I use a methodology called S25R [1] that involves regex filters in postfix. Super simple, no third party anything for those regex patterns. I reject the spammers and use iptables for the really bad spammer networks. In terms of external third party resources, I also use spamcop and uceprotect in postfix to do RBL checking.

Because FedEx knows that Amazon is planning on being a competitor to them.

Amazon Delivery (or some name similar to that) will eventually handle warehousing, fulfillment, transshipment, drop shipping, and last-mile delivery. Delivery is such a large expense to Amazon, it only stands to reason.

UPS presumably believes that they can compete with that. Maybe they can. Or, possibly, they believe that they will be purchased by Amazon in the future.
>A chicken has the awareness of a bug.

You must know some smart bugs. Birds tend to be surprisingly bright for their brain capacity.

"Research has shown that chickens have some sense of numbers. Experiments with newly hatched domestic chicks showed they can discriminate between quantities. They also have an idea about ordinality, which refers to the ability to place quantities in a series. Five-day-old domestic chicks presented with two sets of objects of different quantities disappearing behind two screens were able to successfully track which one hid the larger number by apparently performing simple arithmetic in the form of addition and subtraction.

Chickens are also able to remember the trajectory of a hidden ball for up to 180 seconds if they see the ball moving and up to one minute if the displacement of the ball is invisible to them. Their performance is similar to that of most primates under similar conditions.

The birds possess self-control when it comes to holding out for a better food reward. They are able to self-assess their position in the pecking order. These two characteristics are indicative of self-awareness.

Chicken communication is also quite complex, and consists of a large repertoire of different visual displays and at least 24 distinct vocalizations. The birds possess the complex ability of referential communication, which involves signals such as calls, displays and whistles to convey information. They may use this to sound the alarm when there is danger, for instance. This ability requires some level of self-awareness and being able to take the perspective of another animal, and is also possessed by highly intelligent and social species, including primates.

Chickens perceive time intervals and can anticipate future events. Like many other animals, they demonstrate their cognitive complexity when placed in social situations requiring them to solve problems.

The birds are able to experience a range of complex negative and positive emotions, including fear, anticipation and anxiety. They make decisions based on what is best for them. They also possess a simple form of empathy called emotional contagion. Not only do individual chickens have distinct personalities, but mother hens also show a range of individual maternal personality traits which appear to affect the behavior of their chicks. The birds can deceive one another, and they watch and learn from each other."

Solar and wind are more than 3-4% already. Where are you getting your projections?
What could be more express than prime same day or next day?

I guess you could say they are focused on retail express, where you can charge a poor schmuck an arm and a leg to deliver something overnight, instead of getting paid peanuts for Amazon, but for some reason I don't think that strategy is viable long term.
Obviously you've never been outside your country if you've never seen pleasant and reliable public transit. Even as an American, I've seen plenty of pleasant and reliable public transit, though it's usually outside my country.

There aren’t enough qualified candidates because they literally are not interested in hiring people that can think for themselves rather than blindly follow orders and protocol. I know how petty this statement sounds, and you’re probably thinking “ok there, someone has an axe to grind or needs to learn some nuance,” but read this news article about what (legally!) disqualifies a candidate from being hired as an officer:

The follow-up feature is critical to why that 2nd study might have found different results. The delay-review step is very important for cementing learning. So no, its not all bs when different protocols have seemingly opposite results. Its not some simple question that can be answered glibly in one sentence.
I agree with you but that's none of my point.

My point is just that you have to weight the cost: it provided tremendous value through the system of journals, while not really giving a "real" drawback since everyone in research who has ever wanted to get a given paper in the past 5 decades has been able to find it despite the locking by trying hard enough to bypass it.

i don't even understand the downvotes: i don't agree with the system and Elsevier can die but my point is just that they never were a really tangible "problem". Mostly a "1rst world problem".
There's a one thing about this that don't add up for me: the argument is that AWS should separate from AMZN because AMZN is damaging AWS's brand. But the example of WashPo is great! WashPo isn't owned by AMZN. It's owned by Jeff. Amazon still gets it in the neck because of WashPo. If you spun off AWS that wouldn't change - not unless you seriously expect Jeff Bezos to spin off AWS and then sell off his interest in AWS - the most successful part of his business empire.
No, more the kind of people who think there should be a "coding license", guilds, or similar. There may be a place for certifications individually but universality is folly. I meant professionalization in the sense of trying to erect barricades.

As for code quality it is depends upon the domain, scale, and situation. Some things are objectively bad but even bad may be complex. Hard tested COBOL legacy code that was old when the current veterans started may be hard to comprehend, close to immutable but utterly reliable for instance.
Actually, the language in the KJV was already out of date at the time in was written. The lofty archaisms were intentional.

Even if you don't normally read daily, you probably know the meaning of most verses. Most Christians know the creation myth by heart, and are pretty familiar with the sermon on the mount and the passion stories, so they can probably pick up a lot of vocabulary from context.
>Crime gets reported, police investigate, criminal gets arrested, community improves from having a violent psychopath off the streets. It's a simple formula, everybody's happy

Wrong, even in simple assault cases it's possible for the victim to be charged with the assault if the person committing assault goes to the court house first and files charges. This blocks the ability of the victim to file charges and allows police to pursue them as the criminal.
It always felt weird to me that most of the rationale for policing drug use is based on preventing the crimes a user might commit while on drugs, rather than just the prosecuting the crimes they actually do commit while on drugs.

"You can't do heroin because you'll get addicted and might steal in order to fuel your addiction."
"But I haven't actually stolen anything yet, so what crime has been committed?"

Are there any other cases of a victim-less activity where we preemptively arrest/prosecute people because that activity might lead to crime someday?

The affinity isn't surprising, given that UPS seems to be transitioning into another one of those "rando in a car" delivery companies.

I used to be partial to UPS - there was a time when I would jokingly refer to the 10:30 overnight delivery as my "alarm clock". After two separate bad experiences on one day (one overnight, one ground), that preference is gone.

That bad experience with overnight was entirely due to their new busted-ass call center where after arguing with a voice-response robot you get to argue with an outsourced human-robot who's only ability is to tell you everything they can't do. The local terminal called me back and took care of the problem, but that level of service won't persist behind a hostile front-line phone system.

The ground package was marked as delivered while actually being held over the weekend, presumably so the driver could meet some kind of metric - the same thing Lasership et al are known for.

It still amazes me how eager companies are to hollow out their core competency.
Rule of thumb: a healthy company should still be profitable after losing their largest customer.

If it isn't, then the customer has way too much leverage.
So lets look at de risking the company offering.

If the company is derisked from the product side (even tough there is ton of work left) than you are like any other employee . If, on the other hand, you have some sort of a proprietary knowledge that is still needed for de risking to occur, than you have leverage.

When I read between the lines, I see that the CTO already derisked the product in the two years prior, and its looks like the CEO is derisking from the market side (i.e. have traction).
While most city-dwellers can get free range meat easily, it can be near impossible in the country without driving long distances.
By conversion rates, do you mean clicks or sales? The CTR industry (and by that I mean people who "optimize" landing pages and ads) count clicks- but as the person paying for it I count sales and don't care about clicks.
> If saving money causes more bills to appear

Sigh. I'm not sure if this is a comprehension issue or if you're deliberately misrepresenting what I'm saying.

Saving doesn't cause bills to appear. The bills are already there. They've likely been piling up for years, and continue to do so.

If you're $20k in debt, and it keeps growing, and every time you've tried to save up a few dollars to pay it down you've had to spend the couple bucks you managed to accrue on yet another critical bill you can't put off any longer, it starts to feel pointless to save.

> you suggest the solutions seems to be to give the poor less money

What?

I laid out specific, systemic interventions that are necessary, none of which require giving the poor less money.
This has been true for a few weeks in many Amazon regions. Even as a prime customer, my one day shipping options, which were previously handled by FedEx, are completely gone. Best case shipping is now USPS two-day here.

I'd bet the tradition isn't the same in Catholicism (which I have no experience with.) Protestantism is largely an outgrowth of insisting that the Bible be distributed, and in a language that the locals could understand. The Roman churches expected you to be dependent on the priest's communications of what the Bible said.

If some alien offers me this deal, I would rather not make a deal at all. I will fight and they have to kill me. But I will die knowing that I was free.

There is some chance that I will accept the deal, just to buy more time and find weaknesses in the aliens. Anyway, I would prefer to die free on my own, and I would prefer that my family gets to take my body and cremate it, or give it to earthly elements.

Interesting. In my city it's UPS that I found to be unreliable, most often by marking things as "undeliverable" without actually bothering trying to deliver them.

At one point I actually got an email notice that they just tried to deliver a package and nobody was home despite the fact that I had literally been reading a book on the front porch for the past 3 hours. Nobody came by.
> you probably shouldn't be criticising my country (which is quite rude)

You're the one criticizing your country, not me. You're the one who said public transit there sucks, not me. I've never been there, so I can't comment on the Underground, but I've been to Germany and Japan and the public transit there is absolutely fantastic. It's not even that bad here in DC, though the reliability isn't that great.

>ignoring the point I was making about public transport being quite unpleasant experience in general and why people quite rightly want to avoid it.

No, I'm not ignoring your point at all, I'm calling it out as ignorant, which it is, because there's plenty of other places in the world with excellent public transit.
Re: alcohol - in my experience, it depends. For the first year or two of learning German, a beer or glass of wine helped me relax and speak more effortlessly, as suggested. But now, as a fluent speaker -- I've passed a C2 exam, i.e. "mastery" on the CEFR scale, with a good score -- I definitely notice that any amount of alcohol hurts more than it helps. In the same way that any amount of alcohol makes my English worse: I have trouble with recall of even basic words.

Considering now that many 8chan users have moved to ZeroNet and Tor based sites, what would shuttering such things mean? I worry that it sets an extremely dangerous precedent, I don't want a Chinese-style great firewall, blocking all peer to peer and anonymization services just to keep out some channers, the vast majority of whom are relatively harmless.

I think attacking this from the access to guns angle seems far preferable than access to information.

I’m not one of the down voters, but it’s likely because adding that word doesn’t really add anything - foreign can mean that something is strange or unfamiliar.
So if I have this straight in St Louis when the people are protesting against police brutality, the polices solution is to be more brutal? No kidding it’s an arms race.

I’ll even bet they are using kettling to invoke a reaction from protestors. They aren’t passively responding to protestors, they are active antagonizing the public to justify their brutality.
>police got tanks and other military equipment from out of state and then never let go of them

You can argue that all day long, but the fact of the matter is that there is limited time and a bill that has zero chance of passage is wasting everyone's time and not getting the actual business of congress done.

That's how both parties have done business for decades, it's not a new thing from McConnell. Most of GW's nominees were never brought to a hearing or vote by a Democratic senate. The senate can bring any bill or nominee to the floor if they have enough support -- the majority leader can't keep anything from a vote if it has enough support to pass.

That's a somewhat misleading way to characterize this: VoIP apps are still going to be just fine using the VoIP API. The question is whether legacy code should preclude Apple taking steps to act on their users' behalf. Given the number of people I know who uninstalled Messenger so their phone could make it through the workday without a charge, I'm pretty sure most people will shed no tears for someone at Facebook having to do the job they are very well paid to do.
This requires colluding with a miner, since nodes will reject a transaction that spends the same output as a transaction they've already seen.

A large majority of all software could be called "dull line-of-business apps" and statistically this is what most software developers do. These jobs are stable, safe, and pay a good salary. It's awfully elitist to frame this as a bad job.

You’re making an assumption here that the system is capable of continuing to travel safely. Obviously being safe at home is better than being stopped on the side of the road, but that’s not the choice you’re actually faced with. Similarly, a system that can operate safely in adverse conditions is obviously better than one that can’t.

The small numbers of African-origin minorities in Scandinavian countries commit more crime per capita than those in the United States. (The same is also true internally within the Unites States when differentiating between northern and southern states).
