I've been doing the same for 20+ years (started in 2001, at the time hosting my own sendmail), so I have used custom email aliases in thousands of sites, from retailers, banks, government websites, and everything else you can possibly imagine. My recent experience has been similar to yours, but it is a more recent development.

In the beginning I used to receive a lot of spam -- sometimes dozens per day. I'd frequently get blasted with dozens of the same spam, to every possible alias they had access to. Sometimes they would use randomized From: addresses or other small customizations to trick spam filters, but frequently not even that.

Also I remember receiving spam on addresses used for companies which had never publicly disclosed they'd been hacked (looking at you, NYC MTA [1]). A few times I tried reaching out to the company to alert them, but it was always met with skepticism, plain denial, or outright passive-aggressiveness (e.g., "_How do you know?_", potentially implying I was involved). Fool's errand.

At some point I moved to Gmail when they started offering Google Apps for Business with custom domains. At the beginning their spam filter was very weak, but it got progressively better.

Over the last 5-6 years, the volume decreased dramatically. At most I get a couple of dozen emails per week (almost all flagged as Spam). I'd imagine the combination of IP filtering, email authentication (DMARC, SPF, DKIM), and ML-based spam filtering got so good that spam isn't profitable for anymore.

I also monitor my domains with Have I Been Pwned [2]. As of today, I have 59 of my aliases in leaked databases -- which is a small fraction of the leaks I've experienced firsthand over the years.

I ran CentOS on the desktop for many years. It was a very nice, solid setup that I could rely on updating without sweating about an upgrade breaking something. I've recently switched to fedora in light of recent CentOS 8 shenanigans but CentOS 7 was wonderful at the time.
Dispersion has been evident since FRBs were discovered in 2007. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_radio_burst]

"The component frequencies of each burst are delayed by different amounts of time depending on the wavelength. This delay is described by a value referred to as a dispersion measure (DM). This results in a received signal that sweeps rapidly down in frequency, as longer wavelengths are delayed more."

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_(optics)#Pulsar_emi...]

"dispersion measure (DM) is the column density of free electrons (total electron content) — i.e. the number density of electrons (electrons/cm3) integrated along the path traveled by the photon from the pulsar to the Earth"
It seems the annual income vs. CPI is the core chart here. Something happened in the decade of 2000-2010 to throw things out of whack. I'm not informed enough to know if that was the result of policy decisions or what, but I'd like to know how wage growth declined so dramatically during this time while prices seemed to maintain its projected linear growth.
Did you keep it? Or did you return it? What did you end up doing?
Cheaper than a Chromebook! It looks like I'll have to buy one.
The keyboard on the M2 Air is probably the best laptop keyboard I ever had.
> While latency over a local network connection is low, it's nowhere near as low as over a PCI or SATA connection that spans less than a meter. This means that the average latency of disk operations (from the perspective of the operating system) can be on the order of a couple milliseconds, compared to half a millisecond for directly-attached disks.

uh, you can get a packet from your software on one machine, through a switch and into your software on the second machine in 1-2us if you know what you're doing

(of course, that's without any cloud bullshit like passing the packet through half a dozen levels of virtualisation, then through software defined networks)
Home prices are misleading because real estate has become an inflation-proof place to store wealth, like stocks but with nuanced subsidies. Even homeowners who live in the house are partially buying with the expectation to sell it for more later. Call it a bubble that never fully pops. In some less countries with higher inflation and less developed markets, this is so extreme that nobody really buys a house, only buys a piece or inherits.

Better to look at rent, which isolates the utility part.
So does this make catastrophism real
Agreed. I have some i5 x230 Thinkpdads from eBay and they are all perfectly fine with new SSD + maxed out RAM
At least they can buy cheap TVs, right?
I wonder if we can finally accept that just because things like phones and TVs got better faster than purchasing power got worse, doesn't mean that it hasn't been getting worse for a while. I'd even go so far to say that technical progress in a couple areas has hidden some pretty stark declines. Or at least allowed some people to point at shiny things getting better when complaints surfaced.
My understanding is that the Linux devs like only having "Linux" only be the kernel; if they wanted to run things BSD-style (whole base system developed as a single unit) I assume they would have done that by now (it's been almost 30 years).

That's not what OP meant.

We get to see every failure mode of apple devices because they are so homogeneous and sold in very high numbers. By comparison the asus xifudjeh-9938293-ax-2021-ab-? has maybe a few hundred units sold world wide.
Well, after doing this for 30+ years, but not actually trying to run any experiments, I have found the opposite. Of the 1670 email aliases that I've created, I've received spam at about 5% of them. Sometimes it happens years after any interaction, possibly from a sale of assets after a shutdown. Sometimes it happens immediately (within a day or two of being created). Sometimes it's from a breach that the other party may not be aware of (yet). Sometimes it's from a dictionary email attack. Just last week I was spammed from South America to an email address I only ever provided to my local police station.

I have no idea what "hot" email addresses sell for on the dark nets, but it's probably something greater than $0, which means the outsourced third-world CRM workers will scrape and sell them whenever possible.
How did he create value? They took in $22B and the company is now worth about $4B. Explain this value creation to me.
I've set up SLAAC before but it's not something I do often. Frankly I'm still on the fence of whether or not v6 was a good idea. Fiddling in the drawers with the MAC address is EUI-64 though, and I was under the impression that the SLAAC "client" doesn't broadcast any kind of discovery message - it just listens to the network to determine the prefix, and then generates the EUI-64 portion as its host address since it should be globally unique as it's based on its MAC address.

Like I said, I don't touch v6 much and I'm pretty surprised at how far we've made it past v4 allocations drying up and everything still seems to work.

> Therefore if the quantum state of a system is fully described by its wavefunction

Big if. Real systems interact with their environment, which means every psi calculation is approximate, as there is no limit to the possible expansion of domain the wave function is defined on. If we want full description, we end up with the necessity to work with wave function of the whole universe. This means that argument for non-existence of simultaneous values of conjugates does not work. This was after all analyzed by EPR and Bell and the result is, conjugate pairs may simultaneously exist in non-local theories.
Officially these types of things can manifest as ‘joint ventures’ or ‘partner programs’.

Unofficially they are your sales AE hooking you up outside of work :)
I was using us to mean all customers in Apple Store.

The stories from winter when there was unionization talk were horrific.

https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-employees-plan-walkout...

I don’t know, but if it were me being subjected to that, all customers would likely start looking the same and I’d probably not be sympathetic to giving them the benefit of the doubt. I definitely could be wrong but I suspect there are a lot of tired retail workers out there.
"health issues"—like birth defects, significantly reduced lifespans, teeth falling out, cancers et al. I can't stress enough how unpleasant these "health issues" are.
Sadly, I think Mozilla is beyond saving at this point. I was a long time Firefox user until 2021 - since inception, and Netscape before that. I've since stopped using it in favor of Brave - which actually delivers what Firefox had been promising. Mozilla's been hopelessly mismanaged for well over a decade and has been bleeding users the entire time. This is doubly unfortunate because they do have some genuinely solid tech and one of the only independent rendering engines. The CEO should have been shown the door back in 2012.
Median age is too high for revolutions. Most people are tired and chugging along.
Big Pharma and their fraudulent vaccine trials were enough for me…

How does this establish that we can trust the oracles telling us what time it is?

The only way I could see this working very long term and for important data is by using the bitcoin blockchain (often called the timechain) as a clock that literally can't be cheated because the proof of work allows you to independently verify that some amount of real world energy and computational machines were consumed to lock in every block. Otherwise, how do you not end up with a Byzantine generals problem?

But maybe I lack imagination.

Was going to post a counterexample, but in the time I have been out of the UK ... man the prices have gone up a lot! You can probably get a 1 bed for 200k but that is not cheap. For an American it might be OK (GBP seems to have lost a lot of value)

If you need affordability you would need to move away from the south east. As a digital nomad ... you can!

Everyone in the chain of command who thought that disciplining her over this is the correct course of action, should be fired. Her manager for threatening to terminate her should be immediately terminated.
This also happened to my own 2019 16" Intel MacBook Pro, and an acquaintance with that same model laptop even had it happen twice - to both the original and the replacement screen.

In all cases it wasn't a full crack but rather some sort of depression/fold mark, starting near but not touching the bottom edge, and all shared a similar bendy shape.

We both individually got the standard "first time we're seeing this" when first contacting support, and also both felt there was some sort of unnatural/forced tight-lipness or non-responsiveness in response to any speculation as to the cause.

To me this behaviour indicated that they were not particularly happy with either the responses they were giving, the nature of the request, or whatever obvious or non-obvious consequences any of this would have for either party.
If you add external monitors, keyboard and mouse you just recreated non-mobile work environment that costs more money and has worse performance than workstation.
The Unix way, is that wget does the backoff. And wget is very, very good at retry, backoff, jitter handling, etc. Frankly, you'll not find anything better.

If wget fails, you don't retry... at least not until next run.

And wget (or curl, or others) do reply with return codes which indicate what kind of error happened. You can also parse stderr.

Of course you could programmatically handle backoff in bash too, but.. why? Wget is very good at that. Very good.

===

In terms of 'junior dev', a junior dev can't contribute to much without ramp up first. I think you mean here, 'ramp up on bash' and that's fair... but, the same can be said for any language you use. I've seen python code with no error checking, and a gross misunderstanding of what to code for, just as with bash.

Yet like I said, I 100% agree there are issues in some cases. What you're saying is not entirely wrong. However, what you're looking for, I think, is not required much of the time, as wget + bash is "good enough" more often than you'd think.

So I think our disagreement here is, how often your route is required.
I doubt many people remember or care at this point, certainly not enough to influence their perceptions of nuclear energy. The Simpsons slipped out of the cultural zeitgeist many years ago.
I think it's perhaps more random than that. Friend of mine had a problem with an older MBP. He took it in to get repaired, it was going to be a system board replacement, but since they didn't have that part handy they just sent him out with a brand new MBP with comparable (but slightly better) specs than his original.

For all the people complaining about Apple, they haven't screwed me over yet either, I've only had good experiences. All hardware, I haven't had a software issue I couldn't find the fix for on my own.
Ricers wanna rice! Can we spin the globe so fast that it breaks apart?

How does one compare the purchasing power for a phone, which would be like a million dollars back in the day (if it was built to do a fraction of the things it can do now)?

I enjoyed the article and I think there should be more thought on gnoseology (that's what the post is about). The problem is: you don't know what weird means. You could think of it as something outside what the majority thinks, but then you have a biased idea of what the majority thinks. It's way harder then what is presented here
I get what you're saying, but that would be the bottom tier of the creative industry, which is just one portion of the whole.
They also weren't competing with a bunch of people with college degrees so except at the highest end a college degree was less of a necessity therefore they could get away without wasting 4yr on it.
> a natural consequence of capital growing faster than wage?

No. It’s the result of our real estate and housing system. (Stocks and Bitcoin can go up faster than wages without spiking CoL.)
Well it sounds like your ASUS needs a damn good kicking!

A router moves packets from A->B and a firewall defines what is allowed from A->B.

ULA to NPT is router stuff: NPT literally means "Network Prefix Translation" it turns all your IPv6 addresses into a normalised one and shifts them.

We are not talking about ports or protocols yet, just (IP) addresses.
Looking at the release notes (https://cloud.google.com/iot/docs/release-notes) it seems like you could see it coming as there was no new features since 2019. This doesn't help GCP credibility compared to other cloud providers, AWS still supports legacy EC2-Classic from the early 2010s for god sake.
So go to the website and use it. Many of us simply find it as a way for more propaganda to be fed to us unasked-for when we open up a new tab (at least, until we remember to turn it off).
At this point it might be useful to think of what Google projects are unlikely to be deprecated soon, or rather, has the potential of surviving deprecation. For instance, would Flutter being an open-source framework be able to save it from Google discontinuing it? Or is having to update it to mimic iOS behavior across its Cupertino widgets with each update too much?
I am sorry, I am not following. Could you elaborate pls? How come an enterprise company be willing to close any deals without even using or seeing the product? Anyone can say anything on a bunch of slides. That doesn't mean any company will be willing to sign a contract with them without even demoing a basic MVP?
Wasn't worth the hype for me at all. My m1 MBP might have better performance than my x1 carbon but my x1 walks all over the m1 in terms of software I can install thoughtlessly. I tried for months to get parallels + Ubuntu to do everything I needed it do to but I had to switch back to the x1 (which I could reformat today and have my productivity be the same within an hour); what a waste of time and money.
That’s not it at all. You don’t know what it is so stop making things up.

Is this not what “+” addresses are for?

Many email providers automatically create a folder with the “plus” name.

For example: youremail+company@yourdomain.com

Creates a folder named “company” and puts those received emails into it.
You don't, because that's not a sensible way of looking at things.
I'm not trying to make a case that Macs are inferior. A Nissan is a much crappier car than a BMW, but I would bet on the crappier Nissan to run much longer without need of serious maintenance.
I'm an older millenial, should be earning a good wage (doctor/consultant etc..) in the UK. Correction, I am earning a good wage. My parents can't understand how so much of my money goes towards mortgage, commuting costs, bills, childcare.

Some things are a lot cheaper. A midi controller, DAC converter, HDMI splitter - these are all cheap imports from china these days. Toys for kids are cheaper, but also cheaply made. But labour is so expensive - building work, window cleaning, childcare, carpentry etc.. Lots of things grossly expensive now - houses, disneyland, centreparcs, football and sports tickets.

It's only going to get worse. Hundreds of pounds more leave my bank account this year for energy costs, nearly a thousand more may leave my bank account next year for mortgage costs. I might just sell up and go somewhere else.
This has been going on since 2017, when they first started thinning their laptops to the limit or maybe beyond as far as the LCD glass reliability is concerned. My Macbook pro 2017 screen also cracked for no apparent reason and had to pay Apple the full price for a screen replacement for no fault of mine. https://youtu.be/Z--7YRRhCWg?t=38

Any example you can share of enterprise companies that were started with just a slide deck and got a pilot with an enterprise? I am not talking of slide deck to get VC funding, but a company willing to use your product which hasn't even demoed yet and is giving you a deal
Sad thing is, in my experience, they're still one of the best when it comes to service lol.
This doesn't make sense at all to me.

They're comparing income in constant 2022 dollars with the CPI. That's saying "if we adjusted historical salaries for inflation, then assumed that the constant 2022 dollar numbers were actually nominal numbers for each point in history, then people would've been able to buy much more stuff back then". Which is true, but not very meaningful.

The whole point of the constant 2022 dollar adjustment is to back out the effect of inflation. If 2020 average salaries in 2022 dollars were $44.2K, and 1970 average salaries in 2022 dollars were $24.6K then 2020 workers have 80% higher purchasing power for whatever basket is used for the deflator.
Looks like their propaganda is working. Do you realize that everyone already pays to maintain a connection to the grid? It's right there on your electric bill whether you have solar or not. Getting solar doesn't exempt you from existing fees and taxes. In fact some utilities don't even allow you to disconnect from the grid.

It's also not $57 a month. That's the "average" tax, whatever that means. With the size of my installation, it would be over $110 a month. And my installation is not out of the ordinary.

And it's not a "free battery". That's the opposite of what is happening. The utilities pay less than half of what they charge for the excess electricity that you produce.

It's an attempt to destroy residential solar. No less.

I'd actually not care about their extortion if they allowed us to disconnect from the grid and run without them, but that is illegal, at least in Los Angeles.
Paying protection to the mob is a good idea in general. Even if you're generally careful, you never know when a leg will break because of something that was your fault.

Most of the really rich do not have that pitiful schedule, they let others have that schedule for them.

I think the Tailscale part that actually knows what auth keys look like is proprietary, but at least for Headscale they seem to be just unguessable database row identifiers: https://github.com/juanfont/headscale/blob/ade4e23e149e7846b...

Nothing in the Tailscale design has ever pointed to features that would guard your infrastructure from them.
i think this is unfairly flagged
> Thanks to the leak functionality that we built with this exploit, we can now read arbitrary memory on the chip. This means we can now have access to any readable address. As a consequence, we can dump the secrets stored in the chip (such as the Root of Trust sent by the Pixel bootloader when the Titan M is updated).

> One of the most interesting consequences of this attack is the ability to retrieve any StrongBox protected key, defeating the highest level of protection of the Android Keystore. Similarly to what happens in TrustZone, these keys can only be used inside Titan M, while they are stored in an encrypted key blob on the device.

I thought the whole point of making a hardware security chip (rather than using a general purpose microcontroller, possibly with crypto acceleration hardware) is that the private keys would be protected by the hardware design. So you could use the private key to e.g. create a digital signature but its impossible to read out the private key itself, outside of potential side-channels.
> This angers the industrial internet-of-things community.

Hopefully they'll learn that if it's locked down to being tied to one person's cloud it's likely to become a paperweight in a few years.
What good is cheaper tech if we just use that to add more features and keep the same price?

You could get a TV for less than $50 if it had the same features and processing power as it did in 2002. Same for computers.

Imagine how cheap we could make a car that only has the features we had in the 90’s? Even if you include the mandatory passive safety upgrades.
A slight variation I prefer, and strongly advocate is ‘own (or control) what makes you successful’. It may not be unique, and doesn’t imply always building it yourself, but you should be in control of those things.
