I believe this is part of the AWS's explicit policy, possibly also in the terms of service: https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/data-privacy-faq/ It would be crazy suicidal for their cloud business to break it,

Oh cool, my project is on HackerNews! I was wondering about the sudden uptick in user signups, and then I checked HN... I'm Scott, feel free to ask me anything about the service.

Wait, they only made this attack 2000 times harder? That was the whole fix?

If they curated like that, esp with employees, they'd open themselves to an infinite number of lawsuits.

I've been using a reactive websockets over HTML in Kotlin implementation that I wrote myself, and it's been the least unpleasant web development experience I've ever had. There really is a huge advantage when you don't h

Average user here. Not really interested in jumping through hoops to get addons that seem like they were arbitrarily taken from me. The mobile rewrite shouldn't've been released until it was actually ready, because average users _

Keep in mind that how strict the speed limits are seems to vary significantly by local laws and driving culture. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_limits_in_the_United_Sta... So what might be unacceptable "speed

Wouldn't DKIM verification require having the public key of Gmail from 2014 on hand? I looked up some old 2014 era emails I got from gmail and it looks like they were using the "20120113" selector at the time, which is no lon

Funny enough, a lot of the complaints I heard were about how Android has made their slightly older phones unusable, taking up a lot more storage space while delivering no perceived benefits.

My friends accepted that Google Maps adding eg useful info about stores was a useful improvement. I guess we'l see if it gets ruined in the future.

I live in Benicia and I think the alternate plan is slightly disingenuous in removing Vallejo as a consideration for the Benicia stop. Much of Vallejo is only 20 minutes away from the rail line.

Hmm, wikipedia (and the ASN used as source) seems to describe this incident a bit differently. I didn't see anything about core temperature rising uncontrollably, it's slightly inaccurate to say that control of the rods themselves

Thank you for this comment. As someone who played a bit with GPT, it was very poignant for me. I still think it's incredible that GPT can put up such convincing facades, that it can generate genuinely novel and interesting text... but

It sounds like Amazon is adding quite a surcharge onto their SMS, then. https://aws.amazon.com/sns/sms-pricing/

by Felz 6y ago
You might not realize just how expensive SMSes can be. Based on AWS SMS pricing, they cost 6/10ths of a cent to US destinations each, so each deal sent to 90,000 people in the article would cost twitter $540. That's not even getti

Sure. I'll add that in to the company policy documentation I'm going to draw up. (Or put it in the TOS itself?)

I do try to answer questions on HN. It's a little hard to keep track of threads over time, though. (Am I missing something?) Anyway, good luck getting away from gmail!

I wrote a blog post on this a while back: https://news.purelymail.com/posts/blog/2019-06-21-deliverabi... Unfortunately there aren't any easy answers. You'll have to be persistent.

Could. I'll see about locking one down.

Cool! I'll take a look.

No offense taken! I think you're broadly right that I could be doing a better job on reassuring messaging, and I'll put that on my work queue. I also hope to solve any bus factor problems before leaving beta. Right now if I were s

Hi! I am the "Scott" from Purelymail in question. In the hopefully unlikely event I'm hit by a bus, I do have friends who could step in to keep it running for a while. One of my infrastructural goals is also to have it run it

When I worked there a few years back, the spin was that it'd be letting the lawyers themselves get more done, by automating or easing rote but necessary tasks like reviewing company documents &etc. I think the story around what par

Last I heard part of the idea behind the lawyering was that it'd give valuable in-house experience to develop the tools. What changed there? Did they get a big contract with Orrick to replace the in-house lawyers?

What's interesting is that it specifically looks like pre 1.4.0 Roundcube with the Larry skin, and not the shinier Elastic skin.

It probably wouldn't take a billion years. The last common ancestor of humans and orcas seems to have been about 95 million years ago. For reference, a billion years ago, there were no animals or plants yet. Given that, maybe there are

To be clear, the previous owners of .org didn't actually do the technical parts of running their TLD, they subcontracted it out: https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/bi6gg5/help_ke...

Given that they're selected for being the very best returns, it's probably a decent (but not completely exceptional) combination of every factor- skill, luck, laundering, connections, etc. https://www.lesswrong.com&#x2F
