Preface: I have only little knowledge aboud DNS records. Feel free to correct or add any information.

Here is what 10 minutes on the internet got me:

- According to Wikipedia [0] DDG started 2008

- The whois record shows 1995 as creation date (I assume this is the first time someone registered it back then?)

- According to [1] the Domain changed owners 3 times (since 2002); These records indicate Google bought the domain latest in 2010

- According to [2] DuckDuckGo Traffic 2010 was between 40k-80k quries per day (~0.5 - 1 QPS)

Unfortunately, this doesn't allow (me) to draw a clear conclusion. (If duck.go were bought in 2005 or 2015, it would have been more clear...)

It's kind of strange for them to use the word "pampered" when a large number of the perks are basically ways for the company to justify using more of the employees "free" time by taking care of many of the day-to-day practicalities that could take them off-site, like laundry and cooking, or exercise and getting a professional to work those neck muscles to reduce the stiffness from working at a computer for 10+ hour days. I'm sure if some of them could hire a lower wage worker to sleep for them, they'd probably do that too.

I don't envy the SV crowd much, but many of the perks are about maximising the amount of time the employees can work over most other considerations. And looked at through that lens, very few of the "perks" a really much in the way of pampering.

Now that's how you do a UI.

And they're running this for free, while Amazon and Netflix are supposed to be spending billions on this.
I've got a 1998 Fujitsu laptop that is on 24/7, displaying a digital watch on an old 17" LCD monitor. It's so old it doesn't even have a fan, so it's completely silent(I've also replaced the hdd with a CF->IDE adapter with a 1GB CF card), and it runs Windows 95. I think it's a Pentium MMX 166Mhz + 64MB of ram. I guess nowadays a raspberry pi could do the same job with a slightly lower power consumption, but I've been using that laptop this way for years, so I feel bad about retiring it now.
I believe it's been true since the language first saw light.

I didn't get to it until around v7.x around 1995 and lists feature prominently in Osterhout's book.
You are thinking about things in exactly the wrong way.

For every 1 story increase in building height in a San Francisco apartment complex, there is 10 less houses that have to be build in Suburbia.

10 parcels of land that can now be converted to national parks, and public spaces.

People need a place to live whether you like it or not.

We can either make room for them in the cities, by increasing density and building height limits, or we can stand by and watch as urban sprawl continues to destroy our environment.

Wow, I did some work on this many years ago. It was adding some visualizations using QGraphicsView, and sponsored by Google Summer of Code. It was my first "real" programming project.

Unfortunately I never had a use for Orange. Even while I was working there, nobody could tell me who uses it. There was some cancer research paper from the same team who wrote the software, I think about identifying which genes cause cancer, but nothing else I could find.
I did this, but with Plex (I am a Plex user across multiple devices). I use the computer in clamshell mode with HDMI to my living room TV.

Also, I use Rowmote[0] to control the computer -- an old Macbook -- from my phone and run OpenEmu[1] next to Plex for a home arcade solution. I use a Bluetooth PS3 controller for the arcade. SNES works great with Sixaxis controllers, N64 is possible. Havent tried Dolphin[2] yet... But looking forward to it.

Late 2011 MBP for the curious, runs great for the above uses.

Good idea but remember that old computers were not much power efficient. In this and other scenarios you should evaluate how much you'll pay for power and compare it with the cost of a new appliance plus its probably smaller power bill. I confess I didn't research media center solutions but in this case a HDMI compute stick would probably consume far less power than a Core 2 Duo laptop (you might have something more power efficient). You must add the cost and power bill of the storage, unless it's already available and on for all the time you'll use the media center.
Yep. Having (mis)read "A Monetary History of the United States" as an undergrad and having done an actual research paper on "why was there a Depression" by interviewing older relatives in the 1970s, I was extremely receptive to Sumner's ideas.

And your point about the oil shocks - and WIN buttons - also contributed to this.
When I was 16, I was 130. That's after I spent three years in the weight room every day putting on muscle. I played every sport my school offered at least once, but I played football for 8 years. I never regretted it and I encourage everyone, especially the indoor geeky types, to try out for sports. Any sport. Even historical sword fighting. ;) It's an important experience that fewer kids are getting exposed to in this day and age thanks to helicopter parenting. Not to mention the life long social and health benefits
Developers have a nasty habit of gutting nature and tearing apart the land for a quick cheap buck. And after working for several doing their I.T. work and thus being on the "inside" of their decision making practices, I can tell you they're disgusting parasites. They're the LAST people you want tearing up your countryside to put in cheaply built apartments or even suburban homes.

A good "outliner" can take you very far. You can start with a good, logical outline for what you want to write, then just fill in what you need.

There are also tools like https://gingkoapp.com which helps with structured writing and allow to move or "reattach" entire subtrees of a document.

My personal favourite is to use lots of separate text files (.md or .tex) and a top level "main file" which includes the desired sections. I find a single level of includes works best since you can see exactly what is going on in the main file, whereas if you include files that include other files, things get complicated real quick!

Pro tip for working with multiple .tex files: if you start each of the included .tex files with

%!TEX root = mainfile.tex

the multi-file authoring experience becomes much better ;)
> Do you feel stunted or unsatisfied because your ancestors didn't pass their native tongues down to you?

Yes, although I realize that I'm likely in the minority. That's why I started learning one of them at the first opportunity. I feel like it helped solidify one aspect of who I think I am.

Learn a few languages. Learn the variations in connotation that different grammars provide. Learn that the way you structure your thoughts in one language don't fit naturally into another language.

Language provides an imperfect conduit for communication, and every language is imperfect in a unique way. Knowing a few unrelated ones gives you a basis for comparison and contrast.
Unless there exists _any_ kind of unemployment - in that case people will travel for a ridiculous amount of time just to have a job, thus ruining their chances of a decent private life.

Things do not just adjust themselves as in the theories, weaker people are just squeezed harder. When they can't be squeezed any more, things _may_ change - but when is that?

The working poor are a pretty good example of this.
This looks like a great project! Although the name pronounced in my head (for me at least) looks like "Eunuch" so slightly unfortunate (I see on the page it is pronounced unique, but just thought I would point that out).
Laptops make great low-power 'servers' for soho needs, all in a slim form factor. Obviously won't do if you need grunt, but for light work they're great. They even come with their own Uninterruptible Power Supply and local console!
I assume you've looked at Amazon EC2? They offer VMs at a wide variety of price/performance points.

There are cheaper options, but they all involve a lot more work, IMO (especially if you may need to deploy and remove servers regularly, as it sounds like you might).

Edit: they have a free tier, which may be enough to get you started.
> The filter bubble puts artificial divides between people...

I don't think the "filter bubble puts artificial divides" that didn't already exist. I also don't think anything gets "put," or that anything is "artificial," or that there are actual "divides," or that there exists a "filter bubble."

Facebook didn't program something called "filter_bubble.php." Facebook uses a privacy-sensitive collaborative filtering approach to selecting newsfeed items for you. If you're describing the consequences of collaborative filtering for the average person as "filter bubble," then you're describing a human condition that an average person is interested in collaboratively-filterable things. There exists a population for whom the newsfeed probably isn't that interesting, and I bet they don't like Netflix, TV networks, organized categories in book stores, newspaper editorials, etc. either. "Filter bubble" is something that happens to people. Like 5 other commenters cover this ground.

I really object to this idea of "artificial." Really concretely, choosing what you read next based on what you liked about what you read before sounds super natural to me, at least for the average person. Again, there are people who look hard for "both sides," and I'm sure they love reading Consumer Reports, CQ Researcher and Wikipedia Talk Pages all day. I just don't know if the minority behavior is the natural one. Notice there's no algorithm involved here. Whether its Facebook's C.F. or whether it's just you choosing what to read based on what you liked about what you read before, you get the same result. So even if you think C.F. (and basically what everyone does) is "artificial," I wouldn't peg it on Facebook.

And puts? Who forces anyone to read anything?

I don't think anyone gets divided. You might mean becoming less uncertain / more committed to your position. But neutrality is just a vote for the status quo—still taking a side. I think you mean political and social divisions, and what you're discovering maybe is that everyone actually has them, you just didn't know what they were until you could read people's Facebook posts.

> a movement could have popped up

Have some perspective. In _your_ bubble, you'll think "movement." But there are like a billion Facebook users. Hardly any of them—maybe 0.01%, or 100,000 people—will have any idea what an "anti-SJW," "safe zone" or whatever actually means. There's no movement.

Ummm, if it's going to be hit by more than one thread, you should lock it. I don't see how this is GCC's fault, wait till you learn about write barriers.
On the other hand, this is also a sign of a better functioning market than the rest of health care.

You can actually get a good estimate on the cost of dental work, before it's completed, so you can compare prices. It seems like many procedures have a basic standard, so I would expect similar results from dentists of similar experience with similar facilities. Many dental procedures may be somewhat postponed, so you can shop around, and possibly plan a trip to a different locale. There are no import/export duties or other means of enforcing market segmentation.

I'm not surprised that dental procedures in the US are more expensive -- skilled labor is more expensive, some procedures take several hour and require the dentist, maybe a second dentist, and one or two assistants.
You can still respond optimally in a local sense, that is derive a dominant strategy. It will take longer than an agent that is not reflective though, at least by one sampling step.

The Real Story Behind Wayland and X – Daniel Stone (2013)
Thank you, I couldn't locate the tower without this.
From a personal perspective I can say it's just routine. I get used to training every day and I like training with intensity (more sprint than endurance) but alas after years of repetitive strain injuries I have toned down the training load. It was unhelpful in the long run anyway as I would train for 9 months then need to sit out for 3-6 months and be back at square one (usually shin splints). My body (knees especially) aren't thanking me for it but it's nothing that can't be fixed without a good chiropractor and lots of cross training (mainly cycling and weights but yoga/pilates, running and swimming too).

I learnt a lot from how a buddy who is/was a world class 24 hour mountain bike racer trains. His view is long term, building up fitness slowly over years. I do admit I find it much harder to maintain routine now that I have pulled back the training load.
Don't overlook DigitalOcean too soon. They charge by the hour, so you can snapshot and destroy your server when you're not using it.
Can it not use the Bayesian rule to update the prior?
On a sailboat "autopilot" generally means "keep this heading" or "keep this point of sail." I'm pretty sure in aviation it means "take me to this way point and elevation" or a sequence of such maneuvers. A plane flies itself or a boat navigates itself only so long as nothing unexpected occurs. In either case, a pilot must be standing by, maintaining awareness, ready to assume control and handle anything that may come up. I'm not sure what people think this means in terms of driving a car but I think it's early enough that Tesla can help define what this means.

Running makes you smarter – here’s how
Be careful assuming you understand how something works without having built at least a prototype.
The "corporation" you've described is a government. Literally.

A government (in the United States) is just a mechanism for an area's resident citizenry to express their collective will. Whether you call it "government" with "citizens", or a "corporation" with "shareholders", it's the same thing.
> So a young nomadic Mongolian girl and I (UK, middle-age, male, working in craft/retail) don't represent different cultures because we can both speak English?

I think the person you responded to went too far in their argument. I would've said that speakers of the same language can have very different culture, but that (in your example) the English-speaking Mongolian girl wouldn't be part of the same culture that she would if she were a Mongolian-speaking Mongolian girl.

Language doesn't dictate patterns of thought, but it certainly shapes them. A concept that might be easy to formulate in Mongolian may be difficult to formulate in English, and the reverse applies. People naturally use the patterns that the language encourages. With different patterns, different group behaviors tend to emerge, because they're easy to think about.

Simultaneously, the culture shapes the language to fit its needs. Given time and isolation, it will become more and more distinctly different.
Back when this article was written, plaintext transport across the internet would not be viewed as nearly the kind of security issue it is today. This wasn't just a shortcoming on Microsoft's part, it was a shortcoming on virtually the entire computer industry - which is, yes, why we are in the situation we're in today. Exactly none of the internet was designed to be secure by modern standards, and vulnerabilities that are obvious today were not obvious 20, 10, and even 5 years ago.
I'm a bit confused by this - I cannot even imagine how you would think in a way that is not linear when thinking about a story. Sure you might be thinking of various aspects that you want to include and you don't know where in the overarching story they will fit in, but still these aspects can be expressed in an order that is either linear or able to be broken down into smaller chunks that are also linear. Seems this article is talking about something different than this again..

Could someone enlighten me?
Vancouver also has a broken shelter system. There is too many completely insane people who are homeless, with drug addiction problems who stay at these shelters so nobody else goes there since it's dangerous. They sleep in tents or on the street in the open instead. There's also way too many rules, curfews and other nonsense. There's also rampant bed bugs, theft.. nobody in their right mind stays at a shelter.

What would really work is opening mental institutions and detox centers and moving those people into them and off the streets. Then the non addict homeless can actually get at services which currently are overloaded with chronic addicts and tent cities will disappear. That is of course until more homeless bus in from other cities without these services and the problem repeats itself.

The visible homeless I see everyday are crazy and are not there because of unemployment, they are there because some politician thought it would be a good idea to shut down the mental institutions and toss these people on the streets.
I think that the qualifier "if you're from one of the others" applies to your case.

People don't like to be proven wrong, or even presented with the possibility that they might be wrong, so we seek out people and media that validate our existing beliefs. Facebook just makes it a little easier by filtering things out you would engage with anyway.

Facebook isn't doing this to make our life more comfortable, not directly at least. It's a just a side effect of being obsessed with user engagement. By removing the things the user doesn't like, Facebook increases the chance that the user will stay on the site, and view more ads.

So many fail to understand that Facebook is a business, with all that entails. It's not a question of Facebook, or Mark Zuckerberg, being good or evil. It's purely about profitability of Facebook. If more people could understand that, then maybe they would be less outraged when ever Facebook makes changes.
Under your scheme I demand a penthouse room on a 100+ story high rise with a view of central park. The idea that everyone has a right to live anywhere they want is untenable and frankly idiotic. It's the same as saying everyone can have as much gold as they demand.

> This meshes perfectly with the general view of endurance athletes that performance is largely mental.

Most elite endurance athletes do not hit the lactic threshold during their actual races. That is why they train so much - to build their endurance. Once you hit the lactic threshold, your body starts to break down.
Let's start with an episodic structure. You can think of a few cool episodes or themes right? Then you expand on the episodes or themes while thinking on an overarching story. Afterwards you could fix continuity mistakes, fill in the blanks, expand or condense it.

This is bottom up design instead of top down. An episode is good if it can stand on its own, but there is no need to work on them in any particular order.

Think about it like a process of discovery. You can get an idea for a different part of the whole while working on something completely unrelated. Current note taking tools do not help with this - dumb post it notes are better.
So, you don't actually have an answer.
Good find! Was there any followup on that bone? That trip was March 18 2010 and it wasn't until the last week of November 2010 that the officials allegedly helicoptered their 4-5 man team in for an overnight to recover the remaining bones.

Further studying the trip log, the bone discovery appears to be early in their hike while they were still in Lost Spring Canyon. This is a considerable ways east of the Germans' area.

Should I pick up Slack as my first distro?

I've tinkered a little with Arch before and liked that bare bone terminal experience, meditations on man pages and wikis, but it turned out that I didn't learned anything from that, except for how to do google search.

I want OS to force me do some dirty work with my bare hands and to thoughtfully grasp the *nix way, while be opened for tuning and flexible modding without enforcing me to do things in one strict manner, and it seems that Slackware is a way to go.
I also like that, as I heard, it's is very well documented, old-fashioned and more BSD-like than any other linux distro. What can you guys say about that?
