On: Spammers are better at SPF, DKIM, and DMARC than everyone else

[RecycledEle]

I use NameCheap for domain registration, web hosting, and email.

Unless I pay extra for Premium DNS, my DKIM is set wrong because their Web Hosting DNS does not oet me set it correctly.

> What's the defence against a swarm of drones apart from jamming them?

It's the same as the defense against a large air raid, except the targets are a little different:

+ Size of targets + Speed of targets + Altitude of targets

The web site says the digital copy us free, then links to another web site that says it is no longer free.

Scam?

On: Ask HN: Should there be new RPN calculators to replace the TI-84?

[RecycledEle]

Even 7th and 8th grades use TI Nspire CX calculators in my area.

As rightbyte said, RPN is an HP thing, so if you want an RPN calculator, ask for an HP. Most test administrators can help you.

>RPN is an HP thing

Not anymore, that's why older engineers pay inflated prices for old ones on ebay.

Or pay extra for https://www.swissmicros.com/products

Sadly my HP 48G is dead dead (water damage and corrosion) and they don't have a replacement for that.

On: DigiKey's Tariff Resources

[RecycledEle]

> Let’s assume tariffs are used as a means to bring manufacturing to the US. By that definition the administration has no idea what level of tariffs will make this happen. Setting up manufacturing in the US for any item is not cheap - we don’t have the know how, labor to do it to begin with. On top of that the cost of manufacturing is many fold compared to china, India, Bangladesh or Taiwan. So 25% or 10% is still not in anyway going to force manufacture to come back.

I don't think there will be many startups reinventing products from scratch and building factories in the US.

I think multi-nationals will move a small factory to the US to avoid tarrifs.

That makes the US more resilient when some idiot leads us into another war.

25% is plenty to give a US location a comparative advanatage.

On: The lottery of the snakebite antivenom industry

[RecycledEle]

If there is insufficient supply of antivenom, is it wise to reduce the supply further with regulation?

[maxerickson → RecycledEle]

Would you consider severely punishing scammers to be regulation?

Or would that not count as antivenom regulation since they weren't actually selling antivenom?

> Doesn't anyone have integrity? Isn't there anyone who believes that your own possessions shouldn't be made to conspire against you?

Welcome to the Western Business World. You must be new here.

If you let Fed.Gov pwn your customers, they help you get your product to market.

If (like me) you refuse to help Fed.Gov own your customers, the they shut you down, as they did to me.

Good luck fighting the government.

There's a story here that I would love to hear.

On: Starship Flight 7

[RecycledEle]

I think this was the first test of StarShip v2. I'd be surprised if everything worked after they redesigned the whole StarShip. That would be like refactoring Microsoft Windows by hand-typing new code and expecting it to run without errors on the first try.

IIRC, it was Carl Bruggeman's IPSA Thesis that showed us how to laser out bad cores.
