No, Gmail directly sends the email from their own SMTP servers (you have to set up SPF to allow them etc)

Do you see a referral link or code in their comment? No? Then obviously they aren't making money off it.

Pretty crazy to be focused on anything other than your immediate family in after a birth... but not exactly unprecedented when you look at social media posts!

> ChatGPT recommends bidding somewhere around by £2 per click, but I bid between £0.15 and £0.07 and was still able to get traffic

Did they try bidding more? It's possible they are just only getting the dregs. (In which case the ads would be expensive instead of garbage)

Some reasons to forage (applies to berries, nuts, fruits, not just mushrooms):

* Foraging is very satisfying to do

* Foraging allows you to participate in your cultural practices (although sadly many people in the US are long-cut off from such cultural knowledge)

* You can get fresher food foraging

* There absolutely are interesting varieties that aren't sold because they are hard to farm/transport/store etc.

* Foraged food is free

> Such behavior could require dark matter to be more complicated than just a single new type of particle. For example, the dark matter particle might have some internal structure, like an ordinary atom, so it would only interact if hit hard enough to excite it to a higher energy internal state

I get a little shiver imagining that the dark matter might be something like ordinary atoms. Imagine that other 85% of the universe could have its own parallel atomic table, chemistry, even some kind of life utterly alien to us?

The goal of C2PA is that cameras will start to emit C2PA credentials. You will then have 3 situations:

* C2PA confirms a photo is authentic

* C2PA confirms a photo is AI generated

* C2PA missing, you don't know.

I reckon we will only see "C2PA missing" being treated as suspect in select situations (perhaps Reuters will require C2PA from their photojournalists, for example)

I think the article meant "ineffective" as in "it didn't save her life", not "it didn't do anything".

A lot of expertise is actually knowing things about the domain. You can't make a good judgement call on a topic without getting relevant knowledge in your head to make that decision. You can't even lookup the relevant knowledge without knowing what knowledge is important to make the decision, so reference material is not enough.

I had this same reaction to past step counters. I keep my phone in my pocket, and it works basically perfectly as a step counter.

But then I realized that many people do not keep their phone in their pocket, especially women. For them, a watch, bracelet or ring really is the best option.

Thats basically all journalism

Don't be obtuse. He was saying 4x the cost of the tires.

The article seems to contradict this:

> Reducing the rolling resistance of a tire isn’t technically that difficult, said Fadie. Incorporating more silica, for example, improves not only efficiency but traction as well. Rubber chemistry and tread designs can also lead to gains

and the quoted opposition never mentions this fact either, which you'd think they would.

It's bad that cities and states can't get a firm grip on this kind of stuff.

But this is a transparency success story. The wages were reported on. The press published a story about it. They were able to get "overtime worked forms" records from OPD. In many other places (including may places in the US) you would never find out about this.

I would be pretty surprised if Amazon insures their package delivery. Do you have a source for them using insurance?

Maybe when they use a 3rd party delivery service they can strongarm that service into eating the loss. But, where I am, Amazon is usually doing 1st party delivery.

(the reason I assume they don't is that a) they are big enough to eat any loss and b) losses happen at a pretty constant rate. So they would basically be paying an insurer $loss_amount * (1+insurer_margin) in premiums to immediately get payed back $loss_amount. not a great deal.)

Eeh, you always rely on someone else's infrastructure. Even if you are off cloud entirely and own your own datacenter, you still need peering/transit. You still need power (or at least fuel). You can't avoid depending on a DNS infrastructure.

Github does have an SLA: https://github.com/customer-terms/github-online-services-sla. But like virtually all SLAs, it's really just a token gesture. I have never seen an SLA that pays the losses you suffer due to the outage.

My guess is growth alone explains the change. It went from being a niche site that had views representing that niche to a broad site with broad set of views represented in proportion to their prevelance.

I think the hyper business oriented, technology first view that is what HN typically has been is actually the exception.

Open Source, hacker culture, scorn of "the suits", the love of sci-fi and it's attendant politics -- the bulk of actual technical people have a long history of being very politically aware and deliberately eschewing money for their values. It was rarely Marxist Class-Conciousness type stuff, but it certainly was aware of the political environment we were in.

If I'm running, say, an e-commerce business, an hour of downtime on my serving-path might cost me $100k of revenue. An hour of downtime for my development stack might cost me 30 person-hours = a few grand. As a result, I'm much more willing to have unreliable github than unreliable CDN/Compute/etc.

It's not a specially blessed type. As the article says, anything that implements sync.Locker acts like this.

> Really, the moral here is that you should not use JPEG for icons and the like

And, more importantly, you should use images that are an appropriate resolution for the size they will be displayed. Even if you switch to PNG, using a 2000x2000 image for a icon displayed 20x20 is a waste.

If the drop in weight was accompanied by a drop in price I think the health angle would stick better.

Right... label them differently. Now you're just arguing what the label should be

Axon is a public company with market cap of $50B. It is an incumbent with a huge business in bodycams and tasers with a huge number of US police departments. Flock has a $7.5B valuation at it's last funding round, and is the new comer.

More likely for Axon to acquire flock than the other way around.

Yeah HA isn't the best choice. It can do some of that stuff, but will require lots of customization to do so. Plus I think you would find things it can't do at all.

Home Assistant [1] can be a voice assistant (both on phone and on dedicated devices). It's FOSS and can be fully local [2]. It's really gear towards home automation though, so its suitability depends on what you want to do with an assistant

There's no such thing as legal ownership of data. There's IP rights, contracts and innumerable data regulation laws, but not actual ownership. "Ownership" here just provides a vague cover that sounds like something definite but is not.

Open to all people, not open to all roads.
