The hypothesis that life is seeded from comets then begs the question - how did it get onto comets in the first place?

Did it evolve on our local comets? In conditions which don't support life, over evolving on earth which does?

Seems unlikely - so I assume we are talking about comets from other systems. Which makes me wonder how life got onto _those_ comets. Which suggests that life can leave a planet and get picked up by a local comet turned wanderer. Given the plethora of life on this planet presumably our comets are well endowed by now...

I guess what I'm saying is that terestial evolution asks me to believe in one set of somewhat unlikely events - whereas cosmic evolution asks me to believe in the same events, just far far away, and then asks me to belive in "random space travel" (leaving as much as arriving) as well.

Consider me sceptical.

Even better, if you've been bamboozled onto an annual Teams plan, you get a weird single 30-day window at your renewal period to change your license/seat count downward without penalty. Otherwise, you're just perpetually on the hook for the full number of licenses contracted.

It was a pretty standard-looking credit report, though it was long and detailed.

IME, 'what makes sense to me' is an unreliable signal of truth. It does strongly signal my limits, however. If I treat it as a signal of truth, I limit the world to what I already believe - a very narrow subset that is also subject to my biases and misunderstandings, and one that excludes the most ripe areas for learning: things I have no idea about, that are a corrective for my many errors, or that I had no idea even existed.
Quoting OP:

> Whereas we currently have a half dozen or so music streaming services that all have roughly the same content, we’ll soon find content fragmented across 20 different platforms; each corresponding to a specific slice of consumer preferences. Many of us will have to subscribe to multiple services to get the content we seek and will not be able to mix content. E.g., many of my current playlists on Spotify would be split across several disjoint streaming platforms.

Where else can you get Joe Rogan's podcast, today?

Nowhere. That's fragmentation. Spotify literally signed the contract explicitly for this reason. So it doesn't make sense to start worrying about different content being available on different platforms now that people are removing their music in protest, rather than two years ago when they made his podcast exclusive in the first place.

Outlook definitely engage in aggressive blocking of netranges, but I’m pretty sure they don’t use UCEPROTECT to do this since I’ve seen servers caught in Outlook netrange blocks despite all the public RBLs (including UCEPROTECTL3) showing no problem.

Just to be sure, you are using the Outlook form[0] and not the Office365 form? Have you signed up for SNDS?[1] All these hoops are pretty dumb, and I don’t think they have updated any of these systems since the mid-2000s so they are also pretty terrible to use, but here we are.

My limited personal experience with Outlook’s removal process is that it’s just slow and confusing (sometimes 12 hours for a response, sometimes the response emails are empty). The last time I had to do this, their TLS certificates had expired (and they use HSTS), so I could not even get into SNDS for half the day until someone there finally noticed and deployed new certificates.

Shell scripts can't declare dependencies though, in the same way a pip package can. A shell script using this tool requires one to manually apt install it first, or run in a common docker image - asinine. If you don't, your script will fail halfway through during runtime (actually, likely it will not fail, just produce corrupted output, since shell by default ignores errors), a python IDE or mypy will tell you about missing packages during analysis before you try to build and run it.

Besides that, looking at json only, it's part of the standard library so is more likely to already exist on any given machine rather than this.

Russia?

Since WWII most other countries have moved on in a serious way. Look at China and Japan now v. 1945. Look at Germany. Russia is the laggard. In particular there are certain to be economics involved in selling natural gas, but Germany seems a little too needy for it, and Russia can't seem to take no for answer. Neither one of them can seem to stop hanging out in the alleyway to explain what's going on out here in the light.

Germany-Russia from what I can tell tends to have dynamics of a 3-way love triangle with the 3rd vertex reality: first they're together, then they fight, then retire to a neutral corner.

If you think about the amount of time it takes to get information from Mars to Earth, it would be similar but on a much bigger scale. It takes somewhere around 20 mins one way for Earth/Mars communications depending on oribital positions. By the time we received the confirmation that landers on Mars were safe, the lander has already had a cup of tea.

The lander wasn't in paused motion so that everything times out with us on Earth. Same concept with deep space objects. What we see is the information as it was when it left. To see what happened just now, we'll have to wait another few million years.

I just don't see how you actually know you're going to get a good quality product without research. Since you have to research to know if the product seen in an advertisement is good anyway, if you do your research well you will come out of it with some good quality products in mind, and can then simply search for vendors. Nobody ever puts the negatives in their ads - why would they - so at best they're triggers to buy a product you probably don't need (after all, otherwise if you needed it you wouldn't wait for an advertisement, you'd be researching, or just buying whatever was at the top of the online store.)

Basically I don't see how a targeted advertisement ever helps me. I find myself in these scenarios:

- I need a product, say a new pair of shoes. Since I need these, for example in the situation where my current shoes are literally falling apart of inadequate for the weather, I will simply start doing research, asking people, etc. I don't need targeted ads here, and they don't target me based on product quality, so there's no point paying attention to them anwyay.

- I don't need a product: well, then I don't need an ad for it either.

- I'd like a product, say a new luxury pair of shoes I don't need. Well, why should I trust an ad? Upon seeing an ad I'll just go and research it anyway, since again, nobody will list the negatives of their own product in any advertisement.

- I need a product, but am unaware it exists: the only area where a targeted advertisement really makes sense, since it saves me time (I don't know I should be researching it because I'm unaware it exists). But, uh, I've literally never had this happen ever in my life, and I'd be curious if anyone has any examples.

Now you're got me wondering if one can stick on a "X-Spam: no” header. Like... Surely not, but...
Off the top of my head, it was edge cases of code to process in your head and write down the exact result the computer would output. Things like “what is the result of 1 + ‘1’”. And of course there was some kind of “protection” to keep you from copy pasting the code into the console which can be circumvented a number of ways. Too bad that wasn’t part of the test, it would actually be a better signal than their trivia questions.

In terms of sound quality, I want to say any of the planar magnetic headphones. It's hard to beat the agility and clarity of planar magnetic with dynamic drivers without spending a lot more money.

Perfect. Just what I need to send important emails to my boss.
>My wife recently got on a new immunosuppressant medication, and now I see ads for that all the time. Great job targeting! But I already spent the money? So what is the point of all this?

this might be an example of the targeting knowing you need the medicine but not that you have it, I recently searched for something I would need a medicine for, I already have the medicine which I got during holiday but the online companies have no way of knowing that, thus I get advertisements for the medicine. Great job targeting indeed.

To be fair here, you're not seeing any of the previous iterations of that rule. I have to imagine it started fairly minor and the board kept escalating it until it actually reliably worked.
I feel like the UI on Teams is scaled wrong everywhere. The composing message box is tiny. Just a couple emoji’s for responding look scaled wrong.

It’s weird.
It's neat when code that looks wildly inefficient goes fast anyway, but might that mean minor changes can have unpredictable effects on performance? We see that a fair bit with JavaScript, where there is a happy path for performance but you can fall off if it with apparently minor changes.

Perhaps, with more experience, the performance of programa targeting HVM will be predictable, but I suspect it will mean a lot of relearning intuitions about what makes programs slow?

Do Haskell programmers have good intuition about performance? It seems like laziness would make it hard?
> Everybody thinks they're incorruptible

It chafes me a little to see this so often phrased as something "everybody" thinks. There are enough people who feel otherwise in my social circles that it's pretty easy for me to consider this as a shockingly dumb assumption for a person to hold.

Though I do acknowledge that you're probably close to right from a purely numerical perspective.
Some British children have been changed by Covid-19, probably for good
One way of getting consumer Gmail to work with a custom domain almost exactly like the way legacy Gsuite worked is to do something like this:

1. Tell your registrar to forward e-mails from john@doe.com to john.doe@gmail.com. Many registrars offer this service for free.

2. Set up john@doe.com as an alternate sender in Gmail (Settings > Accounts and Import > Send mail as).

For (2), you can use smtp.gmail.com to send mail on behalf of your domain. Example setup instructions: https://support.google.com/domains/answer/9437157?hl=en. You might also want to make sure "treat as an alias" is unchecked, so `john@doe.com` shows up as the From address (as opposed to `john.doe@gmail.com on behalf of john@doe.com`). You probably also want to edit your spf record for your domain to allow Google's mail servers to send mail on behalf of your domain, e.g. "v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com -all".

So this mostly all works...but the problem is that there doesn't seem to be any way of setting up the proper DKIM and DMARC records for your domain when using smtp.gmail.com. So I'm wary of deliverability issues with this setup. I already found one other user complaining about this: https://serverfault.com/questions/1092392/spf-dkim-dmarc-for....

Does anyone have any ideas here? Are there any reputable SMTP only hosts that cater to individual users? You could use Amazon SES but it seems like it might be a bad choice for individuals, as those SES hosts are generally used for bulk e-mail and you might get stuck sending mail on an IP with a bad reputation.

Oculus faces a massive technical challenge, but if it pulls through, Facebook will have such a huge 1st movers advantage it will be unsurmountable. It is a big bet, but it is genuinely the only true revolution in media consumption that I can see around the horizon.

What on earth did the ad say that convinced you "I want to buy shoes from some random Portuguese company online?" What did the ad look like? What did it claim?

I also wonder if you're in the EU or not, as that changes the story. But I understand a lot of people wouldn't want to say on a forum.
There are many such organizations that are active at a city or county level (eg https://sfbike.org/) and there are others at state level and even one or two at national level (https://www.bikeleague.org/). In my experience the most resources and most effective advocacy happen on the local level. I’d love to see national or state level organizations get more resources though.

My pet hate is M/S Excel. It's ancient now, but still essential for some users.

Having peeked behind the political shroud on occasion (and still by no means an expert), I think people overestimate the complexity of the US political system.

Most politicians are not imposing some personal beliefs, they are just representing whichever voice their staffers/office hears most often. And, even for a senator, there aren't that many people who actually call to talk to a staffer.

The ones that do usually have a strong interest, so the staffers generally hear a skewed version of reality (and while these folks are often bright, deep domain experts they generally are not).

Sooo... Calling/writing does quite a bit more than you might think, if you can get even a reasonable number of people to do it who the staffers believe actually have expertise and are within the district/state.

The staffers will probably give a mostly generic response, but these are all tallied up internally and definitely drive policy.
ACCC may be a toothless tiger, but suing the business in your local Tribunal is absolutely effective. The filing costs are $80 or so, and generally, if you make a good faith effort to resolve the issue before hand with the business and they don't resolve it, the magistrate will give you costs.

I've only had to do this once and it was a fairly simple process. Lawyers are not allowed. Just point to the specific consumer guarantee being breached, provide documentary evidence, and show up.

> Any questions were allayed with "oh, you know email. Strange things happens, delays and all that".

The funny thing is, on the real internet with SMTP (so, not in your case but commonly), that's actually true; I once worked at a company that sent a massive amount of email to customers with our own postfix clusters, and it turns out things like "MX was down for a few hours" or "customer's email system rate limited us" - or rarely even "our servers are overloaded and trickling mail out" - are real things and sometimes emails do get held up for hours or days.

That's about the only example you need explained to understand ~99% of real world jq usage. $dayjob has quite a bit of it around in various repos, and this actually is as real-world as it gets in my experience.

Graphics libraries and windowing systems almost universally map (x, -y) - That is, Y=0 is at the top of your screen and Y=MAX is at the bottom, making Y coordinates backwards from conventional plotting graphs. X is standard. But talking about it is hard, even graphics programmers I know regularly make the same polarity mistakes one time out of ten, like you post originally had lat and long reversed in ranges (but used correctly elsewhere).

Just be glad we don't universally use Minecraft XYZ coordinates.

I found DDD very poorly written. It's a nightmare slog to read. I find Evans isn't a gifted writer and thinks unedited rambling is appropriate for a textbook. The 600 pages could easily have been 100. DDD can also be a poison to core systems, and Evans never considers this (I don't think he knows it). If you try to encode business domains, service lines, product names, stakeholder role names, what have you, into your core software, now you can't iterate on the business, because it requires refactoring the core. Building generic platforms with minimal "domain" (whatever that term means, Evans can't even define it) concerns in it, and keeping the business logic as far in user configuration land as possible, gives a business more flexibility and a better chance at surviving.
