does that money go to?

I thought ICANN was a non-profit? Is it the usual "yeah but we really needed $5000 meeting room chairs and our CEO needs a competitive $10m salary otherwise we can't keep him on"?
I don't understand this. Eg in the Sony case, why wouldn't they just hold on to it? They did the hard work, they paid up, keeping it on is not a bigger burden than keeping a registered trademark globally, I'd assume? Does anybody understand?
Why not adopt the UK system where the plate belongs to the car and never changes?
