Thanks for the link. I think the tool you linked specifically checks whether DKIM is set to allow Google's servers to send mail on the behalf of your domain.

These checkers for example don't find any errors with the DNS record:

https://dmarcian.com/dkim-inspector/?domain=tablix.org&selec...

https://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=dkim%3atablix.or...

One thing that this second one does find is the lack of a version number in the record. I see that the RFC [1] got updated since the last time I checked and having that is now recommended instead of optional. I'll add that. Thanks!

EDIT: after adding version record, Google's tool now shows green checkmark for DKIM as well.

In any case, it's impossible to test a DKIM setup just by looking at the DNS records. The true test is to verify the actual signature in the message. Last time I checked, the mail on the receiving end (Gmail), did have "dkim=pass" in the Authentication-Results headers.

While I can't tell Apple they did the same for classic MacOS, for the latter they did provide guidelines for developers about their design philosophy and while OSX changed visually over the years, for most of the part it works in same way - controls, widgets, buttons do the same. Microsoft tried doing same thing around Vista but they never managed to keep following own rules and OS, Office, Windows Live software releases were always split apart in terms of how they look and work; this still happens even today - Metro interface still shares the ground with classic elements. Not mention that deep beneath all visual changes they made in last 18 years there are still resources dating 9x/NT times.
This sounds like someone just cribbed off their syllabus from design school to write up a brief.
>Why would safety be contrary to business opportunity?

They are a balancing act, you can't maximise both. If you maximised safety in recreation, for instance, you would make things like horse racing illegal. If you maximised business opportunity, you'd be allowed to feed the horse pcp before the race.
It can be repaid in the sense that we stop being tired. This is what people mean by repaid.

But the lost productivity from when we were tired can not be recovered.

Hi qnsi,

Do you mind if I ask you what version number of Chrome you were using? I'm trying to track down the CSS problem that you screenshotted.

Thanks
Good memory! A few things:

- My comment in this thread was mainly about gmail for businesses, hence the contrast between "I'm not going to fix their problems and just tell the recipient their setup is broken" and the previous "it's doable". Other mail providers are usually no problem at all, and personal Google accounts are also better.

- For email to personal gmail accounts it seemed to be enough to send a few mails and get a good reputation. Since then (and since my previous comment), I think I've started ending up in spamboxes again, but the number of messages I send to Google is very low. It's not outright rejected, though, since I would notice that.

- I still think this part of my previous message is very true: "I don't think we should dissuade people from doing it, especially if the fact that more people doing it means that it'll be easier next time because it'll be slightly more common. Many of us are in tech and the field is a small subset of the population. Even if it's a small amount of servers setup by us, that could make a noticeable on those working at bigcorps who write the hostile receivers."

> Maybe your difficulty with Gmail's mystery filtering algorithm will warn others that depending on personal email servers for reliable outgoing email is a non-trivial endeavor.

I hope not. For what it's worth, I'm still at it and have no plans to stop hosting my own mail! I'm very happy not to share my data with a third party (the ideological part of it), but on a practical level, I also don't have a spam problem and I can be sure that email arrives. No message has ever not reached me due to spam filtering. It's also much faster than, say, Runbox, which we use at work and takes at least 30 seconds for any sign up email to arrive (too short to get coffee, too long not to be slightly annoyed). As another data point, my girlfriend switched from 1und1 to my mail server because it has some conveniences, without most of the downsides (since I manage it all for her). She hasn't had delivery issues so far.

As a related tidbit, I've also recently started blocking Google from my website. They're being a dick on the internet (not to me, it's more of a solidarity move, see https://lucb1e.com/!130) and like with email, I'm not dependent on Google so I am again in the rare position to say "no, I'm not going to play your game" to Google. I'd rather encourage others to do the same than to give up and treat both email and search results as a walled garden.
Forget about open source. AWS is eating the lunch of venture backed pure software (and hardware!) businesses everywhere. Go to re:Invent and look at what they release in terms of MVPs. Each product release that they present could be a huge headline for Sequoia, a16z, etc on TechCrunch 5 years ago. For example, in 2018 we had:

Ground Station

Robo Maker

DeepRacer

Bunch of storage features (many could be standalone startups)

Bunch of IoT stuff (same -- SiteWise, ThingsGraph, etc.)

Many launched with real customers, too.

It is NOT EASY to bring a software MVP to market and AWS does it massively, across many efforts, in parallel, EVERY SINGLE YEAR.

Being a developer right now and complaining about AWS cannibalizing open source is a lot like running a late 1400s monastery and complaining about how Gutenberg Bibles are displacing hand-written Bibles.
Look closely at their revenue vs. their losses.

They could have been profitable in most years just by not increasing spending - which is entirely possible in their industry. Their expenses aren't really a function of the amount of customers they have.

So they consciously chose to not be profitable to grow their business instead (as they stated).

It's not like they couldn't be profitable if they wanted to.

Their business actually looks to be in an amazing shape.
Good to know, im on virgin and they block ip not dns.
Slack is not flexible or customizable - when basic features like muting someone are requested you're told that you are using Slack wrong. The notion of a one size fits all solution is flawed.
Sure it is, and that's why you have proper backups. iCloud is stupid simple to setup, and forget about until needed.
Ah yes, it must be statistics that is giving people cancer.
A cuckoo filter is a Bloom filter replacement that supports deletions and which often uses less memory. This code base implements a Morton filter, a revamped cuckoo filter that is, respectively, up to 15.5x, 1.3x, and 2.5x faster for insertions, deletions, and lookups than the original implementation out of CMU. It uses a compressed block format that enables in-situ reads and updates on a logically sparse, yet compactly stored filter (i.e, without block materialization). It particularly excels when the filter is bigger than L3 cache. Morton filters also support self-resizing like a quotient filter but resize up to 20x faster. The research paper appeared at the 2018 VLDB Conference. A subsequent extended version has been invited to appear in the VLDB Journal.
Agreed and I I think a lot of it comes down to financial factors. In other words, why are we paying someone so much to make design decisions and how can we be assured they are doing it correctly? Because of science.
> but still a major site that presumably generates a lot of revenue

That's very possible! It's definitely an amazing site and it's absolutely clear that it could drive revenue.

With that said, perhaps it might be like Google News, where it not only doesn't generate profits, but doesn't generate any revenue at all? Is it possible that being a major site and generating revenue might be entirely distinct?
I was just musing about what makes a tech company more likeable.

Personally, I made money for years using Microsoft products, find Amazon quite useful (living in small towns) and just see Google as irritating. But then, if the internet were reduced to USENET, email, and maybe a curated list of serious websites like online banking, I'd be fine with it, and probably better off in some ways.
If you've been doing it for 15 years, why should you have to stop?
The funny thing is Theresa May did exactly the same thing as Home Secretary. Lots of blustery policy about cracking down on the internet with talk of heavy-handed censorship. Creating the 'hostile environment' for migrants that culminated in the Windrush scandal.
• We have a limited operating history, which makes it difficult to forecast our revenue and evaluate our business and future prospects.

• We have a history of net losses, we anticipate increasing operating expenses in the future, and we may not be able to achieve and, if achieved, maintain profitability.

• We have experienced rapid growth in recent periods and our recent growth rates may not be indicative of our future growth.

Feel like this is essentially copypasta for tech IPOs now. Still, congrats to them, their revenue growth is pretty dang impressive.
The cost of migrating away from something like slack for an enterprise org is enormous compared to what it costs.

Teams might have parity in a vacuum, but everyone already knows what slack is and how to use it, including people you might hire in the future.

If you want to build an RMDB with Clojure, you are right, but this kind of project is very rare, including Datomic, which is built on top of RMDB, I don't think it needs to deal with such low-level and general operations.

Implementing an RMDB is not equivalent to relational algebraic operations. I think it should be to use simple, direct and lightweight the relational logic model to solve real-world problems. Don't over-optimize, over-generalize and over-complicate, keep it simple and direct.

Just like we design a Database in RMDB to solve real-world projects, This is the normal way to use relational algebra and models. After the database design is complete, we don't need care how the index is implemented, and we don't need care the underlying storage of the data. I mean, clojure is used as RMDB , is not used as
tool of construct RMDB .

Therefore, my method is to design the application-level data model. The problem you said does not exist. When I get the data from the database (or elsewhere), I simply transform the data to the target model, you can think of this model as a table or view, you don't need to transform again, so you don't need multiple indexes.
If thats your understanding of making a prediction then he was accurate by your standards. You clearly did not watch the election night predictions. NYT live model was miles better than 538s.

From what I have seen Slack may have a strong a foothold in some teams but overall it’s not hard to use something else when new teams are formed. I’m my company everybody is slowly moving to Teams. This can be done gradually. Definitely much easier to replace than SAP.
There's no need to be nasty and sarcastic.
The US is strangled by responsibility-avoidance everywhere, public and private sector. Layers and layers of consultants and bureaucrats to make sure no-one ever makes a decision without being able to point a finger elsewhere, repeat recursively for each added layer. No one with the will and authority to call people on this behavior and cut through the BS—the people at the very top are doing it, too, in fact it's most of what they do—so it works, and so it keeps happening, on a larger and larger scale.
> excluding diagnoises of cancer that occured outside of the town even if the diagnosises were on town residents.

That's a pretty big exclusion. It's not as if pollution gives a damn about political boundaries.
No, that's not what "statistics/variance predicts". What statistics predicts is that even if there was no pollution whatsoever in the entire country we would still see some towns with increased cancer rates.

That said, I didn't do the math and it's entirely possible that the rates in Waycross are way above what one might expect by chance.
It turns out that it matters more to be able to exercise judgement than to be able to create brand new things.

Most really amazing products and inventions are constructed out of technological building blocks that already existed. The Mac, the iPhone, Bitcoin, and many others that I'm forgetting. Existing technology, applied together with judgement about the way it can actually be used by The Rest Of Us, for lack of a better term.

Fun fact: Not one cryptographic primitive in Bitcoin was less than (IIRC) 7 years old when Bitcoin was first released.
Sounds like it was a personal device that had access to work email. That's a whole other issue that I wish had a better option than "adding your work accounts lets anyone using the phone see them."
The SIM Swap Fix That the US Isn't Using
I have a strict policy to not let my kids play with phones. (Books and toys are plenty fine.) And I don't let my phone hang around and used as a passive toy (in locked mode) either. Yet more than once my phone has been "found" and the max password attempt has been triggered. It happens really easily despite my efforts.

Now in the grand scheme of things, this is just an annoyance as I can restore the phone from up-to-date backups. If someone is concerned enough, they could also toggle the wipe feature on/off based on their travels and live with the risk of an accidental wipe knowing that things can be restored.
Hrm, an automated appeal to automated spam-listing probably looks a lot like spam to the algorithms used to detect spammers.
The costs of course - they need something to enforce the safety and that isn't free. And "should be" isn't worth a hill of beans unless it actually gives a competitive advantage like users trusting them more for it.

Of course "safety" out of a politician's mouth is usually an excuse for a power grab. It is also abused in such a way that proving that the mayor is a serial killing cannibal, that the police knew about this and did nothing about it is a threat to public safety because it could incite a riot. However the cannibal mayor is not.
> Slack isn't markedly better in any area than Teams from my testing.

Is it markedly worse in any area? Seems like for any business that's already entrenched in slack there isn't much incentive to move off. I'm assuming in your case there must have been some large benefits in order to spend a multi-month effort forcing a migration.
Unfortunately governments plan in 5 year cycles, companies plans of Amazon scale are typically longer than that. I fear we will, and in some ways already have, reached a point where corporation actions influence government decision through public perception. PR is corporate propaganda, although it's currently inconsequential save for consumers being ripped off, in a democracy if you can convince your company is doing good and politicians are bad, then the role of government in regulating those companies is subject to people whose careers are being decided by the electorate that believe the words of a private entity more than a public one. Suddenly reform is off the cards.

In more recent events people keep saying these huge companies need to pay their fair share of taxes, yet politicians have made no headway with closing the mechanisms that allow them to avoid it, and if people lose their jobs because companies are suddenly forced to pay taxes they would have otherwise look to avoid paying, then the government will most likely be given the blame.
The old truth is (at least how I heard it maybe 20 years ago) - if you work physically, relax by doing some mental work and vice versa.
That's why it's important to do what 538 did here. Look at all the different places where they made 5 in 6 predictions ( and there are a lot of different races) and make sure that 5 in 6 of them happened.
“Could you "replace Outlook" -- it's just an email client after all.”

Absolutely. There is always pain in transitions but some are easier than others.
This depends on what you mean by “industry”. If Uber and Lyft are transportation companies, Snapchat is a media company and Tesla is a car company, than there are multiple industries. If you think of all those companies as “tech” than, no.
On top of that it's still pretty favorable compared to other web framework sizes.
How do you think this would work exactly?

If traders begin to lose faith in Tether, wouldn't they sell Tether and buy BTC, ETH, XRP, BCH, LTC, EOS etc.?

So wouldn't that cause the USDT price to decline to $0.97, $0.95, $0.90, $0.75, etc.?

And at the same time the demand for BTC, ETH, XRP, BCH, LTC, EOS would cause their prices to rise, wouldn't it?

I suppose at some point, after the $3B of Tether is liquidated, people could lose confidence in the entire market, but until that happens wouldn't cryptocurrency prices increase rather than decrease?

Version 73.0.3683.103 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Yes, am sure, they may have future plans to develop something in house, but I was talking about what's going on currently. I mean they probably have a lot of plans; develop their own modem, switch Macs to ARM etc. but that's not the reality on the ground at the moment.

Also, there's a lot of display tech that Samsung has, so Apple would either have to license these, driving the component cost higher, or work around them, which seems quite difficult.
That's a pretty difficult case to reason about. But setting aside the time warping effects, I think a black hole's entropy would be too high to support any kind of memory-bearing structure in its vicinity.
These may well be exaggerations, but the fact is the DC 10 earnt these nick names:

You seem too focused on the exact scenario of applying to graduate schools, when the OP's comment wasn't circumscribed to that, and my comment certainly was much more generic than that.

People's choice of poor quality service provider X impacts their ability to do their tasks when the service is poor. X can be email, insurance, banking, anything you externalize in your life.

The fact that a service is popular is a poor indication of service quality, if there is a correlation at all. Examples abound for popular services and products that are poor quality. Usually, the best services are a bit up, from the popular choice point, in the price/quality ratio. More so if there are free (as in beer) offerings in the market.
So, when do we get an interpretive dance based unlock?

I'd almost be okay with it if I had the satisfaction of knowing some poor bastard out there had a job that basically boiled down to trying to figure out how the user would dance with a cellphone.

Bonus points in that security minded people would get some much needed exercise.
I didn't like WOWS for the reason you describe. They went completely over the top with the party/drug/girls scenes, and you can tell the film is trying to overtly glorify that kind of lifestyle, as opposed to showing the trappings of that life. I got the same feeling I get when I see some random flexing on Instagram. It felt fake.

Boiler Room on the other hand might have been a worse movie, but it had a low-budget feel about it that at least grounded the characters and story within some sense of reality. I think they were going for the Glengarry Glenross aesthetic.
Clean trains? China?

I've lived in Shanghai for 5 years, a few years ago. Had a great time and learned a lot. I wouldn't necessarily describe the place as 'clean' though.
Much of this goes into geo redundancy too. These 10M people are not in one place. So, you need redundant highly availably deployments in many regions. This does add lots of infrastructure duplication but is also super speedy for end users. This adds to the cost big time! For example, I was working with a gaming company and they had 10+ regions around the world, all using this type of setup, just to keep latency to an absolute minimum. I'm sure slack is doing the same.
No, thank you for using GitLab! We appreciate you :)

Let me restate. It is, in my opinion, possible that Google Finance is in a position like that of Google News and thus generates no revenue. Have you considered this possibility? Do you think it might affect the willingness of people to work on a product? If I'm utterly wrong, I would love to know so that I can avoid being wrong this way in the future.

The headline mirrors the article's portrayal of the quest to find out the truth. If the article was just a few paragraphs long, I would have felt slighted. But as such, it read more like a mini-novel/documentary.
I know they bought one of the month-long ad campaigns in Penn[1], which could not have been cheap. I also see their ads in some subway stations.

[1] For those who don't frequent Penn Station in New York, the Hilton Corridor that cuts down the center of the station contains a few dozen billboards that represent pretty much the only non-public-service advertising in the station. Amtrak sells the entire lot of billboard space to one advertiser at a time, generally for about a month. Slack was up there a few months ago.

The HIV scenario is not equivalent. It was new, people were frightened and ignorant. There is no cure, no vaccination. Measles is a well understood disease that had been eradicated. Openly putting others at risk because of some nonsense belief should not be tolerated.

Are you good with a HIV+ person knowingly infecting others because it's their right to refuse antiviral medication? Measles and other highly contagious diseases can infect large populations without anyone knowing before it's too late.
maybe but they were instrumental in making the lasting peace.
Preprocessors like Stylus has all you want and in a better way (ex : variable declaration).

I already have something better than CSS in 5 years when most browsers in the market get the newer CSS, so I don't see a point in following CSS now.

Better to spend time making the preprocessor more accessible to developers.

There is an ongoing effort to get us migrated to latest stable first. So we just upgrade from 5.0.x to 5.1.x https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/27480 there are still lots of warnings and deprecations to fix. Rails 5.2 will come next and I believe when we get to the point to migrate to Rails 6 it will be stable already.

There is no plan to ship with unstable/master that I know of.
