In some applications random numbers are very useful but not unique and therefore you should consider where to use it. In this regard, there are for example, UUID v4 or Nano ID and the same.

So I was pretty enthusiastic about #DNS4EU at first.
Then I've discovered it blocklisted some random pastebin. Well, it happens. I mean, pastebins frequently get into trouble because of people pasting random shit. So I've filed an unblock request. I've suddenly got a mail to confirm registration in some random company's system — I suspect it was related to DNS4EU, but no clear indication. I've ignored it.
Then they've blocklisted my mail provider, for no apparent reason. It's still blocked. I've switched to the "unfiltered" version to be able to access my mail again.
Today I've gotten a mail via my backup MX. My main MX is up. My educated guess is that sysadmins using DNS4EU now get my mail redirected to their "site blocked" server. Isn't that great?
PS. Maybe if more people filed unblock requests for "poczta.ftdl.pl", it would help. It's a non-profit e-mail provider.

Generalized Bayesian Inference for Dynamic Random Dot Product Graphs
The random dot product graph is a popular model for network data with extensions that accommodate dynamic (time-varying) networks. However, two significant deficiencies exist in the dynamic random dot product graph literature: (1) no coherent Bayesian way to update one's prior beliefs about the latent positions in dynamic random dot product graphs due to their complicated constraints, and (2) no approach to forecast future networks with meaningful uncertainty quantification. This work proposes …
