The frustrating part is that you can have the most impeccable Postfix configuration for your smtpd, and your system has never once emitted a single spam outbound to anyone, but your mail to office365 or other places might disappear into a black hole.

I know probably 4 or 5 people who are far more than capable of running their own mail server and have given up on it these days, bowing to the inexorable market pressure of gsuite/google workspace/office365 for their MX, because they just can't be bothered by having outbound mail deliver-ability issues. These are people who were running smtpd for regional ISPs in 1997. It almost seems like the google and microsoft spam filters are a bit of a protection racket, forcing people to buy their services.

The author of the article covers this:

If you self-host email, you will run into an elevated number of delivery problems. That is a guarantee. Fully implementing trust and authentication measures will help, but it will not eliminate the problem because providers weight their IP reputation information more than your ability to configure DKIM correctly. Whether or not it becomes a noticeable problem for you depends on a few factors, and it's hard to say in advance without just trying it.

Federated systems like email tend to rely on a high degree of informal social infrastructure. Unfortunately, as email has become centralized into a small number of major providers, that infrastructure has mostly decayed. It was not that long ago that you could often resolve a deliverability problem with a politely worded note to postmaster @ the problematic destination server. Today, many email providers have some kind of method of contacting them, but I have never once received a response or even evidence of action due to one of these messages... both for complaints of abuse on their end and deliverability problems [3].
well there are a lot of scientists doing dogma and calling it science, I'm sure.

it's endemic with every profession and it drives me nuts; the immensity of the arrogance required to say that you truly know something (with any complexity at all) to the fullest extent it can be known.
This is the definition of the survivorship bias. You lived through your multiple times. Those who didn't - can't tell their story, because... they are dead.
Have you thought of introducing them to multiple religious beliefs as beliefs people have?

My experience was along these lines and although I am not an expert on the details, it helped me see multiple viewpoints, spot universal patterns, gain respect for all.
I wonder if there are resume ghostwriters you can hire for that?

I imagine you'd send them the text and a sample of your handwriting, and they'd produce a neatened up version that's close enough to your handwriting that someone could believe you'd produced it with enough care.

(Cheaper versions would just give you a generic neat hand, without customising it to your own handwriting.)
First computer exposure for me was phone coupler 300-baud modem on a paper terminal to compuserve billed by the hour (was it minute? or hour? I think rounded to hour)

Eventually got a tiny green-screen terminal and discovered I could record the modem sessions on a tape player and play them back offline sometimes!

When TRS-80 came out and then 1200baud modems I thought the future was amazing.
I recently found "D - Find a new job in my field" was effective for increasing my salary, reframing my outlook on life, and getting my swagger back.
Yes, through a certified mechanic. Unlike Tesla, the other automakers make sure there is stock on hand for repairs before they release cars, which is part of why they appear to have reduced EV construction capabilities.

Einstein allegedly didn’t talk full sentences until he was 5 years old … I wonder how freaked out his parents were or rather would be in this day and age!

Admittedly it’s hard not to track milestones as a parent; either out of paranoia or healthy curiosity.

I’ve had 5 children and each one of them developed at their own pace but that didn’t stop me from googling and checking milestones. I was able to trace my “fear” to seeing my grandma selflessly raise a mentally disabled cousin in an environment with zero support… and it took a toll on her. I remember thinking I don’t want to have children because I was “sure” I’ll be in the same position. I’ve obviously had more than a few but the fear never went away!

I’m saying all that to say - healthy curiosity is good and actually needed (I’ve seen parents in denial for example when the child truly need help - e.g speech therapy etc.) But equally important is addressing the source of irrational fears we sometimes carry with us.

PS: As a dev sometimes you can think you can somehow hack your child’s development but biology alway wins! Just keep them safe and watch them blossom.

Three hours and not one comment about how this is the TikTok penny challenge? There are a bunch of these foolish memes that grow on there; it is at least somewhat interesting that Alexa picked it up from parsing an article about dangerous online challenges.
In the good old days of Web 2.0, this would just be implemented as a JSON-backed standard for cap tables by all the entities involved.

Hey, we publish our cap-table at /.well-known/captable.json as defined in YCRFC-21. You can just scrape it and remember to check against your LEI.

The ideas here are good, and the problems might be real for large investors - but this is yet again throwing Ethereum at a solution as a global spreadsheet.

Is it you that built Epic Games store homepage, that has appealing performances on mobile because it can't be bothered to display a list of games without heavy use of Javascript? That's what "successful JavaScript heavy applications" also leads to, developers never testing these on $50 android handsets and not caring about performance the slightest.
> it is very hard to unsee the cruel world and fool yourself with religion

I'm Christian and it is seeing this cruel world that confirms for me the existence of human sin and the need for a solution.

Science is wonderful and explains a lot of things and has resulted in a lot of good, but so far for me, it doesn't not explain adequately why this world is so cruel and what to do about. And it doesn't speak to morality either. Morality I'd argue is pretty important for a happy and functioning society.

Hayek had a belief that society couldn't be engineered through knowledge, but that's far from a settled fact. With the rise of MMT, it may be that Hayek was largely wrong. Critical thinking would indicate that, while his argument is compelling, there isn't enough evidence to have a definitive opinion either way.
What an awesome comment. The site brings back memories of the style of the times. But why are his publications in flames?
It’s sad that HN deletes the original comment so I can’t see what this is in response to, though I see the doctor’s name in your links. Going to watch the original and then read your links. Even though this “doctor” is probably a whack job, I love listening to people I disagree with and seeing their points rebutted.

Japan had interesting art and culture before their modern political system, which largely stems from post WWII.

Btw, there's a reasonable argument to be made that constraints are what drives creativity. From my own experience, East Germany had much better political jokes than West Germany. Mostly because you didn't need a carefully worded joke in the West, you could just open a newspaper.

Interesting, thanks. Some of these seem fine, like not lending your car to someone you know is drunk, wreckless, underage, or obviously unfit to drive.

But this one is worrisome -- how would you know?

Maybe the Turo driver screening asks about these conditions.
If you prevent me from having access to devices, tests, etc. because you're afraid other people might not be as savvy as me, you're punishing me for other people's failings. That is not only unfair, it's counterproductive; the savvier people are exactly the ones who are going to be the most helpful in breaking new ground and figuring out new things. Forbidding them to try because other people are less savvy just means everybody loses.
Maybe developers need to start testing their javascript heavy webpages on low end phones and computers to realize the terrible impact of javascript heavy webpages and how it's not very "inclusive" since it discriminates against the people who can't afford high end phones or PC? Especially when most administrative tasks now rely on filling forms on the internet, mobile or desktop.
not 70s but my Mercedes 300TD from 1985 made extensive use of vacuum hoses to power lock doors, run pumps and even to turn off the engine (it's diesel so no spark plugs.) I think it was built that way because electronics were more expensive?

the engine was a marvel of engineering. I got it to 400K+ miles (odometer eventually broke), and I could drive just fine even after my alternator broke and I had no electrical power whatsoever. I also could (and did) do extensive maintenance myself because there were no computers to fiddle with and everything was modular.
Lex Friedman #199: Roger Reeves: Smuggling Drugs for Pablo Escobar and the Medellin Cartel

Incredible conversation, and Lex did a wonderful job approaching this conversation from an unconventional perspective.
Well written article. The drawbacks to active investing mentioned mirror my own experience. I ended up with a constant nagging in my head to know how the market was doing. Since moving back to a buy and hold strategy I feel happier and more focussed on the rest of my life.
You’re assuming a extremely tight labor market, which may be true since about a year ago, but definitely has not been true for at least a decade before that.

Before the current tight labor market, if someone who was living paycheck to paycheck found themself unemployed, they took whatever job they could get. Maybe they apply for 10 jobs and only hear back from 1 for an interview. They have hungry children to feed and don’t have any money for groceries. The employer understands that most applicants are desperate for any job so can tack on any terms they want - such as a non-compete.

This. I'm at a point where I can get the feel for a third party recruiter, especially on whether they can sell me to a hiring manager with whom they have a personal relationship with.

Those are the third party recruiters you want to work with. They are pretty rare though.
I, too, was raised in a religion-free environment.

The longer I live, the more I am convinced in the extraordinary nature of our minds to define reality.

At this point I am inclined to admit that in the universe of people who believe in God, God truly exists.

This leads me to have deep respect for religious devotees, and for atheists and agnostics alike.
In US law, I think it's "a failure to behave with the level of care that someone of ordinary prudence would have exercised under the same circumstances"? Perhaps you believe that this is not applicable, but you seem to be begging the question by implicitly accusing your interlocutor of believing that words do not have meanings, rather than making an argument for that position.

I find that contemptible. Your comment is the kind of comment that makes me not want to comment on HN.

I've been getting ~2-5 recruiter emails per week for the past several months. Silicon Valley is a bit weird.

That said, I'm also still getting periodic offers for unpaid summer internships from out of state. Maybe it's because I never finished my degree, and they're finding me from my college's records?
I was originally going to write "Since Friday, 15 October 1582", since that was the first day of the Gregorian calendar.

But the previous day on the Julian calendar was Thursday, 4 October 1582. So even though there was a jump in the day number, the weekdays remained monotonic.

So maybe the correct answer is 1 January, 45 BC, the day the Julian calendar took effect, which was apparently a Friday.
That’s one implication he drew out of this thinking. But his broader project, along with his close friend Popper’s, was grappling with the questions —- What is science? what is “social science”? What are the limits of rationality? —- partly in response to the popularity of the theories of Freud and Marx in prewar Vienna.
Sounds like you're worrying about it a lot. Kids can sense stress, they can also sense other emotions, just treat them with love and smile and laugh with them and don't worry if they are a "little behind". They will figure it out eventually. As others have said, kids, even within the same family, learn different stuff and different times and everything is OK.
Hard for me and hard for the author of the blog post.
I would recommend value investing. Read some books on the topic. We have been in a fairly unprecidented bull market. The S&P 500 is up nearly 30 percent on the year. You would have almost had to try to lose money in this market. Where strategies prove themselves or not are in a bear market.

Further, the most important attribute in investing is temperment. If you find yourself making decisions based on emotions then just invest in a low cost index fund. You will beat 50 percent of investors over the long term.
> Why do people buy and use these things?

Because they are convenient for lots of routine tasks.

> And why have they taught their kids to use them?

If they are in a house with kids, the kids don't need to be actively taught to start using them.

> I feel like we're on the verge of an age where every single person is used to, and just has an Alexa/google home voice assist in their house.

Pretty close, yeah.

> Not only is it unnecessary

Unless you are dirt poor, chances are most of the things you have and use are unnecessary.

> but as you can see from thia tweet, they're never going to be perfect.

This tweet tells how they are (well, Alexa is) now, not what they will (n)ever be. But, yes, nothing is ever perfect. Clothes dryers are both unnecessary and imperfect, and kill people every year: are you going to go on a crusade against them, next?
One of the quagmires with systems research is that it makes “stuff” (performance or usability) easier for the user. Research is supposed to be “scientific”, so you need ample evidence of those claims. This is difficult to obtain for very weird systems because usability is in human-computer interaction, which is hard to measure. If it’s so weird to not be portable and you have not measured humans, it must be impractical. That’s the line of thought that I encounter, at least.

The much more publishable paper is on fixing the existing interface and changing the implementation. Look at a paper like Tensorflow; the value add for users is huge, but at the end of the day all the results are on comparing to highly tuned assembly programming. There is some notion that each of the ~millions of ML practitioners that use TF would only use it if it had very good performance. Reality is that most practitioners just want a working implementation. In Pike’s slides, most users are “grandma”, which, in this case, severely distorts relevant metrics.

Also, CS tends to dislike revisiting problems and is seasonal in research topics (see the rise and fall of AI and Big Data frameworks). I’d guess most of this “hot topics” agenda is motivated by possible industrial use. The industrial utility of very new things is near zero (basically what the slides say). You basically see research doing a “I can do that, too” whenever something interesting hits the market.

I think an interesting thought experiment is to take something like databases or distributed systems and simulate inventing them today. It’s unclear how you’d argue for such big ideas. Afterall, you can write database queries by hand and buy bigger computers.
Then the manufacturers can increase production to meet demand. Commoditization often leads to lower prices. Look how much a workstation or server used to cost before cheap commodity x86 pc were a thing.
> What does it even mean to ask if things that are outside of our universe "exist"?

Maybe I'm missing something but that seems like a straightforward question to me.

In a diagram, the universe is a circle. Does anything exist outside that circle?
I thought that last phrase was very cleverly worded.

The author obviously has an appreciation for crafting advanced stylistic prose in English.

Education is adtech. Thanks to pearson, blackboard, etc.

Co-founder of Simula here. Agreed. In many ways it makes zero sense that our micro team of 3 people with extremely limited resources is making the first (at least Linux) VR Computer (VRC). This is something that Big Tech companies should be doing in a well-functioning economy, but for some reason aren't, due to some combination of bureaucratic inertia and risk-aversion.

Every year Apple is one year away from releasing its supposed AR headset. Google basically abandoned Daydream (which was gaming/entertainment focused anyway). Microsoft had a great early Hololens prototype, but doesn't seem to be pushing consumer facing AR/VR at all (instead selling contracts to the military??).

Meta is investing heavily in VR (which is cool), but is unfortunately jamming it through the awkward framing of "make everything in VR a social network", which we're not fans of: https://simulavr.com/blog/we-dont-want-the-metaverse/

In any event, we're really excited to help bring a Linux VRC to market that is focused primarily on office work, programmer productivity, and general purpose computing. =]
Yeah, which is one major reason why you don't bring corporate surveillance devices that read the cesspool of the Internet in a friendly voice into your home.

If you get enough people vaccinated, it would prevent the various variants from reaching so many immunocompromised individuals.

The reason we get so many variants is because there are enough unvaccinated individuals that the virus is able to rip through billions of individuals.

Same here. If I get up really close, I can tell the difference, but not the way I normally sit in my seat. It probably helps that I have a fairly deep desk and monitor arms, for maximum eye-monitor distance.

Retina is 326 PPI+ on iPhones. It’s 220 PPI+ on MacBooks. I have to say that my 170 PPI or so is plenty on my 4k 28” desktop monitors. Though I would be very very happy to upgrade to 120hz (without turning my laptop into a jet engine) and maybe 5k as well for perfect 2:1 1440p scaling.
Indeed, I didn't mean to equate them in any way other than "children were removed from their parents and educated according to prevailing practices." I suspect each example is quite unique.
I’m viewing this from the lens of a person raising a dog for the first time: there are ideals, there are wishes, there are acceptable outcomes and tradeoffs, there are goals, and there are a lot of material realities. A person (in the sense of a living, conscious being) is going to reach all of those, and more.

The best thing that’s happened for me with my pup has been to stop tracking what’s expected and start focusing only on who I know she is and can be. She continually exceeds those expectations.

I know it’s not the same as raising a human child, but I also know I would have benefitted from being raised with that disposition from my parents.

Relax, or try to. Your kid is great. The more she knows you have some trust in that, the more she’ll thrive and grow into herself. And unlike a pup, she’ll be increasingly capable of telling you how she can grow and thrive on top of that.
The main point IMO is that 99.9% of active researchers in clinical medicine should never have been allowed to conduct research. I should know, I'm one of them. The state of the field is plainly abysmal and most clinical researchers don't know a mean from a median, yet happily design full-scale clinical trials.
It's a bit more complex than that in my experience, think Dale Carnegie's tactics. They want to build "rapport" by making you to talk about yourself and then use that to make you to commit. It probably worked much better 20 years ago, when people actually talked to their friends on the phone but, I guess, they still get bites since they stick to this so hard.
