For quite a few Android/iphone users it was the free phone their employer could get at the time with their corporate plan
The paradox here is the same one patio11 discussed in "The optimal amount of fraud is non-zero", on the front page yesterday [0]. The more non-tech people have an email address, the more we have to prevent fraudulent email, and the harder it becomes to run your own email address.

The original email users were much more savvy and needed less protecting against fraud. Now my grandma has an email, and if we're not careful she ends up on the phone with "Microsoft customer support" giving them full access to her computer. Spam filters aren't just a question of irritation anymore, people's life savings are at risk.

It's worse than that. `char`'s signedness being implementation defined is one thing, but then having the standard library provide a function called `getchar()` that returns not a `char` but an `unsigned char` cast to an `int` is diabolical.
It absolutely is a hiring strategy.

Come visit Amazons campus around Denny Triangle and SLU in Seattle.

The majority of the foot traffic (Amazon employees) are #1 Indian nationals.

If you sponsor someone from Bangalore or Chennai, you pay some up front costs. But that person is going to work double/triple time and deal with a huge amount of shit. Otherwise, they have to pay themselves to move back to India within a limited amount of time.

If you see organizations like Prime Video, Alexa, Kindle - pretty much the entire org is Indian. You want to tell me white, black, Hispanic people can’t code?

The HR pipelines are set up where most new recruits come through specific colleges that have an abundance of Indians studying abroad.

If someone from Chennai has to be on a miserable on call, they’d rather do that and send their kid to a school in Seattle or Redmond, instead of moving back to India.
Which is embarrassing, because they're one of the most insecure vendors...
Well, you could use your reasoning to justify drinking and smoking. Why did you stop there? People live to old age despite doing those things. And how can you actually be sure that it's the drinking/smoking that killed you? People get lung cancer and cardiac events without doing either.

The truth of the matter is that all we can do is try to stack the deck in our favor. A major part of life is deciding which trade-offs matter to you.

I find stable diffusion requires a lot more prompt engineering than either midjourney or dalle, but has a higher ceiling of quality if you do put in that effort. I wouldn't expect just using exactly the same prompt for all three models would work very well, need at least a little tuning per-model.
This 1981 paper by Stonebreaker, Operating System Support for Database Management [1], explains why conventional file systems are not a good foundation for databases. He writes:

"The bottom line is that operating system services in many existing systems are either too slow or inappropriate. Current DBMSs usually provide their own and make little or no use of those offered by the operating system. ..."

Now, 40+ years later, Stonebreaker is a participant in the present DBOS project!

It has all the characteristics of a bug that you can just feel in your bones will never get fixed:

* Intermittent.

* Affects only some users.

* Possible link to a hardware problem

* Vendor track record of only putting serious effort into development of new products, not maintenance of existing products.

That’s some weighty inertia to overcome, but maybe the prospect of legal liability will manage it.
> Fantastic. I take it from those links this would be detectable with a full body MRI? I already wanted an excuse to start getting those regularly.

There is a lot of research on the topic but it doesn’t agree with the OP’s thesis. Full body scans can be purchased if you have the funds, but you are far more likely to get false positives than to actually catch a cancer this way. The ensuing medical costs and possibly even unnecessary surgeries are statistically likely to cause you more detriment than any benefit you might receive. This is counterintuitive to many, but the truth is that it’s not actually easy to spot nascent pre-symptomatic cancers from full body scans without incurring a massive number of false positives along the way. Something like 1 in 8 people will end up getting flagged for “warning signs of potential cancer” during these scans that turns out to be nothing upon further investigation. Few people continue to get the tests for this reason.

Hydrogen has one thing going for it in that it only takes 5 minutes to fill up once you find a pump. Electric takes 4-6 times as long or more.

Right. This is the main issue for us for going electric. We barely use the car, but when we use it, it is often for longer distances (visiting my in-laws, who live in another country, holidays). Having to 'refuel' longer and more often is very inconvenient.
After using Android for 10 years, a similar experience made me switch. I'd just bought a Pixel 5, and I received a call from a pizza delivery driver. I say I received a call because the phone rang. Otherwise I'd never have known. The UI didn't show it at all, even though it was responsive, and the missed call log section never populated. Nothing except the ringer sound.

The next day I switched to iPhone and have never regretted it. Like, if my phone can't receive calls or even capture that a call was missed, none of its other features matter.
>take War for example where people sacrifice themselves for an idea of nationality or culture, that goes against the ‘selfish gene’ theory

People sacrifice themselves in wars, because they think it's going to improve the chances of survival for their offspring, their extended family, their tribe, their kin, their nation, etc.

I used a personal trainer for 3 years and I can't say I'd really recommend it. Definitely had it's advantages, but too many disadvantages to be worth the cost.

High turnover - I had about six different trainers during that time.

They all picked some random exercises for me to do whereas I'd rather have a well thought out schedule.

They are all flakey, lots of appointments cancelled last minute for "family emergencies."

Two asked me out on dates. I guess this would be an advantage for some, but I was interested in getting fit, not picking up men.

One was kinda mean to me.

I found going to yoga classes MUCH more useful.

If it actually overheats and doesn't just get very warm, that's a fire hazard and you are using dangerously faulty equipment.
If you're not paid by the hour and not required to be on call (which seems to be the above case), the it's very hard for an employer to argue that you need to be at home, staring at a monitor just in case.

You may feel an urge to behave that way.

Wouldn't surprise me if Linode were entirely blocked. Also anything in M247 Ltd's ASN. They host a lot of VPN endpoints, including Mullvad's.

Step 1, I'd move off Linode. Find a local DC or business you can support by hosting a VPS or dedi box with them. LowEndBox might be an interesting place to search but avoid anything too famous.

Step 2, join this https://sendersupport.olc.protection.outlook.com/pm/services.... They don't actually email me when they block my IP, but at least when I contact them I can argue I'm already in their program and they didn't actually notify me of any sending issues. I've got myself unblocked relatively quickly this way.

Anyone have anecdotes about good solutions they've used? When I learn something new, it's to solve a problem already posted on StackOverflow. I make a note and feel great! On to the next requirement.

On the other hand, here's some things I haven't heard much of, that could be dark magic or just obvious to the more experienced folks--not always easily expressed in a type algebra, monad or what-have-you:

* How to deploy schema changes to live production while preserving data
* How to evaluate and test backup and disaster recovery
* What's the longest you've maintained *someone else's* code?
* How to set expectations, defer decision-making, and general "long-term" strategies
* As you've observed colleagues come and go, what advice would you wish they had listened to instead?

Soft skills ring true.

Thank-you.
It used to be a „future concern“ in the past, but due to the nature of time moving forward (and humanity not doing anything of significance to addresses the issue) that future is now.
Not true. The upvote/downvote system creates the hive mind. It's maybe less noticeable than on Reddit, but on the other hand HN attracts certain kinds of people so there's already a degree of self selection.

Imagine if the population of the world voted for equality for all, but also death to the Jews. Those votes represent the average opinion (AKA the hive mind). That hive mind would be hypocritical even though it is made up of individuals.
what do you use for outbound SMTP? do you need to add/authenticate each domain or from address with it? (I host several domains and mailboxes)

The same tool can also be used to evolve an image by generating variations and selecting a few to reproduce. You could breed and cross the results at will. You could use multiple preference models for the fitness test and evolve them afk.

e-postage, knows-SMTP-4, knows-SMTP-5 -> https://www.rhyolite.com/anti-spam/you-might-be.html

We have cryptographic identity in SMTP already. In fact, almost all our protocols and formats for signing and identity were first adapted from email standards. This has already failed.

"You might be an anti-spam kook" does need to be updated to also include cryptocurrency solutions. You're neglecting the transaction costs associated with cryptocurrency, which might be punitive both for senders and for those attempting to collect the spam bounty. Of course the big email providers could aggregate settlements... but now we're back to having big email providers.
You can know from getting responses and sending test mails to different mailboxes.

Doesn't give full certainty, but can be well enough. (If all my recipients respond I don't care about the ones I don't send to anyways)

Al Gore's prediction is likely wrong (we'll know in 2026), but it did have an important qualifier: "if nothing changes". That to me implies BAU and emissions continuing to steadily rise over that intervening 15-20 year period. In fact they did start to level off not long after that prediction was made though it's a stretch to claim for certain that's the reason the WTC memorial is not, in fact, now underwater. If he had made the prediction for, say, the year 2076 it may have had more scientific merit (but arguably little ability to convince anyone of the urgency of the situation).
Visual Studio for Mac has run natively on M1 (without Rosetta) since the May 22 release of Visual Studio 2022 for Mac v17.0 - https://devblogs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/visual-studio-20...

The installer is a separate binary and currently still requires Rosetta. There's an update due out very soon (a few weeks) that will remove the Rosetta requirement. The team prioritized getting the application fully native before the installer since you spend a lot more time running the app than the installer.

Also it's important to know that Visual Studio for Mac isn't the exact same application as Visual Studio (Windows). Visual Studio is 25 years old and has some Windows specific features that don't make sense on macOS. Also, Visual Studio for Mac is optimized to integrate with macOS features (e.g. accessibility and themeing). There's a lot of code shared between the editor, project system, debuggers, etc., and we try to balance making them as similar as possible while following the macOS app guidelines and conventions.

Disclaimer: I'm on the .NET team at Microsoft, and work with the Visual Studio for Mac team a lot.
gmail also puts mails from mailing lists into spam, despite repeated "not spam" tagging. Wondering whether mail getting flagged as spam is even a problem anymore as people get used to erratic results, at which point we can get rid of spam filtering, or what's left of it, altogether when on balance it does more harm than good, such as preventing SMTP self-hosting.
Good question - honestly, I forgot. Also, there are multiple models that look very different, so then the question becomes: which one do I show?

In any case, those who are really curious won't have a hard time finding pictures. I'll include some next time :-)

Talking about how great the 3d animation of Brooklyn Bridge is tells me no, I am right, Apple Maps is still not worth using. Certainly not as a map. Not for navigation.

After spending an extended time in both New York and London, I booted up my annual 'lets see if this app has improved - benefit of the doubt' retest, then it is soon deleted. Example, in London, I knew a road I wanted was a few blocks away, but Maps could only route me to a similar (not same) named road 150 kilometres away - even though the road I wanted is in, on, labelled, in Maps. It is still an appalling embarrassment.

Tremendous, thanks for considering this for your auth factor bridge.
Excellent steps, kind of tragic to lose humanity bit by bit.

Edit: I recognize the images are curated. And that we're moving in a direction.

The reality of one premise of the book The Diamond Age is closing in ... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Diamond_Age#Plot_summary the Young Lady's Primer was an AI that manifest in this book, to help the child that reads the book to become .. mentally strong, I don't fully recall. The book would converse with the child and tell appropriate stories.

So I suppose we're really close (10 years) to this, needing to try and see if AI can predict the "next step" in a child's psychological growth, and somehow observe their status.

We kind of do part of this profiling with Machine Learning and our advertising prediction capacities.
I'm not saying literally anything you've suggested in your comment. Have a nice weekend.
It was a huge mistake for email receivers to take on the cost of filtering spam. Of course given the evolution of the internet and email it is easy to see how that mistake happened. Nobody had a crystal ball. But the only solution here is to raise the cost of sending email to the point where spam is no longer profitable.

It seems like one solution is to bcrypt hash (or some similarly expensive algorithm) the email and include the hash in a header. Of course you need to hash per receiver or a spammer can just hash it once and spam away.

The receiving client hashes the email and compares the result with the value in the header and discards emails that don't match.

You'll never get industry buy in though - the FAANG companies don't want to pay that cost for their semi-legitimate email. They prefer to keep that cost externalized.

I believe there have been attempts at something like this, but it clearly never went anywhere.
It changed the way I think about "thinking". I also see myself in the father and son story. I am sorry to be so general but if I jump into the specifics I fear I would ruin them. Not because somebody else couldn't but I know myself to be a horrible teacher.

I'll articulate. The question is indeed asked with intent, but to the one answering, it comes across as something that can have a lot of answers as GP shows. At the same time, any answer can likely be interpreted in many ways, too. It opens up a lot of potential variations which, if you're looking for a specific answer and aren't very adaptable, sets the other party up for failure.

It's the same issue which many traditional questions asked by interviewers have. They are at best "okay" when asked with an open mind. At worst, they are beyond worthless and create bad blood, as the other party is set up to fail.
Seems like we need to write a law (draft a bill).
>Tens of thousands of people watching the game on their cell phones

I don't know that technology is really the solution here. Why bother going to the stadium to watch the game on your phone?
Yeah, I ran my own e-mail server from 1995 until about 10 years ago. It used to be fairly simple, but between incoming spam and attacks, the various standards that were developed, and my e-mail not getting through... this became a problem that was worth paying someone a few dollars a month to solve for me.

I still use my own domain, but I'll let actual delivery and security experts deal with the day-to-day running of things, while I run my business (which definitely isn't that).

It was a bit sad to give up, but the time and frustration it saved have been more than worthwhile.

This is pretty questionable. What few variables would have to change? It was an entirely different inward-facing system.
Sure. I'd say be aware of code smell as you write and read your own code. Look out for functions that have too many parameters.as they're probably doing too much. Avoid passing data to a function that it doesn't absolutely need. Be careful about returning complex variables. Don't write functions that do more than one thing. Avoid globals and closures. In general, functional style programming will naturally lead to better separation of concerns.
Isn't the danger of knowing there's something weird there caused by the rarity of knowing anything at all?

I'd imagine that if there was consistent, good information available, we'd figure out how and when to act on it. The real issue is the massive cost of performing any given scanning procedure to everyone alive.
