> For the second query, the client will select one of the .io name servers in the previous response, and send it the same query.

And if the client selects one of the fake nameservers, that doesn't have to respond with the correct answer of delegation to the nsX.dreamhost.com., but can give whatever fake answer it wants, and has successfully executed the attack(?) What nuance am I missing? That 3/7 of the requests will go to a non-fake NS, and some will initially be cached, and thus the takeover isn't complete (which from my reading the source article didn't claim)?
There's a neat Wikipedia map of eclipse tracks for the last 1000 years:

Someone who can math may be able to answer your actual question. My guess is that polar regions are more eclipsed because the lunar shadow subtends a greater area there.

Like nick, I'm close to 30 years old too. Snap is big in all my social circles. Mostly people between mid 20s to early 30s. Less popular the older you get, but still significant. Regardless, all have enough buying power.

Even if Snap never gets much traction past people in their 30s, that's enough of a market to expand for quite a while. The 18-34 demographic is the most coveted. The pre-teen and teen market isn't something to completely sneeze at either.

They are quite literally setting the prices of IPO's though, by fiat, and not via an auction or some other market-oriented mechanism.

> I'm sure there are rare people here and there that care how much a mile of highway costs

No offense meant, but I find this attitude really odd. I'm not from US and only have an overall idea how things work there, but I wonder... Isn't that still your money, even if you pay $0 directly and the rest comes from the shared pool your insurance payments or taxes are also in?

I just tend to believe there ain't no such thing as a free lunch - someone has to pay for the medical services, highway pavement or sewer line installation. People can't be expected to work for free, right?

So I think anyone participating in a collective funding effort should have at least some rough ideas how the money they pay are used. If we don't care about how government or insurance company (or whatever entity we pay our share to) manages things - we would surely end up with insurmountable burdens called "things running out of control".
It's lower than what the provider charges other insurers, that doesn't mean it's below the provider's cost. It's also commonplace for providers to bill insurers one amount but the insurer only pays a lesser amount, it's a little game they play. Pricing of medical goods and services in the U.S. are very divorced from the actual costs of providing them.

Also, Medicare and Medicaid can't negotiate drug prices.

I feel Norman Borlaug (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Borlaug) is worth mentioning. As Penn Jillette put it, he's probably saved billions of lives.

We need more Norman Borlaugs, and they need more recognition. This I believe because I agree with you: sure, we could still fix things, but we're not going to. So we better start coming up with ways to handle this. Think of it like creating a mail alias for someone who keeps misspelling an email address. It's a technological solution to a people problem that you can't fix (not easily), only on a much, much bigger scale. We hear people all the time here ask "how can I change the world through X?" or "what should I do with my life?" The answer is simple, but not easy: apply yourself to fixing this mess we've gotten ourself into, because if you don't, your children (or even you) will suffer the consequences.
30 million walking ad display platforms, renewed at every raining season. Oh Yeah!
The banks compete against each other on price - the company gets to freely choose the underwriter and they take price into account.

Do you have evidence the banks are colluding on price?

Edit: to clarify, no the banks do not really set the IPO price. The banks offer different underwriting prices. The company ultimately chooses the price among the many banks' offers.
Which adds to the company's cost, but doesn't add any value to the umbrella's user.

For some of these you may have to resort to the "ludicrous claim" approach, because people will provide information to correct you when they would never provide it just because you asked - go look at old Usenet discussions if you don't believe me.

When they won't provide price information, act as if they've just told you that it's going to cost more than $100,000 and repeat that to them. If they then say "It's not going to cost that much!" "Oh, you mean you do have some information on how much it costs?" Then work them to more detail from there "Well, is it more than 50,000?"

You may also be running into a situation where the person thinks you want an exact price and doesn't have it, so be sure you tell them you're looking for a ballpark number - or if they've irritated you and you wish to unleash the snark, "Ma'am, I'm trying to find out whether I'm going to be feeding my family on rice and beans for a week, a month, a year, or until we lose the house and my child's getting meals at the women and children homeless shelter while I'm out on my own."

Edit: It doesn't quite have to be as ludicrous as I started - a simple "Oh man, I really can't afford $5,000 for that test right now." can also get the conversation started and information flowing.

It's entirely subjective, of course, but when I torture the machines the i3 go from usable to uncomfortable while the i7 goes very usable to unbearable. The Xeon goes from very usable to usable. Could be the i7 throttling more heavily from thermal issues.

It would "help" in the sense that people would forgo care.

Sure you might shop around for a non-emergency specialist one-off procedure like an MRI, but the cost of MRIs is a drop in the bucket and wouldn't meaningfully impact overall healthcare costs if they were an order of magnitude more expensive. If you have "normal" insurance plan your insurance provider has presumably already shopped around and only providers willing to take the reduced rate are "in-network".

Don't get me wrong: you should be able to get a cost estimate up front and it is silly that it is so difficult.

Price transparency isn't the major problem in healthcare. The free market and profit are the major problems with healthcare. To set prices a free market requires price discrimination and the ability to price some people out of the market. That translates into debilitating illness (a deadweight loss to our economy overall) or death for serious medical issues. A free market in healthcare absolutely requires that some people be allowed to die of treatable diseases in order to maximize profit.

To put it another way: As a technical matter it is impossible to discover the maximally profitable price for a treatment without raising the price beyond at least some people's ability to pay.

The big issue with CO2 indoors is that it is a strong indicator that airflow is poor and oxygen levels are usually low in those buildings.
I just tested this on my machine (gcc 5.4.0). At -O2, gcc produced normal looking assembly code. At -O3, gcc produced a monstrosity [0] that I don't feel like fully deciphering.

However, from a brief glance, it does not appear to have created a closed form solution. Instead, it contains a single loop:

.L4:
addl $1, %edx
paddd %xmm1, %xmm0
paddd %xmm2, %xmm1
cmpl %edx, %eax
ja .L4

which seems to be using a SIMD instruction (paddd[1]) that adds does 4 32-bit integer additions in parallel.

After this loop, it does some "housekeeping" (read, something I don't understand) before proceeding to an unwound version of the last iterations of the loop:

leal 4(%rdx), %ecx
addl %edx, %eax
cmpl %ecx, %edi
jl .L2
addl %ecx, %eax
leal 8(%rdx), %ecx
cmpl %ecx, %edi
...
jl .L2
addl %ecx, %eax
leal 28(%rdx), %ecx
cmpl %ecx, %edi
jl .L2
addl %ecx, %eax
addl $32, %edx
leal (%rax,%rdx), %ecx
cmpl %edx, %edi
cmovge %ecx, %eax
ret

Where .L2 is just:

.L2:
rep ret

I assume that this is just some form of return, but the documentation I could find [2] seems to suggest that rep is a prefix for string operations, which doesn't make sense.

I'm more concerned about classrooms. In France it's perfectly accepted to keep pupils for 4hrs in a closed classroom (except the break), especially if it's winter, because heaters are half-closed for savings. Now when I lived in Australia, vents are adequate for the size of the room, I wouldn't be surprised if it has a huge effect on population education.
It's not just obtaining the loans but the terms. I know someone who's immediate family doesn't have great credit and/or great jobs. They became a software engineer but had something like an 8.5% interest rate. He worked out of San Diego and hopped on a job in Atlanta because the salary and cost of living was better for paying off the high interest loan.
Thank you! This is great feedback.

> is this targeting all platforms or just PC at the moment?

All platforms.

> Any plans to setup a way to jump directly into a game with a group of people?

Not yet, but I definitely think that's worth exploring. I think the first step in that process is to build the capability to know when your team is playing. Then, if everyone is playing except you, we can let you know that you can get online now and group up with everyone. That alone would be valuable for a lot of people, and if we could auto-join you that'd be even better.

> Love the recruitment and players LFG though a drop down seems like the wrong mechanic to me (would be pretty cool to be able to show game titles as like squares in which you could select as your filter (IMO at least)).

The tough part is that there are so many games to support that it won't scale to show every game, so some sort of search/typeahead is necessary. On the other hand, the most popular 4-5 games (I imagine) will get the majority of the volume, so it might make sense to have a hybrid approach if we don't know what game you play already (show most common 'n' games as buttons, allow search as well). I'd have to experiment with that.
In addition one would have to address hardware virtualization features that would increase security, no?

> They are quite literally setting the prices of IPO's though, by fiat, and not via an auction or some other market-oriented mechanism.

Er, no, it's literally set by an auction (the auction occurring between the different banks who can underwrite the IPO).

A bank that is consistently able to predict the IPO opening-bell price better than the others, or is willing to accept a slightly smaller cut than the others, will win the auction, and will outperform the others on average.
IPOs are by definition "wealth transfers" from investors to business owners.

This isn't equivalent to "If I leave my door unlocked..." scenarios. It's perfectly legal to register any .io name you want. You can't go poking around someone's house.

It means Canadian salaries ought to be much higher since they aren’t paying health insurance for employees. It makes zero sense: US employers pay salary + health insurance. Canadian employees pay salary.

So it’s backwards. Canadian salaries should be a lot higher to reflect that they have a lower total employee cost.

Gotcha. Good luck; I'll certainly take a look when you're done. I'm currently using Todoist for a lack of a better option. I really want something that I can, very easily, move stuff around and not have to ever care about organizing but will still let me file things away.

Example: how I use evernote is I have 3 notebooks: Inbox, Filed and Shared. I put everything into Inbox when I'm on the go then I eventually tag it with all of the tags I think are appropriate and move it into Filed. Shared just contains any notes shared with me or interesting things I've found online. But there isn't really any ToDo type of apps that let's me do anything similar.
