I generally try and reply with "This email address isn't owned by the person you're trying to reach. Please reach out to them and reconfirm what email they want you to use."

Responses have been pretty bizarre though. I usually get what amounts to an "Okay".

I would have expected some sort of "Could you please delete those sensitive documents we sent you?" at minimum.

Also bizarre... I don't have a very common name or email address for my main Gmail.

I can only imagine what john.smith@gmail.com has to deal with.

From a solution / feature perspective, it'd be nice to have a auto-response + trash on anything other than allowlisted dots and plusses. Maybe Gmail supports this? The worst offenders finally got the picture, so I didn't dig into it.
Teams uses Skype under the hood.
The increase in demand drives up the price of offsets, which increases supply and investment in better carbon capture techniques and scaling. Im lumping in things like direct air capture, bioenergy carbon capture and storage, and enhanced weathering as offset generating technologies that are currently too expensive to be widespread, but with higher carbon prices would become practical.

I got Atmos with my new Soundbar, a Samsung Q990C, which admittedly was not cheap, but with Atmos it really does work well. It sounds like thunder is above me, planes flying above, with the sound bouncing off the ceiling. I was quite impressed.

The thing is, some of the first advice you'll get about Docker is that the order matters a ton. These two Dockerfiles technically create the same result, but the difference between the two is very important:

COPY . .
RUN npm install

And:

COPY package.* .
RUN npm install
COPY . .

The first file reruns npm install every single time any file changes in the code. The second only reruns npm install if the packages change. That can make the difference between a 5-minute build and a 5-second build, so it's not a small optimization.

Given how important the order of instructions is, it's hard for me to think of it as declarative. It fits better in my mind as a sequence of instructions, which is the very definition of imperative.
Conventional amphotericin B can only be administered directly into veins and is highly toxic. The new lipid nanocrystal formulation...can be taken orally and is non-toxic.

“An orally administered amphotericin that is effective against nearly all fungus and non-toxic sounds like the holy grail of antifungal medicines...

This is good news, though you can bet money that fungal infections will eventually adapt. They need to stop acting like we have solved it once and for all! It's an ongoing battle and as we change tactics, the invaders into our bodies change tactics too.
How much of this tax reduction is based on convoluted Hollywood accounting? If the tax on the value of the show is higher than the streaming revenues, doesn’t that imply that the valuation is bogus?

So your claim is that when the FDA says this:

> ISPs could alternatively roll such discretionary fees into the base monthly price, thereby eliminating the need to itemize them on the label.

they are lying and flat rate pricing is prohibited by the FDA? As somebody who does pay flat rate (not to Comcast) I wonder how my provider did pull off such an illegal feat. Also, T-mobile (not exactly an ISP but also a telecom) has "fees and taxes included" flat rate, and they are charging exactly as stated. Would be weird if this prohibition were applying only to ISPs but not to mobile providers?

It's the old "first hit is always free" thing, where Microsoft buys a product (skype), bundles it in adding value to the product (not to mention ocs/linc sucked), and then raises prices each generational based on that. Once it's inside though, the products just linger, and generally become worse in doing so.

Any old slog of a company full of windoze admins will always vote for the quick/easy of enabling Teams to show some modernization value to an org vs. going out of their way with Slack.

Anyone using Slack does so because they are pointedly NOT Microsoft, or has ever actually used Teams prior to know how soul-crushing it is. Particularly so if you have a lot of Mac and/or Linux users. Like Office, M$ treat any non-Windows user as a blatant alien anomaly with minimal support or care, if any.

I support Microsoft as much as they support me as a Linux user stuck helping customers of mine with Windoze environments. I simply hate any of them that make me use Teams, so they usually don't remain customers long if so.

We can slow down the use of fossil fuels, but as long as we are 8 billion people on the planet and we find no better way to produce ammonia, steel, concrete and plastics, we will keep needing huge amounts of fossil fuels.

Personally, I feel that the solution is to gradually raise the tax rate on fossil fuels in order to disincentives their use and incentivize the production of alternatives. We've done this for cigarettes and it has worked. However, you will probably have the vaping equivalent of petrol that will come out and gain more marketshare.

The second solution is to make energy so cheap and abundant that petrol becomes unattractive.

To massively and suddenly restrict petrol use is a great way to start riots and ensure that your government will either be overthrown or has to descend into tyranny.

It could be a subtle amount of burnout and or low grade ME/CFS. Most people who have this don’t know it. People who work in tech are more likely to have the underlying preconditions that increase susceptibility and onset does occur as you get older.

That's amazing. One thing worth noting is that instrument designs evolved to be repairable, even if repair required specialized materials and techniques. For instance the old fashioned hide glue, basically a form of gelatin, is still the only acceptable glue for string instruments except under some extreme circumstances.

Curious: have you ever considered going to a therapist about this? It's not psychologically normal to never want children. I wouldn't be surprised if it was also co-morbid with other psychological issues.
The collapse of fertility is a universal, cross cultural outcome of economic development.

It seems that birthrate only rebounds after some sort of catastrophic society meltdown - total wars or famines - which reset the board at country level and maybe also reset priorities at individual level. Government interventions have a very poor record of success, though we can watch Hungary under Orban with interest - his plan to give women who have 4 or more kids lifetime freedom from income tax - is the sort of radicalism worth trying.

For investor types, might be worth looking into tech eco-system for artificial womb technology. Seems like a solid bet that we may need to start manufacturing humans at some point, sooner rather than later
Too late to edit my first reply to you, but I wanted to add that this situation would be like if Facebook said you can’t use React to make a social media website.

React wouldn’t have the adoption it would today if Meta were to have done something so untrustworthy. So many organizations would have avoided it entirely because they would have seen that as untrustworthiness and a business risk.
So, why should ppl stay in these countries where they cannot use their skills?
The death penalty is irreversible and so convicts receive an automatic appeal and most states have extremely strict standards for execution. What this means is that if anything is even remotely out of order, it's entirely possible to get the convictions overturned - even when the person in question is guilty. The Eastburn Family Murders [1] are a perfect example of this.

The murderer/rapist was initially convicted and sentenced to death. Effective defense was able to get his conviction thrown out. Normally this would mean you walk free, due to double jeopardy protections. But in this case the murderer was a military officer. Once DNA testing was refined, it was proven conclusively that he was indeed the murderer/rapist. So he was tried in the military court system, which is independent of the double jeopardy protections provided in the civilian court system, and convicted to death - again.

The point I make here is that many of those 190 probably are guilty, and I think this is generally not a bad thing. My main concern with the death penalty is an innocent man being put to death. But if the standard of conviction is sufficiently high that even a guilty man can walk free, at least on occasion, then that gives one some degree of assurance in the ability of an innocent man to prove his innocence.

I have to disagree that Atmos itself sucks. The problem is that for marketing reasons it was decided to put Atmos in situations that it should never be in. A soundbar cannot benefit from Atmos and it should have never been put there in the first place.

I have a 5.1.2 setup that I setup myself, I did the optimizations (really just used the automated thing) and its great. I never have an issue with not hearing things.

I have even seen arguments that if you only have a 5.1 (or 5.2) setup Atmos is worthless for you, but at least in that situation at worst you are just getting roughly the same output.

Basically, if you don't have those extra speakers (or real surround sound) there was no reason that Atmos should have ever been marketed to you and it is doing everyone (including the spec) a disservice.
I guess my question is at what point does the decline in fossil extraction become self-reinforcing. If extraction is going down, firms won’t invest in developing new resources. This means constraints on supply leading to higher prices. That in turn will drive less consumption (particularly as non-fossil alternatives become mainstream.) There is a potential feedback loop here that drives things towards zero much more rapidly than you might imagine. Anyway, one can hope.
Doesn’t matter, they won the market so unbundling is just a symbolic move from now on
Skype has a very, VERY small subset of Teams features. Teams is the nexus for a much broader, fully integrated ecosystem - Azure AD, Azure itself, Power Apps, Power Automate, SharePoint, M365, Todo, etc.

Anybody starting a new enterprise project in a Microsoft shop will look at building it around these technologies first. We are talking about compute, storage, front-end, back-end, integration, etc. all hosted on this stack, with Teams providing the entry point for the experience.

Skype, Zoom, Slack, etc. will never compete with this vision.
Yeah, they're two related yet distinct issues. Take Medium or Quora for example. The whole 'login to view any content at all' issue would be enshittification, since its the platform owners trying to screw over users for their own benefit. The flood of low quality, crappy articles and answers by people trying to make a quick buck would be this other phenomenon, since its the users trying to make a buck at everyone else's expense.
I personally find it somewhat rude, unless it's a follow up message or someone I know very well.

To give a bit of context I help people as a courtesy when the information on my website does not suffice. If readers can't be arsed to say hello before they ask for a few minutes of my time, I quietly wonder who raised them. Imagine walking up to a retail employee and blurting out "I need printer paper" without saying "hello" or "excuse me".

The other guy is wrong. It just takes a simple Google search to confirm this.

I've had to implement and manage these banners at almost every company I've worked for the last several years. It's EU law. Websites that operate in the EU must obtain explicit consent to use tracking cookies. The exception here would be essential cookies which are needed to provide service – although you may still need to consent to do that depending on what data the service is collecting / processing.

Some banners don't comply with EU regulation because they default checkboxes to approve cookies and the EU regulation requires "explicit consent". That said, you almost certainly won't find a major website that doesn't comply for EU visitors and where sites get this wrong it's usually not intentional and is normally because smaller companies don't have the time or resources to comply with the nuances of EU data law. The larger companies who do have the resources hire people like myself to do it for them. There's a sizeable industry around complying with EU GDPR regulation here in Europe. Companies like Usercentrics make millions charging companies for EU-compliant cookie banners, https://www.cookiebot.com/

It's not great for small businesses, but it's great if you're a larger corporate with the money for compliance or an individual riding the EU regulatory gravy train.

The regulation is only 99 articles long and full of fun legal talk if you're interested in reading it yourself. It's just one of the many documents you'll need to familiarise yourself with if you want to do business in the EU:

For me? Yes it does, and I'm not fetishizing hardware, etc. In my mind, it's very "this is the way it is"

I'm a single developer/entrepreneur who as put dozens of products to market single handedly, and a number of them have done really well (some getting over 10M/yr another getting much higher than that). Right now I'm managing 3 full time... and Some days I code upwards of 15+ hours a day when building.

So basically efficiency is important to me. I literally am doing the job of like 3-4 developers at once (I do all design, frontend, backend, data analysis, reporting, infrastructure, etc).

"yeah, I guess, if there's one to spare, but don't other people need it more? I do most of my thinking away from the screen anyway, and I run my stuff on a server"

This just sounds like a mopey slow answer, sorry. I'm not hating on what they're saying but I'm not going to intentionally make my life slower/worse because of some disjointed idea that doesn't make sense. "Someone else needs it" sounds like fake ... modesty or something. MOST of my time is spent thinking in the shower, in my sleep, or with a physical pencial/notebook in my hand where I architect things. That doesnt mean the hours upon hours .... 30,000+ hours at this point in my life, that I've been on the computer actually building that I'm not going to use the very best tools at my disposal.

When people constantly call nice things "fetishizing" it sounds to me they're just different kinds of thinkers, more like scientists or objective experience-driven, domain-knowledge heavy type programmers. I'm not like that, I'm more about pattern recognition when information is missing, and filling in the gaps and moving quickly/efficiently/elegantly, and design and aesthetics are extremely critical to me. Elegantly designed/efficient code is extremely important to me, just as much as an efficient workflow.

You could call it "being creative" or whatever you want, but those things are very important to me as they all feed into my mind as fuel... into this giant arc reactor of mental substrate, and I look through this kaleidescope connections and I refine refine refine go go go.
On the flip side, every blu ray player I've ever had the pleasure of using has been clearly audible over the content I've been watching.
>Italy started to import electricity at a premium, mostly from its French neighbor

Of course the French taxpayers now face decades of vast nuclear decommissioning costs. Italy doesn't. Rather as a country with lots of sun and many sparsely populated windy areas it can stock up on increasingly cheap renewables aided by possibly dirt cheap future battery prices. So you may be right, but equally maybe history will look quite favorably on Italy's energy choices. We will see.
I have been extremely satisfied with the service from my MVNO. I am subscribed to the bottom-tier plan, with 500MiB/mo of data. I currently pay the bill monthly through electronic BillPay.

If I ever go over my data cap in a month, I will be automatically upgraded to the next tier plan. Here's the catch: my current plan is grandfathered, and no longer available to switch back. Once I "accidentally" upgrade, I'll be stuck there.

No big deal, right? It's another $5/mo. Well, guess how much the AutoPay discount is?

The soundbar market exists in part because tv speakers got a lot worse. 80s and 90s CRT tv speakers and early LCDs that still had forward-facing speaker grills and enough depth to fit decent-size speakers, were a lot better than what ship in almost all TVs now.
> In my experience that bit is more forgotten in protestant countries rather than catholic ones.

I think you're misunderstanding the "hard work" part. Unlike (perhaps) in the US, the work ethic part of northern/Germanic countries is not about working super hard to get rich, but rather to do the job with the integrity and effort that is reasonable, given your health and abilities.

The typical reward is not to get super rich quickly. But if you uphold the ideal, you deserve respect, even if you're cleaning staff or the janitor.

Similarly, NOT living up to the ethical standards will be damning regardless of social status. Cheating and corruption comes with harsh social punishment, especially for those near the top.

Remember that we're talking about the part of the world that pratically invented both Social Democracy and the Nordic Model.

Now, I also have family and contacts in various places in Southern Europe and South East Asia, some of which as very wealthy. What these ALL have in common is that various types of corruption and plutocracy are just facts of life that are taken for granted, and nobody cares.

Now my own hypothesis is that religion plays only a small role in this difference, and that this is mostly a consequence of the difficulty of surviving as a farmer in Northern Europe during the medieaval era, and especially in Scandinavia.

People used to live on isolated farms or in small villages, where the farms would barely produce enough food to sustain the family of the farmer. Those who did not work at least moderately hard usually would not survive, and there was little left over to give to either the poor or the nobility.

This led to an egalitarian outlook, where people who wanted to live off the produce of others were not tolerated easily, regardless of whether they were beggars, thieves or barons. And since production was low, there was little to tax or steal, anyway.

In warmer climates, farm yields were much greater, which caused success to be much more about social relationships than hard work at the farm.
It would have been fine to charge up front. It's the bait and switch that's annoying.
This is the same series of events that we saw (and continue to see) play out after IBM attempted to shut off access to Redhat by competitors. They had control of every user's attention, and they exerted huge control over the direction of development. They lost control when they gutted CentOS, and now their competitors are banding together to make their own offerings. This might end up fragmenting their ecosystem in the long run.

I see a similar result of HashiCorp's attempts. OpenTF will make a suitable replacement, and adoption may sway to their fork rather than HashiCorp's. As they continue to meddle, the community (which wants free software) will continue to push back.
Women are the limiting factor in reproduction.

Potentially a man could donate his sperm to a sperm bank and father thousands of children, a woman takes a minimum of 9 months and probably needs some downtime and it all has a big physiological impact.

The reason why women have always born the brunt of efforts to regulate sexuality is because if you control 90% of the women you control 90% of the reproductive capacity, if you control 90% of the men that last 10% could impregnate all the women.
