Ask HN: Best email hosting and management solution for multiple domains?
What services and best practices would you advise for centrally managing multiple emails over multiple domains ? These would include a personal email domain and several business / side project domains. Each domain would obviously need several adresses.

From what I’ve seen Gmail and Office 360 don’t seem quite suited to this scenario, since you tend to have to spread things out over several paid accounts.

Obviously, good deliverability would be a strong requirement as well as ease of use. Some interesting features to have might be the ability to merge or keep separate inboxes depending on their intended use and offer private inboxes to employees.

If anyone has any experience in doing this or any services to recommend, it would be much appreciated ! Thanks.
I play a lot of games with my 6yo, our top suggestions:

1. Chuchel (point&click about a funny creature in pursuit of a cherry)

2. Donut County (drop things into a hole that gets bigger)

3. The Henry Stickmin Collection (classic multiple choice 2D animated Flash game extended, funny)

4. Superliminal (very imaginative space distortion puzzle, adult help needed)
"Yer face, yer ass? Whats the difference?"

Definitely a classic!
>>> Portugal. Land is cheap and plentiful

Really interesting! Can you provide ballpark as to prices. I know 3-4 families from NYC area that moved to Portugal recently. If you wish to buy a vineyard here, in a choice location, you'll be priced out at like $50k per acre. If you can even find a plot of tillable land available that covers 50+ acres. Alternately, Amazon is subletting 10M of warehouse space in NJ, so you could grow grapes indoors?

It’s not like everyone else is chilling with the current inflation running wild. True, Turkey had a lot of inflation before the whole war thing, but that was due to an atrocious monetary policy, with rampant nepotism on Erdogan’s behalf.

I like CDs. I just don't listen to music on physical media enough to really justify having a dedicated setup anymore.

My boss, on the other hand, collects the damn things. He's got an entire large bookshelf filled with vintage CD players...

To me, vinyl is a collectible, or at least, a way to show "yes I appreciate this music and want to show off that I enjoy it". If I like an artist/album enough, I'll buy the vinyl if I can. But it usually just sits on the shelf looking pretty. I got lucky and my player (nothing special but it works so long as you have a good cartridge) was from my dad. When I actually listen to said album, it's usually on my phone over bluetooth (earbuds or in the car), or even if I'm listening on the "hi fi" it's streaming.

Not to say that I never play albums on the turntable, it's just not that often.
EPA raises amount of ethanol that must be blended with gas
technically true, but the "violence" is like, pressing a button when one abstract line overlaps another. it's like playing Super Hexagon. about the only thing that makes it "violent" is the fact you have to press a button labeled Fight, once in the entire game.
This is one of my huge irritations with the “advancements” in tech. Is it too much to ask for my $1000+ 256GB device to have an mp3 experience at least as good as the one I could buy 20 years ago?! Apple Music is has slowly devolved into a worse and worse mp3 player. It’s much worse than the old ios itunes used to be, and it’s a deliberate choice they’re making.

I don't think people understand the purpose of Spotify and every user interaction they engage you with. Spotify is not for you - you're not the customer. Big labels are. Podcasters are. You're a product and you're being shown what's been paid for.

Why do people couch their interactions with big tech as if they matter? What are you going to do, NOT use Spotify? Fat chance.

I have heard it said[1] that the complexity of our modern government is a consequence of the computerization of its bureaucratic functions. In effect, the complexity of implementing crazily esoteric laws used to regularize how crazily esoteric the laws could be. No more.

If time-traveling debugging becomes table stakes then we will build systems that can only be debugged by time traveling debuggers. Specifically, because we'll lose our healthy fear of complexity beyond what logging and a normal debugger can manage. And that fear (more often called "experience") is about the only thing that causes the greybeards to push the non-greybeards for simple, elegant solutions.

I think we collectively go further, faster without the magic because magic makes us willing to discount complexity.

But I am something of a Luddite.

I tried out Apple Music for the first time because I got a trial for it. I was shocked with how slow and unresponsive the interface is. Not only that songs had a noticeable delay between when they were clicked and when they actually started playing
I was astounded at how bad Apple Music is. I’m not talking about missing features or lack of polish, but that I’d click play on a song and a different song on the list would start playing. And this bug persisted for months on the web version before I left. The mobile app was just so lacking as well.

Not at all what I expect from apple. Honestly the only reason Spotify still exists is because Apple and Google are doing such a dismal job.

Most likely a global rejection of AI would only be possible after a fairly large accident that people would want to avoid.

If it's not a global rejection then it won't work; some country or corporation will keep working and eventually achieve superhuman AGI.

Once superhuman AGI is achieved it will rapidly self-improve and be capable of strategizing effective ways to avoid being rejected.

So the most likely scenario for an AI rejection working is an "oops" where someone creates a near-human-level agent that begins the process of figuring out how to tell all the computers in the world that they should help improve the model by running code snippets included in oddly shaped packets, but gets it wrong and just crashes everything connected to the internet for a few weeks until we manage to re-flash to original firmware and reinstall from read-only optical media and begin to bring stuff back online.

All the other scenarios leave plenty of incentives for AI to keep progressing.

The throughput of GNU yes may be higher, but the simpler unbuffered implementations probably have a shorter latency to first line output, and since in most cases the program on the other end of the pipe only reads a handful of line, or more liely just one, this means they will actually be faster.

Show HN: Reader mode extension that shows Hacker News comments inline
Hey! This is a reader mode browser extension I built that hides noisy page elements rather than only extracting and re-rendering their text content. The idea is to not make all articles look the same [0], have them still render graphs, and ideally to work in more cases.

There are a few "tricks": patching the site CSSOM to apply simpler mobile styles even at desktop width, cleaning up parents of DOM text nodes, blocklists for class names that contain words like "sidebar", plus manual CSS patches for popular sites.

I got carried away and also added a dark mode, page outlines, privates notes & inline Hacker News comments.
The last feature works by parsing every top-level HN comment with a quote in it (formatted with > or "") within a few minutes, and anchoring these quotes in the story article HTML. So when you open a link you'll directly see the parts people are talking about here. [1]

The extension code is all on GitHub: https://github.com/lindylearn/unclutter

I have a 2022 and it phantom brakes all the time. We haven’t touched any settings and if it were a settings issue, I’m sure someone in the Tesla community would have figured it out (there are a lot of Tesla’s out there and yours seems to be the only one that isn’t affected). Moreover, a phantom braking setting would be pretty insane—I have a hard time believing they prioritized a phantom braking feature over, say, more media app integrations.
Oh God, this thread will be the usual Germany bashing. There is nothing fundamentally wrong with how Germany handles corporations. The German corporate law is actually pretty good. If I could change two things, I would make IHK membership optional and allow free filings of the financial reports. These are changes that a willing government could implement in a heartbeat.

And I think no country should handle corporations like the US does. The US is a tax haven and the corporate system doesn't benefit anyone but the owners.
> I didn't discover a single new artist through it.

That's surprising. I've never used Spotify for this, but 10+ years ago used Pandora for that purpose. I was overjoyed with the new artists I learned about.
Yeah, they can't even tell you they don't have it. I wanted to watch лучше чем люди (Better Than Us), which was recommended to me by a co-worker as available on Netflix.

It looks like I was too late and it had left their catalogue again, but anything I found on the internet was either "look at this nice show available on Netflix" (posted 2 years ago) or, very very rarely, a Netflix page with a grayed out play button. Again, no explanation.

It was the first time in a long while I had opened it and also the last.

Electronics & cars is nothing new, it was always like that. But this year, all kind of food and basic necessities has become more expensive.

But they do.

In fact every hiring post here has plenty of German companies

Clarifying the Implications of the Reinhart-Rogoff Excel Error (2013)
it's easier than ever before to discover new artists

Not really.

It's easier than ever to be exposed to a select group of pre-selected songs by a small subset of artists churned out by a computer program for the purpose of getting you to continue your subscription. That's not discovery.

Go into any real music store, like Louisiana Music Factory in New Orleans, Amoeba Music in Los Angeles, or Electric Fetus in Minneapolis, and you'll find thousands of albums and artists that are not on streaming, never have been on streaming, and never will be on streaming.

The tech companies have made people believe that they're seeing everything, but they're not. They're just looking through a keyhole into the world of music.

For example, Apple boasts something like 90 million songs on Apple Music. The reality check is that's probably less than 1% of the world's recorded music.

People on HN rail against "walled gardens" in app stores, and then wall themselves into one streaming service or the other because they bought the infinite music hype, and don't even know it.
Like the other comment said, these are not exactly kid-friendly games. But! You just listed 2 of my all time favorite, and the other one is on top of my to-play list. Please list more games!
You can use name constraints on the CA, but they are a bit hit and miss when it comes to client support.

For a local CA with the CA only on one machine you're perhaps OK if you are careful, but once you share the server with a couple of collegues you are potentially into a world of hurt.

On OSX you can choose "Always Trust" or "Never Trust" for various purposes (code signing, SSL, EAP, etc).

Why can't I have "Ask first time", or "Trust only for specific domains"

Same with built in ones. That "Hong Kong Post" root CA raises some eyebrows with me, I'd love to set that to "Ask first time" on it.
Spotify won’t even let you view an artist’s songs in order, which frustrates me because I like to listen to entire discographies in order while working. I spent one weekend building a free tool to generate chronological playlists for an artist - https://www.timelineify.com.

A decent number of people use this, which I think indicates some clear gaps in Spotify’s basic display features. Luckily the Spotify API is very generous with the data they expose about artists.
Since we're here any recommendations for a two player collaborative game I can play with my 4yo son ? I would be preferably able to assist/protect him. Right now we are playing twinbee and arkanoid for snes
i get ptsd reading about this and would rather die than having a gmbh again even though i had a holding ug from the start. what also no one tells you is that to get rid of these companies if it does not work out takes one to 2 years and costs a few thousand euros and many nerves you likely don't have anymore at that point. if i start again i am moving to estonia and start a OÜ.
The problem facing these tools is a catch-22 really - diagrams are useful when understanding big messy codebases but big messy codebases are hard to visualise.

For instance, I frequently build small paper diagrams of different code paths through a component and nearly always find leaky abstractions, mixed layers of abstractions, weird cyclical dependencies, etc. etc. and there really is no clear way to diagram this. Instead, you sort of have to make judgements and assumptions to make the diagram concise and understandable; the sort of decisions that machines just aren't that good at.

On the other side, when code is simple and easy to follow then the pay off of building a diagram just isn't there.
will be nice to do the same with one of the full keyboard devices like communicator or E72

New markets, new players, of course. The thing is that Binance is not going to replace Goldman Sachs, but if it becomes a viable alternative at some point, then we would have more players overall.
This was the exact plan for N900, sadly it failed (Neo900 project)
You can download or dump your own CDM. I think Spotify uses L3, it's pretty straightforward, once you know how to do it.
Also you „only“ need 12500€ to start. Though you’re still liable for the full 25000€ if things go sideways.
Right now I have offerings in Spain, Portugal, Arizona, The Netherlands, Slovenia, Kroatia, Norway, Finland.
For Americans I can offer a permanent visa for Europe as well, this is why the main focus is on Spain and Portugal.

I constantly search around the world, but most lands do not qualify because of local political rules.
My best is a 100 acre(!) forest on the slope of a mountain. I have several mountain plots with a whitewater river flowing all year. Land plots with an entire forest or lake.

I tried to offer land in Kazachstan, Ukrain, Bangladesh, India, Argentina, Costa Rica, Australia and the Amazon rainforest but either foreigners are not allowed to own land or it is without Starlink or fiber backbones where not available or the country is involved in a war.

Above $50K (including the land, mobile house and infrastructure) I have a lot more offerings worldwide. Islands in Belize or very remote pacific islands, but you need a boat so its more than $50K. Desert locations, but you must have 4WD and only have two satelite or radio 100mbps connections and need multiple batteries, no fiber. Medical facilities only by plane or helicopter.

Portal has machine gun turrets that shoot you until you are dead. The entire end is pretty violent, probably act 2-3 really.
Most of my choices have already been mentioned, except for The Blackwell Series.

Point-and-click adventure games are typically heavy on the story side and low on violence, and the biggest problem with them is the level of difficulty of puzzles. Blackwell doesn't have anything you're going to get stuck on, the actions follow logically.

Yes I remember, but this was a different world, it was a world without reputation networks, without ip black lists, with SPF/DKIM.

There is not reason at all to suspect that a message from a small server with proper SPF and DKIM that has never sent spam (for real or spoofed, see SPF), is spam. The other half is from small servers that sprung over night and have no reputation.

Half of the spam I receive is from google/outlook/amazon. They don't block each other, do they?
No problem. I like that you chose to go with POSIX Extended Regexes and FAs instead of going the Perl route.
We need to distinguish ability and willingness. And nobody will ever be satisfied, it's a constant struggle for control, from all sides. For what they cost, I think the streaming services in general offer a good deal. Not that I'm overly satisfied with any of them.
+1 to this idea. The Halo novels are a great read and you'll do some ground work in introducing them to the lore before they play the games.

Wouldn't it be as easy as having money invested with a foreign broker? Granted, this won't work if capital controls prevents money from easily flowing across the border, or if your country is sanctioned.
In this context, “well-regulated” meant “in good working order” - not literally regulated by a governing body.
Spotify's UI is the absolute worst. The craziest thing to me is that it's never improved either, it's always been down bad.
- Managing music offline is _terrible_. The first iPod did it well in 2001, but Spotify still can't let you navigate your downloaded music while offline on mobile at in any reasonable manor
- The "Now Playing" mechanism is awkward and confusing. Sometimes your playlist disappears as you play it, eliminating the "previous track" function
- If you come across the song while listening to a playlist, and you want to switch to listening to song in the context of the album instead of the playlist, there's no way to do it without restarting the song from the start (Apps like Foobar 2000 do this extremely well)
- Their recommendation engine is (generally) terrible. There's one particular song I get every single time I play one of three of my generated "mixes" even though I choose "Don't Recommend" every single time it comes on.
- My generated "mixes" are almost identical every day. Gimme something I haven't heard before!
- On the topic of not wanting to hear a particular artist, they added "Block Artist" functionality, as a compromise in response to anger that controversial artists like Chris Brown were allowed to stay on the platform. Annoyingly though, you can only access this feature from mobile. Like if I wanted to listen to The Smiths on my laptop for some reason, I'd have to first use my phone to unblock them (I blocked them due to the aforementioned "Don't Recommend" feature not working)
- They are a shitty podcast player, so I use the excellent Pocket Casts instead. Unfortunately, there's no way to not to be exposed to be inundated with ads for their original podcasts whenever you're navigating the app
- I resent the idea of podcasts being locked to a specific platform in the first place. It's bad enough that we have a dozen different streaming services, but now we have vendor lockin with podcasts? Give me a break.
- No lossless audio in 2021
- Artist pages are a fragmented mess. Look at the page for Barenaked Ladies for an example. Their catalog is hard to navigate because they have such a large amount of live albums. Why put live albums in with studio albums?
- Similarly, multiple editions of the same album are listed separately (but not always). Look at the page for The Beatles for an example. They have 3 versions of Sgt Peppers (various special editions which came out over the years), and they are all tagged as 1967. Then they have a "Super Deluxe" of Let It Be which apparently came out in 2021. Why do contemporary reissues and remasters sometimes have the date of the remaster, and other times have dates of the original albums?

I could go on...
