If you deeply care what is the proper way of letting you know about it? I'm sorry but calling these relationships caring is rubbish. If Linus himself said that no one in the mail team listens, then what do the devs that are not the most popular name in the open source world have to do?!
I've written a similar article to this a few years back, so this isn't a new problem and obviously little has been done to fix it:

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

I have SPF, DKIM, reverse DNS, DMARC .. all the things, and yet I still get e-mail dropped.

Will you guys fix Postmaster tools for small servers? What can I do to send e-mail to my friends?
If they whitelisted the major players in the space, I'd worry that the problem would get _much_ worse for everyone else.
I'm with you right until the line break. The thing is: even for the quality-declined cars, we are not paying enough to cover the costs. Those are simply the economics of using a phone app to hire a person to come and pick you up in their car and then drive you somewhere.

The truth is that if you want to pay less for transport then you need to not be taking human-driven taxis.
I noticed that Ant Design has support for React Native: https://rn.mobile.ant.design/

But I'm confused. I thought one of the main selling points of React was that you use JS but are actually rendering native components (not lookalike ones). Does Ant Design for RN build on native components for each platform, or are they created from scratch (like Flutter)?
I enjoyed your comment and it was very prosaic. Thank you for writing it.
I've not anywhere argued that it hasn't been beneficial for people, but simply that it is not innovative.

Here, Uber is just another private hire taxi. They cannot pick up random people from the street (and be insured, anyway), so they would not be picking up random other fares on the way unless the dispatcher told them to. This is what has existed for a long time before Uber appeared, so replicating that elsewhere is not innovative surely?
I think that's a fair interpretation and a good point.
There are lots of comments suggesting starting with a low-rep high-weight compound approach like Rippetoe's Starting Strength or Stronglifts 5x5. I also started there because it is everyone's go-to. It never worked great for me, I maxed out at like 185 squat and 135 bench. I'm now starting over with Michael Yessis's 1x20 program. This is a mixture of compound and single-joint exercises that are intended to build overall strength and avoid weak spots that can prevent progress in other approaches. I'll have to tell you how it works out but he has a lot of good arguments as to why it is best to start with an 8-12 week cycle of 1x20 before you start working on powerlifting 5x5 or 5x3. He's not opposed to powerlifting lifts, just doesn't think it's the right foundation for a new athlete.

Also, if you're like me and have long thighs and a short torso, the back squat is not the best exercise for developing strength as your leverages are bad. When I learned about that, and that the parallel-grip deadlift would be a better one for me, I was disappointed that Rippetoe didn't really promote alternatives to the back squat.
Yes, I know, and it is probably hair-splitting in practice. I just disagree with there being a special category for religious organizations. I think nonprofit status alone is sufficient to cover everyone.

Dunno what the state of banking apps in the US is, but in Canada you can use them to instantly cash cheques, transfer money to others, pay vendors through NFC (without using Google or Apple as intermediaries), trade stocks, pay bills, etc... It's pretty damn convenient compared to websites, or banking apps of 5 years ago.

Spammers can buy cheap VPS and setup all this stuff with scripts. So I don't think that it really helps. It's good to have it (to prevent spoofing), but I'm not even sure that Gmail will use wrong SPF record to deny e-mail, it's not really part of SMTP, those are just optional additions.

But volume is a good argument. I don't think that spamming could be cost-effective with something like 100 e-mails per day from a single IP-address. So why not just let small servers pass every filter in the world (may be except reverse-dns record) as long as they are small? The danger should not be very big.

Of course I might be missing something, I have no idea how spammers really operate. Or may be Google just don't care about personal servers at all.
Good article, thanks for sharing

I did uBiome a couple of years ago, paying out of pocket ~$100-$200 or so for a kit. It was ahead of its time and I think it could have a very bright future.

At the time the it was overhyping the present-day usefulness of the data but wasn't lying about it, similar to 23andMe. I'm hoping this is a 23andMe-like incident and not a Theranos, where the latter I guess blatantly lied about the accuracy of its tests. IMO (I occasionally work with microbiome data in our bioinformatics lab), your microbiome data today is nearly useless but will be indispensable in the future as the technology improves, and we need early adopters to use services like uBiome to get there.

I know nothing about uBiome's newer more expensive products and/or how they bill insurance companies. I hope they're not doing anything illegal there, or if there is a simple settlement that can be reached a la 23andMe's FDA case. I can't imagine they are doing anything more unethical than anyone else in the health insurance industry, which IMO is rotten to the core (I just saw my friend's insurance bill for a normal healthy birth + 2day stay at a hospital in SF for over $60,000 before insurance).

That's not strictly true; Saudi Arabia did not execute him (and does not, otherwise, execute) by crucifixion, it executed him and then crucified him. The Saudi use of crucifixion is a post-execution thing done for emphasis, not a manner of execution like the ancient Roman practice.

But, yeah, still...

Call a cab and wait and pray. Get a call 30 minutes later asking if you still want a cab. Wait 20 more minutes for a cab to actually show up.

This is in a major metro. Calling for a cab sucked if you weren't in a busy area, in which case you could just walk to a major street and hail one.

Quoting from the article, "It turns out that when the LS_COLORS environment variable is not defined, or when just one of its <type>=color: elements is not there, it defaults to its embedded database and uses colors anyway."
These issues need discussion in a neutral venue. China is not a model of anything but given the intense debate in the US about the systemic corruption of the lobbying system pointing fingers at others as if corruption is somehow unique to 'other countries' seems cognitive dissonance. Political corruption is the single biggest source of corruption in most countries which is done officially in the US. Just because you make something 'legal' doesn't suddenly make it any less corrupt.

The 2008 banking crisis revealed massive levels of fraud, collusion and corruption in the banking system and the bailouts with 'too big to fail' betray something even more deep seated and systemic. There is a huge problem of revolving doors across industries with regulators getting hired by the companies they were regulating and politicians getting hundreds of thousands of dollars for speeches. There is a well documented history of corruption in banking, real estate, pharma, energy and multiple other sectors and we have even seen this entering education.

Most commentators know about the widespread corruption in their countries but there is weird dissonance and finger pointing making any kind of informed discussion impossible.
>For instance, why is there so many liquor and gun stores in the 'hood so to speak?

Because they make money. I suspect you'll find many liquor and gun stores in poor red neck areas as well. You can blame outside forces all you want but at the end of the day multi-generational poverty causes and perpetuates many issues on it's own.
Does this same logic apply to promote a Wealth Tax on people who have wealth that's being hoarded?
That's fair, but understand that your city's taxi experience isn't necessarily typical, and also that Uber has the ability to make the experience nearly identical in all markets where they operate (that alone has value). For most markets, that turns out to be higher quality than the local option, but every now and then (like in your case), the reverse is true.

"In 2017, there were about 1,400 deaths due to SIDS, about 1,300 deaths due to unknown causes, and about 900 deaths due to accidental suffocation and strangulation in bed." [1] which works out to be approximately 1 in 1000 babies die of SIDS.

The link you gave says 2500 per year due to SIDS - which appears overstated by 70%.

If "millions of pictures of people of all races ... look perfectly fine", that just means that those photographers had requisite skills. And cared enough to get it right.

But the issue isn't so much about those photographers. It's about the defaults designed into film, cameras, photosensors, and so on. As TFA discusses. So random users -- and even many technicians -- don't get good results when they rely on the defaults. As in "your jacket is lighter than your face". And that's even an issue for many "white" people, which is why TV makeup is such a thing.

And about your paint maker. If they didn't care very much about painting dark-skinned people, maybe they wouldn't put much effort into researching and developing paints that worked well for that. It's exactly the same issue as with Kodak in TFA.

So is that racism? One could argue that it's just not caring very much about some race(s) of people. But one could also argue that anything that's race-based is racism.

Re Competition
Taxis or Uber are not always the cheapest way. One of my friends used to do a lot of travelling to Tokyo on work assignments. The others from the company always hailed a cab and ended up paying $100 for a trip from the airport to the downtown hotels. My friend would jump onto the Tokyo subway and was always there at the hotel to greet the rest of them when their cabs would arrive. He usually paid just a few bucks for the subway token.
Myself, I would sometimes get rides in the day from people I just met on the plane. But then it was a more trusting time. But maybe there is an app there that pairs people arriving in the same town. Those that have their cars in the airport parking lot and are willing to share a ride and those that are willing to pay a few bucks.

YugaByte DB product manager here. we have compared the Spanner and Calvin architectures in depth previously (https://blog.yugabyte.com/google-spanner-vs-calvin-global-co...). one key difference comes from the fact that Calvin’s deterministic locking protocol requires advance knowledge of all transactions’ read/write sets before transaction execution can begin -- this leads to repeated transaction restarts if the secondary index is on a column whose value is changing frequently as well as no support for client-initiated sessions transactions. in other words, Calvin is better suited for a transactional NoSQL database as opposed to a true distributed SQL database.

Anyone else notice the "DCIS Police" on the cops shirt?

DCIS protects military personnel by investigating cases of fraud, bribery, and corruption; preventing the illegal transfer of sensitive defense technologies to proscribed nations and criminal elements; investigating companies that use defective, substandard, or counterfeit parts in weapons systems and equipment utilized by the military; and stopping cyber crimes and computer intrusions.

Priorities: Health care fraud committed by providers that involves (a) quality of care, unnecessary care, or failure to provide care to Tricare‐eligible service members, retirees, dependents, or survivors; or (b) significant direct loss to DoD's Tricare Management Activity.[1]

Maybe they just needed help with the raid and DCIS was available? Or maybe uBiome was ripping of gov't insurers?

> I think nonprofit status alone is sufficient to cover everyone.

There's a whole bunch of major categories of tax exempt non-profit status with different detailed rules, and within the main categories (e.g., charities) there are often minor categories with different variations on the rules.

If you have concrete, disagreements with the rules (including better, simpler alternatives that require fewer distinctions), great.
the main point of a corporation is a shield of liability. both morally and legally. In a corporation, nothing is anybody's fault. Everyone, even up to the CEO, is a process that runs a script commonly called a policy. So you can't even be a member of the corporation without "following policy". But following policy shields you from any blame or accusation of wrongdoing, because it is always acceptable to say "wasn't our choice we were just following policy". The policy just comes out of nowhere. Nobody puts their name on the policy and says "This is what you do because I say so". So you can never track down who created the policy. It was created by people, but those people quickly disbanded and are not traceable to its inception. The CEO has a policy which is simply a contract to "shareholders". But not any individual shareholder, even "the board" isn't accountable, because they "represent" the "millions of shareholders". So no, it wasn't their idea. And you can't hold millions of people responsible. So no, there is no such thing as holding a corporation responsible.

They said the app was innovative, it was not to me because I already had something similar, and what you're describing has nothing to do with the app. You're just describing a not terrible taxi company, which has existed in many places far before Uber.

It seems the main thing they did was be big enough to ignore the rules that kept taxis in some parts of the US so terrible.

FAA Certifies Google's Wing Drone Delivery Company to Operate as Airline
Hey, thanks for replying. Just sticking your head over the parapet is pretty brave.

I have a contra story. One of no delivery issues to Gmail or Hotmail, none, zero, nada. I've run a private email server (friends/family/small business/private mailing lists) for two decades. It's kept pace with every possible factor for reliable delivery - SPF/DKIM/DMARC/ARC, valid client SSL, IPv6, correct PTRs, DNSSEC etc and have no sketchy affiliates. In that time the IPv4 address changed exactly once and has never been RBL'd. Our mail gets delivered AOK.

And yet, even though I think my compliance level is good, I still feel like the blind man groping an elephant. I'm hoping I'm perceiving things correctly; I have no idea if I'm missing something. It helps that I'm an old-school ISP engineering inmate and contributor to well-known MTAs and MDAs, but few folks are lucky enough to have exposure to so SMTP radiation.

My take on the Postmaster Tools is that they've been created entirely to serve Google's purposes, and thereby serve no-one well because (as you point out) it's ecosystem engagement that makes a difference. If you sincerely have an incentive to improve, there is an awful lot of work to do there. It's okay to push the burden of compliance back to the sender, but the Postmaster tools offer only the most rudimentary levers to pull and provide almost no useful information, particularly for smaller/indy senders.

The message that comes through is that Google only really gives a shit about other large scale entities and struggles to see other points of view. This stands in quite stark contrast to Google's effort level over HTTP certificates and webmaster tools.
So it's your "experience" is that you are simply "special" (based on a wishful thinking) or is there anything else? I don't think so, as you yourself write it's just your own belief: "mostly a negative position in the sense that I don't believe matter, as described by the laws of physics, can give a coherent explanation of the phenomenon of consciousness."

My belief is that you even don't want to understand it.

There are no "laws of physics" that have to be changed to make a computer that is as complex as a person's brain: it's just that our technology is inefficient: one human's brain has some 100 billion neurons, we have had a significant effort to simulate around 100 million times less:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenWorm

The organic cells are simply extremely efficient in the tasks they are doing, compared to our technology.

But even that small order of magnitude of cells are enough to evolve a basic "self awareness": it's simply an evolutionary advantage for multicellular life forms not to treat their own parts of the body the same as the competition and the rest of the environment. Basically a need to treat distinctively "myself" "food" "a potential sex partner" and an "enemy" is built in in the complex life forms that move (i.e. all kinds of animals).

That "special feeling" of you "being special" that you are aware of is something that you share with most of the complex life, and it is not a surprise in any way.

Let's say you want to build a house. If you know what you're doing, you could put together the plans, get the approvals, order the materials, and hire various contractors to get the work done (masons, carpenters, electricians, etc)

In that case, you are acting as your own general contractor. If you don't have the skill to do all of that, you can hire a general contractor to do those things for you. In that case, you are approving timeframes, designs, materials, and money. All this is based on what the GC is saying. You are working at a higher level, and paying for their expertise.

However, you have to also determine if what the GC is saying is realistic, as well as if what you are asking is realistic.

If the GC says they can build the 2000 square foot house for $20K, they are not being realistic. If you require that all windows be bullet proof and cost the same as normal glazing, you are not being realistic.

Either way, you're ultimately responsible, just like the state of CA is for building this rail line.

The short of it is, unless you know what you are doing, don't get involved in building a house. Buy one that is already built and get a good inspection.
We know this must be a statistical artefact because of the way cancer arises in humans when they are exposed to a carcinogens. Take tobacco smoke for example, it does not cause just one type of cancer to rise in frequency (say lung cancer), but a whole range of cancers [0]. You just can’t expose people to a general carcinogen like “pollution” and end up with one kind of rare cancer. Cancer just doesn’t work this way.

I've not said they don't have value, what I've said was the app wasn't innovative. To me it cannot be because something almost identical existed before, and it isn't a huge shift from telling someone where I am.

If the innovation is being a non-terrible taxi firm, then I think I stand by my point that it's because they were big enough to ignore the local rules
