Ask HN: Book/article recommendations for email marketing written by founders?
I'm looking for advice on how to sell, activate, retain and engage users and prospects with an email campaign. It could be a book section or a small passage with relevant insights. I'm interested in reading about strategy, tactics, psychology, etc. from a practitioner.
Noticeably absent from this analysis is the humongous shadow banking sector.
> Landfills are mostly just "lets push the problem forward and have the next generation deal with it". Yes, there is a lot of space we could use to fill up with trash, but everything is finite.

What timespan are we talking about here? Literally the next generation? Or a few hundred years from now? With the available space in the US I'm leaning towards the latter. With that in mind and recognizing the net present value of landfill space a few hundred years from now is close to zero, I can definitely get behind "lets push the problem forward and have the next generation deal with it".

Additionally, if you’re in the Apple ecosystem, they introduced custom email domains for iCloud this month with iOS 15 with their cheapest iCloud+ plan for 0.99
Having it transactionally linked would be more elaborate imo. Here they’re just detecting an order and storing it.

They might be using this order to show what you’ve ordered recently on results or use it as suggestions on Google Shopping.
The iPhone is your house -- you own that. The HOA is Apple -- the people who make the rules. The trucks and warehouses are the servers and the internet.

Epic already runs a store they don't need the app store to distribute their apps and do payments. They're only required because Apple gives them no other option.
Yeah, because we're only talking about what you want not the general you.
I'd rather pay for the nice one to be honest. So I guess we can't just have one connector.

When Apple came up with Lightning the USB-C spec was still years in the future.
True but this is complicated for users to do themselves.. And also complicated for distributions to create, sign, and distribute a "universal" or no-host-only initramfs that will boot any supported configuration. Plus that universal initramfs is quite a lot larger than the more compact host-only initramfs.

It should be possible to automate writing out a new fs-verity "boot" directory containing the locally-signed files we care about, and having the signing regime enforced by a distro signed bootloader. Like dm-verity Android images, the Merkel tree is signed by asymmetric key pair, with the private key tossed immediately after successfully creating and signing the tree, with the public key being exposed wherever convenient.
I noticed some mixes it makes but it has talk shows, podcasts etc thrown in and I'm really not into that.

Also, because it has basically ruined my music preferences, despite me telling it what I want to be recommended, it makes recommendations for "Dua Lipa" and "Doja Cat". Nothing against either of them, but not really what I was looking for.
I mean sure but you can’t get over the need to have a two way pipe of some kind to pass events server <-> client. Like no matter what you’ve got two balls of state with bidirectional relationships between them.

Thanks for the link, super interesting to watch. Over the years as a programmer I've picked up knowledge about web accessibility from a mechanical, standards/implementation focused point of view, but this video is helping me realize that my understanding has been lacking a level of depth and empathy for the real people using these tools.

The HOA forces you to use their power and fiber, so in that case sure. But if you could get power and fiber directly from the TV manufacturer or someone else, then the HOA doesn't need a cut.

In this case, the TV manufacturer already has all that infrastructure and they use it in neighborhoods without an HOA. It would be no cost to you or the HOA for you use it but the HOA just doesn't allow it. For obvious reasons, of course, because then they wouldn't get their cut.

Guix isn't exactly an operating system though, it's a package manager, like apt on Debian.

I think the reason the Guix page calls it an "operating system" is for the same reason Stallman gets annoyed when people say they're using a "Linux operating system" instead of a "GNU/Linux operating system", since Linux is just one component, and not the actual "OS".

Not sure why this has to be so confusing. IMO, the homepage should just say it's a package manager, and note that they also offer a Linux distro based on it.
I think Apple is also risking what this all looks like to lawmakers. Lawmakers who currently seem to be in a frenzy around anti-trust and/or anti-competitive behavior.
The TPM 2.0 spec has the ability to duplicate keys from one TPM to another for this type of use case. It of course requires the key policy to allow for duplication, so you have to plan ahead of time, but it is possible.

I did the same when I worked on Google Ads; I felt it was important for me to have the full ad experience. It was easier back in the early 2000s though, before the Web ad ecosystem got so horrible.

Now I block ads and trackers with great zeal. Google's most of all. Surveillance capitalism is bad for almost everyone. Advertising is a mind virus.
No, the computer isn’t monolithic. The car will still drive even if infotainment and autopilot computers melted. Afaik there’s Infotainment, Autopilot, BMS, and Drive computers/controllers.

I've found that the vast majority of stakeholders want a dashboard either to (1) spend other people's money and feel important or (2) create opportunities for multiple "version of the truth" and thus prepare multiple narratives to pick and personally gain from when needed. Middle managers would rather reserve the right to say X dashboard has a metric that doesn't reconcile with Y other reliable source, than to actually collaborate with competent analysts and build a holistic info platform. We need to stop casting such a wide net and selling the dream of a glamorous all-knowing BI tool and instead, service analytics on a case by case basis. Over time this can inform practical dashboard design, kept up by a small team of experts and largely ignoring the "laundry lists" of every prospective user.
I think the misunderstandings are because they are targeting a specific audience. They aren't trying to teach you Clojure, Datomic, and Reagent because they assume you are already knowledgeable about it.

Clojure and Clojurescript are the same language (more or less). They just target the JVM or Javascript.

The author is mixing the frontend (Clojurescript and Reagent) code with the backend (Clojure and Datomic) code in the same expression. Then through their magical system and the beauty of lisp, they pull the frontend and backend parts out to serve them separately.
Their terms of service and policies document this to be their process. Also, such handling would be required for GDPR compliance.

I see. But then you continue to willfully see ads after you left Reddit. I presume you viewed ads everywhere not just on Reddit?

Still strikes me as absolutely bizarre to do this. On one hand it’s commendable that you’d like to empathize with users, but on the other hand you’re working at Reddit who earns revenue by glueing people to their endless feed of ads. Expecting anything else is foolish.
There are several scandals of corruption about recycling programs (that billed and taxed but didnt't recycled) in the past.

The effect is similar to the 'Tax to the Sun' in the last years that destroyed by design most public interest into solar projects after deliberately making the life of the independent solar domestic producers a bureaucratic nightmare.

Now they try to convince people to adopt it, but there is a lost of distrust by people risking their money aware that a change in the government would block it again, because some people have an economic interest into blocking the adoption of clean energies.

Most people interested in nature conservation had been punished and burnt a few times yet, so much of the momentum has been lost.

People promoting "Two time use" plastics forgot that mold loves fruit, so you need to protect your product from spores and bruises that would destroy totally your investment. You would wrap a second fruit on the same plastic and is like bathing it into rooted stuff, is spoiled really quick.

To made illegal to wrap in plastics the same fruit that is cultured in the so called 'sea of plastics' is heartwarming but also a perfect irony. To compensate the loses in spoiled fruits we would need to increase the surface covered in plastic to culture more fruits.

Promoting to eat more meat and less fruit would be a much more efficient way.

I would strongly disagree. This type of information is the most valuable information google can collect on an individual. The cost of maintaining this data is so small compared to its value that there is should be little pressure to do anything but store it indefinitely along with any metadata that might be relevant.

> There's a reason why these things get decoupled

This is true, but I also think it's worth evaluating whether the lines along which we've been decoupling applications is the right one. Typically, the line of demarcation has been the client/server boundary, for a bunch of reasons: security considerations (it's also a trust boundary); different computational environment. This split has reinforced itself with the organization of companies into frontend/backend teams.

But there are a bunch of things that it makes a pain-in-the-ass. I've encountered this most with data-heavy apps, where I want to do some analysis on the server (e.g. Python/Pandas), but I want low-latency recalculations on the client in cases where the data is small enough. Doing it “right” requires implementing the same data-level logic in both Python and Javascript. Nobody has time for that, so we end up in our current world of laggy janky SaaS that needs to run off to the server every time you click a button.

Which is to say, I'm excited that people are looking at alternatives (not just this; LiveView was on HN yesterday as well).
Another comment helpfully quoted Google's data retention policy.

Honestly, those are some big demands you've got. Do you have any leverage?

Many people wanted Russia to stop pestering their neighbors and the world.

Many people wanted the US to stop overthrowing governments and stop running disastrous wars around the world.

Guess what happened? You and I are no more important than some random Iranian, Ukrainian or Chinese citizen.
There’s no question about moderating it, there’s a question of how aggressively and how complex the problem is.

Should #slavery be blocked? That hashtag probably also used for protesting and reasonable things. So you can’t just block all these terms - you should try to only block the ones abused.

Then, what about trickier terms? Once you block the words people start using code words instead. You need to constantly find these and remove them, and make sure you don’t block too many posts and people that didn’t deserve it.
Git is a pox on developers. There's nothing Git can do that you can't accomplish with make + emacs. I have stopped taking jobs that require me to use a VCS, and I have been happier and more productive.

> Believe me, you don't want to hire the people left there in villages, even if they are young, and moderately educated. But in its majority, the labour that still drips from inland China is of lower quality kind.

To knock China off, a country needs quantity, not quality. But even then, once again, Vietnam doesn't have an advantage here. Skilled labor is still very much in short supply in Vietnam.

> Vietnam makes quite a lot of food, more than China by acreage by far. China is surprisingly agriculturally unproductive country.

But that's the point. Vietnam is agriculturally rich and farming is part of the fabric of the Vietnamese culture. The country will not give the Mekong Delta to industry in anywhere near the same way China was able to sacrifice large swaths of historically agricultural land to industry. See again the Pearl River Delta.

I'd personally love to see China replaced but post-COVID, spend some time in Vietnam or Bangladesh and it won't take you long to see that these countries are nowhere near close to mounting a serious challenge. Like I said, Vietnam has a very bright future and will gain, but it's not going to supplant China.
My state of South Australia banned a lot of plastic last year. I don’t think even “ecoplastics” like PLA are allowed. It’s all cardboard, paper, bamboo, light wood or other odd things like sugar cane pulp.

The vast majority of the containers work just as well as the plastic ones did.
I hate to throw the word "stramwan" around because it gets done plenty enough already, but you just made up the most ridiculous scenario you could and then attributed it to my point to refute it.

He’s talking about how the system architecture would be sanely designed.
He is correct on how it should work.
Now how long the secondary system holds the data is a business decision. Maybe a month/year, maybe forever. Record retention laws may have impact on this.

Now If Google decided to hold the records forever or far beyond any legal requirements then yeah that’s getting evil.
Lots of videos of the new apartments in China where the walls crumble or are hollow. I remember reading that developers get huge subsidies from the government to build these buildings and either cut corners to pocket the money or never complete the buildings. I donno if that’s true or not. But seeing the tofu houses is makes me feel like it’s true.
This does not say what you are implying above - this talks about a formal data deletion request, not just deleting the email.
>Big difference is that Epic rolled the dice by filing a lawsuit about Apple's unfair rules and because they thought there was enough anti-Apple sentiment that they'd get a sympathetic judgement in their favor.

I think they're doing a great service (at their cost) to raise the issue time and time again. After Apple, I think Steam and other platforms are next. Pretty much all developers who make money on the app store agree with Epic on the fact that Apple should not engage in a 30% money-grab.
This is why I stopped using Gmail years ago.

Well, as mentioned in the article, at the time of writing the Tractatus, Wittgenstein was deeply moved by the kind of spirituality found in Leo Tolstoy's work. However, it's the explicit purpose of the Tractatus to draw a demarcation line between propositions of logic (and by this, meaningful sentences of philosophy) and any mystical or spiritual feelings, thoughts, or faith. So it really doesn't matter at all.
If it was the case that you needed your image processing software to handle new formats, or your OS to handle a camera, you would go to the supplier and buy an upgrade.

If that case was any common, then upgrades would be hugely lucrative, and software distributors wouldn't be forcing people to move into a different model.
We need to encourage a culture of maintenance releases at companies where we work. As a user, I want the software I use to look and behave the same, and have the same feature set forever, with only under-the-hood security updates and bug fixes. I don't want the constant UX churn, constant feature cram/bloat, constant regressions and increased CPU/memory usage.

But with most companies' development process, you're stuck having to take the bad with the good. Their release tree is one long trunk, and to get the security updates you must also take the latest PM's pet features and the disruptive results of their latest UX designer's art project. Companies need to learn how to branch at major versions and offer minor maintenance releases on each of those branches, while offering the next version.

EDIT: If 'grep' was developed like most commercial/startup software, its command-line switches would all change with every release, it would require an internet connection, it would be able to grep through Tweets, and it would phone home to its developer with logs of every file you grep through.

Nice build, but personal preference gripe:

I'm so tired of the glass-box-with LED fans aesthetic.

I bought an intel NUC ECE + a small form factor case. My PC is about the size of a 12 pack of beer and runs everything I throw at it.

That's nice, but what I really want is a rack in the closet or a small impact-resistant case with a handle to carry to LAN parties, whenever those exist again.
With recent piholes you can now ignore specific devices! This what I do for my partner.
I think Phoenix LiveView (posted recently on HN: https://fly.io/blog/how-we-got-to-liveview/) and Rails Hotwire (https://hotwired.dev/) are the main alternatives that have momentum right now.

The general idea being to abstract away the difference between client and server code, so that you can write code that handles both, in a single file.

> There has got to be a better way

What's offensive about the OP to you? Is it just that you don't like functional programming / Clojure (fair, that's ultimately a matter of taste / aesthetics at some level)? Or is there something about the technical implementation you think is suboptimal?
