Stupid complaint?

duck.com pointing to google.com is as if Microsoft had mac.com pointing up to microsoft.com and claiming it didn't matter because "It's called a Macintosh, not a Mac!"

This is more than a coincidence. on2.com is not pointing at google.com

AI file that as other of google dick moves, like with the maps article yesterday.

Personally, I got the message and does my best to not use their stuff. Cant afford it. At best unreliable/untrustworthy, at worst actively planning to do evil in the future.

What the people who want decentralized services don't realize is that the content creators want centralized services (whether they realize it or not).

You need a centralized discovery service (this is where Tor, I2P, Freenet, IPFS, etc. all fail). Centralized content hosting is different.

I might miss something, but what's so great about the airpods? Mediocre sound quality (literally my 8 bucks earpods have a better sound) and leaking so much sound it's obnoxious (if you're disturbed by music in the subway, look around: it's probably someone with Apple earplugs).

I don't think they were the first to make bluetooth earplugs? Is it the miniaturisation? The touch-sensitive thing?

I am always skeptical of these vast sweeping assumptions about a Universe which we have not even started to seriously explore.

Based on the best available scientific tools at the time, we once thought that the solar system rotated around the earth.

Based on the best scientific tools available today, we believe that our solar system and planet is extremely unique.

I think we don’t know nearly enough to say with any real confidence what solar systems outside of ours look like at this point.
From 200+ comments "cancel" was listed 4 times in that reddit thread and "return" was listed 5 times. Some repeats in there.
Saying "some past conspiracy theories were true, therefore $CURRENT_THEORY is true as well" is both a non sequitur fallacy (you still need evidence for any new allegations) and survivor bias (you're not talking about the tons of historical conspiracy theories that were dead wrong).

To expand on the non sequitur bit, here's an example I've used in the past: suppose I said, "The NSA has a constellation of mind-control satellites built with help from the lizard men!", and then responded to the deserved skepticism with "A lot of things that used to be tinfoil hat theories we now know to be true thanks to Snowden, so this is too!" Anyone can see that that's bogus reasoning, but that's what you're doing here. No matter what, every individual allegation needs to be backed up with its own evidence.
It would of course make sense if getting in the car reeking of any kind of smoke was theoretically punishable by a ban. But getting in a car reeking of tobacco smoke is covered only by the usual ratings system.

I assume this is simply a problem of large-company bureaucratic policies: they don't want to have a separate policy for every local polity, and it's fairly reasonable policy from a liability perspective to ban people on, say, crack or heroine repeatedly getting into Uber. The unreasonable thing here is the fact that weed is illegal federally, but everyone already knows that.
Ask HN: Should I become a DNS registrar?
I want to update the root servers for my few dozen hobby domains and I can see running a registrar as a hobby. The requirements look rather easy to meet. [1] I sit through audits all the time. Not sure if I really still have to run a Whois server, since that is going away.

I can not find an existing registrar that meets my requirements:

- No web UI, just an API

- Easily define apex nameserver records in API

- Drop domains no longer in use via API

Has anyone else tried to create a registrar and what technical or bureaucratic challenges did you run in to?

Something that covers abstract algebra rather well if you don't already know abstract algebra well enough to know what all the terms mean?

Other than the much smaller scales podcasts operate on, are there any podcasts where the host has turned it into a living? There's a _lot_ of video creators out there who make those videos as their sole source of income now.
Let me be clear on this: I am NOT saying that Java-Bytecode sucks. I am simply saying that WASM is better for the Web's use case. There is no shame in that, WASM was designed for that and could learn from the experience with many bytecode formats and also asm.js.

Even if we would agree that the JVM is as good as WASM as a language-agnostic bytecode, WASM still makes sense since it doesn't come with all the baggage of the JVM like class files, many bytecodes that exactly match the Java semantics but can't be used in other languages. Browser-vendors would still have to add new bytecodes for common operations for both size and speed reasons. So it made sense to design a new bytecode format. WASM even allows streaming compilation: The browser can start compiling bytecode before it downloaded the whole file.

Yes, there are a few features missing from WASM. But just look how many applications have already been compiled for the web. The missing features are not that relevant for many large existing and performance-sensitive native applications written in C/C++. We don't need to rewrite this applications in JS. I mean JS wouldn't even be fast enough for that anyways. That's what WASM was designed for and even according to you WASM is better suited for this than Java-Bytecode.

Inline assembly and vector extensions would also be problematic in Java Bytecode.
Comparing these shoes to Uber's issues seems a bit odd. Particularly since there isn't anything all that amoral about them.

Reeder works well enough; just because an app hasn't been updated in a year doesn't mean it's not worth paying for and using. The author's "hey I used this for a long time and stopped when it became paid can you promise me updates" letter is obnoxious.

The one thing I wish it had was a webview that would honor my content blockers; I think it's still using an outdated webview API on macOS.

Only two ways that I can think of:

* Move to an area where homes are cheaper
I think this is to be expected, since the app is not subscription-based.

We should all switch to subscriptions for apps that we use seriously, to avoid this exact problem.
Any reason this should be down voted? I read that "born to run" was partly a scam book (can't recall exactly, but the cover was photoshopped for one, and the stories about some runners never getting hurt was just totally false, etc...)

But barefoot running is a great way to run, no knee or back issues after doing this for years.

It's down so I can't see, but I assume this is doing a calculation I tried to do using passportindex and had trouble with:

Most passport rankings are by total number of places you can go. But given I already have one passport, what value do I get from a second passport? For example, Canada, USA, Uk, etc have fairly similar sets of countries you can go to. But maybe there's a passport that gets me access to the various middle Eastern and African countries I don't have access to. So maybe something lower overall rated is better as my 2nd passport.
Without taking away any of the merit of succeeding in crowdfunding anything:

people go to YouTube because there are awesome content creators that produce content you want to watch.

Content creators make money via Patron, but mostly via ads. If PeerTube became successful enough to get a lot of content creators, they would eventually want to monetize their videos.

PeerTube would now have to introduce things like "censorship" to make sure advertisers stayed on the platform, etc. etc. and eventually you would have YouTube again.

Personally, I really enjoy YouTube. I have an ad blocker and never see any ad whatsoever (although I did support a few content creators via Patreon in the past), the interface is great, none of the channels I subscribe to have ever experienced censorship or bad interference from Google--although they do play by the rules.

I really welcome alternatives, but the community on YouTube is absolutely great, and I really enjoy the platform. It won't be easy to make a lot of people change their mind, unless you offer something different (for instance, Vimeo with really good quality videos mostly, and short professional movies).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_analysis_for_the_Global_...

The largest source of error is ionospheric delay which changes throughout the day. This can be corrected with additional ground measurements (DGPS, WAAS) or a second receiver on a different frequency. GPS watches do WAAS but nothing else.

(As an aside, I have been unable to get my hands on any modern multi-frequency GPS receivers. If someone has a link to one that I can buy with a credit card, I would love it! But that rules out the industrial ones that are "call for a quote" because if you have to ask, you can't afford it ;)

Other sources of error are inconveniently positioned satellites ("dilution of precision"), multipath reception, and the intrinsic quantized nature of the code being transmitted by the satellite. (This last one can be mitigated by tracking the phase of the carrier signal independently from the navigation code, however. Not sure if GPS watches do this or not, but I suspect they do. A comment below implies they don't have the power budget for the extra CPU cycles, though, which might be true.)

An ideal model of GPS makes it seem like there are four unknowns, but in reality there are many more unknowns. You don't know exactly where the satellites are (ephemeris errors). You don't know if the clock on the GPS satellite is right. You don't know the speed of light through the atmosphere on the exact path between you and the satellite. You don't know the exact time at the receiver's location (internal oscillator error, etc.). You don't know that the signal from the satellite took a straight line route. You don't necessarily have an optimal view of the sky to be able to hedge against the other errors (HDOP/VDOP/TDOP). As a result, you don't get a pinpoint location in the real world.

(One last thing, it turns out there is a reason why GPS receivers give you separate speed and position outputs. Speed can be determined independently from position by monitoring the doppler shifts on the received signals. Many receivers do this, which is why your speed can be correct but your position wrong.)
>Anyone know what those signals are? A lot of 'end is nigh' articles I've read have more details. Is it just too much growth in the stock market? Debt? Speculation?

Keep an eye on total consumer debt levels, and more importantly debt-to-income. We've already surpassed the absolute peak value of consumer debt load from 2008 [0], but debt-to-income is still ok for now. When that starts to change we're probably in trouble.

You didn't say it, but the question you asked implies a stable friendship can be destroyed by "hard" negotiations. I disagree with that premise. Why?

Well, I'd argue that if you're seeking "fair value" and are 1) not unreasonable, 2) your friend is not unreasonable, and 3) there is more or less a market price or consensus about the value of an object, there is little no risk of destroying the friendship -- reasonable people can seek fair value and market transactions can support claims about value. If 1, 2, or 3 aren't in place then your friendship is on shaky ground already (someone is unreasonable) or the market for an object is just hard to price (and more information is required for reasonable people to come to a consensus.)

I personally think Go binaries not being supported on macOS 10.9 and earlier is a bigger issue, though the absolute market size is definitely smaller.

bradfitz of the Go team did mention in an earlier thread [1] that this mainly means that they won't be testing on those older OSes.

Thought experiments, not intuition. Thought experiments are kind of theoretical physics: Making an assumption ("c is the universal speed limit"), and thinking about the implications ("addition of velocity cannot be linear"), even though available experimental tools are not powerful enough to demonstrate the implications in a way observable to the though-experimenter.

GPS distances can vary somewhat, but is there any reason to believe they should be biased in favor of GPS-using runners with these shoes instead of averaging out?
Just the initial Uber launch issues. I view municipalities questioning whether Uber should be allowed to operate in their jurisdiction as akin to should these shoes be legal in races.
The obvious (and often unrealistic) answer is to buy a much, much cheaper home and save much more. Other than that, "low debt" isn't well-defined and all debt isn't created equal. If you get a mortgage whose payments give you a lot of wiggle room based on your income and expected future income, most people wouldn't have trouble including that situation among "low debt".
People are going to be smoking weed, doing drugs, having sex, generally making a mess when autonomous taxis roll out. They will be disgusting.

GC is planned and worked on.
Really? I don't agree here.

I've never seen any that weren't being pushed to one of the major podcast apps - and thusly centralized. I mean, the whole term comes from the fact that it was originally downloadable to your iPod through iTunes. None of the podcasts I've ever found could really be considered decentralized - they might have a webpage somewhere, sure, but if they're not in Apple's iTunes/Podcast app, I'm not going to find them. Honestly, I haven't found a decent alternative on Android - I know there are several but none have as robust a catalog. I even use iTunes on Windows for podcast searching.

It's a very centralized market around specific aggregators. Could it weather a transition to a decentralized market structure if Apple were to disown it tomorrow? Maybe, but it would take a lot of energy to get there.
I wonder how this is different than usenet. I can recall our sysadmin complaining about having to manage usenet.
IAAF rules already prohibit that:

> (e) Use of any technical device that incorporates springs, wheels or any other element that provides the user with an advantage over another athlete not using such a device.

Nobody has brought a challenge over this shoe and its debatable use of a "spring"; the IAAF may in fact decide it's a mechanical advantage if/when somebody does
I think you're on to something.

> How many attempts at decentralized social networks have failed? All of them.

When I've tried to build decentralized code, it's 10x harder.

IMO, the real problem with creating a decentralized replacement for a centralized service is multi-fold: You have to really understand the use case that you're trying to replace, and the nuances that drive the general public to that particular service. Then, things like search and quality control become much harder.

On top of that, "decentralized" isn't a feature that most people really care about, so your decentralized replacement has to have tangible improvements above and beyond the original service.

Remember: The web is decentralized, but we rely on a few search engines. Email is decentralized, but most of us get email from a few providers. The web and email had tangible improvements over AOL, Compuserve, ect.
Now law enforcement would just mine that data.
The IAAF != the Olympics

I understand that. But at the same time I know plenty of people who live in SF who would love to move to a more rural area, but they or their spouse can't find work in their field outside of metro areas and SF is close to their rural roots. Some people don't like living in high density areas, but find themselves their out of circumstance.
Ah, that makes a whole lot more sense. I completely misunderstood.
One indicator people are talking about a lot lately is the yield curve flattening and inverting[0][1]. The yield curve tends to invert shortly before recessions, and is pretty close to doing so now. As always, there are a lot of arguments about whether "this time is different" (i.e. even though this signaled coming recessions in the past, conditions are different now so don't worry). Some people at the Fed recently argued that the traditional ways of looking at yield curve inversion (e.g. the 2s10s[2]) have lost their value as a recession indicator, and that we should instead be looking at various near-term spreads[3][4].

The problem is actually that the silicone adhesive they use to attach the IHS is too thick. The act of shaving the adhesive down is what really produces thermal improvements.

Delidding, shaving the adhesive, and replacing with fresh TIM produces nearly as good a result as using LM (without the risks of LM). And using LM without shaving the adhesive only produces a few degrees of improvement.

Meanwhile Lyft continues to be a pretty cool company to do business with.
Additionally podcast revenue is heavily centralized, which warps the kind of programming around the whims of the sponsors - who are often Amazon or a subsidiary company of another Fortune 500.

Within a margin of error I'd imagine virtually all tech centric web content has at some point been sponsored by Audible (Amazon), Squarespace (private), Dollar Shave Club (Unilever), or rarely one of a few VPNs like Tunnelbear or Private Internet Access.
