If you control the root DNS servers for .io, you can simply not answer the DNSSEC queries. Many resolvers will fail open.

HSTS requires the site is HTTPS with a valid cert. If you own all .io, you can use LetsEncrypt to get that for free. They now even support Wildcard Certs! :-) That said, you would have to choose your targets carefully and/or load balance your requests to LetsEncrypt. There is a rate limit. There are browser plugins that can tell you if a cert just changed, assuming you have been to that site prior.

Then there is Public Key Pinning. This would be great, but I suspect the number of big companies implementing this are low. I don't have numbers, but you can test your favorite sites in Qualys[1] or using testssl.sh[2] that only depends on openssl and bash.

You could proxy all requests to the real root servers for .io and only become authoritative for the ones you wish to target.

Given the small number of zones, I think a modest server could keep up, or you could balance the load on a bunch of VM's. It may take a while for anyone to notice. I am curious actually, how many fellow geeks have nagios/sensu alerts that would tell them if the root server IP's changed.

All of this said, there are BGP attacks you can do that accomplish the same thing for any TLD and the IP's wouldn't even have to change. Only more advanced monitoring tools that keep an eye on route path might notice, but probably would not alert anyone.

I make no claim they are or not, simply that making a claim about banks doing something isnt anti-intellectualism, unless you believe making an unverified claim (in your eyes) is anti-intellectual.

Wikipedia states "Anti-intellectualism is a hostility to and mistrust of intellect, intellectuals, and intellectualism commonly expressed as deprecation of education and philosophy or dismissal of art, literature, and science as impractical and even contemptible human pursuits.[1]"

None of that is happening in the grandparent (as far as I can tell.)

You can certainly accuse them of biased unverified information and demand proof, its just not anti-intellectualism.

Human-Centered Machine Learning
Google Plus was a last ditch effort by a company to get, and keep, any kind of foothold in a market that they continually failed at. It was to my knowledge, at the very least, their fourth attempt (Orkut, open social, Google Buzz, Google Plus... am I missing one?). Calling it a "very real competitor" seems a bit overstated.
> I think that real-time webpages has been one feature that every techie thinks is really cool and just around the corner, but the general public just finds annoying.

Ain't that the truth. Granted, I still think it - like many features - are great in concept, but very difficult to get "right". It's really hard to beat static pages for simplicity. Nothing is changing on the user, the scroll bar isn't jumping around in size, they know exactly where they left off, etc etc.

If they raised only $1.5M then it stands to reason that either the umbrellas didn't cost $8.82 or they didn't acquire 300,000 of them.
As it says in the quote you provided, the difference is that it tests what the result would be of the merge, which differs in that a merge might introduce regressions; if you've never had a bug introduced by a merge not doing what you expected, consider yourself one of the lucky ones.
The onus is on Reddit to detect and punish voting manipulation.

When someone proposed a similar voting manipulation trick on Hacker News (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13676362), dang explicitly notes that such techniques are a good data point for voting manipulation detection algorithms.

From my computers dictionary:

Infotainment - broadcast material that is intended both to entertain and to inform.

Information - facts provided or learned about something or someone.

From that, I believe infotainment is intended to be consumed as entertainment, while also being intended to inform. As opposed to just raw data or facts which aren't necessarily distributed with the purpose of entertaining.

They said they were using fake email addresses. I'm also not sure if there's any meaningful way that Reddit can fix this sort of issue either. Sure, they can keep an eye on some suspicious accounts but yeah...

Their test cases were 600 ppm, 1000 ppm, and 2500 ppm of CO2, and they found measurable differences in human performance between those.

I am curious what would happen if they dropped the CO2 concentration down to something that's less than what they see in an urban environment? Does dropping to 300 ppm or 0 ppm have any measurable benefit? Are there any downsides to breathing air with no CO2?

(For not-so-capable browsers using author level pseudo-user-style sheets the `star` must have raised specificity, like `:not(#\0)`.)

It's not exactly news that autonomous cars are expensive right now. Saying "there will be a band of time where they remain not-cheaper, even with multiple users" is pretty obvious. But the tech is going to continue to get cheaper after that.
The pricing of Cheerios doesn't seem to suffer from the principle-agent problem, though. No one but consumers really 'wins' if cheerios are underpriced. And to my knowledge they don't continue to be traded once they're bought, either, so it's sort of apples to oranges.

I've been writing code to do things in this area since 1999. I wrote a RSS parser in Delphi in '99, was in the RSS/RDF/Atom wars, wrote a aggregator with Bayesian filtering in 2003, and I'm one of the authors of the ROME Jave RSS library. I'm currently running a research project in news event prediction and detection.

I don't think anyone wants bias detection.. or maybe they do so that they can only read things that they agree with?
Medication may ultimately be the answer for you (I know you said you can't go there right now). For me personally, getting the correct medication was literally life changing.

That being said, I'd suggest being really, really specific in what you want to accomplish. Forget all the grand plans, just nail down one very small thing you want to get done and post it here (gives accountability) Also post the very first thing you need to do to get started on that thing. It may be something as simple as "open up my IDE on my laptop and create class Foo"

Get into a loop of tiny improvements. Make each loop only take a few seconds. If you are making a web page, get the simplest possible page up and running and then add just one more tiny thing to it and refresh the page. If it's something you can't see, create the simplest possible unit test and then code against that.

When you have so much stuff you want to accomplish, it feels overwhelming and distracting. Boil it down to one thing, anything, and start there. The same approach works for all kinds of stuff by the way - writing a novel? Just open your saved draft and add a single sentence. Exercising? Do nothing but put your running shoes on and step outside, even if you come back in right away. Trying to mentally plan the entire thing in advance is exhausting so don't do it, only do the simplest thing that you can possibly do to start - usually it's enough to do one more extremely simple thing, and another, but don't get ahead of yourself - you don't need to worry about any of that stuff right now, only the very first step.
It's off topic because (a) the subthread became about Git usability, which is not the topic and (b) it's one of those subjects that quickly sucks the oxygen out of other discussions. Not nearly as badly as systemd of course, but still.
"each morning over coffee each day" here is worth calling out especially as a useful habit in support of maintaining stable circadian rhythms. If you wake up at the same time each day (or sunrise +/- a fixed interval) and perform a focus-intensive ritual while consuming a stimulant drug each morning, your brain may simply learn to wake up each morning to prepare for the task ahead, synchronize your morning cortisol spike with your recurring wakeup time, and have you ready to get out of bed each morning without any urging from your alarm.

This isn't obvious because the rigor of fixed sleep/wake times is harsh on modern souls. You have to go lay in the bed in the dark and quiet at the same time (or sunset +/- fixed interval) each night, with your phone screen down, DND'd, and charging. If you like to read at night, you may be able to prepend bed with reading as long as you always begin at the same time, and in the same place, and especially with the same lighting.

This stuff isn't guaranteed to work without more investigation along cortisol and circadian lines, but it appears to work by default for something like 50-80% of humanity, so you might be one of the lucky ones.
> Your comment, and essentially every other single one on this entire thread thereby makes me wonder if anyone on this subthread read the article :/.

Just let people talk about what they want to talk about, maybe? The main problem in the article is interesting but far less actionable than the overall situation of slow compilation.

Do you want things like rampant speculation and insulting windows 10? Do you expect everyone to pull out kernel debuggers to be able to make directly relevant comments? It's okay to talk about a related issue. Concluding that they didn't read the article is kind of insulting.
[Slow clap] I trust their (MS) motives about as much as I trust any large monopolistic for-profit organization. I.e. not at all.

In the long run their only goal has to be to get rid of competition.. ie: no ubuntu, no linux.

So in my mind anything they do regarding linux is bad news.
I'm not sure I'm understanding things correctly. What I meant was that the test chronologically occurs before the merge takes place. But the test includes the merge itself; it's testing what the result would be after the merge. Have you used the system I'm talking about/do you know what I mean? Am I still misunderstanding something?
So create more work for themselves that they don't actually have to do. I'm sure some developers might be willing to do some of that in their spare time, but I think "a lot to ask for" is a serous understatement.

>longer wait times for non-emergency treatment

I really want to see actual studies on this. We Americans LOVE to throw this in the face of the countries with single-payer, yet we conveniently gloss over the fact that many Americans PUT OFF health care procedures because they can't afford them. I've done it and I know many, many others that have as well. Oh, this is going to be 1500$ out of pocket and doesn't need to be done today? Great let's schedule it for 2 months out.

Additionally, Americans also have wait times for non-emergency procedures. Colon cancer runs heavily in my family and so all of the older members get regular colonoscopies. I have several anecdotes of family members having to wait 6 months before they can get it and get theirs done.

AMERICANS ARE NOT ANY BETTER WHEN IT COMES TO WAIT TIMES. However, the onus is typically not on the provider, it's on the patient. So we describe the situation differently even though it's the same outcome, the patient has to wait for treatment.
Snapchat is like Instagram in the sense that it helps keep you updated on what's going on in your social circle, except it's on a daily basis with an extra dose of "comical" photo filters. It's more of a photo sharing platform than instant messaging.

GBPJPY: Backs Off Higher Prices, Vulnerable
It certainly wouldn't fix everything, but there are certain type situations it would help fix, yet the philosophy hasn't been tried (at least as long as employer-sponsored health cartels have been around). True price transparency requires that a given provider charge exactly the same amount, regardless of the customer - prohibit bespoke "negotiated" rates, hidden kickbacks, etc.

Just today I went to an major-hospital urgent care clinic that has an upfront $50 fee to "be seen". I normally avoid the system like the plague it is (hence not wanting to pay into its protection rackets), but my girlfriend had gone last week for the same week-long fever and had a good experience, so I figured I'd give it a shot.

The person working at the desk told me that there "could" be "extras" that would be beyond that fee. Okay, cool. The physician's assistant recommended a chest x-ray, added it was around $75, then confirmed it was $56, and I quickly agreed. My girlfriend was a bit miffed she had turned down the x-ray without knowing the actual price.

When it came time to settle up the bill, they had added on a $130 charge because the PA had added on some billable event for her seeing me, despite that this should have clearly been included in the "$50 to be seen".

This is textbook fraud, yet it is allowed to persist. I complained, and was met with the standard "it's nobody's fault" attitude, because these people are really just skinjobs on an opaque computer system. If I had been my normal self (currently dealing with some major life events), I would have only paid for the x-ray and told them to shove their unauthorized charge up their ass. Alas, they dropped the fraudulent charge to $80, but the bad taste remains.

If I had been told the higher charge up front, that would have been completely acceptable - and if I thought it too high I could have gone to a competitor, or simply not gone (never before in my adult life have I gone to the hospital for a fever).

And that doesn't even address the travesty of the only result coming out of this visit was receiving a prescription for the exact same antibiotic my girlfriend had received a week prior! It would have been much easier for her to buy two simultaneous doses from the pharmacy, but the cartel has that locked down as well.

My take is yes since it's coming from 'law enforcement agencies' but maybe it's not as comprehensive as it could be since it's 'voluntarily submitted'

Jawbone's Demise a Case of 'Death by Overfunding' in Silicon Valley
Reminds me of the TV I grew up with. Grandma bought it in the late 50's/early 60's and it was color enabled, even though color television was not here yet. The fact that she bought a television that would not have it's full feature set available for a few years is telling, they expected it to last. It was given to my parents when they bought their house in the mid 70's and remained in place until 1999, it was replaced for the 2000 Olympics (and had awful picture quality by then).

A few more years and it would have entertained a fourth generation, but I think lasting 4 decades and surviving long enough to play N64 games was quite an achievement.

I think that people always want to look for the worst in every situation. America's healthcare system may not be up to first world standards for treatment.
