I send a LOT of emails each month (email newsletter business - yes, legit!) and ran into an separate but topically related and amusing problem recently.

My newsletters are aimed at developers, and one issue went out and was considered by Gmail to be a 'phishing' attempt. I couldn't figure it out. Several issues later, another one was picked up the same way and I figured it out.. In both issues, one of the items was linking to domains that looked a bit like this "www.0x10abcdef.com" (this is NOT the actual domain) - basically a domain that looked like a hexadecimal number. I ran numerous tests and Gmail always considered mails with links to domains like this to be phishing attempts.

I reported this as a bug (since nothing was wrong or reported with the domains in question, it was basically Gmail's filter being in error) but no idea if it was ever resolved.
Seems like author hasn't done enough troubleshooting and has jumped to a conclusion. My recommendation is to run through google's troubleshooting steps on the issue:

Also make sure a DMARC record is setup.
Because you can't use .NET CoreCLR as it is on Android. You will need to modify it in order to be able to compile it for Android. Here is a discussion about an attempt to modify .NET CoreCLR in order to be able to compile it for Android https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/issues/1097

On iOS the situation is even worse you will need to have an AOT compiler for C# in order to be able to ship iOS apps in the Apple Store.

You are making a confusion here. Unity doesn't use Xamarin at all, they have an old license (like really old, since before Xamarin even existed) for Mono for iOS and Android.
One the way to reading about something else, I read an essay by a language developer complaining about type erasure. In functional languages.

In short, when you get to the point in implementing a language where you can do type erasure, you're golden because it usually means you have things nailed down. Unfortunately then people actually implement type erasure and now there is no way to link data structures in memory with a piece of code at run time.

Or at least very easily.

As an example C/C++ does erase type information. There often being nothing that tells you what an object in memory is. But compilers take great pains to preserve that information in the generated output formats. Which allow you to write debuggers. I'm sure languages like Java and .net do the same.
Check the IP against the spam blacklists: http://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx

You might have to spin up a bunch of servers to find one which doesn't have a blacklisted IP. Then you have to build the IP's "reputation" with the various providers before you can send a significant amount of email through it.
Tilt Has Raised Around $30M at a $400M Valuation
We like to think of what we're doing as Lean Publishing (self-published in-progress ebooks), not vanity publishing. We only earn money if the author does, unlike most of the scum that prey on authors who wish to self-publish and spend thousands of dollars to get a box of books that sit in their basement.

The Leanpub workflow is totally free to use, and we're making it better all the time.

Now, frankly, I'm a programming book author myself (I've written 3 programming books) and we have tons of programming books on Leanpub -- but I really wish we had a lot more romance and other "genre" books than we currently do. I even went to Brisbane to speak at GenreCon Australia (http://www.genrecon.com.au/) in 2013 to try to jump-start this, but frankly our usability wasn't there yet. We'll get there.
But CRISPR/Cas9 is not open source. It is proprietary! A half billion year old natural system has been slightly tweaked and is now owned by the discovering groups. It is free for research use and for commercial purposes might still be quite expensive.
I mostly agree with you. But I also think there are non-scammy advantages to using in-app feedback. The primary one is that it could allow for better communication between an unsatisfied user and the app developer. Developers could funnel feedback into a custom ticketing system which could help them actually fix bugs faster than they could using the store’s review system.

FWIW, I don’t know if the feedback system in question actually serves this purpose, so I won’t/can’t defend it specifically.
This also probably works on other cloud providers if they support a virtualization layer that OpenBSD will work with. I've heard of successes here too: https://vultr.com/

YouTube started under much different circumstances. Facebook doesn't really have an excuse.
I suggested no solutions

I did put words in your mouth but the implication of your original comment, that smoking around children be banned in the home, was that there would need to be some sort of policing of this activity. To police an activity in an individuals home we need to impinge on some pretty important freedoms. So we have a choice - a severe nanny state where we address shitty behavior on a case-by-case basis or teach people to be more thoughtful so that we can prevent shitty behavior from the outset.

PS: We used to think beating children was ok so times change even if few people in up in prison.

Sending a parent to jail for beating their child is wise because beating a child imperils the child's life. On the other hand, sending someone's parents to jail for smoking around them will be more damaging than exposure to cigarette smoke. The medicine is worse than the disease. What's more, you assume all people are rational actors which we know is fantasy - just because some people have gone to prison in the past for some random transgression won't be enough to stop another person from doing the same.

Even though this unfortunately isn't the case, jail should only be used to separate violent people from the general population - there are far better methods for dealing with non-violent offenders, chiefly community service or a fine.
Why We're Building the iOS Spotlight Search for Android
Switching from iPhone to Android... the pain

Three years ago I made the switch from an iPhone to an Android. What did I miss the most? The spotlight search! I used the spotlight search so much on iOS, if Apple ever allowed that home screen to change, I would've figured out how to hack their system and make the Spotlight search my home screen. So.... when I excitedly unveiled my Android, everything about it made sense. Everything but the lack of a device search.

Why Google's search bar is dumb

It took me a while to pinpoint exactly why Google's search bar is so useless, but after I spent hours brooding over it, I finally narrowed it down to a couple simple reasons:

1. Simplicity. A search bar is supposed to be ready for text input the second you touch it. Simple, right?

But no! It's too complicated for the all-mighty G to create such a simple thing. They want you to first click the search bar, which then lets you search the web... which leads to my second problem.

2. The Google Now search bar -- it looks just like a Google search bar because, well, it is a Google search bar. Nobody even realizes it actually searches your phone's content until they accidentally scroll past the web results and stumble upon the small button at the bottom that says: search your phone.

Our solution

After waiting two years for Google to fix the problem, I got fed up and decided to do it on my own. We (the WhereDat team) are working to create a search engine for Android that is even better than mighty G's spotlight search. Better and faster. In fact, WhereDat is the fastest search engine for your phone, Period.

My own cousin blackholed my gmail because gmail sends so mych spam. I had to ask him to configure an exception just for me.

It's probably specifically penalizing anything matching /https?:\/\/0/ because you can specify an IP address using hex or octal in most common browsers.

I run a server on Hetzner that sends maybe 100k messages a week, and appears to have no problems with delivery. It doesn't even have SPF or DKIM set up. And I'm pretty sure that if messages were not getting delivered, users would complain. At least that's exactly what happened the one time there was a configuration screwup [1] that made some email providers reject mail from that server.

So I don't know if that theory explains the issue either, though it could be a component.

IP developed when things like the printing press already let us reproduce the content almost infinitely and distribute it anywhere on earth.

It's actually the entire point of IP. Copying it is so easy compared to the creation of the work itself. So we legally restrict it.

>A third: Many creative people are motivated to do great things withhout payment.

Sure, but many aren't. Even more aren't willing to do boring, yet necessary projects. Finally, IP existing doesn't hold back FOSS at all.

Also, not all types of creative work lend itself to FOSS-like material. Many require extensive capital to get working.

None of those features are new - I can get everything on your list with CoffeeScript. For me the advantage of CoffeeScript is that it is less verbose. Main advantage that I see in ES6 is that Transpiling is now widely accepted.
At the end of that, it asks about whether your server passes "the diagnostic tests" -- but I didn't see a link to which tests it was talking about.
The counter I expected and I totally agree with that. They might be shooting themselves in the wallet with this choice. Although, Theo and others have repeatedly said how little companies even try to donate to them. They might have wasted significant amounts of their funds complying with Canadian requirements for little to no gain.

So, I'm not sure which is the best route given the two facts: plenty of opportunity for gain and loss on each end. I'd like to see them at least attempt to get the status then tell a bunch of potential donors it's tax exempt. If money doesn't roll in, drop the status. If it does, keep it. Seems like a worthwhile risk to take.

> A radical idea: Maybe our model of intellectual property is wrong, or outdated.

Honestly, that's not really radical. It seems to be pretty clear to anyone who knows anything about computers. There may be flaws your other thoughts, as other commenters have suggested, but not with the first one.

The big problem -- in the U.S. anyway -- is that there are huge companies with a vested interest in maintaining something like the late-ish 20th century copyright regime. These make campaign contributions to lawmakers, who pass laws in their favor, which allow them to continue making money, which they contribute to lawmakers, etc. It appears to me that little is going to change until that cycle is broken.
I would be surprised (I consider terrestrial random origin to be more likely).

Ribosomes just turn RNA into protein. Don't forget about DNA and RNA polymerase, which are both very interesting as well.

It's really mechanical, but in a way that appeared to happen randomly by evolution, not through design.

I understand the downvotes, but the wonder here with biology that the OP has is well placed. I came into bio from DoD/Physics and am constantly astounded by what nature has made. I mean, it's been ~4 billion years and the generation to generation time is ~20 minutes (~1.1E14 generations total), so I think we all can expect a fair bit from nature, but still, she is really clever.

I do think about this as well. The complexity, the reliability, the ability for nature to do what she does even in the face of all the thermal noise and viruses and enviroment, it really seems like there must be someone making it happen. Alas, no though! As far as we can tell, it's all just evolution and chance on a planet wide stage with microscopic actors. If anything, I think this makes nature even more exciting and awesome (in the true sense of the word). That she did so much with so little is stupefying to me.
Depends on how you look at it. Remember they claimed to need $250,000 (right?) at one point to keep everyone max happy and productive. I doubt they need that much each year. Yet, giving away a significant chunk of $50-100k might be too much of an opportunity cost to them.

Like I said elsewhere, I think they should take the risk and see what happens. They choose against it for now.
Yes, it does. Demand is very different from density. The fact that one region happens to have both high density and high demand is coincidence, not correlation. For it to be a correlation, that would have to be the case in most places. Places like Mountain View, Palo Alto or even Beverly Hills and Malibu also have high demand with a much lower population density.

Also, while it's trite to say, correlation doesn't not mean causation. Being a proxy means a causal relationship, not just a correlation. XKCD was arguing against maps that indicate a causal relationship. Each of the graphs in the comic don't just correlate with population density maps, they're the same because they're visualizing a trait that has no difference based on geography. That's in no way the case in this situation.
But saying that being paid to be creative isn't necessarily [sic] means that you get very little art, if at all.

Humans have always created art. Modern conceptions of intellectual property have not always existed. Why would art depend on that?

Did you watch his video where he explains his views himself? I find it pretty convincing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6A1Lt0kvMA

Interestingly, a lot of people are getting very frustrated with Facebook for other reasons as well. Famously, there's Veritasium's video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVfHeWTKjag

I can really appreciate what they're feeling. With piracy as we have traditionally known it, at least usually the pirate is not directly profiting from his act of piracy. With freebooting, Facebook is literally profiting from other people's work. It's directly diverting money flow from the creator (who REALLY NEED THE MONEY) to Facebook. I think it's plainly ridiculous this is happening, and obviously Facebook will turn a blind eye to it because it's making them money. This is one of the reasons why I encourage whitehat security researchers to turn a little gray when it comes to Facebook and do things to bring them down, it'll be for the greater good to bring the behemoth down.

I know it's a common complaint amongst a certain set to remember some bizarre version of the good old days when software was lean and mean and usable and did all the work our modern software does, but that time literally never existed. What you call bloat, most people either call "usability and features" or simply don't notice at all. The fact that you (apparently) don't like usability and features and prefer to call them bloat doesn't actually give any veracity to your opinions - certainly not enough to make such assertive unsupported statements.
Yeah, a friend had his video taken by a British paper, stripped of its credits, embedded in an article and then uploaded to their YouTube channel. He sent them an invoice for usage but I haven't heard what the outcome was.
FYI: When a video goes "viral", one is quickly contacted by agencies(happened to me). They have standard deals with big media corporations, and handles the licensing. It frees the creator from having to make deals with hundreds of news papers. So, at least some of the big pages that use other's videos have paid to do so.

That is one of the reasons I don't trust app ratings, but I don't think it would get any better even if developers stop redirecting negative comments because people who would ever bother to write a review either have a negative feeling about it, or hired to write a positive review.

That...doesn't make any sense. The author doesn't appear to be spamming or doing any kind of mailing list traffic. He is an individual communicating with other individuals. That's kind of the whole point of this Internet thing we have going here. Besides, he's only being singled out by Google; no other providers seem to have a problem with his domain and Google's own headers show that everything is fine.
It'd be great for a webhost or something where you choose the OS, but I don't think you could run FreeBSD or OpenBSD on top of it.
