People who send mail through an email deliverability service such as Amazon's SES or sendgrid will get hassled if their bounce rate is too high because that's a sign they aren't maintaining their lists.

A bounce is more effective than a spam complaint at pouring sand in the gears of the email senders and configuring your email server to bounce the messages would accomplish that.

It doesn't do anything though to the person who is subscribing you.

I've been drilling into my kids' heads that far too many people think they are the smart ones by being the naysayers and by saying something won't work. It's lazy and it's useless. It's easy to pooh-pooh an idea and point out its flaws.

The smart and effective people are the ones who say "How can we get this to work?" That takes creativity and thoughtfulness. I have indoctrinated my kids to say "How can we get this to work" instead. I hope it takes hold as they grow older.
Interesting. I would think a treaty requires all parties to it to think it's a treaty. Any idea where I can read a bit more about the fundamentals?

But regardless, not every agreement is ...

> legally-binding

That term has a different, and as I understand, more nebulous meaning under international law?
Modem latency was crap. That was another reason a 64K single channel ISDN connection felt so much faster, even though the bandwidth wasn't that much more. ISDN latency was wayyy better since it was digital: 10 to 20ms vs 200ms minimum with an analog modem.

Some early ISPs I worked with started with 56K leased lines. The latency there was like night-and-day compared to a 56k modem.

I promise I’m actually curious and not trying to be difficult: is this the same as asking “what problem does this solve” or something different? I’d love a concrete example but I know that might be hard without using a real topic.
A very good article, especially as I am often the "that won't work" person and I am aware of that and want to change. Only critique in the example at the end felt like everyone was already the "let's make it work" group without the "that won't work" person pulling down the bunch, I was hoping to hear an example of overcoming an "that won't work" person and turning them into a problem solver too!
I like how they had to translate "dumpster" into British.
The issue I’ve run across is the passive aggressive approach (aka what some people often mean re:tact) can delay having the direct conversation and then people spend the next 6 months noodling around hypotheticals until the original objector is worn down and says fine - and then the project fails because sure enough, it didn’t actually work. Seen it at least twice.

Also seen the ‘actually it was fine, the objector was just in a bad mood and couldn’t see past their own prior experience and was being a pain in the ass’ more times than I can count.

Which is why hopefully you have senior leadership that can see through the BS and get things moving in a workable direction.
That argument isn't true. Deflationary currency can destabilize governments, not the economy. Econonomies fail because they're run by incompetent governments, who spend more than they can afford.

Bitcoin is not guaranteed to be deflationary. It's deflationary when the economy is growing. It's inflationary when the economy is shrinking. Deflation will slow down economy, and inflation will accelerate economy. It's a stable self-correcting system, which would correct itself to match the average economic growth globally.
a really good tap won't even have a perceptible loss if they're doing it right, it'll be indistinguishable when the link is first brought up (assuming you're renting dedicated dark strands) from just some older fiber with a very slightly higher dB per km loss figure. Modern singlemode for inter-city use can be 0.03 to 0.07 dB/km better than old stuff from 15, 20, 23 years ago.

if you're paying for lit L2 transport service between two sites then all bets are off, you don't get to see the underlying optical characteristics except for the customer hand off port on each side, and the carrier can of course just mirror an entire port to some capture entity.
I hope you hire great people that other companies miss, and hope you don't underpay them due to the competition being unfairly discriminatory.
I think your question and these recommendations are an attempt to treat the symptom not the cause. If you have trouble communicating with other people I think part of it is that you are out of touch with yourself. In an attempt to shield yourself from the judgment of others you limit the way you communicate with other people. Consider therapy, meditation, medication, exercise or some other ways of opening your mind and unraveling any self-criticism that may exist within you. I admit, I'm reading a lot from this question, probably because I asked the same one myself many years ago and only in the last few have finally found real answers.
indeed i found a bug, had same id on 2 elements :/ i fixed it.
Well, that certainly explains why he quotes the lyrics of O Fortuna incorrectly! I was really scratching my head when I got to that part.. and then came here to see if I was crazy. Guess I wasn't!
Network size is a virtue too. Specially for things that benefit from network effects!
That was my original response, but the author's point was about proposing potential solutions rather than affirming bad solutions. It isn't about good team players by being yes-men. It is about creating an environment where people are comfortable with proposing solutions that may work. Notice that the author was talking about redirecting the conversation rather than being agreeable.

Are there times when someone has to say TWW? Sure. But that should be reserved for situations where it isn't possible to redirect the conversation along more productive avenues or a potential solution is being ignored in favour of one that just won't work.
There are views on all ends of the scale. Most, even conservatives want some police reform.
Yes, so why mention cURL at all?
thx :)

but i guess its not high quality enough.
I'll tell you the tale of Fred Figgers,
The baby was found by trash diggers,
He just wasn't wanted,
The kids often taunted,
But his confidence only grew bigger.

I have too much time on my hands.
I have never more gleefully told more recruiters with shitty jobs that the jobs they're peddling are, in fact, shitty... and it's amaaaaaaaaazing.
I was speaking to everyone, not you specifically. I basically agree with what you wrote, except the part about "top of society".

You have a group of good friends. A group of friends that genuinely cares about each other as individuals as well as the health of the group as a whole. One of you is better at leading, or mediating disputes, is calm under stress, or has a car or a bigger house or more money. The group deciding/allowing this person should generally lead, or is the one that drives everyone around, or pays for more things, doesn't mean they are "at the top of the group". There is simply no need for that. It's simply a group being both loving and smart, one that understands fairness isn't about bean counting, and it was luck in the first place that gave one member those advantages.

A healthy, unselfish, "egalitarian" group or family will naturally, without ever having knowing about “socialism” or “communism”, will end up embodying "from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs". This ideal does not imply allowing anyone to take advantage of the others.

In fact I'll claim that all healthy families embody this kind of socialistic ideal. Whether and how this can scale to a society is debatable, but we should have that debate honestly, and without being constrained by presupposing the current way of looking at things is somehow an absolute truth. People once thought that the divine right of kings was absolute truth. Or that white people were superior (even Lincoln believed this). See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26590540

One of my most favorite words is “solidarity”. I don’t think many people in this selfist day and age really knows what that means.
You can test this with zoom, as it will tell you the bitrate.
OK, but you are going to miss good people over silly IT stuff like this. Google made "techstop" because they want people focusing energy on real work not helpdesk self-support.
Sure, it is generally wise to keep your guard up when reading things on the internet (or any source). That's fair enough. But at the same time, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect HN posts to adhere to a higher standard. IMO HN is not the appropriate forum for pseudo-intellectual gotchas.
It's pretty close to a terrible response which is just the reason it won't work, such as "That'll take too long". Often it's a valid problem but one that can be solved except it shuts down the conversation by making it seem like a brick wall. If you don't immediately know how to solve the problem, it's hard to argue that "My intuition says we can probably find a way round that later".
I am utterly stunned by the threat which Daniel Stenberg reports on his blog, the link above, frightened actually because before I got very far trying to think of ways to register for a icloud address as a throwaway email account, I realised that the threat was accompanied by no less than screen shots presumably from the same person's phone and if those are from a iPhone I'm pretty sure that the metadata in those images could verify if that's a real active and device and network subscription linked icloud account.

The being HN I expect we automatically presume that everything is spoofed. Unfortunately having received death threats signed by the person's full name and someone identifiable in the media no less, I have to give it the possibility that that is the real person's name and icloud account identity and they simply don't care about anonymity because of having a completely dysfunctional mental condition. That's why this scared me. I'm becoming more and more aware of this kind of recklessness combined with the spectre of violence. Today in London in broad daylight a woman stabbed her victim amid a busy intersection crossing and carried on shouting at the victim "yeah I &ing stabbed you " over and over. Senses of proportion are long missing from broad society and I have started to think that like neurodegenerative diseases by the time we can't cover them up were done for.

Edit : the reason I'm thinking about neurodegenerative diseases I think is because our understanding of social behaviour is rooted in a very brief attention to studying the world when there were simply very many fewer humans around in any way at liberty to act on their individual volition. The scale of our race in the present day I believe already requires a complete re-evaluation of models of civil order.
Maybe Lightning will scale that well but it hasn’t been demonstrated yet. More importantly, that’ll push a lot of the properties people believe to be true to the banks in all but name most people would actually use.
It isn't true that something is necessarily worth what one pays for it. This assumption provides for a nice way to model economic transactions but it isn't always true. For instance, life saving heart surgery has a definite cost and it is worth far more to the recipient in some cases than what they pay for it. In the other direction I don't think that the cost of government services is worth what I pay for them since I think the U.S. government squanders far too much money on national defense.
That's a great idea but still doesn't let me see the markup as generated by Jekyll. I'm more interested in the form than the function in this instance.
Most Google offices have multiple wifi networks for simulating different kinds of degraded connectivity.
One other aspect - "It won't work and even if it would work we don't have the skills to execute it" has a strong prior probability. Easily 80% of attempts fail or are inappropriately skilled at the start.

That means someone saying consistently "this won't work" is (a) generally going to be right, so feel clever (b) very likely to miss all the big opportunities in life.
I'm not sure what to say. I guess if people are upset about dogs in the Bay Area (or somewhere else) then that's up to owners in that area to fix? I have no idea about dogs or dog owners in the USA, and presumably neither does user "diggan" who has also been commenting and getting downvoted to oblivion, but who nevertheless I have a feeling is a responsible dog owner. The thing we took issue with was the idea that dogs should at all times in be on the leash. IMO that's quite irresponsible (many need exercise) and counterproductive (a dog who is rarely exercised will probably be hyperactive when taken out). To me it just sounds like a few people have had some experiences with bad dog owners, but instead of thinking "Wow that guy was an asshole" you're presuming "all dog owners are assholes" which is ... weird.
There's a nice demo of using handsfree.js to drive a car in a racing game -- https://twitter.com/GoingHandsfree/status/140032233301379891...
I'd be surprised if there are any large players who don't encrypt everything e2e these days. (By e2e, I mean while data is in transit between datacenters.)

That's at least been the case at Google for something like a decade since the China hacks, the Snowden revelations, etc.

That said, I imagine there would be a big capacity crunch if all fibers transiting HKG were completely disrupted. As I understand it, HKG is primarily a stepping stone between SIN and TPE / NRT. There are comparably direct alternatives (e.g. MNL), but the capacity just isn't there yet.

(Networking often uses airport codes to describe metros, e.g. TPE for Taipei or NRT for Tokyo (Narita).)
1) sovereignty issues: The US does not want traffic to other countries in east asia going through a PRC controlled chokepoint.

2) traffic interception/analysis (basically everything that the Chinese equivalent of the NSA is presently capable of doing now, or plausibly might be doing in 5, 10, 15 years from now).

If you look at existing maps of submarine fiber cables coming out of WA, OR, CA going across the ocean, as the article points out, there's not many cables that land directly in hong kong first. The US, I think, wants to maintain the principle of landing cables in other places like south korea, japan, taiwan, singapore, malaysia, etc rather than straight to mainland china.
I love mycology. I would grow mushrooms in an instant if it were legal-- so this is important to me.
But of course, the real reason is that those ips are worth analytics $$$.
The biggest group outside of numerical computing in Julia land are the PL and systems people though? This includes type theorists [1], database folks [2], distributed systems people ([3] to name just one). There are also a fair number of compiler nuts, hence the existence of multiple projects [4][5] in this space. And this is before getting into things that bridge more than one of the domains above, e.g. [7] or [8].

FTR, I think it's fair to question whether numerical computing should have an outsized influence on the direction of the language. I also think it's a pretty fair comparison to point out how standardized and consistent the Rust governance process is compared to Julia's (the Rust RFC system is an exemplar here). That doesn't mean there is a dearth of PL and systems knowledge in the Julia community though.

As pointed out elsewhere in thread, if your users are untrusted and not under your direct administrative control (e.g. students in a dorm, hotel guests, et c) then default-allow-everything jeopardizes your upstream transit connection (e.g. if they start spamming).

You owe it to others on the internet to not allow everything out indiscriminately from untrusted strangers who happen to be on your access network. It’s just neighborly to make sure you’re not sending ddos or spam, for example.
Please don't put TOTP codes or back up codes in password managers. The whole point of 2FA is to have two factors protecting you. If you do that, you're back to 1 factor (your password manager master password).
The situation in Taiwan for human rights, freedom of the press, freedom of speech and government non-interference of the Internet is radically different than in mainland china.
Bitcoin is guaranteed to be deflationary as long as there’s a finite limit – if nothing else, lost keys would reduce the total over time.

More importantly, the people hawking it _really_ want it to be deflationary because that effectively makes them landed gentry getting richer without any effort on their part. After a decade of that being integral to the sales pitch I would be extremely surprised to see any major holder support breaking the deflationary model.
This is exactly what I was thinking. Saying "that won't work" with out a reason is a total dick move. But giving A reason can still spark ideas and conversation about how to work around that reason.

The Paradox of Particles
It's 3AM and I'm feeling sleepy, so I skimmed around.

When I look at book, I want to do some projects with (insert language) or get some insight with it. This book and a lot of programming books feel like reference material, which is not the point I guess? A lot of technical people forget insight. I could also be wrong.
okay i will add others ways to do it then
90% of "that won't work" that I've seen in my career is really just "I don't like your idea, I like my idea better" in disguise. If something really won't work because of some fatal flaw or because it's truly a stupid idea, then sure you need to speak up.

But if it's just a difference of opinion, then it's fine to propose another idea but it should remain a professional and technical discussion and agreement. But also be supportive of other ideas that aren't your own. I see too many people think other people's different ideas won't work because their ideas are better.
Decoding the Gurus Podcast (analysing the IDW and similar)
For microphones, it depends on the laptop.

I have the 2020 16" MacBook Pro, and I've tried the onboard mic array, AirPods (Pro and otherwise), a lamellar mike, and a Sony stereo mike that fits the hot shoe on my mirrorless camera.

The MacBook's onboard mic arrays give the best voice quality, so I've stuck with that. Arguably tied by the lamellar, but that just means I don't have to bother plugging it in, clipping it in place, making sure the battery is off, and then being tethered to my setup.

Much like the speakers, the microphones on this laptop are much better than they have any right to be.

The webcam, on the other hand, is a potato. I set up the mirrorless (α6500 for the curious) and some lighting, even though this is at least ten times the effort. It's worth it.
I love this footnote, it explains so much:

11 This is really not stealing. For the pure in heart, this should be thought of as conversion of raw data, and that the
parties so generously supplying these raw data are, unknowingly, cooperating in government work.
If you do a numerical simulation the result could be different than expected but without any easily visible error.
I'm obviously not sure what your daughter's situation is, and it sounds a bit more extreme than mine was, so take what I'm about to say not as advice but just as a different perspective.

When I was a kid, I hated the texture of most foods. They made me gag. It wasn't necessarily the taste, and I really did wish I could eat vegetables because I knew they were good for me. They even smelled and looked good. But I just couldn't get past the texture.

My pediatrician was "old school" and told my parents that I was just a picky eater and not to worry about it. Did I eat dairy? Fortified cereals? Eggs and meat? If so, I'd be fine. His point was that kids just need macronutrients, and the vitamins sprayed on cereal plus a daily supplement was more than enough.

Did I under eat as a result? Probably. Was I a little under weight? Yeah, but not dangerously. Honestly, it probably helped me long term because my weight has never been a problem as an adult. I'm also normal height.

So, did I have an eating disorder? I mean, in a way, maybe. But it was a reaction to a sensation. I didn't have any other reason past "it feels gross in my mouth." I'm not an expert, but doesn't disordered eating need to be accompanied by "wrong thinking?" I had no other cause or motivation for my picky eating.

> she seems physically healthy; she runs and plays and doesn't get hurt

Again, I'm not trying to give advice because I don't know the specifics, but maybe don't worry too much unless she is actually presenting as physically unhealthy. Like, unless blood work shows some nutritional deficiency that can't be corrected with a vitamin supplement.

> She has been seeing a therapist, but I wonder if she needs to see a different therapist

Again, I don't know your situation, so maybe she is seeing a therapist for other reasons - but I believe that being made to see a therapist as a kid for my picky eating would have made things worse, especially since I didn't have any other problems. It may have even made me believe I had other mental problems.

I just didn't like the texture of most foods. Even as a kid I realized how weird that was, and that I should be eating more foods. I just couldn't do it physically until I was older and outgrew it. Now I'm fine. I'm an adventurous eater. I eat anything and everything, and I'm quite healthy.

Side note, I have adult friends who I learned were even pickier eaters than me as kids and who never really grew out of it. They're all fine, if maybe a little underweight.

There's evidence suggesting that super restrictive diets can extend lifespan. Also, hey, some people are just a little bit eccentric and have weird eating habits. Maybe they don't need to be "fixed." ymmv.
OK, I've been using the phone for audio, if I switch back to the mike, what is your prediction?

I'll try it out on Monday.
