Show HN: Add OpenDNS servers to resolve names with most recent successful entry
If my experience is any indicator, the DNS issue seems to be getting worse as the hours go by, not better.

However, I have found that adding OpenDNS servers (208.67.222.222, 208.67.222.222) to my list of DNS servers has completely eliminated the issue, at least for the time being.

So, under my IPv4 configuration, in the "DNS Servers" field, I have "208.67.222.222, 208.67.222.222, 8.8.8.8" - the last one is the Google DNS server.

I'm able to resolve Twitter, Github, etc.
Ask HN: Got contacted by big 4 recruiter. What should I do?
Hi
I got contacted by a recruiter of one of the big 4 asking whether I'd like to apply for one of their jobs. I interviewed last year at Google and got rejected after the onsite. I don't have the feeling that I got that much better since my Google interview.

I am not sure whether I should give it a try or if I'm just going to waste their time.
>I think you should describe what counts as a theoretical breakthrough to you

It would be some new idea in proof theory that would produce significant reduction of required manual work in practical applications, making it easier for humans to work out the proofs and proof assistants help humans.

Linear logic, affine logic, etc. can provide incremental advantages, not breakthroughs.
I do not agree. My 2009 MBP lasted much longer, and required way less maintenance time, than any PC I've owned or used.
This is my exact argument for why "free market" doesn't always work. Sometimes you need to subsidize an unprofitable venture to truly move forward. Then innovation and profit models come after the initial hurdle is over. Most investors don't want to subsidize for long-term profit though.

Sure, you find diamonds in the rough, but when their AV and their certificate teams are trash does that inspire confidence? When their antivirus software bundles a 'secure browser' that disables CORS (!!!) and infects you only by scanning a file then why is it safe to assume that they know what the fuck they are doing as a company?

That's like assuming it's safe for a doctor to operate on your kidney, despite killing all their patients when operating on other organs, because you know, it's different.

The firewall might work and have the slickest interface but if it's full of buffer overflows and written by an idiot then it's not the best, is it.

And you know, fixing, helping, is fine to me, even regularly, but Windows problems are such fake ones. I stopped using Windows for a while, was cringing on linux papercuts and lack of skilled GUI, but the minute I had to use windows, bloatware jumps at your throat and you regret it right away.

Is this the track by I-Doser on Spotify? I listened to it with decent headphones and it just seemed like ambient noise with some chanting in the background. Should I have listened to it in a certain setting, or with eyes closed, or while looking at something?
I've always loved how Bill Murray toys with, and flat out ignores the media. It's funny how the reporter seems to feel entitled to be able to speak with Bill Murray. He makes it out to be a big deal, almost a personal insult and disservice, when he doesn't get to. It's simply foreign to him why someone who doesn't know him doesn't want to speak to him. The only reason he can come up with is that Bill Murray must be mad at him!

To hear these stories is refreshing, and it really flips the common narrative of movie stars looking for all the attention they can get on it's head.

> If the lady is comfortable with it and you're not you could simply ignore them?

Which is what I would do. Politely ignore it.

And that means I'm uncomfortable. I don't tend to politely ignore things that I am comfortable with.

That said, I think we're missing the point. Why is the mum of a newborn in the office in the first place? She should be enjoying her many weeks (52 would be great) of paid maternity leave. And society should not penalize her for it, of course. That's the problem we should solve, not whether pumping/feeding at the office is polite or not.
Definitely still a problem here on the US west coast. Also: https://www.dynstatus.com/
It's really unclear to me why TTIP and CETA have these. I can sort of see the logic for TPP, because many of the countries involved there don't have a reputation for having solid court systems. However, the US, Canada and the EU all have mature legal systems, so a corporation can already sue a country as is and get a fair trial.
The way i phrased the reasoning for skipping it should've made clear that i actually read it. I only skipped responding to it. The entirety of the comment assumes the mod was made without using an image file copy-righted to samsung, which is however a possibility.

Also your comment about the video footage is inane. Yeah, sure, it would likely be resolved under Fair Use, but only once a judge gets involved. The DMCA request is still entirely valid.
Interesting article, BUT yes, it would be nice if a date was added to the article title.
The first few months I owned this MBA, I was still getting used to having a computer so thin and small. One day as I was packing up, I closed the computer and tossed it into the air, setting it rotating on its axis, as one might do with a notebook or folder. Immediately shocked by what I had done, I froze and watched it rise into the air and then fall. In full rotation, one of its corners impacted my Ikea desk. The desk had a 3/4" wedged dent. The MBA went on to work for another five years before the above-mentioned failure.
I still prefer the present situation (States or other resourceful actors might be able to MITM me on some sites) to the scenario without https (any random person whose Wi-Fi you connect to can trivially MITM everything)
But since they're a Canadian company and we protect our own, they continue to win contracts because we're too conservative and risk-averse to allow new companies to be formed and let Bombardier lay people off. It's finally happening and I'm glad. It sucks that 7500 people are losing their jobs but they have valuable skills that will be more useful at Bombardier's existing competitors and future, not yet created competitors.

Here's hoping some more competition happens in the Canadian business world because it's woefully uncompetitive and tends towards oligopolies and monopolies.
I'm in midtown on TWC. All the things mentioned are down.
Yes, the point wasn't the lander but the _landing_ .

If the landing works, they can try an expensive rover in 2020. Now, they can fix what they think broke, but they're never sure until it (fails to) land.
CJDNS takes a good crack at this.

NameCoin is a pretty interesting solution as well.

But let's question for a moment whether this is actually an engineering problem. The DNS system is pretty bad; I'm sure that a few of us can come up with a better system in an afternoon. However, these competitors have failed to take hold.

It's probably mostly a social or political issue. One of the things that I think is important is to start making internet architecture issues the subject of conversation at the dinner table, at town hall meetings, and just in everyday life. We need to ignite a social consciousness around the internet and its ways. We need strong, determined will to do better.
Ask HN: Is AWS down?
So far I've found slack, twitter, quora, github down.
I have avoided seeing the movie because the book is so good. If you haven't read it I highly recommend it.
Best cheese I've had in Canada was in Quebec. It's dismal here in Ontario.

Best cheese I've had anywhere was Switzerland. And it was similarly priced to what we pay here for Black Diamond cheese, which is mass-produced but serviceable.

Good quality local cheese does exist, but you're spending upwards of $20-$30/kg. That makes it something you only buy on really special occasions. Given that in Europe you can buy cheese that tastes better but is a tenth of the cost, I have to question the prices in Canada. All things are likely not equal between both countries, but the protectionism can't be helping to drive down costs and is likely doing the opposite.
Let's see what happens to the TPP in the US during the Congressional lame-duck period (Nov-Dec 2016).
The entire Peter Thiel situation has taught me that the tech industry, like the mainstream media, is so corrupt, that they have no problem colluding against someone that disagrees with their political views.

> I have short legs and a long torso.

Same here. Neither the Aeron nor Mirra ever fit me right, no matter how I adjusted them. The Equa 2 fits me perfectly, however. I happened to find a high-back leather one for 75% off when a store was getting out of office furniture, and it's pure bliss.

Edit to add: the Herman Miller Equa 2 is a common chair for conference rooms, therefore it's easy to find them in shops that sell second-hand office furniture. You should be able to get an excellent-quality used one for around $100.
I never would have seen the video without the 'block'. Thanks Samsung, that was funny!
Not always. One of the software/hardware architects at D.E. Shaw Research (with a Ph.D. from MIT) was _legendary_ among our support team for filing and expecting followup on scores of internal support tickets for minor and often non-reproducible issues like the behavior of his laptop touchpad buttons or weird one-off website behavior. He filed tickets for everything and almost always for things we couldn't do anything about.

I'll never forget his name for that reason alone. He was, and I imagine still is, a serious drain on the support staff.

Totally brilliant though.
Maybe some Deep Learning experiment actually created Skynet and it is probing us.
Had a similar experience. When I went to confirm on twitter, that was down too. I was able to acces Twitter from my phone though, where I found a ton of tweets saying "Twitter down!". Strange.
When the startup is starting and there is only a couple of founders what is it going to do a secretarial? Bring you coffee in the morning? When you have a team and you have your secound round of investment, then a secretarial is a must for the reasons you said, but at the beginning I don't see it.
Because canadians are risk-averse. Hence why only the banks have been continuing to make money; they even invest in each other to keep the risk-averse cycle going.
> a way of asserting that you think the probability of a technological civilization arising is vanishingly small

I have no idea one way or another. I wonder why many scientists are confident that extraterrestrial intelligent life exists though. Viewing through the lens of one example in a random (otherwise) unremarkable multiverse, it's not clear to me why this should be so.
That's not something I can easily imagine. A building cost that low just isn't possible in New Zealand as far as I can tell.
jsx compiles to plain old function calls, which is how you write your templates in elm as well. there's very little difference besides developer ergonomics.

> the effective kind of cocky/jerk behavior that works well with some women

Some guys come to think that they are not cocky/jerky, but other guys are, and that this behavior "works well with some women".

It's odd to me how they can think this, although it's odd to me people have religious or other irrational beliefs.

An attractive man can be so attractive that he can be cocky or a jerk and yet still be attractive. It is that simple. If a man is less attractive, if he is a jerk that makes him even less attractive.

Let us say for the sake of argument that Dan Bilzerian acts like a jerk towards women. He is still a famous, fit, young millionaire. So that can be seen as one minus among a number of pluses. Perhaps another guy is unknown, very overweight, ten years older and broke. He acts nice, but gets little response, then sees Dan be a jerk, yet still be attractive. The reaction to this is not, "maybe I should work out and get fit" or "maybe I should work and make money", but "maybe I should be a jerk instead of being nice". Sorry, adding one more negative attribute to your pile of negative attributes is not going to help. Attractive guys are attractive despite the ability to be a jerk, not because of it.

I mean, Michael Jordan or Muhammad Ali might be cocky before a match, but they could back it up with skill. Them talking trash before some matches is not what is central to their ability. It's an outgrowth of it. The crummiest player can talk trash before a match too.

I guess if a guy is unattractive, it's more comforting for him to think it is not because he out of shape or narcissitic or broke or unsocial or uptight, but it's because he's too nice and too great of a guy. It's surely one of the roots of this bizarre idea that girls don't want someone nice, they want a jerk. Actually, they want someone so attractive that girls still want them even if they act like a jerk.
> time to make a change and start educating

When it comes to this, it's too late. The dollars have already won in the highest court.
It's because IN_MODIFY covers both writing and truncation, so the code path for such an event has to handle both anyway.

Ironically, given that you mention M. Cantrill, GNU tail does not really handle truncation properly, and gives up for almost the very case that M. Cantrill did: when the truncation doesn't decrease the size, or is very closely followed by a write that ends up not decreasing the size.

Of course, truncation is not the best way to organize writing log files in the first place. daemontools family style log management (in cyclog, multilog, et al.) starts a fresh file whenever there is a rotation, so these problems of truncation never arise.
Agreed. I've been loitering on their github trying to get a read on whether they're planning to do that. I get the impression they'll revamp everything when the 3.0 final release is ready.

Riot is really very poorly advertised and Vue is generally drinking its milkshake in that regard. It's a shame really, not that Vue isn't really neat (because it is), but because Riot is just really lean and productive but nobody knows about it. The vast majority of front-end library comparisons don't even include it.
GitHub down again?
Back in 2012 with the roll out of the Surface, we wrote our own translation layer to handle unifying mouse+touch input for a game we were working on that never made it to launch.

It's one of those things you just shouldn't have to write. This probably makes a lot of web devs very happy.

Privacy is evil?
The other examples in this thread are useful, but here is another:

Google wants to serve you "effective ads". What does that mean?

It wants to serve you ads that you see and take some new action or think something you didn't before. In other words, Google wants to manipulate you to do things you otherwise wouldn't do.

It is very much in Google's interest that you spend money with its advertisers, think things its advertisers want you to think, and do things that its advertisers want you to do, and in such a way that you don't realize you are doing it.

Do you want to make them better at that?
Is it hard to guess? The output of grep isn't a hint?
I made a point to qualify everything I said.

"some women", "women often say", "all the time" (instead of every time), "predictable"

There are 7 billion people, and even if it's 7 billion unique snowflakes, they're still all snowflakes. We're more alike than we are different. This is especially true when you boil it down to young, unmarried, childless, American women who are social and go to places where they can meet men. These are the women whose opinion on a man's approach matter the most in the context of dating advice. Sure, these women are all unique in their own ways, but they are not very unique in what they find attractive in men.
That would be an affirmative
Sharing your experience is a great idea. But I can see your concern with blogging it. Maybe just write in a physical notebook instead?
> Why can't Facebook filter out whatever they want to filter out?

Why can't people let Facebook know what should and shouldn't be filtered?

Facebook already have policy that breasts are ok when they're raising awareness of breast cancer or being used to feed children, so facebook is ignoring their own existing policy.
It really depends. Developers may have better skills, but also have bigger needs, in terms of software we need to use on daily basis. And with things like proxy servers, ActiveDirectory, group policies, or antivirus softwarem which you cannot reconfigure or turn off, working on Windows can be real pain in the ass.
And then there's the hypothesis that happiness is conserved. See e.g. [1]

Happy to say I have switched as well and happy to say it works well as well (ok, sometimes with liberal use of the + and "" operators and once in a while a !g, but overall very usable).
Do you remember the super bowl janet jackson fiasco? There were millions of people outraged by an accident and it almost wrecked her career. It's issue like this that mean that Facebook has to build aggressive adult filters that will have false positives. Because frankly the cost of a false negative is much much bigger than a false positive.
He means that whether it crashes or not, it's a landing.

However there are projects that completely miss their target and just float in space, so even then it's not 100%.
If your DNS server is offline, is the last record it returned when it was online really the "wrong" one? There'd be no right one in that case.
Well, unless apps authors are writing their HTTPS clients from scratch, I suppose major mobile OSes provided HTTP client API functions do actually check certificates?
I recently got an aeron, and struggled with which of the 2 back support options to get. I ended up getting both (an extra $100-ish). I find myself using the lumbar version more. While you can't use both options at once, I've enjoyed using the lumbar option more, and it is easy to swap them out. It's great that they are combining the two options.
Currently I am able to get into every site on the web, including GitHub, by using a VPN service based in Hong Kong.
> A low tolerance for DNS response times, and suddenly large chunks of the internet are failing a lot...

Hang on a second. I feel that you're piling on other resolver changes in order to make a point. I'm not suggesting that the tolerance for DNS response times be reduced. Nor am I suggesting a scenario where the authority gets one shot after their TTL, after which they're considered dead forever. I would expect my caching DNS resolver to periodically re-attempt to resolve with the authority once we've entered the period after the authority's TTL.

> Leak a route, DDoS a DNS provider, and watch as traffic everywhere goes to an attack server because servers everywhere "protect" people by serving known-stale data rather than failing safe.

I think you're suggesting that someone could commandeer an IP and then prevent the rightful owner to correct their DNS to point to a temporary new IP.

Isn't the real problem in this scenario the ability to commandeer an IP? The malicious actor would also need to be able to provide a valid certificate at the commandeered IP. And at that point, I feel we've got a problem way beyond DNS resolution caching. Besides, if what you have proposed is possible, isn't it also possible against any current domain for the duration of their authoritative TTL? That is, a domain that specifies an 8-hour TTL is vulnerable to exactly this kind of scenario for up to an 8-hour window. Has this IP commandeering and certificate counterfeiting happened before?
The data is internal; I obviously don't have access to it anymore. That said, having worked at many companies in my career, I can tell you that Netflix is far more data-driven than any company I've personally experienced--even to a fault since pure data-driven thinking is where Qwikster came from.

You don't like the selection. You're looking for films. Films make up a very small percentage of Netflix streaming content and Netflix streaming usage.

If you are still thinking of Netflix (the streaming service) as "most stuff is on there" then I'm happy to see you reframe your thinking--it's not now, nor has it ever been, that.

What? Samsung comes with a copyrighted background image by default on their phones. The modder took that background image, modified it, and redistributed it. That's illegal.

> can Samsung assert copyright over any real-world photograph of any person holding a Note 7?

Uh, yes, of course they can. That's why on TV shows they blur out logos of T-shirts, etc. That's why an indie filmmaker was sued because his film had a scene with The Simpsons playing on a TV in the background.
If you can get someone who is, why not? :D But more than likely you'd have to fork out a bit more. All about sacrifices. Rather give up a slightly bigger chunk of equity and grow 10x, than not hire and end up in the deadpool after a while.

Ask HN: Is React Native enough to justify using React over alternatives?
The discussion on Gitlab's choice of Vue.js got me wondering about everyone's thoughts on this. I hear a lot about front end frameworks but based on everything that I've read about React Native it seems that it gives me the impression that even if Vue or something else might be preferable - the potential cost/work/time savings of React Native would win the decision every time. Is there more to it?
Setting Up GRE Tunnelfor Incapsula IP Protection on an Ubuntu AWS Client
Exactly. You can't know if it is still valid, so you might send clients to an IP that's now controlled by somebody else. Worst case, they know and set up a phishing site. DNS generally has been reliable enough that the trade-off is not worth it.
Each seems open to some combination of outright bribes (I put fundraising in this category) and/or "quid pro quo" arrangements.
