Wouldn't this be best handled with SRV DNS records or some other service discovery process outside of SMTP?

Alright, I'm the creator of this user account and the one that made it public, and I'm going to claim it back now. Maybe I'm a dumb kid, but I think if any country can maintain a highly diverse population without internal "simmering war", it's the US. The greed of hospitals is not somehow explained by xenophobia. Generations of people born in perverse power structures, doing their best to strengthen and reinforce them, seems much more suitable of an explanation. Genetics will mix and people will evolve. Deal with it.
Consumer friendly would be making telecoms pay for it, not taxpayers.

When my Dad told me he was going to donate his house to the local hospital I told him “I’ll support whatever you decide.”

I pointed out that they weren’t a charity and that the CEO of the hospital was paid $1.8 million year. [1]

He changed his mind.

Nobody sane is predicting "no new phenomena at the multiple TeV scale". The correct statement is "no credible predictions of new phenomena at the multiple TeV scale". Not so much because such predictions come from "(often the same) theorists", but because the available data really doesn't offer much of a clue as to what might lie beyond the LHC's reach.

There may be new phenomena at the multiple TeV scale, but it is also quite possible that there is nothing there, and nothing all the way up to the Planck scale. Without even naturalness to lean on, the only guiding principle left is "pay and pray".
On NT though, there's a deeper divide between processes and threads. Threads on NT should be a lot cheaper. Especially since you can't fork on NT without diving into undocumented APIs* :)

*On the Windows subsystem, of course. There's the lower level ZwCreateProcess function which can/could be used to fork, but it's undocumented and I believe it only existed for the old SfU. Now that that's gone and Linux Subsystem uses something called Pico Processes, I'm guessing this old fork flag is pretty much unsafe to use for anything at all.
Send who, the debt collector? "Oh, no, I switched from Dropbox to backblaze. Go get the money from them." I guess you can say that, but I doubt it works.

> The two phases in the ATM scenario would be,

> Phase 1 ATM Request to withdraw funds secures a lock

> Phase 2 Gets the all clear, writes the new balance to the ledger, distributes funds.

> Anything trying to modify the ledger at that same time should be blocked for the short time it takes to process the transaction.

So you're saying 2PC is basically just "acquire a lock... do two things... release lock"?
Slightly off-topic, but there's something about H-1B abuse that the vast majority of people in the SV bubble don't realize. H-1B appears to hurt the poor.

No, I'm not talking about struggling coders in India who dream of a life in Seattle. I'm talking about the really hand-to-mouth poor who apparently rely on seasonal H-1B visas to feed their families.

For example, there was a report on Radio New Zealand this week about how dirt-poor Samoans can't get H-1B's to go to American Samoa to work in its last fish cannery because all of the American visas have been slurped up by the mainland tech industry.

I know H-1B's are supposed to be for specialists, and according to Wikipedia: "A specialty occupation requires the application of specialized knowledge and a bachelor's degree or the equivalent of work experience."

But I suspect that the "specialist" requirement is lifted for U.S. territories so they can get the workers they need. There are a great number of mainland labor rules that are relaxed, voided, or otherwise not valid in U.S. territories, so I wonder if this is one of them.

Anyway, something to ponder.
It is unsafe. But it would be safe if these two lines were swapped:

This is true, but only in regards to actual commitments like a yearly gym membership. If your intent is to mitigate dark patterns that frustrate the cancellation of a pay-as-you-go relationship, it's better described as shielding yourself from fraud and extortion.

Still, everybody should routinely use nyms when interacting with parties that needlessly ask for them - if for nothing else than to hinder the surveillance society.
A little of topic but the reference as a huge list at the bottom is forgivable for print media, but for interactive media, there is no reason for such inefficient method that requires one to click on the reference only to find yourself skimming through a list trying to remember what the number was and once you have found it, great, now you have to find your way back to where you were reading!

Wikipedia's recent reference links are a great of example of how to do reference right.
The article is not about taking photos, it's about how relationships are mediated and affected by (e.g.) someone's Instagram feed.

It comes down to an essentially Sherry Turkle-esque observation: when a relationship is mediated through images on social media, each fresh image doesn't so much affirm the relationship as assert the continuing independence and individuality of the poster. You could look at it from an information theory perspective: showing people what you are up to through digital images is very different from doing things with those people.
I’m sure a very small portion of the benefits of the interstate highways goes to national defense. If it’s truly necessary for national defense, there should still be tolls levied for the side effects: namely the massive subsidies on personal travel and commercial freight.
No, no, no. This isn't taught in college. It's taught in Elementary School when students learn about the world leaders and take two seconds to discover their actual backgrounds and where their power and wealth truly came from. It's learned while watching movies like Wolf of Wall Street where the beautiful protagonist fucks everybody else, living a lavish and perceivable happy lifestyle, before getting "caught" and suffering virtually zero consequences for his or her actions.

Then, after being learned at an early age, it is reinforced time and time again in the stories of entrepreneurs who make billions immorally and similarly suffer zero consequences.

I think filters are useful as dust / junk collectors, especially modern ones with repellant coatings. The less you clean your real lens the better. The front glass is tough but not airtight so when you clean or dust it there is a real chance of introducing dust or water into the rest of the lens.

Clear filters can’t hurt IQ other than introducing flare or ghosts in backlighting. It’s possible to crack or scratch your front element with minimal to no effect on your picture; a clear piece of glass isn’t going to do anything.

My point is, if there's no specialized police, you have everyone trying to be police, and, well, when every random person tries to do a technical job where peoples' lives are on the line, how do you think it's going to turn out? How do you think evidence is going to be handled?

The thinkers have a political point to make. Well and good. They'd do well to think about chains of custody and interrogation rules and why those things are important to having a society not run by capricious mobs who convict and then hold the trial.

This has been discussed on HN before.

The last time I saw an Amazon employee weigh in, he said the ads are in fact not effective but the ad team isn't measuring it well. In particular, he claimed that he showed them that after adjusting for returns, the order-again rate for a particular expensive item was effectively zero, they asked him to repeat his study for another product, and he wandered off and found work to do for his own team.

Granted that H-1B visas should ostensibly be filled only for positions where it is difficult to find qualified American citizens or permanent residents, but in all honesty are the Department of Labor's allegations really that surprising?

In the Bay Area, qualified job candidates are so scarce that it's quite common for citizens/permanent-residents to change jobs frequently. H1-B candidates are attractive for companies because it is harder for them to switch jobs. Companies can lock these employees for longer, and they can pay them less.

Rather than going after the companies, shouldn't we be focusing on fixing the H-1B visa process instead? It almost seems like the government has set up a broken process for companies to take advantage of, and instead of fixing things, they blame the companies.

There was one instance of a subscription that seemed impossible to cancel. I spent enough effort trying. I called the credit card company and explained the steps I had taken and told them I want any future charges to be considered fraudulent. That company got the hint really quickly.

On the flip side I subscribed to cigar afficiando for a year decade ago. Every year I get a renewal notice, every year I get new issues. I definitely have not paid for it since the first year. I don't know if it is to keep subscription stats up or they make enough on the ad revenue. But I'll receive multiple notices each year to renew and they just keep coming for free.
I honestly don't care about certain tracking- if Facebook knows that I talk about tea with someone, I do not mind receiving ads about tea. I strongly mind ads that are targeted for demographics, especially real estate or insurance ads whose targeted demographics explicitly exclude minorities or something. That really worries me, and the amount of data Facebook has about a person really opens up the door for discriminatory advertising.
Those two things are highly subjective. If the treatment upon the labor could be improved then what are the problems worthy of addressing? It seems software developers at Google have it pretty nice.

As for management demanding more for less that is far more complex than it sounds. Does that imply pay reductions, improvements to efficiency, increased labor education, automation, something else, or a mix of various factors? Demanding more for less is perhaps one of the most solid ways a small shop can compete and take share from a giant titan.

What Does a Site Reliability Engineer Do?
Thanks, that's a good point! I definitely am interested in the subject itself, and I think I would want to do it even if the money won't be as good as it is now, but it's hard to deny that's a factor as well. Mostly, I'm worried that there will be enough oversupply that there will barely be any jobs available at all, but it's reassuring to hear that may not necessarily be true.

I almost wonder if it would make more sense to major in CS and minor in something else, which would hopefully make it easier to specialize in a particular field rather than competing against a lot of generalists. I'm not entirely sure what else I'd want to do though, which goes back to the lack-of-interest problem that you mentioned. It's definitely something to think about!
right, c#'s nullable types are the ultimate in syntactic sugar in that you can just use them like regular value types in most places without realizing they are monads underneath.
With the recent articles doing rounds about the feds Looking into Oracle paying minorities and women less, this seems part of the scheme to basically get lower wage workers under H1B who they know will work like minions for long hours because their visas are tied to the job. It's a pretty standard way of gaming the H1B. Oracle is no different.

Really? I thought the presence of the brand was bigger (back in the day) than that would allow for. An average age of 5 puts a pretty sharp limit on the number of 30-year-olds who can play. They're not going to be balanced out by one -20-year-old each.
Ah thanks that makes sense. I didn't see it when I glimpsed over the site.

That should provides reliable framing on both sides. But as shown in the linked it page it also comes with the downside of not being able to send raw websocket messages which contain a new line - so it's not possible to port existing applications from other websocket servers to this one without having to change communication.
So an obvious solution would be allowing H1B holders to freely change jobs, even with gaps. Accordingly, the employers won't be able to lock the visa holders. Then there will be fair competition that makes sense.
But anyway the big companies don't want to lose the "lock" so it would be hard to change.
This reminds me of a service I signed up for once years ago, can't even remember what it was, but I had no idea how to cancel it and it was direct to my card instead of PayPal.

What ended up happening was I went to the "Edit payment info" page and just entered my card number as 4242 4242 4242 4242, which is a Visa testing card number.

It authorized it as valid and I never dealt with the company again.

I estimated that the daemon just tried to send the data from the local application as a websocket messages whenever it received something through the FD. If the application tries to write a 100kB message to stdout, the daemon might pull this out in smaller chunks of it's socket, since the OS buffer might be not as big. If it's 50kB, then the daemon would send 2 50kB messages instead of a single 100kB one. If the JS on the other side would have estimated that everything is inside a single message things would be broken.

However it looks like the Daemon might wait for a newline until it forwards everything as a message. Which at least fixes this problem, but might have other side effects.

If your going this way you must also take account for "reimplementation from scratch under restrictive licence”.

Apache license don’t say anything about clean room reimplementation under other licence because it’s a tricky subject beyond the scope of the license. I personally think that if someone reimplement Swift, name it Schwift, guarantee it’s 200% faster (for some reasons), and then sell commercial licence of that it should be sued (but with such business plan I believe he’ll go bankrupt first).

Apple logically won’t comment on what they will do in case of a "clean room" implementation because they have zero interest in anybody doing such a thing.

And actually nobody have any interest in such a monstrosity (except maybe for theological reasons?). The project is goddam Appache2, fork it if you want, but spending any second trying to reimplement years of works is a total waste of time. Want to start something from scratch? Fine but do something original. Want to improve swift ecosystem ? Fine but work on the main project or on a clean fork!
It seems reminiscent of marketing tobacco/nicotine to minors. It's easy to say "well, it's not our fault people are breaking the law/contract" up until it comes out that internal documents show the company was targeting such people.

Seems like there are three points of failure here:

1. Dumbfuck kids who don't realize they're spending money.
2. Scummy games that deliberately obfuscate the fact that you're spending real money.
3. Facebook not requiring any sort of verification to spend money via a game.

Remove any one of these three and the problem doesn't exist. Facebook certainly seems to be at greatest fault here, but it's amazing how much the game developers have managed to escape scrutiny.
