Most dns servers don't allow zone transfers, so I don't believe you'll be able to enumerate domains like this.

In general enumerating domains is not really possible (you can't just dump all North Korean domains for example, and people have tried).

I'd start by figuring out how they are blocking sites. Probing to see which IPs are blocked would be much easier. There are various tools to lookup which sites are hosted on a given IP address (using crawled data).

One way to do this would be to try connecting from outside Pakistan (e.g. EC2 server) and from inside and seeing if a IP is blocked.

Scanning all 4 billion IPs surprisingly doesn't take too long on a modern internet connection.

For an executive, I don't care tracking cause and effect of their individual actions. I care about the aggregate outcome for stakeholders (shareholders, customers, and employees).

Whether 13 weeks of paid parental leave or this healthcare plan vs that one or this change to the telecommuting rules that they advocated for is irrelevant. Did the company succeed and thrive and serve its stakeholders?

One measure that I've seen recently (and like) is "compounded growth rate, over 6-10 years, of the 3 year moving average of stock price" from grant to payout date, subject to minimum thresholds [so you're not just paying for ordinary market growth].

That measure is also imperfect, but it seems less imperfect than others. (Disclosure: the company I work for adopted such a plan last year, so we won't know how it really plays out for at least 5.5 more years. Edit: program summary here: http://ir.cimpress.com/mobile.view?c=188894&v=202&d=3&id=aHR... )

I'm not sure where all the aggression and distrust comes from, but if you had done a a simple search, you would easily see that your points are false.

1) a) Every single line shown are thin lines except for the 6 lowest average-ice years, which is clearly marked in the legend (2006-7, 11-12, 16-17). That makes for 34 thin lines and 6 thick lines.
b) Also, why would that visual distinction be misleading again? All it would emphasize are when the low-ice time periods are - in the recent decades. It's not like there was a low-ice period in 1979 or something that the author intentionally made thin.

2) It is not visually possible to pick 40 colors that are distinct enough in color space that you can consistently tell at a glance (i.e. when you look away and only compare the next color from memory). Go ahead and try it. Visual perception researchers have tried (http://vis.stanford.edu/color-names/) and the best you're going to get is maybe 12 (http://colorbrewer2.org/)

3) This is so wrong, it's not even wrong:
a) the data only existed starting in 1978, because the Nimbus 7 launched in 1978, so this is the whole available data (http://psc.apl.washington.edu/zhang/Global_seaice/).
b) Global sea ice isn't in perfect lockstep with temperature, but larger temperature trends and currents and other factors, so talking about a handful of warmer or colder years doesn't even make sense.
c) Even if it were, I still don't know what you're talking about. See the NASA land-ocean temperature index (http://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/global-temperature/). You could have started in 1977, or 76, or 75... you'd have to go all the way back to 1945 to find a warmer year, and that would be missing the whole point of the overwhelming trend.

I'd be very careful to make sure that I'm not the one doing the public a disservice when I openly accuse people of manipulating data. I wish everyone showed a similar courtesy.

I think there are some important points alluded to, but maybe not explicitly pointed out:

When the sparks leave a relationship, you have two choices: put in effort to it happy and fulfilling, or leave it. Those who have a happy marriage put effort in (note that putting effort in can still leave you with an unhappy marriage, because it takes two to tango).

Additionally, love is not blind. A good marriage is probably made up of two people who are painfully aware of their partners shortcomings. I would venture a guess that the husband in the article is very aware of his wife's foibles, but has chosen to be happy in that marriage, because there's a lot in there to him happy. Ditto for the wife.

Lastly, though I don't think it was explicitly mentioned in the article, I think lots of physical affection, including but not limited to sex, is an important component of a happy marriage.

I think this is a pretty poor understanding of the vulnerability. Yes, runc was split out from Docker but it now is maintained by many companies, including Red Hat - so to suggest that Docker software was "so terrible" doesn't sit right.

Not to mention that this is a fairly gnarly CVE - a great catch by SUSE and Docker - and claiming the software is terrible because it contained this seems like a real stretch.
Great question. A few reasons I've heard are:

1) Have many family members nearby. Besides wanting to be near them it also is a support network they would lose.

2) If your not skilled it's not easy to find decent jobs, especially remotely. There are no recruiters calling.

3) It cost money to pick up and relocate. Even if it's only hundreds dollars that is an obstacle when you have zero disposable income,

Still, it seems like it could be good idea when there is no chance of ever prospering in SV.

Should be noted some zoos do spend enough on habitats to make them worthwhile, however this is very slim as well as not doable for all animals.

In my state (Colorado) we have something called a sanctuary [1]. From humans being put high up into the air (via a 40 foot tall bridge that crosses the entire complex) which simulates a more natural way for us to observe the different animals they house (they specialize in carnivorous species), to larger and more natural feeling habitats for each different species (over 720 Acres devoted to over 450 rescued animals)

They spoke of Zoos and how bad they are most of the time, however the Denver Zoo they said were better then most other Zoos in our country when it came to building decent habitats. However in my opinion the sanctuary is an example of how every Zoo should alter its setup. I wouldn't even mind helping donate to my local zoo for this change and I highly believe the masses would contribute as well.

I suppose points 2) and 3) can (but unlikely to -- see below) be unintentional, but point 1) is clearly intentional and sufficient to consider this chart manipulative.

As for the color scheme choice -- almost any other option would have been better. If the colors were random, it would have removed the ability to recover the trend in any way except of tedious manual comparison, but at least it would be certainly bias-free. If mapped to some color gradient -- well, fitting 28 points is hard, but at least close colors would have matched close years. But this scheme is different. It _looks_ like the gradient map, and invites the reader to mentally build the year-to-year trend, but some colors are nearly repeated in distant areas! This is a cardinal sin of using color mapping for dimensional representation, and it's hard for me to imagine this could be done unintentionally.

Not to mention that this is not a good choice for representing YTY trend; 2D color map, like in https://xkcd.com/1410/, would be so much better.

hevc (h.265) has specialized hardware which encodes or decodes much faster than other GPU solutions. I believe typical graphic cards come with hardware codecs within them but I am not sure.
Regarding why hevc isn't so easy to use with GPU, it comes from the way video compression is done. In video compression, you don't really process each pixel one by one independently. Instead, you consider blocks of pixels and you look for similar ones in other pictures. So it is not much about having many similar small tasks but really one big one. Besides, to minimize the information to send (i.e. to compress better), the compression of each block is based on what the left and top blocks have done. If I compress all my blocks in parallel, I will not be able to make them use each other's information.
Does this help you see the big picture?

I've never seen a company that has different assessment based on education, if it's for same role. Especially since most of what you learn in CS degree is irrelevant to web development.

New $27M Fund Aimed at Teaching Morals to AI
" Francophone networks are weak. They are very local, and poor"

A) French speaking Quebecers are poor, relative to N. America. Median wages are 'ok' due to lots of 'decent' government jobs, but mean wages for Francophones are very low.

B) Francophone business networks usually don't expand beyond Quebec. There are no elite Universities in Quebec (McGill is pretty good, but not French), and there is zero access to networks from elite schools among Francophones.

C) There are very few wealthy Francophone Quebecers who 'write cheques' for startups.

Ergo - networks are very weak here, it's just a fact.

I've lived in several cities in N.America/Europe, this is by far the weakest of 'known cities'. It's probably better than Orlando. Or Dublin. But worse than any of Boston, Toronto, Vancouver, Frankfurt, etc..

"The "career" of an artist, as you mention, is not something for you to judge the quality or success of. "

I'll judge these people however I want, but it's not a judgement to point out that people who prefer to serve coffee and write 1 short play every 10 years aren't the kinds of people who build high-tech startups. I know these people very well (I live in ground-zero of French Montreal), they prefer to do other things, that's fine, it's not a judgement, just a reality. (FYI Bukowski was prolific - he wrote tons of stuff).

A 'circus' - yes. I can't think of any other place in North America where 'Cirque du Soleil' could be born. And it seems there's a huge plethora of 'artisanal' small-scale things ...

I like Montreal, which is why I live here, and I have no doubt there will be some startups here and there that will win, but it will never be the 'leader' in any classical, industrious lines of business. There will likely never be a full-blown ecosystem here for any industry that doesn't already exist.

The people here do not have any interest in building it.
> What is the minimal state of completion this project needs to reach for me to consider it a success and having been worth my time?

I used to think like that, but this is a moving point. As long you finish a list of things that you deemed important, many others will replace the old ones and the list actually will never be empty. This feeling of fulfillment will never come.

So I'm doing differently this time in my startup (that was also my side project for a while). I created a funnel and measured everything. I cannot develop anything on top of my head (We, developers, are creative by nature, and it's easy to find a myriad of interesting new features). The new feature needs to come from data and user feedback only. No exceptions.

The funnel is completed and has being measured, then the project is completed. Everything beyond that is just optimization. This was a shift in my mind and I feel much better because I finished the project, instead of constantly open. And of course, this is not a mind tricky. The project is actually completed.
Also people maybe should realize that vp8 and vp9 are not entirely based on free patents. Instead, Google pays companies to use their patents and distribute the related technologies freely.
I was hanging around work a bit late one time. My phone beeped and I said "Oh crap, she's gonna be pissed that I'm still here". One of the other guys - a really great guy and engineer - looked at me and said "At least you have someone that gives a shit that you're late." He was single and nobody was going to complain that he was late that day.

That helped put things in perspective for me.

>"Montreal has more students/capita than anywhere in North America, due to a clustering of big Unis downtown."

This statement is not true, its not even close:

Montreal with a population of 1.65 million and 248K students would mean around 15% of the population are students.

Larger students per capita in North America would include:

Ames, Iowa 34.2 percent.

Ithaca, New York 32.8 percent.

State College, Pennsylvania 31.8 percent

Lawrence, Kansas 31.1 percent,

College Station-Bryan, Texas 30.6 percent.

For just raw student population numbers in North America:

Chicago has a student population of 670K.

Dallas-Fort Worth and Miami have 380k students each.

San Francisco, Atlanta, Houston, and Detroit each have 300K students.

I think if your goal is launching you've got to make sure the work you're doing is enabling that to happen sooner. Once you start prioritizing as little as possible into pre- and as much as possible into post- launch bad ideas start filtering themselves out during the wait.

I think one of the big traps is convincing yourself part of 'make x to do y' always includes 'learn a new stack' that will be 1% technically-better but 800% slower than what you used last time. Pretty crap optimization if you goal is to launch anything.

I think for developers on HN it's also very easy to build something with the expectation we'll want to discuss it 2 - 3 times a week on the front page for them to get users, neatly solving the business side in advance!
