As a paying fastmail customer, I would appreciate such an option.

However, you do have to make sure that if I lose access to that account, I should be able to create a new FastMail account and have new traffic to my domain be directed to the new account. i.e. you do need some way to migrate a custom domain to a new account, if the new user can prove ownership and/or control of the domain name.
Can you give some examples why you feel that way?
Law of White Space in Design
There is no demand for password only protection without recovery because it is not available on the mass market. Just like there was zero demand for cryptokitties a few months ago and now there is significant demand. You can only see a demand if there is and option for something and people use/don't use it or after conducting a poll.
I think the addition of the phrase, "thus benefiting from Google's work", refutes an interpretation of purely technical capability. If that phrase had been omitted, I would be in agreement with you and would have had no reason to comment.

Just because marriage has traditionally been defined one way in your society does not mean that all societies you interact with must adopt the same definition.

In fact, your burger analogy perfectly demonstrates the point. Yes, once upon a time, "hamburger" meant a patty of ground beef. However the word "burger" has long since lost the implication of meat and is now freely used to refer to any and all grilled, fried, and baked patties served on a bun.

It's not as though the hamburger was created specifically to be a meat product, and the non-meat hamburgers be damned: it's that when the hamburger was created, the only things of its kind were made of meat. A veggie burger can be "fake meat", but it isn't a "fake burger" unless it's not actually food.
You are right, they are not exactly the same type of programms. Nevertheless, most of the time they are used for the very same thing: to transform your development source to format which is best to be delivered to the browser (bundling).

Actually, I still use Gulp to call Rollup.js as it is more flexible and allows me to use features which are not the scope of Rollup.js (e.g. automatic browser reload). My point is, that the exact thing Rollup.js focuses on is very important for the long-term development of JS: Modularization. Yeah, I know thats an upcoming part of the JS standard. But with Rollup.js you can use it today, as it has various adapters for legacy formats and therefore you have a tool which allows you a smooth transition into the future ;-)

The network fork is exactly what I described.

With IOTA, it operates in a similar fashion. The winning chain is the one with the most successful hashes discovered. Just like bitcoin, except instead of a winning chain happening after ~2 hashes, it happens after hundreds(?) of hashes.
If you're at all interested in something from a similar era that has also aged (in my opinion) extremely well, try _Kind Hearts and Coronets_.
Sorry. I never should have used guns as an example.

I don't know much about it, and it's hard to deal in "not a problem" terms when it comes to life and death.

I do think even this speaks to my point though, about looking at examples as fully fleshed out examples. There are all sorts of "gun problems." All sorts of "gun rules." All sorts of simple and complex relationships between those two things and a whole lot of other things.

The relationship between gun accessability and suicide is fairly straightforward. But both suicide and gun availability are related to a bunch of other things.

*I'm not talking about gun laws (don't live in the US, own guns or have a strong opinion), I'm talking about how we think of policies using examples.

It looks as if it doesn't play 1.e4 much as white. Since these statistics are for self-play games, that means it won't get a lot of opportunities to play 1.e4 c5 as black. Still, it does seem as if it likes the Ruy Lopez and French better as black than it does the Sicilian. (It would be nice to see a little opening "tree" with move probabilities, rather than this list of 12 most-popular-among-humans openings.)

[EDITED to add:] A couple of other remarks:

Playing against Stockfish, the Sicilian seems to give it more wins as white and more losses as black than any of the other openings listed here.

What's shown here are two particular versions of the Sicilian; for all we know there's a lot more 1.e4 c5 in its self-play than the graphs suggest (e.g., maybe as white it prefers 2.c3 or 2.Nc3 or something). Eyeballing those graphs, these 12 openings account for substantially less than half of AlphaZero's self-play games.

Houdini for example tries to make it so that +1.00 evaluation is a win in 75% of cases in blitz games and +1.5 represents 90% chance of winning (http://www.cruxis.com/chess/houdini.htm). Anyway, this is not a problem at all, this was introduced so less electricity is wasted when the position is a clear win/loss.
> Most drugs are de-facto legal since the laws are simply not enforced

Sorry, but I just can't agree with this. The laws are there, the government says they still apply and have zero interest in any sort of repeal or reduction of illegality. Every attempt to push forward a more sensible policy say on Cannabis, in particular, is shot down. Eg the recent response on [1].

The police might be turning a blind eye (in some regions more so than others) to some possession but it is still illegal and you still run the risk of someone deciding to charge or fine you. If you're caught in possession multiple times you will end up in some sort of trouble, however minimal [2]. Actually getting hold of the these drugs involves interacting with actual criminals and I doubt they're submitting tax returns on the profits.

If anything this unclear muddy state is in my opinion much worse - it's a complete mess purporting to be the moral highground.

Does that number control for the gun-related suicides? Obviously that is not what people mean when they talk about gun violence in the US.
Yes, that is why the transaction fee for BTC has increased in the past (see https://fork.lol/tx/fee), which some people didn't like and argued for a larger block size.
Yes, this is really strange. Hash table size is a major contributing factor for strength of chess programs. It looks like a very artificial limitation.
Does flying somehow reduce the energy consumption of Bitcoin, or how is that relevant?

But you are correct, we should not be flying as much, and many people advocate reduced subsidies and increased taxes on flying. Maybe a mining tax would be a good idea.
Location makes sense, that's what I meant. Gender is too private, is represented naively, and exposing it to advertisers results, in my (trans) experience, in actively unpleasant ads.

Oh, and from my experience with things like YT flipping the gender bit on me regularly: you may be cis, but you should be concerned too. The way ads are targeted based on gender is _not_ benign at all.

Market cap defined as price * total supply is a fallacy because it does not account for liquidity. Order books are fairly [0] thin even at the larger exchanges that you only need to buy/sell a few thousand BTCs to have a significant impact on price. If you consider the potential of wash trades it gets even easier. Bear in mind that up to 1/3 of all bitcoins mined could have been lost[1] and only a small amount of actively traded anyway.

A good parallel would be that Tesla is valued by the market at 500+ billion, but it's impossible for all shareholders to sell their shares for 500 billion because there are no buyers with 500 billion in cash waiting to buy Tesla stocks, and if anyone tried the price will crash after the first few percent has been dumped.

Haskell is an evolving language and the error story isn't entirely resolved yet. Personally, I like the MonadThrow stategy which gives the flexibility to the caller but the IO story gets in the way.

So yes, it can be messy when using other people's code because this is very much an unstable part of the language right now. I still prefer that over the worst possible strategy (what Go picked) being effectively baked in.

Inherited a complete mess of a system (response time measured in minutes) running on an Xeon E3 w/8GB of RAM and 500GB of spinny rust.

It's going to take months if not years to unscrew some of the mess so I suggested to the boss the quickest way of improving it was to upgrade the server so we ordered a Xeon E5 dual processor system with 32GB of DDR4 and 1TB DC grade SSD.

Once I've ported the system from PHP5 to 7 on that and moved to a recent MySQL version we'll get a very nice perf improvement for basically free and then I can refactor the mess and at the end we'll have a better optimised system running on much better hardware.

Hardware is cheap, people's time isn't.

From wiki about gun laws there:

In 2016, the defence ministry estimated that 2 million privately owned guns are in circulation, which given a population of 8.3 million corresponds to a gun ownership rate of around 24 guns per 100 residents. This is roughly a quarter of the rate in the United States, and lower than that in the neighbouring countries of Germany, and Austria, but about the double of Italy and France.

Quarter of guns per person US has. If US taxed gun manufacturers an used that money to buy back 3/4 of guns off the market it would surely have bit less gun related problems.
It still causes suicides -

The doggy style sex  – Nude-Gals Blog
The correct question following your line of reasoning is not the one about gun ownership, but "Laws against murders are only effective on people who care about laws about murder".

However these cases are fundamentally different. Only criminals abuse children, hijack planes or commit murder.

Guns, on the other hand, are not only used by criminals. They can be used by citizens for their own protection, to prevent crimes. For example, consider a woman preventing a rape attempt by using her gun. Or the recent case of the Texas church, which could have resulted in many more deaths if not by the actions of an armed citizen.

When you forbid gun ownership, then only criminals will have access to them. You remove access for regular people but keep it for criminals who would already have access to them anyway.

“Sapiens” by Yuval Noah Harari. It was published back in 2011, but I just got to it this year.

It’s a concise history of humans. Common for books to aim at this, rare to hit it.

The most interesting thought I took from the book is that humans and civilizations biggest advancement was the ability to accept collective fictions to assemble greater than just small tribes. Nations, currencies, religions, morality.

The concept has been stuck in my head like me moving a smooth stone slowly around my mouth.

The description on the conflict and resolution between Neanderthal and Homo Sapiens was interesting as well.
Ah okay, I assumed that it would link to the podcasts.

YouTube uses it for the viewing of full movies that you've bought from Google Play but view on the YouTube website. Which is about 0.0000000001% of the content on YouTube and not terribly relevant to this thread.

The YouTube TV service doesn't use EME, no. And isn't terribly relevant to this thread either.
I don't agree at all. Building things from scratch has never been easier. The difference is, today you can build highly complex stuff "from scratch" as easy as simple things. Components are ready to use, javascript and node can steer robots, machines, drive mobile and desktop applications, etc. All of this is set up like nothing.

In the same time it costs you to boot up notepad.exe and create a HTML wireframe, create-react-app/electron/etc has already set up an application that is modular, knows dependencies and resources, is debuggable, can hot reload, etc. The time you would spend to get this manually ... it wouldn't even be fair to compare.
> The new features are not meant to be used "on top" of old features, but instead!

That is very powerful indeed. From incompetently playing around with stuff like that, my impression was that "constraints everywhere" is also extremely slow. That's not surprising, there's a lot of machinery working below the surface to deliver all that power. To recover performance whenever the full generality of the paradigm is not needed, I expect we'd need to work hard, say very smart static analysis, or JIT specialization, or...

But certainly my incompetence made me miss a lot. If you know how "constraints everywhere" can be made "fast everywhere", I'd love to hear about it:-)

I have seen some people suggesting the Silk Browser as a work around, I have tried it is it not very user friendly and does not work at all with the youtube/tv interface.

But the sky has fallen. For these people the big evil is the thing they are fighting against. They dont want gay marriage not because of its impacts but because they dont want gay marriage. Full stop. They dont want to decriminalize drugs because they dont want them decriminalized. When an issue becomes so internalized, so tied to ones identity, it is impossible to change. We need to work on keeping people from identifying themselves so much by which actions they permit in others.
Really not, it's just like marriage involving people of the same gender. There's no practical difference.

Marriage has meant all sorts of things over the ages in various cultures.
