My understanding is that operating on a frequency requires that you be transmitting on it, not whether the device is capable of transmitting on it.

For instance, you can own one of those cheap handheld Baofeng radios that is capable of transmitting on all sorts of frequencies, so long as you never transmit (and you don't listen to any forbidden frequencies)

Happy to be corrected, but all the resources I've dug up say that it doesn't matter whether the device is capable of transmitting or not.

Question: beyond a certain degree, why would you try to save money on email that much? Email is pretty much the weakest link for most people from a security perspective (ie password recovery), so I would want my email provider to have enough resources to properly secure the thing.

What are people using these providers for, and do you feel like they secure your mailbox enough?

I don't think there's anyone that can actually keep their system abuse-free. Things like Messenger certainly have a lot of spam.
I personally feel that calling Proton Mail or Tutanota end-to-end encrypted is sort of misleading. Sure, they may have the contents of your mailbox encrypted but in transit they can see your email in plain text and so can the recipient's mail server. If you desire E2EE I highly recommend using GPG or Signal.
Yes, and I love it here. It doesnt mean you have to accept all the problems „because everywhere else is worse“ - this is the worst whataboutism there is.

I have a fun bee story to tell. Last week I was at a small cafe with a garden at the rear where they keep some hives (set back from where customers can sit)

Anyway we were sitting down enjoying a coffee when we suddenly hear this loud sharp buzz sound whipping above us, and it's someone flying a small drone, doing flips etc.

Two seconds later this monstreous swarm of bees emerges from their hives and basically engulfs the garden leaving everyone screaming and fleeing.

It might have been a coincidence, but the owners reckoned the drone probably spooked them, the huge buzzing sound might have sounded like a hornet or some other threat
Incorrect. The United States was a nation, until recently, very recently.

There was a time when boys in Normandy left their guts out on the beaches there, so other Americans could live in peace. They were not dying for a geographic area.

What makes a nation is the belief in personal sacrifice for public good.

Look at us now. A pandemic of toxic individualism, a place where public service is no longer a virtue and is being openly villainized instead. "You are part of the Deep State, aren't you, boy, infringing on ma' freedoms, yeah?"

To be fair, this is NOT a US problem. The Western world seems to be rapidly devolving, quickly jettisoning values and social norms that are not only characteristic of a country, nation (whatever), but a civilization.

Not to mention the concept of democracy, which is probably not going to survive this decade here. A place where half the population lives in an alternate reality cannot last. A place where working for the government is not "public service", but a grifting operation, and anything higher up there is just a vestibule, a waiting area on a plumpy gig for a cartel you helped enrich by screwing over the citizens.

We are neither a nation, nor a country.
> You are not showing me empathy in interpreting my comment :D

Sorry, certainly guilty of that. It actually is interesting phenomena of internet comments and yes, I mostly sound quite abrasive when I reread my comments. I think this is a phenomenon of skipping empathy for internet comments in the believe that the other side won't take it personally anyway and it is mostly not meant to be antagonistic.

You are correct that it can have an impact on behavior because AIs are modeled to respond naturally and that it can have an effect on interpersonal communication. I think I need to print a t-shirt for when I visit an English speaking country: "Sorry for my expression, I learned English on the internet".
What is this aerogel thing, and this "capillary wick"?

Not sure you understand my point. Imagine, for example, the industry was poorly regulated and filled with cowboys. Lots of workers were getting killed in accidents and the government made stricter safety regulations to protect them but it also increased the difficulty of building wind turbines. Is that really a bad thing? Should they sacrifice human life to get maximum speed towards carbon neutrality?

None of the cheap USB SDR dongles have transmit ability.

The reason being that they are based on a cheap Receive Only chip set.

Those that do have TX are much more complex and expensive.

For the same reason airport announcements are usually voiced by women. For the same reason satnav is voiced by women. For the same reason language learning tapes are voiced by women. People (both men and women) are more comfortable listening to women.

I suspect you suspect it is because of assistant being women stereotype, not it's not that, and no need to look for social injustice everywhere.

Yeah, to make sense of complex systems they need to be well structured and modularized, and visuals have a lot to contribute here. If you can't fit your structure comfortably in a diagram, your structure is too complex for most people to manage.

Further down the line you stop needing to know where you are (global view, understanding), and you only need to deal with implementation: actually doing what you need to do. Implementation can be often very complex on its own too, that's why algorithms are so scary at the beginning... and text is a better tool here. There's not much more structure to distill, and some parts are tricky, and you have edge cases and you often need to get your hands dirty. You need to keep all this complexity in mind at the same time anyway, and after you are done you can treat the implementation as a black box. So text is superior here.

That's how we manage complexity. Now we only need tools that can represent it better. But maybe it's not even visual programming languages, but rather visual system "structurers"? There are other parts of programming that could use better visual cues, and visual editors for visual stuff (colors, shapes, borders, etc.) will always be relevant, but those are all very different concerns.
No, it expires after they view it.

Oh yes, I overlooked that. I would have thought it would be the only meaning, or at least the first one.
They are the ones slowing down or preventing pretty much everything I would expect to be labelled "social progressivism", so I have no clue what you are on about.
True, but from what I understand the Europeans would probably have won anyway. In 1500 AD, indigenous Americans had about the same level of technological development that Europeans had had in 1500 BC, so I suspect that unfortunately even had diseases not played a role, it probably would just have been a matter of time before the Europeans managed to bring over enough people to overrun the Americas. It would have taken longer but I doubt that the indigenous Americans would have been able to adopt European technology fast enough and on a large enough scale to beat the Europeans back.

Now on the other hand, if Europe had suffered something like 50%+ death from American diseases while indigenous Americans suffered much lower death tolls from European disease - in other words, the reverse of what actually happened - then I figure that all bets would have been off. In that timeline maybe the indigenous Americans would have had enough room to maneuver that they would have been able to adopt European technologies in time to defend their lands.

I really enjoyed the whole process of running my own mail setups, configuring Postfix or OpenSMTPd to do clever aliases and transports, setting up CARP failover relays, managing DNS records, experimenting with different SPAM-filtering techniques, SSL, IMAP, mailing lists, the works. It taught me a lot about networking and security and everything a good sysadmin should know.

I find it sad that that‘s pretty much a waste of time now for most use cases.

Minimal DMARC reports would be useful. The problem that I see for small businesses is the cost keeps them from even trying it, so they can have problems that never get surfaced.

As an example of where I think the current value propositions are bad, DMARCian charges $240/year for the most basic plan that includes 100k compliant messages in a month. Most small businesses won’t do half that in a year. You probably have good stats to grok that.

I get it on the support thing. I pretty much never use support, so I guess that’s why I always feel like everything is too expensive. I’m always stunned to see how many employees at smaller tech companies are support. Sometimes I feel like I’m subsidizing users that are too lazy to learn.

The + isn't completely helpful if the intent of using aliases is related to spam. All spammers know how these work and can figure out the main address by discarding the + and whatever comes after it. The dot has been somewhat of a problem to use where it seemed as if Gmail allowed other people to create the same address with dots (I don't recall the details since this was a long, long time ago).

A serious question. Why didn't the opposite happen? Why wouldn't the arriving Europeans drop like flies after encountering foreign pathogens thus killing off the entire conquest?
It’s a very good possibility that the reason we think dragons lived in caves was because there are so many cave bear skeletal remains in caves throughout Europe.

Imagine finding a 12 foot long skeleton in a cave, or just a skull of an impossibly large animal, of course it’s a dragon!
I concur, though most of the traits you mention are not problem-specific.

When putting a language into "your toolbox" you indeed SHOULD focus on "popularity, maintainability, being able to hire."

However, when picking which of the languages you have learnt to apply to a given problem you need to know their relative strengths.

Most of the strengths you mention help you pick the "best in class" language. But only the problem can tell you which subset of langauges you are picking from. Sometimes the best possible tool for your problem is going to be unpopular.

I consider the usage of Roundcube for the UI a downside. I've tried Roundcube myself and was not really satisfied. It is difficult for to describe what exactly is wrong with the UI but somehow the usability is not really good. Outlook (web), GMail, or Yahoo Mail all feel better to me.

What I'd really miss would the integration of an external adress book (Google), because I wouldn't want to duplicate all my addresses.
Your conclusion is spot on! I've been looking for providers that are lower on the cost for more than one mailbox with custom domains and being outside surveillance jurisdictions.

At my last employer I set up a simple internal wiki for which I used Cherry Tree.

The idea was to to collect the best solutions and strategies for recurring problems or edge cases, background knowledge for new and seasoned employees to understand the reasoning behind specific processes, a link database, form templates and general IT self-help advice.

It was somewhat helpful when the most-experienced co-worker was missing for months due to illness.

Unfortunately the idea never truly got off the ground and was abandoned after I quit.

The thing with phone jammers is that they actively flag "I am here" and are easy to locate.

Because phone jammers cause serious problems to the phone companies, they have teams in the field actively tracking them down. And the phone base stations run software which automatically flag that they are present and log the co-ordinates.

I feel if we were all blacksmiths in 15th century and were asked to shoe a horse.
Using today's "UI-mania" (a divine mania maybe ?) would be akin to:

0) Yes sir I can shoe your horse. Will take some time because:

1) I'm first going to make my own metal. Right ? Cause it will be the "best-metal" ever !

2) but you know getting those iron-ore sand is tedious, I'm going to spend a 'little bit' of time to just optimise the mining-process of the sand.

3) Hmm this basic steel (or iron) is no good. To really get that horse going I'm quickly going to come up with a better alloy one that is dynamic, self-healing and glows green when orcs are near.

4) Finally got all the pieces... Bring that horse he is about to get NikeAirpumps for horses.

5) Damnn these nails are not perfect or optimal.. I really should spend some time and come up with a better nail... hmm maybe I can investigate geological-processes and grow my own mountain so the shape of the ore is already nail-like... Yup that sounds good.

6) 1000000 Sun cycles later: Sir please bring the horse around back, we are ready to shoe the horse now.

7) Sir ? You there ?
Vote for a party that makes medical universities a priority! There are laughably many german students studying medicine in other EU states and coming back, because current central system is overwhelmed by applicants and there are so little seats.
At the beginning, there were irregularities in her CV. Now she has a recently unearthed history of plagiarism in her book and the party tried its best to avoid confession of any wrongdoing.

Also, there was a gender-related shitshow in Green primaries in Saarland. Basically the country leadership of the Green party hates the idea that a female #1 was voted out of the Saarland list three times in a row, thus giving an opportunity for a male candidate to lead the list (contrary to the Green rule that odd-numbered positions in a list, including #1, of course, must go to women). Saarland is small but still pretty prominent in German politics, generating a lot of federal-level politicians. And a lot of attention, because the story is pretty bizarre. The next chosen woman for #2, Irina Gaydukova, had a very bad interview that basically showed her unable to address very simple question and cast doubt on her ability to speak German at a professional level. It reminded some voters thad IdPol is sort-of tacky and the Green party is very deeply into IdPol.

Baerbock does not seem to be a very strong candidate personally. She was basically chosen over Habeck because she was of the right gender, not because of any obvious political advantage over him. But Germany has had 16 years of female chancellorship by now, so the idea of having a woman run the country is no longer particularly new or attractive.

But to be honest, all the leading candidates are fairly boring, perhaps with the exception of Olaf Scholz, who nevertheless leads a very dysfunctional party (SPD) and does not really have a shot.

So it is a fight between equals in mediocrity.
That's a fair point and thanks for raising it. Diverse audience was just one example I had thought of at the time of writing. I agree that language shouldn't necessarily be "dumbed down" but equally, overly complex words can make the message difficult to understand. Written text on the web can be challenging to understand due to lack of tone, sarcasm, etc.

I appreciate the downvotes above as I didn't frame my message clearly, which likely came across as rude. My apologies GP.

I was mostly interested in WHY GP chose those words over others. I appreciate learning new words, as I did with OP, but my understanding is HN and other web forums is an area for chat rather than a novel.
