The legacy compatibility of the protocol has brought all the hacks on top of it for identity verification like SPF, DMARC, DKIM ... Even with those, the amount of farmed accounts from a reputable platforms is still high, and it will go high

A classic "the tragedy of the commons" with the SMTP protocol. When the cost of spamming is near 0.00, all open platforms will be abused to the tilt. We have seen the email channel get less and less reliable with our own clients (

They have a working operational system and battle tested tactics, not only procurement. It's not the rifle that distinguishes the special forces, but how it's used. They built a network centric warefare with starlink and cheap and

How is capitalism in the wrong here? Resource warfare is universal trough the history in any society. The check and balances of the US President that can start an offensive war is more a political problem, not "capitalism" problem

Tu-144 was built because of concorde, but it wasnt' a copy. It was reimplementation of a shared idea. It's not like Tu-4 and B-29, which was a copy.

you can't cheat the supply/demand of atoms with social constructs. You might be able to change the way the pie is sliced, but not grow it that way. Productivity is something in the realm of the real world not just philosophical ca

You can definitely invest trough a holding company set up in Ireland or in other lower tax jurisdiction and pay less tax that way. Even if you invest in a Croatian startup you can wrap in a UK structure to have the British courts available

Not really. You have 1000 packages per day (your market share). You need 100 horses each making 10 deliveries or 20 cars each doing 50 deliveries. So 80 horse riders are out. You can't scale linearly, market is not supply bound usually

It's not the capitalism fault. It's the limitation of the physical world. You barter your skills for other's products/services. More people in the tribe = more people to swap with (larger market). More people who take t

With NZ cost of living if you factor in higher labor costs it will make everything even more expensive relative to income. Cheap temporary labor is great not only for the companies, it's good for the consumers too, bringing prices down

It's mostly a no-brainer. Cost of living is higher than AU and wages are lower. Across the Tasman sea the market is 5 times bigger with real earning power around +30%. (but the weather is much more hot and from Brisbane up to the south

LG DualUp monitor is a great monitor for developers. Vertical and wide enough to show all the toolbars and the code. Sadly they were not produced since 2024, but they are very good. BTW, if someone is selling, I'm buying to have more s

When they force developers to upgrade the SDK some of the apps will stop working and you'd be forced to upgrade. I've been holding out as you do for as long as I can but in 1-2 years the apps just stop working (some of them).

Read Milton Friedman on why this won't work. If you have seen any government run organization you'll see why. Taxes can be levied on productive businesses that are in ruthless competition in the free and international market. No p

Really? Where will these resources will came from if the capitalist system is the most productive of them all? You can't redistribute something out of nothing. You need a healthy tax base to redistribute. Childcare is just too regulate

In every system from hunter-gather society, feudalism, socialism and capitalism you need to exchange your work for the products of the work of other people. No system will give you the ability to not work and get what you want. The capitali

Well try to listen to a group theory lecture (for example on cohomology of groups) while doing chores :) But the lecture was indeed useful if you stop and rewind and see how the lecturer was explaining (there were some interesting graphs).

For serious lectures (not story telling like history or other humanities) you can't be doing anything on the side if you want to understand. Try listening to a math lecture, or chemistry lecture while doing dishes :) I found the same t
