If you read the article to the end you'll see they say there is indeed a business case:

> Attempting to handle ANY queries creates enormous complexity in our DNS server code base. It's almost impossible to generate a proper response, anyway. Consider load-balancing, geoip, CNAME flattening features, and on-the-fly answer generation.

It isn't like they are saying no one should ever implement them, just that they aren't because of low utility in their environment vs relatively high cost.
Hi, thanks for the question and sorry for the late feedback :)

Yes, its a solr index behind. I did a lot of stuff with LibLinear [1] for my masters, in combination with Apache OpenNLP [2]. With a mix of clustering and a lot of fun with lucene (3.x at that time) and sentiment analysis. Now, some years later, I re-thought my pretty buggy approach from the past and wanted to do something with that. A small side product is this bookmarklet.

The crawling is a pretty basic web-scraping approach in Java. Not in-code (like Jsoup), but with a Firefox in a Framebuffer with a Webdriver, because I wanted to be able to have the full power of a modern browser rendering engine, instead of a in-code content-download.

To be honest, it seems that the basic tenants of inflation have been violated since the 2007/8 crisis and the subsequent massive influxes of liquidity (primarily through the various quantitative easing programmes), so I really cannot say with any certainty.

There’s an enormous amount of money already sloshing around in the systems, and it seems to be pooling at the top (hence all the inequality).

On one level, somebody could argue that all the typically ‘renter’ activities (rents, licenses, et cetera) should be suspended during the period of crisis to prevent those who “profit from standing still” to absorb more liquidity and boost their wealth whilst the scurrying masses are bled white, but I don’t think that’s practical.
As many people are taking zinc supplements it's worth noting zinc in high doses causes this effect too so hard to say the effect being driven by covid or zinc popping or both.
My guess would be that the village will also later be reused for the virus outbreak. They said 66 buildings were damaged and they are building a 500 people village
That is a great quote, applicable to everything from Greek mythology to Hebrew Bible stories.
The US stock market always seems wildly optimistic. It was still near its all-time highs while it was already seeming quite likely that the virus would be a serious problem. The Australian stock market is now at 2013 levels.

On the other hand, once there's a sign that the end of the pandemic may be in sight, I expect that the US markets will overreact on the side of optimism, regardless of the actual economic damage that has been done. Bear in mind that governments are adding to the vast stockpile of paper "wealth" that's already out there, and that tends to cause asset inflation.
The iAPX 432 was long after the 8086, not before.

And the 80286 predated the 80386 as a 32-bit processor, so the 80286 was Intel's first 32-bit offering. It was still segmented, missing the paging hardware. I helped write an operating system for it. Short-lived.
The hospitality industry, obviously. (sorry)
I was told a story by a friend who works for a CDN (big one that handles lots of online video):

"Hey - look at this, I think someone's trying to DDOS us."

> "A hundred thousand requests a second? Neat - is it affecting our latency?"

"Um... no, not really."

> "Give me a shout if they hit a million a second."
Good riddance?

I believe I'm missing some profound point that the TFA is apparently making.
Right, the problem is self-awareness. You'd want to convince bad drivers that they are bad, hoping this makes them try to improve.
In the terrorism of the 60s through to the 90s a common demand in hostage situations was to have a letter read out in the media. The PFLP would do it, the Red Army Brigades, even the Unabomber demanded his manifesto be printed

They needed to take hostages to get published because most media wouldn't air their messaging because of their support of violence

In the modern age they'd all have free platforms and likely amplification.
> Precisely what would we have gotten if those insurrectionists had succeeded in neutralizing the legislative branch?

Oh please. This is pure delusion. There was 0 path for a group of a few hundred to “neutralizing the legislative branch”. What happened at the capitol was bad, but pretending there was any chance in it ending in a Trump dictatorship is simply hyperbole.
I dunno. I think this is precisely an example of why hard cases can make good laws - not that were making laws here yet, but the OP definitely brings up a good point about the general matter.
Twitter has the letter of the law on its side.

Twitter has also urinated all over the spirit of the law.

Down with Twitter and its monstrous intolerance.
Please show what the actual accusations of espionage are in that article - because I don't see any.
Yeeah, that's a little confusing.

In our case, we needed to filter on hidden columns (as we still cared about the data behind the scenes), but I'm thinking that this is something that should be optional.
> I settled with the understanding that they had the upper hand

Sounds like #3 is your primary concern. While some situations are beyond your control, you should put some effort into understanding perception and how you can manufacture the perception that you have the upper hand, not them.

The simplest example of this is Dan Kennedy's takeaway selling technique..Basically you make it seem like you are unavailable to work with them, and because people want what they can't have, they stop thinking about whether they want you but rather how to get you. This puts you in the drivers seat.
This looks strangely familiar... Plugging the same site twice by linking to a blog entry about it the second time around?
This is what I wondered too. I think there must be something we are missing. SpaceX has 3,000 employees and tons of capital equipment. They have contracts worth billions of dollars and loads of proprietary technology?

I thought they were already profitable? But is that incorrect? It would seem disingenuous to claim that they lowered the price of space travel by 90% if they actually weren't even breaking even? hahahha.
In practice, I'm not sure there's anything that can be done about service dog misrepresentation.

When I was trained in restaurants to deal with (potential) service dogs, the extent to which I was allowed to ask any questions was "Is that a service dog?". As long as the answer was "Yes", I was to leave them alone. No questions asked. Anything else supposedly opened you to litigation

Edit: Looks like there's a separate thread with additional ADA info. Tl;dr - nothing you can do to stop people misrepresenting their dogs as service animals.
Drivers are not a "business". They are laborers for Uber, which is the business.
Gah. Humans are so annoying sometimes, aren't they?

Did the legally allowed questions allow you to exclude the dog very often, or did you pretty much have to concede the matter most of the time?
Yeah, after reading this I can't forget it. Not sure what kind of animal one needs to be to do this.
Is there as much of an effort to unionize in other countries where tech salaries are markedly lower? I only seem to hear about efforts to organize in the US, but Europe's tech salaries are far lower across the board. You'd think that efforts to organize there would be more fruitful.
What was Jobs' second? NeXT wasn't a billion dollar company and he didn't start Pixar. His wiki page doesn't list major involvement with any other companies.
There really isn't a company at that scale that doesn't have problems. I rank Target over Amazon simply because I know the products are going to be legit. Most of the time I'm doing curbside pickup there anyways.

And don't forget, Apple was also doing shady stuff: https://www.theverge.com/2020/9/3/21419729/apple-california-...
Wouldn’t someone with a severe allergy to dogs also be covered under ADA?
6-2 majority decision, which is pretty one-sided and really good news for open source.

It's worth noting - the two dissenting justices were Clarence and Alito, who are both baby boomers over the age of 70, both old school conservatives. Of other two conservative justices, Kavanaugh and Gorsuch (who are also on the early end of Gen X), both sided with Google.[1] I was not expecting that. I thought they would have aggressive views with respect to the possibility of copyright infringement.

Funny moment during the case - Clarence compared Google copying Oracle to a football team stealing an opponent's playbook. That's a really bad analogy and demonstrates a lack of understanding in open source software.

Oh, and before I forget - f*ck you, Larry Ellison.

[1] Justice Barrett came in too late to participate in the decision, I wonder where she would have sided.
I am Full Stack Developer with strong believe in GOD Muslim

Interesting concept - I didn't know the word for this!

Though, the examples atop the Topicalization article still have all the words necessary for a more traditional grammar, just out of order. As highlighted in this article, the author has also dropped the implied "is".

I find this more common in spoken language, used by the speaker to inject a bit of variety and emphasis. I didn't realize it was a US-northeasternism, but I'm also not surprised to find in writing that's attempting an informal, spoken-word-like tone. It tends to set the observation off to the side, as if delivered in a different voice (stepping aside from the podium for a moment), or (as in some textbooks) like a comment printed in the side margin.

To answer the GP's question, it seems acceptable to me in an informal 'chatty' context, but you probably wouldn't find it in an academic/historical/neutral-journalistic composition. (I didn't read it as a specific attempt to invoke Yoda-style-speech.)
No tactics.
Do you have any source that would link arrest of Shakil Afridi to WikiLeaks and Manning documents?

I cannot find such a link.
I don't have any numbers, but I would guess that a good part of Uber's user base consists of people that travel often. Not having to download a new app or update every time you go to a different country is a huge advantage.
No, the way incognito works is as if you are using a throw away device. If the website measures what pages in the website you visited it doesn't make such incognito "mask" any more transparent.

It'd be similar to the cctv recording what aisles you visited in the shop while you had your mask on
It is absolutely a choice made by Apple. Google said no to giving their user data to the Chinese government.
Helm isn't great (god, Go templates, shudder), but I love being able to bundle all the manifests for an application together with well-documented parameters/values... If you want do something like conditionally switch from a LoadBalancer service to Ingress in a test environment... I have no idea how you'd handle that in Kustomize, but it's straightforward in Helm. Ultimately it seems like you end up with the same complexity, just expressed via 100 layers of Kustomize transforms instead of with a conditional in your template.
> Abu Ghraib a crime against humanity?

Depends on how you define such, your examples meet old UN definition, Abu Ghraib meets newer ICC definition.

> How many people died in Abu Ghraib..

at least one
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Ghraib_torture_and_prisone...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Jamadi

> How many innocent lives were put at risk because of Abu Ghraib?

Depends on how you define innocent, but given WMD was a false pretence, and regime change the moral justification retreat position, torture and prisoner abuse at the same site as the former regime is pretty damning. I would say a lot of lives were put at risk by this change in 'optics'.

> let's get outraged about the Taliban..

No problem.

> By the way, the guys in Abu were fighting..

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Jamadi was a suspect, not a combatant.

> One specific and direct result of Manning is the case of Shakil Afridi

There's absolutely nothing specific or direct about Manning and this, the link you provide makes no such suggestion.

> There are dozens and dozens of intelligence sources and relationships that were significantly harmed because of Manning.

This was not to the case according to military testimony:
http://www.courthousenews.com/2013/07/31/59869.htm
http://www.thenation.com/blog/174622/seven-myths-about-bradl... (see number five.)

EDIT: I misread, thinking you meant injured or killed. It just hurt relationships, I think that point is fairly hard to argue. Sure, it hurt relationships. I'd say Abu Ghraib looms larger in their consciousness than the leaks that took place though.

> Being morally outraged over Bradley Manning puts you in the same shoes as a Taliban sympathizer because not only was Manning a soldier

Echoes of GWB: you are either with us or against us. Most people have the maturity to rise above this simplistic level of thinking.
Josh, been really appreciating the quality of your posts.

Enjoy how you break down what's happening and also throw in some "fun facts" of the reasons why something came to be.

Like the will-transform property, have always used it but didn't realize it came out of people hacking the transform3D property to get GPU acceleration
exactly this. Facebook can still tie your actions in the app to your Facebook account, nothing's changing there and Apple couldn't possibly control that. They won't, however, get that IDFA, which _is_ something Apple can control.
The pricing is killing it, and Apple probably knew it would, but they don't want to cannibalize margins here. There really isn't a competitive product, so they have no incentive to lower prices.
Sounds like a gigantic waste of time if you're applying somewhere other than Google, Facebook, or any of the "Big Tech Firms".
Comparisons to previous years don't really make sense. ICU capacity should have somewhat increased and in previous years they weren't anticipating such a massive influx of new patients.
No, it was Trump saying "These things happen" to a mob of people breaking into the Capitol building of the United States.

Edit: Not sure why I'm getting downvoted for this. Here is a screenshot of the removed tweet: https://d.pr/i/Ex15UI/ABdSwruLJz
You can try contemplating about why there ought to be any meaning in the first place. Once you come to terms that the universe isn't obligated to provide anything to you, I think you'll possibly appreciate life more, at least that's how I see it.

Let me know what you think :-)
Given the introduction, I expected to see Ballmer saying something outright idiotic. I didn't see it. He merely said that whether it's a tablet or a laptop or a desktop, it's still a personal computer. Fair point. Perhaps he used the word productivity to mean creative activities? Maybe someone could take issue with that? Sure, go ahead. I wouldn't work for Ballmer either, but this video is not why.
Women with talents in the sciences wont be ignored simply because they are too valuable to business and society.

I don't believe this is true. In general, individuals behave irrationally all the time. Societies are even worse.

There are all sorts of mechanisms by which societies make irrational decisions, but here's one example: we can't evaluate future value. A middle aged woman who has just discovered a cure for heart disease is incredibly valuable. But you'll never get that middle aged scientist if society doesn't spend expend a lot of time, money, and attention on her when she's an uninteresting 12 year old with absolutely nothing remarkable except a vague interest in chemistry. There are lots of critical decision points where society should be investing in that woman, but at almost all of those points, her visible value is very very small.
It's an interesting dilemma for every company that is pioneering, isn't it?
To Ad or Not to Ad to sustain and to see the idea through.
I wonder if naming a product "SQLite Professional", when the company has no affiliation with the SQLite Consortium or HWACI (the company that originally developed SQLite and does sell commercial extensions), is a trademark violation. If I hadn't gone and checked the copyright notice at the bottom of the web page, I would have assumed that this was a product of HWACI.
There is no war on general purpose computers. If you want one, you can get one.

Some people need one, some people don't. What we are finding is that very few people wanted a general purpose computer in the first place. They wanted to do a thing, and a general purpose computers did that thing(also many other things they didn't want to do or understood).

You could buy a dvd player that was region unlocked. You can purchase unlocked phones. You don't have to buy an iphone, or stick to the Google play store but it's nice to know that you could live in the garden if you wanted to.

Is the NSA a problem? absolutely. Could requirements like cell-phone termination be used for nefarious means? yes. But we built strong democratic institutions for a reason, and we should be turning to them, not some ideology that helps only the technologically gifted. Mr. Doctrow needs to argue against policy on it's individual merits, not claim it violates some FSF ideology he loves and fearmonger luddites.
You make a fair point, I said that just from an empirical standpoint. As in, at the beginning of 2014 only a couple people didn't want to use Facebook and mainly because of dissident/im-not-like-everybody-else reasons (i.e. everybody was there, so much that there were even some reluctant to join). At the beginning of this year, probably 4 out of 10 of the people I meet do not have significant activity w/ the site, and the reasons are more substantial, like in 'because I don't like it anymore' (i.e. not everybody is in there anymore, and now people is instead reluctant of staying there). That's unprecedented and me and those people are exactly the demographic that drives the gain or fail behind these things.
I hate to say it but I think there is no way to prevent this.

If the human experience shows us anything it is that those with power will use any instrument to exert its will. The internet and computing generally was not born from anarchy and does not exist free from powerful influence from the start.

There is no man-made system that is not corrupted by powerful interests.
>after Facebook's hugely publicized botched IPO and Nasdaq error, all the experts again said the web 2.0 bubble had burst

I'd dispute Facebook's IPO was botched if you are treating it as a real business rather than a bubble stock. With a real business you may as well sell stock for what buyers will pay and if the price subsequently fluctuates then that's what stock prices do. The idea that flotations must be underpriced so you can give the impression of price growth and get more investors later is more of a Ponzi scheme way of doing things.
I was only able to find a few who mentioned it specifically, https://twitter.com/luke_stark/status/1372934350011043840, https://twitter.com/KwasiAMensah/status/1377259862762123265 and possibly https://twitter.com/ackleow/status/1354874327796232195 & https://twitter.com/pigpen7877/status/1377542008093302787

But it's not just me who figures that people will be less inclined to want to work there including this Google employee https://twitter.com/vickitardif/status/1334499064457650176 and this person who co-authored a paper with Timnit https://twitter.com/emilymbender/status/1370463074692472834

By the time you check if the image is 1x1, you've already downloaded it.

The alternative expensive solution is to download EVERY image a user receives and store it indefinitely. That way the trackers aren't any more useful than "was the email received".

In short, I'd love a better solution to " load all images " vs " load no images " but that's where I ended up talking to our frontend engineer at Fastmail. Obviously he had thought about the problem a lot more then me (I do operations not any frontend) and there's no easy solution.
Who shares a bitcoin wallet or operates one like a bank? If anything the opposite is more likely, several bitcoin wallets belong to single individuals, probably in particular for some of the high net worth ones in an attempt to obfuscate ownership, which if anything, understates how concentrated it is.
If the backend is open source then there is recourse.
The short answer is "yes, it's worth the time".

One big improvement I've made in my code over the years is that I take the time to improve my code. Continuously improving code quality does lead to high code quality, and high code quality reduces maintenance hours (both amount needed and time spent).

As a quick note: I think your last comment up thread answered my second question reasonably well, it posted while I was writing my comment. But any additional details you want to share will be welcome.
The Virgin Media list above has some very benign content blocked (movies, sports and even a Nintendo cheats/hacks site).

This is concerning and I'm thankful I left that terrible (for a lot of other reasons) company long ago (my current ISP doesn't seem to be blocking anything from their list).
I think the idea is that it is a successor to other networking protocols, without "baggage" and various (in the author's opinion) other missteps that make our existing networking stack a bit bloated / inefficient.
Oh, data, that pesky thing. I go here, and observe rate of change (log) graphs. I ignore linear body counts, which all the headlines scream:

Italy is flattening and exponential growth becomes exponential decay.
It's really cool.

Of course borrow checker would be helpful, but I guess that's too hard to implement, that's why something like this would be a good balance.
It isn't flawed per se, it's simply focused more on human perception than a scientific analysis of light itself.

Goethe's book provides a catalogue of how colour is perceived in a wide variety of circumstances, and considers Isaac Newton's observations to be special cases.[3] Unlike Newton, Goethe's concern was not so much with the analytic treatment of colour, as with the qualities of how phenomena are perceived. Philosophers have come to understand the distinction between the optical spectrum, as observed by Newton, and the phenomenon of human colour perception as presented by Goethe.

... his aesthetic approach did not lend itself to the demands of analytic and mathematical analysis used ubiquitously in modern Science.

Wittgenstein also wrote an interesting book about it:
