I love the delusions here that spy craft is worth more than commerce.

China risks one of their largest companies, knowing they will eventually get caught, over one department in the US just puts out a statement they are 'spying' and everyone believes it without proof.

We don't actually live in a Hollywood movie.

"US officials said they have been aware of Huawei's backdoor access "since observing it in 2009 in early 4G equipment," the Journal wrote."

So the USA admits it's allowed all these counties, many allies, be spied on? Really? We are excepted to believe that?

I'm sure there's a technical 'thing' here. But whether they have fked up on the USA side or the Chine side we can only know from the US actually saying what this is. But then the US might lose it's 'Huawei is spying' attack on Chinese commerce.

It's a combination of factors but it's mostly evolution converging on very similar systems across the plant and animal kingdom. Most neurotransmitters are relatively simple molecules while the ion channels on neurons are relatively complex. They have a high surface are for all those neurotransmitter, inhibitor, regulator, etc. molecules to bind to and the entire system is extremely sensitive to small changes.

Take cannabis, for example: the endocannabinoid system in our central and peripheral nervous systems effects a variety of things (memory, sleep, appetite, etc.) but it's also useful to plants, which evolved the system roughly 500 million years ago, independently of animals.
Put a big car park outside the residential area, and provide a shuttle bus service to get there.
This is a good point but similar kinds of phenomena could lead to something more benign but equally problematic.

For example, let's say someone inherits (genetically or environmentally) etiologic factors for psychosis and blindness. It's possible that whatever these factors are, they are severe enough to have widespread enough effects that the person no longer receives a psychosis diagnosis, but instead some other diagnostic label that's more comprehensive in nature.

Schizophrenia is really just a label for a semi-heterogeneous set of pathologies that might be labeled something else. I'm not saying that these problems don't exist, just that how they are perceived and described might vary a bit from scenario to scenario (this is one of the main impetuses for DSM-III and later actually). So someone with one pathology might receive a diagnosis of schizophrenia, someone else, bipolar disorder, and yet someone else developmental disorder NEC/NOS.

It's entirely possible that if there is a negative correlation, it's because one reflects some preventative factors for the other, or something like that, but it's also possible that whatever causes the conjoint presence of the etiologies is catastrophic, leading to death, like you suggest, or the need for some entirely different label.
> The example with the promises, if I read it correctly, is basically using reduce as an alternative way to do a for loop.

> One of the easiest ways to tell that it’s a misuse of reduce is that the result is not being assigned to anything.

The example with Promises is using the accumulator, it's just referring to it as "sequence" to more accurately describe what it using the accumulator for (to "sequence" in serial a set of Promises).

While the final result from the accumulator isn't assigned to anything in snippet as shown, one would easily imagine it being used as a "finished loading all of the chapters" promise before some other action.

It would definitely be a better example if the side effect (`addHtmlToPage`) wasn't performed inside the promise callbacks but on the results, but it's still an alright example of promise composition.

Though reduce for promise composition isn't a great example today when most cases these days you'd just want to write it async/await and a traditional for loop, with the browser or your transpiler doing the composition work for you, leaving it a clearer to read sequence of events.
This is a similar problem to riding a fixed gear bike. When using skidding as a braking technique, specific areas of the tyre will wear faster unless you select a gear (front chainring and rear sprocket) combo with a large amount of skid patches. This is due to the rider always engaging in a skid with their crankset in a specific position - either left or right foot at 90 degrees, and the other at 270 degrees.

Here's a fun calculator for it: https://www.surplace.fr/ffgc/

Notice that a very common gear combo, 44/16 only gives 4 skid patches, so if you're after longer lasting tyres avoid this setup.

> Does my data fit in RAM?

1. If you have to ask, then either it doesn't now, or it doesn't sometimes. So assume it doesn't.

2. If you can use a cluster, then maybe.

3. In some senses, it doesn't matter. How so? Reading and writing from RAM is very slow, latency-wise, for today's processors. If I can bend the truth a little, it's a bit like a fast SSD. So, if you can up the bandwidth to disk enough, it becomes kind of comparable. Well, if you can use 16 PCIe 4.0 lanes, it's roughly 24 GB/sec effective bandwidth, which is roughly half of your memory bandwidth. Now it's true that in real-life systems it's usually just 4 lanes, but it's very doable to change that with a nice card.

4. DIMM-form-factor non-volatile memory may increase memory sizes much more.

Not sure why you said “no”, because the whole of your remaining comment simply reinforced that reputation matters, including reputation by association.

Association extends to sharing an IP allocation. It may even extend to sharing a nameserver. Gmail isn’t randomly targeting a “little guy” for the Internet Death Penalty. This isn’t arbitrary, and an entitled victim mindset isn’t going to get your email delivered.

Like I said, prefer IPv6. For now at least, bad senders don’t choose it. That’s the something you can do about it. Pro tip: most VPS services are a swamp.

Incidentally, if your server was rooted, don’t assume that this would show up in the mail logs. There are plenty other ways to use a compromised host as an open relay, including lying to your admin tools.

Ultimately, I think that if you’re unwilling or unable to run a MTA to the maximum level of reputation, then skip doing so, and use Postmark instead.

> expecting prices to stay fixed for for the same goods goods is not reasonable.

It's actually highly reasonable for items with nearly zero marginal cost. In fact, most things in the tech world only get cheaper in nominal value as time progresses, barring peculiar circumstances.

> Over the past decade all registrars have had to add significant security measures to combat rising domain theft scams among other features added.

This is correct. Verisign is not a registrar. While some of the problems do end up on Verisign's plate, almost all of the pain of dealing with fraud, domain transfer scams, etc, falls on the shoulders of the registrars, who get a pitiful cut of the domain registration fee compared to Verisign.

> And your assumption that no new services will be added is likely untrue.

Given the fact that Verisign already sees over $1 billion of annual gross profit, I highly doubt that doubling their revenue will see much in terms of new services that wouldn't have been developed anyway at their current trajectory. An operating cost of $200 million for $1 billion gross profit is already insanely profitable. Cranking it up like this is just an obvious cash grab for the shareholders.

The recent usage of "mental model" is. The fact that the term had a more useful meaning before makes its buzzwordification all the more irritating. Before a mental model was just a way you thought of something. Now they're Named Things to be shoehorned all over the place. Imagine if "design pattern" had been a casually but widely used term before Design Patterns came out (maybe it was, I wasn't around then).

There's a lot of up and coming artists on SoundCloud. I could totally see them selling a service that replaces record labels for artists starting out. Stuff like helping with mixing and sound quality, basic advertising and branding, maybe booking a few shows. If SoundCloud became like an incubator or accelerator for artists, they could get some top artists early. Billie Eilish for instance started on SoundCloud. Imagine if SoundCloud, having access to all their streaming data, noticed the song Ocean Eyes blowing up and offered 14 year old Billie Eilish a contract. They'd have made millions by now.

Plus it's not like you need to invest a shitton into up and coming artists. Most of them need a band, some recording studio hours, and some marketing. The marketing is probably the most expensive one, but SoundCloud has easy, free marketing: put the artist on the front page. If SC did this for maybe 25-50 artists a year, they could easily get a Billie Eilish or a mumble rapper or two. It's not like there's many other places to post music as a young artist.

Edit: Or even if SoundCloud can't act as a record label for fear of stepping on actual record labels, they can still build a solid referral relationship. They have the ultimate first look deal.

Your [0] is funny to me because that was how I used and communicated with friend groups back in the early 2000s. Years later when Twitter blew up for real it was strange that facet was forgotten and the culture moved on. That's also the reason for the 140 char length vs the 160 or whatever the SMS limit is. The other characters were reserved for their username.
Most spammers aren’t competent to provision an IPV6 service correctly, especially one with matched PTR and SPF(TXT) records, and using throwaway v6 addresses makes SPF much harder. It’s also easy to spot, at which point you can tag the sender domain with a bad reputation.

It’s no surprise that Gmail et al are more interested in sender domain reputation, and also the graph of related domains, than they were a few years ago.

I saw a BBC documentary where they interviewed every astronaut who had walked on the moon who would speak to them about life. Most were total and utter cranks! Strangest thing I've ever seen. You can understand why once you've seen it. Peaking at a young age, the incredible stress of being a test pilot and watching so many colleagues die through no fault of their own. The adulation for surviving, which really wasn't up to you. Etc. I have huge sympathy for all the Astronuats - not that they'd want it and good for them.

But I'm not taking an astronauts advice on literally anything because they are or were an astronaut. Doing that ends up in the realms of spoon bending. If an astronaut has an idea it stands or falls on the merit of the idea. If you want a heuristic, most astronaut's ideas aren't worth your time. It's a sad conclusion to come to and I'm sure it's unpopular because we love having glamorous heroes but there it is.

I bought one, tried to use it as a primary phone for a while, Super cute, everyone laughs when I spoke on it... it's just a little too little phone.

My biggest complaint was the battery, It has much too little battery to be used as a primary phone, and the "secondary phone" idea is just a stupid one.

Also, as far as features I do use my phone for, camera is important for me personally. And the palm palm camera is much to bad to be useful.

I'm ok with how small it is, but I'd be happy with something quite a bit bigger, but Battery and Camera would be essential for me to use it.

The original comment is almost certainly thinking of https://www.amazon.com/dp/0199858683/ (Brotherhood of Kings: How International Relations Shaped the Ancient Near East).

It's a very good book.

A minor theme is indeed that Mesopotamian city-kings had a hard time trading with Egypt. Mesopotamia seems to have produced mostly textiles, which Egypt made domestically. What Egypt needed from international trade was copper and wood.

All the Mesopotamian city-kings wanted gold, though, which came from Egypt. They could get this one time, by marrying a daughter to the Pharaoh. We have an example of Pharaonic correspondence with a king who repeatedly asked for unworked gold, finally sent a daughter over, received a mountain of gold in return, and concluded by complaining that the gold had been worked (into statues).

I assume many of those statues got melted down.

There is some discussion in https://www.amazon.com/dp/0670022667/ (Carthage Must Be Destroyed: The Rise and Fall of an Ancient Civilization) of how the Phoenician city-states of the bronze age (source of cedar wood to Egypt) gradually succumbed over the centuries to Assyrian empire-building. It's not the main focus of the book though.

Yes, using bare selenium is a writeoff, especially if you are testing modern frameworks like React or VueJS which dynamically modify the DOM.

You need firstly a framework that understands these technologies and then on top of that you want something that offers a structure to capture the common actions and build an automatable view of a page.

For these requirements I have used Geb [1] with the Page Object Model approach with reasonable success - but you still have to approach writing your tests as actual software, not ad hoc random scripting.
