The documentation even states: > This option is never essential, since psql will automatically prompt for a password if the server demands password authentication. However, psql will waste a connection attempt finding out that the server

Interesting thought. But with the current rate at which we are becoming more and more concerned about our privacy, maybe we won't be in a situation where a site like Facebook can actually 'publish' the diaries. So possibly th

IP addresses are really insignificant in spam detection because spammers can easily switch to a new IP address. Like with Google's search algorithm, the spam detection algorithms are secret and evolve constantly. So I'm not claimi

Multiple reasons, but here are a few of them: - Email is hard to get right. There are many subtle configuration mistakes you can make, and it's pretty hard to detect those mistakes (hence one of the reasons why I started Mailhardener)

I know it's going to be an unpopular opinion in this thread, but my opinion is that email is one of the things that most businesses shouldn't run themselves.

If you run a company with 1000 employees, that just $100 per seat, that's not that bad. Telephony is usually quite a lot more expensive than that.

Google probably stores the selectors for a domain when it processes email from that domain.

I run a mail monitoring service [0], and we hear this complaint every now and then. A couple of things that regularly seems to trigger false positives in spam algorithms: - no or misconfigured SPF and/or DKIM - no or misconfigured reve

I see a lot of concerns here about the obvious security and privacy issues that a database like this would create. I share those concerns, but there is one other issue that I don't see mentioned here. These sorts of government IT proje

As you grow older your time becomes more valuable. But I think the author should take a break from reading sites such as HN, IH, etc. Because in this crowd, everybody seems to be obsessed with having a successful side-business making hundre

Only a very, very small selection of cars support this. As it stands now, the documentation is very much misleading as Smartcar makes it sound as if you can use this on any vehicle. Look again at sahaskatta's response, he/she made

You will need additional hardware in the car to achieve this. Smartcar just does a really thorough job of hiding this fact. AFAIK the is not a single car manufacturer (not even Tesla) that has any API available. Most cars don't have in

Mostly board repairs, but also wiring on the cars itself. Like I said, I mostly work on older cars, since those are the ones where it makes economic sense to do this kind of repairs. Those cars are usually from the era where ECU's had

Depending on the country you are in, it shouldn't be that hard to become a certified electrician. Granted, I have a degree in electrical engineering, but certification was not part of that degree. I got the certification at a night sch

I do electronics repair for cars. For many older and rare cars it's usually no longer possible (or desired) to replace broken electronic components such as the engine or transmission controller. So owners contact me to have the part re

I highly doubt asteroid mining would ever be profitable. The cost of getting bulk goods from space down to earth are astronomical (ha!). Also, if you were to flood the market with any material you mined, prices would go down.

X1 Extreme is a better choice imo, up to 64G (replaceable), 2 m.2 slots, a GTX1050 for casual gaming or ML and a 4K display. I have one on order. There is also the P1, which comes with a Xeon (!) option and Quadro P1000 graphics. The market

There can be many reasons they took the devices with them after filming. The explanation can be as simple as Samsung UK not having enough samples for all the journalists in London.

I don't agree on this one. The whole point of the ACME protocol is that it allows for automated certificate management. Thus, it shouldn't matter if you manage 1 of 10000 subdomains, because you should automate it anyway. Also, if
