Tell HN: Expect you may have to write off Microsoft if you self host email
I've had this IP for almost a decade. It's not on spamhaus, DKIM and SPF are correct, and I've signed up for MS's Junk Mail Reporting Program and Smart Network Delivery Services. They still reject my mail with

I went through their support channels and they were completely useless.

I've gone through all the links they sent me and nothing is wrong with my email server. It's impossible that I could have ever sent spam. They just decided they don't like me for no reason and I don't get to send them mail.
I use Quarkus these days which means the IDE support and ecosystem of Java, the very simple annotation rules from JavaEE, and reload times like PHP.
Somehow, my pattern recognizer lit up with this structure:

- I understand that... however...

- some general knowledge

- That being said...

Without even interpreting what the comment is, just feels a bit orchestrated.
> It's not 100km/h.

Of course it is... if you're averaging over distance. There's no reason that's less valid than whichever average you have in mind.
Agreed - Looking forward to a B1M episode about it. I found this tweet thread [1] which has a lot of interesting information. Some maps make it appear to be connected to the Nile, while this poster continues to say it transfers "wastewater from Alexandria to western desert". Quite cool if it's all wastewater, but I suspect it must be a combination of Nile water and wastewater.

If Google ever decides to kick you out of your account, Authenticator data will be gone. Google has done this on several occasions in the past.

I would still prefer independent app for password manager and another for TOTP with backup enabled for all.

> The point of a lock free algorithm is to avoid having a thread wait on a resource and not do any work. It may do useless work that needs to be reverted, but it's not sleeping or spinning until something happens. It's not guaranteed that you can do that for every algorithm in a way that makes sense performance wise.

Sure, but that seems like a much narrower statement than "you can't turn every algorithm into a lockless one".

Maybe I'm just being pedantic and the person intended something more like what you said, though.
> I learned from Russian how incredibly powerful and nuanced a language can be (too bad it is currently used to scare people everywhere). I always say that "you can translate anything into Russian" and, if you have the skill, it will carry over the original style, atmosphere, and colour. Not sure how to explain this, but e.g., you can almost get a feel for the New-York accent reading a good translation into Russian. I heard from several people that Arabic has a similar power of expression.

Nabakov didn't feel the same way.

That said, as someone with decent Russian, I do like the language in many ways. I agree that it's a nuanced and powerful language in ways that English isn't; English is so ambiguous and low-context that you can say anything but I love Russian in that I can state things like number, gender, if they go & come back / complete, and do so in a word or two.

Yes, but copyright requires the human to have significant original input into the work for it to be eligible. The human can’t just delegate to the animal or AI.
If they want more inside sales, perhaps Tesla should actually release a new product. People who have an S don't want to "downgrade" to a 3/Y that maybe doesn't have air suspension.

Cybertruck and Roadster were supposed to be here by now. What do they expect? ZIRP allowed them to cruise along till now.
I think even this muddies the waters - oftentimes people think of performance in terms of metrics (latency, bandwidth, memory, etc). Lock-free algorithms are about performance guarantees.

Specifically, a lock-free algorithm is appropriate if it would be considered an error for one thread to stall and cause any other threads to stall.

An example of this would be a concurrent garbage collector. These are used when you do not want garbage collection to stop a program from executing. The way that the GC thread communicates with the rest of the program therefore must be lock-free.

That's not to say a stop-the-world GC could be faster: just that its lack of performance guarantees would be considered a bug.

A Case for Quantitative Reasoning
I have my issues with what 1Password has become as a product, but this seems like a very good stance to take. As a product owner, it's essential to know what and how people are using the product, collecting some straightforward telemetry that's anonymized and doesn't contain and Vault data strikes me as reasonable.
It's not by me, I just submitted the link when I saw it
Here orchestration means in the context of an organization doing some work -- e.g., receiving, making, shipping.

So a challenge is to take the available data and make the needed decisions.

Is this work "going" anywhere? Well, yes, apparently it is.

The step, using the data to make decisions, can involve some math and computing. A lot of the relevant math has been known, and known to be relevant, for decades, but for most of that time computing has been a bottleneck. But the computing is getting to be a lot easier.

Some of the relevant math is optimization. If need to consider that the input data is not always precise, then might want to consider the math of statistics, probability, stochastic processes and optimization in that context -- here, still, a lot is known.

Some of the problems, e.g., at Bell Labs for planning network deployments, quickly led to the math that led to the math of the question, also in computer science, of P = NP??? Is this question "going"? Likely yes, but even if not lots more math/computing is.

That’s pretty subjective. I happen to like astral, though many say it’s too slow for them. I think a lot of people are using coracle, snort.social, and iris. There are a lot of other ones under active development.

The story goes that Mario 64 speedrunner accidentally triggered a glitch which was thought to require that a particular value is "true" (Mario is touching a ceiling) which was not in this case. The following glitch hunt had many people concluding that the most likely thing that happened was a bit-flip via cosmic radiation which caused the exact distance change which could have otherwise been caused by a different but similar glitch.
Correct, they are optional, not deprecated. That was sloppy on my side.
I see almost no value in companies deploying facial recognition software at will, and lots of room for abuse. It's a shame that while the EU is considering banning facial recognition they are mandating it for non EU residents to enter the region.

Such a bizarre app. Instead of implementing push notifications in the "Google Authenticator" app, Google decided to add the logic to all other apps like YouTube. Before we introduced Okta, our users would get notifications like "Open the YouTube app on your phone to approve this login".

Whilst clever for the people who don't have Google Authenticator installed, it's just bizarre to ignore it when it's there.
Too late, Google, I already switched to Yubikey. I kind of like that my TOTP keys are a separate entity from my phone.
In order to enforce by lawsuit, the people who have standing to sue (or a regulator acting on their behalf) need to somehow know that an organization is out of compliance.

For the ADA, you can see whether there's enough parking spaces or whether the ramp is legal or whether you were denied a reasonable accommodation.

Here, there's a mandatory audit mechanism, but it's unclear whether the proper recordkeeping will be required to really allow issues to be spotted at audit.
Nor the follow-up necessary should your account happen to be randomly blocked.
Do you and people you know have a safe? Where I'm from, we generally don't use safes.

Do you consider your safe to be... safe? I'd imagine it to be relatively easy to get into, by picking the lock or sawing through the safe.
There's definitely some interference between BlueTooth and Wi-Fi going on and it's not specific to the new Macs. I experienced similar issues with my 2015 MBP when using BT mice. Switching to Logitech's dongle would completely solve the problem.
I agree that the parent is clearly GPT-generated, but was it 3.5 or 4? I notice substantially improved human-like writing in GPT-4 that will probably be hard to detect. Even the current AI detectors struggle (although they have gotten pretty good at detecting 3.5 writing)

Storing it in the google cloud doesn't satisfy me. I just simply want the codes under my control. The current authenticator did finally allow export to qr code, but google still makes it stupendously difficult to just get a simple text export to a file.

It's not been a problem for me though as I've just always saved the otpauth code from the start.

Anecdotally, I can tell you that Tailwind is heavily favored by shiny designery startups. Many of the best designed websites these days are built with Tailwind, and design-oriented engineers are reaching for it first.

Back in 2018 I was arguing against utility classes and vetoing their use in projects I was involved with in favor of thoughtfully architected SCSS. By now in 2023 it's clear Tailwind has earned its place in high-end UI development.

I hope that other jurisdictions (than the EU) will find different policies around data protection to try to achieve something that is actually good for people in practice now that they can look at how gdpr worked out.

I think the law requiring subscriptions to be easily cancelled is a good example of something that is good for people because it makes something they already want to do easier/better.

On the other hand, the thought of having to cope with umpteen different privacy laws makes me glad I don’t work on a website for the general public.

My main complaint with data protection laws is that they often require actions from users, either some kind of ‘informed consent’ like gdpr/cookie laws, or some kind of deletion request. I would much prefer some simpler laws like ‘no keeping behavioural data more than 45 days’ that don’t require people to opt in to privacy. Though there are flaws with what I wrote – what does it mean for training neural networks; there are cases where you want that memory, eg maybe if you liked a tv show/YouTube channel and there was more than 45 days between series/videos, you would want the new series to be recommended to you; there are complex chains of causality like if eg I watch a cat video, get recommended a bunch more cat videos over time, watch some of those, then in some sense the signal from the first cat video has caused me to still be getting recommended them more than 45 days later.

It seems like this requires taking action to delete a lot of data from a lot of places and puts the onus on the consumer, which I think isn’t great. But the ‘data broker registry’ might make it easier to do? I wonder what the EFF were thinking about when they supported this. Perhaps they just considered it to be strictly privacy-increasing and therefore good, and didn’t worry about second-order effects like consumer fatigue. Maybe the second-order effects don’t matter so much – they are second order after all.
Google's authenticator has been outright harmful in how neglected it has been, especially when it comes to backing up your codes outside the app. This should be a very full-featured and well-maintained application considering how essential it is for security.

For years I've been telling anyone who'd listen to use Authy instead.
Or so they can ditch lesser used features to eliminate technical debt.

Don't know if it's entirely the Ayatollah's fault here.
My experience as well, really no issues, albeit I recall John Siracusa mentioning that the last couple of OS X releases have been rolling out a new driver model where they are no longer kernel modules or something, and some growing pains were to be expected
The cool thing about technology is it works both ways. If backdoors are mandated it’s only a matter of time until all texts, location history, etc. etc. of those in power become public - we already learned that those people don’t have the strongest opsec to begin with. This will lead to a backlash and an equilibrium of sorts.
Yes, nostr is just a protocol. There is no inherent algorithm. A client could choose to implement one and users could then choose to just migrate to a different client without one. All I want is a reverse chronological feed of posts from people I follow. That’s it. And right now the nostr clients deliver that.

Can you clarify what you mean by mesh vent, and what it is exactly you replace? I could not find any info. My father uses this machine so you have me worried.
Telemetry to inform product decisions is fine, in fact I think it's necessary to have confidence that software is performing in the wild (e.g. crash reporting), or that customers know how to use it.

What is not ok is opt-out telemetry for personalisation for advertising, or over-reaching personal data collection, in 1Password's case data from your vault.

There is however a grey area in the middle – data about the performance of product upsells. This is a tricky one, because arguably if I do upgrade (say, to 1Password Family/Teams), I've probably done so because it made sense for me, and I'm probably happier with the product... but I might not have done so without that information on how I or others use the product that helped optimise that flow. When done well I don't have a problem with this, but I hope 1Password are careful about the culture of upsells that this data could create.
The degree to which a human has to be creative is very minimal. As SCOTUS said in Feist v. Rural:

> "the requisite level of creativity is extremely low; even a slight amount will suffice"

Literally throwing paint at a canvas is enough to suffice.

Arranging the prerequisite conditions and coaxing a monkey into taking a selfie is probably enough as well (as long as you don't hire PETA's dumb lawyers who want to argue for assignment of the copyright to the monkey)

There's not really enough information to determine whether this author would qualify. We don't know how much editing he did if any, nor have we seen these specific cases tested in a court yet.
I wonder how some cases work then. Like passport controls. That to my understanding look like biometrics and facial recognition.
It's worth pointing out that the "window to a huge amount of knowledge" feature isn't really what you're paying for. The question isn't "is access to a search engine worth $10 a month to me?" (probably yes), it's "Is the delta in functionality with DDG/Google/Bing/Ask Jeeves worth $10 a month to me?" (maybe).

It's a pretty big problem in internet tech, actually. Ad revenue has poisoned the well, creating a situation where it's really, really hard to create a compelling product that isn't based on advertising, because you end up having to compete with "free" alternatives. Thus from a consumer's perspective the cost of the product needs to be in the added functionality over the alternatives, since they see your base functionality's perceived value as $0.

It's gotten to a point where I don't think it's fixable at a grassroots level.
Well, you're misquoting me. Here is what I actually wrote:

> You're vastly overestimating what you can learn from randos in chatrooms and forums. Most of the best, highly experienced people in this industry never post in chatrooms or forums. You're getting a biased sample, and don't know what you don't know

These are simple facts. They're not "condescending", and more importantly, you wouldn't know if you were wrong, because you're getting a biased sample. That's the point. You don't see or hear from the people who don't post.
No kidding, it took me like 30 seconds
> A CEO doesn’t approve an acquisition in a publicly traded company. The Board of Directors decide.

Don't put words in my mouth. It may not entirely have been his decision, but nobody forced him to go on Twitter to say that he "chose him" and that he "believes it with all his heart"[0]. You cannot possibly tell me that you think that he was uninvolved in setting up the deal. Him being friends with Elon for ages is public track record.

> Jack does not have any control over the nostr protocol.

Jack is bankrolling the founder of the protocol with more than $240k. If you think that a SV CEO is doing that because he wants to create a better world, good on you. If you have any evidence that that doesn't give him any control, I'd be happy to see it. I feel like it's valid to be a little sceptical.

They completely lose credibility when bringing up those points. Errands are nothing compared to the ~2h per day of commute people save.

> The only thing meat does have going for it is the energy provides

Meat doesn't simply provide energy, it's a very nutritious food source. Livestock can and should be part of making our agriculture more sustainable.

> but at the cost of poor health and hurting literarily everyone.

Yes, we've established that you think the meat is bad, except you've not actually provided any evidence that it is bad.

> If meat producers weren't so greedy, and produced less, a lot less, only what was necessary, a lot of the harm that comes with meat could be mitigated, not the health risks, just the carbon contribution.

If any industry that contributes to greenhouse emissions produced less of what is causing those greenhouse emissions, that'd be a net good, probably. It's a balancing act between what people need for survival and what's good for the earth itself. Obviously you think that meat should be produced at a small fraction of the rate it's being produced at now, but I think that's got little to do with the environmental impact given how demonstrably dogmatic you've been throughout this conversation.

> btw, any time I am mentioned, me personally, what I know or don't know, or what I am, etc. etc., a fallacious argument is being constructed. Fallacy is unpersuasive, fwiw.

You've literally said that vegans are likely more healthy than I am and that I'm just trying to justify my lifestyle. When confronted with actual facts, you rejected them as bunk science. The cognitive dissonance you're experience is apparent.
