Having an earlier registration date can be overridden if a dispute panel finds that it was registered in "bad faith", though. The clearest cases are where you know about or guess an upcoming trademark registration (say, due to rumors of a merger or new product release) and then register the domain before it happens, with the sole purpose of hoping to sell it to the new trademark holder.

A few panels, though, have made the much stronger holding that you have to both register and use the domain name prior to the date of trademark registration; i.e. if all you did was domain-park it and try to sell it, it's a bad-faith registration.

No, I don't think I'd actually lose anyone. It's hands-down the best tool for the job, and the only competition is from a product that I originally wrote as a freeware in cooperation with another site, was kicked off the project, and was subsequently turned into payware and has stagnated over the years. I could easily sell this product for 5 or 10 a pop and still have a decent userbase, but choose not to for not moral so much as karmic reasons.

But the thing about these features is.. they generate consumer goodwill. I don't know how else to explain it, but implementing stuff like this somehow makes geeks and grandmas alike more willing to endorse it. From the feedback that I've gotten, they feel it "speaks to them" and doesn't get in the way.

But what I've learned, regardless of the reason, keep your users happy and they'll recommend your product. They'll stick with you, and they'll remember you.

Case in point: just yesterday, I added the final feature for the 2.0 milestone which is a blue border around the button used to select the current page when it has focus. Trivial feature. Except instantly a user realizes that if they set an option to start EasyBCD up with a particular page, the blue border will remain along the default button. And they bug it, and when I say "it's really not worth fussing over" they insist: http://neosmart.net/forums/showthread.php?t=6506

That doesn't of course mean that I let the plethora of strongly-opinionated users take over the development of the software. I generally refuse most features. But the subtle enhancements they recommend, that's what I follow. Because it's just a bit more work for me, but it's makes the software go viral without even my trying.

One last thing: I'm absolutely against locking down features. I give users enough rope to hang themselves, but enough guiderails and warning messages that they don't do so blithely. And that opens the door to experimentation, to videos on YouTube where people use the software to do things I didn't think were possible and certainly never intended. And it keeps your users content with you, your software, and any future products you'll ever ship in the future.

tl;dr Features make EasyBCD's users happy. It's minor stuff, they would never abandon ship if it weren't there, but it makes them happy and it makes EasyBCD come to mind whenever someone needs a product that fits the bill.
PA Semi gave them specific IP and engineers for low-power chip design. ARM already licenses its IP and designs for a very low price. At best, I could see Apple buying a minority percentage like they used to own just to keep someone else from messing with them.
Well, you have to factor in changing out of your running clothes and showering if you're in a "professional" environment.

Also I have bad knees that make even the mile I walked to the job I just quit a little difficult. I doubt they will ever heal enough that running is a good idea.
Great app! I've been using it for a few weeks and I fell in love with it. Keep up the good work!
Difficult?

I don't see how it's difficult. Are [li|u]nix admins getting more stupid?
Would you say that there is 'limited proof' that C is inherently more dangerous than Java?

I would estimate PHP is inherently more dangerous than C.
If I were that worried, I'd just get rid of the phone!
> This isn't even the case. Last season in my country fruits were rotting in the fields cause nobody was there to pick them up.

It is the case, but leaves some assumptions on the table. Namely that you understand that price exists to be a deterrent, and when price rises too high you will decide that you don't need something anymore.

The fruits rotted in the fields because they weren't worth picking. There was no need to pay anyone to do a job that wasn't deemed worthwhile to do in the first place.
GIC[0] is a pretty interesting risk factor but popular reporting on it is not great. The posted article has some interesting history on the Carrington event and good details on what CMEs are but falls down on when talking about the risk to the power system.

Example: "The power grids of most countries would be completely and effectively leveled. The top way to mitigate the effects of such a flare would be through increased grounding, so that the large currents that would otherwise flow through grid wires would instead flow directly into the Earth. Every time power companies attempt to do this, however, what winds up happening instead is that the conducting substance used for grounding (such as copper) is stolen for its material value."

Power grids would not be "completely leveled". And "grounding" is not the issue (although yeah, copper theft is a thing). Source[1] states that Hydro-Quebec tripped for over current on long transmission lines. This has nothing to do with inadequate grounding and the solution was to increase the over current settings because the system could handle the induced current. The system was restored in 9 hours. Another event[2] listed resulted in "disturbances" across a large geographic area: a voltage collapse and unusual power flow but not outages.

If the induced current was much higher the system would trip off to protect itself while the GIC lasted. This could take a while to recover from if it was a wide spread outage but we're not talking a civilization ending event like headlines suggest.

What power companies are most concerned about are damaged transformers. Replacement transformers (at transmission levels anyway) are very expensive and have months to years long lead time so if a few get damaged restoration could take a very long time. But we have literature[3][4] that tells us what transformer designs are susceptible to overheating due to GIC. TLDR: Most modern transformers will be fine.

What I'm more concerned about are satellites. I don't know how many satellites would be disabled and are at risk of collision. That sounds bad. What critical things rely on satellite infrastructure? GPS seems like a big one. Power systems use GPS timing, in some cases to enable differential current protection. But usually these systems will default to impedance protection on a loss of GPS signal and at any rate the industry is probably moving to terrestrial time sources because of the risk of GPS spoofing anyway.

Yeah, except if fruit is left rotting in the fields, then the supply could well be overabundant anyway and the profit margin isn't worth even that small cost for the workers. Absent evidence to the contrary, I will believe that business owners are chiefly rational actors.
It looks like you collect a lot of device and browsing related data according to your privacy policy. What is your business model and why should I trust you with my data?
Every setting on maximum and it becomes a kind of slow-moving horror movie.

Every setting on minimum, except mesh set to 128 - and it's a kind of poor-mans MS Paint. After preparing a nice image, set gravity to max and watch the splendor.
Also, what proportion of the world lives in climates where it makes sense to optimize for -20C weather?

How do I carry my kids and groceries in +100F(38c) or nearly freezing weather?
It's not "hopeless to manage", learn some networking and be forever rewarded. Same with learning to manage devices, servers, etc. I develop now but I'd be much less valiable without that background.
> The 3-minute rest group achieved greater muscle growth.

How much greater? Is it significant, like 50% more? Otherwise, why can't we just say "do whatever feels comfortable for you."

I think the real goal would be to do whatever keeps you happy and coming back to the gym. Long rest periods make me feel bored/annoyed, while short ones make me feel stressed.
If nobody wanted to hear a message, they would just not subscribe to a person sending it. We are not talking about that, we are talking about privately owned platforms directly deciding what kind of ideas are allowed to circulate in our society. And I find it quite worrying. Because right now it is in their direct interest to make sure an average American doesn't have a family, doesn't have kids, devotes their entire energy to their corporate job, and doesn't accumulate a single dollar worth of savings. It looks great on the financial statements, but it makes people across the board miserable.
I've been doing my job for over 30 years, and I still love it. But I think it's very healthy to separate what you love to do and the company that pays money for it. The company can be great, and it can be crappy, and it can start out great and turn into crappy (I've never seen the reverse happen but who knows) but for people working in tech - we have the luxury of having a job that allows us choice from thousands of employers. Everybody needs tech people now - from trillion-dollar corporations to three-people startups.

If your workplace sucks - you have an option to do it somewhere else. Yes, maybe it won't have an attached gym and free three-course meals - but, as hard as it is to believe, there are ways to get meals and workouts outside Google, and it's not even remotely hard. Yes, maybe you'd not be paid outrageous piles of money, just piles of money which would beyond the dreams of 98% of people in the country, not 99.9%. You can survive it, and you can even keep your love for what you're doing, without attaching yourself to a Google.

It's ok to like your company, especially if it's about people you work with and things you're doing, but if you find yourself in love with a corporate monster like Google, you've gone off rails. It will hurt you, and it won't even know or care. It's not built for that.
They way you describe them makes it sound like a real synergistic aquisitions for Intuit.
It's great that Jordan says what he really thinks. But we also like it when players are humble. We want both, there's no contradiction. So yes, that means we want players to say humble things, and mean it.

Hard to expect small casualties when you shoot your soldiers with machineguns from the back.
I think I don't understand what capital intensity means here. If the margin is low, doesn't it mean that it's capital intensive? In the example, $75M is required to get $25M. Isn't that intensive?
You would have to understand class in the academic sense, as opposed to what you've been told your entire life, so being confused is entirely understandable.

Class is a term that relates to an individual's relationship with the means of production in a society. The means of production is the capital property, of course, the businesses, the factories, productive agricultural land. This relationship is material, meaningful, and provides a precise description of class in society.

Class is not about whether you swing a hammer or use a Macbook.

Hacker News comments are not the appropriate place to learn or teach any of this, because quite frankly I'm tired.

The Communist Manifesto is twenty pages. It's available freely online. Yes, it's greatly simplified propaganda from the 19th century. That said, you should take an hour to read it, and then hit up Wikipedia, look for counter arguments, whatever, make up your own mind - once you do, see if you come back and believe that Krein knows much of anything at all.
Was going to mention the low diversity as well...
> political system to organise itself to reward work done

How do you decide which work is valuable and which work isn’t?
If I were in such a camp, I imagine I would be very eager to learn Mandarin in an attempt to please the system.
> those who almost don't have the opportunity to decide who to become

That's an interesting phrase. Can you say what you mean by it?
I always found it very confusing to figure out exactly what tags it wanted since there was so much variation between forums.
> He was the only one mining in the early days.

This is untrue-- we know other people who mined in the first days.

The way the initial released software worked, it wouldn't mine unless another peer was connected. So it's possible that there has never been a moment when there was only one party mining.
In the abstract that's all fine and good but we're talking about some very concrete situations here that go nowhere near those extremes. Extremes are nice to come down on something 'in principle' but barring extraordinary concocted up scenarios to expose the weaknesses of having a pre-set mind about anything at all it is still very useful to come down to some ground rules that everybody lives by, for instance, laws and in this case the Geneva convention.

The idea is that then if someone decides to cross those lines that you try them in court to see if a judge sees it the same way, if not off to the slammer you go.
Interestingly enough, Justice Thomas who wrote the majority opinion in the 2005 case that leaves it to the discretion of the FCC to determine if ISPs should be "utilities" now regrets his opinion and has suggested that the court review the implications of that ruling.

> Congress gave him that power - which I would argue was an abdication of authority vested in them.

Legislators assigning regulatory power to bureaucratic agencies is one of the cornerstones of modern democracies - it wouldn't work otherwise. Many of our legislators are barely qualified to send their own emails, let alone decide what is a telecom utility or how much ppb in drinking water is safe for a toxic chemical. Assigning that power to regulatory agencies allows experts to decide those issues in a neutral setting.

Pai's FCC aside, that structure prevented significant disruptions in the last four years and our country continues to function despite decades of increased partisanship and deadlock at the highest level.
Every newspaper that I've ever read does this. There will be a blurb on the letters page saying something like "We reserve the right to edit letters". It's clear to both readers and correspondents.

If you don't like the terms, don't engage.

Edited to add: newspapers in the UK take libel law seriously so you have some confidence they won't grossly misrepresent your views.
I also stopped drinking red bull not long ago because it would mess with my sleep cycle. I would not be tired late at night and stay up way too late. Then I would not get enough sleep and start the viscious cirle to drink more red bull.

I decided to stop when I my heart started racing randomly (im closer to 30 than 40) sometimes so I visited the doctor and they basically told me to stop drinking energy drinks and sleep more.

I have tried before to lower the amount but if I drink energy drinks I always end up in that bad circle. That said I love red bull. I love the taste, how clear my head gets whenever I drink it etc but I cannot drink it anymore because it is very harmful for my health.
I’m not disputing the value of collective effort.

I’m disputing our implementation that favors minority capture of collective effort.

Why do I need to be a “company”?

We already have a system of collective effort called “government”.

Why another layer of abstraction?

Why must they run on grandpa’s fiscal beliefs, and previously brokered debt servicing and network effects?
Agreed... but who is "you" in the sentence?

Unfortunately, it seems to me experts increasingly think that their domain is the only one that matters, so they (as experts) should make decisions without consulting on whether someone in a different field that might have more, better information.

Also, the "least-lethal way to fail" argument assumes that there aren't other lethal trade-offs coming from down stream impact in areas outside an expert's vision.
speaking of "Tech superiority," IMHO...
I still think that the Palm OS Centro that I used so many years ago was simply the best. The Nokias of that era just didn't compete.
I don't remember the cost but I really don't think it was at all expensive. I do remember that I could anything and everything with little gem. Sometimes I say I'd buy it again in a heartbeat if it had today's processing power.
Ah, the good ol' days....
Social networks we have a choice. I have lots of friends and family who choose not use certain social networks and the one that he's referring to is Twitter which isn't even in the top 10 of social networks in the US. Most of the USA don't have a choice in broadband providers.
A lot.

Not only can container ships carry a fuckton of containers, but investments have also been made in ports throughout the world to load/unload the cargo in these ships.

Freight trains might perhaps cater to a niche where they’re faster than ships but slower than airplanes. Or serve as a backup for essential commodities when there are snags with the global trade routes.

But ocean shipping is absolutely bonkers at the scale at which it currently operates. The ships are only getting more massive.
I work in marketing at a startup, and have worked at several in the past.

I'm not sure what startups you've worked for that beg you to take their money - maybe I've been working for the wrong startups!

I have, however, had startups pay me good sums of money for providing a skillset. Marketing at a startup is a different animal than marketing at a large corporation - you must be able to handle SEO, SEM, investor buzz, brand awareness, customer support (in many cases), audience research, and a general plan for pushing out the product.

Your ability to 'cold-start' a product will be crucial - you'll need to figure out how to target early adopters, reach out to press, etc. Having a good rolo-dex of connections helps here.

It's wrong that there's 'no demand' for marketing in startups, but it's hard to make blanket statements, as interest in early marketing depends on the type of the startup. Usually, UX/Graphic Design is hugely valuable. It's also important, however, to have at least some knowledge of the tech you're working with - it helps you make rational decisions and not recommend things that are technically near-impossible.
Techno-thriller paranoid take on it- $25k chips can only plausibly be used in high stakes room , which is probably considerably less anonymous than the general floor. Assume everyone playing with high stakes chips are photographed and kept in a database, probably a relatively small db at that. Facial recognition software would be a given in such a case, and even if identities are not kept with faces, the face of someone using 25k chips could easily be checked against everyone who has ever bought or won 25k chips. Might not even need software for that, just manually check if the list is short enough.

Now you don't need rfid at all, just good records.

There's only one place to get 25k Bellagio chips, and only one place to cash them in. Those chips have to be considered worthless in all practical ways.
Pizza Hacker suggested to my gf to try out cooking a pizza on the oven's Self-Clean cycle, as it'll get hotter than maxing out the dial.
That'd be... because he's a vagrant.
Tried it several times on a Windows Box without success. Had troubles trying several Ruby versions, neither version worked.
That works, but unless the router manufacturer has a sub-CA of a CA present in all browsers, the above "extra tech support" is very true. And those sub-CAs are expensive.
This is true. I spent the last week almost completely absorbed in an interesting UI design/implementatiom problem, keeping me online but crazy productive for the time. That, combined with a scuba diving course meant I was practically out of blogs and microblogs the whole week.

But of course sometimes you also have to do the boring stuff, and then tricks like this can help.
Haha, how far can it go? ;-) People pay me $100000, I make them a logo? Ah, hang on, that's what big name agencies do already.

P.S. Unless this is a parody, a casino/money theme with a black background is an... interesting route brand-wise.
This is an important point for me as well.
Not sure on other platforms, but on web, it does support composition.
I think this say more about who is and is not part of the dominant cultural forces right now.

My guess is that people more likely to be censored or punished for speaking their views are more pro-free speech, while those who's views happen to align better with the cultural zeitgeist are fine with censorship because it affects them less.
I think that the (biggest) problem with NFTs is that they grant no rights that are recognized by the governments of the world - the people who can help enforce your ownership.

Worse, they require no rights to create. You don't have to be a copyright holder to create an NFT, you just need a URI.

Your ownership of an NFT implies nothing about your ownership of the referenced object in real life (physical or digital).
Getting an OS on a laptop shouldn't be this much trouble.
I think baseball cards is the best comparison. People pay this much because it's official, it's a collectors item. You could make a nice color copy, but it will not be the same, even if the copy is hard to distinguish.

The world is moving to digital. Kids play with digital things more than with physical. So how can you own a digital collectors item? Best solution seems NFT.
Yep...

On aliexpress, pretty much every thing is now "xiaomi"... from towels, toothbrushes to manicure sets..... Sometimes looking at review photos and trying to look for bad-quality marks helps... sometimes, sadly... not.
