DKIM does not offer cryptographic proof-of-existence or proof-of-time, which a blockchain does. That's the only functional difference, but crucial for copyright law.

Poor man's copyright without cryptographic proof or an immutable time boundary is pretty much worthless.
Some ideas that have worked well for me in b2b/SaaS:

* If you're pre-product/market fit, just reach out to users via email, in-product messaging etc. You can incentivize them with Amazon gift cards as well. At this stage nobody actually needs your product so you'll have to do it by hook or by crook.

* If you're post-product/market fit then people actually _need_ your business. Once you make it clear that you're going to action on their feedback they're highly incentivized to help you out – so use the same strategies as above but make it clear what you'll use the feedback for.

* Set up automated surveys, especially ones that are unobtrusive in order to not create a shitty user experience – this allows you to baseline your product's effectiveness which is the first step towards continuous iteration. Eg last quarter we were at 3.3/5 satisfaction, let's get to 4.0/5 this quarter. These surveys are also a great way to find customers to interview.

* FullStory and Hotjar both allow you to view user sessions, highly recommend them as well.

The most important point: if you're an enterprise business, I highly recommend identifying the "best" customers that you have, building relationships with them, and favoring their guidance over others'. Once you hit scale all of your customers will want to give you feedback, but only some of them will have the wisdom/intelligence/creativity/whatever to have a great sense for what _you_ should build for _your_ business to succeed. When you find these customers, get them onto a customer advisory board / meet with them a lot as they will help you in the art of pulling a great product out of your market.

Comparison is fair. What's presented there isn't exactly a comparison, though. It claims to "take features from some of the most popular editors out there, gaining the best of all worlds", then proceed to list features that are decidedly not the best, nor even differentiating:

- Vim: they took away "being a keyboard-only editor" (every CLI/TUI text editor?) and "being able to act just like an IDE after some configuration" (most programmer text editors?). Also, "being a keyboard-only editor" isn't even accurate for vim, it totally supports mouse input even in a terminal: https://vim.fandom.com/wiki/Using_the_mouse_for_Vim_in_an_xt...

- Emacs: they took away "a configuration system where you can change the colours and appearance of the editor"... This is adequately discussed elsewhere in the thread.

Therefore, gp's analogy of taking away wheels and tires from Ferrari is apt.

Offering to give users a $50 Amazon gift certificate in exchange for a 45 minute call works pretty well for us.

Since we know that 3 out of 10 users who receive this offer will accept it we segment users by industry / feature usage etc. and send offers to talk to them to listen their stories and feedback.
Amazon and Craigslist are competitors and serve most people's online shopping needs.

Sorry, I found your comment hard to follow. Could you please explain in more detail?

Apropos government and ransom payments: in some countries, like Switzerland, _paying_ ransom is generally illegal. That's meant to make blackmailing Swiss people and companies less attractive. Not many countries follow the Swiss lead here, though.

> Luckily, for food conglomerates their stock price is uninsurable.

What do you mean? Falling stock prices are one of the easiest thing to insure against. Just buy some puts. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Put_option

> Unluckily for humans, government hasn't stepped in to prevent a market and much more profitable secondary markets for kidnapping in this decade.

Sorry, which governments and which markets are you talking about? Especially which secondary market? (Do you mean the insurance market? If yes, that's probably better described as a derivatives market.

A secondary market is a rather different beast. See eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_market

In the case of kidnapping, a secondary market would be one where you'd sell on kidnapped people. Not one where you make insurance 'bets'.)
Eh, fair question. Assembl is a pretty sought after name which we have the trademark on. I came up with the name after thinking it was necessary to "assemble" teams of scientists for collaborative research. I liked the name "Assembl" as it's the root for "assemble", "assembling", "assembly", etc.

- https://assembl.co

are both infringers, but we haven't decided to go after them. The owner of https://assembl.com cannot be compelled to sell it, but can't sell it to anyone but us. For now, the focus is mainly on providing value to our userbase, as we grow these challenges are surmountable.
Thanks for sharing! All science affects my opinion. For me, not knowing, makes me have a pessimistic attitude. Lesson learnt is to keep this to myself.
First, your odds don't make sense. It wouldn't be 30x more likely to rain than not on a particular day. However, this is a detail and not that important.

Second, though, is that people make highly uncertain bets all the time, and the price for those bets DOES fluctuate wildly over time.

For example, you can currently place bets at a number of sports books for the winner of next year's NBA finals. There is a TON of uncertainty (we don't even know who is going to be on teams, free agency and the draft haven't happened yet... not to mention injuries, player improvement, etc)

That uncertainty is priced into the bet, and people will take both sides of that bet.

As the year progresses and things happen, that price will fluctuate as we get more information and we get closer to the finals. The favorite might change, and a 200 to 1 might end up being a 10 to 1 by the time the finals gets here.

It isn't that the odds were WRONG at the earlier time, they just had less information. It doesn't mean the odds makers didn't understand what the state of the world was, or that they didn't take into account the uncertainty of what could happen.

I think the 1st pair of articles is more addressed to your skepticism. I recommend them -- they are not merely boosterism. The author provides a thorough rebuttal of the hype around hydrogen for cars & home heating. 'Blue' and 'grey' hydrogen (from fossil fuels with or without carbon capture) are addressed. The upshot is that carbon tax would be necessary to shut 'grey' hydrogen out. After that, initially 'blue' hydrogen would win on cost, but 'green' hydrogen could eventually become cheaper.

Don't get me wrong, people do take the train in LA. The red line before the pandemic was packed full of people during my morning commute, transporting 130,000 people a day. Standing room only for the entire subway train. That being said, you'd never have people waiting on the mezzanines at these stations. The platform is already big enough to hold like 3-4 trains worth of people, and a train comes every 10 mins (every 5 mins where the line is staggered with another subway line downtown) and it is cleared out of people waiting when the train comes (sardines squeeze well).

To expand capacity beyond that would require reengineering the tunnels themselves. They go as fast as they can turn around and vent air as it is. You'd have to bore parallel tunnels to increase capacity, which would just mean adding more platforms and still wouldn't require a mezzanine.

The "hack job piled on top of a hack job" argument doesn't amount to as much as you seem to think.

This weekend Rescorla et al published the Internet Draft of Compact TLS. cTLS is (intended to be) exactly the same functionally as TLS 1.3. Except that the "spelling" is er, compact.

For example, your "real" TLS 1.3 connections have a connection ID in them. That seems sane right? Well, the content of that ID is a bunch of random gibberish, echoed back by the server. It doesn't do anything useful at all, it isn't identifying anything, it's just some random bytes in a system that already has dozens of random bytes that are there on purpose anyway. So why is it there? It's there because in TLS 1.2 that connection ID field was used to resume previous sessions and so lots of middleboxes will just assume everything must be fine so long as you fill out the connection ID and then the remote server appears to continue the same session. Such middleboxes can't snoop because they don't know enough about this hypothetical session which never happened, but since they are just security theatre anyway it doesn't matter, your connection succeeds. This makes TLS 1.3 actually work, developing such workarounds by tweaking the "spelling" took about a year.

But the security proofs are the same for compact TLS and the "real" TLS 1.3 shipped in your browser. It's just that the real thing is "a hack job piled on top of a hack job" because that works.

Mathematics doesn't care how you spell it, if you've come up with an incredibly convoluted way to do something apparently easy, but the math checks out anyway, it still works.
>Consider that giving this advice to everyone on earth would just lead to more extremism in all directions. E.g. PETA sees meat consumption as animal genocide, but meat eaters don't see animals as being in the same class as people (they're humanists).

I categorically disagree. Your stance is what seems to me what would increase extremism, because there's always someone else you can point to and go "BUT WHAT ABOUT..." to justify any arbitrary shitty policy.
NuKardia
I don't think the Register's headline is very accurate. The probe itself remained online, and there was plenty of radio communication happening during that period; it was just one-way, from Voyager 2 to Earth. From NASA's press release:

> The call to Voyager 2 was a test of new hardware recently installed on Deep Space Station 43, the only dish in the world that can send commands to Voyager 2. ... Since the dish went offline, mission operators have been able to receive health updates and science data from Voyager 2, but they haven't been able to send commands to the far-flung probe, which has traveled billions of miles from Earth since its 1977 launch.

> combining the best of GNU/Linux and Fuchsia OS

Why does a new open source OS project have to always shoehorn the entire GNU/Linux ecosystem with X11/Wayland, GTK, DBus and GNOME onto a totally different system?

The only positive takeaway from this is perhaps the learning experience in OS development. Other than that is there a point to this?
Understanding Backup Storage Redundancy in Azure SQL
Makes sense and thanks for the heads up.

Happy that the BaaS ecosystem has so many solid players. I love Hasura, but the fact that they don't have authn out of the box is a big problem with me (i want as little number of moving parts as possible). Supabase fits here pretty snugly
Scala.js generates significantly larger bundles than Rescript — because Ocaml's semantics map more closely to those of JS, the runtime dependencies are smaller and there's a lot of tricks to minimize indirection/overhead. Additionally, interop with npm modules is much less painful with Rescript and bindings for popular third party libraries are more mature. Ignoring the merits of Scala-the-language, there are very good reasons to pick Rescript over the Scala.js toolchain.

Compare https://rescript-lang.org/docs/manual/latest/shared-data-typ... with how Scala.js represents arrays and records.
Probably. I loved touring the US parks while doing remote work, and I miss the freedom of being able to wander around anywhere and sort of ignore roads, but I wouldn't have been able to live in many of the areas that I adored.

One thing that people underestimate about the US is its vast size. When you live in a city, you have at least a dozen grocery stores within an hour's drive. When you live in a rural area, you drive at least an hour into "the city" which has a Walmart and a Kroger.

There are exceptions, like Utah which is basically one giant city/suburb/church running along the Great Salt Lake with a half-dozen national parks to the South. But I would lean towards this being a temporary trend for most people.
maybe I'm missing fonts, but rather than the icons at the bottom (a new document icon, a rust icon, 5 horizontal lines icon ...) I see Japanese characters. As a test I also opened a sh file and it was unable to color the syntax. Hopefully this continues development, but right now it doesn't look ready
If I am expected to make a better prediction of the election outcome by averaging your last 10 predictions than by taking your current prediction, then your current prediction is suboptimal.

Robert Downey Jr. is paid more because of brand recognition in the target market (people will watch a movie just because he's in it), not because he's a much better actor than everyone else.

Software developers don't really have that. Maybe if you're John Romero people buy your games without looking too closely, but it's pretty rare in comparison.

I think you meant to say "Trump NOT be re-elected tomorrow". If Biden comes in would he cow-tow to the tech companies and undo this?
Thank you!

I hadn't heard of Decentraleyes, the project looks great.

As you mention, tracking of smartphones is more troubling. I was dismayed to learn how many applications were tracking me via Facebook identifiers. For this reason, I restrict most apps from accessing 'cellular data' and 'background app refresh' on my iPhone in hopes this might help mitigate the problem. And the tracking done via bluetooth + bluetooth beacons by companies such as Gimbal is insidious.
Well... If someone is making money using free or anonymous plans of Docker Hub, than simplest solution would be just switching to a paid plan. No AWS ”solutions” needed.

I think what many people miss, and what Silver isn't likely to admit, is that 538 is entertainment. If their prediction were 50% split up until the last month of the campaign it would be boring and nobody would check out his site. Higher variance is desirable to him, and he can justify the whole thing in his post mortems by only measuring last minute accuracy.

We are coming closer to agreement. I agree that, indeed it would be possible to place bets on who would win the NBA next year.

But, what do you think the odds would look like for the NBA for example?

Do you think a stable price could exist now, that the warriors have a 90% chance of winning?
It's not, really. They both suck. Both regular PCs and the RPi need piles of proprietary code to work, and a regular PC is arguably a lot more complicated and thus has a lot more proprietary parts.

The difference is mostly that PCs have decades of history of having an openly documented abstraction layer below which all the proprietary stuff is piled on, so it looks more open than the RPi which makes all the proprietary stuff more obvious and in your face.

Among ARM SBCs, the RPi used to be one of the least open ones. These days things are slightly better. It's still not great, but it's also hard to find alternatives that are much better. Nvidia Tegra boards are pretty good; you can run those with fully open source firmware these days, at least the X1 (the last bit missing was the DDR4 training code, but that's been reverse engineered now). It's still hard to get all the pieces working with "clean" open code though.
Perhaps a tangent: I wonder about the true utility and longevity of a project that advertises itself foremost based on the language it is written in, when that should never matter to the consumer. It comes across as a hobby project or a portfolio entry or a tech demonstrator. If it was intended as such: kudos! That is quite an achievement.
It's fun to think about, but any digital file is just a big long number. And prime numbers are surprisingly common.

So finding a variant of one offending digital file that's also a prime is a rather straightforward process.

What fascinates me more is all the illegal bits people put into the bitcoin block chain; and how bitcoin people deal with that.

Especially since you can make random looking strings illegal after the fact:

I have an illegal file A. I produce a random binary file R of the same size as A. I publish (R xor A) and R in two different venues, both mathematically-perfectly random files on their own. But together, they produce illegal file A.
The evidence of a monopoly is zero support for these services.
Most betting markets are at 66%. That I believe is for who is sworn in in January.

Silver's forecast is slightly different. It's for who will win if all votes are counted and no courts intervene.

Given that Biden's lead in states exceeding 270 electoral votes is above the polling margin of error and even above an unexpected 2016 sized error, and that Trump would need a clean sweep of all 7 swing states, 90% isn't crazy considering Trump is an incumbent with a low 40% approval rating.

The extra 23% the betting markets are giving Trump are probably because of the courts and some 2016 "anything could happen" bias. The Supreme Court is conservative as are some of the attorney generals in the swing states. In 2000 that proved decisive and is probably an easier path to victory for Trump than winning a clean vote.

In 2016 Trump had a forecasted 30% chance to win. He lost the popular vote by 3M, but won 3 decisive swing states by a combined 80k votes. The betting markets assist to be giving him about the same 30% chance as 2016 even though the polling, approval rating, undecideds, etc. are all decidedly worse for him this time around.
Server to server TLS transport is of course something I have set up on the smtpd I run. However I don't expect it to provide real security for email transport, since SMTP traffic could go through any amount of plaintext hops outside of my control on either side of an mx to mx communication session.

And my mx also needs to be backwards compatible to exchange email with older systems out there on the internet that speak no TLS at all.

I don't dispute the merits of tls1.3 in any way, or that it functions as designed.

Aside from email, the entire centrally hierarchical root CA system is a hack job. Why does your browser trust certificate authorities from turkey and mainland China?

CA cert issuance transparency and public logs are a further hack job piled on top.
It's the same from another side - it is hard to find low-level devs nowadays. Also, you might be missing some clients because many would think you provide mediocre service since you charge so low.

I actually didn't have anybody in mind when commenting but the general direction of the discussion. As far as I get your main issue is the name squatting which is okay.

I don't see how. They only lose money on public anonymous pulls.

Docker's eventually going away and distros will replace it with a home grown alternative (or systemd). I predict that in 10 years distros will finally move toward a container native model (different from what we have now, but still based on containerization) and host their own registries for officially packaged containers. The same people that mirror their packages will host the registries. You'll add trusted registries the same way you add trusted package repos. In theory, this might actually reduce their overall bandwidth use.
Is there data or research to suggest H1B actively dilutes the talent pool? There’s no doubt the system is abused — not too long ago, I was at an oil and gas company who contracted out to a company that brought in H1Bs. Many of the guys spoke zero English and couldn’t write code at all. Yes - that kind of indefensible abusive. But how rampant is this stuff?
I feel like the market will automatically correct? Nobody buys this overpriced stuff?
