Ask HN: Email hosting for low-usage multiple domains?
Does anyone else have a few domains for different projects that they send/recv e-mails from? I'm looking for the best way to do this in 2021.

Fastmail ($50/year) unlimited domains aliased to 1 account looks like best in class based on comments in this thread-- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22789401 .
Migadu (now $90/year) was formerly the go-to based on its old prices. Then they auto-renewed my annual subscription without notification at about 2x the price. Looking to move away in case they do that again.
Mailbox.org (1€/month/e-mail) looks promising.
Zoho mail ($1/month/e-mail) also looks promising.

Another option is FOSS self-hosted, which actually looks more safe in 2021. The major problem is finding an IP that's not blacklisted.

Mailcow: https://mailcow.github.io/mailcow-dockerized-docs/ . Completely dockerized. 6gb ram required (VPS in the ~$40/month range)
Mailinabox: 1gb ram required (VPS ~$10/month). Same problem with having to deal with blacklisting, much less ram required though. Can also use dockerized version.

Thinking about software engineering (2020)
> The standards we hold must hold for everyone.

I don't think that is the standard at all. Those who represent the voice of others are held to a greater standard.

Plenty of every day citizens can cheat on their significant other and aren't going to lose their job because of it. Any scandal can destroy an individual's career when in a position of authority, judges, chiefs, politicians, etc.

Plenty of every day citizens can go on vacation during the pandemic and be fine. Politicians who do this will have their position revoked (look to Canada for easy examples recently).

There is and always should be a double standard for those who represent the voice of many vs the single individual.
What downside does China have? Nobody will stand up and do anything to stop them.
The EU has clout but is unlikely to do anything that might threaten investment ties between China and the EU. Investment (and the promise of jobs) takes priority over human rights concerns:

Thank you! Your last point - about tension - is an interesting one - it's the one where I found it hardest to comment. I think this was because the genre wasn't one that I normally read, and I didn't really know whether the degree of tension was appropriate for the anticipated readership. Someone else who looked at the same book said "He doesn't suffer enough" and I found myself agreeing. I guess this is an example of the difference between me - who was in effect looking for technical plot consistency - and a professional editor who is aware of the genre conventions and reader expectations.

Black Hat? This is basic OSINT, so the application of a bit of common-sense observation and rummaging around.
It's certainly not the same argument it was, but there are still quite a few theories that involve genetics, epigenetics, or familial gene competition.

For instance, that certain gene combinations that may present advantages for not the individual, but the individuals mother, grandparents, or other family members.
93% of surveyed geneticists and behavioral psychologists claim that the black-white IQ gap has a non-zero genetic component. Do you know better than them?

Also, may i make a devilish point: why are you concerned? Don't we the free people win by making the "free country" status more of an elite thing?

>I have a concealed carry permit in a state that allows open carry.... Nor would I draw my weapon without real fear for my life

Does it make you sad or disappointed you feel the need to carry a gun in your regular life just to feel safe and secure in your society?

I've lived ~20 years in Canad and ~20 in Australia. My sister has lived ~20 in Australia and ~20 in the UK. The idea we would ever, ever feel the need to carry a gun is preposterous.

The number of handguns either of us has seen in those countries in our life is exactly zero.

I've spent time in 55 countries around the world, including almost all of Latin America and Africa, and I have never once felt the need for a firearm.

The idea of living in a place where I feel the need to carry a lethal weapon is extremely hard to grasp. It's hard for me to read your comment and not think something is very wrong with a society when regular, peaceful and intelligent citizens feel the need to carry a firearm.

FWIW, I own a hunting rifle here in Canada (.30/06, Remmington 700) and I enjoy hunting very much.

The reality is that significant part of population is stupid. Effective gun control as it is implemented in many countries aims to exclude stupid people from owning guns as much as possible by requiring that you have real, strong, certified need to carry a gun.

People who own a gun in such countries know exactly why they own a gun. In any of those countries you would very unlikely be allowed a permit.

For example, here in Poland there are only two reasons for getting firearms permit: constant, hightened danger to your own life or when your actual job is to protect other people. In both cases the reason must be proven and documented.

Harsh Truths That Will Make You a Better Person

But positioning as such doesn't necessarily make it true. Just because Haskell isn't advertised as the "data transformation" language doesn't mean it does better or worse than any other language at it.

In my personal experience of using Clojure, Haskell and Python for data transformation and parsers, Haskell does the best job for both. So this is the second time you hear it ;) Anyway, we are just throwing anecdata at each other. Personal stories are still useful for programming experiences since "which is better" isn't that easy to measure. I would be happy to hear more about your experiences with Clojure.
He should try. His cheap ass will hire some terrible outsource firm like HCL who will take 18 months to build the most buggy, unusable pile of junk.
But that’s how treaties work. We’re just upset we’re not the ones breaking treaties anymore. Ironically, the treaty was signed because the British pretended they were in a Position to unilaterally re-negotiate a previous treaty obligating them to return HL.

The Chinese had no obligation to sign the 1980s treaty to get HK back, and were hardly intimidated by the UK’s 1980s military might to do so (I mean an British admiral said about the Falkland war: “if not for a few defective fuses we would have lost”. Against Argentina. Pretty pathetic)

The UK was delusionaly saying it might not give HK back to commies (understandable sentiment, surely) and the commies signed something to let the Brits save face.

About HK:

There’s nothing we can do.

Deluding ourselves that there is weakens us

We must contain the CCP, but HK is not it.
China thinks that HK affairs are "internal affairs".
We probably need to return California to Mexico by your logic.
Invented things --- like punk music -- according to the author Mark Fisher:

"... to the detriment of innovation, boredom itself has been has been radically transformed by the advent of digital media. Today the slightest hint of restlessness or pocket of spare time tends to have us reaching for our smartphones -- and yet the possiblity of real boredom, and the urgent desire to escape it, has historically acted as an important cultural catalyst. For punks in the 1970s, the "dreary void of Sundays, the night hours after television stopped broadcasting, even the endless dragging minutes spent waiting in queues or for public transport" were viewed as a "challenge, an injunction and an opportunity". Nowadays, "in the intensive 24/7 environment of capitalist cyberspace, the brain is no longer allowed any time to idle; instead, it is inundated with a seamless flow of low-level stimulus". In compulsively engaging with frivolous online content that we recognize -- even celebrate -- as tedious, we sorely limit ourselves. We have arrived at a situation in which "no one is bored, everything is boring" ..."

From Hauntings by Tom Graham, a review of K-PUNK by Mark Fisher, in TLS, May 24, 2019, p. 32
The reason this is happening now is recent US events have shown Chinas subversion of the Democratic Party and 2020 election were successful, and they can safely act now that Trump is sidelined.

> What can an individual do to help Hong Kongers? Any suggestions?

How many firearms, and ammo you can buy, and how many politicians you can lobby? Even if you are a single digit millionaire, that's just enough to arm, and feed no more than a single lightly armed battalion for a few months.

I see other option than a military solution, either limited, or not.

Even if any Western power decide on half hearted piecemeal solution like smuggling weapons into to China, and rile up the populace, it will only bleed China a very, very little. China easily endure waging a civil war the size of Syrian, and continue growing economically like if nothing happened.

I suppose efficiency could then be measured in CFM instead of TDP, with a fan rated to deliver a certain amount of CFM to power things.

Then in large server farms you'd basically need specialized HVAC engineers to design them, and admins with earplugs and goggles trained on the safety protocols of walking through 40mph wind tunnels through rows of server racks. "Server crash" could refer to an accident navigating the wind currents.
Tell HN: Agent 24
Twenty years ago, I read about soviet agent "24" in Germany, which was mentioned by former soviet spy in his memories. I spent 20 years trying to find him.

I had very few hints, collected over years:

* Soviet spy wrote that he was very proud, and we will very surprised when we will found the spy.

* Germans tried to find agent "24", they found some soviet agents, but they were unable to find agent 24, search is stopped.

* Russians told that spy memories contains nothing that will compromise agent, so don't bother to search it.

* I made assumption that "24" is not a name, but age of a (young) woman.

* In post-war Germany, scarcity of food forced German woman to exchange sex for food. In some cases, children are born. I knew about 1 case, at least, when such children was moved by father to USSR, and raised by KGB.

* Agent 24 can be daughter of a woman, born by mother at age of 24, so her _brother_ is agent of KGB in USSR then, while sister is his contact in Germany. Thus "24" is not a name of the agent (match).

With last hint in mind, I stuck at photo of two politics. I looked at their ears, their faces, their age, etc. and realized that they are brother and sister. I looked at dates of birth: 1952, 1954 (match). I looked at date of birth of their mother: 1928 (match). I was shocked (match).

So, I found her. Unfortunately, she died in 2011. However, their children are still alive.

The only problem left to solve is: why Germany stopped looking for this agent? Germans are pedantic. Maybe, they found her and used her for their own play.

first of all, plenty of democrats own guns. not nearly as many as republicans, but I wouldn't be surprised if the gap closed a lot after controlling for urban vs rural living.

if anything is odd, it's that konjin just made a case for why it would be rational for democrats to push gun control and disarmament of the police.
>I doubt even big technical publishers have much if anything in the way of technical editors

hence my second paragraph. I figured the first paragraph shot down the idea of technical editor as a career instead of a position that one just lucked into, and the second paragraph explained that by understanding the one type of company you might expect to find the most technical editors actually doesn't use technical editors but instead normal editors.
Parallels of vague kind maybe, but it seems like you're way too close to a false equivalency for comfort here.

The language is extremely error prone. It's like they looked at Bash and thought "hmm, too safe".

Everything is a string, even lists are just semicolon-separated lists. The argument expansions rules for calling functions are literally impossible to remember. All variables are implicitly defined as empty strings. Typos silently break things. `if` is completely broken. The separation of the configure step from the build step is needlessly confusing and makes some things impossible. This is just scratching the surface.

It does have a couple of redeeming qualities: they have a pretty great versioning mechanism which allows them to make breaking changes. Though inexplicably they haven't used it to fix any fundamental flaws, only little tweaks. And most importantly it has been around for ages so loads of the many many weird C++ compilation knobs have been solved.

They are referring to that fact that Trump is a member of the government that his supporters railed against. Admittedly not wholly fair statement as US is a congressional system, not a parliamentarian with clear cut government and opposition.

There are decades of academic work on police abolition, books upon books and papers upon papers. Not everyone who says "defund the police" is an abolitionist, but many are.

As far as I can tell, there's no concrete replacement proposed for section 230, just a general wish for less protection for these platforms. Complete police and prison abolition is a much more thorough and considered philosophy.

I disagree, most people just want to be on the same network/platform as their contacts and most people don't care about extra bells and whistles but a small niche is out there that actually does.
Nonsense. A former Democratic staffer employed by Facebook censored the breaking news story about Hunter Biden's laptop on the eve of the election which we now know to be factually accurate. This is a literal and recent example of what the person you accused of being malicious talked about. We all know that if it was a smear against the Trump campaign instead, that this would've never happened. You must be able to see the double standard at work.
Many of those communication barriers and interfaces are a feature, not an obstacle.
