Atlantic Records wants to subpoena Reddit for "all and any other Reddit accounts which accessed [Reddit’s] service from the same IP address on or about June 15, 2016." That's an unreasonably broad scope and an infringement of

Another Bloomberg View article without a coherent point. It jumps around from an empty hot take on the Yahoo acquisition to pointing and laughing at the USPS. By the last section, it has degraded into an incoherent mass of linkspam to Buzzf

If you're only sending a small amount of desirable transactional email, you're the perfect model of a good sender and your blacklist risk will be vanishingly low. Sending from a shared IP will still expose you to the behavior of t

The intent of the ordinance is also "to prohibit nuclear reactors." [1] No person shall operate or build a nuclear reactor the City of Berkeley, and that would probably include this project. That's not to say I agree with it.

Agreed. Read the reports from the investiation: Benghazi and the emails are the new Swiftboat [1], and it's particularly telling that they don't have anything better to talk about. Move along. [1] https://en.wikipedia.o

The rationale seems to be that shared IPs are cheaper for them (and the customer). It's also possible that Postmark doesn't have the capacity to operate a large number of dedicated IPs for individual customers. Any large-scale sen

For a nice compromise - much cheaper per-mail costs with a WYSIWYG editor, give SendGrid a shot. I'd say we occupy the middle ground between the historically marketing-focused MailChimp and the no-frills (not very marketer friendly) Am

It's important to remember that this was never a first-choice treatment for seizures. VNS was only viewed as a worthwhile course to pursue after trying an exhaustive list of drugs. From an FDA hearing on VNS: "there were patients

The EMTALA was a policy decision we made through our representatives (it doesn't have anything to do with the Hippocratic Oath). For the same reasons the EMTALA passed, we should be killing sit/lie bills - and hostile designs like

That's not an apt analogy. Camden benches, sit/lie ordinances, etc. make the condition of being homeless worse. If public hospitals suddenly decided to turn away emergency room patients who don't have coverage, I would absolu

Depends on the company, but at SendGrid it's standard practice in the code review stage to wait for Looks Good To Me - no more changes needed - before merging. Much like this submission, our continuous integration system (opsbot) doesn

I agree. Work/life balance is absolutely part of the problem - just like maternity leave and other work environment factors. All of this leads to attrition and a chilling effect on sourcing. But we should still be solving for bias at t

20% is (coincidentally) the percentage of CS degrees awarded to women. They get only 10% of entry-level software jobs. We don't get to blame supply until those numbers match.
