>2- After that they’ll ask you a few questions on why you need it, just tell them its because you’re a growing startup who expects to send thousands of emails per month, (make sure to say this, they don’t crosscheck later, if you dont say something along the lines of this, they usually reject your application to avoid having to serve small customers who might not scale their business later. )

I have the same setup as you, relaying outbound mails through SES. I told exactly how I was going to use it and was accepted promptly. Maybe I just got lucky.
I wasn't thinking sequencing but rather comparison. Could even hash data for comparison to enforce privacy (unsure how effective that would be)

But this could enable things like finding relatives which is what I got out of the comment about 23andme. Instead of all the data being centralized, storage and comparison could be distributed

The job market is not an efficient market. It doesn’t respond to offer and demand signals.

Nurses have been in short supply in most of the developed world for the past three decades yet are still paid peanuts. It’s all about your proximity to the handling of money and historical trend. That’s why even people doing menial jobs in banking are well compensated while people working in heavy industries are paid relatively little compared to the complexity of their jobs.
GDPR doesn't ban having log files with IPs. It requires you think about why you have them, what's in them and how you use them though.
Who uses those ridiculous kiosks? Most people I see still just go to the counter, order, and pay. It's much faster.
Land might be finite but we're nowhere near its limits. I once read that you could easily fit every human building ever built in a 10km stretch of the Grand Canyon. So let's carefully say we can have 1e9 times the number of buildings we have now.

I learned about this Naval guy through Twitter, ironically.

In the Bay Area, from the peninsula, take 280 to SF instead of 101 - that’ll demonstrate the difference instantly.
It's not so much 'choosing the correct tire' - there's a 'category of tire' and it's called a 'snow tire' and everyone in snowy areas has them, often by law.

It's like 'choosing' to slip through the snow wearing Oxford shoes, or, put on a pair of boots.

All of these comments about bad driving in the W. Coast, about 50% of this is just everyone has completely the wrong tires.
I'm really curious about what I could learn by getting my DNA sequenced, but I'm worried about my rights to not have it recorded and shared without my consent if I got someone else to do it for me - so any advance toward an affordable home test setup is very welcome.

> Wanna learn how to drive in the snow? Tackle an unplowed, 45 degree hill littered with vehicles that didn't make it.

I'm sure your advice is a bit tongue in cheek? :D

I live on the hillier/colder/drier side of Washington where we do get some actual snow. During my kids' learning years of driving (16-18), first big snow, I find an empty/abandoned parking lot, take my kids there, do a couple of donuts and such, then throw the kid the keys, tell 'em "stay in the middleish and have fun."

They get a feel for massive understeer, sliding vs static fraction, etc this way. It makes it not a surprise later. Since they all have to learn to drive a stick (manual), we learn how to brake via downshifting too.

It all makes me feel skilled and is one of those rare moments where my teenagers actually think I have some useful wisdom to pass on still. Sadly, it earns me no credibility in any other area of their lives I'd like to peddle my wisdom to them. :)
* Build the minimum needed features to solve the problem for your own use case

* Make it open source

* Give it away for free

It's not the golden rule that will work for everything. But that's what I did with Lunar, my app for controlling monitors (https://lunar.fyi) and it helped enormously with adoption and with seeing if a large enough user base could be created.

A lot of users offered to donate, others told me that I was stupid for not asking money for the app, others constantly asked for features on Github which helped me understand how the product could solve the problem better.

In the end, I prepared a large update with most of the features that were requested and made those features paid while keeping the old version free and open source.

99% of the users applauded this decision and were happy to pay (the other 1% sweared angrily through emails, but what can you do..)

Not directly racist, but there's a huge difference in effective waiting times for employment based green cards by country, mainly due to the per-country cap.

Roughly speaking, for similarly qualified folks applying in the EB2 category in 2021, Indian immigrants (worst case), approval can take 15+ years, while immigrants from Sweden will take 2-3 years at most (was less than a year pre-COVID).

For what it’s worth, chip fabs mostly recycle water. Intel is also funding water restoration projects to achieve net positive water use. See https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/04/why-intel-tsmc-are-building-...

> Glenn O’Donnell, vice president and research director at analyst firm Forrester, told CNBC that chip fabrication plants “recycle water religiously,” adding that it’s a bit like a swimming pool in an enclosed building.

> “You need a lot to fill it, but you don’t have to add much to keep it going,” he said. “Also, being in an enclosed space, a lot of the water that evaporates can be captured with a dehumidifier and returned to the pool. The fabs will do similar things with their own water usage.”

> Intel notes on its website that it is striving to achieve “net positive water use” in Arizona and that it has funded 15 water restoration projects that aim to benefit the state. “Once fully implemented, these projects will restore an estimated 937 million gallons each year,” the company says.
As someone who has been developing websites for 15+ years and who stumbled across HTMX a year or two ago, I want to add a couple things here:

One really really nice thing about HTMX is how easy it is to "spruce up" a UI. You say "this part of my website could really do with some active content" and you start thinking about xmlHttpRequest and callbacks and and JSON and all that and you think "does it really need sprucing?". But with HTMX it's usually just adding a couple hx- attributes and maybe a couple serverside lines and you're done.

Another really really nice thing about HTMX is how easy it makes it to make things degrade gracefully. Javascript enabled? Get your beautiful ajax. No Javascript? Get a good experience in the "traditional" model. In anything else I've ever seen, if you want that experience, you need to write your UI twice (and usually in two different languages / models).

So basically it drastically lowers the bar for making nicer experiences on top of a solid MPA. Especially if you're a solo developer, this basically means that you end up producing better UIs "for free".
Low interest rates and stimulus have caused over demand in the supply chain, labor shortages, and inflation. Exactly what you would expect from trillions of dollars in stimulus. This article agrees with this, but it was already obvious from the beginning.
I run a production email server on Digital Ocean and have not experienced this issue.

An issue I have experienced is that one email provider (who provides a white label service so that small regional ISPs can include a free email account to their customers) has blocked anything coming from DO's IP block. Ultimately my solution is to route those emails (and only those emails) through mailgun.com. The other 99.9% of my outbound email gets delivered directly to the final email server with no issues.
Yep.

> People voluntarily accepting a reduced quality of life by cutting back on water usage and forgoing water intensive produce.

IMO this is what people need to understand. If we need conservation, it won't be the people of California cutting back on their showers. That has very little to do with consumption. It will be everyone in the country who benefits from all the farming in California who will have to learn to do without some of their favorite water-intensive produce.
Yes, but to be honest it became too hard to get this working the way I wanted it to.

Later on, once I finally have a real vacation, I plan on combing this with a few of my other projects to make something very easy to use. I consider myself to be a collector of other useful techniques.

For example, for my PiBluetoothMidSetup project all I did was make a manual process significantly easier( I also had to update some minor C bindings for compatibility with the latest Raspbian).
You're right, but note for onlookers that even realizing that this variety of strategies exists can be the work of years, and learning to apply them years more. Whereas it always seems that the "other people" apply them instinctually.

The argument is this:

Suppose someone puts free stuff on the sidewalk and says, "provided free-of-charge to clowns; everyone else $5".

Then if I put on a clown nose and take the stuff, I'm completely in the right.

If the purveyor does not agree then they can:

1. Not put the stuff on the public sidewalk, but offer it inside their store only.

2. Have the cashier, validate that the the customer holds a clowning license issued by the state and is a member in good standing of some clowning association.

The argument is not at all anyone is entitled to the stuff no matter what, even in the face of protective measures like (1) and (2). The argument is that if some server discriminates what information it put out to the unauthenticated public according to some superficial browser client indications that are easily donned by any client, then it's perfectly fair game for anyone to manipulate those indications in order to be served any/all thus available versions of the content.

If that doesn't reflect the purveyor's intent, then they have a clear technological avenue for securing the protected content to authenticated users only.
> It is legal in the US to yell fire in a crowded theater. It is not legal to intentionally create a false emergency situation, verbally or otherwise.

Thus one could conclude, and stay with me here because this is complex, that the freedom to yell fire in a crowded theater does not… prevent you from facing legal consequences for yelling fire in a crowded theater.

You could take this understanding and you could reduce it down a snappy, easy to digest form: Freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences.
Completely agree. This guilt culture is little more than an attempt to retain the benefits of the "privilege" vs sharing the spoils with the less fortunate.
Yes. But ignore that - doesn’t make sense with their argument!
It's worth noting that at this point in history (2001) Mac OS X is still a turkey; visually unique, but very slow and incomplete. It would have only been of interest to the freaks and geeks in the Unix/OpenStep community. I can only imagine there was much hand wringing in the old school Mac community about whether Apple was on the right track or not.

It wasn't until version 10.3 in 2003 that OS X rounded into a form that would drive the final nail into the coffin of Classic Mac OS.

In 2005, version 10.4 takes a giant step forward, leap frogs everything else on the market, and becomes a genuinely compelling alternative to both Windows users and Unix/Linux users. This is also the version that adopted arguably the only really compelling feature of BeOS (Spotlight), and the first version to support Intel.

Apple's next release would be iPhoneOS 1.0.
It seems like a bad choice.

* For very little kids, the best camera is the Nikon S30 series (last I looked, they were up to the S33). It's cheap, waterproof, and tough. Kids can take it places, and you don't need to worry (and they don't need to worry either).

* For older kids, crazy as it sounds, the best camera is something that does full manual well. Kids can learn aperture, shutter speed, focus, zoom, and ISO. An older DSLR can be had for around $100-$200.

* One step up for there -- once kids care about photo quality -- is a compact mirrorless. I'm a big fan of the Olympus OM-D series (and older, used models are fine), but it doesn't matter too much. Sony is the big fish in the pond here, and you can't go wrong. Mirrorless is nice since it mounts easily to microscopes, telescopes, and other scopes.

If that's too big, the Sony RX100 series is surprisingly excellent. Pick your price too, since you can buy a I or a VII, with successively higher prices.

* Connected to a computer, a USB CS-mount camera is nice for learning computer vision programming. ELP makes decent ones. You can pick high frame rate, or high resolution, or USB3, or buy one of each. M-mount is fine too, and a bit cheaper.

PiCAM is fine too, as you were considering, but it will be a lot more work to do a project. Better for older kids.

This camera automates/gives what shouldn't be automated (filters), doesn't give controls over what's meaningful (ISO, white balance, shutter speed, aperture), won't give great photo quality, and doesn't look overly sturdy.
well nothing you can do can stop the other person from leaking your conversations.

Don't know what mcdonalds you're in, but most of them combine the kiosk revamp with cuts to the amount of staff hours. It's definitely not faster to join the single line in 5th place than use one of the 3 (of 5) vacant kiosks.
There is a large set of child cameras at about $50. Doing a tear-down/remix might has as much utility as building up from a pi zero and adding camera, battery, charge circuit, screen, buttons, output SD and case.
yup. that’s the business model for Illumina. it’s very much akin to video game consoles. Illumina might take a hit on selling the machine but makes it up in selling you proprietary reagents.

That has nothing to do with the frequency allocation. You can’t just transmit outside your band hoping it will increase resolution. And receiving 200mhz outside your band is not a thing we do in <current century>. DSP exists.
Interesting. You would have to invert the voltage on D+ and D- when it's in backwards. Or flip the lines somehow. Nice little puzzle that one
It's amazing really. There has to be a business school case study there in how you go from being the trail-blazer and biggest success story in fast food, to one of the worst and getting worse with everything you do.
Unfortunate side effect of avoiding self-hosted email is that email is becoming centralized service.
Near the beginning of the pandemics I've seen percentages of confirmed infections presenting symptoms X weeks after diagnosis. It seemed to not die off. But it both topped at a not too long interval and didn't see that many cases yet.
I disagree with the scale multiplier being a metric of morality. If one ice cream truck drives down my street, it puts me in a good mood even if I don't want to buy any ice cream from them. A continuous parade of ice cream trucks would be maddening. But that doesn't mean the ice cream truck driver who actually exists is behaving poorly.

Roundcube has a built-in editor for Sieve scripts.

Sieve is pretty cool; it runs user-defined scripts server-side, on delivery to addressee's mailbox. The scripts are in the Sieve language, which is just for mail filtering. But it's a bit abstruse - it may be rudimentary, but most users don't want to tangle with a language at all.

Anyhow, the Roundcube UI includes natively a Sieve script editor made up of drop-downs, which makes it much clearer what filter-steps you're asking for. I'm rather minimalist; I prefeer Squirrelmail, if I have to use webmail. But this feature of Roundcube is really good.
Solid read! I hadn’t heard if QGIS before but I’ll have to make a mental note to look into it now.
Sure, then you can use whatever SMTP option that is best for you. Some people are fine with using American cloud providers and some are not. If they are technical enough to host their own email server, they are more than likely to understand what choices they are making.
Capital One to pay $190M settlement in data breach linked to Seattle woman
Just looks like a Mirantis commercial.
I agree with the statement except for the "minimum wage" part - I assume you mean the legal minimum wage. Companies should have no right to exist as much as people should have no right to a government imposed minimum wage.

On a practical level a minimum wage is either not effective (so broadly set to what the market is paying already o just above that) or it will inevitably decrease job offer.

On a philosophical level, adults should be free to choose what to do with their body and mind - as long as it has no negative effect on third parties.

In Europe you had a SIM-locked phone if you bought it from the carrier, but you could also but a SIM-free one.

Based on the number of times I've been dragged into metrics meetings and demands for quantitative not qualitative evidence for discussion of ideas at work, this fallacy may have tendrils deep inside product management in online services.

Measuring is good. It's not the only good thing.
That's true. However, even getting to the point where you can apply for a green card is not a straightforward process. And if you are on an H1B it is still the case that your spouse cannot work in the US until you are (at least) in the process of getting your green card. So I would say that few people in Sweden would have a "fairly easy" time of immigrating to the US (though it is certainly possible).

What precisely was the point of your original post then? To assert a concept that has nothing to do with the article and that no one disagrees with?

One possible reading is you were actually intending to defend the laws in the article (not threats), and then had to stealth-edit your racist post to be about threats after I called you out. Now you’re stuck in that position.

Glad we seem to agree the speech in this article should be legally allowed unless it is genuine physical threats.

There are certainly some bad practices but overall don’t we need the agricultural capabilities of California? It’s not like all those crops can be grown elsewhere in the country more efficiently, right?
Thanks for the details. How do you scale this up to power the whole house? On the low end I would imagine you need 30 kWh worth, along with the appropriate equipment (5 kW inverter, cabling, enclosures) to tie it all together into a single system, manage charging, connect it to your home’s circuit safely, and so on. Do you buy off the shelf solutions for all that or pay for some kind of ongoing service or DIY?
Just need to upgrade the hardware to something more modern. Any mid-grade or better low-flow toilet made in the past 10 years or so can flush a lot of TP without any difficulty. Some of the early low-flow toilets weren't particularly good at it, and the high-flow toilets from the 70s were amusingly bad given the sheer quantity of water they use.

Also, encourage people to use bidets. Those are the best.
The math is sadly above my knowledge, but how cool!
I can guarantee that if you let VR set expectations for you, you'll be in a much worse position than that.
> In actual shortages where there's a strong political motivation to efficiently distribute goods (e.g. wartime), we switch to central planning (i.e. rations)

That is glossing over the fact that wartime is miserable for the average consumer. Extreme central planning leads to horrible outcomes.

Central planning in wartime has two motivations:
1. It allows tactical objectives to be met very quickly, at unreasonable cost.
2. Free markets are at heart anti-war, because war destroys capital and suppresses trade/investment, both bad outcomes for traders. So there needs to be a mechanism to suppress the markets and force it to make economically bad decisions.

Wartime central planning has nothing to do with getting poor people what they need. It is more likely poor people will be purposefully starved drafting able bodied farmers into soldiers then making sure they have lots of food.
