So if they route everything through the same set of EC2 instances, that might actually take care of the SPAM issue. I run my own e-mail server and have run into that same issue of not being able to send to gmail/microsoft addresses (unless I contact the person via Facebook/Twitter/Reddit/etc. and tell them to check their spam folder):

https://penguindreams.org/blog/how-google-and-microsoft-made...

The way most of these providers deal with spam is they slowly white-list IP addresses. When a company like Mailchip or Mailgun spin up a new server, it's always in a large subnet range they've purchased and they slowly start sending low priority e-mail through it to existing/known receivers and throttle it up to full speed.

If you're running a personal server that sends like 5 or 6 e-mails a days, well that's an issue.

The big players make it difficult to run a small personal server, but running a dedicated business or corporate server that sends 100s of e-mails per day is typically fine once it's well established.

You know what would be a better product? A relay SMTP server that works with Google/Microsoft/Amazon/Fastmail et. al. to pump e-mail from personal servers and ensures it won't get caught in spam filters.
I am the author of TermGet. TermGet is sort of like TermGet, but it has an interface. I wanted to make TermGet a cross platform software center for you terminal. I am only 13, and school has made it hard for me to find time for development, so TermGet development has slowed down. When I do have time TermGet is my favorite project to work on, and I'm probably not going to discontinue it until I run out of features to add. I need more feature ideas because TermGet has so many features, I'm running out of ideas.
Redundancy redundancy redundancy. See e.g. Unison, rsync, sanoid or https://syncthing.net - runs on anything, does a good job.

> You still give access to your data to a company, which controls software updates and the EC2 proxy (in this case).

Because you read all code changes every time you `pkg upgrade` or `dpkg dist-update`.

> Many home ISPs have shitty upload connectivity, so your email won't work that well on the go.

Is that really an issue? I probably use <100kB personnal email per day anyway. Even in the US, 100kB/day upload is not unheard of.

Also, the "on-the-go" issue is DL speed: from your device to your server. How long your server takes to send the mail is mostly irrelevant - instantaneous transmission should be done by phone.

> Internet and power outages mean you won't send or receive any email.

More comments around here about sending servers that MUST retry, and fail only after a few days.

> You lose the knowledge email providers get from scale, including ever-evolving spam filters, and a guaranteed clean outgoing IP.

That could be a real issue, but the ever-evolving filters at my ISP clearly can't spot (nor stop) the spam I receive anyway.

The outgoing IP shouldn't be a problem if you've registered it in your DNS, and it matches the SMTP or whatever subdomain.

Security-wise it will depend on the distro. Under Gnome /KDE it will be flatpak responsible for sandboxing. So it doesn't depend (too much) on Purism. On the hardware side they put way more effort (at the price of perf maybe ?) than other manufacturer to avoid backdoors.

I like the idea. But can it handle multiple domains? Also, if I put one in my brother's house, can it connect the two and use them as fail over? That will eliminate my worry about outage and backups.

Indeed. When ~journalists~ spend their whole day on Twitter, it means their resolution of the world is incredibly minute.

Think about the most significant events from 2005. If you're looking back at that resolution, the small day-to-day stuff gets filtered out. The signal to noise ratio of what's actually significant is pretty good.

These journalists are literally involved in the minute to minute. They wouldn't even notice the signal if it kicked them in the head, because they live in the noise.

I suspect the ban is based off of all of the post World War 2 scholarship on fascism and the list of signs and symptoms - when you have literal nazis not facing immediate ejection but being condoned, pushing every all while engaged in such a political shift such that George W Bush would be now considered leftist it is reasonable to be worried. Implying your foes lack even the sapience of a goldfish is /way/ more worrying in that context than the juvenile unself reflective solipsism.
Yep. That's exactly it. Those unnecessary service calls are more likely to be Google-esque services for event tracking and user analytics than spying like U.S has portraited. In the old days when carriers released major smartphones, those will be the equivalent of bloatwares and their supporting services. If the guy examines Samsung Galaxy phones, it would almost be the same. The only difference is probably that TLS adoption are VERY LOW in Chinese market (Surprised? Not for a surveillance heavy society!), hence their services aren't using https as much as it should.
Services like this are popping up everywhere. It seems to me that daplie's successful indiegogo campaign started it. Of course, daplie was then taken over by cryptocurrency nuts that turned what would have been a good product into a token mining personal server for no good reason.

The founder of daplie is moving on to found ppl, which is also similar to helm, but without email being the primary focus. I started helping with the email feature before getting a new job and not having any spare time for the project. This is a better solution to email than we had come up with.

I still wonder, does one successful kickstarter mean there's enough market demand for these products to succeed? I just can't see personal servers at home becoming anywhere near user friendly enough for the general population. Go try a digital ocean 1-click install 3 times in a row. The results are different every time. I see that same problem happening with these personal servers.

Same feeling here about recursion. I find it really cool that some algorithms can be described quite concisely and often simply, using recursion, sometimes more so than iterative or non-recursive algorithms for the same problem.

The same goes for some data structures, a simple example being a list, as often defined in functional programming languages. E.g.:

A list is either:

- empty, i.e. []

- a head (an element) followed by a tail (which is also a list), i.e. h | t

Lists of any size fit that definition because of the recursive definition.

Similar for binary tree, being either just a node, or a node with left and right child, each of which is a binary tree.

Hi keehun - thanks for posting this on HN! I'm the co-founder and CEO of Helm.

1 - First, we cross reference IP addresses we assign to gateway against known blacklists. This helps ensure emails will be delivered. We also fully support email authentication (DMARC, DKIM, SPF) and configure reverse DNS as well. Lastly, the IP address for a gateway stays fixed so the domain and IP will build reputation over time. Helm servers require the service to work to get around the residential internet connection challenges in the US (port blocking, dynamic IPs, untrusted IPs)

2 - We will be doing 2 things - first, we will publish as open source what is required for people to be able to run their own gateways with their own AWS account in the event Helm has to shut down. Second, the unit economics on the service are positive so as long as we have customers, my co-founder and I are dedicated to running the service. We take a page from Garry Tan and Posthaven in this regard.

3 - The way this works for sending emails, your devices that you compose emails on will connect directly with your Helm server over TLS. Your Helm server will then initiate a TLS session with the server hosting your recipient's email. So we as a company have no visibility to any of that data - at rest, or in transit. I hope this helps - I'm happy to explain this in more detail as needed.
IIRC the English translation of Master & Margarita was first published in 1968. Marianne Faithful pass her copy to Mick Jagger, who read it in one sitting, overnight, then write Sympathy for the Devil. What Jagger wrote was a long way from the final recorded version [1]. When Jean Luc Godard filmed the Stones recording in 68 for his One Plus One movie he was lucky enough to capture the evolution of the song in the studio: the tempo was cranked up, samba drums and woo-woo vocals added, and Keef did the bass and guitar parts.

Google has this aura about it that makes it seem like the pinnacle of career accomplishment, at least for software engineers. There are plenty of starry-eyed college students who are astonished that people ever leave Google voluntarily (unless they are going to Facebook/Netflix/${UNICORN}).
>Most prescribed drugs are reimbursed 100%.

No, that's only for life threatening conditions.[0] You perceive that they are 100% reimbursed, but thats only thanks to private insurances, which are mandatory if you're employed by a firm, but up to you in other cases.

>Glasses, complicated dental procedures, insoles, ... are very little reimbursed.

Yes and it's often quite a surprise to end up paying for dentistry (which is rather expensive) when you already pay a lot for public + private insurances.

>The overall total (drugs+glasses and such) is 62% reimbursed by social security according to the article by vie-publique.fr

In total € I have no doubt. But SS still reimburses about 8 euros for a pair of glasses. That's not 62% of a glasses bill, and the 8 euros for all glass wearers in france do not account for 62% of the SS expenses. The drug reimbursement look that huge but that's only because some people are with lifelong, expensive treatments (1500€ per month for HIV for example) that are fully covered.

In real life, a little portion of people are benefiting from this coverage, and healthy people are prescribed 30% reimbursed medication for mundane affections (I looked up classic treatment for gastroenteritis). So you end up paying with your private insurance (if you took one, which is not guaranteed if you're freelancer for example), or even your own money if you need glasses or a new tooth.

I just want people not to have the wrong idea about how the system works. You're fully covered by society if you're very sick/very poor, that's true, but if you come in France to start a business you probably don't fall in either category and will end up paying a lot (social contributions + through your own money or your private insurance). And private insurance prices are rising 3% per year. Which is to be expected since social security are in the process of unreimbursing many drugs or acts, alas with no cost decrease.

This is especially frustrating for job seekers. I've seen so many job listings calling for extensive experience with Bootstrap, for example. Why would knowledge of CSS and the grid system not suffice there?

It's a bit disheartening to see titles like "Ember ninja" and "Angular guru", if only because recruiters don't know that both of those things are just JavaScript frameworks.

I'm excited for Web Components but I wonder how it will play out practically. Do people put "HTML Expert" on their resumes today?
People were saying that about jquery too. Vue is gaining a lot of traction too. This year it is STILL react being the one with biggest userbase, but that might not be true in a year or two.

> I totally fail to see why it's a conservative meme at all

It's not a conservative meme. 4chan trolls != conservatives != The Right != Republicans != ... Almost nothing fits neatly into a bipolar spectrum of "us vs them" and 4chan culture is mostly about being where the normal people don't want to go.

On /b/ you can find posts complaining about Jews controlling the economy, trans people swapping pictures, memes about niggers cucking white bois, incest fantasies, celebrations of school shootings, people claiming their favorite anime characters as waifu/husbando, complaints about how this is all cancer and needs to stop ...

There is no unified message that would fit into mainstream politics.
Don't take VC money. Fight for Universal Basic Income and tax the rich at a MUCH higher percentage.

VC's just sit around waiting for a regular startup to get so hot, so fast, that they simple CANNOT scale without major dollars.

With the cloud and so much physical overhead available as an online service, you don't need any VC when you reach this point. You can crowd-fund, or get a loan from a bank (shocking, I know), or (and this is my favorite) go to as many VC's as you can while you are the hot startup and demand ridiculous terms and walk away from all of them.

The Kano kits come to mind in spirit, Though it's more of a guided cushier approach than just getting into basic. The basic idea is a Pi and it's accessories that you "build yourself" and then some optional add ons like a light grid display.

I think the actual coding Python and Javascript with a block formatting kind of like lego Mindstorms. Come to think of it you can use Small Basic on Mindstorms which might be interesting.

For the Kano the coding portion is web based and free if you want to take it for a spin, as well as their OS.

Free email verification chatbot
I definitively believe that we need to fix the way email is handled, but I don't think this is the solution.

I wanna get away from "free" email, but I think it requires a more full blown solution, something which offers a client with the polish of gmail.com along with it's excellent spam detection/protection, that can be self hosted on any random computer/server (using docker, or similar) that is very nearly plug and play.

Unfortunately, such a project would need to be OSS, with a consulting-type income structure, but the big companies that would be willing to pay for such a thing all use O365, and would never be willing to try something not nearly as proven.
Ok but what makes a certain meme have enough power that it then has fecundity/fidelity? There must be a resonance between powerful memes and 'human nature' or else they surely wouldn't propagate (e.g. fear of death, in the case of the 'hell' meme).

I suppose what I'm wondering is: is this meme making people fret that they might actually be NPCs? It must be resonating with people or else there wouldn't be uproar.

> Also, the "on-the-go" issue is DL speed: from your device to your server. How long your server takes to send the mail is mostly irrelevant - instantaneous transmission should be done by phone.

Not commenting on the rest: you download incoming mail from your server, i.e. your home uplink. If someone sends you a photo or zip file, that’s the bottle neck.

Not to mention syncing email with the brain dead protocol that is IMAP…

Its too bad when Google themselves want to do it in China everyone loses their shit!
It's hilarious how solvable most of these problems are, and yet they aren't even closed to be solved.

Like, backups. Everyone knows how this can be done. Have automated scheduled backups. Encrypt them. Send to offsite storage. This should be handled through a generic backup protocol so you can choose your provider and be sure the app doesn't siphon your personal data.

Users should not need to manually fuck around to set this up for every computer and every app they use. This should be absolutely standard. Preferably built at OS level. I know Ubuntu had something of this sort, but IIRC it wasn't based on an open standard where you could choose your own storage provider. Windows? Hah.

Instead, developers strip users of all control over their data claiming it's for their own good, and push everything to a myriad proprietary cloud solution through random protocols with dubious security implications.
Wouldn't React-native-web ( https://github.com/necolas/react-native-web ) qualify into this list ?

It offers APIs compatible with React-native (which is obviously a huge time saver for cross platform UI dev).

Its disadvantage is that it does not offer (by intent and philosophy) any components outside of React native.

There's some places that are horror shows; at place that tried to recruit me, I read reviews on Glassdoor.com about how HR monitored the parking lot and the bathrooms to make sure people were coming in on time and not spending too much time on the toilet!

You avoided my direct question. Most of the accounts in question did not spread the wrong election date.
I think it goes further than that, that alien and native lifeforms will probably be toxic to one another. All life on this planet evolved in tandem, and have some of the same basic compounds for life, so there are few toxic interactions between life forms, excluding those evolved for defense (and even then there are exceptions, plenty of plants contain. And even then there are plenty of exceptions. But lifeforms from a completely different evolutionary line may use completely different proteins for basic functions. Even using the same proteins but of the opposite chirality could result in toxic reactions.

I think that even if we found alien life that evolved and developed on a planet much like ours, and used the same amino acids, metabolic processes, and cellular structures, the odds are high that contact with them would result in toxic interactions.
Are you concerned that in a very high dimensional space you'd need an absurd number of points in order to produce a meaninful KDE, since otherwise the points will be too sparse? If so I think I'm with you... you'll probably just end up with a very large number of small, weak clusters.

Although I wonder if you can't account for that by simply increasing the kernel bandwidth. Perhaps not. Perhaps this is why mean-shift seems to be mostly used for computer vision and image processing, where (I guess?) the number of dimensions is low.
Yes, this is what protonmail.com offers.
Satire definitionally takes on elements of what is is criticizing. So your question is good, do they understand they're engaging in the same behavior they are criticizing. I think the answer is obviously they do. Just like when SNL does an obnoxious loud rendition of Donald Trump, they know they are being loud and obnoxious. I don't think most people would say SNL self-owns because they are being loud and obnoxious just like Trump - they are clearly mocking him.
