I remember that was the first thing I used to do on my mail servers, ever before DKIM etc. Why? I have no idea and I will never know. Is sending email via IPv6 important to me? No. Is mail delivery important to me? Yes. Why is Google such a bad player in this field? Because in spite of having the biggest email network they don't want to allocate relevant resources to handle spammers properly. In other words, they are OK with false negatives, that is us. For this reason, I'm fine with this ugly workaround.

Maybe you missed the part where Musk hired a private investigator to prove that the guy was a pedophile. The investigator lied about the evidence, and Musk did no due diligence but directed his PR team to leak those lies to the media, and then threw a hissy fit when the media didn't reprint those lies uncritically.

The whole "pedo guy is just a generic insult" is a laughable lie that Musk tried to float in court. The evidence is that Musk tried to ruin a guy because he had the audacity to call out his publicity stunt when directly asked during an interview. You need to stop defending Musk on this because what he did was incredibly dick-headed and vindictive.
Hm... it says "also observed" doesn't say necessarily at same levels. Decaf after all has some caffeine in it.

This sums up your world view. I am sitting here thinking we are all debating with someone who wants to improve society for all humans...
> I mean, that may well be true. But is so that's a problem with law enforcement and the justice system in general, not with the domain registrar.

It is a problem with the justice system.

It is also a problem with the registrar. The registrar operates in this environment and is seemingly breaking official ICANN rules.

This feels plausible but if someone wanted to SWAT someone ... there's probably other / likely easier ways to do it.

Having to registrar a domain, come up with some content, or just point the domain at some content ... then transfer it ... and then make a big deal out of it (getting attention is hard) and hoping nobody notices the easy to prove explanation that "someone transferred this to me" ... and avoiding getting caught seems like a big ordeal.

The story here is "hey random guy also hosts horrible stuff at his domain that he registered in his own name ... well he did". Maybe some folks run with that, but I'm not so so sure.

The mechanism here seems "easy" on the surface, but actually rather complicated, and odds of success seems low.
It's not magic, it takes time but crucially this is not like authoritative regimes that censor all media, you have access to information and you can vote.

If there is no one suitable to vote for, maybe you can be that guy. And on flip side, if you think no one will vote for you, maybe your opinion is not aligned with the majority in your country.
Probably comes down to your definition of a systems language.

E.g. if that means implementing low level things like cryptography APIs, or being able to define the exact memory layout of objects in memory or access raw pointers or write ASM inline then obviously that disqualifies ruby, python and js but it would mean Go qualifies.
What if there’s a print error, how do you extract the material?
> "better" technology that doesn't work well

That's a very crude way of saying it and I 100% agree. The digital revolution promised to make analog world more precise, but we ended up having so much complexity as a result and the benefits gained by precision at low level is replaced by ever increasing chaos at high level. We seem to think having many things rendered simultaneously and faster are inherently so good not just for things like games that we built frameworks like React that run big parts of the web.

It's as if we decided increasing entropy isn't so bad after all.
It seems like people many people today aren't satisfied with saying "I don't know" when it's the most reasonable answer. Every little action apparently has to be blamed on something (usually based on very little or no evidence).

It doesn't even matter why as long as twitter is aware of it, and it gets fixed soon.
We’ve experienced this 3-4 times in the last 3 years. And every time it’s extremely unnerving.

To be honest though, the practical side of things of RL can be a hit-and-miss in terms of "fun" depending on the person. It requires a lot of manual hand tuning, reward shaping, hyperparameter tuning, and general trial-and-error to make an agent do a seemingly simple-enough task, and these tricks are more heuristically and haphazardly done than what you would expect from more "conventional" programming. It is fun for the right people (who loves tinkering with stuff and also have the perseverance to continually run RL experiments that can last hours or even days). But I would imagine many getting bored by the whole experience. (Pssst.... I was one of them, switched to doing something else in the middle of grad school)

By the way, RLlib is good if you want to try out simple experiments with well-established RL algorithms, but it's really awful to use when you want to modify the algorithm even just a little bit. So it's not bad for beginner-level tutorials, but once you get the basics it might be very frustrating later on. I would recommend simpler frameworks like Stable Baselines 3 (https://stable-baselines3.readthedocs.io/en/master/ ) for a much more stable experience, if you have gained a fair bit of Python/ML programming skills at hand and don't have trouble reading well-maintained library code.
Funny seeing Jerry Anderson, only to google him and see he stepped down 4 years ago. I wonder if our number was in that book.
The Tesla factory has a BART station and a mainline rail station, so that's good. But the Tesla office is way out in the middle of nowhere.

Hmm, I wonder if swapping "private" for "secure" would change the framing. Would an application touting "secure" in their tagline, but offering an insecure plugin architecture, be disjointed? I ask because the interchangeability of "private" and "secure" has always been a fascinating dilemma to me. Their definitions are precisely what I try to poke into in this post.
You don’t sound combative at all. As others pointed out - the main issues with the 401k is liquidity and taxes. If your going to rely on that as emergency funds you’d want to make sure you had an open line of credit with a sufficient credit limit to dip into while you’re in the emergency room, mechanics shop, etc. You’d want to make sure that you had enough lead time on the payment of that debt to get to the 401k funds, and understand the tax implications.

A final thought here - there’s a temptation to see “emergency” savings as something you _might_ use, but I think for most folks (especially those with families) emergency funds are something they WILL use at some point (life happens, and it’s expensive) - so they need to be saving in addition to retirement planning. If your retirement plan explicitly includes the notion of looting the 401k at some point, then that might work for you - but for most people viewing a retirement account as emergency savings is dangerous because it leaves them under saving for inevitable bumps in the road.
bullshit, fragmentation is a loss for consumers, having standard cable helps everyone stay on the same page and advance at the same pace, avoiding useless waste, and lets everyone reuse their equipment whenever they have to buy a new phone

If you accept an offer letter, wouldn't that be a tacit contract?
Maybe, but maybe not - and maybe that negotiated difference leads to the profit slice or a higher profit slice.

Why would a person make $14.50/hour when they could make $15/hour applying directly to places?

The issue may be that so few people are looking for work right now that it's easier for convicted felons to be hired, perhaps not worrying about or taking on whatever vetting process that may or may not happen through an agency for people with a criminal record.
Koka and Vale both seem to be decent (experimental) approaches to languages that learn from Rust, both what it got right, and what it got wrong.

Good luck with that.

Even on completely spurious charges, you’ll spend time in jail, spend tens of thousands on legal fees, and spend months of your life sweating bullets.

Afterwards, you won’t even be able to sue the police thanks to qualified immunity.
Can confirm, this approach works outside of tech as well. Not just buckling down to get shit done, but be proactive enough to anticipate what’s coming and when so you don’t get buried. Don’t let your in box fill up, look available on IM, answer the phone when it rings, streamline your processes. And then otherwise take the rest of the day off except for anything new that may pop up that you can knock out.
Vultr is actually really awesome. (And highly unusual in their BGP support!)
Haskell: IHP / Thin

Because it's the only Haskell web framework I know about;)

JS: Sveltekit, Astro.build

Sveltekit for web apps because it's insanely well build & ships compiled JS code instead of a large lib like most big contenders do.

Astro for websites because it doesn't force you into any frontend frameworks (you can use Svelte, Vue, React) and focuses on static sites + partial hydration. Awesome for web performance / SEO!

Python: FastApi

Fastest way to build fast APIs with Python.

How is it anything other than out of whack if observed reality isn't statistically aligned with potential? Simple economics tells us that we get the best outcomes by aligning those. (And... motives and incentives are part of the systemic biases. As I said, you don't need to identify them to observe their results.)

Also, did you know that language changes? It's not a set of rules set down in a book somewhere. (Even French, much to their dismay.) Sexism may have meant only individual men demeaning women once, but it turns out it's a good word to describe all forms of bias based on sex or gender. So use of the term expanded. This isn't misappropriation, this is how language works.
Why would anyone use Fremont BART when Warm Springs BART almost abuts the Tesla factory?
I like the metaphor too but also so much of society hasn't figured out the sugar thing either.
>it feels political and unfair.

What I took away from the article: The behavior you're describing comes naturally to humans by our nature. We are an individualistic species and in most cases, we work towards things that will better our own situation or benefit ourselves in some way. Generally speaking, we (as humans) don't focus on fairness. I agree with you that low stakes decisions like seating charts being decided by personal bias that's influenced by office politics isnt' ideal, but that is the current situation. I also don't think that we're going to be changing this any time soon. If we can't even make large scale changes in society's thinking on things like racism, how will we go about fixing even more basic social interactions like this?
I didn't take up coffee drinking until my late-20's. At first I took my coffee black, then I read how caffeine boosts the metabolism. This draws down sugar from the blood. To avoid a cortisol response, it's best to complement the caffeine in coffee with sugar.

This study seems to confirm that fake sugar is harmful. I have family who drink fake-sugar cola products - these don't help their weight. I've seen one person fall apart 'mentally' within 1/2 hour of drinking an electrolyte beverage made with sucralose and other fake sugar.

Ideally glucose is consumed with potassium, to avoid insulin release: milk, orange juice, potatoes, etc... Fructose does not stimulate the release of insulin.

I wish I could upvote this comment more.

Yes, this is all fixable... if you are not poor and not rather unlucky. But it will take time and money. Even if you don't lose your job, I'd estimate that it would cost you $20K on the low end for legal fees.

Also, if you've done anything else even slightly illegal, and the LEA finds evidence of that when searching your stuff, even though you've been careful and haven't had cause to attract their attention previously... well... that's another whole bunch of trouble.
Neon gas is extracted from the atmosphere via factional distillation. There is location specific requirement such as access to mineral deposits required. There are many other companies that similar distillation. It should be fairly straightforward for them to re-tool to the specs needed for chip manufacturing. I don't think this is going to be a long term problem.
I'd like to stay anonymous on the matter, but I've worked in various regulated industries. Now days I do none of this .
Yes you said that already. I asked why they meaningfully punished a very rich entity in response.
Helpfully, the US Government, specifically the SEC, defines the term “public company” for us:

“There are two commonly understood ways in which a company is considered public: first, the company’s securities trade on public markets; and second, the company discloses certain business and financial information regularly to the public.

In general, we use the term to refer to a company that has public reporting obligations.”

They’re talking about $TWTR, not Amtrak.
> and some of which had the audacity to run their own central banks outside the approved system

The US was not pushing to invade those countries in order to prop up the USD, it was pushing to invade them because of aid they were sending to other countries and to assert control over those areas. Where are you getting from that Wesley Clarke video that this was primarily about currency or that aid/funding going over Bitcoin would remove those motivations?

I mentioned elsewhere that you can buy and sell oil with Bitcoin, but it bears repeating: Bitcoin doesn't make exploitation, theft, or manipulation impossible. The United States does a lot of unethical stuff in order to secure value and control, and moving from USD to Bitcoin doesn't get rid of the concept of value. It doesn't mean that the United States would magically stop wanting to control the financial infrastructure around currency exchanges, it doesn't mean it would stop caring about raw materials and economic agreements with other countries.

There's nothing in the Bitcoin protocol that prevents it from being spent on guns, oil, or bribes. There's nothing in the Bitcoin protocol that prevents it from being funneled to dictators, or used to fund coups or tear down governments. The US didn't sabotage a bunch of countries after the Cold War because they had a different currency than us, it sabotaged them because they were Communist and the US didn't like the form of government they had chosen.

Of course, there would be benefits to a decentralized currency, and if Bitcoin was good at being a decentralized currency then there would be benefits to moving to Bitcoin. But even if Bitcoin was a good decentralized currency, moving to it would not magically get rid of any of the underlying motivations countries have for wielding geopolitical power in unethical ways. It's not that having more ways to move money around or make payments wouldn't probably be good for the world. But it wouldn't solve every problem, or even most problems.

Even with tariffs: a lot of the mechanisms the US uses for tariffs target shipping, currency exchanges, raw materials, and market access. If Bitcoin could help circumvent anything it would be tariffs, but in practice it's not even particularly amazing at circumventing them on a large scale. And I don't see much evidence that Bitcoin actually does get rid of motivations to prop up governments or artificially shape geopolitical environments around market access. That's not to say that the USD doesn't matter at all, just... not as much as you're characterizing. Cars don't run on Bitcoin, they run on cheap oil.
"Good artists borrow, great artists steal"

Creativity is a very vague word, I'm sure we can come up with definitions of it that let humans keep sole domain over it. But breakthroughs often come from combining domains and concepts, very very rarely do we ever jump out of one local maxima into another, and I'm not even convinced that Copernicus counts as that. There's a reason why there are so many examples of the same breakthrough happening in multiple places in the world independently - innovation is a slow gradual collaborative process and not plateaus waiting for men of genius to have a spark of inspiration.

Also I'm not convinced that a computer couldn't have discovered the earth revolves around the sun - it's hard to make machine learning jump out of local maxima, but it does happen, and I can see some hidden layers becoming far more efficient at predicting outcomes by stumbling across a model that centered the sun. That being said - there likely are examples of things that computers couldn't have theoretically figured out the model for, but I'm hard pressed to think of one.
> Blodget doesn’t even own BI

Nobody I saw claimed he owns BI. He's a cofounder and the current CEO though and therefore does run BI. Just had to call you out on that for spreading a falsehood by trying to twist someone else's words while trying to make a claim about "fake news".

But I also never said it was him either, someone else did. I have no clue who it is and don't even want to get into a guessing game of it. It could be Elon himself for all we know. I was just pointing out that someone knew and opened the short.

In many ways the iPhone was the first modern smartphone.

You can pretty easily draw a line and see stuff designed before the iPhone largely looked like the Treo or the Blackberry. Things designed after largely looked like the iPhone.

The Treo was more of a Palm Pilot with a cell phone built in, or the same but Windows Mobile PDA. The Blackberry was a two-way pager expanded into a cell phone.

The iPhone was sort of designed from the ground up to be a smart phone (the Sidekick may fit this too).

The Treo was nice (never got to have one) but it’s kind of a different generation. The iPhone generation (along with Android) is when smartphones exploded in popularity.
>My grand idea is creating an intentional community with some glamping areas for cashflow, a community garden, shared tools and worker space with 3d printers, recreational vehicles, brooms, rakes, etc...things you really don't need to 'own', and cut back on too much consumerism. The idea being if you had 2 city blocks and everyone was related or at least friendly and built a huge garage to share items they maybe use infrequently, how much space would that free up for more people to live, or to work on a hobby or something?

The shared garage idea seems hopelessly naive to me. What is stopping someone from stealing the items? Who maintains the items? What happens if the items break either via negligence or normal wear and tear? It is a classic tragedy of the commons problem.

I live in a low-income neighborhood and we literally can't have anything nice. Neighbor gets a BBQ and puts it in the courtyard literally chained down. Someone gets some bolt cutters and steals it. The courtyard regularly gets trash dumped in it and if you clean it up people will immediately just dump more. I stopped trying to clean it up when people started just tossing entire garbage bags of trash out there. Our shared laundry space got vandalized by bored kids now there is only one functional washer and dryer. These are usually full of clothes (some people leave their laundry in them for days) so you have to drive to a laundromat if you want any chance of getting laundry done on your day off.
I think part of the issue that the “very security conscious” people are wary of is trusting an entity like Microsoft not to quietly increase what data they are collecting beyond what is actually beneficial to users. I love the idea of using telemetry to improve products and I know that crash reporting, when introduced back in office, led to fixes for an absolutely staggering number of bugs (I worked at MSFT at the time and know that crash reporting led to legitimate and gigantic leaps forward in software quality), but I also think the agreement needs to be very very explicit about what types of data they will collect and include promises that they won’t be expanding this definition for other purposes. They really need to spell out, in plain and convincing language, that they understand this concern and promise not to violate that trust in order for me to check the “yes, collect my data to improve the product AND FOR NO OTHER REASON” checkbox.
If you want to get ICANN to fix this vulnerability, you could fix it:

A. The Proper Way: Find the right person at ICANN, send letters, follow-up, and hope they understand and prioritize the issue so it's addressed in some number of years.

or

B. The Fast Way: Register a funny yet embarrassing domain name, transfer it to a senior ICANN official, tweet to some journalists idle speculation wondering why this person has such a domain name. The vulnerability will be addressed ASAP. :-)
