I've done this as well for over two decades, but with no spam filter besides mailavenger/greylisting for a time.

I've gotten spam to places that have had their databases leaked and widely reported. Off the top of my head, Zynga and Consumerist.

I've also gotten spam from individual eBay vendors (etc), to my ebay@ and paypal@ address. But there's no way to particularly stop that, beyond knowing that ebay and paypal leak my email address.

I get a lot of spam to an admin@ address on a domain I bought that was evidently in use previously.

I also get spam from companies I used quite a while ago, and were either acquired and renamed, or are still in business. I haven't purchased or even signed into the website of "PCB Fab Express" in over 15 years, but they still see fit to email me.

In general I don't find it that much of a hassle to hit 'd' on spam, hence not particularly caring about a spam filter, or not setting up a procmail recipe that bounces the spammy businesses.

FWIW I actually don't get much spam any more to the first category of email leaks. I'm sure it goes in waves with whatever lists are in vogue.

I still do find the custom email addresses nice for creating a small impediment to cross-referencing surveillance data, and don't see any reason to stop them. If the saying "YourCompany@" to a Your Company rep was really that awkward, I'd switch to opaque shorter handles, but it hasn't been a problem. Sometimes I'll just own it and say I do this so I know when companies sell my email address to spammers.

Also, I read my email with mutt in a terminal, possibly passing it through lynx when I need to. If my client loaded image bugs or other html nonsense, my experience might be much different.

They aren't in my country, yet I have my second one (Pixel 3 and now Pixel 4).
There are ways depending on your country, e.g. Amazon sends phones further than Google. Sometimes you can get overpriced Pixels in your own country (this way I got my replacement Pixel 4, Amazon didn't have them in stock after my warranty claim, so they gave me my money back and I bot Pixel 4 again for similar price).
Thick? Sturdy? They're 15mm/0.61 inches thick. Most of that is used up by the base, the screen is a terrifyingly flimsy 3.6mm thin.

Comfortable? The key travel is 1mm. I'd hardly call that comfortable, that's a concession to thin-ness.

And they're not that fast just looking at power specs - the new processors are impressively efficient, but if they prioritized professional performance and effective heat dissipation over being skinny, just imagine what that efficient processor could do with 70% more power dissipation/heat removal.

Also, "fast" and "beast of a battery" may be true for now, but in a few years, when memory and storage are cheaper and faster, you won't be able to update, and when your battery starts to degrade you won't be able to click in a new one. Again, because long-term performance, upgradeability, and repairability have been sacrificed for the sake of thin.

I don't think the differing scale explains this. It's not like people said the "one-time stunt" was wrong but they weren't going to get upset because it wasn't a big deal; they instead actively supported and condoned it.
It is not about being anonymous (though this also could be nice in some situations), it is about identity theft and credentials theft.

For many people in sensitive positions, this is literally a matter of life and death.

At least my experience was, about 15-20 years back. All my local hardware stores were destroyed by bigger conglomerate stores.

They came into many towns, built huge stores, pushed cheaper products which crushed the competition (who sold good tools) then pushed cheap junk on most people which just ends up in landfill.

These stores didn't just sell tools, they helped DIY people know which tools to buy.

That is how.
> Normally the issues are from proprietary applications that were buggy to begin with, and never bothered to read the documentation. I'd say to a paying customer that if a behaviour is documented, it's their problem.

… But that's exactly why Win32 was great; Microsoft actually spent effort making their OS was compatible with broken applications. Or at least, Microsoft of long past did; supposedly they worked around a use-after-free bug in SimCity for Windows 3.x when they shipped Windows 95. Windows still has infrastructure to apply application-specific hacks (Application Compatibility Database).

I have no reason to believe their newer stacks have anything like this.

IMHO it's a feature and not a bug that if you import a dependency you also have to carefully review and approve (or add) its dependencies to your application. The entire reason node is a mess of supply chain issues and problems, and is almost like nuclear waste in some professional orgs (i.e. impossible to use because of unclear and unknown licensing concerns, ownership, etc. across thousands of dependencies) is from the ease at which long and complex dependency chains are pulled into a single npm install.
How to access Reddit without ads and tracking
I did that for one of my amazon accounts a few years back when i registered at an amazon conference (probably aws reinvent)- i.e. amazon@mydomain.com - and for about 6 months I got onto some internal email list at amazon/aws, definitely not intended for the public, likely because someone queried for all email address that had 'amazon' in the address from this registration list - thought it was pretty funny, but eventually they stopped - someone probably figured out what they did wrong.

Also have one for thifty@mydomain.com (the car rental company) - when they saw my email address at the counter they gave me the employee discount rate - I didn't correct them :)
Why should companies that build products with serverside components be required to let you build your own clients? What you're saying when you make this demand is that it should be unlawful to build closed systems (or: unlawful to build closed systems if there's a network API anywhere in them).

Hi, Yan from Teapodo here. Thanks for the feedback!

- Glad it felt smooth and fast to you, that's exactly what we are striving for.
- For the plugin list issue, yes, we also noticed that before release, we are planning to add plugin search/filter in the next iteration.
- On wave editing (and potentially spectrum analysis), we had some ideas around this, but we aren't able to fully commit to these yet (we are a very small team). I see your point and I think we will think more carefully about how we present the main selling point of Teapodo in the future (same goes for the "lightweight" part).
- Vertical zoom and grouping clips: these also came up when using it internally, so we will also look into these soon.

Again, really appreciate your feedback!

I don't know if "copyright infringement" is really a useful legal construct here. The issue is not so much that a person's work is being duplicated, but that a person's work is being used to reduce the value of their labour without consent or compensation. It's probably more under unfair competition. Ultimately, though, this issue probably requires new constructs and laws, which is unlikely to happen. The law is the ultimate expression of the power of the dominant class, and these sorts of AI/ML systems benefit the socially dominant class of business owners and investors.
Perhaps because you don't want to commit to ARM compatiblity AND licensing fees.

I like the name. A few thoughts I had while scrolling around:

1. Impressed by the number of pet-sitters already on the site available.

2. Radius slider seems weird. I push the slider right and it reduces the amount of orange but increases the radius? It seems like the orange should be on the left and I should fill in the maximum bar as I expand my search. Also not clear to me where the center of the circle I am apparently expanding is.

3. "Allow more pets than the capacity:" I'm not sure what this means or why some people answer it with "yes". What is capacity if not the limit of pets the sitter can handle and why would they allow more than what they can handle and why would you want that?

4. There is a "price per guest" and a "Pet Daycare Charges Per Day" plus "additional cost for meals" plus 20% fees and taxes. I feel like I don't really understand what it would cost. I guess most pet owners drop off food for their pets with the animals - is that why meals aren't default included?

5. I clicked the "check availability" "button" (or styled a tag) but it doesn't seem to do anything. Not sure why this is there or what it does or should do.

6. Image carousel breaks for some people. e.g. This guy's images seem messed up - https://snouters.com/listing/sudhir-d/

7. Relatively few reviews for the sitters (I assume this is new). The reviews that I have seen have a number of different categories - which I feel conflicted about - harder to summarize as "good" or "bad" but maybe worthwhile to separate out concerns? But also probably people will either give all 5 stars if they are satisfied and all bad if not. I also don't see any text on the reviews which might allow reviewers to express specific concerns.

8. Lots of errors and warnings on the console and sometimes clicking on the website doesn't do exactly what I expect. I wonder if these are related.

9. Under "Pet Services" "Doggy Daycare" and "Pet Boarding" seem to be the same thing. It shows the same people with the same "per night" prices. I would expect Doggy Daycare to be cheaper and per day or per hour rather than per night.

10. The text strikes me as not being well edited or reviewed. There are typos and grammatical errors. Some strings are awkward or verbose. Words are used and written inconsistently (e.g. sometimes Snouters, snouters, or SNOUTERS, sometimes "host" or "pet parent" or "parent").

I also have a question about how you stop people from hooking up with their dog sitter outside of your website. I assume the Snouters business model is to take a fee or a percentage. If I get a dog sitter, likely to be near where I live, and I like the sitter, and I have the sitter's number, then why would I go back to Snouters in the future - wouldn't I just contact the sitter directly?
I'd imagine there is one "UX researcher" job for every 100 "UX practitioner" job.

Maybe 90 of those practitioner jobs work on things that are routine that she might find boring but there are probably more places that develop advanced UIs than that claim to do research on UX.

If she doesn't know any frontend frameworks at all, however, I don't see how she'd expect to make it as a "UX researcher". I'd expect such a person to at the very least have a deep knowledge of one kind of system if not a broad understanding of UX systems in general.

You'd like to think there would be some monitoring - on my roof at home, I had something smash one of my 20 panels, right in the middle of the grid (probably a bullet falling after someone shot up in the air, but I like to pretend it was a meteor...) I didn't notice the output was halved for weeks.

Heya! Creator of tRPC here. Seen some comments on trpc's ts perf issues.

Some notes:

- The problems with tRPC "at scale" are fixable by using project references, but not going to downplay that it's an annoying refactor to do (https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript-Handbook/blob/master...)

- All of the problems with trpc are inherent of any ts thing that is heavilily reliant on inference (hence also blitz) (https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/Performance#wri...)

- The ts perf things that set trpc apart and make you feel it earlier in tRPC than blitz are largely resolved by the new major of trpc that is currently in a stable alpha (stable in terms of no known bugs, but API might change)
> uh have you seen American/European mainstream pornography? it's already pretty violent

That's not at all what I am talking about. What I am saying is that such a model would give everyone the ability to create extremely realistic fake images of someone else within a sexual/violent context, in one click, thanks to inpainting. This can become a hate/blackmail machine very fast.

Even though Dalle-2 is not trained on violence/porn it still forbids inpainting pictures with realistic faces that have been uploaded by users to prevent abuse, so now imagine the potential with a model trained on porn/violence.

Someone is eventually going to do it, but back to your initial question about why it's still not done yet, I believe it's because most people would rather not be that someone.

If you ignore them, then you never know when they stop working. Really. The fact that they look the same working or not is one of the problems with them, and why you really do need monitoring and someone to pay attention to the monitoring at least every few days.

I spent six years in the utility-scale solar PV industry. You would be shocked to learn how many of the panels are not working in any given array. I've seen everything from almost 10% of the strings not even being connected to the inverters in a utility scale array, to a shocking number of rooftop arrays that were producing nothing. In my entire experience with the company and all its customers, we never encountered a single utility-scale array that was fully working when we arrived on site to add our monitoring or optimization systems, and many of those were brand new!

In one case of a sizable array on the roof of a Texas energy provider here in Austin, we discovered the inverter had died years before we discovered it! (This was field testing of of inverter bus noise effects, and the oscilloscope showed nothing but what the wiring picked up as antennas!) Turns out no one ever looks at the power bills in a power company... :-)

Solar PV actually requires a fair amount of maintenance for both prevention and remediation (cleaning and/or replacing panels, repairing connections/wiring, combiners, inverters, etc.) to ensure they are actually operating, but most owners are happier to cover their ears and eyes and sing, "La, la, la..."

I'd point out that for most people (I suppose that could change, and I wouldn't be upset if such changes resulted in better privacy), messaging is often phone-based and includes folks who use secure methods like Signal and Matrix as well as those who use iMessage and OEM SMS clients.

When it comes to that sort of messaging ("I'm running a few minutes late and will meet you inside the restaurant," or similar) I don't (and won't) separate those out. I just use Signal for all such messages.

Which makes for inconvenience when (especially iPhone users) install Signal and still use iMessage.

I'd add that if I have something to discuss that I don't want recorded (don't forget that it's not just your device that puts you at risk, anyone who's received such messages do so as well), I'll use encrypted voice calls (with the assumption -- valid or not -- that the other participant(s) aren't recording that conversation) with Signal or Matrix.

In both my personal and professional life, I've always made sure to only put in writing that which I wouldn't care if it was shared with the world.

Which is no different than it's ever been. I'm not sure why anyone thinks this is a new thing or that somehow "technology" obviates the need for good OpSec. It never did and still doesn't.
Happy to know I had a (hopefully) positive impact :-)
