That's a fair assessment, my current thought is that it was a crappy thing to do but is essentially what the party infrastructure is supposed to do (I supported Sanders by the way). What it really drives home to me is that I wish that there was a setup that allowed more than 2 parties so if they started supporting candidates I didn't like I could just switch to a party that isn't just the exact opposite of the one I am already in. It seems to me that the winner take all nature of the current system necessitates consolidation of parties.

> Hang on a second. I feel that you're piling on other resolver changes in order to make a point.

Yes. The point I am making is the additional failure modes that need to be considered and the pain they can cause. Historically have caused.

At no point did I ever think you were suggesting that one failure to respond renders a server dead to your resolver forever. Instead, I expect that your resolver will see a failure to respond from a resolver a high percentage of the time, leading to frequent serving of stale data.

> Isn't the real problem in this scenario the ability to commandeer an IP?

You're absolutely right! The real problem here is the ability to commandeer an IP.

However, that the real problem is in another castle does not excuse technical design decisions that compound the real problem and increase the damage potential.

>It's surely one of the roots of this bizarre idea that girls don't want someone nice, they want a jerk.

You're entitled to your opinion, and your opinion is based on your experiences. You don't really say what your experiences are so it's hard to discuss where I think you're thought process is wrong.

If you take the adjective "jerk" literally then yeah you're right, it's not very effective. When I say "jerk" I say it tongue in cheek, because that's how men describe it when they're passive push-overs without any confidence to do anything other than be entirely submissive to women.

Being a "jerk" is: independence, confidence, aloofness towards incoming negativity, tenacity in facing superficial barriers, and a healthy lack of ego while maintaining a sense of self-worth. People who lack these attributes have their self-esteem threatened when they see others who have it, hence the reason they look like "jerks" even though that's a list of great personality traits.

Also something worth mentioning: women want both. They want a jerk and they want a nice guy. They want to date the jerk but marry the nice guy. The problem is a single man struggles to be both. This means you have women who are unhappy that their jerk boyfriend won't commit, or they're unhappy because they're sexually unattracted to their nice husband despite how good he is with the kids. This is of course a huge hyperbole and generalization, and there are plenty of marriages where a man provides both roles just fine. My point is that lots of women want both roles, but it's hard to find both in a single man.
Agreed, but there is nothing stopping you from having the authoritative name servers for a domain with different providers. As someone previously said, DNS was designed for this.
Definitely do. There are only a couple that are just wholly unbelievable but when you look around you can kind of see how certain people do act the way the show presents. Each episode being a stand alone story is also very nice since if you don't like one the next isn't the same thing (for the most part).
If you're at a point where it's actually hiring and not 'talking some one into spec work by calling them a founder' some one has to answer phones, schedule appointments, file old shit, start looking through health plans, make sure bills get paid etc. It can be you, or you can work on your product.

'part time secretary needed, light admin duties, possibility of position growing to full time' is a completely normal job ad. Any temp agency in any city you happen to be in can give a hundred applicants if you're hesitant about hiring someone too early.

> This is why companies have stock buy-backs, in order to pump up the share price.

Why does this matter to them?

Stocks are very strange to me.. when I think of owning a business, I'd hope to get some share of the profits, which as I understand it, is dividends for stocks. This being the case, I always thought stock buybacks were a long term investment in the sense that the company would pay more upfront so they'd have to pay less dividends.

This makes sense except that companies seem to barely pay dividends now, I'm guessing because it's unfavorable due to tax reasons. This makes it seem like there's a strange disconnect between owning a business and deriving income from it, because now most people only buy hoping to sell at a higher price to others. But why do other people buy it at a higher price if the company doesn't pay more dividends? I find it all very strange..

Why does a company care about its stock price? Is it just to please shareholders? Prevent buyouts? Make it easier to compensate employees?

When a company like Microsoft or Apple buys back shares, they retire them. This in effect gives every remaining shareholder a larger ownership stake. Which is why shareholders love buy backs if they don't think the company can do something better with the cash internally (e.g. R&D on a new teleporter).

In a perfect information and consideration world the market cap would reduce by the amount spent for the buyback: Company is worth $300B of pure market valuation, and has $100B of cash and equities, so the capitalization is $400B in this hypothetical world, and if they bought back $100B of shares and retired them, it would conceivably drop to $300B.

The market doesn't do that, however. And if it did, the person you replied to would be arguing exactly the wrong thing, as in 1999 Microsoft had a cash pile of just $15B. Today they have a cash pile of $100B. So the differential in market caps would be even more substantial, not less.

In reality the capitalization is based almost entirely on anticipated earnings and prospects, and whether the company has $1B or $100B is immaterial, leading to the surreal situation where companies have more book value than market capitalization.
> They just never caught on in the same way as the iPhone did. It's marketing, innit. I don't think you can win against it.

The iPhone is synonymous with smartphone technology because its debut was a quantum leap ahead of the competition at the time (Blackberry, Palm, etc.). Google was working on a phone that used a physical keyboard until they saw the iPhone announcement and then quickly modified Android to ape iPhone/iOS.

I'm really sick of people trying to downplay Apple's innovations as nothing more than slick packaging and marketing. It's a stupid meme that refuses to die.

Episodes definitely take a theme and take it an exaggerated extreme, but that extreme, while unrealistic, I do think shows a 'black mirror' on certain very real dark undercurrents in today's world. So I don't think you are wrong there.

That said, as a 'thematic' show where the episodes are not related, you may end up loving some and hating others. I'd recommend the Christmas special episode (with John Hamm), if you want to give it another shot.
He probably just figures it's delegating minor roadblocks so he can get to the 'important stuff'. If I could get a whole team dedicated to smoothing the highway in front of me of every little thing I probably would stop differentiating what was a pebble vs a tack. If he's the source of enough funding to pay for more than all of the man hours then it's more or less justified even if frustrating/frivolous. He's a cog and tripping up the workflow costs money.

Idk, I've seen a lot of dev guys try a lot of fruitless troubleshooting on systems when it would have been better to blow away the entire install and load up only necessary components...the troubleshooting cost a lot more because of the disparity in their paycheck and the revenue they brought in vs. the IT departments. The IT department should want calls since it reduces the disparity in earned department revenue, better showing the value of IT staff. Unless there isn't interdepartment accounting, in which case 'screw those time wasters, lol'.
Come now, Trump isn't about "small government," and this isn't about "differing political views." It's an attack on the system of gov't itself, women, minorities. In pure biz terms, Thiel's actions are dumb: ML/AI experts are dominated by the foreign-born.

I remember as far back as 2012 seeing Gawker articles and truly feeling ashamed for humanity. You had these pompous writers completely mocking and attempting to knock down elon musk as some insane fool for his recent release of the hyperloop plans, etc.

So here's a guy actually moving our society forward in transportation and the environment, and these smug writers try to cast him as a clown.

Does anyone actually defend on substance any of the activities Gawker was engaging in? These people pushed wrong narratives and destroyed lives over reasons that were most often proven false and always self serving to the interests of gawker.

I think peter is a smart guy, but I really feel a sense of gratitude to him for ridding the world of that awful organization.

Everyone sensationalistically shouts he's an evil billionaire damaging free speech and journalism, but gawker was engaged in voyeurism and bullying. And a court of law agreed with it. We make exceptions to pure free speech all the time, such as not being allowed to shout fire in a movie theater, etc.

I don't care to comment about his support of trump, but I also find it curious most of his vocal critics are themselves journalists, and are in my opinion resentful of the fact he set a precedent that the power "journalists" have is also something that can be held accountable.

Institutional computer usage seemes designed to cost the institution money. I have to log jobs for basic installs, have 2-3 follow up calls and emails to clarify what I want. Then I wait for the team who install that category of software to be free (usually the person I need is on leave). It's easier to find a workaround, even if it makes the job take hours rather than minutes. Random machines can't access the internet for updates even if the admin password was available - internet access is an attack vector to be minimised. Maybe other large institutions are better. I see the odd Mac user and I'm sure it's cheaper for the department as Mac users get an admin password and a "dunno how to help you, youre on your own". I want this too.

There have been some long threads here about other people's evolution as programmers and what kinds of things they felt helped them improve. I don't have one in mind right now, but maybe you could find one.

You could also try reading a couple of software engineering books that talk about some of these concepts. Wikipedia mentions The Pragmatic Programmer, and there's also Code Complete and others. (I haven't read either of those.)

Here's a list of the best "software engineering" books, although the focus of these is incredibly varied and some probably wouldn't be relevant to you.

Similar experience here. Cross the border in Ontario into NY. Shop at Watertown (or Syracuse). Bring back, amongst other things, butter and dairy products up to our limit (and never more). Our most expensive "item" is usually something else and that is what I am most often asked about. The border crossing has been pleasant on both sides.

Now the frequency of our trips may have a bearing - just twice a year - once in Mar/April and once before school starts.

> ? In the process of buying shares back, the market capitalization would increase due to the increase in share price. The share price would absolutely move. This is why companies have stock buy-backs, in order to pump up the share price.

Market cap is the multiple of shares outstanding vs share value. The number of shares would go down, but the market cap would also go down. You just spent a lot of money.

Also, the value of the company would go down because its cash equivalents would go down by the amount it spent on the buyback.

The buyback is the equivalent of a dividend. Every time a company gives a dividend, the stock price goes down by the amount of dividend it gives out.

> but even then I don't think it would be so simple, as that 100B in shares would now be listed as assets to the company and could be used as remuneration for the employees, among other things.

Incorrect. From: http://www.investopedia.com/articles/02/041702.asp

The idea is simple: because a company can't act as its own shareholder, repurchased shares are absorbed by the company, and the number of outstanding shares on the market is reduced

"digikey.com", the big electronic part distributor, is currently inaccessible. DNS lookups are failing with SERVFAIL. Even the Google DNS server (8.8.8.8) can't resolve that domain. Their DNS servers are "ns1.p10.dynect.net" through "ns4.p10.dynect.net", so it's a Dyn problem.

This will cause supply-chain disruption for manufacturers using DigiKey for just-in-time supply.

Here is my counterargument.

It would be unethical to team publicly against average person, based on his opinions, but Thiel is not a average person.

Large amounts of money change the status of a person. Money and political power are largely interchangeable. Thiel is billionaire and his status and influence is closer to major politician, large company or small state than average joe.

Thiel has demonstrated that he is willing to use his money to attack against others he don't like, so I think he should be able to take some blowback. Hie livelihood is not in a stake.
