Outlook stopped providing service for custom domains. Are there alternatives?
What I am looking for is an easy way to set up an email account associated with my own domain. Some time ago I've been using free Google's service, after they stopped providing it, for new domains I've started using Microsoft's Outlook, but it turns out they recently stopped giving free service.<p>If there are no such free services, can anyone recommend something cheap? It's not that I am afraid to pay, but somehow it doesn't feel right to pay for something I barley use. I got used to setting up mail addresses for each new domain I buy and I do buy them mostly for hobby projects - I am only user and maybe I send and email once a month. I consider it to be a good practice to have e.g. webpage's contact form to use email address from webpages domain. But paying hundreds of dollars for such uses cases seems to be an overkill.

It seems like the Amazon reviews might be stacked. There certainly are a ton of them popping up at 10 am this morning. Plus you can always tell a sock puppet review when they don't actually mention content and say things like "Greatest Book Evah" instead.

I know it's important to appear that the book is a proven reading experience, and reviews are the essential way to do that, but fake/paid/friend reviews just raise red flags.

I'm a huge fan of Priceonomics, and I would love to buy their book, but my concern is that a good portion of the book is repackaged articles. And anything that is a "heavily edited mashup" makes me cringe.

"Everything Is Bullshit consists of some new essays, some of our favorite older essays, and some chapters that are heavily edited mashups of various pieces we’ve written before.

If you’re a fan of our blog, we hope the new essays will be reason enough to buy the book: The Seal Clubbing Business, Why Is Art Expensive, How to Sell Nothing for $1000, The Big Lie, The World’s Most Expensive Free Credit Report, and The Food Industrial Complex.

Some of our most popular essays on diamonds, taxi medallions, academic publishing, wine, colleges, and other bullshitty things also make an appearance. Some of the essays are in a different form than when we originally published them; others look mostly the same."

So, with the sock puppet reviews, and the essays that "look mostly the same", they didn't convert me into a buyer.

My advice:

1. Sincere pre-release reviews. Praise and criticism.
2. A clear TOC with the new stories outlined (and republished ones linked to)
3. Enroll in Kindle Match. $9 an Ebook is outside the optimum pricing range for Ebooks. (2.99-4.99)
4. Use this to build the Priceonomic brand and not as a revenue structure. Price accordingly.
5. Look at your Freakonomics and Gladwell covers. I like yours, but I don't think it's the best version you could come up with. Though I recognize that good covers are hard. Very hard.

If you want my help, msg me. This, all of this, is what I do.

One of the advantages of this is that it allows finer-grained control than IMAP, so it can be used, e.g., for apps that can send mail (or create/read outgoing drafts) but cannot read incoming mail. So you can have at least some mail apps that don't require the "keys to the castle" that you are worried about.
By some judges, not by others. If you adhere to a strict textualism of the sort favored by Justice Scalia, intent is a nice frame for the picture, but needs to be epressed operationally, eg Justice Scalia has little time for quotations from the Congressional record about what lawmakers aimed to achieve, and prefers to focus on the text of the law that was passed rather than the goal that was intended to be achieved. Likewise, justices have argued that the best cure for a bad law is zealous enforcement, which will (it is presumed) lead to its displacement by a better law.

These are not the only views in play in the judiciary, but they are important ones nonetheless. I recommend a book by Richard Posner called 'How Judges Think' which offers and accessible and thought-provoking view of the clashes between different philosophies or jurisprudence.

Seems like Google copied this idea:

I actually built something similar myself in December 2013 for iPhone, using just some cardboard and a couple of magnifiers I bought in a book shop the same day. It works surprisingly well, and I was really proud of myself.

... Afterwards I discovered Refugio, and I realized it wasn't a new idea at all. Now it is Google's idea.

I was kind of confused as to the organization of the repos and how this is all brought together. Is there a document somewhere explaining the relationship (hierarchy) of all the repos and what role each plays in the larger polymer material project?

Specifically, where is the code that does the layout for this? I want to see how they are doing the positioning of elements in space. Is it all CSS classes or do they do positioning with javascript?

It looks like auth scopes allow to restrict to read-only already [1], but I would really love to be able to restrict to a specific label/subfolder. Would provide a good level of security without having to forward the email etc, plus labels can be applied afterwards without modifying an email.

It's impossible to tell how serious this is, but for those who are sincerely curious: monopoly money isn't a currency. Worth noting it's not virtual, as far as I can tell, either.
Yes, but the author actually only tried once. Every other example he gives, he claims he hit refresh to get a new one instead of attempting it.
Also, I have to wonder if he was simply mistaken about that first attempt. Are we sure it didn't just fail because his username/password was wrong and display a new captcha, causing him to assume he had failed the first captcha?

I do have to admit most of those are cases where both words are difficult or impossible. But we can at least assume that the easier of the two (the one not cut in half) is the control in most of those.
I believe there are different things causing the nausea in those two cases, so that wouldn't be a concern.

>Besides this -- the article makes no attempt to offer a better solution.

That's completely irrelevant. Criticism is not about solving the problem. It's about pointing out that the current solution is inadequate.

Most movie critics never wrote, directed, or acted in movies. It doesn't invalidate their criticism.

In fact, your criticism of the other poster's criticism doesn't offer a better solution than criticism either. You simply criticize that post. (And that's OK, if ironic.)
It doesn't have that level of granularity, just four auth scopes:

1) Full access to the account

2) Do everything but permanent deletes of threads and messages

3) Read everything, but no write access

4) Create/read/update/delete drafts and send messages/drafts, but no access to anything else

Finer-grained access (especially for reads, but there are some use cases for finer-grained sending controls, too) would be better, but this is, AFAIK, a step ahead of any other email API.

On one hand, I worry that Google is monopolizing the future of the web, but on another, I'm glad because they are effective at producing the features that us developers want.

I have mixed feelings about Polymer, currently its high browser requirements make it too radical to use at work (IE, Firefox & Safari be broken yo), but forward enough to get me experimenting with it on my personal projects. At the workplace, I'll continue to stick to React.

Does anyone else feel this is something that has nothing to do with Google and is purely a Landlord/Tenant issue?

Sure, it is a dick move that this lawyer is engaging in...but ultimately it is a legal one. A legal one the politicians already took steps to remedy.
The horror! Someone might encounter a word!
Agreed. My point is that the data that we're examining are the changes in employment to population surrounding the housing bubble. Measuring on a 0% to 100% scale whether we've begun a recovery from a recent drop in the rate of employment is like measuring the tides from the sea floor.

Personally, my salary has tripled since the recession, and my wealth increased by a factor of five or six. The adult, established upper-middle class is doing fine. My pre-tax savings rate is over 50% though, so I'm not doing a consumption-driven economy any favors.
Granularity is the key here.

I run a small self-tracking service (zenobase.com), and would love to let my users pull in some "metadata" from their email (e.g. the number of messages in the inbox, or the number of messages sent by hour). But I don't want my users to trust me with unrestricted access to their email.
TBH, I've never understood why more people didn't explore the multipart content type feature of email to extend email. It's typical to have plaintext and html in the same email, but why no JSON using a well defined and published JSON-schema.

"The real cause"? Are you suggesting that the protesters don't actually care about the lack of affordable homes for poor people, they just want any excuse to promote vague, mustache-twirling socialism?
Seems to me that real estate law in CA/SF is even more asinine than in NYC. With that said, these tenants are compensated between $5k and $18k per unit. Sucks to get evicted, but that sounds like a windfall situation. Guy is probably going to convert it into a mansion: here in NYC, I'm pretty sure if a landlord wants to do that kind of conversion they have to wait for your tenants to move out of their own accord.

These people shouldn't be complaining about Google. They should be complaining about the Ellis Act.
12 * 7 * 2 = 168 total hours of commitment for a program I know nothing about, except that if you ask me to do something I believe is a waste of time I have to burn five figures in billable hours to ride it out and get the refund or sacrifice the $3,500.

I think the context of the replaced languages also matters. Objective-C is de facto Apple-only to start, whereas Javascript is currently the largest run-everywhere language, mostly due to an accident of history that Dart is not likely to replicate.
I'm not familiar with the intricacies of what constitutes destruction of evidence, but wouldn't that still qualify? I mean, is flushing cocaine down the toilet destruction of evidence because the cops are kicking down your door or because the act is inherently the destruction of evidence?

My point is with my lay understanding of the law, I'm not sure the presence or absence of a warrant has much to do with that classification.
ESB would be renting antennas, and then what you do with them is your own business.

Aereo is selling streaming TV service that just happens to use antennas in the backend.

You might say, it's all the same in the end from a technical point of view. And you're right, but the law doesn't care about the technical point of view. From the legal point of view, Aereo is selling TV streaming, and must comply with laws for TV streaming.
What kinds of traffic is required to make A/B testing robust?

Yep.

> Sure, it is a dick move that this lawyer is engaging in...but ultimately it is a legal one.

Yep. And an expensive one. SF requires EA evictions to come along with rather large (for a typical renter) compensatory packages.

Seems like if you don't want to get evicted by an asshole landlord for reasons other than delinquency and lease violations, don't live in SF -- or buy instead of rent.

You honestly think that the scale was hand picked, rather than being determined by the software being used to generate every graph on the site? The scale looks to be determined by the floor of the lowest value, and the ceiling of the highest.

The Economics of Writing a Book, by Carter Phipps
http://priceonomics.com/can-authors-make-money-selling-books...
I can't answer all of these questions authoritatively, as I have more of a systems focus than a formal methods focus, but I can hopefully point you in the right directions. The various published papers and final release will be the right places to find all the authoritative answers.

1) Why not use the Haskell version?
The Haskell version was (is?) "executable", but it ran only against a hardware simulator, never against real hardware. Haskell has a complex runtime which is not (easily) suitable to run directly on Hardware (although one student I worked with did port a subset of the Haskell runtime to work on top of seL4). Using Haskell directly would be slow, and would require the researchers to prove the correctness of the Haskell runtime implementation as well which would be a huge amount of work.

2) What did you use to check the haskell version? I was not directly involved in this. I believe the Haskell used to write the kernel was a subset of the language, they call "literate haskell" which was used to both implement and specify the kernel. This was somehow minimally translated into a dialect of Isabelle called HOL.

3) What did you use to check that C implements what haskell implements?
A similar process was used for checking that the C implementation was a refinement of the Haskell. Again, a restrictive subset of the C language a tool was written to translate the C code into HOL (I think). I remember the team lead arguing that the way the C implementation was checked, both the code itself and the translator could be checked for bugs.

AFAIK, The tooling was almost all custom except for relying on Haskell and the Isabel theorem prover. The group had a lot of experience for building and releasing the OKL4 kernel so a lot of the dirty work was already done as well as an excellent "Advanced Operating Systems Course" which whips and tortures undergraduates into systems engineers and ideally PhD students. :-)
I'm a software developer, but I'm done trying to remember passwords for every single site.

What do I do?

I just don't use the sites.

I've restricted, and continue to pare down, the sites that I use on the internet.

It's the truth.

I do keep my amazon.com account, so I can order paper and cardboard books the local bookstores don't carry, and read them on the sofa at my house, next to my floor lamp.
In a similar vein, I had an idea for a social site where everyone was invited via other people, establishing the chain of invites. Spamming from one of the leaf nodes propagates upwards as bad karma, decreasing exponentially (or by some power, depending on how strict you want to be about anti-spam ruling) with each parent step. If the inviter's karma drops below a certain threshold, he/she can't invite more people. If it drops lower still, the branch dies and everyone on it gets banned.

This is probably not a great user experience (getting banned because someone above you invited a bunch of spammers), but I think it's conceptually interesting to distribute the anti-spam onus to the users of the community instead of the administration in a form other than 'report spam'.

Uh, and this one they're talking about now.

And it only took nearly 3 years to pull that off...

> There simply is no excuse for ignoring the style guidelines anymore.

Yes there is: the fact that at any point in time you have to follow two or more style guidelines. Let's say I want to make a new app today targeting the new UI look and feel Google has just released. Since only a tiny fraction of Android devices are going to be running that latest version I need to target the current UI look and feel and the previous one. Bits and pieces can be bridged with the compatibility library but now that means you're saddled with programming against the compatibility library for several years. Every UI refresh brings along with it extra technical debt that developers are burdened with -- even small ones like notification bar icon changes (which happened in 2.2 -> 2.3). Take a look at last year's Google I/O app. This is the asset management required to create a "best of breed" Android app that targets as many devices as possible:

https://github.com/google/iosched/tree/master/android/src/ma...

Ho-lee shit, what a nightmare. Can you blame developers for being lazy? It's hard enough just knowing what's expected of you to make an application that can a) run on a majority of devices, b) look good on said devices, and c) make use of new APIs.
Mixing them both together would be nasty (components are central to both APIs, it'd be counterintuitive), but using React as a fallback layer doesn't sounds so bad
What a mess. The current real estate "system" in SF isn't serving anybody well.
Man, it's a comment section. They're always ruled by crazies, no matter what the topic.
I probably will end up building the bare minimum to meet my needs and moving on tbh.

It was basically a monitoring/metrics system to merge how I handle the monitoring of crons, work queue, system metrics, analytics, etc. into a single service. Right now, I'm stuck using 3.

Sure, I could just build something to merge it together ... but at that point, I'm halfway to building my own.
