Are ppl who don't even know DKIM exists but know they have shady emails saved in the cloud or on their personal really just banking on repudiation and thats why they take no other action like deleting the email or putting more thought into emails they send? Seriously doubt it.

Exactly bc of statute of limitations, they would not have to look over their shoulders for the rest of their lives because of one poorly written email.

Ok, we've added the quantifier 'some' to the title above.
It seems like you have just a genuine misunderstanding due to language and culture. American discourse uses "right wing" and "left wing" frequently and broadly, someone saying they're "right wing" does not mean they are "far right" or extreme or anything like that. Particularly in the context of the original poster, it's a common idiom to state something like "I'm generally left-wing, but I think <insert opposing view on some issue>" as a very clearly centrist person.

I never said Trump's actions in February prevented the virus from entering the country. It of course would be post-virus entering the country.

I also laided out that timeline literally from wikipedia. If I am wrong somewhere. Perhaps we can update wikipedia, just tell me where it's wrong.
The problem is that these polls assume the authority of scientific inquiry without any rigor. I could state that 40% of people believe personalized ads are unethical, and that might be accurate, but when I claim it and admit that I pulled it out of hot/thin air, at least you know that it's just that -- hot air. Polling 6,000 self-selected people from 2 different continents and 4 different countries and weighting the responses based on populations in the millions is pseudoscience.

RSA bought this survey. They're an internet security company. They didn't "research" this for any reason other than the fact that this press release is good for their bottom line.

The divisiveness is a consequence of the primary system, not the two-party system. The primary system is very new, only here since 1972, but the fact is that 1) the power to nominate candidates should have never been handed to the voters, and 2) now that it has been, it is impossible to revoke. The "strategic" aspect of nominating a candidate closer to the center, to capture as much of the political spectrum as possible, is impossible to coordinate with individual voters but very easy to execute by party insiders.

Without primaries, Barack Obama would have never been President but Donald Trump wouldn't have been either.

> I don't understand why do you have to call on an app. That sucks.

I call every restaurant I order from because I want the restaurant taking every dime of the order. I don't want Grubhub or Doordash or whoever "facilitates the transaction" to take a percentage of my order. Worse yet, some restaurants in my area have wised up and increased menu item prices for app-facilitated purchases only to avoid margin erosion, so I'm definitely not going to pay more for the privilege of "clicking buttons on an app".

I will use Yelp or Grubhub on occasion for discoverability. Hyper-SEO has lead to real restaurant websites falling out of my Google results, so sometimes I need to look up their phone number.

Yelp knows that there are people like me, and are now positioning themselves to suck more cash out of my local restaurants by hijacking my phone call to them. Fuck that, no more Yelp for me. I'll continue adding known good phone numbers to my phone & taking pictures of paper menus so I can refer to them when I want.

> I have been using tons of open source software on my Mac since 2017 without ever disabling SIP.

Homebrew put in some work for this not to be an issue, but SIP was an issue for me back in the day and why I no longer use a Mac.

Additionally, there's an annoying popup every time you want to launch a internet-downloaded binary that doesn't even have an 'Allow' on the box itself. One has to go via Settings => Security and Privacy, which is tedious.

> I was able to address that by self-signing the binary.

For many, that's too much friction to bother.

> M1 Macs don’t boot any OS not signed by Apple but they did demonstrate Linux running under virtualization. The fact that they included this in their demo indicates that the ability to continue running open source software on Macs remains a priority.

Maybe, but virtualization is not the same as bare metal. The only thing this shows to me is that Apple knows server-software will be deployed to Linux servers, so they need to provide some ability to test on Linux, even for their own in-house services I'd imagine.
I don't know how fair this is but will just say that the first thought that jumps to my mind here is that being surprised at a cryptographer advocating for deniable messages is a little bit like being surprised at a medical researcher advocating for effective antibiotics. It probably never occurs to either of them to question the legitimacy of their moral stance.

I do have a question though, as a relative amateur. It’s more on a sociological level.

Suppose you are in an organization, and it needs to figure our whether an employee was saying a Bad Thing such as giving out company secrets or cursing people out “off the record”.

Yes, even with end to end encryption, Facebook and others can still let you prove the other person sent the messages when you need. The question is whether that is a good thing:

https://facebook.com/help/messenger-app/1165699260192280

My personal feeling is yes, yes it is. I make a more extensive analysis here:

You don't "need" ads, as in there are other ways to do it, if there was some reason to never use ads. But there's no reason, so ads are used too, and are quite effective in that too. And it won't be convenient for a buyer that doesn't know certain offering exists. I.e. if I don't know such thing as wireless headphones existed, I couldn't effectively look it up and seek reviews for it - somebody should tell me first - dude, did you know you can get rid of those annoying wires and just buy wireless ones? Now, did I "need" them? Strictly speaking, no - I could very well have lived all my life with wired ones and be fine. But wireless are better for me, so why should I resent someone who tries to sell them to me? For me, it's a win-win.

>These days that dispute is ridiculous - obviously prejudice and bias can be built into technological artifacts. It's one "if statement" away.

And with machine learning we're building our biases into the algorithms explicitly; see all those "resume parsers are racist" articles.

This is clearly an issue that needs to be dealth with but the problem is that it's not a problem we can engineer our way of, we need to confront the biases that we have and try and build ways to expose biases we don't even realize we have.

This is obviously quite hard and if I had a solution to it I'd probably be implementing it instead of waxing poetic on HN.
> Sure, but that already means you are jumping through hoops.

Map<String,Object>, Object, a few other things you may need are standard Java, so not sure how this is 'jumping through hoops'. It's not necessarily more complicated, just not idiomatic java - the point is you CAN write shitty JS-style code if you want, how is that an argument for why JS is somehow better than Java?

> Well, maybe I misunderstood you. And with "sufficiently powerful" you just meant "someone can kinda use it to build something". Well then, yes.

Are you not aware that many prominent tech companies have a significant Java stack? Google, Amazon, Uber, Airbnb, Netflix, etc? Are you not aware of major open source Java projects such as kafka, elasticsearch, hadoop, android sdk, etc? What point are you even trying to make?

> Saying it just doesn't make much sense to me in a discussion about ergonomics where people complain about type system limitations.

What doesn't make sense is saying that Java's type system makes it a worse language than JS or Python, or that JS or Python are closer to Rust/Haskell.

> I'm curious to see the "trivial" implementation in Java that equals the ones from F# and Scala. Mind that both solutions I gave allow to add a "fold(left -> handleLeft(...), right -> handleRight(...))"

Here you go:

class Either<L,R>
{
public static <L,R> Either<L,R> left(L value) {
return new Either<>(Optional.of(value), Optional.empty());
}

public static <L,R> Either<L,R> right(R value) {
return new Either<>(Optional.empty(), Optional.of(value));
}

private final Optional<L> left;
private final Optional<R> right;

private Either(Optional<L> l, Optional<R> r) {
left=l;
right=r;
}
}

Yes, it's longer and slightly more complicated, mainly because Java doesn't have pattern matching, and yes you can add typesafe fold and map functions to it without reflection. That being said, you gave me examples in languages with more sophisticated type systems than Java - these say absolutely nothing about why Java is worse than Python or JS.

Interestingly enough, our IT doesn't send out alerts for Windows 10 feature updates. I suspect that because so many executives use Macs that this is the reason why the alert went out.
Given yelp's reputation for having a toxic extortionist corporate culture, I think it's naive to assume anything is beyond them. If you told me yelp flat out had somebody murdered, I wouldn't dismiss even that out of hand. Not after what I've heard about their corporate culture, and not after hearing what eBay executives thought they could get away with.
> Why isn't it valid to acknowledge all the data/risks, and still feel like we should just let the virus run its course?

It's technically valid, but tiresome to rehash the same broadly rejected viewpoints over an over. What you called "toeing the covid line" above is basically agreeing with the consensus of experts who actually know what they're talking about.

> But people who believe all the numbers and still think we are overreacting are still being censored/ignored to oblivion. Not only that, but my (highly reliable ;-) anecdata tells me that most of these people are busy raising kids and growing the food you eat. Just because they don't have the time to spray their opinions all over the internet and petition their govt officials to freak out doesn't mean that their viewpoints are less valid.

Oh, I know some of those people, and they're part of the reason the state my parents still live in has been a covid shitshow for several months and only just came around to imposing a mask mandate and occupancy limits. Their viewpoints are definitely less valid, being either wishful thinking or lack of concern for others.

I discovered a similar trick few years ago: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35660899/reduce-memory-f...

The idea is to tweak when `mmap` or `malloc` are used by the Python interpreter. One allows memory to be released to the OS right away, whereas the other is not.

It is a useful trick if your application is generating lots of small objects.

Things I’ve learned with an one-letter email address (2006)
Thank you!

There are some people for whom growing a business is the exciting part. They can get excited about tax prep software if they see the opportunity.

I'm more like you (not one of those people). If I don't care about the problem, and (maybe more importantly) the users I'm solving it for, I won't solve it well.

Another point - not everything has to be a business - you can always work your day job and build adventure games on nights and weekends purely for fun.

Sometimes the best businesses come out of hobby projects. If not, whatever - it's fun and fulfilling.
I'll guess not much - since the climate models have been consistently wrong. But since Covid was politically weaponized in 2020 just as climate science was politically weaponized in the 1990s, I suppose we can learn something about Covid forecasters from their climate counterparts.
React Security Best Practices
Well, they did have a public beta stage for several months, which supposedly should have caught bugs like this one before general release
We're building something similar at Splitgraph [0], although we actually try to avoid reductive descriptors like "Git for data" and "GitHub for data." Forcing the Git workflow "for data" is the wrong approach, and we don't believe it's what analytics engineers actually want to use.

Our solution is a "data delivery network" [1] that looks like a big Postgres database with 40,000+ datasets in it. So you can connect to it [2] with any SQL client that is compatible with the Postgres wire protocol. You can query individual datasets, or join across them, as if they were tables in a Postgres database. Those datasets can be "live" (in which case we forward queries to the upstream data source, e.g. a government data portal), or they can be versioned snapshots called "data images." Data images are a lot like Docker images, and you can build them with declarative recipes called Splitfiles, all using our open source tool. [3] Then you can push the images to Splitgraph and query them alongside all the other data on the platform.

The public platform is mostly community data right now. Soon you'll be able to connect arbitrary upstreams to it (e.g. connect directly to a Mongo/Postgres/MySQL database by providing its read-only credentials in the web UI). As an example, we have a repository that forwards queries to the OxCOVID19 database, which is a Postgres database maintained by a lab at Oxford. [4]

We're also building an enterprise program for hosting private deployments of Splitgraph. We have a pilot program where customers can use Splitgraph as a data cataloging and governance solution for their internal company data. We've also raised a round of funding but haven't announced it yet. If anyone is interested in joining the pilot program, get in touch. You can also read more details about how we dogfood Splitgraph in our own analytics stack. [5]

I'm skipping Big Sur for at least a while. I only have a MacBook Pro 13 that I bought earlier this year when they came out with the KB refresh, Intel based. I have it because OSX is fine, but has a great Unix under it, and I can run VMware if I need real Linux or Windows. It's a great tool, I'm in IT. They're durable, solid, and work great. But that Dell XPS is really tempting. My desktops are windows.

Yes! People do, in fact, buy codes.

I've spent almost zero time on "Oh By" in the last 24 months as things at rsync.net have been very busy. So, we haven't made a sale in months due to lack of publicizing it.

However, I think there are unknown, emergent use-cases out there for "Oh By" that I hope people will discover. I am going to pivot back to "Oh By" next year ...
As you know, there are many legitimate needs to publish naked pictures of your body to the entire internet, but most people want to keep them private. Defaults matter.

What makes this hard is that email is responsible for too much crap. No single user interface should carry:

1. Party invites

2. Private messages to your spouse, therapist, pastor, etc.

3. Marketing messages

4. Password recovery requests

5. Financial transactions

We've just shoved them all into email because it's there.
> When people are given the choice, they are choosing to go out in the world, risks and all.

That could change pretty fast when hospitals have to start sending seriously ill home to die. That would still only directly affect a small minority, but the same people who feel safer than they should now would then start feeling more in danger than they should. There's a certain irony in how a lot of people think that the rules are unnecessary exactly because they do work.
I agree the wording may sound agressive but the meaning is stiln the same:

Most outlets and people who criticized trump in the name of being more "reasonable" or "presidential" or more "intelligent" ended behaving with the same tribalism and arrogance by insulting and laughing at his user base. To the point of not even realizing that by fighting and insulting him, they were alienating their user base more than it was already and actually helping him being elected.

Thats what i wanted to point out with they got what they deserved: democrats and media arrogantly thinking they were "so smart" but having stances that gave the opposite result. In the end trump was the only one openly owning completly a "tribal" behavior, the only one not hypocritical about that, and probably the only one who knew what he was doing.

P.s. Policing words and arguments on a forum like here or reddit is the same essence: you think you improve the level of the debate but actually people who stay are all the same polite makov chains that doesnt want to offend each other and agree, and the angry disagreeing ones just leave to the_donald or the manosphere. So much for improvement..

Fight and provocation are good and should be in the open. Its the only think that make people move. Read about how the google culture when it started.
It doesn't auto install or show up as a badge notification though, so you kind of have to go looking to find it.

The exception though is that once a patch update for your current OS is available, it gets hidden by the Big Sur upgrade prompt, and you have to click into the non-obvious "more info" link to find that. Which seems like a bad UI choice, if you're going to force me into the upgrade then do it, but if you're going to let it be lighter touch then don't have it block out the other updates like that.
Entirely reasonable of OP to posit bad faith on your part, especially given how you've reacted and the way you constructed a strawman to get upset about.

One thing I was surprised with during this pandemic is how much weight I lost from not eating processed food. I ate the same amount of food but cooked myself and healthier. I lost almost 10 lbs just by not eating processed food. It's quite scary to think how our diet in America leans so heavy to processed food (deli meat, our bread has sugar, etc). I highly recommend what others are mentioning to eat frozen veggies and chicken breast that are super easy to meal prep and cost effective (Costco sell these at ridiculously low price). It won't be as fast as calorie counting but cutting 50 calories a day for two years can cut 15 lbs.
