Most of that question involves a level of detail I can't get into. But, we use the same batch of IP addresses for all our mailings. We have authentication set up with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, and we're very careful on our rate of delivery, and as above, we respond quickly to unsubscribes. As well as the occasional report of our mailings getting labeled as spam.

We also partner with a reputation monitor that makes sure we're behaving, and they also let us know if we're approaching thresholds of not email friendly behavior. The only time I've seen that happen was when we did some IP consolidation and certain mail handling companies automated systems found our behavior anomalous, and thus was flagged suspicious. Since we knew, and our monitor knew this would happen, it was handled, and everyone (us, monitor, mail domains, customers) was running back to normal behavior within about two weeks.

In the end, no blacklisting from this, and none while I've been here. We've had a fairly high inbox delivery rate (based on our rep monitor, about 3% higher than the average) over the years, and about the only thorn in my side is Comcast, and even our reputation monitor has "special" metrics to measure their customers in regards to Comcast. :)

I don't automate my job specifically (I'm a tech trainer, currently) but when I have optimized myself heavily using AutoHotKey. I spend most of my time these days between Slack and a bash prompt, and so I have created macros for myself. I lean on it pretty hard, and have cut down the amount of typing I do simply because I can now type "yyy" to get "Yup." and other silly optimizations that save me time and effort, mostly cumulatively. There are few big optimizations to be gained this way, but they add up. I also have entire phrases and paragraphs macro'd for the same reasons, as well as common typos. It doesn't sound like much but these things save me a lot of time.

The rest of the traffic is disruptive to the trams.

I also moved to Melbourne recently, and my theory is that the love of trams is inertia from a time where congestion wasn't so bad.

I prefer to walk within the city loop, but both activities would be so much faster and more pleasant without the cars.

There are quite a few Teslas that drive around here with wanky number plates like they're doing the world a favor, which in a city with such usable public transport always makes me cringe.
It's a tragedy of the commons. The best solution to such problems is regulation, which is often difficult to do well.

Fortunately, there isn't a law of the universe that says we can't get better at implementing effective and fair regulations where appropriate.

Israel has engaged it’s Arrow system to shoot down S200/300 missiles that were fired from Syria once they entered Israeli airspace.

https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/israel-syrian-missile-wa...

The Arrow system has sufficient range to provide coverage over Syria it’s an expensive way to deal with the S400 threat but it can be used to provide additional protection.

Israel seems to be quite adept at beating Russian SAMs Russia doesn’t have enough assets in the region to risk engaging with the S400 because Israel would definitely target them if they are used as anything more than a scarecrow.

And last time Israel went on a mission to clear Russian SAM sites in Syria it didn’t end up well for the SAM site operators.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Mole_Cricket_19

For the most part what Israel has been doing in Syria so far is a very limited engagement often not even from within Syrian airspace but rather using stand off munitions from Israeli or Lebanese airspace.

I’m pretty sure that Russia understands very well that other than a nuke on Tel Aviv they don’t have the logistics to have an engagement with Israel that does not end in total humiliation and the destruction of all Russian assets in the region.

At the end of the day if push comes to shove Israel can push 400 aircraft into Syria’s airspace and countless ground assets the numbers simply don’t favor Russia.

The Russian navy is also not in a shape to engage, other than their submarine fleet any naval assets they put in theater would be likely targeted and crippled if not destroyed this also includes their aircraft carrier.
Probably they assumed that most people don't have credit monitoring yet and only a few people would go for the $125 option.
> buses aren’t stuck on rails

What's the difference to you, as a passenger, between being stuck on a tram rail, and being stuck on a bus route? You can't ask a bus driver you take a de-tour from their route, can you?

> disruptive to the rest of the traffic

No the rest of the traffic is disruptive to the trams!
Indeed. I remembered some aspect of directionality, but couldn't remember how to present it in as compelling a way.

(Also, I don't really agree with some objective single value gradient for programming languages. As for anything with multiple dimensions of value, it's not sortable)
I feel like the best solution for this problem is a reduction of traffic in core city areas by restricting car access.
Of course it would, but what wouldn't work is bouncing that CO2 off of some sail.
Yes, but that merely limits the damage to a small degree. Fighters need vertical stabilizers because they require higher maneuverability than flying wings. And current aerospace design capabilities can't overcome it, though bendable (wing warping technology) wings might eventually.
I'll bite—I love the beyond burger. There's a burger joint near work that has them and they're now exclusively what I get when I go there
As someone who lives in Melbourne (and usually just uses a bicycle to commute), buses suck. They don't follow timetables, get noticeably slower during peak hours and get faster during school holidays. The reason people avoid using them is that they're unreliable. If I occasionally use the bus to get to/from work the trip can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 45.
Right, that question is pretty much asking you directly if you are poor (or stupid I guess).

What I'm curious about is how fast a solar sailing craft could go before the thrust of the photons is balanced out by the drag of the interplanetary medium. Five particles per cubic centimeter isn't much but I suspect it wouldn't be irrelevant for a square mile sail moving at 400km/s.

And, to be honest, while buses may not be stuck on rails, the process to change a bus route is almost never less than a few months and can take much longer.

It will always take less time to change a bus line than a train line - but this isn't a difference of hours vs. years, it's months vs. even more months.
The fact that people were already reading about electronics in magazines they bought with their own money shows that people would have known what computers were regardless. Those advertisements only worked because the audience was already interested in computers. Those computers also already existed and the notion that no one would have used a computer if an ad didn't tell them to is absurd. Computers exist because they're useful and fun and they were purchased by people who wanted computers and were willing to seek out products they wanted.
No, but they are more unique than the positions mentioned by OP.

Samuel Pepys is mentioned quite often in Bill Bryson's book titled At Home. I had just read this paragraph yesterday:

> By chance, a Cambridge scholar, the Reverend George Neville, a master of Magdalene College, saw Macpherson's passing reference to Pepys's diaries and grew intrigued to know what else might be in them. Pepys after all had lived through momentous times - through the restoration of the monarchy, the last great plague epidemic, the Great Fire of London of 1666 - so their content was bound to be of interest. He commissioned a clever but penurious student named John Smith to see if he could crack the code and transcribe the diaries. The work took Smith three years. The result of course was the most celebrated diary in the English language. Had Pepys not had that cup of tea, Macpherson not mentioned it in a dull history, Neville been less curious, and young Smith less intelligent and dogged, the name Samuel Pepys would mean nothing to anyone but naval historians, and a very considerable part of what we know about how people lived in the second half of the seventeenth century would in fact be unknown. So it was a good thing that he had that cup of tea.

I had someone ask:
"Can you give more examples of (link: https://attribute.pro/) attribute.pro and why someone would use it?"

My answer:

Client X is a SaaS. They have all marketing pages on "root.com"

Their signup flow is on "accounts.root.com"

Their actual SaaS app (which has Mixpanel installed) is on: "app.root.com"

Outline of Problem:

- You want to drive traffic to their homepage (root.com, root.com/case-studies...)

- You want to use UTM variables to track ad performance from Google Ads.

- You have to get those UTM variables down into "app.root.com" (and inside mixpanel)- so we know which people are attributed to which campaigns/sets/ads.

This tool is allowing me to do what I need: Attribute.pro - it allows me to drop a tag on "root.com", use UTM links, then re-call those UTM links from "app.root.com" (or any other domain)

How would you solve this problem?
We should. It looks like FTC isn't on our side.
In any case, I'm not going to trust any of these greedy doddering fools with my information. Their job ALREADY involves monitoring my credit.
Denali: Open-Source Themeable Design System
I don't think you'll find that progressive people outside of the US advocate open borders. Having a points based system which actually means you bring in people who'll have a job waiting for them is better for everyone involved. You also have humanitarian based immigration as well of course. The US is big enough that it can absorb people from all industries and backgrounds, but in smaller countries that's not the case. And it's wrong to bring in people if they end up being Uber drivers because there's not the jobs available for them and their expertise.

You also can't rely on charity and the community. Just look at people who crowd fund for operations, etc. that biases to people who are attractive, young, outgoing, etc. I don't want anything to do with a church based charity personally and I'd feel embarrassed begging for money, I would not want to rely on such a corrupt institution with their ulterior motives. It's much more practical to centralise the costs of looking after the poor, if you look at the US they pay more per person than pretty much any country on healthcare yet it's ineffective and expensive because of everyone clipping the ticket.

People also don't use misery to buy votes. Here in NZ even the most right wing party wouldn't dream of going to private healthcare. Different parties do have different priorities and because it's a proportionate system with multiple parties in government it's a better reflection on the will of the people. I think one of the biggest problems that you have is that you've got a pretty broken democracy where the majority don't get a say and even if they did you're restricted to two parties and their policies, there's no compromise or grey area it's an all or nothing approach.

I've spent quite a lot of time in graduate art training and I'd go further: this isn't about a high level of technical skill or performance, it's about personality. A composer is not a pianist writ large; a software engineer might be a coder working at a high level of abstraction. But an artist is someone who works with their whole personality, engaging with the craft of painting (in this case). To have a "whole personality" that is compelling is very rare, and it's not something that happens by stacking up skills. It might manifest through an appearance of highly analytic vision or graphic composition but it is not quantifiable in those terms. It has to do with wit.

I'm going to cheekily (not in a sexist way) link this to something said by the fashion photographer who discovered Melania Trump, because I think it is exactly the same ineffable quality that is under discussion:

'Jerko thought at first that Melania had a very good future in modeling but after two sessions, he lost enthusiasm.
“Her exterior was very good to be an excellent model, but she lacked energy, a certain charm that if you have, you transmit it through your eyes, through your personality. If you have something that, shall we say, comes from the heart, it shows in the photo,” the photographer said.'
I would happily switch from Comcast but when I check availability for where I live in Livermore, they only offer 50Mbps. Currently paying ~180/mo for Comcast gigabit and TV (and phone that I don't use). I would fork over quite a bit for symmetrical gigabit, very jealous!
The CAN bus in most cars does not require removing panels or equipment to get to a port. By design the OBD ports are generally easily accessible and usually expose the CAN network through the main computer. So not sure I agree with that conclusion.

I will agree that in some cars specific sub-systems can't be accessed through the standard OBD port and to get to those CAN connections it would require removing panels to get to the controller etc.

Emulsifiers are also being investigated for causing issues like that. I find them to be a more compelling explanation for rising rates of these issues.

> This is what the type system is for, the type system makes it so the computer will also know what can compose with what.

But the computer doesn't have to know that in order for you to be able to compose things. You can compose things without a type system (or more precisely: with a type system where the only actual type is a machine-width word). You just have to take care to make sure the result makes sense in your domain (which a type system helps automate for you).

That is: the type system is not the thing that lets you do composition. It's just the thing that lets you constrain what can be composed.

In the pseudo-Forth example, you take two arbitrary procedures that pop arguments and push results, and you get back an arbitrary procedure that pops arguments and pushes results. Your ONE and TWO are now a THREE. They're fully interchangeable components (remember my suggestion of that word?). Whether you should interchange them is another story entirely, but you can if you want to. That's composition.

> Remember way back when i defined composition as a universal function? Meaning that the compose function should be able to compose ANYTHING.

That's exactly what the previous OO example did, but you complained that being able to compose anything somehow doesn't count as composition because it's not restrictive enough. Now you're complaining that not being able to compose anything somehow doesn't count as composition.

Let's dig into what you might mean by that, though - specifically with your "arbitrary composition rule for addition". How would you go about implementing add(Store, Chicken) (or Store + Chicken)? What would that mean? What would your THREE actually be after adding your ONE and TWO?

The normal answer would be using a bit of that "mortar and rebar" to tell the computer how to add a Chicken to a Store to get some other type (a Popeyes, perhaps?), e.g. by defining methods to polymorphically perform that addition, but it seems like you ain't exactly satisfied by that answer. Unfortunately, the type system alone doesn't really help you much here; just because the computer knows what a Chicken and a Store and a Popeyes is doesn't mean it knows how to add a Chicken and a Store to get a Popeyes.

If you object to the "nonsensical" results of trying to add a Store to a Chicken, then you can't get around having to define specific implementations of that composition between a Store and a Chicken. Maybe you can cheat through it a bit by subclassing them from a common ancestor or having them both implement an interface and then add against that ancestor/interface, but that just punts the problem.
I'd guess the sail orientation is not changing relative to the sun, so at perigee this provides an acceleration (because it's mostly in the velocity direction), which raises apogee. At apogee it provides deceleration (because it's in the anti-velocity direction), which lowers perigee. There are also probably other effects depending on the sail orientation that muck with the inclination and other elements. It's a little different than drag which is always anti-velocity.

I have limited KSP experience and an aerospace degree, so I'd defer to someone with more KSP experience.

Some automotive manufacturers have gotten more sophisticated with their systems and prevent writing to safety critical systems or to protected areas on the board.

I am not a security researcher but have done plenty of embedded work and specifically wrote decoders for some vehicle systems. I definitely don't feel like an expert here, but I am not sure the conclusions are valid in relation to automotive, at least in my experience.
