Good read and advice.

Scott, if you write about this in the future, please don't say "at least I'm not dying of X". People reading this might be, and you are basically saying "well, at least its not that". Yes, people with cancer, and dying of cancer, read HN, particularly when the subject is pain.

"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat."

- Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the U.S

I'm a late boomer (1961). I don't blame the generation before me. I've known lots of them. My values, who I am, and what I do, stands entirely on their shoulders.

Maybe a little older than 4 years, but posting because it's really well done.

Is there a browser extension that will show a visual indication of network activity so I know to take a closer look via the network monitor. I know - it might flash all the time, but at least I can take a closer look to assess the sites that I visit regularly.

The advancements in equipment to clean up after a large and/or complicated derailments contributes to these "acceptable" number of derailments. This includes roadbed, rail, and specialized equipment to move cars and locomotives. There are even 3rd party companies that specialize in railroad derailments.

Large wrecks can be cleaned up in 24 hours.

To what end? Our world is not short of this kind of talent, at any age. Those that have these abilities will get there, in time. So maybe it would be better at that age to teach them to paint, throw a baseball, fly fish, travel, etc.

A relative new player is MailerSend (https://mailersend.com/). We've moved all of our transactional e-mail over to their service.

They have a sensible onboarding and UI/dashboard. The dashboard makes it clear how to set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC. There is a generous free tier for a single domain. A single paid account supports multiple domains starting at $25/mo for 50k outbound. Support has been excellent.

And the biggest upside is that their shared IP range, so far, is clean and not blacklisted. That was the clincher for us.

I have no connection to MailerSend other than as a happy customer.

Or perhaps a for-profit company running this search engine and not garnering profit from it by directly changing search results, or having a different model for profit that does not affect search rankings.

I recently switched over to MailerSend for all of our transactional e-mail. It's drop-dead simple to setup a new domain, and you can manage multiple domains under one account. Their domain validation is rock solid and IP address pool is clean and not blacklisted. Logging and analytics could use some feature upgrades, but it's not bad. Support has been excellent. I have no connection to MailerSend other than being a relatively new customer.

Cost of a colonoscopy is roughly $3000 in the US, and many insurance providers won't cover the costs of this procedure prior to 50 if not recommended by a doctor. Your doctor will need a reason to prescribe before 50.

Colonoscopy is an entire "line of business". And my insurance provider, CareFirst, balks at Cologuard as an alternative, even though it is less than 1/3 the cost of a standard colonoscopy.

A relatively new favorite that seems to fit the times:

"Fear leads to panic, panic leads to pain, pain leads to anger, anger leads to hate."

"Controversy breeds clicks and pageviews which drive advertising income."

I really wish Americans would wake up to this, and realize that Facebook, and news media in general, are breeding grounds for our division.

I've run up against this multiple times for apps that were hosted on shared servers. In both instances we had to move the apps to dedicated virtual servers so that TLS v1.0/1.1 could be disabled.

None of the providers would disable TLS v1.0/1.1 and won't say when they will.

Also realize that some enterprise security products are also starting to block or throw warnings due to the host having old SSL/TLS protocols enabled.
