I have never gotten a response to an SES spam report.

A quick search turns up 50 or so in my sent mail folder within the past year or two.

3 of the most recent 5 reports are all the same message content (likely the same sender, although possibly using different—maybe hacked—accounts).

By way of comparison, I've sent a similar volume of complaints to Twilio Sendgrid, received a response to every single complaint, and a random sampling of recent reports doesn't show any repeat message content.

Google doesn't even provide a way to report spam from Gmail users, which is ironic given the OP is complaining about Google's aggressive spam blocking. Spam from Gmail is comparable in volume to what I receive from SES and Sendgrid, and almost all of those messages are obvious phishing and 419 scams. (One would think one of the largest tech companies in the world would be able to implement basic filters to catch these, if they cared enough to do so.) Cf. spam from SES, which is mostly either cryptocurrency pump-and-dump, or semi-legit companies sending to spamtrap addresses that appear on publicly-indexed web pages, in WHOIS, etc. but which have been never used for real correspondence (and have obviously never opted in to any lists).

In short: sargassum seaweed is washed onto shores anyway, why not use it to make bricks? They form the bricks using a standard block-making machine, dry them at the sun, build small houses out of these, and plan to donate these houses to local families in need.

They say that they use 40% of seaweed in the bricks, and 60% is "other organic material". I wonder what material is this.

I also wonder how well the sargassum bricks withstand weather.
Curious, your thoughts on those that are deaf and driving?
As someone who has to make product/technical decisions in this space, my experience is that the regulation is so far removed from the technical/physical reality that it becomes impossible to work out what you're supposed to do.

Add to that the complete lack of case law and previous judgements, and you end up in a situation where you can either ignore the regulation and take the risk that no enforcement will happen, or you're so hamstrung that you can't be competitive.

Some examples:
PECR regulation 6 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2003/2426/regulation/6/m...) - You cannot "gain access to information stored, in the terminal equipment..." without consent. Does this mean I can't have a script that makes a request back to me where that request involves information that was stored in a variable? What about browser properties accessible to javascript? Do I need consent for those? What about the fact that the browser sends me "information stored" whenever it sends an HTTP request and everything other than the initial download of an HTML file is triggered by the contents of that file which I created?

How is one supposed to navigate this minefield? Each DPA publishes guidance about use of cookies and not much else and leaves everyone to try and work out whether a specific technical thing is allowed or not under regulation which is completely woolly and loosely defined.

If you're not based in the EU and don't have any subsidiaries there, you can just ignore it and get on with your life because enforcement isn't practical despite the fact that the regulation claims that it applies to any enterprise which is processing the personal data of EU citizens regardless of where they're based. If you are based in the EU, then you have to try and work out all the answers to these questions at great expense with no way of knowing whether you got it right or you're going to get hit with a big fine in the future because a judge somewhere doesn't agree with your interpretation.

The whole thing is a hot mess that achieves absolutely nothing at the moment.

To echo the other reply, I don't rely on email for critical comms.

If I had to rely on email for critical comms, I would use a product that lets me see the SMTP logs, and alert on failures. I would have some backup provider that I could then quickly shift to

But I'm still an on-prem email administrator, so my entire paradigm is pretty much obsolete. I may not be the best source of info in this space
Likewise! Be wary of falling stage lights.
You may be, I may be not. That doesn’t lead to any conclusion than “some people like other people”

I’ve never need to rely on anyone, other than of course normal economic transactions.

I love my multi-scale bass (the poetically named Ibanez EHB1265MS :-). Possibly the weirdest thing about playing a multi scale instrument is that my eyes just... adjust the frets to look like they're normal, vertical frets when I'm playing. And, it really took less than half an hour of playing to get used to it.

Glad to hear Strandbergs are nice... I'm sorely tempted by one.
> An emergency vehicle with lights on has the right of way through an intersection even if the lights don’t match.

Is this true in the US?

It sounds surprising to me. Here in the UK they don't get "right of way" by my understanding of the highway code. When approaching a junction they intend to pass through on red, you'll see vehicles slow to a crawl, quadruple check everyone is "giving way" (not the same as having right of way) before crossing.

Edit: "Rule 219" is the most I know about, and it explicitly warns:

> Do not brake harshly on approach to a junction or roundabout, as a following vehicle may not have the same view as you.
While Go is theoretically calculable with infinite processing power, that is not the lever with which the best algorithms have claimed dominance over others.
It's pretty obvious in the article? The WHO put out multiple, seemingly contradictory articles a while ago (I remember reading about it, and people were confused at the time). Turns out the one that say it was safe was secretly funded by Coca-Cola.

It's fairly obvious that they would benefit from apartame's potential risks being ignored.
The problem here is that Cruise launched prematurely, not that automated driving is intractable.

If you are unhappy, does starting to greet your neighbor makes your happier? Or is it the other way around, when you are happy you greet your neighbor.

This sounds like a "one little weird trick to boost your happiness: greet six neighbors."

The important factors are the other things: having a high income, living in a good neighborhood, and and being a good community member. These increase your wellbeing, then of course you'll say hi to everyone.
Yes! I've seen a Waymo car totalled by a collision.

It got rear-ended by a truck at a stoplight.
> Good design is unobtrusive. Products fulfilling a purpose are like tools. They are neither decorative objects nor works of art. Their design should therefore be both neutral and restrained, to leave room for the user's self-expression.

Excuse my French, but fuck Dieter Rams. I certainly understand this viewpoint, and I have no problem with folks that adhere to it, but my problem is with stating as some sort of axiom, with no evidence or reason, that "Products fulfilling a purpose are neither decorative objects nor works of art."

Humans have built things that are both functional and beautiful since culture first existed, and there is nothing wrong with designing products with a strong visual aesthetic viewpoint. If we all followed Dieter Rams' silly advice, all of our computers would still be boring beige boxes, maybe covered in stickers "for the user's self-expression."

Note I say this while agreeing with the latter part of your post. I'm not a fan of this particular design - it feels kitschy and shallow in the same way that Hollywood "hacker" movies show terminals that look like 3D game worlds. But that's just my personal opinion, and I don't fault people for feeling the exact opposite. I do fault people for saying that you shouldn't be allowed to try, and if you do that you are "not following principles of good design."

Better medical technology means people die older. Older people already own most of the capital, having them live longer isn’t going to get us to a healthier society that’s not as biased towards existing capital versus innovation and income.

I'm not sure what distinction you are drawing between "immigration" and "net migration"? Net Migration is just all the people that have immigrated (moved to) to a country minus all those that have emigrated (left) a country. That is the figure of 600k for the UK currently.

>> In the UK it's not an issue with immigration because other variables override it.

Care to name some? I guess you could say that UK housing is "inefficient" but again, I'm not sure making people live in tower blocks just so that more people from other countries can move here is all that fair of a solution, or if it is what people are proposing at least make it explicit and have it as a party policy that people can vote on.

TBH property oligarchs would favour high migration because of the effect it has on property values and rents.
I mean it's not generally accepted to say "I'm dying of cancer, you?" but it's a good jumping point for lighter conversation, which is healthier than not having the interaction at all.
Many places are probably past the point where neighborhoods could be connected with public transit simply due to how they're laid out and how sparsely they are populated. Cities though I agree. Extreme individualism and convenience probably.
> Also, LLMs know Node.js a lot better than they know Deno which may be a significant factor in 2023 and beyond.

I'm not disagreeing necessarily, but wow, I really hope it doesn't come to that. The timeline where languages, runtimes (and by extension libraries, frameworks, and even tools) are chosen based on how well they're supported by LLM tooling sounds horrifying.

It would block adoption of better designed languages, tools and frameworks. If evolution is going to be stifled by LLMs, we'll miss out on paradigm shifts like JS Promises and ES6.
Yeah but it is more of a general purpose tool than a woodworking tool... And this post kinda proves my point
Other factors may have made any effect less obvious.
Are they more likely to be hit by a fire truck than other drivers? I see plenty of drivers on the road fail to yield to emergency vehicles.
In Python, can typings define a property added to a function?

Example, I have some Redux helpers that are functions, but those functions also define a `.actionType` property. TypeScript handles that.

edit: accidentally wrote "object" instead of "function"
> I am wondering if this is some generational divide at play where some slice of the population had been conditioned that the only valid interactions are those that happen online.

I think it's likely some of that is at play, yeah. A less confrontational way to phrase this could be: perhaps people who were raised with the Internet feel they find sufficient socialization through talking with their friends online, and don't go looking for it elsewhere.

In any case, I wouldn't read too much into it, or take it personally. I'm 35 and have lived in my house for 10 years and have only really met three of my neighbors beyond "hi". If we were neighbors, maybe you would think I think you're intimidating or unsocial, but that's not the case, I'm just shy and have a hard time being around new people. Talking with strangers is a major event for me, and I'm usually not up to the task without a lot of mental prep work. I wish I was more social, but well, I've tried, and I'm just not comfortable with it. It is what it is.
I agree that my comment was not constructive, frustration got the better of me, I will work on that. You might want to look into your abrasive/patronizing tone used to deliver that message.

Also, I don't agree that comparing Gmail to cancer is minimizing the seriousness of cancer, maybe you are just not seeing the damage to email as a decentralized platform Gmail is doing.

UK Pint == Imperial Pint. USA disapproves of imperial measure, for historical reasons.

A fluid ounce is based on avoirdupois, which isn't "imperial", so it didn't have to be abandoned. I think pints, quarts and gallons, all being based on the pint, are the only measures that differ significantly between the US and the UK.
Big time. I have a neighbor about half a block from me that would harass me when I would walk my dogs by his house. Based on his behavior I assume he struggles with some mental issues.

The one positive is I avoid his house completely, so now my standard dog walking route is a block longer, so more exercise for me and the dogs.
Pointing to google as a positive example hasn’t made since in quiet some time.
It’s specifically odd here because it’s pretty reasonable to say that retirements savings (which initially came from income) shouldn’t factor into a family’s expected contribution to a child’s college education, for the same reason it would be odd to double tax income and then the assets that you buy with the income.

Agree, the point is that the story of Elon taking personal financial risk with SpaceX is false.

For Tesla, besides the huge DOE grant, he had SpaceX loan some of the excess government money to Tesla in the first few years to derisk his investment there as well.
Something that confuses me is that this states it's running a binary compiled 30years ago. How is this not 16bit?

I'm aware of win32s, I used to run it but still it seems unlikely this is a win32 console app unless there's an incredibly unlikely set of circumstances behind this.

Or perhaps it was simply recompiled after all despite what the Twitter post states?
> This isn’t like the game of Go where processing power eventually wins...[it's] the definition of too complicated for a computer.

Isn't that sentiment how people used to think about computers playing Go, writing an essay, beating humans at Jeopardy, or transcribing spoken language? Betting on the side of "computers will never be able to X" seems like a generally bad bet.

> We could have public transportation, but we just can’t imagine a world where someone doesn’t privately own a thing someone else rents.

The concept of self driving cars isn't mutually incompatible with public transportation.

> But gives them more opportunities to acquire such token.

Maybe, if the session tokens are being acquired by improper logging. If the tokens are acquired via the user’s cookie store, for instance, the total number of session tokens is going to be the same — the user is going to use the applications they use, and the stored session tokens will reflect that.

> Only if tokens lifespan is counted in milliseconds. Otherwise, the attacker will refresh the session token as soon as they get it, and continue to do so. An active session token can be thought as having arbitrary long lifespan.

If the session timeout is based on inactivity, not total life time.

There are instances where session timeouts/forced reauth are useful and where an attacker could not endlessly refresh the token.
Right but there are ways to handle this like collapsible barriers that would be quick to put in place. If people prefer to go through the jetway they always can and simply stay seated.

This is proven out already in other countries, the ones that want to leave through the jetway stay seated and still get out faster because even if they are near the back most people around them leave through the rear so they make it out the forward jetway much quicker.
Why? What did you experience?
If you want cheap european beer just go to south europe. It will be cheaper than the water they charge you for.
Yes, that's exactly right. A town needs to be designed in a way that encourages walking. Shops to walk to, trains for commuting, a certain density, etc. Walking create so many opportunities to see people regularly without planning and to become comfortable with each other and it grows from there. Multiply that by everyone else doing it and you do get a real sense of community.

> Large parts of America have chosen forms of development that are naturally isolating: It's no surprise so many feel isolated!

Indeed - I have relatives that live in a place like this. Nice homes, etc but few trees, no sidewalks, and nowhere to walk. Why would you other than exercise? And a lot of people like it this way and that's fine. They want privacy and aren't interested in building relationships with people they live near. That's fine.

But if you want a sense of community then you need to live in a place that encourages walking by making it useful.
> It is sad that automated cars are being asked to detect emergency vehicles at all.

I hope that this is a joke. "must detect and yield to emergency vehicles the way to an emergency scene" is a known, basic driving task that human drivers do. These vehicles are intentionally loud, bright and easy to detect. Are you saying that automated vehicles cannot be expected to do known, basic driving tasks on easy-to-detect obstacles?
I was having the same issues. It appears nothing is written directly nowadays.
It conveniently translates to "save and exit"!

Speaking for myself, the question is always fairly routine but sometimes people answer genuinely. In almost all those cases I really do care, but the register of the conversation usually only shifts after it’s apparent that the person is looking for more than a routine conversation
A fun side-effect of the "general" stability of Windows APIs is that Win32/DX has become a very stable and reliable "universal" API for Linux (and other OSes) via the massive amount of work put into Wine/Proton. I keep seeing games drop their Linux-native releases in favor of just shipping for proton.
I don't consider hardisk now although I have tons of them. I keep multiple copies of those files but it is a pain in the ass to distribute the same backup to different disks simply because their R/W rate is too slow. After transfering files, I run validation program to make sure they are all right. These processes take me a week or so. And I have to do this regularly to ensure errors do not accumulate through time. Therefore now I want SSD but the price is still 4X of HDD per TB.

Slight degradation in quality is not my concern, since ultimately I use realtime upscaling tools to watch them. But I don't know how exactly H.265 affects the quality of a video.

By making the file smaller, I can
1) distribute to other disk faster, 2) validate correctness faster, 3) set a higher redundant rate because now I have more free space.

But the problem is will H.265 become obsolete before it becomes infrastructure. You know AV1 is a better algorithm and companies are pushing it.

Or H.265 is not available in the future due to I don't know royalty issue or something like that?
> The difference between micro and nano is that nano's keyboard shortcuts are pretty opinionated, while micro's are the ones used by most (GUI) applications nowadays:

Opinionated, or just old and consistent? Nano is a clone of an editor related in 1989. Things weren't as settled back then. IIRC, I remember Ctrl-X was used to exit some DOS apps. IIRC, the current "GUI conventions" originated as Mac-isms in 1983/84.

> Ctrl+S for saving, Ctrl+F for find, Ctrl+Z for undo, Ctrl+Q to exit etc. etc. There is also a helpful hint at the bottom of the screen that you can press Alt+G to see the shortcuts, or Ctrl+G for some help.

Reminds me of one I had where it would start clicking and file access froze, so I would turn it side ways and bang it against the table, it seemed to unstick it.
From the article:
> A few months later, WHO declared aspartame, a key ingredient in Diet Coke, to be a “possible carcinogen”, then quickly issued a third report that seemed to contradict its previous findings – people could continue consuming the product at levels determined to be safe decades ago, before new science cited by WHO raised health concerns.

That contradiction stems from beverage industry corruption of the review process by consultants tied to an alleged Coca-Cola front group, the public health advocacy group US Right-To-Know said in a recent report. <

So, the second of your ideas is the correct interpretation. In my real layman's take of the timeline it went as such:

1) First report says Aspartame potentially bad.

2) Second report says, yeah, pretty sure Aspartame bad and going to go on the naughty list.

3) Third report comes out contradicting the previous reports, says everything is okie dokie artichokie.

The third report is the one being linked to a Coca-Cola front group.
I feel like I read this comment on another thread a while ago. Did I?

Because Trump gutted the government so badly that it's taking years to do the congressional dance to approve replacements for many departments. Congress isn't helping either being basically a failed political body.
I don't see how buying something that is mass produced is a form of self-expression outside of the idea that you're an adherent of basic capitalism. Expression is what happens AFTER you buy it.

Personally speaking after growing up in the 80s and having to be a slave to multiple brands from year to year lest I be labeled a lesser child for not having whatever was chic, I'm happy if everyone wears non-descript but functional items that they then modify how they want. Most children in 1987 were walking Coca-cola billboards who wouldn't be caught dead without Guess, Girbaud, or Z Cavaricci jeans. It's one of the outlying reasons that most public schools have dress codes nowadays.
