I guess it depends what kind of mail you're sending? I send & receive a lot of mail, but I can't imagine anyone has ever marked a mail from me as spam (except perhaps by clicking the wrong button), since it's just normal conversational personal & business mail. I never did any kind of deliberate 'warming up', I just set up the server and then started sending mail. In the first few months people would occasionally see mail from me go to their spam folder, but that hasn't happened in many years.

My understanding is that Ukrainian units have been supplied with and trained on modern artillery for the last few years. And that this is the reason that they can hold against the Russian army so well.
That's what the word relevant means in relevant experience.
Right, it requires a sort of alphabet of discrete specific states. Discrete locations in space, discrete numbers of things and discrete kinds of things.
Definitely hit harder. However, whiöe there was no official lockdown people in Taiwan voluntarily "lockdowned" last summer when they had an outbreak. It hit many local businesses hard and there was no support from the government unlike many western countries that supported businesses that were affected. The duration wasn't super long so the damage was bearable. This is anec data from my friends car repair shop that was affected(no customers for weeks)
Ok but a headline with this structure implies you would be forgiven for assuming it was.
Voting is not sufficient but it is necessary. Vote for more democracy/transparency/science/education, vote against less.

The general form of the issue (and therefore solutions) is outlined by Olsen's Collective Action Theory.

We're doing this to ourselves, like the prisoner's dilemma and game theory tells us we can rewrite the rules of the game to get better outcomes.
Threatening is what nukes are for. Nothing to see here.
>I went to the Netherlands recently and COVID was almost a non-issue.

But due to this 'draconian ridiculousness' described in the article, Covid has almost been a non-issue inside Taiwan for the last two years, unlike in the West. No lockdown. Few deaths. Economy has been booming.
AirBnB (and similar) has been really bad for the property market in the Scottish Highlands. Lots of people buying up scarce housing stock to use for holiday lets, means that locals who work in the area (where a lot of local employers can't pay stellar rates) can't afford to buy.

Combine that with the fact that these areas are often in National Parks which have restrictions on new-builds and you'll inevitably reduce the amount of people actually living in the area.
Given developers testing against shells that implement the spec, and a solid spec, and a variety of implementations that correctly implement that spec then I'm in full agreement with you. However, the moment you add caveats to that description you have, well… caveats to that description.

The situation - as I see it - is that we have a spec, and we have systems that ship a /bin/sh that implements something like it. If people are targetting their system's /bin/sh, then they're writing scripts for their /bin/sh implementation not posix compliant shells. For example, my install uses dash which has features beyond the posix spec which I have to eschew to produce portable scripts.

As a sibling comment points out shellcheck will point out a lot problems, but it requires people choosing to use it. You only have to dive around /usr/bin for a little while to see its usage isn't universal ;)

Of course, if the differences in implementation don't affect your usecase then it simply doesn't matter.
The virus isn't winning. Everyone who wanted to be is vaccinated. The thing to track now is severe reactions, not positive tests. The government in Taiwan has already acknowledged that they're probably undercounting cases. Meanwhile, they are reducing restrictions, and less rigorous contact tracing, except for arrivals on the small chance they bring in a new variant.
don't worry we're happy to do both transit and xenophobia in canada (unless the next administration cancels the transit plans) (they will)

Can you explain point 2?

Why do you refinance if rates go up? Surely the point is that if rates go up you've locked in a better rate

How does half your debt disappear if rates go up?

Seconded!

Also quite a lot of fun is Electronoobs - not quite Ben Eater's rigorous approach or info density, but for sure a lot of enthusiastically shared "doing" and inspiration at the beginner level (and analog projects Ben Eater doesn't cover, as he tends to focus on digital logic and signal transmission topics).
Tritium is already present in the ocean naturally and we are not talking about Nuclear Waste, as the title suggests, but clean water. We also cannot compare the tritium with mercury, because tritium, even if released in the ocean, decays away. Mecury, on the other hand, stays forever. The concerns that the water will affect marine life might be well intended but will cause more harm than good. In the worst possible case, this water will do less harm than what the other industries are releasing routinely, including water treatment plants. If you want to put your energy into preventing dirt from getting into the ocean, look literally anywhere else.
People are dying every day due to fossil fuel caused pollution, because we are irrationaly overestimating the dangers of nuclear power which are and have always been the safest and cleanest way to produce electricity. These deaths are SOLELY a consequence of fear-based decision making. I cannot envision a bright future if we don’t start evaluating the consequences of different scenarios with a scientific approach and stop taking decisions based on feelings.

Edit: spelling of tritium
> Oh, and in case you wonder, all of this only works with distributions that have completed the /usr/ merge. On legacy distributions that didn't do that (...)

Laughed hard at the audacity of this one.
Sounds like you really have an axe to grind all over this thread. I dare venture that you haven't been following the situation here that closely either. I'm in Taipei right now and have lived here for almost the entire pandemic. The "mass outbreak" was 13k new cases today. The cases are ramping up but hospitalizations and deaths are not. Everyone knows that omicron is not serious, and by all indications, the government is cautiously letting it rip this time.

Yesterday they ended the QR code program. They've been continuously reducing quarantine for 'close contacts' of confirmed cases. It's down to 3 days at home quarantine, and then 4 days of self health management, during which you aren't supposed to go to the mall or things like that, but can still go to work. They've also reduced the number of contacts that they trace and which criteria qualify as "close contact."

For two years while most of the rest of the world was in turmoil, life was almost normal here. I still went to the gym, went to restaurants, worked in an office, positive GDP growth. Things just carried on, and without a massive body count. And now, that's it's basically a cold, the population is mostly vaccinated, and there is no hope of ever maintaining "COVID-zero" the government is slowly easing restrictions without overloading the health system. Taiwan's COVID response should be hailed as genius, yet you still have blowhards that feel like they were right all along.
That’s not what Americans mean by “fixed rate”. In US, that means 30, or more rarely 15 year mortgage, where the rate is fixed for entire duration. The mortgage where it’s only fixed for some initial period is called “adjustable rate mortgage”. Your comment just supported the person you replied to being correct, that fixed rate (in US sense) mortgage market is nonexistent in most of Europe.
Something to consider is google has not built an original product that matters since gmail —- Android and YouTube we’re acquisitions. I would argue they are structurally incapable of building some significant new business internally.

Zuck seems pretty all in on VR, and if they actually get it somewhere good the financial reward is insane.

I have no way to gauge how long his interest will last. I also have my doubts it is even possible to get it somewhere good with our current level of technology —- in short I think we need some kind of low latency neural link that doesn’t require brain surgery. Anything controller or machine vision based will never be good enough for mass market (i.e. smartphone level) appeal.
As others have said, "Europe" doesn't exist for things like mortgages.

In France, for example, the standard mortgage is fixed rate, for the whole duration of the loan, which is usually 20 to 25 years.
Adjustable rate mortgages aren't quite the same.

Canada is similar to the UK - you amortize (pay back) the loan over 25-30 years. However, your mortgage is either variable (interest rate floats over time) or fixed (interest rate does change), but the loans are only for 1 to 5 years. At the end, you either "renew" your mortgage with the same lender or you "refinance" entirely.

So you can have a "fixed" mortgage, but not for the entire amortization period. But you're correct, it's more similar to the ARM mortgages in the US (potentially fixed for 5-10 years, then floating after).
> Ideally you do want to get even small ones filled as a preventative measure.

To add even more confusion, this is mostly untrue. Fillings don't last forever, so prematurely filling "starts the clock" because the filling will eventually fail and every time a filling is made, more healthy tooth must be removed. (I say mostly untrue because mercury amalgam fillings really can last multiple decades, but these have fallen out of favor).
Ultraviolet catastrophe is cool! It’s why we needed quantum physics, otherwise there would be catastrophic infinite energy emerging from random high frequency oscillations!

Think about a hypothetical city where 100% of the properties are AirBNBs. There will be no source of employees for any local businesses because there are no long-term residents. There is no vested interest to improve the city via taxes and volunteerism, because no one truly lives there. No one will move to that city because the property rates are so absurdly inflated thanks to AirBNB rates.

It’s an absurd example but cities frequently see these effects when they let AirBNB and rental properties run wild.

The entire pdf is a worthy read.
I built my first business on Heroku. Started 5 years ago and still, for the most part, it's going strong.

There are some really strong downsides (especially after the last 2 weeks) but as a dev team of 1 (mostly) it's been a life saver, and that's enough to overrule all the other downsides.

Having said that, we've suffered our own issues, with cost, latency (we're in AU) and scaling being the main ones.

We're building a new product that we're betting very heavily on and it's all on AWS serverless. I wouldn't choose Heroku again.

I think it was worth it 5 years ago, but as time goes on it becomes harder to justify.
There are jobs desperate for workers and paying more, and there are workers desperate for jobs applying en masse. They’re often overlapping now. Companies dealing with the consequences of increasing turnover are willing to pay more to avoid that problem and people are willing to quit in hopes of getting something better.

Uhm my brother just signed a fixed rate of 1.8% for the entire 20 year duration of his home loan. Belgium.
I've helped friends set up mail servers fairly often, and they've had the same experience. But I wouldn't recommend DO (especially) nor AWS for this.

I'd recommend a smaller, tech-savvy hosting provider that has been around for a long time, who has no tolerance of abuse on their network, who is easy to communicate with directly (no paying for 'Business Support' just to talk to a clueful person), and ideally who mostly rents dedicated servers / colo rather than cheap virtual servers.
what? I got a fixed below 1% rate in Belgium last year.
With historical lows on those everyone gets a fixed rate.
Now this is sensational. I'm in Taiwan and the number of severe cases is very small since the population is vaccinated. The CDC here has been saying Covid is going to come soon since late last year. They hit their vaccine targets and are reducing restrictions.

Contact tracing is trending down. They just announced yesterday you don't need to do the QR code or leave contact info at shops anymore. You're only considered a contact of a case if you live together, and even then there is now home quarantine.
I don't mean to sound flippant but isn't what you are describing just OCD ?
> I bet they'd send marines to recover him and his family if he asked. They'd get disappeared to a US black site and lost to history, but barring that, he's pretty much fenced in.

Unnecessary hyperbole. There have been several in the US intelligence community’s history who committed much more grave offenses than Snowden. They went to trial and are serving time in a federal prison.
yeah. i think of minimum entropy as a dirac delta distribution and maximum entropy as a flat uniform random distribution.

i never really understood the physical definition, but always handwaved it away with "things dissipate over time into an undetectable signal, or a flat distribution"
In the US, the standard product for many decades was a 30 year, truly fixed rate mortgage. Any of the adjustable rate products with an initial period of fixed rates are still called adjustable rate mortgages (ARM) and are short-handed as the fixed period stroke the adjustment frequency. A 7/1 is fixed for 7 years, then adjusts every year. (Annoyingly, a 5/6 is 5 years fixed and adjusting every 6 months.)

When people in one market talk about their fixed rate mortgages adjusting rates, it sounds strange to people familiar with other markets, just reinforcing the “real estate is local” adage.
I mean, some things that dentists believe in do have strong evidence, like water fluoridation and fluoride in toothpaste. And some things dentists believe in don't, like flossing.
The 30-year fixed mortgage (the entire amortization period is at one fixed interest rate) is a government created product. It would never be offered by banks, at the low rates they are, if they had to hold them on their books. The "normal" mortgages in the US prior to the FHA were 50% down and 5-year terms.

https://bebusinessed.com/history/history-of-mortgages/

Fannie and Freddie basically agree to "back" those new mortgages (typically buying them from banks and selling them off later) as long as they conform to certain requirements - 15 or 30 year terms, 10-20% down payments, etc.

It's a massive subsidy for the housing market in the US, but also addresses the social goal of making housing accessible. You can get a mortgage and the monthly payment (interest + principle) never changes over the 30 year life of the loan.

key thing for me here is: why did Salesforce buy Heroku? How does Heroku fit into Salesforce strategy?

When Heroku was incorporated by Salesforce there was no consumer facing capabilities in SF: everything was for business/sales users so Heroku was attractive to build public facing assets seamlessly connected to SF data (hence Heroku Connect). But then SF started incoporating other consumer facing featuers: Communities, Commerce (Demandware), heck they even have their own CMS now. One can predict they will push lowcode/citizen development beyond Force.com. Where does that leave Heroku? What does it bring to the table now for Salesforce?
As Tobias said in Arrested Development: "NINJA please!"
True, but information getting out is very uneven, leading to many incorrect inferences.

Russia is sustaining high losses, but they can afford many more losses than Ukraine can, without necessarily losing as a result: they can keep sending in more men, more tanks, more planes, more helicopters, and more missiles. Western countries are sending in small arms, but those need to be delivered precisely to where the Russians are by troops who know how to use them effectively.

Most of us would hate for Ukraine to lose, and Russia seems to be doing poorly, but it has frequently been a mistake to expect Russia to fail in the end just because they start out badly.

And people in Asia aren’t telling the West how to live their life, so why is the West dictating how Asian countries should do theirs?

When China didn’t tame the virus initially, they rightfully get blamed. When Taiwan and Japan did well, they get dwarfed by New Zealand, which has much less people, because its predominantly white.

Now that the West has achieved herd immunity to brute force sacrifice, they want Asia to follow suit and remove strict measures. Why? So you can go on a summer vacation?

I found the article more optimistic than sensational,

> For me, this brief quarantine in Taiwan was a glimpse into an alternate reality where pandemic response was not a shitshow. People knew what they were doing, there was a plan and adequate resources to make it work, and everyone seemed to be living in a shared reality when it came to fighting an infectious disease. Even though I was a foreigner and a potential vector for the pandemic they were trying to keep out of their country, at every step I was treated with kindness and respect.

The author can be forgiven for not noticing the clipboards used to record phone numbers. If you scan at the door you can easily overlook them.

Plus, even some reporters here still ask "what if they don't have a cellphone". From a summary of a recent CDC/CECC conference [1]

> Reporter asks about the elimination of QR code scanning nationwide. What if people dont have cellphones for the social distancing app? Chen replies if someone doesn't have one, then they don't have one (lmao).

"Don't try to understand it, feel it" - from tenet, but does sort of apply to entropy as a way of looking at problems.

I had more or less the same experience, but TBH MS uses internally the latest unreleased version of applications so those problems are partially to be expected and act as dog fooding/user testing
It will look like a somehow downfiltered square signal, because that's what it is.
The virus is clearly winning, it just matters less now. But if it matters less now, it mattered less months ago too. Vaccines have been available for a long time. It seems to me that restrictions since then have been and continue to be a waste.
The forms are a low energy state that materially arise from an entropic process. Degradation and decay can lead to more organization and beauty.
An I reading that chart correctly? Netflix added 8.3M subscribers in Q4 2021, almost as many as the rest of 2021 combined (9.9M).

Yet a 200K fall in subscribers in Q1 2022 is somehow the death-knell for the company?
Barrie, Ontario is in the middle of nowhere and houses cost $1M. Same with Kelowna, BC and Halifax, NS has doubled in price. That's not population growth, that's speculation.

The Toronto suburbs are already falling in price and Canada is only ~1 month into 4-5 rate hikes this year. And unlike the US: 1) most mortgages need to be renewed in a much higher interest rate environment and 2) a lot of Canada has recourse loans - they can come after your other assets if you sell you house for less than the loan value. No sending the keys to bank and walking away like in the US.

Toronto and Vancouver cores will correct, but rebound. Small towns and suburbs? It's going to be a bloodbath.
Here people think that COVID-19 is different from the common cold, so they have setup rules that requires you to quarantine if you get it.
Apparently the use of flash drives is due to the police shutting down power to a neighborhood and then doing raids. With a DVD player a disc would be stuck when the power is cut. So the police roll in and see you've been watching contraband and off to the dirt mines. With a flash drive you can remove it from the port and hide it even with the power out.
My understanding of entropy: it is a measure of how big a system (matter + energy from a space region) is, and how much its components have interacted with each other: Entropy ~ log(number of possible system states). As the universe unfolds, systems originally isolated are starting to interact and to form bigger systems, hence the number of possible states increases, and entropy increases too.

A Faraday Cage should give some protection from an EMP - you could probably build a good one for very little money.

There would certainly be differences between HDD and SSD, which I'll be interested to hear about.

Depending on the size of the digital information that you want to store then I'd be inclined for going for a solution that would also give you redundancy (i.e. multiple copies of your data spread over multiple faraday cages)
I've looked into this myself and one negative is that students still have some pressure to overtreat because students have graduation requirements (e.g. must do a certain number of fillings, crowns, etc.). Granted, having to run everything by a supervisor will eliminate the egregious cases.

In my experience the difference in outcomes that people have with self-hosting mail are largely down to, from most important to least, (1) the nature of the mail they are sending, (2) their choice of hosting provider, and (3) the correctness of their mail server setup. It sounds like you've got (3) sorted, so maybe (1) or (2) are relevant here.
