It does seem like you're having DNS problems. See the following:

$ dig @45.62.204.178 blog.google

; <<>> DiG 9.9.5-3ubuntu0.16-Ubuntu <<>> @45.62.204.178 blog.google
; (1 server found)
;; global options: +cmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

That same command run against other DNS servers (for example, our public DNS server at 8.8.8.8) succeeds.

Even stranger, against your configured DNS server, requests for non-existent .google domains do work correctly, as does nic.google and sites on many of the rest of our TLDs (e.g. get.how and iam.soy). nic.dev and bar.foo do work for me but pki.goog and nomulus.foo do not.

It looks to me like you're having DNS problems. Can you switch your DNS settings? Or use a VPN that does that built-in?

Also, why, if you're in Brasil, are you hitting a DNS server located in Canada?
It is. It allows to search for function declarations with the regex '^[^( ]+[(]' (or similar) -- while more common in the past, many have adopted it and keep using it.

Personally I've come to find it nice to read, particularly when you're returning complex, long types.

Troy,
We don't believe we're running afoul of TOS and have good reason to believe this. We want to add value by mentioning product handles once to generate awareness about their profile and their ability to curate their presence in front of a large buyer community.

Of course, Twitter is free to change its mind and decide we're treading on the wrong side of the line and then ban the account or ask us to stop; we would immediately comply.

FWIW - we were already thinking of cutting back since it doesn't convert that well anyway. Feel free to report the account though. I kind of wish you'd done that instead of letting the mob loose. It's probably for the best that you're not actually a journalist.

Zoning is a huge factor here - many of the "crummy" dwellings 100 years ago were in buildings/conditions that would today be illegal. Whether that's a good or bad thing (and what to do about it) is a separate question, but it shouldn't be ignored.

>The way to get better security is to let the free market system work as its intended: Equifax should die a painful death by the masses, if necessary piecemeal one lawsuit at a time until the company coffers have been emptied (and preferably any directors, agents, vested entities, and anyone else within a legally-defensible stone's throw). It may sound harsh, but that's life and life ain't fair.

I'm not sure that's a good argument for the free-market. We just have to suffer security breach after security breach until companies clean up? It seems like a total willingness to admit security failures in the first place where regulation could help us here.

Ok, but isn't this then also the case for non-tail recursive calls? And ordinary recursive call builds just as well on the finished result of the previous call and no result is really "stored" in either case.
It's not checking your user agent - the banner is a warning, it's not blocking anything. And for good reason, WebComponents support is not stable in Firefox or Edge yet. The page won't work properly, but you can at least view it if you enable WebComponents support in about:config.

Thanks. I'm dispositionally conservative. In another era would have ended up a Rockefeller Republican; in another timeline, a libertarian. But when I honestly look at America's history in this timeline and the lived experience of a lot of people, I don't think we are yet living up to America's promise. That has made me pretty energetic in pushing against racism and sexism.

If you get interested, I'd strongly recommend "Sundown Towns", which looks at a conveniently unexamined phenomenon that a) did a lot to shape America's racial history, and b) helped me to see forces in play today. It's been a giant eye-opener for me.

My talk from CppCon 2017 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eH1CxEC29l8

Not a typical talk about testing. Here are some quotes from the Program Committee about it:

- "Seeing a talk proposal about a new unit test framework made me quite skeptical. But then I looked at slides from one of the previous talks, and this looks very cool."

- "I think others will be just as interested; this is just the kind of talk we want at the conference."

- "Doing interesting and meaningful things in header-only libraries can be a fascinating topic, and this presentation appears to address some very interesting learnings from such an experience."

- "The presentation is clearly well-prepared, having been given previously and iterated upon."
There's no precedent or issue-preclusion with arbitration. So any win you get in one case will have to be re-fought 150,000 times. Hardly a time effective plan.
I was just reasoning from the studies that exerting self control depletes your ability to exert more self control. In the study most often cited there is actually an interesting link to this exact phenomenon, though. The participants were asked to refrain from eating chocolate (although there is no indication that these people were trying to diet for any reason). Afterward they were tested on standard decision-making tasks, at which those who had to resist eating chocolate performed significantly worse than those who didn't. Then, they were given a glucose drink and their performance returned to normal. A person dieting would be both exerting self control to resist eating things and also resisting things that would provide more glucose for the brain to be using.

However, I seriously doubt this is specific to self control. I would imagine performing any action that depletes glucose in the brain would have the same effects. Prioritizing tasks and deciding tasks to delegate are a couple I've read which are supposed to be very energy-hungry (I've been reading 'Your Brain At Work' recently and its mentioned in there).

Expanding it, you're saying "If you can't self-sustain your residence from within an arbitrary municipal boundry, it's your own fault if others won't pipe water to you".

Nobody understands Systemd
awk is what got me into web programming around 1994. I was working at a GE subsidiary and all the documentation for the RTOS I was working on was printed in huge binders from actively maintained Interleaf documents. Once I found the SGML source documents on the server it only took a few hours to learn enough awk to convert the SGML into a fully interlinked set of HTML documents with a table of contents. Granted SGML to HTML is not that hard but it was fun and useful and much nicer to search as opposed to laying out a bunch of binders on my cube's desk.
Apple claims that Touch ID has a false positive rate of 1 in 50,000, and Face ID has a rate of 1 in 1,000,000. So yes, there’s a lot of room for Face ID to become worse and still be better than Touch ID.

But if you do use them, investing in a 3D printer will allow you to create your own and save a lot of money on the long run. You can even scale down regular models such as chests, barrels, etc.

It's a fun toy that you can buy together as a group of players. It usually take a few hours to print a model, so you can start a print while you play a game and have a nice surprise when you are done playing.

Printing the exact model of the boss your players are going to fight is priceless.

(I'm talking about a $200-$400 price range printer and not a $2000+ one mind you.)

There's an approximately zero percent chance the police would be involved in that.

Many police forces charge each time they respond to a false alarm, and the cost generally goes up each time it happens. On top of that, an automated alarm signal (with no human confirmation) is pretty much considered the lowest priority call, and they may not even attend at all.

This is why most businesses have a private security company to respond to their alarms. They're generally significantly faster (and often have a guaranteed response time), and if a security guard shows up, sees a crime in progress and calls police, it's actually a very high priority call and will get immediate police response.
Many people live in houses where anyone can walk up to your front door and steal what's in front of it. The delivery is not hard, it's what comes next that's the challenge.
I've called things a silly idea before and been wrong, so who knows.

That caveat in place, this might be a time to start from the bottom of the idea tree and try some of the more obvious limbs. If the problem this solves is absent deliveries, don't we just need bigger mailboxes or maybe even smart mailboxes?

Maybe they're thinking about this differently. Maybe it's about building trust, or just getting amazon smartstuff into homes for some other underpants plan. At face value, a cloud connected lock seems excessive.

On a shipwreck, huh? That's an interesting place to find a new and effective navigational tool. The boat carrying it should, in theory, be less likely to become a shipwreck.

I wonder where else we can apply this observation?

In the use of ECC memory, maybe? Or when analyzing web analytics, perhaps: if your site traffic only shows a small percentage of mobile users, you might choose not to optimize for mobile browsers. But instead there could be a problem with the source of your observation: Just like the archaeologists who discovered this marine astrolabe aren't observing both successful and unsuccessful sailors at that time in history, you're looking at the subset which has shown up on and used your site, and who have analytics enabled. It could be that mobile users aren't showing up in your "shipwrecks" because they're quickly bouncing from your difficult-to-use site or because their search engine can see that your site isn't optimized and it doesn't recommend you to them.
Loss of privilege feels like a loss. If you have no historical perspective and are currently favored by discrimination, programs attempting to undo historical discrimination seem like they're biased against you. They aren't.

As an example, consider the common practice of scholarships that are awarded based on both merit and economic need. A rich dude could be mad that he is being discriminated against. After all, they won't even consider giving him those scholarships! What jerks people are! He worked hard, and should be eligible for everything!

He's wrong, of course. His feelings are real, but his perspective is severely limited. If you're used to things being tilted in your favor, a level playing field is going to seem unfair.

> You only consent to allow delivery people into your home, not the police.

However, IIRC, if the delivery people (or landlord, in your second example) choose to report to law enforcement anything criminal that they see in your home _of their own free will_ and without any prior arrangement with police, that evidence would be admissible and could be used to obtain a warrant.

It's not that much different from past cases where Best Buy technicians found illegal material on computers brought in to them for servicing and reported it to police and resulted in successful prosecutions.

I'm sure it exists in theory but I've never lived somewhere with a system more advanced than "fold the door mat over it". And no home owner I know has a giant treasure chest on the front porch but if they did they'd still need some way to allow delivery persons to unlock it.

Best defense to theft seems to be paying a lot of rent to live in a nice neighborhood. If it's an expensive package they'll usually require a signature which means I'll have it delivered to my workplace. I think Amazon probably doesn't want to rely on people having lots of money and accommodating employers.
I think this varies massively between different situations. There are definitely good motives for sharing facts, and there are definitely bad motives for sharing facts. It is _sometimes_ a matter of arrogance and pretend intellectualism. Probably most of us have worked at a place where "that guy" was always trying to show off his knowledge. I got the impression that this was one of those times, but I could be wrong easily enough, and I've apologized to the original commenter in a cousin comment.

The phrase "I explained about longitude" paints a very different picture in my head to "I told my friends about this great book about longitude", but maybe that's just me.

I had similar thoughts. Has Amazon posted any statistics on package theft when packages are left at the front door? I'm wondering if Amazon is acting of perceived fears to strengthen it's foothold in the home or trying to reduce losses by subsidizing a somewhat complex solution?

>prohibiting the permissionless sharing of personal information in fact entrenches Facebook’s position.

Perl has an intangible "write once" property: since it allows for writing extremely sloppy code under the "there is more than one way to do it!" mantra, nobody, including the original author can debug it afterwards. Not even with the built in Perl debugger. Perl encourages horrible spaghetti code.
