It's not that hard. SPF/Domainkeys records are only needed if you don't run it on a residential ISP account. Use your ISP as a smart relay instead.

I have greylisting and MailScanner to cover spam. filtering. Personally I use spamd on my OpenBSD firewall for greylisting, but have used a Postfix greylisting setup in a corporate environment. MailScanner combines SpamAssassin and Anti-Virus scanning of your mail before delivery. I rarely get spam.

Making sure not to run an open relay isn't all that hard, it's even easier if you use a webmail interface outside your own network.

Learning how to run a small mail server isn't hard. Yes a little up front research is mostly all it takes. My mail server runs mainly hands off. A little up front cost in time saved a recurring monthly cost.

I've been wanting to switch away from these two for some time now.
NIO FileChannels have a transferTo() method[1]. I expect they only added it once they found a good enough reason (zero-copy). The standardization process moves so slow that convenience functions are better served by third-party libraries.

"If we get to a point where we can do all the work we want to get done with, say, 1/4 of the workforce, then everyone can work less"

That, I doubt. The work that remains requires highly-skilled labour. I think there is a fraction of the potential workforce that will never reach a level at which it can work the remaining jobs. I also think that fraction grows as automation increases (human dishwashers? Gone. Bank tellers? Gone. Bus drivers? Not gone yet, but that could change in ten years). Net effect: there is less work, but we cannot distribute the work that remains over the same fraction of the population.

Even if it were possible, I would stick with

@memoize
def fib:
pass

fib = memoize(function ...) has unnecessary nesting, and @memoize is cleaner IMO.

I am curious - do you find @memoize confusing? Personally for me and anyone I have talked to, @memoize is vanilla - the confusing part is the decorator itself, especially one that takes arguments; that coupled with the fact that classes(which override __call__) and functions are both used as decorators.
According to 'Thinking Fast and Slow' which I'm currently reading expert predictors of performance are generally worse than even quite simple statistical models. This being due to all the flaws in human decision making - if it's a sunny day, if the player 'looks the part' if the scout happens to view them on a day when they're feeling lucky. It's a very good book, but it suggests that in all fields of prediction you should actually rely on combinations of statistical metrics over expert judgment.

Pretty hard to believe I accept.

Ask HN: Bundled Lean Startup tools?
I'm wondering if anyone on HN, developing a web biz, would be interested in bundled pricing on Lean Startup tools.

I recently started to apply Running Lean techniques to an existing product with tools recommended in the book of the same name. Even with revenue the overall cost adds up quick.

Example tools could be prefinery, kissinsights, kissmetrics, mailchimp, etc etc. & might be mix & matched.

I'm collecting interested folks's email at leanmeanbundlemachine.com, but would like your deeper insights into the idea here. thanks.
As most here, I'd advise to go for a commercial service. Selfhosting is fun but can cause unnecessary headaches.

Fastmail seems to have an impeccable reputation.
I have been using sherweb for several years now. Works very well. It's a bit more expensive but you also get a lot more, too.

In order to be competitive with dedicated hosting, AWS should introduce per-month heavy utilization pricing option. 1 and 3 years is too long to commit for startups.
I wonder, if there are any known cases, where people did not get a particular job (or experienced any other disadvantage), because they had NO facebook account.

Personally I don't own a facebook account and any request to facebook from my computer is blocked, since they introduced their like button. In my world it's very much like facebook doesn't exist at all. The only disadvantage I experience is, that I'm locked out of some websites, which require a facebook account for log-on (stupid, if you ask me).

Well, I don't want to give too much information because that's a very well known hospital in a major US city, but after the interview, a contact of hers on "the inside" told her that he'd heard the interview had not gone that well because the panel didn't like that she was too concerned with the work hours. She, of course, never mentioned or asked anything about the hours (she's too smart for that), but then remembered that one of the interviewers told her that he'd looked her up online. She appears in her Facebook profile picture with her two small children. And it's a well known fact among young doctors that that particular hospital, an many other like it, does not care to hire residents with young children, esp. female residents.
No, I don't find it confusing. But I read craigyk as mostly talking about the special decorator syntax, not function decoration in general.
You don't need it to be in the list. Just use IMAP to download your messages.
Transcribing companies
If you frequently are at-large goggle-eyed in most appealing transcribing companies privately, you richly can sometimes turn usually to the primarily exacting resources attentively!
Lakers are a top 10 defensive team (Bynum and Gasol should have not allowed 38 pts). Kobe has made former all defensive team Lin did a respectable job when Kobe defended him. Lin is probably only going to have trouble vs Westbrook, Wade, Rose, Rondo, and Paul, but at the same time, he is more than good enough to be an NBA starting PG right now.

We have to keep in mind he is doing this well despite the odds stacked against him.

- No jump shooters / scorers in the starting 5.
- No practice.
- A tremendous amount of expectation and pressure both nationally and internationally.

Dribbling with his left hand and making 3s will come. Derrick Rose took a couple years to get it down in terms of treys. It's a matter of effort, and by all accounts, Lin is a hard worker.

I would be completely shocked if he did not remain a starting PG in the NBA. His effect should only grow as Melo and Amare return.
Microsoft's Office 365 online office suite has an Outlook webmail client which was flawless well when I gave it a shot using Firefox. I think it costs $6/mo, no ads, no spying, because you pay for it. I don't know how well the search and spam filters work.

4 TOs is very low considering his usage rate. The TOs will go down once Melo plays iso.
Conversely, if you happened to be the one getting paid less, it would be to your benefit to discuss salary.
In a larger office, you are usually not paid for being productive. Responding quickly to mails from your boss is probably more effective than focused coding. So don't worry that much.

For the occasional productivity burst: schedule yourself a fake meeting, pick a lonesome place and your laptop, disconnect from instant messengers etc.

'Dropbox for information': SquadMail lets you enjoy email again
TANSTAAFL. Google doesn't not respect your privacy, but there is a risk that could change. Personally, my money is on that Google's ad revenue is best protected by them respecting their users privacy.

Any mail host carries the risk of a privacy breach, either accidental, such as a hacker attack, less so, such as selling the service to someone who cares less or completely on purpose - simply turning around and selling your data.

All of these scenarios are vastly less likely to happen for Google in my risk analysis.
Just out of interest, as I've never come across many examples, can anyone give me some rock solid examples of what scary stuff facebook / a 3rd party could do with my data?

I'm in the UK. I post an update roughly once ever 3 months, usually a photo from my phone. I have around 100 friends. I'm tagged in a handful of photos, some geotagged. None of any particular interest. My about me section has some basic information on my home city. I do however have chat history with a few people.

My privacy settings are all on the maximum, so no one public can see anything without being my friend, nor am I in search results. I block facebook outside of facebook.com.

I always feel like if a corrupt entity (lets say the government) wanted to 'take my freedom' then my email, skype, public paperwork (property ownership records etc) and bank statements etc would be of much greater benefit? Most of the 'facebook data is bad' stories at the moment seem to revolve around people with poor privacy settings and job interviews etc.

If your of the mindset that if the current government collapses and you end up with an extremist regiem in place, then a list of people you met over the last few years might be useful. But I'm not really in that camp, and my email address book or skype logs would be more accurate anyway.

I'm not saying facebook data isn't a bad thing; I'm just wondering what concrete things could happen?
Just because you are paying for the service does not mean that they respect your privacy. You can also pay for Google Apps, but what you get is not worth the money. Depends more on the company than on the pricing model.

(This is just a general hint - not against Microsoft. I don't know how they do their job.)

I played that port so much back when I was in college in that time frame. The VR missions too. Great stuff.
Gmail is not in that list, because they have IMAP access (http://www.dataliberation.org/google/gmail).

You can just setup your account in for example OSX Mail, after synchronizing your messages will be in ~/Library/Mail (albeit not in a really nice folder structure like pure mbox or maildir, but you should be able to convert them without much hassle). Or you could use offlineimap (http://www.offlineimap.org), which gives you an IMAP dump/backup of your messages (in maildir format if I'm not mistaken). That said, the possibilities of getting your mail from IMAP are almost endless, just choose whatever suits you.

Btw, keeping 20000 mails just about anywhere might be convenient, but I really wonder what for (to clarify, I have maybe 300 mails right now on my own server and I regularly dump old stuff, while dumping for example registration mails right away due to security reasons)?
That's a good question. How will sharing their data influence the average person?
Isn't Lavabit just using a skinned squirrelmail instance?
Apple's iCloud. It's free (up to 5GBs), no ads, and Apple is not in the ads business, hence, they have no use of your personal data (as opposed to Google). I have no idea how good are they in actually protecting your personal data, but I don't recall significant breaches of mobile.me/icloud in the past year.
Depends on what you consider respect of privacy. If you mean any provider that doesn't use software to scan your email for keywords, then that rules out any that incorporate a spam filter, and I can't think of any that don't.

I personally don't see how targeted advertising is any more intrusive than spam filtering. Sophisticated spam filters scan for keywords and classify words based which emails you read and reply to, emails from contacts whose emails you read and reply to, etc.

It's all automated in either case. Nobody at Google is reading your mail.
Didn't they know her family situation and how many children she has before looking up the facebook?
Could you tell us more about your analysis? I would especially like to know if you consider the extent of Google's collection of users' private data.
It only falls back to polling if there is no support for using the native filesystem method.

You don't have to use `poll()`, you can use `take()` which is the blocking equivalent to it. In fact, in most use cases I would imagine you would spawn a thread and use `take()`. I'm guessing they called it `poll()` as it is non-blocking, so if you don't get a result then you have to keep calling it. However, I don't think it reflects the implementation details.

Ask HN: What other good mail providers are out there?
Just read this: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3581613

There were a couple of providers mentioned, but nothing seemed to stand out as being better than GMail.

I've been using GMail since (approximately) 2004 and I've not come across anything better. I need to be able to send email from my domain. I want decent spam filters. And a way to pick up email from my phone. And a decent UI.

Other than that it can be ad-supported (as long as the ads aren't too obtrusive) but I don't want to pay anything.

So what else is out there?

Edit: I started a new thread because the other one was about moving away from Google. I just wondered what else was out there.
250 Free Wordpress Themes 2012
I try to get myself to start blogging for a couple days now and wanted to start with my journey away from the big G.

For me the solution is my own vps, self-hosting. I'm 90% there, having set up the new system, backed up my GMail contents, added a webmail solution and now I'm looking at the last (but so damn important) 10%: Choosing a backup solution (and I won't fully migrate until I have a backup in place that I successfully restored once).

I understand that this isn't for everyone, but for me this proved little work so far and it's really flexible (I'm authenticating via yubikey now, for example).

That was an internal video to try raise morale in Microsoft and get some people switch, it's pretty safe to assume gmail reads your emails as much as their spam filters does. But as well as doing the spam filtering on the results it does ads.
I thought employers weren't allowed to ask about age, religion and family situations. I realize that finding it on Facebook is not the same as asking, but it strikes me as pretty shady if not a little overreaching. I could be wrong, though.

Why do you think nobody is reading his mail? In September of 2010 an employee was dismissed for spying on the mail and Google Voice calls of four underage teenagers he had been meeting in real life. There have to be people at Google who have authority to read read the mail of users for less scandalous reasons for this to even be possible.
Autoenv: Directory-based Environments for Python
No doubt there is a robust resale market for iPhones, but if I'm not mistaken, this article fails to take into account initial subsidized market prices when making it's lifetime value calculations. Yes, iPhones are subsidized too, but not completely; whereas most Android phones are not subject to the same price-fixing policies, and can be purchased via authorized Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, or T-Mobile resellers at significant discounts. In fact, 90% of Android phones -- even those with unsubsidized price tags of $500 -- can be purchased for FREE (or sometimes $.01) with a contract from a carrier-authorized retailer such as Amazon or Wirefly. So yes, if you walk into the Verizon store and pay $200 for a Droid 3, your lifetime cost may end up being higher than an iPhone. But if you have a brain, and get your Droid 3 from an authorized Verizon dealer, you pay $0 for the exact same product, and the math shifts rather quickly.

If you are lucky (fast) to get one of the first raspberry PIs, you could host your own mail server on one of those. Put SpamAssasin on there, get ssh running and the other mail programms you need (plenty of guides on the web for that), set up a rsync script for backup and then it's pretty much set & forget. Then when the SD card dies on you, you stick a new one in and resync, ta-da!
Show HN: my weekend project - HobbyPicker.com
I built a simple website that figures out which hobbies you'd enjoy most. It addresses a pain point, as many people are often bored.

It's not high tech. It doesn't use node.js or have venture capital backing. But it seems useful and will get better as my database of hobbies grows (I've only added 70 so far).

Any comments or suggestions?

No, and they're not allowed to ask either.
A question, what is the difference between Google reading your email and using data and the ISP eMail service you have chosen.

Seems to me that Google has a better track record than y other IPS email provider you could chose at this time.

> Apple is not in the ads business

Really? http://advertising.apple.com/
IEmpire: Apple's Sordid Business Practices Are Even Worse Than You Think
First, do note that I also talk about a bet ("my money is on.."). The core of the analysis is that Google with Adsense has a revenue system that makes their interest showing me the most relevant ad. The more they know, the better the ad, the more revenue. The "bet" part is that this revenue is worth more than shady marketers would be able to extract from the data.

The best way for Google to know a lot about me is for them to not give me any good reason not to let them track me, scan my email etc. Any meaningful breach of privacy will erode that faith. Regular ads don't have that faith (an adblocker is invariably the plugin I install), Facebook don't have it (Facebook disconnect is the second one). Google can very easily be added to that list.

Also, Google is large enough and public enough that any significant erosion of privacy will trigger public intervention. A kind of "too big to fail".
