Both a domain and an IP can get blacklisted, however it's typically IPs blacklists that you find yourself dealing with if you're sending emails from your webserver(s).

You can sidestep these issues by using something like Mailgun or Sendgrid as your delivery mechanism for server-generated emails (password resets, account registration confirmations, etc). And always set up your SPF records to include these services as permitted senders.

You can use the same services to send marketing emails or there are of course services like MailChimp / Constant Contact / Campaign Monitor / etc that provide all the UIs for marketers. Same thing applies though, you gotta set up SPF records.

That's two events mixed together.

There was an amnesty similar to what you're talking about in 1968 with the Gun Control Act, and it's the only firearms amnesty that's been offered.

The "Firearms Owners Protection Act" of 1986 (why is it that these bills always do the opposite of their title) did not have amnesty provisions. The big thing it did was ban civilian ownership of fully automatic firearms with specific exceptions where stringent requirements are met.

I'm going to do the math below, but your employer very likely isn't billing highly enough.

Most employees top out billing 80% of time, so 32 hours. Assuming that, you're generating $5280 / week or $21,120 / month. Agencies need to be shooting to bill 3x of _actual_ hourly employee cost (this is target and I can elucidate if people are curious). Therefore your cost needs to be $7040 a month. 20% of your cost is wrapped up in health benefits, vacation time, and other perqs, so your hourly wage will be determined by that figure. Less the cost of perqs your hourly cost will need to be $5632 / month, or $35.20 per hour. That's a salary of about $70,400 per year assuming a 2000 hour year.

I've got a similar situation with a web app millions use, but a couple corner office people use IE11. We were able use an IE only CSS selectors to degrade; in theory you could do the same without compromising the layout for other users.

Off-topic but related: https://scottscheapflights.com is _amazing_. The Premium sub is worth every penny...my wife and I will be doing a ton more overseas travel in 2019 purely because of the deals this site finds.

"But privately owned gasoline-guzzlers are an archaic solution to the transportation problem, and they are not effective in today's society."

Don't assume that every place is like the place you know. Visit the US, particularly the Midwest, and you'll come to understand why privately owned gasoline-guzzlers are the only solution to this particular transportation problem. The major cities are too dispersed with countless small population centers between them for any kind other kind of transportation to provide a feasible solution. It's not a matter of "engaging in democracy."

From Nebraska, not California, but grew up working on a farm and am married into a 5th generation farm family. None of us want DST.

Very well said. The 30 minutes after my Dad passed from cancer were overwhelming. I explain it as having all the good emotions turned off and all the bad ones turned up to 11. Like when you’re at a concert and it’s so loud that your ears start buzzing from the overload.

I’m used to the world without him now but I feel the same irrational frustration as the author seeing people the age he would be now and thinking “why did you get to live and he didn’t?” There are so many things I would like for him to have seen, things that he wanted for me that came true.

It’s strange how some of the grief never leaves and pops up unexpected. I got all teary watching Field of Dreams after probably 25 years...a fun movie when I was a kid but as a grown up the tension between fathers and sons.

Or in your native country.

Very jealous. After the Islay "holy trinity" (Ardbeg/Laph/Laga) Talisker is on my must visit list whenever I go to Scotland.

I've never had much Ledaig, I think only the 10 year. I'm going to have to grab a bottle of that 18 year sherry finish, that sounds good.

I wholeheartedly endorse this. For the money Corry is the best bottle coming off the island.

My observation from tastings is that many people do like peated whiskies, but few people like all peated whiskies.

The biggest hits I see in tastings are Talisker 10, Lagavulin 16, and about any Kilchoman. I haven't kept track but I'd say 70% of people find themselves really enjoying one or the other (Tally is pretty lightly peated). Ardbeg 10 and Laphroaig 10 are the most divisive...people love or hate them, and to that point yeah, maybe 40% of tasters love one or other. Bunnahabhain, Bowmore, about 50/50.

There is _no_ objective measure of quality when it comes to whisky so all we have to go on is personal preference. When Murray benighted the 2013 Yamazaki, that was _his_ personal preference against _all_ whiskies reviewed, peaty, smokey, or otherwise.

And you can _absolutely_ compare a peaty/smokey whisky to one that isn't. Why can't you? Peaty/smokey isn't the sharp divisor of preference that is insinuated in yours and other comments. Peat is delivered in very unique ways across distilleries and in my tastings I often have folks strongly dislike Ardbeg Corryvreckan but adore Lagavulin 16 (as an example).

I'm a Scotch/whisky nerd going on 10 years now. Particularly obsessed with anything from Islay. 50+ bottle collection, mostly easy-to-find stuff but there are a few rare expressions in there (Ardbeg 2009 Committee Release Supernova is probably the most unobtainable). I'm a drinker, not a collector, everything has been opened and consumed at least partially.

With that out there, I don't get the buzz over Japanese whisky. I've got several solid, highly reviewed expressions, including the 2013 sherried Yamazaki that Jim Murray put on the map. I've done several blind tasting with friends, some of whom are afficionados and some of whom are not, and that Yamazaki never comes out on top. If I do a sherry-finished flight more often than not the sherried Kilchoman finishes first or second, with the Yamazki usually beating the Glenmorangie Lasanta and not much else. Laphroaig PX either wins or comes second to the Kilchoman.

Japanese whisky is good and they're consistently making the best whisky that's not coming from the island. But (IMO, of course, this is completely non-objective) the best expressions are still coming from Scotland.

Pretty much anything you can imagine from front-end web to embedded circuits. Thing to keep in mind with Boulder is that it suffers from the same building restriction effects as SF, combined with explosive population growth, so you're going to pay out the nose for every square foot of living space. As long as you build that fact into your salary negotations Boulder is going to be awesome with a quality of life eons better than the coasts IMO.

I live in Colorado Springs for family reasons but would happily live in Boulder if things were a bit different.

Ok fine. The title is somewhat exaggerated.

Look at this story as another in a series of extreme efforts in 1943/1944 leading up to D-Day, the absence of which could have resulted in a different outcome. The portable Mulberry harbors. The Higgins boat. Operation Fortitude's ghost army. Juan Pujol's network of fictitious German agents. And even with all of those efforts, had Hitler decided to move Von Schweppenburg's panzers, D-Day would likely have failed.

So yeah, again, the title is a bit breathless, however it's not a stretch to say that much like at Incheon getting the tidal flows wrong would have significantly altered history.

Have you worked much with D8 Commerce? I know it's spoken of highly in the community but after tolerating it since my first deployment of that combo in late 2015, it still feels half baked at best and almost completely undocumented relative to other major Drupal projects.

Why this very evening I'm having to manually re-input authorize.net details because they updated the module with a very poor upgrade path.

I find nothing remotely special about a C-suite operator siding with an outside voice against a "trusted" internal resource. Even if the operator is the legendary Steve Jobs. C-suite operators, honestly, tend to just not really trust their internal resources. Often to their detriment.

I'm a tech consultant and am typically brought in by C-suite operators to assist them with deeply technical decisions. I tell clients out of the gate that what we're going to recommend will probably be 10% my firm's ideas and 90% ideas gleaned from interviews with their own personnel, slightly repackaged, better sold, but always attributed to the originator.

"Both are hosted and built on WordPress." As I expected when reading the headline.

Ludicrous. You can buy a Garmin inReach Explorer Plus for $450, pay $25/month for a subscription, and have two way messaging via Iridium/GPS/GLONASS satellites, mapping, position sends every 10 minutes to an interactive map on the website, and an SOS button that sends the cavalry if the shit really hits the fan.

Pretty solidly in the float schema / era. At least up to version 3. I started using CSS grid and haven’t looked back except for the occasional polyfill.

I was rolling my eyes at the subtitle. The article devolved from there.

Some great (sometimes indirect) information on why the 747 and to a lesser extent the A380 are being phased out, from my new favorite YouTube channel, Wendover Productions:

"Grit" aka mental toughness under duress.

I highly recommend looking into a GORUCK Challenge (https://www.goruck.com/the-challenge/) for anyone who wants to develop stronger mental muscle in a few short* hours.

It's amazing how just a short period of discomfort pares away the bullshit. You learn how to prioritize under duress, work with other people to assess, quantify and leverage strengths, and you figure out that you're capable of more than you thought.

You wouldn't think that a physical challenge translates outside of that scope. But it does, because most physical challenges are really mental challenges featuring a facade of physical discomfort.

*They will not feel short.

Agreed. Amazing accomplishment that many runners even don’t know about. I had a friend running the same race and it took him just under 20 hours. A seven hour difference boggles the mind.

Don’t overthink diet. Avoid these three things: obvious sugars (soda), fried foods, and bread.

Try to do 100 push-ups and 200 squats a day. I do 10 push-ups and 20 squats every time I check my email.

Simple = maintainable.

This "I'm so busy hustling I don't have time to read no books" sort of machismo has become quite fashionable.

I believe it's a mistake because there's a balance.

No, you don't want to become the ineffectual intellectual, constantly learning but never doing. It definitely is easy to see books and learning as progress when you should to be out on the sharp end.

But there are techniques you might use and mistakes you might not make if you invest into learning about and from written material. It seems like a celebration of ignorance to act otherwise.

Thanks! For some reason that didn't come up, all I got was an urban dictionary reference that didn't seem in context.

Wonder of this article is the source? https://medium.com/incerto/the-intellectual-yet-idiot-13211e...

What does "IYI" mean?

No, that is not how taxes work. You do not get to deduct a dollar from your tax obligation for every dollar you donate.

You only deduct the percentage dictated by your tax bracket. So assuming he's in the 39.6% tax bracket his tax obligation is reduced by 39.6 cents for every dollar he donates.

This is an oversimplification, there's a bit more to it than that, but you get the point. Maybe.
