I wish I got emailed when comments were made. Anyhoo, the service is extremely simple and is designed in a way to minimize customer service requests. I think the kind of customer who has multiple domain names across several registrars would be an advanced computer user.

As for the pricing, I'm taking a page out of Pinboard's book. I love using that service and the pricing makes sense (to me). I'll certainly keep your suggestions in mind though, thanks!

Ask HN: What are your pains withregistering domains across multiple registrars?
Hello everyone!

I'm working on a domain portfolio management tool and am looking to address pain points I haven't thought of yet. I have a beta working and it currently addresses two of my pain points: 1) seeing all my domains in one place and 2) learning how much I spend on renewals ($1903 on 73 domains annually).

Anyhoo, let me know!
But would that matter, given more and more of our machines are running on a hypervisor of some sort?

I know it's almost mandatory for the base machine running on actual hardware, but given that most of the servers we use now are just virtualized, how bad would removing ACPI support be? Also, would it be useful to remove that?
Have you tried Apple's recent trackpads with the Force Touch sensor and haptic feedback?

In my experience, the fact that the trackpad no longer physically moves when you press down on it to click makes really cuts down on the problem of the cursor moving during the click, as does the greatly improved uniformity of the force required. Being able to adjust the force required to click is also quite nice.

I was never quite satisfied with Apple's hinged trackpads (or the standalone bluetooth trackpad with the click mechanism in the rubber feet) as a replacement for the physical button despite the trackpad size increase it enabled, but the latest generation strikes me as almost perfect.

> The problem is that the actual poll creation is done on a per county basis. I don't know how you would do this in such a way that every random county an precinct in America could have signing keys, firmware updates, etc., just sitting around ready to roll to build elections with.

You mean creating and distributing the keys would be problematic if every county had their own keys? Are there any practical solutions to this?

Couldn't you only have a few keys that are used for many counties and updates should be verified and signed by multiple people? Each county could still verify the contents of the update was correct (e.g. correct names on the ballot).

Is there evidence that Venezuela collapsed due to infighting? Is there evidence that the us (which is resource rich) is going to collapse due to infighting over resources?
Ah, I see what you mean. I did not correctly interpret your use of "hard truth".

I agree with your comment.

That said, I don't believe it is relevant if my/your/someone's goal is to learn about the world to create things/etc. Many (most?) of the things I know that are useful are not absolute truths, they are just hypotheses.
Many misunderstand the classical lesson as "substitution ciphers are trivially broken by symbol frequency analysis", which isn't the point.

The point is to illustrate a property of a cipher that leaks information, in this case the symbol frequencies because the cipher preserves them. This is information that we don't normally consider valuable when working with plaintexts, but for crypto it's enormously valuable (i.e. it leaks a lot of information).
But people have been saying this (and even making these documentaries) since the 1970s. Has something changed?

I think there's something to what you're saying here. That's often been an argument for the mouse/pointer vs touch screen as well. How is this different from using a touch screen in general? Or are you saying that's problematic as well? Having an additional Touch Bar to effectively increase screen real estate by removing the necessity of dedicating screen space to the slider control seems like a win.

I don't do video editing or anything like that. My experience with a slider is pretty much limited to Netflix and such on my tablet :) Seems to work pretty well there. I can see how it might not work as well for fine-grained work. But that's an argument for touch screens in general, isn't it? Or do you think there's a distinction between Touch Bar and touch screen?

Caveat: On some video sliders, you can move vertically as well to increase/dilate the resolution of the horizontal movement. You won't have the same room with the touch screen. A couple options I can think of: use the track pad or a key press to modify the Touch Bar tracking; or perhaps track the speed of movement on the Touch Bar to modify the resolution, e.g., slower movement, higher resolution.

Results were printed out from the machines and posted outside the actual vote center after the election (Colorado law requires publishing the results of all electronic votes). If you were to visit a vote center after the polls closed, you'd see a tally report per machine on the window, visible for anyone to see.

The machines themselves were sent back and dumped. I don't actually remember if we printed 2 copies of everything (such as a copy for someone to tally up too).
I walked 400km of the Te Araroa trail earlier this year. Compared to Australia, there is a marked absence of fauna. A number of other walkers commented about the same thing. The only encounters with animals I heard of that were possibly dangerous were a surprised goat and a falcon acting defensively about it's territory.

You're more likely to die from cold exposure (I got very chilled one time) or crossing a river. Sandflies and spear grass will annoy you at times but they won't kill you.
> NASA estimates this belt to hold $700 quintillion of bounty. That’s about $100 billion for each person on Earth.

Something this article doesn't say is whether that's the economic value that would be unlocked by bringing all that stuff back to earth, or just a naive calculation of (total quantity of rare earth metals in astroid belt) x (current spot price for said metals). Given the astronomical (ha) value listed, I'd assume the later. But of course, no one could expect the price of anything to remain stable when you're dumping orders of magnitude greater quantities of it onto the market, so a more realistic analysis of the actual economic opportunity would be helpful.

> he named it “email”; he obtained the first U.S. copyright to that invention, and the world’s modern system of electronic mail was born.

Wow! This struck me at first as an embarrassing error from a journalist or publicist. "copyright ... invention." But it's from Ayyadurai's attorney, so it's likely deviously clever instead of bumblingly stupid. Read the words and parse them out: "the first US Copyright to that invention." Well, ok, sure you can call copyrights inventions. Legally they often refer to them as such. But unlike patents, copyrights need not be novel. The attorney calling it "the first ... invention" is likely worded so as to intentionally confuse people who don't distinguish between copyrights, patents, trademarks and the like.

Let's say everyone on my block comes up with a design for "autonomous meshes of robot lawnmowers." If we each develop prototypes in series after having seen the others' works, perhaps they are not derived works and the designs deserve their own copyrights. But wouldn't it be silly for each of us to independently claim the title "inventor of autonomous mesh-robot-lawnmowers"? Often when ordinary people use that term they would assume it to be based on novelty and thus should be a mutually exclusive title per invention.

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but I don't think this is at all true at the types of companies that would be hiring deep learning experts in any significant quantity.

Even outside of "hot" research topics, large companies and startups doing technically interesting things recruit heavily out of top PhD programs. Many companies even have different hiring processes for Ph.D. candidates, even for job positions that don't require or recommend a Ph.D., which suggests those companies evaluate Ph.D. candidates differently (and therefore view them as a different sort of asset).
If you don't have strong native JavaScript skills. Improve it first.

And then, let's say you picked Vue.js. Googling MVVM and learn about the basic concept from your best backend language. (Reading as much as you can. Some good articles are written in other programming languages also.)

And then, starting to read source code as much as you can. I won't pick big projects. Just pick any sources you think you're interested and understand it.

After all, you will get the whole picture how the app should look like and why framework trying to do X & Y.
I was trying to do something like,

@supports (clip-path: inset(0 50px 0 50px)) {
selector {
clip-path: inset(0 5px 0 50px);
}
}

where the clip path was animated. The @supports block would run, but the clip-path property would give an invalid property error. There was additional code within the @supports block related to displaying the animation. I ended up having to detect FF so that I could disable it, since it behaved differently than Chrome/Safari which use the webkit prefix.
Thank you for your advice!
I have no experience with non-DRE seal checking. Our seals had the machine serial numbers on them, with watermarks, etc. If a seal was mysteriously broken, it was in our best interest to take it out of service anyway, because suddenly the legitimate votes on that machine come into question.

But whatever you call it, sorry about that. Re-reading it, I still think you seemed a bit over-aggro re: Apple, hence my mocking (again, sorry) -- but who knows? You could be right and they'll slow-roll or cripple WebAssembly.

I doubt it, based on what I know, but it is all speculation until they ship. Only thing to do is carry on and do what we can to up the competitive pressure.
They don't even need to throw the election. Two or three machines with absurd results in favor of Clinton or Trump would be enough to push the county into civil unrest.
"Also, don't get me started on the construction here in the Bay Area vs. some of the amazing craftsmanship like the one seen in the article."

Drive around Menlo Park south of Santa Cruz Ave and west of El Camino and you'll see many beautiful houses with craftsmanship at least as high quality. This is new construction but with a traditional design, interspersed with 1950s ranchers that haven't yet been torn down. Of course you may be paying $1,000+ a square foot to build these new custom homes, so your 3,000 sq. ft home is closer to $5M including land.

So only an order of magnitude more than these "New Silicon Cities..."
The real problem is that the people buying and making these systems don't really care about security, either out of incompetence or malice.

The software/firmware would have its own signing keys. Counties would not have access to it. Counties could only load their specific voting profiles, which would be published similar to certificate transparency logs. The voting machines could display a signature of the ballot data in structured format for public auditing, that way each voter could check the signature (QR code, short generated phrase, etc) against a public record (newspaper, website, fliers printed in advance, etc).

For source code reading. I will read all similar projects. For example, reading 10 counter apps in Vue.js. And then figure out the similar patterns and differences.
> You have no strong evidence that suggests that no rape happened.

The alleged rapist not existing isn't strong evidence suggesting that it didn't happen?

> There's also no strong evidence that a rape did happen. Somehow out of that, you believe a rape didn't happen,

Wait, what? Even if there's no strong evidence that a rape did happen I should just believe it happened anyway? That's a fascinating approach. What other things should I believe even if there's no strong evidence for them? For example, what if somebody claimed you committed assault, but there was no evidence?

> which is illogical and cruel.

I suspect you wouldn't be resorting to crude appeals to emotion and playing to the cheap seats with rhetoric if you had a real argument to make here.
Nice to see you getting so much positive feedback, here is some negative feedback balance it out:

* How is this different from any of the other declarative app building systems that have, as yet, failed to take the world at large by storm?

* Why JSON? I get it's universal but it's also annoying to write. Why didn't you consider YAML or , even better, HOCON?

* Do you really think loop syntax in a declarative language is a good idea, because to me it always comes across as a nasty anti-pattern to get around the fact that declarative languages don't tend to handle this well?

Otherwise, nice effort. Better than anything I've ever shown to the world :-)
Apparently someone needed it or it wouldn't have been created, no?

> I don't believe we actually have a good currency replacement cryptocurrency yet

Yeah, cryptocurrencies are not perfect. But they are at least better than fiat/gold. Humanity progresses with baby steps.

> over time to cause inflation and thus devalue the currency driving holders to actually spend it

Here you're bringing up the old belief that a currency needs to have inflation built-in to not incentivize hoarding it, and to foster money circulation. This is a fair requirement, however, it also fosters a consumerism outlook in society. I'm still in two minds of what's better.

Anyway, if you're on the anti-hoarding side, you could like something called Freicoin. It has the good parts of cryptocurrency (vs fiat), and it also has a demurrage fee that disincentivize hoarding.

Putting aside your odd belief that the USSR would have built international fiber-optic lines, last-mile broadband, and iPhones, it's neat how as soon as it's needed for the socialist argument all of a sudden the military is a force for good.

The US and much of Europe are extremely resource rich. Like, ridiculously so.

The problems only seem to happen when the entire economy is organized around exporting extracted natural resources. And a lot of those problems are as economic as they are political. Local economies dominated by a single sector tend to see smaller versions of the same problems, regardless of the sector.
At the end of 2014, nobody disagreed with this comic: http://xkcd.com/1425/

Halfway through 2016, "a programmer with 1 year of experience" using nothing by Python, numpy and a couple of spare weeks could roll their own convolutional neural net to identify images with high-90-percent accuracy.

True we had corruption history from many years ago, but to put it in context and more in financial impact rather than "by the law", its very different what "thousands or millions of dollars corruption" (before chavez) will do to the economy than "billions of dollars corruption" (during chavez and Maduro)...

Realistically I think the result would be a more civil version of the diamond market. Since there are only a couple players who could bring back anything you would just park your supply in orbit and bring it down when it was profitable. You'd still lower the prices but how much you brought home would be ceilinged by the total market demand. You'd probably bankrupt literally every terrestrial mining operation which wouldn't be the worst from an environmental and quality of life standpoint.
Without a job, one usually has lots of free time.
It's been around for quite a long time though. Neural nets themselves have seen multiple hype cycles now. See the history of CIFAR.

I would maybe rephrase this as "Machine learning really just became mainstream recently and now everyone wants in".

If you are talking about say: recruiters, they will always tend to piggy back on buzz words. They don't really learn the technology themselves. Requiring a phd and some of these other things that are being talked about is a general "data science problem".

I can't count how many candidates I've seen applying to companies that got turned down for jobs because they just went through the traditional HR funnel. Your best bet as I said earlier is just to network.

The worst parts of getting a deep learning job are the same ones that plague every tech position out there.
Hasn't this meme kinda... played out at this point?
> That’s because the value of many asteroids are measured in the quintillions of dollars

Doesn't abundance of certain material make it cheaper? So the value isn't necessarily linearly dependent on the amount.

Reminds me "The Laxian Key" by Robert Sheckley[1] (read it, if you haven't yet).

I think he's talking about what I would call a "convertible," e.g. Lenovo's portable Yoga range. Something that can be both a proper laptop (by the popular definition) and a tablet.
No, you could bring the asteroid into an earth orbit. You can ship down some of the expensive metals to cover your cost right away, but leave the bulk materials in HEO for spaceship construction.

The easiest way to do this is to find an ice-rich asteroid and use a nuclear-thermal engine to vaporize the ice for propellant.

So... just about the touchbar and not this particular project:

The touchbar is on the keyboard, almost perpendicularly (and many times at an obtuse angle) opposite to the screen. So I have to move my head up and down all the time. This is not an issue with the regular keyboard because it has physical buttons which don't change their meaning, so I have memorized the layout and I can use my muscle memory.

To avoid moving human head up and down, maybe they should have put it adjacent below or above the screen, you know. And while they were at it, maybe they should have just merged it into the screen seamlessly... Oh, and while they were at that, they could make the entire screen a touch-screen instead of just a small bar. Just imagine... a touchscreen laptop. Now that would be amazing, right?
The value proposition of Hyper is that the overhead of guest kernel is greatly reduced to the point of being insignificant if you run any significant apps inside HyperContainers, meanwhile you gain the benefit of kernel isolation and ditching VM cluster management altogether.
Well, it's sensible to take some debt (2% interest rate FTW); but the question is how much?
Even after completely saturating the market, a large asteroid would easily fetch tens of trillions over the next hundred years. The first person to bring in a large metal- and ice-rich asteroid would dominate the space production market for decades to come.
