Hypothetical:

Let's say you are a founder and VC tell you that you need to pay off someone to get a certain domain name that matches your startup name.

Let's say that someone knows how badly you need this name, and they charge you an absurd price.[1]

Finally, let's say your startup fails.

Question:

Who gets the domain name?

Considering the money that has been spent to get it, the domain name could be your startup's most valuable and liquid asset?

[1] "Absurd" because the cost of creating and maintaining a domain name (editing a zone file and running a DNS server) is quite low. In the early days of the www, domain names were registered for free. These days some people pay thousands of dollars for "domain names". Funnily enough, in some cases the names being "sold" for thousands of dollars are the same ones that were once given away for free. After one has paid a one-time, exorbitant "price" for a domain name, then they must pay the annual fee each year to keep the domain name registered. Usually this fee is under $100. Even the annual fee charged is far above the cost of creating and maintaining a domain name.

Maybe I should start a new TLD, e.g., ".startup".

I could distribute a copy of root.zone with .startup added.

I could give away a free, preconfigured localhost DNS cache, freeing users from ISP provided DNS, open resolvers like Google and Cisco (OpenDNS), and most importantly freeing them from the ICANN racket.

Then I could give away domain names for free, upon a proper showing of need. No hoarding.

Nah, it would never work. No one wants "alternative" TLD's.

(I wonder how much pure profit .io has made in recent years.)
Thanks, I'll watch that tonight!
We do millions of lookups per day. We do not use Maxmind.
To simplify all that, take just the ideas of likelihood and impact. Now, draw a quadrant. Put likelihood on one axis, impact on the other - worry about the things in the upper right.

I have never before seen a discussion on risk management that didn't start by drawing out that quadrant.
I manage SSL operations at Google and, as far I can tell, this is all nonsense.

It's too long to deal with point-by-point, but I can do a few:

* It's not odd that a cert for * .google.com would be served for google.fr. Check the SANs.

* Google does not use EV certificates.

* Google's frontends have many IP addresses. Seeing differences at different times and places is normal.

* Our leaf certificates really are issued for only a few months.

* We will be off SHA-1 by the end of the year but, at the time the article was written, one certainly could have received a SHA-1 signed certificate from us.

* http://clients1.google.com/ocsp is our OCSP responder and, yes, you'll get 404 unless you send a correct OCSP request with a Host header.
Looks cool and interesting. But it's Java so I won't be using it. While it may the right tool it's not something I can easily deploy with low to no overhead.

>Mathematical truths and objects are real things with existence independent of our minds

What makes you say this? Isn't this an open philosophical question? What makes you say that mathematical objects exist independent of our minds? I can dream up a set of axioms of my own and do maths from there, so I don't think mathematics necessarily exists in some Platonic ideal dimension independent of our minds.

I think it is. I've not tested their quality, but saw their pricing - buy credits then they get used up per API call, similar to Twilio's per minute deductions from a credit. If the OP has a way to best MaxMind's quality,and can charge, that'd be good. But the OP was talking about a 'free' model, which I'm not really interested in.
Debit card number is not your IBAN, right? Because that's the only number on my bank card and it never works (because all forms want your "credit card" number, I thought).

this was the main point of my comment.

before they were a browser maker. everyone knew them for that. the work from their team shone.

now they are skin makers. and a unknown ad network.

the work of both their awesome browser devs and ad servers are mostly unknown to anyone. it all goes to google fame in the end. or do you think people outside of this very small circle of browser developers read release notes and credits?! heck you had to link to a source tracker.

nobody knows what is the opera browser anymore, because, i was one of them, you use opera because of feature X and Y. then you install Opera 13 over opera 12, and... you have a trimmed down version of chrome! you don't have your loved feature X. Nor feature Y. and some features from chrome haven't even made it to opera 13! so you just go to chrome and forever give up feature X and Y (not sure why so many people do that), or you move forward to firefox and have incomplete versions of X and Y.

I doubt opera kept any user after 13.

You're probably overthinking it. Use SSH keys to log in, and if you want to lock things down further than "admin users are simply in sudoers", then write a more complicated sudoers that permits only some commands for some users.

I don't think you can say of any topic in mathematics that it's the best example of why learning math is useful. What about calculus? It's an immensely powerful tool that, by harnessing the power of the infinite and the infinitesimal, unlocks a massive body of practical applications in nearly every field of quantitative knowledge. And what about discrete math? Without it there would be no such thing as a computer. Differential equations, the tool for modeling dynamical systems?

Mathematics is a vast topic that every quantitative discipline must necessarily draw from. Each field of study will benefit more from certain topics of it.

the gist is that he got his series A or B, on a french bank, frozen because the US IRS told them to, because he gave up his green card (not even a full citizenship yet!) to go back to his home france and start a company there.
Interesting article. I always thought math felt like programming but in a language far higher level than any of the available programming languages. So like programming but with a lot less friction when going from thought to symbols.

For example, creating new domain specific control flows with Lisp macros versus defining a Dirac delta function using limits and integrals. In programming it's easy for bugs to seep in because there are more little/subtle details and leaky abstractions. But math on the other hand feels much more abstract and clean.

Perhaps this is just because dumb silicon boxes interpret our code and humans interpret our math which gives us a much more sophisticated base language to work with.

>Mathematical truths and objects are real things with existence independent of our minds that we "discover," not just designed things.

While its almost certainly true that the content of mathematics is mind independent, it is far from obvious that these objects are "real things".The real meat of the issue is how exactly the mind-independence is cashed out. Different ideas paint a vastly different picture of mathematics and even the universe. For example platonism vs. nominalism. Lets not be so quick to put forward as an obvious truth the critical issue in question.

seems like the amount of malware able to escape through an up-to-date firefox, running with ublock/umatrix, running in an up-to-date linux distribution, running inside an up-to-date virtualbox should be very, very small: in the end of course nothing is fully secure, but IMHO unless somebody has to fear state-level actors firefox + ublock/umatrix + virtualbox is more than good enough

Of course this does not mean doing all of the browsing within the same vm, multiple vms for different things (banking, development, internet radio with flash, ...) after all RAM at least on the desktop is still fairly cheaply available, and on laptops one can still run a few browsing vms in 16gb if the need arises.
I just came here to point out the same thing. This is just the ramblings of someone with a medium level of technical experience and a high level of paranoia drawing some very odd conclusions.
Context: I never did too well in statistics, and in general I was always pretty bad at understanding simple Math notation like sigma notation, multi-variate calc, or linear algebra.

Here's the Hokusai paper: http://www.auai.org/uai2012/papers/231.pdf

And here's an implementation: https://github.com/dgryski/hokusai

For me to understand the paper, I had to go through the code to piece out the Math jargon, even though the Math behind it is really quite simple. Another way of saying this is, "I'm dumb," sure. Not gonna argue with anyone there.

Though I still think it's curious why it's easier for me to understand a concept through code than it is through Math. It's sort of reminiscent of when you first learned Algebra, your teacher would tell you to replace the variable with an easy number and work through it to understand the mechanics of equations.

I think code is an example of that - literally working through the mechanics of algorithms to understand what they actually do and how they work.
"The powerful GPU."

You've been sold the idea that a "powerful GPU" needs to suck a lot of power all the time.

There is no real reason a "powerful GPU" shouldn't be able to scale its power usage way down when doing something simple like browsing the web. The only reason NVidia weren't able to do the "low power" thing on these systems is they weren't able to be the ones putting their GPUs on the same die as the CPU like Intel (& AMD) were. But of course they still wanted part of the action, so people ended up being sold this massive engineering bodge and told it's a good thing.

why do they care that much? coke zero tastes fine, the energy from caffeine means you would move that much more, the fact that something sweet has filled your stomach means you're not eating something with calories in it. diet coke and coke zero are above and beyond coke's calorie-responsible choices - and they're marketed very heavily and available everywhere, even mcdonald's.

exercise is super-important, as are food calories from stuff like hamburgers and fries, that don't HAVE a diet version.

why does Coca-Cola care so much? Article would make more sense if it read "mcdonald's", but that's not what's stated - it says it's about coke.

it just doesn't make that much sense to me. where's coca cola's incentive?

(fwiw I thought I'd mention I have absolutely no disclaimer to make, no connection whatsoever with coca cola.)
What do the Shanley Kanes of the world contribute?
I've always thought it would be an interesting -- but not technically difficult -- project to do a data scrape of PubMed.gov and simply count up and classify all of the studies that contain a conflict of interest disclosure...but while the scraping would be easy, I'm not sure how accurate or complete the disclosures are.

For example, from the OP:

> Last week, the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Louisiana announced the findings of a large new study on exercise in children that determined that lack of physical activity “is the biggest predictor of childhood obesity around the world.”

> The news release contained a disclosure: “This research was funded by The Coca-Cola Company.”

This is the link to the press release, which contains the Coca Cola disclosure in the last line:

https://www.pbrc.edu/news/?ArticleID=284

The press release links to the PubMed page for the study: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26173093

...Maybe I'm missing it but I don't see the Coca-Cola disclosure in the PubMed abstract. However, the Coca-Cola mention is in the full text of the study: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/enhanced/doi/10.1002/oby.2115...

(note: this above link is visible for me because I'm on a university network. It may not work for you otherwise)

On the other hand, the full text of the study also mentions the ClinicalTrials.gov ID number: NCT01722500.

Which means it can be found here: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01722500

So maybe the data collection approach should begin with ClincalTrials.gov, which does have endpoints intended for convenient bulk data analysis: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/resources/download
> "the best you could hope for in the next few decades is something that is outperformed by actually exercising or practicing calorie restriction"

That would still be a monumental achievement (probably in the billions of dollars range) if a practical treatment came out of it. Most health costs don't come from healthy people, after all. A lot of people don't exercise and very few people practice calorie restriction.

But if there is other research that would work better, then the opportunity cost is high too.
No, you're signaling weakness because you don't change the name to something that doesn't cost 5 grand to get the .com for.

That's what the article says at least.

Diet remains the single most important factor when it comes to weight management. Two cookies can erase the calories burned from jogging for 1 hour. People routinely overestimate the calories burned from exercise and underestimate the calories that are in food, especially sugary foods. On top of that, exercise can increase your appetite, resulting in a net positive calories if you're not careful.

Exercise provides a myriad of benefits, the most important actually contributing to mental health. But if you are looking to lose weight, a proper and healthy diet should be your priority.

That is not at all what the Incompleteness Theorems actually say. They say literally nothing whatsoever about what sorts of structures you can implement inside a given foundational theory, except that there will always be more, because given any foundational theory, you can construct two more foundational theories as extensions (one in which the Goedel statement is unprovable, and one in which the theory believes it's inconsistent).

This is kind of a straw man, isn't it? I realize the article leads with "exercise in a pill," but it's really about a compound that might help treat obesity and type 2 diabetes. Effect on lifespan/healthspan is only implied (via treatment of disease).

Edit: you might also want to be a little more up-front about your apparent involvement with alternative avenues of research.
As more people realise the connection between high calorie diets and weight gain.

Fixed that for you, although it should not be a novel realization.
Not everyone agrees that Coke Zero and Diet Coke taste just fine, or at least, not everyone is happy with the low-calorie alternatives to choose them over regular Coke. And so this directly impacts Coca-Cola's bottom-line:

- http://fortune.com/2015/04/22/diet-coke-sales-fizzle/

- http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonkblog/wp/2015/03/23/am...

I'm too lazy to do number-hunting right now, but those articles state that the total revenue of all low calorie soda sales is in the $7.0 billion range (and declining). Sales for the Coca-Cola company alone is $45+ billion.

So even if Diet Coke is a healthy solution and alternative to regular Coca Cola, its sales are nowhere near enough to sustain the company. Thus, the allegation that Coca-Cola can potentially benefit from a mindset that high caloric intake is not the main cause of obesity.
> Not everyone likes the taste of coke zero

Well, there's literally no accounting for taste. Coke Zero is a fantastic tasting diet soda.

> others perceive it to be harmful due to the artificial sweeteners

These people should be ridiculed, like Jenny McCarthy is, since there's no reputable scientific or epidemiological basis for their beliefs.
So to be clear, if someone was talking about "male tears" or saying that all white people were [X], you believe that this code of conduct would be enforced against those people?

Because I don't. If the CoC was genuinely designed to oppose discriminatory behavior against everyone, why would its authors be clinging so tightly to this bit of language that could be interpreted as greenlighting certain types of discrimination? It's unnecessary, so why not remove it?
That's true, and is its own problem for science...but for this situation, it'd only be enough that the clinical trial is registered and accurately reports its sponsors, regardless of its results.

It's silly to imagine that Coke is doing something nefarious (like Phillip Morris denying that smoking causes lung cancer, or Exxon Mobil FUD-ing solid climate science) by encouraging people to get more exercise so that they can consume what they want.
