It can be if you want it to be, but it's probably much less interesting than you think.

You likely underestimate the sheer number of DNS records you look up just by surfing the web, and how useful that information would be to 99.99% of users.

Basically the tools exist for you to do this yourself if you are so inclined, but they may not be that user friendly since they aren't generally useful to most.
Doesn't that happen regardless?
> Only way it would increase the stock price is by signaling that the company doesn't need money and can return it.

That's not completely true. If a company has $10bn of excess cash and a market capitalisation of $50bn you cannot simply assume that the business is worth $40bn. The market might be assigning a value to this cash lower than the nominal value (for example because there is a risk that the management will just do some stupid acquisition with the money). And beyond valuation considerations, stock prices are affected by supply and demand: buybacks create some artificial demand.

> I never heard someone building an image for a mac for example.

This happens where I work. Amongst other things it:

1) Set the hostname of the machine.
2) At one point, changed the timezone to one of the US offices (I work in Europe).
3) Prohibited upgrades to newer versions of OS X until they were approved by the IT staff.
4) Forced reboots for installation of security updates (happened to everyone in the office at the same time, with a few minutes warning and no option to cancel).

and some other annoyances. I needed at one stage to reinstall OS X (my fault, as opposed to something wrong with OS X), and this got rid of the issue.

I was informed by a colleague that if you reinstalled OS X while connected to the corporate network, that it would install OS X from the company's IT servers instead of Apple's ones, thus pulling down the corporate image. I can't 100% verify that claim, but it sounds true what I have seen when people reformatted in the office.

See my cousin post above.
As you said, some sort of message would have to be the way. A 4xx probably won't cut it but something like the messages Google shows you when asking for a captcha is fine.

My point is that there will be a cost, and that taking action against vendors won't be enough (sp. if they are in a different country, are no longer in business, etc.)
Which has nothing to do with long term price trends and everything to do with artificially timing the market.

Since we're now wandering in to "pick-up artist" territory, it is actually often argued that "coming from a place of abundance" is one of the key factors. In other words, you like hanging out with the woman, and you will entertain her and yourself by being yourself. However you will not do any of these things from an ulterior motive of taking her home, you simply take actions guiding the outcome towards that if you feel like it. Otherwise you are perfectly content to enjoy the moment, as it is.

And if it doesn't work out, you're perfectly fine with that as well. Your mental state is undamaged, and you're not signaling lack of value because you fall into desperation when "the only woman" (the one you worked so hard for!) you're with is leaving.

I would argue (probably strongly influenced by others, RSDTyler mainly [1]), that it is easier to be "false confident" as a "jerk", and signal abundance in that way, than to have true confidence based in the actions you take every day, and the life that you live. That is why we've seen this stereotype of the jerk getting the girl. However this jerk might not be a good fit for a relationship (and neither is the "nice guy" sucking up to the girl with an ulterior motive), as they will not be able to stay centered and confident over a longer period of time.

However it is probably easier to detect the "nice guy" and weed him out, than the jerk, as that more closely resembles true confidence.

Interestingly enough, having true confidence means you kinda come full-circle and end up being a person with clearly defined boundries and probably a clear driving force in your life. Thereby turning into a more interesting person, and a better "mating partner".

The Many Facets of Quality
There are certainly still alternatives to React Native such as Cordova and NativeScript, among others.

Some other frameworks have bindings to React Native using it as a just the final "renderer". CycleJS has a React Native binding, though I'm not currently aware of how well it works yet. I'm not aware of Vue.JS bindings for React Native, but it may be possible.

There's certainly a question of whether or not you need "native" to begin with. Cordova doesn't always feel "native", but it is reliable and reliable can be all some apps/dev-teams need.

That would be a quick fix similar to adding another NS provider. Of course if dyn is out completely they might not have their master zone anywhere else. Then it's similar to any service rebuilding without a backup.
And that's why I said it's uncomforting.

​Dyn DDoS part 2: The hackers strike back
> - Attacker generates or acquires counterfeit facebook.com certificate.

So you enabled an attack vector that has to be nullified by a deeper layer of defense? And in some cases possibly impacted by a user having to do the right then when presented with a security warning.

Why would you willingly do that?

Also I do find your assumption of ubiquitous TLS rather alarming - facebook is a poor example here, there are far softer and more valuable targets for such an attack vector to succeed.

Edit: Also to keep my replies down...

> I would personally like to configure my local caching resolver to hold onto last-known-good resolutions for a while.

You can! All these tools are open source, and there are a number of simple stub resolvers that run on linux (I'd imagine OSX as well) which you can configure to ignore TTL. They may not be as configurable as you like, but again they are open source and I'm sure would welcome a pull request :)
Please elaborate. I don't follow you. Are you arguing that if I own an apartment, I should be able to rent my apartment out for any purpose? Can I rent it out as a party venue? Can I rent it to 50 people at once? Are you just saying that regulation shouldn't be at the state level?
Does this apply to paid accounts', e.g. businesses', data?
Hrm, 84KB NX site vs. 12KB regular site. Is there 72KB worth of features/improvement? I understand it's just a demo, and that even at 84KB, that is a relatively small size anyway, I'm just always curious when I see a site rebuilt in another tool and it balloons in size compared to the original.

Is HN a site that even needs to be an SPA anyway? It's fun as a demo, but maybe this type of site isn't a prime candidate as a typical SPA use-case?

Either way it's always fun to build something as an example or learning process, so please don't perceive my comments as having any ill will. Maybe all-in-all I'm just an old-school HTML/CSS guy that is admittedly having trouble in this new SPA world (a discussion HN has had ad nauseum, I know)

You don't really have a choice on subsidies if you want a home-grown aerospace industry in the current climate. Other countries subsidize heavily.

In theory we have international agreements preventing such things, but there are a lot of ways to subsidize a company.
I went to a pretty lower-class high school in Brooklyn, NY (lots of kids from Bed-Stuy, Bushwick, etc. before gentrification). There's a prevailing attitude that if it's not in NYC, it's not worth knowing about. I'm not surprised to hear of a well-off kid in a DC school not knowing about Chicago existing.
Fwiw, this isn't a hack, this is a DDoS (denial of service). It seems almost certain that your information was either given out by dynu, or your WHOIS record isn't protected. Check your domains out with your favorite WHOIS tool first. Otherwise... time for an awkward conversation with dynu.
The real problem here, and this isn't going to be a popular position, is that you're relying on the internet for important things.

The original engineering and architecture of the the internet (and the web) was not intended to create something you put all your eggs in. It was for sharing information, not building your mission critical business operations on.

Right now, if you dumped your business into a cloud service you're mostly dead in the water. But those who have local infrastructure can keep working. As people have been noting here, centralization is bad.
We're heading toward the same thing every species before us has; death and extinction. We're just accelerating the process, and have the unique ability to anticipate it. Nothing has shown an ability to avert the inevitable however.
Interesting, usually the searches I find Google is better at are very literal, but also very obscure things. Like when I'm trying to find a specific error message or obscure (often outdated and unavailable legitimately) pirated material. Maybe it just amounts to having more stuff in the index.

To be clear, you view individual employees asking if a user is using a product in a way coherent with the company's views and needs as proto-fascism? What about this is fascistic?

With Apple at least it depends on the group.

> (I assume the mobile app uses some kind of 'dns pinning' as that is working)

The app was down for me until I switched my WiFi network to use OpenDNS. It's possible your phone has the DNS record cached, or it's using a different DNS server. (Is it on cellular?)

Hardcoding IPs into a mobile app typically isn't done because it makes changing your infrastructure extremely painful.

Well that is unfortunate. The people of NYC should not have to live with many places in their own buildings operating as illegal hotels. Why should New Yorkers have to tolerate illegal hotels with arbitrary guests in such a densely packed city? The residents do not owe people visiting a cheap place to stay. Would you like to have someone different staying in the place literally separated by a wall next to you every day or week?

If it is too expensive you have the option of staying somewhere outside of Manhattan. If not you have to just pay the price of visiting an expensive city and not put the burden on the residents.
FWIW, I would definitely be interested in paying for a service like this. I'm technical enough to care about this, but not technical enough to solve it myself. Similar to where I was before dropbox.
I know, right? It's one of the reasons why the culture of the SV tech industry turns me off so much, and it's a part of why I'm glad I don't live in SV or work for an SV company.
I can't read that, but I've thought about this subject and I'll give my two cents.

Let me preface this by saying that I always seem to regret being nice. It's the people that are mostly unaware of others that seem to be the most happy. These same people don't seem to have a problem being cruel as the feeling comes to them.

This doesn't sound good, but it's true. This doesn't have much to do with this story though.

A couple years ago I was on the bus and this kind of thing was on my mind. Over the years my best friend and I have switched between who was more dominant and a couple years ago it was him. He wasn't nice about this either.
On the bus there was a woman and what I assume to be her two daughters. The daughters were kind of playing around the bus and climbing on things. One daughter was obviously more dominant; she was the one basically deciding what game they were playing and she didn't let the other forget that it was 'her game'. After the dominant one was particularly rude, the other went off and did her own thing and start playing behind a seat or something. She seemed to be pretty amused with what she was doing.

After a while the dominant one got bored and went to see what her sister was doing. After seeing that she was having fun, the dominant one joined in and her sister accepted in an obvious way, because she was still busy amusing herself. After that they seemed to have an equal understanding with eachother.

I don't know about nice people having more fun, but the moral if the story is if you have more fun people will be nicer to you.
What evidence is there that growth would increase in the areas with high housing prices if the housing prices were lower?
"While it is already illegal to occupy a class A multiple dwelling for less than 30 days, this legislation would clarify that it also illegal to advertise units for occupancy that would violate New York law. However, online home sharing platforms still contain advertisements for use of units that would violate New York law. It rests with the city and state to protect communities and existing affordable housing stock by prohibiting advertisements that violate the law, creating a civil penalty structure for those who violate the prohibition, and clarifying activities that constitute advertising."

It adds a fine of up to $7500 if a host is caught listing their unit for less than 30 days, among other things.
Well, it's certainly not something that needs to be avoided at all costs but in the long term it can be less efficient and more costly.

It depends really, there is no single true language (except LISP) to solve all problems in the entire stack.

Not sure why you are comparing Odoo to Outsystems; I worked with both and I am not really seeing where you get this comparison from?
It's a bit about the protocol, a bit about the client, I think.

In worldspace, every message's direct descendants form a DAG, i.e. classic threading, so messages only know about their ancestors or successors.

The "inbox" contains many independent, unrelated threads. From a client's perspective, I can see wanting to treat the inbox as a repo containing many files, each file being a thread.

From a protocol perspective, the total contents and state of the parties' inboxes is not relevant (nor particularly wise to share); but you would want to push your changeset to a thread (i.e. a new message) to your recipient. A git changeset can affect many files, which is not consistent with the semantics I'd want to convey.
that is definitely true for a co-op, and whether or not it is true for a condo is more up in the air. but I suspect you meant to say "co-op" where you said "condo".
> Somehow we've gotten into a cultural state where everyone expects the place they live to stay exactly as it is for their lifetime.

I am trying to find a polite way to indicate that I find this to be a completely absurd reversal of the historical trend. Only within the last few generations, certainly within the last century, has it become so common to relocate far and/or frequently instead of most men living the whole of their lives within a day or two’s ride of their childhood home.
Less deadweight loss in the form of rent, and more towards people doing productive things is one completely obvious one.
I'm curious why you desire 12 month leases over, say, 4 month leases. What's the major difference from an owner's perspective?
Is it a flaw or a feature? This might be more akin to the local government saying that you can't run a business in a residential area (i.e. zoning laws) than it is to squashing "private transactions or agreements".
Maybe I should've written, "shiny new managers".
Unless you have a good argument why they are less likely to stay up than the alternatives, I don't see how this would lead to their end. Unless you take it as an argument to abolish ALL DNS servers and start mailing host-files around...

People have been painfully reminded why using multiple providers is best practice, will re-evaluate if that's worth the expense and if yes add other servers. Dyn will easily survive unless some massive blunder is exposed in the aftermath.
Devil's advocate: the British railways were privatised in the 1990s in such a way that different companies ran the tracks than the trains, and a bunch of different companies ran different trains. I must say that it would probably be better to have some single vertically integrated monopoly running everything, since in reality the government would curb its worst excesses more easily.
I switched temporarily from those to Open DNS's 208.67.222.222 and things are working for now.

But, just to be clear, it's not Google's fault: 8.8.8.8 are not the authoritative name servers for the sites that are down. Rather, Dyn, the provider of the NS is down, and I presume Google (8.8.8.8) is correctly not returning any IP address because the underlying authoritative name server is not.

Presumably Open DNS is working because it's not abiding by the TTL it's supposed to? It's caching the underlying authoritative name server longer than it was told?
> What they're saying is that the decreased quality of life for service industry workers hasn't lead to a negative effect on the economy.

Yes, that is exactly what I am saying. High housing prices don't seem to hurt the economy. Quality of life arguments, whether they are right or wrong, are totally unrelated to that proposition.
Sure I'd say that both Windows and MacOS are getting less Dev friendly, but that's inevitable I'd say as their main perceived market is consumers and really to operate safely in todays environment you either have to be technical or let the OS take control of more aspects of your computing experience.

My guess is that most consumers will end up running and iOS like managed environment in the next 5 years or so and more technical people will end up running Linux.
I'm not using the service, but I'm curious what an acceptable threshold for this company is. Like, if half the DNS servers are attacked? If hostile actors sever fiber optic lines in the Pacific?

I ask because my secondary question, as a network noob, is was anybody prepared / preparing for a DDOS on a DNS like this? Were people talking about this before? I live in Mountain View so I've been thinking today about the steps I and my company could take in case something horrifying happens - I remember reading on reddit years ago about local internets, wifi nets, etc, and would love to start building some fail safes with this in mind.

Two pronged comment, sorry.
You might want to look up what 'pozzing' actually means. ;-)
Apple's vertical integration could be broken up, so other companies can take advantage of it.
If you take them offline before they've managed to disseminate the info, then it can't be forgotten because nobody knew about it in the first place. Which means when the sites come back on, the info is still newsworthy.

I fixed that for you. The thing is, in most cases what is being done with these units was already illegal.

Automatically proposing the best bang query would be awesome. It should be doable to predict the best bang from the query.

Google does something like this when it shows images or scientific articles on top of other results.

DDG could even predict that it needs to fallback to Google in last resort.
Ok, I'll take the bait:

I see a Bloomberg article attacking the company as the cause for the DDoS. I go to their Crunchbase and see that the founder is very young, entered college at age 12 (although that contradicts his linkedin), etc. and point that I wouldn't be surprised if that is the link.

Then you say that should not be enough evidence, which made me google him, and surprise, I find out he was part of LulzSec, raided by the FBI, etc. So as "inappropriate" as my prior was, it seemed to be pretty good at spotting this possibility no?
