For example when you apply for Turkish citizenship your father's name is let's say Philipos, and you have a father with that name until he also becomes a Turkish citizen with a new name let's say Filip. Now you have to update your ID.

I've heared that some police or military people change their name because they killed many terrorists.

But the most comman provlem is with birth dates. Some of my friends had such birth dates in their IDs; 0.0.1984 or 5.12.1885 (should be 1985). Why? Actually they have birth certificate in Bulgaria, even with hours. But when they become citizen of Turkey an idiot public service officer wrote wrongly to a paper, now you need to prove that you were born in that date with diplomatically certified and translated birth certificate that you have optained from your home country wich is possible but long and boring process. Instead they auto corect to middle of the year; 1.7.1984.

Especially some eastern places before 90s didn't wrote their birth dates because you know, is a "boring paper work" for them.

Or a parent says that their douther's name is Gizem but the public servant writes İzem.

This is why this country is called a developing country. They can't write something propery.
> I know you can disable the update service

No, you can't in Windows 10.
I'm in Las Vegas and I haven't had access to several sites all day. I don't think this is limited to eastern U.S.
If you oppose CETA, you may like this, but the manner in which CETA is defeated is bad news for the EU. It basically makes it impossible for the EU to conclude trade deals if every (sub)national parliament has veto power (I think there are about 35 of them now). At the same time, the power to make free trade agreements cannot be returned to the member states because they're in a common market / customs union.

In US terms, this would be like giving a county in Wisconsin veto power over trade agreements made by the federal government.
I live near Waterloo, Canada. It feels very good for us as we have always struggled to convince people to come live in the snowy abyss rather than cozy California.

>Or if it lands they can say "see? we learned to land with the crashed Schiaparelli, so it was good sending it in the first place"

Failures may not be bad, but they're still failures.

Apollo 1 was a failure. Sure, it helped NASA make future spaceflight safe, and may have saved more lives in the long run (Apollo 13 makes it even) , but it didn't accomplish its goal.

Especially that a successful lander is a reality check. We did it once and we can do it again.

A failure doesn't say anything. It could have been a stuck thruster, it's fixed, and then the crush-zone is found to be defective.

That's why first (and test) flights tend to be cheaper and failure prone.
That doesn't make their behavior automatically good or beyond criticism.
AT&T already owns Direct TV, which it (and it alone) doesn't count against AT&T Datacaps

This sort of mentality is sounding more and more like Germany in the 1930s.

It's a pleasant article on an interesting person. It need not be all technical discussion, all the time.

What are reasons people use throwaway accounts on HN?
I've used HN for a few years as a news resource and only recently started commenting. Now that I'm paying attention (and seeing green usernames), I'm really surprised at the number of throwaway accounts -- many obviously so, including "throwaway" in their name.

I can think of a couple reasons people might want to use a throwaway account:

1) Mask their identity to espouse a position they are
afraid to have associated with their "main" account
2) Troll (variant of 1)
3) Manipulate voting

Thoughts on any others? I looked for previous discussion but didn't see much.

(Posted with my one and only account -- not passing judgement, honestly asking the question)
I don't mean to be rude, but this objection only seems handwave-y if you don't understand Gödel's proofs (common), or you have some refutation of them (obviously uncommon, but definitely interesting).

This is a good not-too-technical but not-condescending explanation https://www.amazon.com/G%C3%B6dels-Proof-Ernest-Nagel/dp/081... (it does get into the technical details; it just doesn't go line by line as you would if you wanted to recreate the proofs).

As long as you have the expressive power of Peano arithmetic (which all programming languages ought to, and definitely all proof systems ought to), you can find a Gödel sentence in the system and thus prove that it can't prove, of itself, "x is consistent".

It's worth looking into, if only for the enjoyment.
Opportunity tried to see the descent, but it did not work: http://www.planetary.org/blogs/emily-lakdawalla/2016/1019152...
I bet more people were offended than just those who filed complaints. So millions seems like a reasonable number.
YouTube goes beyond copyright, and totally ignoring fair use, there's also no neutral third party that you could ask to review.

I had a situation recently by uploading a dashcam video recently, it had song played from a radio and it got flagged. I appealed from it that it is fair use (no monetary gain, it doesn't affect their sales (very bad quality, not whole song), it's not center part of the video (in fact I would prefer if it wasn't there).

The studio owning the song responded that blocking it is still valid and youtube informed me that I can appeal again, but if I lose again I can lose my account, which at that point I gave up. I doubt that studio has any consequences for labeling things incorrectly.

Well, Google is hyped here on HN (a technology forum) a lot, also in the positive sense. So perhaps HN should start hyping different, more ethical correct, companies?
That depends on what your own time is worth to you. I mentally (but inexactly of course) price my spare time quite high. I have a PC for gaming that I use occasionally, and a mac for work that I use a lot, and yet the PC sees more maintenance than the mac per time unit used for its actual purpose. That's my personal ROI calculation, and I get that others may see it differently.

The only reason I keep the PC is because I still find macs to be suboptimal for gaming, and PCs to be easier to keep current by switching out the GPU or adding more storage or RAM. Given a mac with a more open-ended upgrade path, I would probably throw it out.
The Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, or Ceta, was expected to boost bilateral trade, but Wallonia sees the accord as a threat to farmers and welfare standards.
The region has a strong socialist tradition. Its fears echo those of anti-globalisation activists, who say Ceta and deals like it give too much power to multinationals - power even to intimidate governments.

It can be your "political opinion" that the government should be small, taxes kept low, and regulation to a minimum.

When you start bragging about sexually assaulting women, advocating violence against your opponents, and feeding the flames of racial tension you've moved well beyond mere opinion.

It's bewildering that Thiel would support such a character now given how Thiel won't "suffer" from Trump not being in the White House.

It was under Bill Clinton that this entire tech party got started: The commercialization of the Internet. Laws favorable to the start-up investment scene. Freeing up investment banks to allocate capital more freely.

I just don't get Thiel's motivation here. You don't want a total lunatic in power, you want someone you can talk to and persuade.
The network definitely can (and often does) do load balancing by offering different DNS results for different regions.
I wonder if there would be a way to allow for multiple NS records for a given domain, but still maintain the idea of ownership over that domain by a single party. Like right now I need to have a single registrar put an entry for my NS records into their DNS database, but if the registrar goes down no one will find my NS records. However if someone else was allowed to host my NS records how could I update them and still prove that they all only point to my name servers.
Depends on how many PoPs they have. Looks like they have 4 easter US.[0] If they are seeing large attacks that Krebs saw a few weeks ago, that could certainly be enough to take down one or two, and then causing redirected traffic to take down the other two.

I used to work for a DNS/DDoS provider, and this was a very real problem. Leave the PoPs that are being affected out, or risk overloading the other PoPs by overloading real traffic.

Before moving the other traffic, you also have to worry about blocking the DDoS traffic otherwise you're just redirecting them to the other PoPs. Mitigating DDoS attacks are not fun, and hard to block.

> Worst case, they know and set up a phishing site.

They'd need to specifically gain access to the last known good IP address, which might be different depending on which DNS resolver you talk to (geodistribution, when the record was last updated, etc). I wouldn't really consider that a realistic attack vector.
It looks like we used to have something similar but it got deprecated.

It's what makes the episode, IMO, and it's something that a lot of people don't seem to notice. We never see police or enforcers. The closest thing are the stage hands at the show, and they're not that close. We don't see someone carted off to become one of the janitors, for example, which a lesser show or concept would have depicted explicitly. Then at the end we see that the outside world looks fine[1], if neglected (by humans) and wild. People are where they are due to lack of will and imagination to make something different for themselves.

[1] There's some debate over whether those are real windows or viewscreens, but since one of those options acts a punch-line to this theme and the other serves basically no purpose, I'm pretty sure we're supposed to take them to be real.
Correct, but they wouldn't be able to decrypt the data.
Not entirely sure. Perhaps some of the DDOS was flowing through to them but that's complete speculation.

I mostly wanted to throw this out there for others who are trying to segment the impact of the issue.
And the ratio of false flag operations to false accusations of false flag operations is about 1:99. Lots of unlikely things "do happen," but if that's the immediate explanation you reach for you're going to be wrong most of the time.

Not OP, but:

1. Older results. DDG's recent (<~5 year) results are pretty good. Going older than that for online content, not so much.

2. Books and journals. Google Books, Google Scholar, and Google Ngram Viewer are phenomenally useful tools, no doubt about it. There's no single resource which can substitute for them. Worldcat (library search) is good, if you've got access to various search databases (usually via an academic library) that's useful, and content access itself is possible (with questionable legality) via Sci-Hub and LibGen. The Internet Archive has less content, but greater legality.

3. Specific technical queries are generally less well answered by DDG, but easier to direct (via bang queries) to the appropriate source. StackExchange, Debian, Debian packages, Ubuntu, Microsoft KB, etc., are (I think) all covered. The ease of filtering from a general case to a specialised search is a real win.

4. Date-bound searches. I very frequently want to look for something between specific dates.

5. Less-prominent content. I use various sites (Ello, Reddit) as filing cabinets of a sort, and being able to search my own posts there is useful. Reddit's post search is good, Ello's not so much. DDG doesn't index (or retain) Ello results well.
You're speaking out of ignorance. There are applications like TeamViewer that are cross platform, if you don't want to use Apple's own Remote Desktop...
"Trump's campaign is run by a white supremacist and repeatedly RT's neo-nazis"

The Clinton campaign is run by a bunch of Fascists and she is friends with the likes of Bill Ayers (someone who actually used explosives to harm innocent people). If the company you keep represents the person, both Obama and Hillary are pretty terrible people.

I've never seen Trump re-tweet anything remotely related to neo-nazis...only fake bullshit copied by dummies on Social media.
His list of enemies keeps growing with each thing he meddles with.

Anecdotal evidence from small scale builders suggest building to higher performance standards, even to Passivhaus, add only up to (sometimes no more than) 10℅ build cost.

It's all down to design, and this is where volume builders baulk. They can't pay minimum wage to cheapest labour to throw up 'standard' builds - in the UK that's cavity wall, but in the US no doubt you have your own standard approaches with performance problems.

Given that no house has ever been sold at a price based on build cost, the type of whining in the OP really boils down to "our profits are lower, can government do something about it?".
The reporter was right though. Bill Murray had actively avoided the reporter because someone else had warned him to.

But what she didn’t tell me, until confirming weeks later in a follow-up call, was that she had been uneasy enough about our interview to send Murray a warning.

Newman pulled up the exchange and read part of it to me over the phone.

Murray was already “horrified,” though we couldn’t determine if that was embarrassment about being singled out for the Twain.

Then he responded to her concerns about me.

“I’ll try to kill this,” he wrote.

The interview? The story? My career?
The Guardian stopped accepting Internet traffic from Russia
The Guardian firewalled itself from Russia. Personal observation. Why would they do that? The Independent and the Economist are OK.
Me too. Someone realized their oopsie :)
Maybe, but I want more details on what exactly is happening though.
10% is not the normal discount rate for most people. I don't know what assets you are buying into but most assume a 5-7% discount rate because thats what most expect the long term growth of a diversified portfolio of stocks and bonds.
>My late 2010 MBA worked for 5 years then broke one day.

I had the same experience with the 2011 model. About 6 months ago the motherboard went, computer is non functional. And yet...I have 13 year old Gateway laptop (first laptop I ever owned), and a 10 year old Dell that both still boot without a hitch. And that Gateway has some miles on it (bought it to play World of Warcraft).

But, as someone else here said, the "quality" difference between the Apple and PC products is immense.
The state has plenty of water for people to drink. It doesn't have enough water for all those people, and to irrigate a gigantic desert, at the same time.
Prop 13 creates an incentive for homeowners to oppose development, since their housing values will rise with no drawback on property taxes. It also means that the government is forced to raise sales and income taxes in order to raise revenue. It is harmful for society to have high housing prices which falls especially on younger workers and workers moving into an area, in order to benefit a small number of incumbents.

No other good is treated like housing this way. We don't say it's good if your computer or cell phone goes up in price, or if cars are more expensive every year.
and we should add that the technical people have probably under average interpersonal skills so it's really a bad use of their time to put them to sales. An average sales guy would do better.
for sure. there's a huge spectrum between a person and a small business and then massive IBM.
for IBM it's three times cheaper.
for me, it's probably cheaper to use debian on a raspberry pi than debian on a free second hand desktop that originally came with windows xp or vista, just based on electricity cost.
Given that humanity's track seems to be toward ever greater diversity, it's hard to imagine we'd become a one-dimensional archetype species.
Oh good point, my bad.
Highly uninformative article.
Not really; self-signed certs prevent non-resourceful actors (to use your phrase) pretty well too, well enough that I don't care about the difference for the vast majority of my traffic (how many sites do I actually trust more than I trust some rando pretending to be them? Not many, and those few are the only ones where 3rd-party verification gives me any useful information). If we decoupled the need to just encrypt transport (which is easy) from the need to verify authenticity (which is hard), we wouldn't need so many CAs to begin with (because far fewer sites would need them) and stuff falling through the cracks like this would be both less likely and easier to spot.
I can't say for big companies but for smaller companies it is generally software like WordPress for blog or some Forum software that you installed and then they find an exploit and exploit every site that has it. There is very little you could do even if you are updating frequently.

If you really need to install third party software i feel it's best to put them on their own instance and separate database than to share any resources with your main site.

Another option may be to switch from the SSL endpoint add-on to the new, free SNI-based SSL termination feature, which will mean CNAMEing to your-domain.herokudns.com. , which seems not to be affected by today's issues.
There's varying levels, though, when it comes to infrastructure—at an extreme end, you might need to expand the road network to deal with increased traffic, and if that's building a new, parallel road, or doubling an existing one, that can get pricy fast.

Of course, this is unlikely to affect anyone building a single property, but at least here if you're a developer building a large number of homes you can be expected to make a contribution towards to the cost of the infrastructure associated with the development.
Exactly... if left unchecked entire communities would be engulfed by developers hungry to cash in on whatever market they decide to get into. Communities are barely able to fight them off as it is. I live in Venice and the locals are being all pushed out by illegal airbnb "hotels" taking over rent controlled buildings and every little lot suddenly having a three-story steel and glass monstrosity built on it right up the property lines.
Proposition 13 is a massive subsidy provided to real estate investors. If the goal is to prevent retirees from being ''driven out of their homes'' then there is no reason not to limit the exclusion to a single property per person.
A shame OpenDNS used to redirect me to some spam webpage every time I tried to resolve a domain that didn't exist--they earned a spot on my black list forever. :(
>Bombardier is out, Tesla is in.

Pump the brakes there. The next time you ride the subway or take a commuter flight you won't be riding on a Tesla train car or aircraft. I get that the average HN visitor is enamored with Elon and Tesla, but c'mon now.
Dyn, Inc. is toast. They created a central point of failure for the Internet. Major sites will stop using their services within hours.

Things need to get more distributed. Don't load Jquery from some central site. Don't load fonts from Google. Make sure your site will work if all the trackers and ad sites are not responding. Use multiple independent DNS providers.

It's also time for serious litigation. Find some vulnerable IoT device being used for the attack, and sue the retailer, distributor, and manufacturer for negligence. Junk IoT manufacturers need to feel fear.
The problem is, when you move somewhere else, and you buy your home, you become the person that wants their home value maintained/protected. Are you going to vote against your own interests? If so, I applaud you. Otherwise, you're just distributing the problem across the country, as tech money flows through workers in secondary cities (inflating property prices in Austin, Denver, Boulder, Nashville, Portland, Seattle, etc).
I do not know much about real estate cost but it is interesting to see someone blaming a $50,000 regulatory fee for the $400,000 or so difference in median house cost between CA and other states.
Sure, I was just curious if someone US money was funneling to the EU in some circuitous fashion. Airbus is France and German y correct?
Well as to whether your code is WET or DRY you can probably figure that out yourself, as far as the leaky abstractions read http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/LeakyAbstractions.htm... consider that and ask for some specific examples where you've been leaking.
I can't tell if you are being facetious or not but I applaud your efforts if you are being serious but your detailed post made me laugh, so true about the kitchen timer and a calendar on the wall. Back to basics. At least you don't need to charge them.
And it shouldn't have been. These are two separate questions.

Think about it. If you connected to my blog, would it actually give you any useful information if Thawte assured you I am who I say I am? You don't have any reason to trust me more than you would trust someone pretending to be me, because I'm some rando with a blog you got linked to.
Uhh, yes. California might have to export a bit less alfalfa. The vast majority of water use is agricultural.
I agree with you, that it can help to have things spread apart. But, the competition for talent isn't nearly as high as people say it is. I still see companies trying to set up shop in SF and palo alto. VCs still prefer having companies in SV, even if it means double the labor cost. There's a slow migration of a few companies setting up satelite shops outside of the bay area, but it's not a mass migration. So even with this crazy housing situation, there still seems to be more than enough talent to hire up in the bay area.
And if RDAP or whatev would have been used here then the whole problem would have never occurred. But it wasn't, due not being required to. Ergo sum, the requirements should be reviewed to avoid repeating this sort of thing.
> I don't think it was supposed to be believable.

Roddenberry surely intended it to be. It was the show he'd wanted to make all along, or a great deal closer to it than the original, in any case; since his death and especially since the show wrapped, many early screenwriters have described, in various fora, the extent to which he'd try to enforce the logical consequences of his political philosophy, such as the disappearance of workplace interpersonal conflict, a libertine attitude toward sexual activity, and such enduring peace both internal and external as to render unnecessary the maintenance of a military organization. After Roddenberry's ill health made it impossible for him to exert creative control, and especially after his death in 1991, TNG-era Trek evolved toward a more plausible portayal of its characters and societies.
