very funny, right after I saw this, I decided to check my spam folder just to see if anything important has been filtered out, and I saw an email sent by google marked as a spam:

this email is sent by google when logging in google account from a new machine. they tag their own email as spam ...

It's not really discrimination, since nobody is excluded here. If you weren't into sports, would you complain about ESPN excluding non-sports-watchers?

But in answer to your implied question "Why do you need a space/channel/site of your own?", the answer is that the larger space (France) is already white by default. Whites don't really need their own space, because they're the dominant majority, and media is generally made with them in mind already. So, if minorities don't carve out their own spaces, they will live entirely in a culture that doesn't represent them.

My fiance is half-black, and she's not that into TV/movies. I once asked her why, and she said that after a while, she just got tired of rarely seeing people like herself on-screen.
>>That's called a gross margin and it's incredibly low.

I've wondered this about every single XX-as-a-service startup. I've heard Uber is 20%, but the overhead to manage a ride-sharing service that is doing tens of thousands of dollars a day in a medium-sized city is significantly less than what is required for other XX-as-a-service startups. The only other sector I can think of where the economics even come remotely close is food delivery. All other sectors - cleaning, home repair, lawn care, painting, etc - require significantly higher marketing spend/customer for a much lower volume of transaction. In addition, as discussed here, the overhead required to ensure quality and customer satisfaction is much higher as well.
But if he needs 20Gb.. he needs 20Gb all the time. You can't just slap two 10Gb cards and call it "20Gb redundant"

You either need two 20Gb+ cards, or three 10Gb cards.
Thanks for pointing me to that. I had no idea that stuff existed!
Thanks. Can a mod please change the link?
Football in a Time of War: The Strange Story of the Steagles
yeah, things would be way better if everybody just used gmail!
I agree completely. Wasn't there a thread here a just few days ago discussing Gmail consistently marking personal mail servers as spam?

EDIT: Found it. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9855030
Funny, I used to get a ton of false positives in my gmail Spam folder (mailing lists, marketing I subscribed to, forwards from another address) but with the recent changes, I have just 1 false positive of 476 in Spam.
OpenSSH keyboard-interactive authentication brute force vulnerability
I had a similar issue at some point, where for a month or two, quite obvious "not spam" emails were getting caught in the filter. Nobody else on the internet seemed to be having the issue, and then it suddenly one day stopped happening again. I rarely mark emails as spam/not spam, so I don't think it was anything I did.
> That some parts of some systems can be implemented in memory-managed languages is a very old thing, and it doesn't protect them from exploits.

This is misleading. On the face of it, what you say here is true: there are security vulnerabilities in software written in memory-safe languages. However, what is not true is that there are nearly as memory memory safety-related vulnerabilities in software written in memory safe languages. The conclusion that memory safety doesn't make software more secure would only follow from that premise, which seems empirically false to me.
What type of phone do you use? If it's an Android phone and not a Nokia 3210 I would suggest that you examine whether you actually value just working at the expense of lots of new features.
Been having similar issues as of late. A few very important emails got classified as spam; not nearly 20%, but still enough to compromise my confidence in the system.
Relatively little. Gmail's filtering system just seems to be increasingly erratic, so one Meetup group email ends up in the Spam filter whilst another appears with high importance. If anything, the problem appears to be the opposite: de-emphasising the sending organisation.
Just one nitpick, Arnold supports the same BSSRDF profiles and has been used for realistic skin rendering in movies. The gaussian profile is actually suitable for rendering realistic skin, by using a combination of multiple gaussians you can very accurately match measured human skin profiles.

>A 40GbE switch is < $250/port.

Huh? Show me a 40Gbe switch for that much per port. The cheapest I see is around $500 per port, plus you need the cabling which can be from $200-$300. Though I agree, I'd rather pay more for the more reliable speed.

Oh, so because you feel the government is stealing your money you are OK with stealing the product of someone else's work to get back at the government?

Meanwhile, aren't you choosing to keep living in the UK or EU. Why don't you move to Monaco or some other low-tax jurisdiction?
Yeah, its part of why I gave up on running my own mail server and signed up for Google Apps back when it was free. Its just not worth fighting the spam filters for side projects.

It was probably something along the lines of "Well consumers are what matters and they all use major services".
If anyone is interested in learning more about contemporary Indigenous issues in Canada (from a "Canadian" point of view) I can recommend a few good places to start:

I'd recommend reading both of John Ralston Saul's books on the subject: "A Fair Country"[1], and "The Comeback"[2].

A couple weeks ago I posted "Title Fight"[3] by Arno Kopecky, which is a fascinating read, and an excellent intro to "Aboriginal Title Land".

Maclean's Magazine also published a great article on Canada's deep/pervasive "Race Problem", I'd recommend reading this first.[4]

Best bet: Get a better offer somewhere else and use it as leverage.

Other things: Get them to pay some of the expenses you would be paying for after taxes (like commuting, parking, phone, internet, etc). For each $100 of expenses, it's like earning an extra $150.

But, isn't the lifetime of the battery pack significantly lower than the (presumed) lifetime of the actual car? If your Model S stays on the road 20 years but requires 3-4 battery replacements, that's several big hits against its environmental friendliness.

Though not terribly efficient, we could certainly use thermoelectric generators like Peltier junctions to pull energy out of the waste heat in car exhaust. On the plus side they are cheap and have no moving parts (and they're not even radioactive).
> Can they be substantially penalized for failing to honor contract terms, potentially beyond merely returning any unused leftovers of what they received in exchange for their promises? Yes.

That's what I'm interested in. What could these consequences be?
This is one of the reasons I use Google Apps for Business for email (that and I find running mail servers tedious) as deliverability is consistently simpler.
I would argue that this difficulty is not more fundamental than difficulty of producing light bulbs by Edison.

The thing I do not want to normalize w field by its difficulty - then progress would be just related to the effective number of smart people working on it.

I was raised in a scientific culture (Central/Eastern Europe), where difficulty was a virtue, not - impact. But that way produces a --lot-- small number (because they are difficult!) of difficult results, with little impact.

Likewise, the most progress happens where there are low-hanging fruits.
You do understand that race and physical location are different things, right?
To have a black James Bond, we need to have a better representation of what is black.

Blaxploitation (yet I would love to have this movie in Afrostream) was positive in a sens that it gives positive heroes who are black and it's very important to me that Black people think they could be what they want to be.

By the way, I dreamed to be Shaft when I was younger.

But let's face it, We don't have a lot of movies like that anymore, or they are not internationally distributed.

That's the question we want to solve with Afrostream.

And, again, African Culture does not exist.
It is interesting to see that a new company is employing 200 persons and hiring at a rate of 10 per week.

In my opinion, this has been carefully planned long ago.
At least their filters are as impartial as they're inaccurate and overly aggressive...
Impressive. Would you mind explaining how you collect the data?
The article's title breaks the HN guidelines (et tu, CJR?), so we changed it to a representative sentence from the article. Happy to change it again if anyone suggests better.

Assuming non-gmail servers are spammers is a pretty epic fail.

> It will have 15 percent higher specific energy than a Tesla Model S 85 kW-hr pack. That works out to 98 kW-hr.

Except that their ship date is 2 years out (best case, since it's really aggressive!). That gives Tesla a pretty good window to improve their own battery packs. This isn't a market you can win by getting a 10% improvement on battery life / range -- there's a lot more nuance than that. I hope they have other value propositions in mind...?
I work for an analytics company that doesn't share data with third parties and doesn't use any questionable persistence techniques (we set a domain cookie, that's it), and I can say that unsanctioned tracking hurts everyone.

We get lumped in with super questionable networks in tools like Adblock and Ghostery and I have to explain to people when I tell them that I work in analytics that we aren't evil because the default assumption is more and more becoming that analytics and ads are all doing shady things. That sucks. I wish there was a way to combat unsanctioned tracking without diminishing the value that legitimate, and user controlled, tracking and attribution tools provide.

As long as people are willing to do anything to squeeze out more money or beat their competition, questionable techniques will find their way into the market, and that's bad for us all :(
The hilarious -- or maybe really sickening -- thing is that Gmail itself has also become a much larger source of spam than it used to be.

Those of us that are running mail servers are really not loving Google at the moment.
Windows 10 has a metered internet connection option, I've not messed with it, but it may deal with this in one way or another.

No, they do not. Otherwise we'd have three dozen New Horizons-class spacecraft flying throughout the solar system and Kuiper Belt by now.

Right now, there's a sizable contingent of people who are looking at the Pluto imagery and muttering to themselves, "So what? How does this affect the Kardashians?" Some of those people -- not all of them, but enough of them -- vote. All of this self-congratulatory stroking on our part just empowers them.

I use DKIM and have Reverse DNS + SPF and gmail likes my email just fine.

However, previous to setting all that up gmail would commonly mark my messages as spam. I haven't tested it in the last few days.
The entire automotive industry sees automobiles as upgradeable, it's called the "aftermarket". Conventional automobiles can be tuned and upgraded and have been for generations, except, us non Tesla owners can do it without the manufacturers say so. With Tesla you are forced to buy your upgrades from them, this is less flexible IMO.

It's not the fault of people in the arts that you don't enjoy your job. Also, creative work is still work. Writing a novel typically takes months of work, for example. I think it's quite reasonable to set a price and collect some money from people who want to read it.

I don't understand this attitude that someone else should provide you with free entertainment just because you chose a career that you don't find fulfilling. What is it that you want to be/do that you can't now?
What about using it as one of many criteria (maybe whether the email seems to contain gibberish being another, which patch files might be classified as).
"among other basic questions"...

If this stuff is being given as if it's worth something, you need to know what that value is!

And it's no good asking the people offering it you. Of course they'll tell you it's worth a lot! Whether they believe it or not - something about which I am genuinely agnostic - for every cynical, reptile-eyed psychopath, there's somebody who's downed a yard of koolaid - it's in their interest to emphasise the potential value of non-hard-currency compensation, because it's cheaper to pay you that way than it is to find the (supposed) equivalent in actual money.
On portability of init systems (2014)
All this information should be able to be modelled into a distribution curve of likely returns. It should be possible for the company to model the likely returns and provide this as a nice probability curve of the value. This would allow new employees to know the value of what they have been offered without the company having to reveal all the details of everything.

It might be a nice little lifestyle business to offer a service/software where the founders enter in all their financial data and possible outcomes and it spits out a nice simple curve of the current valuation. It might be of value to the founders too :)
I guess we'll just go back to manually making filters.

Note that Kara Swisher (executive editor of Re/Code) was married to Megan Smith [1]. Megan is now CTO of the United States, but previously was at Google for over a decade and a VP at Google X.

It's not unreasonable that Kara, and by extension her team, would therefore have made a number of high-level contacts inside Google.

That said, if they are speaking to sources then they should reference them (even if anonymously.) Otherwise, as you noted, we can only consider it an opinion piece masquerading as journalism.

Having to use a Google product instead of your own mail server, in order to have your email delivered to Google customers, sounds like anti-competitive business practices to me. You'd think they'd be a wee bit more careful with something like that given EU interest in them...
>Lots of business research says this is not true, and in fact, the opposite.

I just named an example that makes very obvious sense to a bunch of people even without evidence (though I'm sure Cayenne sale numbers would back it if I had to). You allude to "a lot of research" claiming the opposite. Care to share said research?

Your example of VW being popular is an example of absolute market position and is entirely irrelevant to debate as to whether its easier to move from the low end of the market t the top or vice versa.
I'd assume cybojanek is talking about majordomo-like mailing lists, the sort used by lots of open source projects, which typically require an email sent to a specific address with "unsubscribe" in the subject line and so on and so forth.
I can't help noticing that most of the arguments against paying for creative works seem to be rooted in grumpy Marxism.
I'm pretty sure he means that he doesn't want anything that has both an infotainment system and a steering wheel...in other words, he doesn't want an entertainment system in a car.
We've been seeing a huge number of messages sent through Google Groups via our Google Apps domain flagged as spam. I'm not sure what has triggered it lately, but it's almost impossible for us to communicate through our Google Groups email addresses anymore.
I also run like this and have had no problems. I don't commonly send emails though (mainly receive) so it is possible that I just haven't sent enough to see the issues.
It appears we are in agreement. The only reason I can think of for them doing this is maybe they want to keep the PhotoDNA stuff private? Imagine the overhead on their end as well. The best way might be downloading the hashes to each server and comparing them like a virus scanner.
I can't work out what it is you're trying to say, sorry.
You can set up a filter to never mark the matching items a spam.

That's what I do for the Lua Mailing list.
Yes we are !

We knew better the sub-saharan countries for instance, so our network and focus is to go there first. We have a lot of work to have the best catalog from there first, and then we could extend.
Well, as he said, some emails on the middle of threads were marked as Spam

Funny thing that happened to me, a mail from Google was marked as Spam. This was a long time ago, and it was from a mailing list, but apart from that, it was a legitimate mail.

>I'd feel like an asshole asking some poor stranger to scrub my toilet.

The service we use is owned by a very nice lady who also shows up to clean. She has an assistant and a couple of additional employees who clean other houses for her. To my mind, she is simply a fellow business owner who provides a service for a price. I hope that she is taking good care of her employees as well and, for our part, we tip to show our appreciation.

I'm kind of surprised that Linus uses Gmail.

@jacquesm's http://jacquesmattheij.com/ham-or-spam-gmail-not-to-be-trust... is another recent instance — but again, there's no call to action.

Gmail is great for some people, but I prefer having more control, and I highly recommend https://FastMail.com if Gmail is failing to meet your needs.
There is a ton of analysis in this post about what went wrong. As someone who runs a service marketplace business, I know how hard it is scale this type of business (scaling quality, managing a remote workforce, supply churn, repeat usage and all the other things...). The founders had worked long and hard to succeed (knowing them first hand). They also happen to be incredibly nice people - always willing to help others. All the best to Adora & Aaron. I look forward to seeing what you launch next!

It is actually possible that the suspension was affected by the update. It wouldn't be the first time that the suspension's behavior has been tweaked by a software update to the Model S.
Of course African culture exists, it's the culture of the African continent and its diaspora, which is widespread, rich, and diverse. What does the "Afro" in "Afrostream" stand for if it isn't African culture? And of course there are subcultures. It's the same situation with (East) Asian culture.
It isn't. I have no problem with anyone ripping stuff they paid for.

Ripping it and then shoring it with others who download it for free is copyright infringement. A percentage of people do that, and the court is saying that the government has an obligation to deal with that.

Is this article actually serious? I can't help but think it is satirical.
DAC is an order of magnitude cheaper than optical and might be fine for their use based on their comments of cat6 v cat6a and "short runs in their lab".

Also, if they are using two or three NICs per box, you'd need to factor in the cost of two / three of the X540's vs. a single 40gbe connection and you'd need to double the cost-per-port of the switch vs the 40gbe option.
Lets make a deal, if you don't know linear algebra please don't call yourself a data scientist.
It's what happens when you can control such a large portion of a resource. Just imagine, Google can at any moment blacklist just about anyone. Most websites and companies they can do nothing to stop it.
