* Mail email hosts are not cool with sending messages to large quantities of recipients because it looks like spamming, sending via a host that exists for sending mass email solves that.

* The Mailchimp platform provided some automation for the author when first asking people to opt-in. Presumably each message also includes an Unsubscribe link at the bottom which is less awkward to use than replying to the author, asking that they stop sending the email.

* TFA mentions Mailchimp's templates, it's not easy to create readable formatting of lengthy emails in standard email clients.

* It eliminates the possibility of screwing up and addressing the email to recipients using a line other than BCC.

> I see that life is still going on

This may be something like the idea that life still goes on while you have 10% kidney function and for a certain amount of time after liver failure. Even when a system hasn't outright collapsed yet, that doesn't mean it isn't compromised or even approaching failure.

The grandparent comment describes a situation for handling waste, waste that has serious impacts on the health of the environment. That's what you reduce to "paper and ink," so I'll assume you're part of the crowd that generally trivializes environmental concerns.... as if they've forgotten this is where they live and the food chain is how they eat. And then one day we wake up and it's perfectly normal to have a conversation about limiting our consumption of tuna and other fish because of mercury levels they contain as a consequence of uncontained industrial activity. Because we forgot that we're part of a system. Not surprising to see people do... but it is a little surprising to see it pop up on HN.

Speaking of the food chain, here's some fun food for thought:

Are you the kind of person who just deletes large swathes of code from a system because they're ugly, because they don't fit your aesthetics, because you're not sure what they do and you'd rather just re-write than find out?

>rapidly switch the MAC address on the WiFi adaptor //

Seems like you wouldn't need to do that, just do something akin to a DoS where the traffic is spoofed to contain a different MAC? I guess you'd need driver level access to the adaptor though.

Or, maybe you can just send data whilst flipping random bits in the MAC address memory address location?

Sounds like a fun project!

I have benchmarked similar code extensively, this is a toy version of a FIX checksum. It's not "counterintuitive", it's just broken, especially for infrequently executed code where the instruction fetch stalls will kill your latency.

You are welcomed to load up the godbolt example and try and create better assembly using O2 or whatever else you can think of. You can build the code on your machine and benchmark it too.

But at the end of the day, the compiler output sucks. It's clearly optimized for synthetic benchmarks that chug through large datasets using a tiny amount of code that can fit in L1 cache even after the compiler blows up its footprint.

But my point is that these large datasets with tiny processing kernels (like a video codec for example) are much better suited to different kinds of processors.
manufacturing.gov has 1-year cert ending on Jan 14. Why didn't they create a new one in November 2018? It's not like Jan 14 coming is any kind of surprise. I can understand where snowfall takes a city by surprise - after all, it's hard to predict when exactly the snow would fall. But it's kinda easy to predict when January 14th would happen. Why didn't they prepare?

I'm not even saying why they don't have .gov CA with auto-renewal infrastructure - that'd be too much to ask. But at least some foresight?

I don't believe Knights Landing supports an 8-bit ZMM add.

Changing the code to 32-bit ints results in the "vpaddd zmm0, zmm0, ZMMWORD PTR [rdx]" that you'd expect from the auto-vectorizer.

> You can see that the most recent GCC fails to use the AVX512 zmm registers even after being configured to do so (afaik) and also fails to use more than 4 registers

In the 32-bit vpaddd code... "vpaddd zmm0, zmm0, ZMMWORD PTR [rdx]" becomes a new zmm register allocation in the register-renamer (due to a cut dependency). I doubt any code would be any faster.

In any case, its not about "the number of registers used", proper analysis is about the depth of dependencies. I'd only be worried about small-register usage if the dependency chain is large (which doesn't seem to be the case).

EDIT: I had some bad analysis. I've erased the bad paragraph.

So it seems pretty good in my eyes.
> Surely you’re open to a lawsuit anyway

Of course. But every piece of information the ex-employee has is potential evidence that could be used to support a discrimination claim, and since you don't know what other information they have it will be able to gather and how any feedback you provide will look in light of that, the simple solution is to provide nothing.

> Type erasure in Java is actually a bad thing

I think it being overall a bad thing or a good thing is a matter of opinion. There's arguments for and against erasure, even if you ignore the motivation of backward compatibility, which was a key one in that case.
Any time you know something that others don't, you should act on it instead of blabbing it out.

In this case, this goes triple, because maybe you weren't supposed to be looking at the contents of that hard drive.

If you act on it (e.g. move on to a different job before the layoffs) nobody can suspect anything; maybe it was just your intuition (you deciphered the proverbial "writing on the wall"), or a better opportunity really did come along.
This is, for sure, just an illustrative diagram set as a stand-in for a redaction.

Pretty obvious 1572 is a horizontal mirror copy of 1569. They’re probably numbered for reversible redactions and auditing, and the direction and asymetry is probably due to which leaf (side of the page) of a bound, printed copy they were previously included in. The tooth of the paper is likely the grey tonal artifact of the white negative space silhouette amplified by more than one photocopy cycle.

It’s a templated drawing created as a reusable graphic. The mod style is reminiscent of 50’s/60’s/70’s era illustrators. Like a Hanna-Barbera cartoon.

A specific example--right now on disasterhousing.gov I get this message in Chrome

Your connection is not private

Attackers might be trying to steal your information ...

This server could not prove that it is disasterhousing.gov;
its security certificate expired 21 days ago. This may be caused
by a misconfiguration or an attacker intercepting your connection.

The first statement is extremely misleading, your connection is as "private" as it ever was, since the cryptography still works and the issuer never validated the end-to-end privacy of your information server in any way. That last statement is so misleading as to be mostly just wrong. 100% of expired certificate problems in my experience are due to an organization failing to renew because of inattention ("Bob bought the certificate 2 years ago and used an email he set up on gmail because we didn't have our own mail server back then but we do now and so no one ever looks at that email so we never saw the renewal notice"). I am not aware of any attack on SSL that leverages a certificate that is valid in every way except that it has expired, other than the possibility that an old certificate fell into the attacker's hands. However it is also entirely possible for an unexpired certificate to fall into attackers' hands, and because unexpired certificates are more valuable it is more likely that is what attackers actually will steal (or forge).

I think users would be better served if certificate expiration was a more subtle warning, that perhaps slowly increases its panic-inducing-messaging over long time frames.
Plot to Kill George Washington
Floyd does very nice work, but this particular justification -- at least as expressed in this article -- for a 4-base code is completely flawed. The article claims that the reason to augment the codon table is because only two stop codons could possibly be rewired to code for artificial amino acids. But in fact 43 out of 64 codons could in principle be recoded. That's because of the extraordinary redundancy built into the codon table of 4^3 = 64 codons: there are only 20 coded amino acids, plus one necessary stop codon.

So that leaves 43 codons, not 2.

Working to Solve a Family’s Medical Mystery
If you follow someone on Twitter, that means you want to get their updates. And it's trivially easy to mute people on Twitter/FB so that you can stop seeing people's messages without risking offending them or hurting their feelings.

Another reply mentions having people who don't want to read your email newsletter set up filters to get rid of them. This is possible, but more work than a two-click mute on social media platforms.

Don't get me wrong — I'm not saying FB/Twitter are "better" — just that this solution occupies a middle ground that creates different privacy/relationship issues.
The Blockspring pitch of tech-for-nontech-people always annoyed me since it felt like a solution in search of a problem (see my 2015 comment when its investment from a16z was first announced: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9969890)

That said, the 3.5 year delta with no funding events since suggests more that the runway ran out.
I am usually all for privatization but having .gov CA and issuing new certs without any spending sounds like something that would be a sensible idea even for the most hardcore libertarian.

I wonder if there are any studies on how reliable this is, especially in a crowd. This can be very useful, but I see many ways how the assumption of "MAC addresses" = "people" can be broken:

* As stated in the docs, not everyone has a phone, they estimate it being 70%, but I wonder how accurate this is in different regions for different crowd sizes and applications (cafe visitors vs a parade)

* As stated in the comments, some individuals carry multiple WiFi capable devices and it can be much more than 1 per person

* How large can a crowd get, before signals get jammed to a point this method stops being useful?

* Many people prefer mobile data and sometimes even don't turn WiFi on

So, I mean, it obviously can be used practically, but I struggle to estimate, how much should I believe what the device reads w/o actually seeing the crowd.
