Are you talking about the ability to NXDOMAIN *.example.com while also whitelisting this.example.com? AFAICT dnsmasq cant do this, I'm interested if bind can. I have a simple DNS request forwarder half-written to deal with rule trees.

What I call MITMing is decrypting the payload by impersonating the server (or the client if needed) often with the help of a corporate browser that have been instructed to trust this lie.
Most of network security appliances do not work like that, and merely listen the traffic (usually mirrored, no need to be in the middle).

Pretending that this is OK is like pretending that it is OK to send passwords in plain text because "only a bunch of competent professionals could intercept them".

Anyway, Google have proven that this practice can be detected on the server and I'm confident HSTS+such server side detection will make this practice nothing but a waste of money within a few years .

IBM dont have a resources or Engineering problem. I dont think they lack talents either.

And their biggest problem isn't design.

It is their culture, and I would argue a lack of focus and direction.
Netflix tried operating their own DCs, and weren't good enough at it. Hence the move to the cloud.

They do have discounted pricing, and they get the agility to add a new region overnite.

Exactly this, especially for women, and people looking for a long term relationship. A week or three of conversation weeds out people who are just looking to hook up and impulsive people whose interest isn't that deep.

Lob (YC S13) Is Hiring a Head of Talent
Of course, and I do appreciate your reply. I was purposefully vague in my original wording because there is that niggling difference between "unphysical" and "not proved impossible" that I didn't want to get on the wrong side of. You have enabled me to speak more precisely about the subject in the future -- many thanks. My last reply was merely trying to place this information in context; that is to say not unphysical, but in the same category as stable wormholes, Alcubierre drives, FTL/time travel, and other such theories. And ultimately it seems like either the guy talking about graviton beams was either talking about something extremely far-fetched, or a great way to destroy large parts of the planet, or both.
Actually they do, and beyond that, the retina contains neurons that do the basic processing before travelling down the optic nerve to the brain. The retina is also basically brain tissue and is part of the central nervous system.
Alibaba suffers from two major problems. 1. It is riddled with scammers. 2. Many of the legitimate businesses don't actually answer queries. Alibaba has not done a good job of filtering scammers or in rating legitimate businesses. Maybe Amazon can do better. There is certainly an opportunity there. I think both American and Chinese businesses would welcome an Alibaba done right but maybe I'm overestimating Chinese company's willingness to accept a Western solution.

As an Asian man - If I was single and I "hit on" a woman on the street once a day, it's more likely than not I'll be in a relationship within the month. It's not that hard, I often wonder how easy it is for non-Asian men. Do you just turn on Tinder and find yourself sleeping with women within 24 hours?
Thank you in return for thinking through my suggestion :-)

Everything you said sounds fine, with the exception of what makes front-stabbing, front-stabbing.

I agree that maturity is important for giving constructive feedback; just as important, in my opinion, is closeness. That closeness is certainly achievable in a small startup, but the company scales, I have strong doubts that it will match the level of honesty Empathy, the company value, demands.

More to the point: when unleashed in a social context where all parties aren't friends, I believe that "true" honesty (concerning a person's work) will inevitably transform into front-stabbing (attacking a person via their work) .

If someone who I was not close with was uncomfortably honest to me in the middle of a meeting, in front of many other people, I would probably ask myself "Is this person saying this because I'm actually doing something wrong? Or is he just trying to make me look bad?"[1]

When many ears are listening and many eyes are watching, I know I would feel less inclined to reflect on her or his words, and more inclined to worry about my loss of face. Especially if this person has made a habit out of being vocally honest with others. In my opinion, maturity isn't 1:1 with morality; a person can act like an adult and also be ruthlessly ambitious enough to take advantage of and hurt others.

The deep, deep end of being uncomfortably honest among others in a workplace is a struggle session, where one person is in the middle of the room being berated by everyone else. No one wants to let it go that far, at least not initially, but I certainly believe the basic social lubricant of politeness must be valued, and applied in most contexts[2]

Privacy, maturity and closeness are the makings of a real heart to heart, where both sides can learn from each other. Missing one, or having any in deficiency and, as the company scales, the risk of front-stabbing grows exponential[3]. Said another way by a Wall Street Journal commenter: "You better not front-stab your boss."

[1] There was an article recently that surmised that all public apologies are purely P.R; any demonstration of heartfelt guilt is quickly exploited as an act of weakness, so the apologizer is as tightlipped as she or he can be. Can't seem to find it...

[2] Of course, the other deep, deep end is a Japanese firm where the knives are under the table instead of on the plates!

[3] It's 1:40a.m. in NYC so I hope I'm coming across as explaining my perspective instead of as some kind of internet troll.

Isn't the O(n^2) operation described in that thread happening only when the hosts file gets updated, and not with every DNS lookup? I would imagine even sequentially searching a local list of 350,000 entries, like the post describes, would still be extremely fast in the context of loading a web page.

But, that said, there can be a huge difference between how one might think things should work and what actually happens.

AWS and Heroku aren't really competitors. Firstly, since AWS is IaaS, whereas Heroku is PaaS, they target different users. More importantly, Heroku is built on top of AWS, so Amazon gets paid for all the resources used by Heroku apps.
I would guess language and general cultural barriers, spending much time in SEAsia, many of the (sometimes trivial) things western people expect from services are really hard for locals to "get" without outside (read western) guidance.

Just the tiniest bit of branding/marketing often sets someone miles apart from another otherwise equal local competitor.

> > ... I've removed a whole bunch of code from my own library

> You removed a bunch of code you understood, and added a bunch more code you don't understand, along with whatever technical debt, edge cases, and performance issues which are lingering in that library.

Not all code you've written is good code. Hell, not all code you've written you actually understand. Libraries and dependencies make sense in many cases. Don't write yet another JSON parsing library unless you really need to.

> Adding a library is never removing code from your project, it's adding code you don't yet understand to your project. It can still be a net win, but it's not less code for you to maintain.

It's referencing code that you don't maintain. If the maintainer is bad, use a different library.
Nah, Kafka is more banal.
I had this problem, and solved it by giving discounts. Hopefully, your pricing will allow this. It is fairly standard to see a notation on an invoice like 1/10 net 30

That means you will give a 1% discount if they pay in 10 days, or the entire undiscounted invoice is due in 30 days. This made a huge difference in my business, since all my customers wanted the discount.

I should add that I was doing projects and billing for projects for the Fortune 50 - with a good margin. So I'm not sure if this will apply to your customers.
That is a damn good point.

How did you pursue equanimity? Are referring to the Vipassana meditation 10-day course, and if so, how much did it contribute to your overall equanimity?
Good point. Money doesn't guarantee your success. You can still mess up a good thing.
Well they still own ( I think ) their CDN hardware. Which is essentially the Core and most heavy part of Global Video Delivery.
It was mentioned that during this event, three sun's mass equivalents were turned into gravity waves, I guess that means that matter particles were turned into gravitons.

But what happens to them? Is there any way to turn them back into matter? If not, then at some point, will all matter in the universe end up as gravitons?

Also, if an object moving through space creates gravitational waves, doesn't that violate the law that states that a non-accelerating object will not lose/gain any energy? Because if you have to emit gravitons as you move in space, and emitting them requires energy or matter expenditure, then an object moving through space will slowly lose all it's mass?

I understood how LIGO works but one question I have is, how did scientists conclude the gravitational waves they detected are from a collision of 2 black holes that happened before 1.3 Billion/Million years ago.

I think it's because it suggests that professional landlords / developers are using the platform to sidestep rent control laws, as opposed to regular people just renting out their homes while they are away on vacation.

I'm not sure what else to say besides that none of this rings true to me at all. I don't feel stomped in the face at all.

Your second paragraph resonates.

Were it not for friends, insightful books, and Meetup.com meetups, I'd be a lot more demoralized over the dating process. IRL social settings at least provide something beneficial, specifically meeting people who can become friends/industry connections and level up ones social skills. Thus even with hundreds of hours doing meetups can result in something beneficial even if it no potential is found, whereas solely doing online dating with little results can foster helplessness.
Is it free software? If so, can you add a link to GitHub or whatever so people can download it and run it on their own server.
I'm pretty sure that what I said not only does not assume that economic gains would automatically be reflected in salary, but indeed that it's entire premise is that economic gains from work are often not, automatically or otherwise, reflected in salary but instead captured by capital.

AWS has Elastic Beanstalk, which is a Heroku competitor.
Devils advocate: Suppose your stats are biased by a % of bad listings (fake, bad, etc.) that violate some rule. Would you want to include them in your numbers?

If having the correct statistics (i.e. excluding these bad listings) was important for regulatory or marketing purposes, then fixing this before the report is part of the fiduciary duty of the firm with its shareholders, so no surprise here.
I've been working as a programmer for a few years and I can't program very well. I can get things done but it takes longer as I'm constantly distracting myself. I want to contribute as well, particularly with compiling binaries and easier stuff but I don't know where to start.
The implication is that people are illegally listing multiple properties that they own or rent, but this analysis doesn't rule out the cases where someone hires a professional property manager to list their place on AirBnB while they're on vacation or away. That property manager will have multiple "whole home" listings but there's nothing illegal about it.

But we shouldn't expect an unbiased analysis from a site like insideairbnb.com, which is a partisan anti-airbnb advocacy project.

You have that backwards. Everything runs in AWS except serving raw video bits from very stripped down boxes in data centers around the world. Those boxes in the CDN do literally nothing but serve video files via https very quickly.
Not strictly true. Elastic Beanstalk is PaaS.

It's referring to a television show or station that is broadcast across the country, as opposed to one that is only broadcast within a single city or state. It's a term used reasonably commonly in Australia.
There was a code base where people wrapped glibc-functions. Most of the time it was straight calls to the corresponding functions in glibc, but they were called x... instead, so malloc became xmalloc, free became xfree, &c.

At one time there was a lot of zombie processes lingering for a long-ish time until the parent terminated and the zombies were reaped by init. I didn't bother to look at the implementation for xpopen, as I assumed it was just a call to popen. Turned out it wasnt; it was fork/exec with a socketpair turned into a FILE* with fdopen. The child was not waited for in xpclose.

I think there can be times when the facade pattern makes sense. I think there can be times when importing the world makes sense. I think there can be times when the opposite is true too. I think talking about these things in an abstract way can miss the point of the very insanity in some concrete solutions out there.
Ah. So 99% of the traffic doesn't flow through AWS.
But there are still too many javascript libraries out there!
You can still get the build with OpenJDK yourself i think, the reason they use Oracle JDK is that no body has access to it, bu having a build with Oracle JDK helps with this issue.
A huge number of rental tenants in NYC are not legally able to sublet. Hiring someone else to do it does not absolve them.
To expand on this somewhat, Airbnb likes to pretend their business is about the unregulated and largely legal practice of people renting out an extra room, or perhaps every once in a while their whole vacant home for a short period of time when they happen not to be home. What everyone suspects but struggles to prove without access to the data is that most of their business is people renting out apartments they don't live in but instead rent out full time. This potentially runs afoul of many laws, in some cities rent control rules may be the main issue, in others they may be considered an unlicensed hotel which could violate tax or zoning laws.
It's important to keep this in mind: For most companies, their infrastructure is the second largest expense after their employees. For Netflix, the cost of both pales in comparison to the content licensing (which in 2016 they have said is 6 billion). Cost isn't a huge concern, agility is far more important.

That being said, the all in cost for Netflix on AWS is still cheaper than trying to run nine datacenters around the world, which is what they would have to do to replace their usage of AWS.

We do not live in a post-scarcity world, and to say that we do shows a failure to understand the economic concept of scarcity.

If goods aren't scarce, they have no opportunity cost -- anyone in such a society could get as much, e.g., filet mignon as they want without sacrificing their ability to get quality healthcare, education, or consumer electronics.

Greater overall and per capita productivity isn't, and doesn't even approximate, post-scarcity conditions.

If we lived in a post-scarcity economy, "You Need A Budget" would fail, because you wouldn't.

(Note: not taking a position in this post, just describing both positions.)

Many people unhappy with AirBnB want to portray AirBnB as primarily a means for large-scale commercial landlords to circumvent regulations on hotels, renting, or subletting; such a depiction makes it easier to argue for more regulation. A large number of people posting multiple "entire home" listings would lend support to that depiction.

AirBnB wants to portray themselves as primarily letting individual people rent out their own property or rooms; such a depiction makes it easier to argue against existing or additional regulations. A large number of people posting only a single "entire home" listing, or listings of individual rooms in a home, would lend support to that depiction.

The site linked here claims that AirBnB removed many "entire home" listings from their site right before producing a report, and that the removed listings disproportionately reduced the number of listings by people with more than one "entire home" listing. The linked site further claims that those removals only occurred in NYC, and the graph suggests that the proportion immediately started growing again after the removals and subsequent report.
