> "Their network; their rules".

No, it's not their network. It's our common network. If anybody imposes own rules on their part of the network, we are losing interoperability. Internet loses any sense.

He apparently thinks that he (or maybe more accurately "we") should dictate how private companies treat traffic. Despite it's huge footprint, Google does not have a monopoly on email, if they are treating users unfairly, they can switch -- but I use Gmail because their spam filtering is so good. And I'm ok with dropping a few legit emails if it means not seeing spam in my mailbox.
Why not Python? Syntax is much cleaner and there’s nothing you can’t achieve. Even performance is on par.
It’s been a while since google made anything awesome hasn’t it? Maps is still great, but things like AMPs are so terrible that they were a bigger part in driving me to DDG than privacy.

Maybe I’m weird, but I’ve never been in an AMP where I wouldn’t rather go to the actual side and use reader mode.
Gonna second whoever said: Use DKIM.

I actually check Spam daily now, after finding support emails whose logs got snagged in the dragnet & personal stuff — even email from my Dad got shunted to Spam.

I still tip the hat, though, to Google, whose algorithms are wise enough to assiduously stow both the “jump on a call” and “donate to my campaign” emails to spam.
Perfectly right that standard deviations are not the same es errors! Compared to the average effect size, though, in this case they clearly show there's a very high variation in the observed results.

The 4h is really unusually high compared to real-life reading in bed. But compared to the other studies its still quite low! One of the other studies had a whopping 6.5h hours of "bedtime reading".
In testing different mail servers I find that Gmail will treat them differently based upon there hello line. I can't remember which one was accepted most but there is a difference. Also you need to look into if others on your netblock are sending spam. If you are on the same netblock as a spammer then gmail will treat you as if you are the spammer.

This site is very useful if you have your own mail server

It's more basic than that. Businesses can't operate if they run out of money.
Spain is not very religious.Even what look like religious manifestations from afar, are simply rooted in traditions/seen as culture. Very different from Italy, as far as I know.

For comparison, although I am not sure how well these reflect reality:

EDIT: I see others also replied in a similar vein.
This guy has an odd (seemingly nonsensical) quote in his email signature.

To a machine learning algorithm, it might look kind of like the random nonsense some spammers put in spam to corrupt Bayesian filters. He might want to try temporarily taking out that signature if he’s using that as part of his emails.
Is your goal to become a department head? Don't join a startup... three things need to go right. They grow so they need department heads, they don't need you to develop anymore and see you as the best person for the role.

Start a side business because you can slowdown at work.

Chances are a startup never grows to need a dept head. The goal is usually to stay under 20 and keep everything flat until someone buys them.

You have startups who get series financing and they grow quickly over two years and hopefully ipo. But those are not 50 year old businesses.
Later in the thread he mentions that he's tried with and without the sig.
If the herds might have been in the valley and don't happen to be, you learn something. Your odds rise from 1/3 to 1/2. If the scouts know where the herds are and specifically checked the valley because the herds weren't there, you learn more - your odds rise to 2/3. But not as much as if they just told you where the herds are, so we're back to it being an unlikely scenario.
> Google does not have a monopoly on email

53% of email accounts in the US are with Gmail.

What's the definition of a monopoly?
Just to be clear, the oldest texts unambiguously condemns male-on-male sex under penalty of death:

"If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads."

(NIV translation https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Leviticus+20%3A...)

The translation just doesn't use the specific word "homosexuality" which would be misleading and anachronistic anyway. The modern idea about homosexuality is about being attracted to persons of the same sex. Leviticus doesn't concern itself about any of that, it condemns the specific act of two men having sex.

You can argue that the Bible doesn't condemn sex between women though.
You have to be careful with the truth table method. It's easy to get it wrong, as your events might not have equal probability.

For example, we'll label the three doors P, L, R, for the prize door, the leftmost goat door and the rightmost goat door. This gives possibilities

1. You choose P, Monty chooses L - switching loses

2. You choose P, Monty chooses R - switching loses

3. You choose L, Monty chooses R - switching wins

4. You choose R, Monty chooses L - switching wins

This seems to indicate that switching gives you a 50/50 likelihood of winning. In fact, this is the correct truth table to use if Monty doesn't know which door has the prize. In that case, these are all equally likely.

Instead, if he does know where the prize is and won't open that door, this truth table is misleading because the cases where switching loses are less likely. If you choose L, he'll definitely choose R, but if you choose P, he has two options to split the probability.

Similarly, if you model Monty as not knowing what's behind the doors, then the truth table you're thinking of doesn't work. Either way, the truth table on its own isn't convincing.

The thing I find more clear is using Bayes' rule, as it shows exactly how the model of Monty's behavior affects the probability that switching is beneficial.

Let H be the event that your door has a prize and G be the event that Monty shows you a goat door. Then P(H|G) = P(G|H) * P(H) / P(G). Obviously, P(H) = 1/3 and (assuming Monty must pick a door other than yours) P(G|H) = 1, so it just comes down to what P(G) is.

If he always shows a goat, then P(G) 1 and you should switch. If he doesn't know what's behind the doors, it's 2/3 and it doesn't matter whether you switch. If he knows but prefers to spoil the prize, it's 1/3 and you definitely have the prize door.

For some reason, Google also marks "Google Alerts" notifications as spam. They contain spammy search results, but the email comes from Google.
At least they are consequent in not white-listing their own services :)
What about stop being so entitled? Google is offering free awesome services for very little and you’re saying these things. It’s so demoralizing. Get off your high horse.

I don't use gmail these days (except as a honeypot out of laziness), but I get plenty of email from google hosted domains. The issue isn't (just) that people want to use these services and want Google to have more reasonable policies, there is also the issue of having to tolerate Google's policies because other people use their services.

Emails from Google servers are notable to me because there is no way to report spam (and the signal to noise ratio from Google is pretty low for my case). Google's opaque approach to email means that deliverability issues become even more tedious to deal with than they should be.
This reminds me of a time in the nineties I was at USENIX LISA conference and got into an elevator with a gentleman with a badge that read "Eric Allman". I (barely) restrained myself from exclaiming "You are Eric Allman!"

LISA is in Portland next week, by the way: https://www.usenix.org/conference/lisa19

good catch. In my limited experience, complicated signatures (e.g. hotlinked images), or emails with few words and several links are most likely by gmail to be filtered as spam.

"We have the numbers to prove it. We did science, you didn't. You are just a grumpy old power-user disrespecting the needs of the weak".

Well put. What's the counterargument? There has to be a way to solve this problem.
The ratio of doctors/nurses to patients in 3rd world countries is 1:300. 1 doctor for every 300 patients. In the united states the ratio is higher than 1:1000. Real healthcare reform would address this issue. Obamacare, Medicare for all and other proposed legislation do absolutely nothing to fix these problems, one reason why they're doomed to failure from the onset.
I completely agree with this.
As a blind screen reader user, Electron apps are 90% inaccessible to me and other screen reader users.
Screen readers (on any platform) interact with the underlying libraries/ frameworks.
Every operating system supports its own native toolkit.
It's a shame that Java's SWT framework fell out of favor for cross-platform software. That is quite accessible.
Unfortunately, blind screen reader users are overlooked when it comes to these types of underlying frameworks.
The environment will sort itself out, just not always in our favour.

If you're really curious setup DMARC as well and check out the reports. I used to work for a company that did DMARC analytics, and after setting it up for my personal domain it's kind of interesting to see who's trying to impersonate you (or who's getting spam purportedly from you).
Wouldnt those be different parse trees? Like the "with X" could either be attached either to the verb or the noun
"You may stop me, but you can't stop us all."

Still correct.

1) and 2) are essentially irrelevant, because the fundamental limiting factor on both agriculture and sustainable energy generation is surface area. Plants are effectively photochemical solar arrays that turn light and CO2 into food energy; nobody would be crazy enough to propose a "vertical solar farm" where LEDs are used to illuminate photovoltaic panels, but vertical farms are exactly as bonkers.

I'm aware of all that. People still overdose on opium frequently. Users that are more tolerant to the opioid nausea will not vomit as readily when ODing. The emetic effect is not as strong or as universal as you seem to think it is.

The final exchange between OP and someone who works in detecting spam:

This is where HN discussion should pick up, not at the beginning where we need to rehash everything.
My memory may be flawed here but I vaguely remember there being a minor controversy over SSH being awarded port 22 instead of a competing protocol/program called “stelnet”. It was a similar solution to SSH but only “replaced” telnet, not FTP. Back then there were “strong feelings about” rsh versus telnet, with SSH actually being modeled more after rsh/rcp/rlogin. Anyway at best this is probably just more internet protocol trivia but I do wonder if anybody can confirm I am remembering this right?
> Rarely the big perf hit is in js. The big perf hit is usually layout, composite and paint cycles. You can’t interrupt the browsers native paint cycle.

Yes, so that's why DOM manipulation is slow. And this change basically allows you to not do DOM manipulation on every tick.

> The browsers gonna do what the browsers gonna do.

The browsers gonna do what the JS code tells what the browsers should do.

> React was simple.

And that was insufficient.

> I don’t get it anymore.

Then you should be looking at hypersrcipt or preact or something else. Nobody is forcing React to you.
I remember when Gmail was new. You got an e-mail that said "hey, we think you are sending spam, please do this". I replied and said that I always send from this domain, so if they think I'm spamming, just block the domain, then they white-listed it instead.
I always see DMARC as a solution in these kind of threads, but the problem is that it's trivial for spammers to also setup DMARC. In fact almost 100% of the spam I receive follow the e-mail guidelines better then most legitimate e-mails.

We need a new protocol! Where e-mails are opt-in, like with messaging apps, you first need to be introduced.
I agree that unsustainable and user-hostile growth is a problem caused by overzealous VC investments.

However, I don't see the direct connection between adding telemetry to drive product decisions (e.g. improving conversion flows, prioritizing features/bugs) and pressure from investors. I think it was just bad communication and hubris on GitLab's part.

It's easy to avoid tracking users when you've got a 20-feature SaaS with a few thousand users. Trying to manage a product with millions of users, thousands of features and open bugs/feature requests is another ballgame and I think telemetry is fine as long as it's first-party (or opt-in), anonymized and explained properly (see Mozilla).
I remember when one of my professors told me how AVL trees were invented by mathematicians in the Soviet Union. It was in a paper titled “An algorithm for organizing information”. It was a side project for them, and it’s humbling to hear how simple the idea was to geniuses.
I keep using my own email server to host my emails but had to switch to fastmail for smtp since it was untenable otherwise...

It's sad that it's no longer viable to have your own email server
What about stop being so entitled? Google is offering free awesome services for very little and you’re saying these things.

It seems you're not getting the point. The problem is not for users of those "awesome" Google services the problem manifests itself for people sending legitimate emails from legitimate email accounts to a Google account.

Google tags those as spam and refuses to deliver them, while always shifting the goal posts and providing sub par support (an number of essentially useless links) to the sender of the email to a Google account.

This happens, btw, also when the sender account never spammed and sent legitimate mails to the Gmail user for years.

So your snarky comment is completely out of line here.

It's not about people mooching free "awesome" Google services for free it's that Google is a rotten net citizen and is behaving like shit to the entire world.
Yeah that’s kind of unfortunate. Unintentional. I think one of us will have to rename.

By how does that swap changes your chances? (numerically, that is it goes from 1/100,000,000 to...?)
Honestly not sure, but certainly sometime in the 20th century. It was my main e-mail back then, I migrated to Yahoo! shortly after the Microsoft buyout and kept the HoTMaiL as a throwaway. When Google announced Gmail and the 1GB (with projection to infinite) storage I switched to them as soon as I got an invite, but when they changed their slogan from "Don't be evil" to "Do the right thing" with the Alphabet restructure I ditched it and moved to my own domain with Fastmail. If Fastmail starts to show signs of evil it will be as easy as updating my domain records to point toward OurMailIsActuallyGoodIPromiseThisTime.com and click through the certificate warnings on my mail clients.
Could you post examples?

In my opinion free email services either belong to other big corporations or provide lower quality service than gmail.

Few bucks a month add up and can be considered expensive by many.

I don’t like google and I pay for a different email account. I just wanted to remind that gmail may be hard to quit and that costs are subjective.
And that was already the minimum more than 5 years ago.
Again, could you be more specific? Most of my friends have quite complicated hobby projects, from welding to metalworking arts, carpentry, fixing furniture, making music, sailing (consequently fixing boats) and the list goes on.

Without specifics it's quite hard to judge what you are comparing against.
The point is that given that the door Monty opened had a goat behind it your probability of winning would then be 1/2.
As the page mentions, we actually do move to the Skeleton state (which you’re describing) as soon as it’s possible.

We’re only delaying the transition for as long as we have nothing good to show at all. When we have a decent loading state, we immediately transition to it.

I do recommend you to play with it more in a tiny project.
UN plan to address climate change: $299.9 billion goes to china to fuel their global expansion, with the USA footing 85% of the bill. $50 million to buy seeds. $50 million to plant them.

Climate change would cost less than $100 million to fix if scientists were serious about it. Everything else is special interests.
That "constant state of flux" is what makes your body into a prison that you have to inhabit the rest of your life. Every single trans person I've met desperately wishes that they had transitioned earlier. I transitioned relatively early, and I'm still intensely jealous of trans teens who are getting proper treatment today. My older friends who've transitioned in their late 20s-40s regard their lives as being hopelessly ruined. And some of them repressed their trans feeling for a while, only to have them come back later with vengeance. But you never hear about those people in these arguments.

My mom said something similar about "curiosity" to try and convince me that I couldn't be trans. As it turns out, what she meant was "when I was your age, I wanted to cut my hair short." Likewise, pretty much every story I've heard like this turns out to be either obvious lies meant to discredit trans people, or something that would have been easily sorted out by a psychologist. Eg. I've heard of gay people wishing they were another gender so that they wouldn't get bullied for their orientation. No decent professional would mistake that for genuine dysphoria.

But even supposing that your psychologist was incompetent, you still would have socially transitioned in some capacity before you ever started hormones. This almost certainly would have let you know if transitioning was really right for you. And even if it didn't, and you went all the way to starting estrogen, you could always stop if you didn't like what it was doing. Estrogen works very slowly. I've been on it for three years, and I know cis men whose boobs are bigger than mine. If I changed my mind, I could easily start living as a man again.

It's absolutely unfair to impose life-ruining misery on trans teens because of the off-chance that it might do a fraction of the same harm to a cis person.
Email is not the same it has been for years/decades. These days you need to use all the security tools available, most notably TLS and DKIM, set a strict DMARC policy, and don't do anything unexpected such as sending lots of emails out of the blue.

Email is all about reputation: it can take a lot of effort to build trust, but just one bad move and it's all gone.
A good demonstration that context (and cultural conditioning) is everything to understand what a text actually means.
Indeed there is little point to care about a choice when the trust for them to uphold that preference doesn't exist anymore.
The benchmark is useful primarily because it puts humans and computers on a level playing field. Human readers will misinterpret written language, and human writers will poorly represent concepts.

The propensity to make mistakes in comprehension is unavoidable, humans only approach 90% accuracy, and computers are getting close to the same level of accuracy on the same base materials as humans.

The other way of testing would be to devise a test where there is only a single interpretation, where the context is clear, and there is no ambiguity in meaning. In that case a competent human and computer algorithm could be expected to answer all questions perfectly.

The purpose of this benchmark on the other hand is to test comprehension when meaning is not explicit and context clues are implied, something humans have had the advantage at over computers until quite recently. The computer won't be 100% accurate, but that's not the purpose of this test.
I have the same problem with my email server. I have valid and properly configured DKIM, SPF and PRT, so I don't know what else I'm expected to do...?

Fentanyl is more like 100x the potency of morphine. And while it's true that morphine is the strongest opiate directly present in opium, codeine is converted into morphine by cytochrome P450 in the liver, increasing the effective morphine dose. Here's some citations:

The swap doesn’t change your chances, it’s the host opening one of two other doors that changes your chances. Because the host can open one of two other doors, there are two configurations in which swapping will result in a win but one where not swapping will win.
Is that a rhetorical question or you really don't know?

Definition of monopoly:

1 : exclusive ownership through legal privilege, command of supply, or concerted action

2 : exclusive possession or control

3 : a commodity controlled by one party

4 : one that has a monopoly

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/monopoly
The swap is the same as picking all the doors you didn't pick at first. The probability of winning when swapping is the complement of the probability of you winning on your initial pick. There is no third outcome.
I've been using Fastmail for about 5 or 6 years now. My only problem is the 1GB mailbox size limit I have. Maybe I should upgrade. Otherwise I love it. Their webmail client is phenomenal and works with mobile and desktop. I don't like their Android app but I haven't tried it in a year. Their web client is so good I don't need an app for them.

I do see mail going to spam though. It's never bugged me that much.
Solo? How deep? I miss the sport.
Goog luck with that, Gmail is free.

We could probably start to divert all gmail and outlook originating mail to the spam folders on our mail servers in retaliation.
