  • Great acting honestly.

    Conan was probably suffering a lot from that last dab... Even the host seemed a bit concerned by the amount of sauce on the last wings.

    One of the best episodes for sure.

  • Robbed ?

    What about tortured for weeks and then killed ?

    Sorry this is a very grim case but it's very famous in France.

    Dude thought he was going for a date with the cute girl from a local shop. Ended up being horribly tortured. This gang used women as bait frequently.

  • It's just communication.

    There will never be any french troops in Ukraine during the conflict.

    It's very clear in the army at least both in higher-ups and in troops I think.

    Advisors, trainers and other types of support definitely but there will not be any french troops in Ukraine.

    Macron might say the complete opposite in a few months it is meaningless.

    This is part of the purposefully ambiguous strategy our army wants to push. We just don't want to have a too detailed limit to what Russia can and cannot do before we act. But technically it's fairly irrelevant here since it's a NATO issue.

    People shouldn't think much to what our president says. This is a diversion to avoid talking about other subjects.

  • By dropping silently I meant really litteraly. If you answer to SMTP commands, you are not silent. You essentially say a spammer server that you are a valid target and that they can go on.

    It's not even a question if spammer buy domains to spam. It's well known and the reason why commercial products provides a feature to filter too fresh domains.

    There are procedures to "warm-up" an IP if you are a large provider and if you don't do it and attempt to send a lot of mails to Gmail this will not work. It's not just about DNS records. You could have donne everything perfectly DNS wise and still be blocked by Gmail servers.

    You should take a look at the requirements of Gmail for large providers. As far as I recall Gmail does check FcrDNS since last month. On top of more requirements for authentication.

    Still you can't just buy an IP, a server, set MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, ARC?, FcrDNS and expect large amounts of mail to go through right away.

    And again, any communication method will have a spam problem

    The major issue here is that anybody can send any email to whoever. Most communication apps won't let you do that certainly not like emails.

    You can't open WhatsApp and start spamming the whole world. You basically can only do that with phone calls and emails ?

    So no, SMTP/IMF has rotten foundations. No matter how many (optional) protocol you add on top, it will always be such an hassle to maintain and there will be always people who can't afford that much effort.

    Small businesses having to set that up just to reach Gmail is a big problem that they usually externalize with Outlook365 and so on.

    Again, Gmail calls the shots because they are the leader. But on paper my fully unauthenticated mail from Barack.obama is perfectly RFC compliant and legit. These protocols that are essential are optional at the end of the day. They became virtually mandatory because of the spam issue and Gmail pushing in the (right) direction because they have leverage.

    SMTP on its own is trash.

  • It sounds like your problem is with the way providers handle email and not email itself.

    No. Providers handle mail this way because they have no choice to do so.

    You are stuck between two major Issues.

    On one hand you can have your anti-spam very lenient and receive pretty much everything. But if you do you will get more phishing and malware ridden mails. So the users will be exposed to one of the most dangerous vector of infection.

    On the other hand you can have a super aggressive spam filter but some mail will be dropped. Whether an email notifications or the contract of the year for a business. It's no matter. It might never be delivered.

    And since we have to block millions of spam mail everyday we have to block them silently because if you respond to certain malicious SMTP server online they will just spam you.

    In reality businesses are used to email so that's what is commonly used.

    But it's far too unreliable to communicate with clients of that business. You can't just have an important contract sent as an attachment by mail with some chance that it will be silently dropped at some point.

    The simple fact that you can send an information to someone by email and it might be silently dropped without you ever being aware of it should IMO have led to the conclusion that it should never be used for anything remotely critical.

    If it's important it shouldn't be an email. The reality is millions of dollars worth of business conducted solely through email conversations. And also a very lucrative business of spam.

    Even businesses are often spammers or as they may call it "gray mail".

    No email providers will guarantee you a 0% fault spam filtering.

    Not Gmail either.

    As much as I hate Gmail, at least they are pushing for everyone being required to use SPF and DKIM. That alone will eliminate a huge portion of the spam problem.

    It's a good thing Gmail does that but it helps only their users right now (since February's changes). If your business communicates with thousands of small domains on small providers it will take another decade for every SMTP server to fix their s***. And even then there will still be spam.

    What's the difference between a spammer going through all the hoops of creating a mail domain and a new business ?

    Not much. Both mynewlegitEmailDomain.com and SpammerWho UnderstandsDNS.com are essentially the same for a spam filter.

    They both would have "legit DNS records" but would both have trouble sending mail to Gmail at first.

    Because Gmail cannot know if you are a spammer that setup a new disposable domain or a serious actor in email that just wants to communicate with you.

    Truthfully Email is a terrible protocol that cannot be fixed with yet another layer of duct tape. You will never have any guarantee your mail is delivered. There is plenty of communication systems that's will tell you it's delivered or not.

  • I work on email systems everyday.

    Please don't let this protocol survive.

    Forget emails that is functionally a terrible communication tool.

    You never know if it will be received by the recipient. There is always false positive false negative classification in spam.

    SMTP is an outdated protocol that needs to die.

  • Basically, price surges on the menu when in high demand. So if you would go take out some Wendy's during some holiday or a very busy time the prices would be higher than usual.

    Obviously, I agree with others that Wendy's will probably do that sneakily and not with huge price difference but the concept is disgusting especially when it comes to food imo.
