Getting a commercial mailbox (e.g. UPS Store) in the same zip code as your primary residence can be helpful. I've had one long enough that on my credit report it is listed as an alternate residence address. Whenever I'm asked for an address online, that is usually the one I provide.
No, because as recently as just last year, Twitter didn't downrank external links so heavily. Viral articles were possible last year.
Then they will:

tell you they want it installed on all desktop computers and all word templates changed to use it, ignoring mobile only people, and the fact that your brand standards will appear for the purchasing department but not anybody outside the company you send the documents to,

need to be talked out of using it in email signatures, and that the only safe option is Arial. Which they could have just picked for everything in the first place,

ignore the brand standards themselves because conforming to them takes too much time and attention paying.

Pretty soon they will forget they even standardized the company on a font, but the mess will still linger.
Your great, great grandfather probably died around the age of 40 before the transplants and modern society advanced the medicine. He would probably be in favour of living longer than dying early.

I’m actually curious how people make arguments while referring to a completely different period of time with its own problems.
There is nothing wrong with jumping in and saying stuff that probably isn't right on an internet forum! That doesn't make it valuable or insightful, it's just how forums work. Your comment was cool with me and you shouldn't feel like you need to change at all.

That said, the response to your comment was insightful and made interesting points. You did in fact kick off a very interesting conversation!
In the olden days you used 1x1px transparent gifs for margins. You could also use table cell spacing and padding if you were going all out on tables.

Another common hack was a fixed width table with a text-align=right attribute inside a single center tag. This gave you a fixed width content area (inside the table) that was centered in case the user's window was wider than your design's intended width.

As far as an exciting time, the state of the art advancing was great but there were a lot of limitations. HTML and browsers rapidly advanced but people didn't necessarily jump on those updates. There was also a lot of divergence between the specs and implementations. Reliable layouts targeted the lowest common denominators between different browsers.
When was this? Sometime in the last couple of years?

Thank you for the well thought out response. I disagree with just about everything you say, but I understand where you're coming from and I appreciate the validation that the use of a VPN is more important than it's ever been. As a professional courtesy: calling yourself "essential" is an enormous red flag and you might want to consider different phrasing.
Oh, I completely agree with you on that. Most consumer items are built to a price point. If you're building to sell at a low price, you have to keep Bill of Materials cost low to make selling the thing worthwhile, so it's not surprising that, e.g., a cheap riding mower is made from thin stamped steel chassis whereas a commercial one is mostly heavy weldments that hold up to being banged around for hours each day.

I'm not being difficult. When I read "engineered to fail" that's not the impression I get from the statement.

Sorry, Foucault was an ignorant quack. Everything is about power, only in the mind of a pathological psychopath. Someone leading a long, prestigious and rich life is evidence of competence.

Besides, the historical record when it comes to Newton is pretty clear. His personal abilities could hardly have been faked, and he had a personality pretty much opposite to a con man.
Throwaway accounts and fake names for everything as much as possible, as well as a fake address or a paid PO Box if a real one is needed.

Not using the same accounts between services, and distorting real details like city.

Seems to work pretty well. I'm pretty invisible based on my own research.

>> stylometry is far too strong

> launder your style through ChatGPT

> I wonder if one could hook up a browser extension to do this

It seems totally feasible. Though I think it would be far more interesting to make a purpose built anti-stylometry tool, that explicitly tries to analyze for and mute the signals stylometry uses.

Edit: what I'm talking about is apparently called "adversarial stylometry":

> Used to work in Europe for a CA based company. Every tender required at least 7 years of support, sometimes 10, including all parts. Good to see them catching up

This is for consumer goods. It's not the same. Consumers could always decide to only buy things with 7 years of support, like your tender process.

The "catching up" nonsense isn't great either.
> "In practice the skill that earns higher salary is to pretend to be very competent by using jargon and parroting stuff."

Remember that people who believe things like this would be in the same union as you, be paid just as well as you thanks to union contracts, and expect you to strike on their behalf. Do you really want to be in solidarity with people like this?
I'd arrived at a similar conceptualisation which I call "The Tyranny of the Minimum Viable User":

<https://web.archive.org/web/20230000000000*/https://old.redd...>

In terms of impacts on software / application complexity, capability, and suitability to the needs and interests of advanced users, I feel somewhat similarly. I do take exception however with the notion that serving the needs of the much larger set people with less-advanced skills or interests is necessarily bad. In general I do support the effort of expanding access to computers and digital technologies.

A large part of the degredation Vendrov describes is less an element of the people using these tools as it is the financial and economic incentives of the entities providing them, encapsulated in Cory Doctorow's ever-more-widely-known term enshittification. That's driven by the dynamics of winner-take-all monopolies, advertising, surveillance capitalism, and the inherent challenges of monetising information goods.

What I would very much like to see, though, is a world in which both general and advanced-skills access are available and supported. A general characteristic and problem of media and information goods, going back to the advent of printing, is that popular tends to equate to degraded quality. This shows up in other products and services as well, though I'd argue it's most pernicious with information and media.
Aren't public company executives always required to sell on a predefined schedule?
I mean, HOA is just another level of government. Same thing happens with sheriff auctions to recover unpaid taxes.
Most waste water treatment plants are already 'carbon negative' - since they're getting fossil-fuel-free turds and normally turn it into methane for energy generation.

On official charts, it shows as 'biogas' - although usually in statistics the biogas from waste water treatment processes isn't separated from the biogas generated from municipal landfills.
I don't think you're out of date rather the parent is conflating WCAG saying "don't have contrast less than" as if it meant "your contrast should be near".
So instead of increased taxation and a municipal government with more powers (mine can fine for unkempt lawns etc), Americans say no, we want freedom and small government. Then you invent HOAs to remove those same freedoms, levy fees instead of taxes, provide services that really should be handled by the city, and are more oppressive? I just don't understand.
Reddit definitely demands an email to register. It's unclear to me whether they verify it (I didn't bother to check), but it's the first thing they ask for.
Pre-Elon Twitter was arguably the last major social media site that actually supported some subset of the "open web" people like to reminisce about here. Articles had the possibility of going viral because the old Twitter didn't downrank external links so heavily, and even encouraged it with the ability to view all quote tweets (another feature X just disabled).

And now it's gone. I think it's fine to mourn that.
No, a registration wall in front of a wishlist of a service.

I think that's an incorrect oversimplification. The Internet didn't grow from ARPANET like a seed grows into a tree. ARPANET didn't become bigger and bigger until it became the Internet. The Internet was the merger of many networks and many of them never communicated with any computer in ARPANET and we're developed with absolutely zero funding from the United States government.
Yes, that would be the solution with a "box" that needs to have at least 4 ethernet ports, to which this or that Linux mini distro is installed and configured, I was looking for something already made and tested/easily configurable.

As you detailed, the way of working of this hypothetical device is simple enough (maybe too simple) and I thought that something like that existed and I was simply unable to find it.

Deciding to spend the next ten years to life in prison is not usually as good a way to respond to adversity as it sounds in the abstract.
Of the top of my head:

1) Lack of libraries.

2) Little to non-existent tooling & observability support.

3) Lots of challenges around gRPC. That it needed a discovery service such as etcd was a big source of pain. I remember two or three massive downtimes where an adjacent team went through hell for a day just to get back a high throughput system back online. gRPC + etcd was very susceptible to thundering herd problem.

4) Lack of experienced developers who would guide others idiomatic way of doing things. And related, go routines need a different mindset and somewhat a grounds up re-learning. The code would routinely get into deadlock sort of scenarios.

I conceded that most of the above are not inherent to Go but to any new system/language. I'm sure they all have been addressed now as the language and ecosystem has matured. That was the point I was trying to make though; don't jump onto a new bandwagon. Of course you want to learn it on your own and experiment that's totally fine but to use it in production is fraught with risk IMO.
My mother-in-law gifted me a Wallstreet that she used in the 90s. I was almost tempted to buy a spot welder to build my own PRAM battery for it since at the time I looked there were no aftermarket ones available.

Banter by definition is teasing, which insulting. That, along with being humorous in that context and not to be taken seriously is what makes it banter rather than any other form of exchange.

Lets just go to the dictionary:

Banter (n): the playful and friendly exchange of teasing remarks.

Teasing (adj): intended to provoke or make fun of someone in a playful way.
Merchants can apparently do a "force post". Privacy.com's help page [1] says:

> Broadly speaking, merchants only resort to force posts when they are faced with the potential for serious loss as a result of fraud. For instance, if you rent a car and don't return it, having a limit on a card or closing the card does not absolve you of the responsibility to return or pay for the car, and the merchant can force post the charge.

In the western US, water rights generally derive from first historical productive use of the water. Older uses take precedence over later uses in case of low water years. So a farm (mine, factory, city) established in the 1800s has a right to use that amount of water before cities established later can take any water. These rights are transferable (sellable), so cities can purchase water rights from other holders. Note that downstream rights holders may have prior claim to water over upstream users.

Water allocation rights are generally use-it-or-lose-it, so early water rights are incentivized to make even marginally productive use of their full allocation, rather than to leave it for other higher-value use.
Unless they can levy your income or put a lien on your assets, they can "come after you legally" all they want, but can't force you to pay. I think this is the general problem with small claims court as well -- you may win your case, still doesn't magically collect your money.
Yeah that seems far more reasonable never mind.

I disagree. If it is not playable due to the manufacturing failing to prevent cheating, there is no need to replace parts on it, as it would be broken either way. A fair playing field is essential part of a functional game.

If the immobilizer on your car fails, it will brick your car too. The solution isn't to prohibit immobilizers and shrug our shoulders at car thieves, it is to require manufacturers to provide parts. Which we have long done for cars in the US.

TL;DR: Don't prohibits locks that protect consumers just because the lock could need maintenance. Require the manufacturer to provide parts for the lock.

> Storing metadata out-of-band strikes me as key to any usable content management system within a realistically complex space.

Yes and no. I was specifically comparing it to Git Annex which is hard to categorize in these terms. It forces every file to become a symbolic link to the actual file living in `.git/annex/` and then every query temporarily mutating the hierarchy of directories storing these symbolic links. I found the latter disruptive enough (in particular for the directory mtimes) that I was actively avoiding doing any such queries. See: https://git-annex.branchable.com/tips/metadata_driven_views/

On the other hand my current setup involves TMSU queries which result in virtual Emacs directory editor (dired) views that don't affect anything else. I don't even use the FUSE functionality of TMSU.
My dream (and next major project) is to get Demucs (v4, Hybrid Transformer) running in WASM, similar to what I've done with Eigen/C++ and Open-Unmix.
The reality is there are two operating systems for mobile devices for >99% of the population.

The reality is many applications developed for those devices try to harvest data from the user, often without their consent. Contact details, location data, correlation to other apps installed, and so on, in order to make money.

The reality is that this is unethical without explicit consent, and nothing will stop these actors except technical barriers to this malicious activity.

Your desire to sleep in your apartment with the windows open and doors unlocked and cameras off is yours, but if there is a binary decision of "have these protections or not", the answer is clear.
A lot of intellectual/software work is a bit like this though.

It'll be interesting to see whether these AI tools scale into more complex work, as right now what you tend to see is a "good start point" but eventually the context of what you're building gets too large and the AI starts to produce junk.

You raise a good point but you are too generous. The buyer tends to be mercenary. I think generic "professional" management only ends well in mature products and companies, where the main task is to increase efficiency. I don't expect the buyer to innovate the product.

> Targeted ads increase revenues because they are focused on people with a higher proabability of responding positively to the ads.

I have no problem with targeted ads, in fact I prefer them. If I'm browsing a climbing subreddit, show me ads for climbing gear. If I'm searching for luggage online, show me ads for suitcases.

What I strenuously object to is sharing data outside of a specific vendor. If I'm browsing for suitcases on eaglecreek.com, Google and Facebook should never know and never be able to serve me any ads based on something I did outside of their services.
Yes, if the worry is that an app could offload data via the network, then turning off the network only provides a privacy benefit if the network stays off. That’s why the recommendation is to run Google apps in an isolated user profile, so they have no opportunity to collect data in the first place.
Ask HN: Are there any Secure Connect alternatives?
Context: Tutanota's product called "Secure Connect" is being decommissioned November 1, 2023, according to email to customers today.

Question: What is a good replacement for secure hosted contact forms? The more features like Secure Connect had, the better, since that's what needs to be replaced for their current customers.

Features that are welcome include: hosted solution, E2EE, 2-way communication, file attachments, no need for submitter to bring an email address, page customization, and bringing your own (sub)domain name.

In terms of entrepreneurship: If there is no current competitor, is this is an opportunity to capture however many customers Secure Connect had? Tutanota is focusing elsewhere, but there could be a market for this still. Or is this discontinuance an indication that the market does not exist?

[Note: This is a thoughtfully refactored re-post. I'm not sure why the original post was made dead, but I think it's because the first try linked to duplicative social media thread in a "question" post. Sorry for that noob mistake. This is a legit question for the YC/HN community, and the topic was an area of interest of Aaron Swartz through his programming of SecureDrop (which still exists), which obviously inspired the Secure Connect product by Tutanota, which lasted as a commercial offering from 2021-2023.]
The Seebeck effect will definitely have less than 8% efficiency with 80C water. Perhaps GP means that the hot water will already be available to use for hygiene and laundry, which for those with an electric water heater, is a large portion of the household power draw.

I'm not sure if a household sized water tank-full could provide heat over the course of a cold night, and whether a heat exchanger for air heating or water pipes would be more efficient. I suppose it depends on the insulation and placement of the ducts and pipes and how much of the heat makes it to and through a wall.

I did some very crude calculations but assuming 50 gallons at 60C and 1000W energy loss per hour from a moderately insulated house on a 50F night, the full water heater could keep the house at 70F for 5.14 hours. Someone with more recent practical physics usage is welcome to check this figure.
