I would say all of those things are indicative of the mentality that we're criticizing here. "If something isn't right, someone has to do something." The joke in aviation is that "the first two strikes are free.&quo

To that point, I also co-founded an aviation charity org that does disaster relief. We randomly had a female volunteer show up and offer to assist us during the aftermath of hurricane Florence in NC in 2018. She had a couple of young guys

Awesome. I modified a library card software (Blacklight) into a searchable PDF industrial manual system awhile back on a one-off basis. It couldn't go any further than a contract project that delivered the source code because it'

In New Orleans they called it the "Katrina cough". People would just get sick from random things and die 6 months or a year after they'd survived the hurricane. Happened to one relative on my father's side of the family

As the article mentions, I can tell you that there is a stark divide between people who flew airplanes / helicopters in the civilian world before 1990 and after 1990, when noise cancelling headphones became prevalent. Old guard can&#x2

1. No, generally speaking corporate management in the 21st century does not make decisions based on effectiveness of their product or their workforce. They make decisions based on finance centered around the upcoming year or quarter. Tesla

Thanks! I'm coming from the other side of the equation. I work for a (small-ish, niche) CRM company, and have insisted that all new customers be very explicitly told that they have to set up SPF and DKIM properly during their migratio

Are there any real-world studies on SPF DKIM and DMARC impact on deliverability?

Indeed. I can deduce from that statement that Patreon probably allows content creators to post to the Vimeo upload API, but all of this is smells incredibly sketchy.

Patreon IS VERY MUCH subcontracting hosting, and quite nefariously at that. If Patreon is charging users for access to content, Patreon is obligated to serve it to those users , which in turn means Patreon is obligated to provide the hos

Thanks for the detail, as we know people exaggerate on social media and it wasn't clear from the few posts I could find about it whether this was an opt-in or not. The first post has a mention further down in the tweet thread about tha

Shouldn't be surprising to hear that the FAA doesn't really do anything with this stuff. They appoint a corporate-filled board of avionics companies to do all of the work for them, and then rubber stamp what those companies want.
