Added nuance: A government-sponsored investigation using a narrow data set generated by a company responsible for the cleanup of a single site, of which Waycross has multiple under investigation, decided there was no conclusive evidence of Waycross having abnormally high levels of cancer, excluding diagnoises of cancer that occured outside of the town even if the diagnosises were on town residents.

Also: A town newspaper did not cover this, and the head editor as well as the mayor believes this is a case of "Facebook moms" and overly-concerned parents using personal griefs to wreck Waycross's tenuous economic bounce back.

> their revenue has increased more than their losses

But "net loss" already takes revenue into account! "Loss" is not the same thing as "expenses".

The revenue increased substantially, but so did expenses, resulting in a slight decrease in loss over the past 3 years.

At the current rate, the company would reach break-even profitability around the year 2070.

"Yakuza is a different breed say than Hell's Angels, Mafia and Vor V Zakone"

That's because Hell's Angels is a 1970's outlaw motorcycle group of misfits, the "Mafia" is (I assume you're reffering to the Italians) is a virtually defunct organized crime group who haven't been relevant for 60 years, and Vor V Zakone is a prison group.

I'm not surprised Microsoft's IP range is known by google. Sending from sendgrid, mailchimp, and a few others that send a lot of mail also works. It's when a new player wants to get in the market (or god forbid, an individual with their own nerdy server) where the trouble arises.

What in the world? The Hudson leads to the Erie Canal which leads to the Great Lakes which lead to the largest system of navigable waters on Earth which happens to be right on top of the largest mass of arable land on the planet.
You’re saying that the system’s apparent behavior is by design, but wasn’t that design put forth by employees of the company in question? These aren’t natural phenomena we’re discussing. When a puma tears apart a rabbit, it does so without any influence from the agency of man. Gmail’s “spam filtering” is no such thing: it was deliberately designed to work this way by paid professionals who knew what they were doing.

> why offload the variable resolution to the client side when it can be done at compilation time?

Imagine I have a property that I need to change depending on screen resolution in order to make a responsive layout.

In my CSS rule I specify it to have a fallback default and to take a CSS variable that over-rides it.

Elsewhere in my CSS I define the CSS variable with a media query.

The CSS rule is quite clear in that it shows that something changes or can change.

In the olden days I would be declaring the CSS rule twice. Once for the default and once inside the media query.

With the old fashioned approach it would not be clear looking at the CSS rule that it had an over-ride somewhere else in a media query.

By using the CSS variable with a fallback in just the one rule I know that something in the rule changes. I can easily find the CSS variable, regardless of how it has been scoped to see what makes it get set. Since I know the convention for most of the CSS in the stylesheet, e.g. mobile first, I can guess that the variable is for the desktop setting.

The advantage is that I have code that I can hand on to the next guy and feel happy that even if they are not yet up to speed on CSS variables they will be able to easily work out what is going on with individual rules.

There is no point in Sass variables now, they are defunct. All of the functionality is superseded and there is no point learning two ways to achieve the same task when you can just master one. This trumps any 'compilation' speed ups, resolving variables is something that does not slow page load times.

The only use case for not using CSS variables is if you have to support people using extremely old browser.

Abuse can exist anywhere, but I wager it is more likely in countries with little or no worker protections, and where there are more people working in poor conditions.

Because where I am, we do have worker protections, minimum wage, modern-day slavery rules that forbid indenture, maximum hours, health and safety regulations. The people in the factories and mines that make the robots have none of these.

My point above was that you are only ever able to detect abuse where you have contact. If you feel your cleaner is being abused (again, just talk to them) you have so many options for legally improving their situation.

That may mean the agency they worked for goes out of business under a hail of prosecutions, but there is a solid demand for cleaners (both self-employed and agency). Somebody else will step in and take on that work, and ultimately employ local people to do the same work.

I was surprised to see this is true about their advertising! While dated, their 2016 disclosures showed ads making up only 18% of revenue ($109mm)[1]. Which was only about 10% of the $1.6bn that Bing pulled in around that time[2].

Having managed ad campaigns on LinkedIn, that's both surprising and not. They have a horrifically high cost per click compared to other channels, but the results in B2B verticals were usually enough to warrant putting up with it. So it's surprising it was only pulling in around $100mm. But then, their self-service component didn't allow for accessing all of their inventory, and none of my clients wanted to go in with the commitments necessary for the high-touch placements. So that may have dampened demand a good bit.

That said, Sales Navigator (and premium subscriptions) is an equally small portion of revenue. 65% of their money came from their "talent solutions" recruiting features.

At one point I heard a rumor that no human had worked on Google Finance in over a year, simply because nobody was interested. Not their biggest service of course, but still a major site that presumably generates a lot of revenue. If they think that global finance is "too boring" for their amazing engineers then support for everything is liable to be canceled at any moment.
I run a highly customised PHPBB forum.

Without these customisations that forum would be overrun with all sorts of spam.

However, these customisations only stop spam postings but can't stop actual registrations.

Based on the users that I see who are registering I see a great majority of these spammers love using Gmail accounts.

So while it is good that Google Gmail is trying to fix these spam issues, from where I stand Gmail users seem to be a big part of the spamming problem.

Spammers love Gmail only because they can easily create spamming e-mail accounts.
