I've used a few registrars over the years in different ways.

About 10 years ago I used pair.com because they also had PHP hosting and that's all I knew at the time. I did little with them.

I think for a very brief period I actually used godaddy for one or two domains.

A few years later I used gandi.net because they were "no BS" domain name registration, which I think was a direct reaction to having a hard time using godaddy. I mostly used it to point to custom slicehost servers. Later I also configured the DNS to point to github pages. Since they're in France, there's an extra step and extra few minutes before you get your domain names approved.

A few years after that I started using namecheap instead, and still use them. They give me the same amount of control as gandi.net but with a simpler (less confusing) interface, and they're in USA so they don't have the same delay that gandi.net has. I've pointed them to EC2 instances but mostly to github pages.

Recently I experimented with buying a few from Route 53 on AWS, mainly so I could see if it was all that big of an improvement to have everything on AWS. For some reason I'm getting charged like $2 every month for some (or all?) of these domain names, and it's a charge that's slightly annoying to me, mostly because I don't really understand what the charge is for (I think they said some sort of DNS routing fee or something?). I did like the integration with other services that Route 53 gave, but the flexibility and customization needed to get that integration working seemed like overkill and was definitely harder to figure out than the other services. Again I've used them successfully with both github pages and EC2.

Personally I would go with namecheap if I had to buy another domain name.
But note that there's no attempt to control for the (extremely strong) anti-histamine effects of these drugs (particularly elavil.) You need to test them against other anti-histamines which can also improve apparent health, a lot.
I feel like you are being a bit harsh. What is really the exposure in this case?

I can't really imagine that there are that many blackhats trying to get free Netflix accounts when torrents or Usenet gets you more content anyway.

And while yes, there is some friction getting torrents, it's not nearly as much as trying to phish multiple people in hopes that they will pay for your account.
I'd hate it if websites started implementing that, I like being able to register to the same site with the same email multiple times.
Agreed. Apologies for keeping my first post too brief.

I think, quite firmly, that what we call ai we'll be used to augment many techniques without replacing them. I share the scepticism that it will replace them.

Though, I think it is prudent to acknowledge the progress that has been made. My self twenty years ago would be impressed with what we have. I suspect the same will be true in another twenty.
I've got news for you, any individual or business is liable for knowingly aiding criminal activity. If you read the FBI report you would know that the issue is not that criminal activity was happening on their site, it is that the site knew child exploitation was happening and they helped modify the wording of the ads to avoid law enforcement.
And of course I have no controversial opinions about historical and contemporary religious history, the good and the bad.

This is not saying that everything in Pharo is perfect, but in future could you please frame your criticism to indicate your pain with Pharo was with alpha features.
I wish requiring validation was still the norm. I get that services and sites want to reduce “friction” and get people using it right away, but anybody like me with fairly generic gmail address knows, many people don’t know their own email address. I must have hundreds of active accounts linked to that email that I didn’t sign up for (although I’m sure a lot of them can’t be logged into anymore and the people can’t recover their passwords). That account became unusable, I got my own domain account a decade or so ago to replace it but still look in there occasionally.

Please though, anybody implementing signups - if you are going to let people sign up without validating email addresses, put a “I didn’t sign up for this account” link in every email you send.

>here is nothing different about Qualcomm's or Apple's extortion-like rates

True,except you can work with android in smart phone apps, you don't even have a choice inn Qualcomm case.
It’s hard to quantify, you have to use it to understand the difference. IMO BlackBerry had the best onscreen keyboard, followed very closely by Windows Phone. And while iOS keyboard has issues with Autocorrect, it’s gotten a lot better in the recent days and is still miles ahead of Android keyboard. There is a good reason third party keyboards are so popular on Android while most people stick to the stock one on iOS despite third party keyboards being available on the platform for many years now.

> Whether or not dots or +asdf is considered okay, an email address used for identification needs to be canonicalized in order to avoid duplicate sign-ups.

Since it isn't a standard or norm, how would that work? These are gmail exclusive features, and other services have other unique features.
Hover.com, great user interface with no bloated advertisements. Moved there from GoDaddy years ago.
I have a concern with that. Say I train the filter to treat emails from company X as spam, and then in the future I sign up with company X and their emails to me get treated as spam.

I dont know for sure if that's how the filter would behave, though.
I use iwantmyname for the reasons mentioned by the others. I originally met a bunch of the team at a hackathon in Wellington, New Zealand which is where they're based. They're a nice lot with no upsell and reliable service. As mentioned in another comment, they focus on doing on thing well which is nice.
And it's tucows! Great interface, great company. Private registration by default.

Education google apps users can whitelist videos for student google accounts on their domain, but I don’t think it actually works because I’ve approved videos and my students still can’t access them.

Also google doesn’t officially consider youtube to be part of google apps for education even though it has the approval system for YouTube videos.
I switched from Namecheap to Namesilo and been very happy - same solid price all the time, plus included free guard.

If a disgruntled employee knows your domain name, they can call Namecheap and claim its theirs. I had such trouble at one of my companies - while they didn't get a hold of the domain, upon validating company name, address and domain name, Namecheap opened the ticket for them and kept our domain on hold for 30 days before the situation got resolved. They did not shut it down, but we were unable to access it or change any DNS records. From my understanding, anyone upset at you enough can contact them and claim the domain is theirs and you stole it from them. That experience made me move out to Namesilo for USA domains, and Marcaria for international.

Source: I'm holding about 50 domains in general since circa 1999.
InterNIC only allows registration through Network Solutions. I don't understand the question?

Fantastic recommendations! This hits my favorites out of my wife's cooking viewing and they've both entertained and improved our cooking and the enjoyment of creating memorable dishes.
I have also been with Dreamhost for years and register domains and use shared hosting with them for a few websites. I have nothing but good things to say and I think it's really cool that they are Employee Owned.

Ten or so years ago when I was in high school and I put up a PHP web proxy at Dreamhost so that I could browse blocked sites on the school desktops. It ended up on some web proxy list and got flooded with traffic. I got the most kind email for such a blatant ToS violation:

> I've had to disable your domain due to it almost crashing the server because someone was hammering the proxy you put up there. We do not permit public proxy scripts on shared webservers; please remove the software. You may reenable the domain with non-proxy content if you wish.
eNom
Very impressive. Does the federal government have anything comparable to this?
eNom (although prices have been slowly climbing over the years but I don't think that's unique to them specifically)
If you were to OEM Windows at all, then Microsoft charged a fee per computer you sold whether with or without Windows, (to encourage Windows use), is how I'd put it. That was illegal (but enforcement was VERY slow.)
Given what’s going on with the population register in Assam and certain groups right now, this is not a groundless fear at all.
I think that's over thinking it a bit, youtube algos are easy to manipulate and a single thread on 4chan can create a fair bit of weird media, for the explicit intent of creating weird media.
I appreciate the "dots don't matter" feature, but have always felt it required an API for external developers to canonize gmail addresses for this precise reason.
I only take handluggage. That's ever since my checked in suitcase ended up in Kuala Lumpur instead of in Toronto.

Since then all my luggage is what I can carry on. Besides being substantially faster on the far side it really forces me to think about what I will take with me and whether I really need it.

Switching to a Macbook Air running Linux made this a lot easier (before that it was a Lenovo Battle Axe).
Should, yes - but the law has become a contradictory tangle (thanks in part to strange judicial decisions) and the Senate refuses to revisit it or create coherent law; no doubt because large corporations love the (functional) lack of this law, just as it is. We desperately need patent misuse law back.

> I get your point but the phone companies wouldn't be able to survive

Do we need them to survive? They can and should go the way of the dodo and leave place for ISPs instead.

> and when I talk to people on wifi it's never as good as a phone call

That's a side-effect of crap Wi-Fi gear, but can be resolved by placing the call over LTE and using stuff like MPTCP to combine both the Wi-Fi and LTE connection. In fact, VoLTE is essentially SIP (which is IP-based) over LTE, so there's a good chance you're already using an IP system and not realising it, which I guess proves the point that it's good enough if not better than legacy circuit-switched calls.
Apparently it’s been corrected to 2017.
+1 for namecheap.
Ask HN: How to prepare for a 'troubleshooting' interview?
I recently had an on site at Google for a Systems SRE position. I did not get the job and the feedback that my recruiter gave me was that the hiring committee found my performance in the 'troubleshooting' interview to be lacking. I guess nothing can beat the experience of actually dealing with outages but I was wondering if anyone has suggestions on additional resources for this kind of interview.

The one's that I'm aware of:

* The troubleshooting chapter in the Google SRE book
* https://jvns.ca/zines/
* http://www.brendangregg.com/linuxperf.html
* Reading about past outages: https://github.com/danluu/post-mortems

Thank you very much!
I've used Dynadot for many years -- no BS, no upsell, reliable, easy to use. Also gandi.net for certain TLDs that Dynadot doesn't cover.
In this piece, Alexis Madrigal gives one of the all time most straightforward descriptions of how neural nets work. Kudos.

Your observations are perfectly correct, the short answer is these are low quality (and sometimes exploitative) job shops. You should avoid.

What I think is going on is that consulting stratifies into two groups: high quality consulting exactly as you envision with high pay and freedom, and these consultancies which effectively are low quality labor.

Obviously avoid the later if you have no other choice. In addition to the shitty pay, you will suffer serious penalties to respect and the projects you’ll work on will be the least attractive (and sometimes shitty and dangerous in other ways).
I took Paul Graham's advice a number of years ago and went with EasyDNS:

And I think it's also a good idea to use separate hosting companies and registrars.
That seems like a reasonable non-tinfoil-hat explanation. So why does the elsagate videos follow MKUltra patterns? Is is purely found to be more effective for monetization purposes?
>I have literally never seen this.

I was responding to this part. I apologize that my comment was poorly worded and I'll admit slightly obnoxious.

Still I am surprised that you never noticed, during your visits to China, the degree to which they wish China would be the one that takes over US as the superpower of the world. When I have been there it has never been hidden, but then I tend to get down into the culture rather than remaining at the expat bars. Again I'm not saying YOU stay at expat bars... like I wasn't saying YOU are American... but just responding to what you actually wrote about what someone else actually wrote.
There was one other contributor who was equally or even more disappointed by the first viewing on opening night, the composer who had been hired to write the score, who found out then that Strauss had been substituted.
This doesn't report the length of time one might experience these symptoms. A couple of days with the flu vs 2 months of electric shock sensations is a big difference, and could influence whether someone would want to start using these medications. (I personally experienced the latter side effect)
don't know how big a deal the harness really is. Even getting out of a helicopter underwater with a regular 4 or 5 point harness with a single-point twist buckle after a crash, especially if the vehicle isn't perfectly vertical, if there's debris or gear inside, etc. is going to be very difficult for anyone who hasn't trained in it.

Well, the pilot -- wearing a normal belt -- was the sole survivor; and claims that he tried to disengage the belt of the passenger next to him unsuccessfully before escaping.

from the NTSB preliminary report:

"After impacting the water, the chin bubble on the pilot's side began to fill with water, which quickly covered the floor. He kept his restraint on and reached down for the front seat passenger's carabiner attachment to the helicopter. He turned the knurled screw "two or three rotations"; by that time, the helicopter was "listing past a 45° roll." He then decided to egress
the helicopter, and by the time he unbuckled his restraint, he was fully under water."
>The problem is that a number of people in that same system don't see any need to get people off these medications

Why is this a problem? If long term studies prove detrimental effects then sure, it's a problem.

But taking a pill every day isn't inherently bad for you. If you live in a northern climate you would probably benefit from taking Vitamin D every day your entire life, so what's the fundamental difference of an SSRI?
Hmmm. I understand that by answering in the negative (no, its not possible), i would put myself into the "64k is enough for anybody" type comments. Which is to say, since its not a logical impossibility and not a well defined concept and our technology/understanding is increasing, odds are we'll at least make headways towards it to the point that its already pretty good. One could argue that we're already there compared to statistical environments of the 80's and 90's.

Honestly, I think this is a tricky human problem, not a tech problem.

My reasoning is thus. I've been known to argue that even R is bad from this perspective: I view its success (apart from its free/OS nature) due to the fact that it carries with it libraries, a functional flavour, tied around a core engine/philosophy of implicit actions preference to result production rather than bothering the user.

These enable a person (with just enough knowledge to be dangerous) to load an externally authored package (that has neither been tested nor verified) with one line, load a dataset with one line (which silently corrupted or changed something during import), and apply a function in one line (which silently coerced objects/values in the background and unreliably expressed/suppressed errors and warnings). Where it does express warnings/errors, it does so unreliably/unhelpfully, so amateurs are led down the path of excessive warnings/errors where things continue on regardless: ignore them.

To many, what I've written up there is not a bad thing: you get statistical analysis in three simple lines for free, all while copying and pasting scripts from stack overflow or the internet.

Now, i'm actually working on my own hobby project of designing a language/library for my own use which is designed around fixing those principals: still function based, interactive, fast, no implicit coercion, allowing flexibility while imposing restrains and guarantees.

But I'm under no illusion that it would necessarily be popular if i ever realised it to the public. The attraction of R is that you get a model out in three lines, rather than 14 errors and no result telling you that there are issues involving realms of thought you didn't know you were ignorant in and you'll have to go away and study before you continue, or even that your data might not be suitable for what you're doing. It might not be a good piece of work, but cynically, for the type of person buying into such a mind-set of quick analysis via "darts thrown at an analytical wall", i'm not convinced that quality genuinely matters to them (even though it matters in the effects it has on the public further down the line).

And i've not even gotten into the problem that in the real world 90% of work is not analysis/modelling but in data cleaning/munging, critical thinking and technical problem solving, and that there's another layer of problems below that one which most academics and professionals rarely engage in, which is questioning the systematic/contextual nature of the data before it got to your data set (which no software/interface i'm aware of currently addresses and most people just blithely ignore).
For the sake of completeness, I'll expand:

It's rarely up to the interventionalist if and when they will treat a stroke. There are clear guidelines on treating these patients (which mostly take place at comprehensive stroke centres), mostly defined by the neurology service, which functions somewhat independently. These guidelines have been expanding as newer evidence has shown a role in wider time windows but this point remains the same. There is very little opportunity for an individual interventionalist to increase his patient volume independently (at least for ischemic stroke).

I agree in principle with most of the points you make, although I think perverse incentives are largely a function of the US healthcare system in general rather than the domain of any particular specialty.

In specific relation to the original article, I'm extremely doubtful that combing two anti-thrombotic agents would be a miraculous therapeutic regime for treating stroke but I'd be happy to be proved wrong by a legitimate trial. However, I'd worry that we'd be sacrificing patients that could otherwise be treated if we assigned them to an arm of a trial that precludes established therapy.
