Zulip, by any chance?
Really any cheap VPS provider with cPanel should do what you are asking to provide unlimthed domains, aliases, users, mailboxes, catch alls, forwarding, etc. if you are not looking for anything more complex than IMAP support. Just be sure to set all your DNS/DKIM/SPF up correctly and you should be good to go.
Welcome, and glad you think so :)

Medicines that defeat aging have a 50% chance of being developed with in 20 yrs
I wonder what the most elegant Turing-complete universe is.

I believe it to be a system based on collision-based computing [1].

My hunch is this: Matter and Energy have a duality that is analogous to code and data. Einstein likened the speed of light to the speed of information. Wolfram/Toffoli/Fredkin or well, any other Cellular Automata specialist, studied the rate of propagation in CA, Lyapunov exponents. [2]

Now it seems to me, that if we can create a digital system which provides for code <-> data duality analogous to Mass–energy equivalence [3], then we should be able to get stable structures that hold data, and stable processes that process data. I have tried for many years on and off with various CAs. Many of the CAs have been unconventional, like cells containing arrays of particles, particles being objects rather than simple numbers or enum types. And CAs based on reals or complex numbers or associated vector fields.

So:

Option A: Only runs on one platform, can only be published on that platform with the blessing of the manufacturer of your device and little-to-no insight into data usage

Option B: Cross platform, can be interfaced with using open standards and block parts of it that you want (not just on a DNS level, but on a resource level)

I really don't see why you would prefer A?
What it would take is for us all to set up nodes. I'd do it, if anyone else would: tragedy of the commons. At least ham radio guys are doing it.

> Nope, an iOS app can’t leave a cookie that other apps can use to identify me.

Maybe not directly, but by using something like the Facebook SDK the same effect can be achieved by shipping your advertising identifier off to Facebook who then does the tracking server side using events generated by the Facebook SDK. This is in tons of apps and you have no way of knowing it as an end user without reading the privacy policy or reverse engineering the app.

> Clearing storage is not the issue, making sure that the storage is not accidentally cleaned is.

This is just as much of an issue on native apps as it is with webapps, browsers wont clear local storage for a website unless the user requests it just like how a native apps storage won't be cleared unless a user requests it.

> The data consumption of an app is predictable because the download size would be listed in the appstore. On a website, it could be anything and the only way to find out is to load it. You can check out the data usage after install in iOS but there’s no easy way to do it for websites.

Just because the App Store download size is predictable doesn't mean the final download size is, lots of apps download a bunch of extra assets on first launch or even regularly as you are using them. I also couldn't find a way to check data usage of apps or websites on WiFi on my iPad so that isn't really a point either way.

> On Wednesday, October 14th, Twitter locked the accounts of a White House press secretary and the New York Post, one of America’s largest tabloid newspapers. The accounts shared a story the Post ran on leaked emails which seemingly implicate Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s son in corruption. When users tried to share the story publicly or privately, they found a message informing them that their tweets could not be sent. Chinese users of Twitter mused on the feeling of déjà vu, as links to corruption stories sometimes vanish on Chinese social media apps like WeChat as well. For a moment, the paths of the Chinese and American internets once more converged.

This is just preposterous.

On the one hand: a widely used but private corporation decided to block certain accounts and links on its service, because it doubted the truthfulness of what was being posted. The extent to which the decision by said corporation is in keeping with the interests of its governing state is unclear, and could be argued several different ways. Meanwhile, numerous other services and media talk about the same topic blocked by the corporation, both broadcast media and internet-based media (and those that span both).

On the other hand: a national government removes and blocks posts on certain topics. No services accessible via normal means within the jurisdiction of said government carry any material related to any of these topics. Access to information about them requires relatively specialized network access. No broadcast/mass media ever carry items regarding these topics.

How can any sane person even suggest that there is any kind of equivalency between these two things? The only thing that connects these two stories are the scale of use of Twitter. If Joes Weekly Blog (jwb.wordpress.foo) or some similarly obscure network context chose to block anyone from the NY Post or links to it in the comment section of their blog, who would write an article about that?

So why does the scale of Twitter, rather than its fundamental nature, allow an otherwise apparently intelligent individual to equate Twitter's behavior with that of the Chinese government?
I don't think they necessarily would be - but they're another option, and they're harder to block since there isn't a cable to physically cut.
Hi Dataminded! Yes! This is something we have all talked about as future optimizations for the best user experience. We'll be changing a lot of our buttons over to links first.
We plan to change how our GM search functions to make it easier to see a number of GM's at a glance as well, and probably moving to paginate those pages.

Sons and Lovers always loomed large for me, because it was a book that--over a period of fifteen years starting in college--I attempted to read and never got more than a third of the way through. It was the only book I took with me when I moved to Israel, back to Texas, to New York, and then to France. It went with me everywhere.

I finally finished it last year. I had the same impression as you. I enjoyed it, but it seemingly didn't stick with me the way a book such as Crossing to Safety did. And yet I still find myself referencing that book perhaps more than any other. I'm glad I finally made it through.

> Turns out, most people want prosperity and the only reason they actually want freedom is because they're afraid lack of freedom blocks their attempts at prosperity.

Because we are exploring an infinite problem space, there is no algorithmic solution to the question of prosperity. People who forgo freedom essentially are subjecting themselves to someone else's idea of prosperity, and those who want to keep their freedoms are the ones that don't believe anyone else's exploration to find prosperity can necessarily be better than theirs.

> The internet doesn't (yet) actually interfere with freedom in this sense

But it does. Tremendous human potential is already being wasted in the name of showing ads to eyeballs; from PhDs who run the big data experiments, to the general public that waste their energy on outrage and unintegrable squabbles. Our collective intelligence suffers for this, we are less able to make sense of things as natural as pandemics despite the increased connectivity, and hopelessly stuck in argument for more complicated things. It tremendously and collectively blocks out a lot of prosperity, it just does in a way that doesn't show up on quarterly earnings.
Using less labor to grow food is what makes society productive enough for scientific and medical research. Those in turn address common public health issues and create more labor saving technologies allowing people to do things that they enjoy.

It's quite telling how the CA government backed out the moment Uber, Lyft and gang threatened to pull out. They're theatrics that expose the empty arguments they're trying to pull off under the guise of "fairness" and "equality".
> So the cost to spammers is literally a million times higher than it is for ordinary users, which is exactly the sort of thing that actually works.

The law-abiding user is the one that incurs the real cost. Spammers pump and dump millions of IDs. This drives up the cost of getting an ID. The normal user that just needs a new ID for some reason is the one that suffers the most here.

I don't care if it's expensive for a scammer. If it's cost-prohibitive for grandma to get a new ID, then it defeats the purpose.
You can check for real device. You can have rate limiters. You can request e-mail/phone validation before providing a valuable service. I guess depends on the nature of the situation.

"It's still mostly heritable" -- this statement is confusing to me. If we aren't sure what we're talking about in the first place, how are we sure "it" is heritable?
Sibling of someone like you here -- I absolutely got fed up with reading Animal Crossing dialogue for my sister, and I maintain that's the only reason she finally learned to read.

I have the opposite experience. At my previous work (new job has no office, nor printers) windows ran the full gamut of "things that can go wrong with printers": couldn't detect them, could detect them couldn't print, could print before - now can't. There wasn't a week that went by when the person who was blessed by the printer gods didn't randomly change.

FSK LDPC Data Mode
It stands out that it's using customer count and not revenue churn. In a well running business you might see shrinking customer count but net-negative churn because you're growing revenue on the accounts that stay with you. This is really very common in any SaaS that gets big.

Calculating the customer churn is valuable for LTV computation but it doesn't seem as useful as a KPI for a growing saas business as net revenue churn rate.

This is a fair distinction, but artificial fertiliser still requires fossil fuels to produce and so isn't sustainable even if it has zero negative impact on the soil's health.
It's still important to think about how much $10, the current Urbit ID price, represents in some parts of the world. The World Bank has a poverty line of ~$3-4 per day and over half of India lives (or did in 2017) on less than that and the official rural poverty line is around $6-7 a month. If we're setting up the next internet we really shouldn't be locking out anyone due to price.
The example you cited is operated by a central government entity, the Taiwan Railways Administration, and is used in a few places inside and outside the station, just as every other central government building uses the traditional form. On every other map and sign it's 台北車站. The tickets printed by the TRA even use 台北 or 台北車站.

In modern times, that statement still holds.

In the sense that you don't risk losing everything if the company providing the software (often as service) goes under, stops development or simply decides to "pivot" their product into something else.

You can build, maintain and host it all yourself.
XML API - robots exchange XML, converted to human form with a stylesheet, both on the fly and stored documents. From the description of fields to full blown application, think XSLX plugged Excel stylesheet.

That's how desktop applications work, maybe we should ask why is it not the norm? Why each request downloads application intertwined with data? Why can't one save response as one saves desktop document?

I am ok with JSON but I want a way to plug application supported by browser, XML is the only choice yet.
I was answering your question:

> It's only a 'grind' if you don't enjoy the process though, right?

I'd summarize my answer as "no, it's still a 'grind'." To answer your followup, "yes, it can be even worse if you hate the basic act."

On a meta level: life sucks and involves hardship. There's value in grinding on things you hate. If you've only succeeded at things that you love, your success is quite likely fragile. Resiliency is developed by accepting, and grinding, your way to success at something you hate.

I think Activity Pub would work well if the federation servers were run by real towns / cities / states.

One of the things that I like about Movim[1] is that the servers that are currently running it are literally just named after countries.

If my town can uses tax money to run a server for all residents, I think that's pretty cool.

It feels more subsidiary. It maintains some amount of connection to the real world while also providing a genuine service. It feels more like a road or trash pick up service.

If I am honest with myself, I have to admit that I am resentful of Discord. I hate that it exists, I hate that it is used, and most of all I hate that it is popular. It's irrational hatred (I think distate is legitamate), but I can't deny it. I don't know if it's my general aversion to gamer culture, or the fact that it's an electron application, or that it just came out of nowhere, and suddenly was everywhere. I decide not to use it, but still feel left out. I'm glad and sad.
I go out of my way to ensure that my contacts don't use Discord. At the begining of the pandemic, my friends wanted to use it (the TeamSpeak server we used to use was full), but it didn't work on my end, AFAIK because of strict browser policies. Luckly we swiched to mumble, and it works great. The effort to configure it at first it greater, and the defaults can be improved, but I'm far happier this way, without being sucked into another horrible service.
Sure, commas should be used when grammatically necessary, but a period before a newline is not going to make a big difference one way or the other in terms of cognitive load.

My primary concern about Signal and usability is the insistence on using phone numbers to identify a person as a user ID.

Anything that relies on SS7/PSTN working correctly is a very bad design choice in my opinion.

Giving out your phone number to possibly untrusted contacts is also a bad decision because it opens up opportunities for scams, spam and social-engineering attempted hijacks of accounts (SIM swap attacks etc).
Not OC, but they probably mean iPhones. I wish iPhones would switch to USB-C too; my iPhone is now the only device I own that isn't USB-C.

If the service is at all useful, some other provider will enter to fill the void. You should never trust any service which doesn’t allow you to download your data, OSS-backed or not.
Who physically cuts provider fiber as a way to intentionally censor or sabotage the Internet?
Could Signal use phone number pairs to robustly implement a "make me visible to" discovery method?

It could certainly implement contact matching based on number pairs instead of just numbers, but I haven't reasoned through whether it could robustly (and efficiently I suppose) keep other parties from enumerating the number pairs.
the OP inferred that not reading until 10 was suboptimal. I argue that effectively, most people don't read in adulthood. So, if he's frightened by a 10yo not reading, he's in for a rude awakening when he gets to interface with adults.

Perhaps they are unrelated. perhaps I drew a wrong conclusion. But perhaps they aren't hurried, they are just lazy.

I suppose that could be euphemistic. Excuse my previous terminology. You do not want to decompress your vertebrae, stretch the quadratus lumborum or the erector spinae to release tightness in the back. You are better off focusing on a bottom up approach with calves, hamstrings, glutes, and rarely directly stretch the areas around the spine.

We see that a lot in practice, but it's not clear that there aren't solutions.

For example, if it costs someone $0.00001 to send you a packet, that could still be decentralized but the economics change a lot. Maybe for the better.
That's a pretty recent change though. Not long ago they used to require a non-temporary email, often a phone number (no prepay phone numbers allowed, ruling out most of many countries), and maybe a bunch of captchas to top it off.

I'd say 95% of the new tools I try come from HN recommendations, I hope we don't start seeing interlopers trying to game it.
I find playfulness great but it can backfire when a serious problem crops up. Then it starts looking like unprofessionalism.

This might be why Discord themselves have said not to use it for serious business in companies (I can't find the quote and don't know if they say that anymore, but they definitely used to).

I think it's an amazing piece of software. Every single day that I have to use Lync or MS Teams at work I miss the easy copy/paste interface and all the rest. My only gripe is that notifications are unreliable and spotty on my phone. I tried making a chatroom with a couple of friends but they had similar issues so we all moved back to Whatsapp. Maybe they've fixed those in the last year or so.
You prefer option A because it’s much better experience.

If you’re building a service that’s not suitable for option A then you use option B. It’s not really a discussion at that point.

I’m glad that there’s an option B the way that I am glad that there’s frozen pizza in the fridge. Good to have it but I’m not gunning for it if a proper restaurant pizza is available.
