My money on the first big causality of the new gTLD program is http://Rightside.co

Looking at ntldstats.com, it would appear that they can't manage to break +250 new registrations per day for about 40 domain extensions that they own and operate. Even worse, it looks like they have been going negative on new registrations now: https://ntldstats.com/registry/Rightside-Registry

The user interface has also gone to shit on their site Name.com. I'm a developer and can't for the life of me understand their backend anymore. Google Domains crushes them design-wise.

It's amazing to me how such seemingly smart people can see what's going on and completely miss the point. You still think it's just a matter of educating the dumb, racist rednecks that reside in the rural flyover areas. It's not. Those "idiots" understand your point of view. They reject it completely. It doesn't reflect any reality they recognize, which is why none of you saw it coming. You pay too much attention to ideology and how you wish things were instead of reality and how things actually are.

You can reach out all you like. It won't "bridge the divide." It'll create more opposition. More divide.

You need to start thinking hard about whether your positions are as accurate as you've always believed them to be.

Well, afaik VPN is so widely used in Russia and even bimbo girls know how to use it. When you are going to Turkey for vacation, VK.com ( Russian Facebook) is blocked there because of porno content and you have to use VPN. Then there are resources as bbc news and netflix that didnt allow to watch video from Russia due to copyright reasons, and that again always was worked around with VPN.
The present internationalist regime is a holdover from the Cold War. Institutions (social or political) like the EU or Buckleyite conservatism or the promotion of a trans-national, US educated elite itself (eg Barack Obama Sr) were explicitly founded & run with a mission of countering the USSR.

With the collapse of the USSR & communism generally, these institutions no longer had a sensible mission and started spiraling into rent-seeking and self perpetuation without any sensible feedback being exerted on them, to the point where they began to feed on the populace.

"IPredator was launched in 2009 as a response to a growing trend of Internet censorship, in restrictive regimes as well as so-called open societies. Our main goal is to provide a seriously non-discriminating access flatrate for the Internet."

You offer a damning yet vague accusation (an easy one since slandering the Church is acceptable and even respectable today), but no argument. Since Bruno was mentioned, it must be noted that he didn't have any evidence for his claims, but what made him a heretic were claims that were radically anti-Christian, not idle speculation about the stars. (I should also mention that both Galileo and Kepler didn't exactly have the kindest words for Bruno.) Another good one: it is popular opinion that the Church viewed heliocentrism as a heretical position, sometimes followed by mentions of passages in the bible that talk about sunrises or sunsets or how it demotes Man's place in the cosmic order. Again, all that this demonstrates is ignorance -- ignorance of history, ignorance of the nature of science and the history of science and ignorance of the history of the bible and the nature of the texts within it. The "us vs. them" story of the enlightened forces of science battling the big, bad, evil Church is comical and stupid and the currency of people poorly educated on the subject. It's an easy narrative to hold to especially when it reaffirms what one wants to believe. It's all too common that people think it's okay to slander anyone you don't like or disagree with.

While your comment is rather snarky, I think the sentiment is true: many people are tired of being called racists, bigots, misogynists, etc., for simply opposing nationalism. At the same time, much has been revealed through various leaks, pulling back the curtain on various activities that many don't agree with.

I think this mentality of "the people versus the elites" (aka populism) has caught on quickly throughout the world, with the refugee and immigration issues being a catalyst.

This is a very loose definition of "security" you're using. You implied "malware" and other extra-vendor bad actor software then immediately switched back to policy decision w.r.t. the Microsoft store apps.

While I appreciate you're upset about this issue, what you just did is hard to view as anything short of disingenuous. If you're genuinely trying to hide something from government surveillance then NO simple OS decision will help you since only a few countries in the world allow you to actually say "no" to a court demand for access.

Please don't raft terms together to make your rhetorical device more seamless when it's strictly wrong to say. Security professionals do not define in-app telemetry as malware and this community will not, either. What's more, you even subtly hint open source software is more secure and free from bugs. I've got news for you: sourceless security hole propagation is 20 year old technology invented by open source people to discuss their concerns with the idea that open source means we don't need security audits.
Exactly. So no need to fit a narrative to it.
The issue is not about LinkedIn. The problem is that there is silly law that requires all personal data of Russian citizens to be stored on the servers located in Russia. It means that Russian government can block access to pretty much any website on the internet that they don't like.

This is unique on Windows. I actually took a look at dconf on my machine and no application occupied more than one key.

GEdit sits in /org/gnome/gedit and virt-manager in /org/virt-manager as you'd expect.

I also hate Android's behavior, since there are situations where you want to keep them. If I remove GEdit for whatever reason, I expect it to keep my settings.

There are legitimate reasons to criticize Gnome, but this isn't one of them. dconf is totally reasonable and has significant advantages over plain text.
A 10x reduction isn't uncommon, unless the code wasn't doing much (or wasn't very large) to begin with. Either way, the reduction is quite significant.

That's just a misunderstanding of inherent blockchain limitations. It's very easy for me to reveal a bunch of addresses on the Monero blockchain.

Step 1: make a bunch of addresses
Step 2: the world know it was you

That reduces the anonymity set for everyone else. They thought they were mixing with you anonymously but now that you are revealed, your participation in the mixing is useless, people would have done better to select someone else.

Combine this with Sybil attacks, criminal investigation, and other unmasking techniques and you might get the anonymity set down to 1 for a particular output, allowing you to further reduce other anonymity sets.

I was not aware, but apparently the Monero blockchain has a snowball effect to help mitigate this.
I see. That makes sense. I was attempting to understand it as some sort of, as you say, "landmark legislation". But picturing it more as an extension / evolution of welfare, definitely makes it seem more plausible. Though, welfare is something that you have to qualify for, and my understanding of basic income was that even the richest of the rich, would be able to collect their basic income.

Alt-right is just a meaningless catch-all term to describe someone who is sarcastic and "not-liberal."

According to this definition, Bill Hicks was alt-right. Thus, the term has zero value.

The Labour Party's abstention on this bill is unforgivable. We need to hold the Conservative government to account for their deceit and utter incompetence. We need a strong opposition party now more than ever. But Labour have completely failed in that regard.

Yes, I realise Labour is up against our mostly Labour-hating right-wing national press who seem as culpable as our politicians in perpetuating lies and untruths to push their own agenda. (Is there any country in Europe that has a national press as vile, racist, and nasty as our national press in the UK?)

Labour should be pummelling the Conservative party for their endless lies and dishonesty. They should have ripped the Conservatives to shreds over this bill (as they should have for Brexit too).

Politics in the UK has never felt so oppressive, depressing and dysfunctional in recent memory than it is now. And it's probably only going to get worse.

why do you use the maximize / minimize buttons? If you're just trying to see a different app, wouldn't alt+tab do the same thing?

> no window buttons (i.e. active windows) on the top panel

why do you need to see a running list of everything that's open in your face at all times? it seems to me like the only time you should need this information is when you're switching apps. you can also see this information by pressing the Super (aka Windows) key. also, afaik i3 doesn't show you all of the running applications at once either, but no one ever complains about that.

Travesty. Biggest trove of classical music lost forever. I found CD's on there of even local friends bands, EVERYTHING was there. My friends dads bands discography that they themselves lost over 40 years ago was on there!

I made great friends from there and w.cd was a daily topic in my life amongst me and my friends. Sharing new music, keeping track of eachothers latest DL's etc. Top 10's, collages, related artists, bounties. I loved waking up and browsing a collage like "House music from the Congo in 1973" or something and going on a journey. All lost.

It's going to take forever to get out of this depression, that was my last community, and I've been there for a decade.

I have the WCD community to credit for who I am today as a musician and developer, as the community exposed me to all sorts of things when I was 15/16ish that I probably otherwise wouldn't have discovered. I'd probably be working sales right now or cash at some grocery store if it wasn't for WCD.

The internet is now dead to me for anything other than work. Between this and all the surveillance and social media and fake news and other bullshit, it's just another tool to me now. All the magic is gone.

What an absolute shit day.

Russia likes to copy EU strategies and uses them for other purposes. For example, the EU and its members really like to go after US companies for privacy protection. This is usually a good thing for the consumers, but can feel like a targeted attack to the US companies in question.

However, when the Russian Federation does - on the surface - almost the same thing, it suddenly has a very different impact...
don't agree with the comment you quote. What I like about the Economist article (discussed here) is that it does not need terms like "bunch of elites" or "attempts at building an interconnected globalised world are beginning to fail" to explain the phenomenon of nationalism. Instead, it points (far down, in the 'Nations once again' section) to factors like pessimism in industrialized countries, nationalism as "a cheap and easy way to generate enthusiasm for the state, and to deflect blame for what is wrong" and the role of social media.

Moreover, I like that there's a sort-of positive bit at the end as it points out that young people are still overwhelmingly globalists, so the current trend towards nationalism could be reversed soon.
That’s not what “invisible” means in this context. A better name might be ”unnoticed”. It’s interface sufficiently natural as not to add to the things you have to think about.
Absolutely. In fact the original name of what we call Economics today was actually "Political Economy" and has its roots in moral philosophy. Rest assured, there is very little of anything resembling science going on. It's all agenda. There is something that they want to push and they are trying to find a way to justify it and make it palatable to the rest of society.

If science had anything to do with it we would eventually see a consensus form after a sufficient amount of time regarding issues of monetary policy and other topics that are currently contested.
> > opinion-making elites were so clustered, so incestuous, so far removed from the people who would decide this election — so contemptuous of them — that they were not only incapable of seeing the trends toward Trump but were unwittingly accelerating those trends with their own condescending, self-glorifying behavior.

Two hundred years ago, this kind of behavior led to the French Revolution, and the end of many of those elites at the guillotine. Now they just get an election result they don't like (at least so far). That's genuine progress.

ElementaryOS is just a skin of GNOME and some half-assed replacements for some GNOME apps. If you want a polished desktop just install GNOME. The best distro for GNOME is Fedora. So I guess what I'm saying is just install Fedora.
The more I think about the results of the US elections the more my conclusion is that it doesn't yield itself to simple explanations. This is not about some dude who lost his factory job and feels he is being patronized. I'm not denying this dude's existence or his feeling but there are a lot of people here with different feelings. For sure the lines of communication need to remain open to deal with the divide and as you say, this is a one person at a time thing. Another part is communication from the top which we haven't seen enough, both words and actions.

I would say the overall trend though is still towards a more unified humanity. Yes, there are bumps on the road, but if you look at the world today people are a lot closer than they ever were in history. The consume the same products. The cultural gap is much smaller.

Racism and xenophobia were always there. I think these are weaker forces today then they were historically. The world economy is changing but that is only partly due to globalization and more due to changes in technology, demographics, global warming and other factors. This change is certainly impacting individuals who need solutions.

This is a complicated problem that needs complex solutions. Neither candidate in the recent US elections offered any. Some of the problems in the US, e.g. racial tensions and inequality go back more than 100 years. Some of the economic problems go back more than 20 years. There's been a lot of kicking the can down the road and eventually things catch up with you.

However it is a top priority for the pentagon. Since Trump is the kind of guy that adopts the position of the last person he spoke to, one hopes the pentagon will step up their game and scare him into taking the drastic measures needed.

Trump supporters are usually the most vocal opponents to the climate change campaign, but like all people they will perform mental gymnastics to agree with their champion for a linited amount of time.

Through that (albeit ridiculously optimistic) lens, it's a golden opportunity.

Assuming you were in YC:
1. Give examples of things you were advised to do differently that added value
2. What did you notice in other startups from your batch that made them succeed?
3. What did you notice in other startups from your batch that made them fail?
4. Any funny stories?
5. What would you have done differently over the course of the YC program if you could do it over again?
I'm making that assumption based on me reading on other forums about users complaining about said FF memory issues. And, then again, trying to make a better product (one which uses less memory, for example) should also be on a software-maker's list of things to always have under consideration (it's like a restaurant always having to make sure that their toilets are clean).

But I agree that it's difficult to ask for even fundamental things like "give your users less memory-hungry programs" in times like these, when a chat client like Slack does almost nothing when other users complain about it using 1GB memory almost for nothing. We live in sadder times than I imagined 10 years ago, programming-wise.

"Kahan compares the HPV debacle to the relatively smooth rollout of the hepatitis B vaccine...."

The following premise assumes that the HPV vaccines (emphasize plural) consumption was lesser than the HepB vaccine because patients were ignorant and/or it was mismarketed.

It does not consider that consumers may have been more intelligent than they give credit for and didn't jump to each vaccine as it was released because they didn't fall for its planned-obsolescence business model or marketing. Those parents who did fall for the marketing would have proceeded thus:

1) inject their child(ren) with the three-vaccine series of Cervarix over a 12-month span. This protects against two HPV strains.

2) Then Gardasil comes out, which protects against two additional strains. Again, 3 doses over a 12-month span.

3) THEN, Gardasil 9 comes out, which adds 5 more strains. Again, 3 doses over a 6-8 month period.

So, at this point, a parent with full buy-in to the concept has had administered 9 different HSV vaccine dosings. Yet, there are still more HPV types that are not addressed in any of these vaccines, and the recipient is not protected from any other STD.
to me, the rule of thumb is: does this regulation encourage innovation, or curtail it? it isn't black or white, but i think it brings it into focus a bit more.
