sad to see your comment down voted but there are laws that bicyclist have to obey and they should prove they know them. this would include showing they understand the protective gear requirements and how proper attire protects them.

it isn't uncommon near some bike parks where I am for groups to block intersections which only serves to aggravate drivers. The are required in many areas to pass through intersections like all other vehicles, alternating with those waiting on the cross roads.

the bikes should be tagged to indicate they have the proper reflectors and lighting. there are still too many riding without reflective clothing let alone any type of lighting in low light conditions. I ride, I hate the idiots that ruin the sport
When you say 'purpose'; what do you mean? I have trouble conceiving an all-powerful entity having purpose at any level of the universe because it's meaningless to have purpose when you're all-powerful.

HEVC is basically mandatory in new TV sets in Europe as part of the new DVB-T2 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVB-T2

The new digital TV standard frees some frequencies for 5G. Most channels will broadcast with HEVC Main 10 (bits). There is also a Main 8 which will probably not be used for long and people should be careful about what they buy.

At least we won't have HEVC on the Internet.
I've been doing this ever since they released certbot, but I can't really vouch for the stability of this method. Changes to your virtual host config can break this very easily, especially if rewrites to https are involved.

Oh I assume and hope the regulators will strike down any such measures. They did, for example, also strike out mandatory newsletter acceptances (i.e. those where you could not create an account without "consenting" into handing your data over to advertising).
Agreed but about 99% of the meat we eat in the US comes from factory farms. So unless you only ever eat meat that you are sure comes from humanely treated animals, which pretty much means never ever eating in restaurants, you won't be eating much meat.

Producing meat in this way also can't come close to supporting even current global demands for meat so it's not really a solution.

I can create "773c7d.13445a.acme.invalid" in almost all shared hosting control panels I have access to.

When I send an HTTP request with Host: 773c7d.13445a.acme.invalid, the server responds with a file from ~/domains/773c7d.13445a.acme.invalid/public_html or a similar directory available through my FTP account.

When I connect using openssl s_client ... -servername 773c7d.13445a.acme.invalid, the server sends a certificate configured for 773c7d.13445a.acme.invalid in my control panel.

Is this a problem for Let's Encrypt? Doesn't Let's Encrypt's verification require creating files with random names in http://example.com/.well-known/acme-challenge where example.com is the certificate's common name?

It eliminates one possible foot gun.

A web host or CDN might allow arbitrary domains to be added, and arbitrary certificates to be uploaded for said domains, all without any validation. That would ... not be my favourite implementation, but if you didn't know about how the Web PKI and ACME works, that's an implementation you might come up with and not expect a whole lot of issues.

However, it's unlikely that the web host would allow you to do this for a domain already associated with an account, or a subdomain of such a domain. Unlike the first case, this would effectively allow an attacker to fully control any subdomain, so even without any Web PKI involvement, that would be a vulnerability in and of itself.

It remains to be seen what the two affected providers were actually doing, and I don't really have enough data to make a call on whether it's actually worth changing this aspect of tls-sni-02, but it's something to consider.

Another thing is that we don't see how their code generalises - how it performs for different scenes not shown in the demos.

You've been downvoted for saying so, but you're right, impaired driving laws has drastically altered rural culture. The center of that culture was the house party, and the only way to get to those is to drive.

But what really killed that culture was the internet. The expression was: "There are only two types of entertainment in a small town: drinking and fucking". Now teenagers just spend all day playing Call of Duty.

I haven't succeeded in that area yet. But here's what I would do:
I'd get a job for about 20h/week as a developer because I like developing. I'd charge a rather low pay and make sure already in the interview that the boss knows I can leave any time if he pisses me off too much. Reason being that without a regular main task and daily interaction with the same people even the biggest loner feels lonely and useless.

Then I would spend a lot of time travelling, prepping travels, honing my hobbies, and probably I would also make investing more of a hobby. I expect it's good to see the effort and ambition of other people succeeding, even if one is only passively involved in what they are doing.

Last but not least: I hope you ask this question before you succeeded financially. In the big topics in life one should have at least a broad idea what one wants to do before huge failures or huge successes are incoming.
I'm not sure where this presumption is used, but I much prefer the general idea of falsifiability (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falsifiability), where you make a hypothesis and then try to disprove it. If you can't disprove it, then maybe the hypothesis is true. However, in this particular case you can make either hypothesis: other animals do feel pain (etc.) or other animals do not feel pain, so I don't think either approach moves you forward on its own.

Just like humans are generally all alike (with few exceptions, such as size, food preferences or favorite pop song - we really are extremely similar to one another in almost every aspect of our life), so are animals much more like humans than many people think, and for me the default hypothesis is that they are indeed similar.

Then we try to disprove it. How can I prove that animals do not feel pain? Well I can try a few things:
- Maybe they don't run from harm?
- Maybe they don't fight when attacked?
- Maybe they don't dodge hits?
- Maybe they don't care about predators?
- Maybe they don't have nervous system at all which we believe to be the basis for pain? (also based on an observation of people whose damaged nervous system made them not feel pain)

Turns out, all those things are broadly true about animals, so it's hard to prove they don't feel pain. So maybe they do?

If you try with thoughts, consciousness, abstraction, planning, communication, emotion, detecting emotion of others of the same species or other species, etc. you will quickly find that:
- for some animals it seems quite certain they do all that
- for some it's unclear how much they can do
- for some it's almost certain they don't do any of that not just because they don't have the type of brain area which in humans is responsible for this, but also because there is nothing in their behavior, senses etc. that even resembles that kind of function.

I don't need to prove that my dog feels pain. Assuming he doesn't, why does he bark, bite, squeal etc. when something hurts it?
There's a difference between pain and suffering.

e.g. a human on an opiate drug can feel pain signals but not be bothered about them. Yet he can still suffer from the knowledge of his impending death.

We can measure pain signals in animals; we can reasonably guess that most species don't know that they're eventually going to die. More than that we don't know yet. Perhaps when we understand better how the mind works (e.g. by developing AGI) we'll be able to understand animals better too.

> Making yourself smaller is generally less threatening, but making eye contact or getting in their faces can be more threatening.

The core point is: move slowly. Hectic movements will induce stress in any animal. Give it time to react to your presence and try to look at the body language (especially if it tries to back away from you or growls/hisses at you)... how often people fail to respect a hiss, it's unbelievable.
I get you, wrong wording, it's not exactly a standard unit test, etc. But it doesn't change the meaning and intention of it - treat infrastructure as you treat code (I guess that also includes debating whether something is a 'unit' test or 'other' kind of test).

Also, having a file on a container (which is probably the easiest test to perform) often is _the desired behavior_ of a command or something else.

>This is why it is far more ethical to eat animals who have been raised in conditions that allow them to thrive happily and wholesomely.

I used to think that, but it's not a defensible point of view if you examine it a little more critically. Animals like pigs (or rather, their very very recent wild ancestors) have needs and behaviours that simply aren't useful to agriculture, and they can't possibly life fulfilling lives (not to mention that they should also be living for about 15 years rather than under a year).

The least we can do is to not eat them. It took me a long time to accept that, but that's how it is.
On the subject of drops, it's worth speaking to a pharmacist about getting eye cream/gel if you find that you suffer from dry eyes.

I used to get occasional headaches, and maybe once or twice a year I'd get a minor corneal abrasion, which I assumed was from stuff getting into my eyes. After a while, I was recommended by a doctor to try an eye cream for night use, and the difference was vast. Alongside my eyes feeling much better, I was sleeping better as well, which the doctor put down to how the eyes move in the head while asleep, and my eyes scratching against my lids.

I use drops during the day when I feel the need to, and on occasion when I feel tired I'll use the eye cream. Since then, no problems with my eyes and no headaches.
I made 90% of my winnings online, and treated live tournies and cash games as kind of a break from my real job.

I don't advocate for such hosting providers to not mitigate that attack. It's a real problem and needs a real solution, no matter the technical or political reasons that lead to this. Those hosting providers might not ever want to use LE for their customers and might arguably not be "at fault", but still their customers are at risk and they should take steps to protect them.

But I still think it's a different problem in this case. In the end I suppose my argument is that this is a design flaw in this challenge and we ideally should not use it in it's current form, just as we no longer should use postmaster@ for domain validation (but the technical argument against postmaster@ is again a fundamentally different one).

Edit: I realized I was wrong and removed one part of my response regarding IP lookup as a positive sign of domain ownership.

That applies to the http-01 challenge. The tls-sni-01 challenge works solely based on the returned certificate. If the SAN value in the certificate matches the SNI value sent by the validation server, the challenge succeeds.

Would you mind sharing which control panel you tested this with?
> "Assuming he doesn't, why does he bark, bite, squeal etc. when something hurts it?"

Because that is an evolutionary successful thing to do. The barking and squealing communicates to other dogs that there is danger, and the biting is simple self-preservation.

Any word on the current state of encoding speeds? From what I remember of VP9, it was very, very slow in comparison to e.g. H.264/H.265.
As others mentioned, asset sizes are one problem. I'm currently involved in a production where render nodes got upgraded to 128GB RAM, since 64GB wasn't enough.

Also, path tracing may superficially at first glance look like a good fit for the GPU, but once you look closer, it becomes less so. With incoherent rays and surface shaders, memory access quickly becomes the bottleneck and the GPU cores stall. There are approaches to improving that (batching and sorting), but those can add quite some complexity.

Out-of-core memory for GPU rendering can allow for scene sizes to exceed VRAM, but then memory access becomes even slower. Again, with sorting and moving things to VRAM on demand there are paths to reduce the impact of it all, but those are again not trivial given the incoherent access pattern of simulating millions random walks.

What's amazing about them, then?
I understand this and I've noticed trends with the news sites going back to a subscription based model due to adblockers. The drawbacks to any model that is premium is that a large part of the audience is cut off from the content. For the publisher it is ok because that audience is non-monetizing but those readers are essentially cut off from information because they might not be able to afford it. That is similar to the Web 1.0 days when a large part of the world was using shady sites as most US based sites where hidden behind a paywall.

Adblockers and ads actually are a vicious cycle. Adblockers block ads which then requires more ads to be shown to the people without adblockers in order to recoup revenue which forces those people to install more adblockers.

We are already seeing attempts (from shady sites) to mine cryptocurrency in the background. While this might work on desktop, it is killer for the phones and not very usable.

My best bet is for the Web to find their own model of micropayments with freemium content similar to how mobile games are doing it.
Paywall, using the google search also reports a paywall.
Could we drop this kind of sites? There's alternatives.

There is no such thing as jaywalking in the UK, it's neither an offence (with the exception of motorways, which also regulate the type of vehicle which may enter), nor a term that's widely used or understood.

Outside of cities, there are lots of roads without pavements (not just in super-rural areas). Walking on them is normal, and people know how (e.g. always walk on the right, facing oncoming traffic).

And I very much hope it stays that way. Cars should not rule our public spaces.
