Enterprises, at least in the form of the U.S. federal government, have but there are two key drawbacks:

1. At least until recent, Microsoft implemented it as blocking code in the UI thread – open a message and Outlook won't paint until it can verify the cert, access your local key store (hope your token is in a USB port which is 100% reliable), etc. If you thought “Does that mean that revocation checks block the UI until a network process completes?” you're sadly right.

2. Adoption hasn't been enough to be able to ban untrusted senders. This could still be quite useful for, say, a hard requirement that *@example.com must have signatures but it doesn't help with really common phishing tactics like pretending to be a vendor, business partner, etc.

3. You definitely need to get serious about key management because your ability to read your old encrypted email depends on retaining those keys. This is obviously not impossible but it has a cost when you think about the need to store them securely in a manner which can be restored after the inevitable system failures and compromises.
Your comment reacts to the wrong part of the quote. It is not controversial to say that all history is biased. The controversy is stating that perfect truth (objectivity), were it achievable, would not be desirable because the author believes that he serves a higher value than truth. That is a basic (and abhorrent) tenet of communism, and probably amoral leadership generally (see Trump vis-a-vis suppressed Covid information in early 2020.) If you don't hold truth as a central value, you will often find yourself discarding it in situations where it is clearly inconvenient.
I've just been given an offer from Facebook and I have a few days to decide to take the job or not. The ethical implications of what I'm doing are intense. On one hand, a near 400k total comp package is very nice, but on the other hand I don't want to make the world worse off. I think if I could make that kind of money working from home for another company it'd be an easier decision. Unfortunately, I have to play the hand I'm dealt.
These sort of places prey on people who have no idea what a proper amount of protein looks like. A single slice of ham is so small an amount it’s practically a rounding error in the overall scheme of a balanced diet.
Hey Ted,

Is there a way to migrate a bunch of domain names from Godaddy to Namecheap ? We own about 200 domain names and I would like nothing more than to drop Godaddy for Namecheap, but I cannot justify the manpower (basically just me) required to migrate domains one by one.

Thanks.
What does adding the + do? Isn't the + implicit for each search term?
That should be OK. If my friend wants to send it to me, why shouldn't he be allowed to?
Up until 20 years ago a foreign language was compulsory in UK secondary schools through the equivalent of US high school. The default foreign language that virtually every school would teach was French, with other languages usually being a nice to have. There’d be the occasional school that taught German but not French. Up until very recently it could be assumed that virtually every educated Briton could read French to a low level. And up until the 70s at least not being able to speak French on some level would have been vaguely embarrassing for middle class strivers. Writing things in French is not a claim to be from France, it’s a class thing.
New constructions in Seattle have been eschewing basements. See https://www.quora.com/Do-homes-in-Seattle-have-basements

I'm not sure if it is just purely stylistic or if they were more trouble than they were worth so builders stopped digging them in.

When we were looking at houses, we couldn't really stand most of the older ones because the basements were so dreary. There was just nothing to do with them, yet they were counted in so much of the home's square footage.
I use only chrome built-in bookmark manager, tried pocket several years ago but dislike it.

I was shocked when I learned that employees at Facebook use Facebook internally for work related discussions. Facebook is not built for that purpose.
Search engines have been aiming for the lowest common denominator for a long time now. It's all about asking a vague question and letting it's knowledge of you and people like you lead you to the answer. I prefer telling it exactly what I want. Like every other piece of software these days, I keep fighting it because it tries to out-think me. Not a hard task some days, but still.

Does DDG allow "and", "or", parens, etc? I tried a query of the form A and (B or C) and it brought back things but I can't tell if it just ignored the parens and "and" and "or" keywords or if it actually used them. Does it honor double-quotes and plus and minus signs?

I tend to give DDG more information than it needs, such as "c programming enum" instead of just "enum" for example. I'd love to be able to treat it as a pseudo sql query instead.
I'm actually working through SICP for the second time right now[1]. This looks like a great place to go after I finish that. I've been meaning to roll my sleeves up and finally dig into the Common Lisp ecosystem, so far it's been mostly Clojure, emacs-lisp, and a bit of Guile[2]. The incredible depth and breadth of the language, and the fact that good documentation seems to be split across all of its various implementations, makes approaching it feel like swimming into the deep end without your water wings.

[1] The first time was my introduction to lisp, so only bits of it stuck.

I mentioned the Blackbox phone only because folks here (and mostly here alone) care about privacy. People outside this ecosystem don't give a damn about privacy - it's either the value of the phone at its price or its the capability of the phone which appeals to them.

Appleistas are the only ones who talk about the Apple experience because clearly it's only Apple which came up with that marketing gimmick. There's nothing different or even superbly superior of the Apple experience compared to the Huawei or Samsung experience. On the contrary, it's effectively much easier for most people I've met to get familiar with Android over Apple. Like most people mention here regularly, most people buy Apple only because of the green chat box stigma.
Early digitization will be looked back in history as an information dark age. I can't even access a website from 10 years ago, unless the sole archivist, The Internet Archive, has an old copy of it saved.

Digital information doesn't survive long. Compact discs have bit rot. Hard disks and SSDs have limited lifetimes. People only store what matters to them - they aren't concerned with archiving history. Where people have archives lying around, I bet they've not checked them in years and the data is no longer recoverable. Archiving requires maintenance, and is costly. TIA relies on voluntary donations.
Yes, but it's not a political end it's an ethical end. Facebook is being leveraged by political actors to cause harm in an unethical way - wanting to prevent this is not a political stance unless you believe that being apolitical is adopting some middle ground between America's Republican and Democrat parties, in which case considering ethics at all is a non-starter since both parties have shied away from imposing any kind of hard regulation on Facebook.

Institutional power doesn't have to be leveraged towards political ends, but if you profit directly from an institution choosing unethical behavior in pursuit of profits then you are also behaving unethically. It's completely reasonable to apply that standard to the best-paid of Facebook's employees, just as it is completely reasonable for those employees to petition against committing more unethical behavior.
You're right. Then again ESPN doesn't bend over backwards to constantly bombard viewers with content that will sow division and hate between franchises so I'd imagine it's less likely to be a recurring issue.
Friend codes and generally Nintendo's online service being poor is a conscious decision. They really don't want players chatting with each other, as they want it to be a safe place for children.

>You build it on SMTP because upgrading clients is easier than doing a clean slate redesign of ubiquitous internet protocols.

Why not just toss the whole shebang and rebuild it below that layer? Signal Protocol seems to be pretty successful here.

>Presumably we're discussing how an open protocol addition might gain any traction at all over walled garden protocols like Slack

No, I'm asking how a new open protocol can be built on top of email in a way that maintains strong backwards compatibility while offering strong security guarantees, like end-to-end encryption. I don't think it's possible.

American here (work in downtown Chicago), I used to get Pret several times a week as one of their stores was right next door to my office. They have delicious sandwiches, bakery items, and fruit cups, but it's very expensive - a croissant and a breakfast sandwich ran close to $10.

It's a great place if you want to eat healthy and have a short lunch time, but there are better options to deliver from if you're WFH.

>I believe he argues convincingly that it can be

It's pretty convincing when you read third party accounts of Marxism by right wing spokesman who have a lot to gain to equating what they don't like to Marxism. When you read either Marxists (plenty of others besides BLM) or the ones who you call Neo-Marxists, you find Marxists sighing when not Marxism is called Marxism, and the so called "Neo-Marxists" criticizing Marx.

>arbitrary notion of two economic classes to slightly less arbitrary notion of two races.

Every classification is arbitrary, although you can argue about it's usefulness or consistency.

>A few other bits of jargon have been renamed, but otherwise the belief framework is intact.

Except the most essential part which makes the framework consistent. But hey, if you squint hard enough even a dog can be a cat.

>Marx is by far the most famous proponent of this kind of dual class oppression/revolution based framework. Someone really deep into the history of that stuff might prefer the term Hegelianism, but it's hardly more useful for communication.

Marx is known for a lot of things, to be honest I don't be surprised if some isolated community believes that Marx had babies for breakfast, this is an effect of being an ideological boogeyman. Regardless of what you think of communism, it should be hard to deny the depth of his philosophical and historical points, if not that it's a regular POV. With that in mind, adding more legends to the Marxist black legend should be considered the opposite of useful communication.

>The essay does acknowledge that the underlying worldview pre-dates Marx, and the term Marxism is thus merely a useful handle to describe that bundle of worldviews.

Yes, as mentioned this is exactly my main problem with the essay, the author even spells out my main point, but still framing this as a external factor "corrupting" liberalism.

>BTW: Quillette is not a liberal magazine and Hazony is a highly conservative Jewish nationalist.

I was not familiar with the writer, and mixed the liberal term with the more American Libertarian. My mistake.

I guess it depends on your definition of "political party".

The EU has what's called a "political party at European level", there are 10 of these registered and a few more that don't meet the criteria to register.[0]

Most of these parties - and in particular the biggest two, the EPP[1] and PES[2] - don't allow individuals to become members.

Instead their members are political parties at national and regional parties that already exist in the member states.

One or two of the other parties are built around member states' parties, but also offer individual membership. ALDE,[3] the third-largest party, is one that does.

There are a few more parties that are active but don't meet the criteria to register.

The Pirate Party,[4] already mentioned by others, is one, but that too is a party-of-parties.

Volt Europa[5] is probably the only serious attempt at creating Europarty that is comprised predominantly of individuals, although even they allow for national-level parties as members in their statutes.

What can make things slightly confusing is that in the European Parliament MEPs don't actually formally sit as parties, but rather as political groups, of which there are 7. There are MEPs that don't sit in a group, but these tend to be more fringe parliamentarians, typically on the far-right.

The EPP and PES are big enough to have groups (EPP and S&D, respectively) that are more or less coterminous with their parties, but the other parties work together.

The European Greens sit with the European Free Alliance[6] along with the Pirate Party and Volt Europa, for example.

----------

[0] Regulation 1141/2014 [7] lays down the requirements. Amongst the details of the legal restrictions that have to be adhered to is the requirement to have elected representatives, or achieve 3% in European Parliament elections, in at least 1/4 of the member states.

> When I left, we were up to a few dozen components, and the number was climbing rapidly.

I should have included this in the blog post: The number of components _needs_ to be kept small. Shopify's main monolith is 2.8 million lines of code in 37 components, and I'd actually like to get that number _down_.

I like to compare this to the main navigation that we present to our merchants. It's useful if it has 8 entries. It's not useful if it has 400.

In a way, components are the main navigation to our code base. A developer should be able to look at what's in our "components" folder and get a general impression of what the system's capabilities are.

I associate Pret with airports for some reason.

I’ve eaten at several Pret a Mangers in London and they were ok, nothing to write home about but not bad. Better than a grocery store sandwich. Similar to an Amazon Go sandwich. Better than Subway. Here in Chicago we have a chain called Potbelly that’s pretty good and Pret is definitely below them. (Also it seems the only Pret still open in the US is the one on the UChicago campus)
Why are you convinced of that? Unionized protests frequently accomplish institutional change - why do you think Facebook or Twitter would be exempt? If anything a unionized tech force striking would have more bargaining power than other groups since they are educated, specialized, and difficult/expensive for either company to replace en masse.
I am convinced that fire alarm batteries only go flat at 4 am.

I can’t tell you how much I recommend namecheap, the service you provide is excellent as a registrar. You’ve been my recommendation for 7+ years for hundreds of clients and as long as you continue in the path you’ve followed, will be for a long time.
More like a web blocker "service". It is profoundly unhelpful to me that a proxy service cares if I have Javascript disabled in my browser.

> Taking a stance to not control what communication is allowed is a very political stance.

Then in your model of the world, how would one not take a political stance?

If everyone takes a political stance in your model by definition no matter what their intents or actions are then it's a rather useless definition.
And unlike a natural gas plant, it costs 3-10x what the equivalent generating capacity in renewables would cost.

I come to post this Same Thing every time this discussion comes up. It's not about safety. Everyone serious understand nuclear, even current technologies, is "safe enough" to be useful to build out.

Nuclear is outrageously expensive, though. And new reactor designs don't seem to be making much progress on that.

Look, I think nuclear is fine. But as a numerate and earnest environmentalist, I don't see where the case for it lies. Right now, we should be building out solar and wind as fast as we can, because they're good and safe and CHEAP. And when we get to that last 5-10% where we need buffering capacity that we're currently getting via gas? Yeah, maybe then we can talk about nuclear.

But even then... meh. What's the case on trying to finish the job on electrical generation vs. putting those same dollars into low hanging fruit in other areas of the energy puzzle?

Nuclear needs to make its case on a balance sheet before it makes sense to talk about.

I've never had a problem using who.is for this purpose.

GoDaddy is the SourceForge of hosting. I'll never trust them again, and I don't think anyone should. Not only do they still pull the shenanigans of registering domains you search for, but I've had terrible experiences in the past where they just decided to shut down my hosted sites for no good reason. I once woke up to discover that my web forum was shut down, and I got an email from them telling me that they decided that I had used a nulled/cracked version of paid software, which simply wasn't the case. No matter how much evidence I provided, they didn't change their minds and took days to get back to me. I took my business elsewhere, obviously.

Even for the average person, there are tons of better options than GoDaddy nowadays. If you need a website for your business, just use Wix or Squarespace or the like. GoDaddy is shady, even though they've tried to rectify their image.
Thank you for joining the discussion.

Any chance Namecheap can provide catch-all mailboxes?

I don't care to have 10 different mailboxes, I was stuck with GoDaddy and now with Wild West Domains just because the have "catch-all", so I can register to services with different email addresses (e.g. paypal55@mydomain.com, ebay44@mydomain.com) so I can also track who got hacked/sold my email ;)

If you do provide it, since I don't see "catch-all" on your three email options (Starter-Pro-Ultimate). If you do offer it, can you please consider adding it to the key specs?
If you're thinking of the Ukraine/Russian Origin story of Kyivan Rus, do you think Scandinavians settled in the Russia/Ukraine area? There's evidence there was trade between the various empires.

What killed them? We lost ours just about 18 months ago.

They seemed to be in a perfect spot, too. Only restaurant in a 20 floor office building. We used them for lunch when customers came in all the time.

How could you screw that one up? Or was it that all their leases expired simultaneously and they just couldn't pay the now-expensive rent?
Whatever fills web.archive.org is good!

Except that one of the primary criticisms is that the primary sources are edited heavily and misleadingly. I have particularly little sympathy for that, because one of the things you learn as a lawyer is that using a misleading quote or omission destroys your credibility in an adversarial system like legal proceedings. Your opponent will invariably provide the missing context in response and make you look like a liar. If a history book takes liberties (for example, in one passage, using an ellipses to connect sentences in two completely different documents written two days apart) that I wouldn’t in legal practice, that’s a huge red flag.
An act of war implies the existence of a war. The USA is not at war with either Iran or Irak, so not sure how this could qualify (except that, had the roles been reversed, it would have definitely been seen as an act that can START a war).

>All of the counter arguments always come down to this: Facebook would make less money. And, yes, of course that is going to be the case because if any of these changes would make them more money they would have implemented them themselves. It requires a public corporation to accept that they are making the world a worse place, and to choose to make less money to stop doing that.

And it would also require them to make a product that people desire less, and risk losing to a competitor that gave people what they want. People want to cluster in silos, chase novelty, and spout off with 100% confidence about topics they know nothing about.
