I think this is one of two immediate problems with fracking, the other being that there's far too little oversight when wells are being drilled, so we have no idea whether they've been cemented properly. Most of the problems we've had in PA have resulted from poorly cemented (and thus leaky) wells.
At a minimum, add some caching in front of WordPress. Even a 1 minute cache of pages will result in being able to host your WordPress site just about anywhere. Throw in a CDN, and you could almost host it on a Raspberry Pi and throw Reddit at it.
That's the gist. I am a Flink fan, but I get the impression it's still in the research and development phase...although rapidly approaching a potentially production-level quality.

That said, Storm is Event-streaming processing which is usually the focal point of most comparisons between Flink and Spark Streaming.

I realize you are likely being rhetorical, but in case you aren't, Ballmer recently said that Linux is not a threat, and likely has not been a threat, even if he thinks that Microsoft did what it needed to do to survive at the time he called Linux a "cancer". [1]

More importantly, Ballmer was not wrong in saying that Microsoft's focus as a company has been and should always be "Developers, Developers, Developers" and everything about this Ubuntu on Windows effort is for Developers.

I had a similar thing happen with my Battle.net account. I forgot to transfer over my authenticator backup code when I switched password managers last time. I had to send them a photo of my driver's license next to my face and another one of it next to a physical newspaper with the date on it. This seems like a much better process for recovering accounts that matter.
The decimation of bird populations by wind turbines is somewhat exaggerated. Wind turbines do kill birds, but not remotely as many as powerlines, windows, cats or cars do: http://science.howstuffworks.com/environmental/green-science...

So while it is an issue, it's not remotely as much of an issue as other technologies that everybody takes for granted and nobody complains about.

You're assuming people know what type of genitalia other people in the restroom have.

I don't understand the type of restrooms you use. When I use the restroom I do not inspect the genitalia of my fellow men. I'm pretty sure women don't do that either. If this is happening in the restroom you utilize you need to find other restrooms.

Under your rules someone who looks, acts, and dresses like a man will be forced (by law!) to use the women's restroom. This actually causes all of the problems you mention. I do not understand your reasoning.

That comment I made refers to data integrity across platforms. You should be smart about data, no matter where it arises, if it is important to you.

For example, let me give you a look at what my Windows hard drive looks like.

My important files are stored locally, on Dropbox, and on CrashPlan. Some is also on Google Drive. I also run an offsite backup of my own to another local Linux box.

Don't make this specific to Namecheap, @kelukelugames. It's always smart to have good recovery systems in place. If you care that much about your data, you will protect it at whatever cost.

So yeah, I repeat, better to be safe than sorry. Your mileage may vary.

Fair enough. someone could mirror my site's content, and we wouldn't have the ability to check where it's going.

However, that's not too much an issue. we don't offer binaries (outside of two pdf files that may have a jpg embedded), and nothing on our Onion site requires a download. The most they could really do is make someone give bitcoins to the wrong wallet. That's a pretty easy customer service issue to solve ("We are not responsible for bitcoins sent to wrong wallets").

the swell thing about "OOP" is how ill-defined and vague the notion can be. just like "correct OOP" and "incorrect OOP".

as a consequence, discussions can go back and forth, frequently resulting in little but gymnastic displays of equivocation and red-herrings. when the dust settles, surprisingly little communication has occurred.
Well put. Carl Woese figured this out back when sequencing 20 base pairs was a feat (now 20 million is routine). This paper seems to be fine-focus of his concepts using tools he'd only have dreamed of using in the 1970's. He's a hero.

I purchased the Lifetime Upgrades in September 2015. Now it tells me there is a $25 upgrade fee to go to version 5. I emailed support a few hours ago to confirm. If this is true, I am extremely disappointed and feel cheated. Notice on the form to buy a new license it doesn't say anything about "Lifetime Upgrades for this major version _only_ which will be obsolete in a few months". I sure hope this is just a bug that they will fix.

When I was in college, I took my girlfriend on a summer vacation. We were both broke, so we decided to camp out along the CA coast. My car was on its last days, and the transmission didn't feel right, but we wanted that vacation. She was a great sport, as I tried to make it work.

It seemed like nothing was working as I planned, except the sight of her in that bikini. I had a bunch of camping equipment, and thought, "Ahh--this will be a breeze. I'll just pitch a tent when the sun goes down. First night--ticket. (The state parks, private parks are completely filled months in advance by smart travelers. I had no idea they were so popular.)

Second night--I ended up in Hotel California. I believe in Santa Barbara. The hotel was horrid, but it looked nice from the outside.

There she was this beautiful, innocent blond, sitting on the edge of the bed. She said, "Well--at least we won't get hassled by the cops?". I went to get dinner, and even bought a candle. This was our first vacation together, and nothing worked out.

Out of feeling bad about the room, I told her a lie. A lie over Chinese food, and the candle.

I told her this is where the musicians stayed when they wrote that song--Hotel California. The look on her face was priceless. I was in too deep, and couldn't tell her the truth.

I remember limping my Chevy back home. I still can't get her out of my mind though. I remember she wore a bikini, and wondered why people were looking. Yes--she was that innocent. We went shopping, and I bought her a one piece bathing suit. I told her this is the fashion here. I lied again. I have no idea what she saw in me.

I actually do wonder how many people refrained from using this mailing list because of the underwear color requirement, because I honestly suspect it to be literally zero, and would be fascinated by any other answer.
I don't see how that can be the biggest lesson. Someone at the service provider bypassed their own protocols in order to hand control of the system over to an unauthorized user. Even with local backups he would have needed to restore the servers because Namecheap royally screwed up.

Yes, you should always have more backups than you need. But wouldn't you be moving to a different provider after something like this anyway?
When the product is an unmanaged VPS, I think certain assumptions can (hopefully) be made about the capabilities of the customer.

Forgive me if this has already been said, but I think the entire issue of safe spaces, micro aggressions, trigger words, privilege, and so worth, is about one thing: POWER.

I believe those involved believe they have been historically, and continually, victimized, by the system, citing whatever majority they wish to define as their oppressors. All of the political correctness, and hostility towards free speech and expression, is a way for those groups to exert power over their "oppressors", and give them a feeling that they are in control. It's all about power.

This is not to say that their concerns are unjustified, but the method in which they seek justice lies more in power and retribution than healing and cooperation towards a better society.
One can explain by analogy, but arguing by it is not productive.

You're basically advocating for security through obscurity.

A standardized process design could be carefully examined and improved to plug the holes, so all you're left with are implementation bugs. You'll never get there with a thousand disparate processes: they'll have design and implementation bugs, as well situations where system compromises data used to secure another.

Plus, standardized processes would allow implementation of more expensive processes. For instance, you could have a higher-grade fallback "prove who you are" process that involves going to some designated office in-person with all the right documents. Not even Google would pay to setup such offices in every city, but if Google, Amazon, Online Banks, etc. all would use it, it might be possible.

Let's not introduce victim mentality here.

- gym memberships start from $10/month (optional, there are plenty of body-weight exercises you can do outside of gym).

- running costs nothing (in recurring fees).

- all you need is 1 hr/day, 3-4 times a week.

It is all really about knowledge and motivation.

I am not saying it is easy, but it has nothing to do with money.
I'm also curious about the choice of LZ4. It's fast, but its compression is pretty awful.

For example, on simple, regular text (JSON) files I'm seeing about 45% worse compression than plain gzip (default compression level). I hope at least it's using the highest compression level, but I've found that "lz4 -9" is about as slow as "gzip -6", still with worse compression.

I'd be happier if the choice of compression was dependent on the size of files. The larger a file, the more you gain from compression.

Does Arq skip compression for already-compressed files (.gz, .xz, .bz2 etc.)?

It's not victim blaming. It's simply a reiteration that it helps to have this in place if you are specifically opting to rent/lease a server that does not offer it.

Also, it's stated in the knowledgebase that it is advisable to set up server backups of your own if you do not have a managed server: https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx...

Realistically, this is also true of most modern music. Sure it requires a bit more equipment, but with software amp simulation and the plethora of VST plugins you can get, you can almost always get a tone similar to your target for just a couple hundred dollars, at most. Combine with equipment and you're looking at maybe $600 in instruments/equipment and a basic mic for vocals. The only sticking point right now it seems is that drums are still notoriously hard to record, though MIDI/software drums are extremely realistic, and even beyond that. It's extremely easy to find a random stranger on the internet that likes your style and happens to be a drummer with all the equipment for recording drums.

And then again, EDM is cheap, but it can be extremely time consuming if you're going cheap. Good synths don't just build themselves and there's a reason people buy virtual instrument packs.
The old ways of playing local and building a following are still available. Maybe you won't see the same crazy success numbers a teenage girl dancing around with a violin on YouTube can get, but that's the fuggin lottery anyway.

Disclaimer: I'm [not] CIO @ Namecheap

We messed up, big time. While we handle 1000s of live chat sessions everyday without issue, I realize that even one breakdown in security protocol can cause huge problems and a loss of trust for our customers.

In response to this isolated case (in which our established procedure was not followed), we will be creating additional training material for all our live support staff. Additionally, we will be exploring technical solutions to try to make this kind of breakdown much harder. Mistakes happen, but if we can prevent them, it is worth doing.

We also would like to take this opportunity to remind folks that any self-managed server (regardless of provider) should always be backed up in multiple places. For information on how to do this with Namecheap, we've published a guide here: <link>

I've reached out to author of the post already by email and we are working to help them resolve any outstanding issues.
Windows 7 has this included. They discontinued it for 8 and 10, I guess it was harming the backup market.
Agreed. Even though Hacker News obviously leans towards articles about programming and such, I was half-hoping this was an article about grammar.
So kill the earth as long as it helps America in the short-term and it's the more affordable option?

I'm personally a libertarian and I find it funny that the left has spent damn near a half century getting people hysterical about global warming, telling them it's the greatest threat to humanity, and then they don't really take the measures that scientists/researches claim we need to take against climate change, and now they want to expand fracking because the easily obtainable natural gas isn't enough for them -- we gotta burn all the oil.

I think the oil/gas industry have bought many members of congress (even Hillary agrees with this) and that's why their sector of the economy is always finding new ways to "innovate". If the green/clean energy industry was paying republicans money they would be the ones in an economic and regulatory environment that's conducive to innovation.
one downside being that you risk creating obscured islands of mutable state, complecting engineering efforts.

Re: Your edit - just a note, it is very clear here that in points 1-4, Namecheap has acknowledged a mistake. That's exactly why there was a lot of training (and retraining) internally to ensure this mistake does not recur. But we do acknowledge it is an isolated incident. That doesn't mean it's not less important - we're fully aware of what happened here and it will not recur.

We don't need to frack to obtain natural gas though.

Imagine you just lost two servers you can't replace, or you're a potential customer reading this thread, and are afraid of the same.

This is what they read as the company's response to this loss:

"Anyone with any self-managed server with ANY provider should always keep their own multiple backups. Dumbass."

Note the change I made at the end to reflect how some people [who are empathizing with someone who was attacked and lost their property] will interpret that statement. Did any of that statement help the situation at all? Did it help customers feel better? Or did it have the opposite effect? Would this be considered a good way to engender goodwill for your brand?

Now consider this reinterpretation of the statement:

"With self-managed servers, it is good best practice to keep multiple backups for yourself, no matter who your service provider is."
I think you're drastically underestimating the environmental cost of coal power if you think the damage done by Fukushima is incompatibly larger.

Currently[1] the radiation in the evacuated area is as high as 3uSv/hr which works out to 26 mSv/yr. That's a lot compared to what most of us get but it's lower than the permitted dose for nuclear plant workers and it's much lower than the inhabitants of Ramsar, Iran, experience and they don't have a particularly higher cancer incidence than other populations. That doesn't necessarily mean that there isn't a lot of cleanup to do or that there aren't hotspots to stay away from but the area that's uninhabitable is very small.
