DMARC

you can check that the envelop and message sender header match at the mx level and let spf handle the rest

I don't get it, I can have all of this on email right now, and still be compatible with the rest of the world

> choose the organizations/sites that relay your correspondence

SPF/DKIM

> select which members of a site can correspond with you

whitelists have been a thing in a while

> always know from which site a message originated

SPF

> can block anyone with whom you’ve made contact

blacklists have been a thing in a while

> may leave a site and never see traffic from it again

domain filter are a thing too. preemptive 'but you still receive emails' - no you can send a 550 early on and interrupt the transfer as soon as you get the envelope sender domain

> 2 To offer capabilities missing in traditional email, including

that's all client side stuff and you can do all of it as of today on top of email. first part of the protocol is to know which user sent you markdown before, so you can send markdown to them. for user that you don't know if they have a markdown clent, your own client send a multipart with markdown and the local markdown representation as html, so you have a two-in-one discovery/fallback mechanism

while the first one might be beneficial as you give more control from the sysad and into the user hand for point 1.5, the second part is a problem we already had and we already solved with the transition from text email to html email and it was never a protocol issue to begin with, so I don't understand why it has been rolled in here for more effort and little effective gains.

the solution for routing voip on a mesh network wasn't obvious.

data? yeah, albeit p2p sharing was popularized a year late, aggregating multiple channels for data transfer was something common.

but voip has some unique challenges, as you cannot reconstruct data as easily, you have strict time constraint as your call would exhibit disruptive latency otherwise, so your mesh cannot pump packet downstream at their own leisure, the goal is not to saturate the channel but to provide a ordered stream whee packets arrive in a timely matter.

as a matter of fact the first consumer available p2p voip app was skype, 5 years or so after this patent, and they couldn't stabilize it with a true mesh so their software elected supernodes across their own network to act as relay.

paid

this is extremely frustrating for the users.

there's a game I used to play fairly often before updates simply broke it. like mission items were replaced with random fires floating in water. many users with the same issue reported it, and some like me even provided a save (which was never even downloaded)

all such tickets were closed with "cannot reproduce"

I'm not (their) tester, I don't have time to fully reproduce issues step by step, and I don't have access to a debug build anyway to figure out the bug trigger condition

"does not work" is the best I can say here.

> what the other options are

add political views into the list of non-discrimination laws and let the courts decide, if it's important enough to have to be legislated, that's the closes framework upon which to model it.

Especially since the timing strongly suggest they are just changing whom they sycophant for, following the change of power, and we might very we'll be in a position of not liking whom goes to power next; assuming these company allegiance is to the just side and not to the side with power is quite naive and the questioning of their role in society legitimate.

> I don't know at what point these cross into "utility" territory

I think there's an obvious midpoint missing in the discussion between private and utility, which is monopoly, which do have additional set of laws and checks in place precisely for their strength against the free market.

preemptive "there are plenty alternatives so they are not monopolies" - if turns out these alternatives are acting in concert, it configures a cartel, which can get regulated in all the same ways.

the economical concepts behind these events aren't so alien as the folk around made them to be, their novelty is in their application to intangible assets (views and online services) but most of the issues are the same as they were decades ago and the same concepts apply, to the same conclusions.

> slide backwards from traditionally liberal ideas spawned from the enlightenment

It's not by chance that enlightenment ended in the terror the first time around, people should read more about the past.

- let's put heavy industry at a walking distance

Said noone ever.

The walkable city model ignores the driving factor for commuting, the rest is just bike shedding.
