In my case it's almost irrelevant because I don't have anything of real importance on my phone. I have an Android phone that does not have my gmail account on it. It does not have any enabled payment mechanism. It does not have ac

I saw the chaparral 2J run at Laguna Seca in 1970. It was clearly a menace. I was more impressed with the 2e in 1966, which pioneered wings.

Richard Hamming would often give this lecture when he traveled to another university. I was in grad school in 1979 when he showed up to give this talk at the University of Illinois (his alma mater). He chose to give his talk in a lounge rat

I wish I could post a screenshot of this site, because it proves beyond all measure why the commercial web sucks. Two modals for "sign up for our mailing list" and "accept all cookies". Fuck you very much. Why would I re

outlook.com is even worse. If you bring up a mail server, you have to apply to them for permission to send them email. Doesn't matter that you have DKIM, SPF, DMARC, or that the domain is 25 years old. They don't care - you must a

I placed an order for an Aptera around 2008, but they never delivered and eventually refunded my $500 deposit in 2010. Rumor had it that they couldn't produce the body shell. After the Aptera debacle, I ordered one of the very first Ni

I've been on digital ocean for maybe ten years but I now want a place where I can run a mail server. That rules out digital ocean because thei IP address blocks are on too many blacklists. I'd be curious to hear other suggestions

TOTP itself doesn't require a phone number, but the Authy phone app from Twilio managed to screw up their TOTP implementation and it requires a phone number. I filed a bug with them and they finally acknowledged that it's deeply e

The Authy app is not exactly TOTP - it's a bastardized version that requires you to supply a phone number to use it because that is what they use as a seed. Since twilio is a spam company, I would advise against this.

Me too. For me there is no such thing as "legitimate marketing". It's unsolicited commercial email, which means it is spam.

The reason why some people use the spam signal to unsubscribe is because most of these email lists were not _explicitly_ requested by the people. Not only that but unsubscribe confirms the existence of an email address. I'm hoping that

If you live in New York or Washington DC you can drop your junk mail off at the DMA headquarters. Imagine what it would be like if 1000 people a day delivered their junk mail there. They wouldn't be able to get in the door.

I like those little business-reply-mail envelopes. I tear up everything and put it in those envelopes and send it back. They DO have to pay for those to be returned.

The barrier to entry for advertising was pretty small when Google entered it. They worked hard on pricing models, ads relevance, ads quality, and making it unobtrusive to users (in the beginning). That's what allowed them to gain tract

Another xoogler here. iPhones are quite popular among Googlers, but probably not out of proportion to their demographic. Personally I stopped using almost every Google product after I got to see what android collects. I won a Google home ma

If you start a new mail server in 2022 (or migrate from a previous address), you have to apply to be whitelisted by outlook.com and the many domains owned by Microsoft. They no longer accept mail from servers they haven't seen before.

Let's not classify all spam blacklists as the same. UCEPROTECT is in a special class of extortionist cowboy, because it's basically just an inaccurate protection racket throwing a wide net across cloud providers who won't pla

This is basically why I treat my phone as an untrusted device. The rest of the world wants me to use my phone as an extension of myself, but I treat it only as a portal to the public world. Security updates are almost irrelevant if there is

I'm surprised that the poll doesn't mention retirement. I guess the construction of the poll forgot that there is a larger workforce than just the usual hacker news reader.

This is a blindingly obvious hypothesis. Assuming the mind has finite hierarchical memory, this is just a matter of purging cache or overwriting other information.

incoming email is easy. Outgoing email is a whole different ball game. I tried setting up an SMTP server on digital ocean and found it to be impossible due to the fact that all Digital Ocean IP ranges are on various blacklists. I moved the
