No they cannot, unless you boost to a reference frame that's moving at the speed of light, which is a useless frame. In all other frames, including the ones we are in, the photon left the Sun before arriving to Earth.
I'm currently working on a tool [1] that can help with checking if all your different providers are 'in sync' and responding with the same answers. Setups like these are only to grow more common as people realise a single DNS provider is a SPOF of its own.

Very good analysis of SO and a smart move to roll this out _before_ a new DNS outage!

Yahoo was dying when I was there in 2005-6 - the internal political structure, in-fighting, and general disdain from the US for anything not made there was terrifying.

I think a $7/month subscription to access anything over ~5 articles/month on Medium would get a lot of people to pay, and I don't think it would chase off publishers at this point. The value Medium has created is easily worth as much as Netflix, and without a doubt more valuable than the paywalls other publishers (NYT, WSJ) ask for.

I remember setting this up about a decade ago on some old electroplating control system front end. It worked very well - unlike the rest of the software on there.

Unfortunately the DOS program it was being used to remote was highly picky on the hardware being used, and would refuse to communicate with the PLC if the PC was too new. Due to the harsh environment of the plant, we'd go through two or three computers per year. So there was a lot of digging around for old hardware until we realised it would run reliably in DOSBox with a suitable CPU speed set.

After that, our use case for TINY was no more, and we just used a VNC server for Windows. Saved a great deal of site to site travel and plant downtime while it was set up though.

I've thought about doing something like this, the biggest issue I found is feature parity between DNS providers.

The link you give doesn't show any evidence that film (any format) can get above 50MP.

Real world comparisons of 4x5 film with 40-50MP medium format digital backs tends to show that they are very similar in terms of resolution. See e.g. https://luminous-landscape.com/4x5-film-vs-digital/

Honestly, the claim that 35mm film can achieve 24MP of resolution is pretty wild. That might be the theoretical resolving limit (depending on how exactly you translate lpm to megapixels, which is not so trivial), but no real world comparison that I've seen has ever shown 35mm film resolving as much details as a 24MP digital camera.

As far as what photographers like you are "seeing", then for goodness sake, if you are actually seeing 35mm film capture the same amount of detail as a 24MP DSLR, let's see the photos!

I'm wary of such universal teams which abstract away their own raison d'être. This is what gave us the modern - how I like to call them - toilet paper companies, i.e. companies which couldn't give a rat's ass about what they're making, as long as it is profitable (and that would gladly switch from building medical devices to making toilet paper if that had better ROI - hence the name). I can't deny such focus on gaming the structure is effective - much like MBAs with abstract knowledge of how to run a money-making machine are effective at doing just that - to the detriment of all customers, who actually care about the products.

arXiv:1103.3257: The Joker effect: cooperation driven by destructive agents (2011)

https://arxiv.org/abs/1103.3257

Keywords: public goods, cooperation, destructive agents, cycles

Abstract: "Understanding the emergence of cooperation is a central issue in evolutionary game theory. The hardest setup for the attainment of cooperation in a population of individuals is the Public Goods game in which cooperative agents generate a common good at their own expenses, while defectors "free-ride" this good. Eventually this causes the exhaustion of the good, a situation which is bad for everybody. Previous results have shown that introducing reputation, allowing for volunteer participation, punishing defectors, rewarding cooperators or structuring agents, can enhance cooperation. Here we present a model which shows how the introduction of rare, malicious agents -that we term jokers- performing just destructive actions on the other agents induce bursts of cooperation. The appearance of jokers promotes a rock-paper-scissors dynamics, where jokers outbeat defectors and cooperators outperform jokers, which are subsequently invaded by defectors. Thus, paradoxically, the existence of destructive agents acting indiscriminately promotes cooperation."

>If your 4x5s are barely beating your D3300, that's on you. Only the higher end medium format digital really matches 4x5 in terms of resolution

These two statements contradict each other. There is not much difference in resolution between 24MP and 50MP (4.9 : 7), so if I was getting ~50MP of resolution in my 4x5 negatives, you wouldn't expect to see a big difference, even if I was doing everything right.

>Moreover, if you do a 'DSLR' scan of the negative, you can get quite a bit more detail.

This is in fact what I do (using a very sharp pre-AI 55mm Micro Nikkor). I do get benefits from stitching multiple 24MP "scans", but this is because there is always some resolution loss in scanning. So, sure, I might end up with a 100MP file, but I find that I can typically reduce that down to around 30-40MP without losing any detail.

Do you have an example of a 100MP scan of a 4x5 negative that loses detail when reduced to, say, 50MP?

> I like generics, but why can't there be a language that doesn't have them?

Python,Ruby and Javascript don't have generics ... because they are dynamically typed. Go has generics, maps and array are container types, you just can't define your own. To say Go has no generics is stupid, it just doesn't allow you to define your own. Instead you can use catch all interface{} everywhere like dynamically typed languages.

> Not every language has to have generics, when I want to use them, I simply switch languages.

This statement makes no sense at all.
Yahoo to rename itself 'Altaba' after Verizon Deal
Hi All,

We've just launched the Redbeard Marketplace as a place where customers can purchase complete end to end native (Obj-C/Swift) apps developed exclusively by the Redbeard Team. We’ll have clones of some of the biggest brands out there so you get to know how an App like Twitter is developed for example.
We’re launching with 2 Apps, Taskeedo (Which is totally FREE) and RBnB, our AirBnB inspired clone that’s available right now.

Right now we're trying to get a feel for whether there's any demand moving forward with Objective-C or if we should just concentrate all our efforts on Swift only (It's very time consuming having to write each app twice). So it's a decision we're hoping the community can help us with.
Ah, the good old "the good old". Diagnosing everything I say as some classic fallacy only works if you can explain why it's wrong. Did I not post a contradicting study?

> It's not possible to show something like sexism universally

It might be, it'd just be hard. I assume from the above you are accepting I was right?

> but you are the one hand-waving away the evidence we have that sexism exists

This isn't what 'hand waving' in the former context means. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand-waving

The burden is on you to provide evidence for your overly general statements.

> that's just one argument people make

I picked that as a good example. Do you have a better one?

> that doesn't make it entirely wrong

It doesn't make what wrong? The wage gap? ok - but I never claimed it was - there is no evidence it is a problem, and by default we don't act on things that are not wrong. Sexism can, and to some degree will, be a factor; The question is what can be shown by reasonable analysis, as opposed to ideological rhetoric.

I think you are the one moving the goalposts here. You appear to have gone from "sexism definitely exists, we are all a little sexist" to "we don't know sexism doesn't exist".

> or the whole of feminism somehow invalid

Please stick to the things I said. This is the second time I'm saying this now. you are the one making generalizations here.

> unless you think teaching a child about feminism is wrong

I'm going to stop arguing this because I think you are being willfully ignorant. I clearly don't thing "teaching a child about feminism" is the correct characterisation, nor accept your "implication" (I've said twice now I believe the feminism shown here not to be "all" feminism) so repeatedly trying to frame it like this is not productive.
Being correct thrice is not proof that he was not lucky, after all, there's a man who was struck by lightning 7 times through no effort or genius on his part.

> Another problem with vpnazure I had is that I'd have no way of seeing where the traffic flows inside the vpn interface. Thinking about it now, probably could be seen in traceroute. But at the time, I thought about looking into tcpdump of vpnserver or setting up a firewall. And that was too complicated for my hobby set up. The point of my concern was that I wanted to see whether any traffic is leaking onto third party servers managed by SoftEther or otherwise. Of course I'd want the traffic to flow across the internet, but I'd expect it to take the path it would take if one of the nodes was a natural server.

> Also, all the traffic is managed by vpnserver (softether's one), which makes it a little opaque in terms of where the packets go out of that process.

I see what you mean and I understand your concerns.

If you'd like to see the path from your connection to the VPN servers you can always do a traceroute to its public IP. However for concerns regarding what they do at the server level, if a 3rd party manages the VPN server, you only have your trust in them and their degree of transparency. Next step would be to go self-hosted, but then you need to trust the hosting provider too.

Thank you!
