Ask HN: Is cloudflare putting ads on my unconfigured domains?
I have many domains I leave dormant, sometimes I point them at cloudflare or other places in anticipation of using them in the near future.

Here is an example: http://mintyhand.com/
(This example will not work soon because I changed the DNS away from cloudflare)

All the ones I pointed at cloudflare for several months, but forgot to add to my cloudflare account seem to point to this spammy site: https://www.istreamingtv.com/

Any ideas on how this is happening?
I believe AMC is doing a subscription service where you can see up to 3 movies a week for $20/month.
I would love to see the terms for that emergency 5 million in cash. Probably eye-watering interest rates.
Make Java More Functional with Vavr: Try
Hey, if Amazon's going to start providing story time every Friday morning for kids across the country, homelessness services, adult day care, job training, maker spaces, meeting rooms for community groups, and free AC in a time of hotter summers across much of the US, I'd love to see it! Especially if I don't have to pay a cent more than I already do!

And my library system already works with the schools to provide free lunches to any child, anyone under 18, all summer long. So. Have your cheese stick and carrots and eat them too, then read a book :)
Nsmespaces allow XML file formats flexible and extensible in interesting ways: each namespace is tied to an independent schema, allowing for a very natural nesting of validatable XML in arbitrary formats. The namespaces avoid name collision between XML tags from different schemas. The grandparent gave a good example of this kind of nesting.

JSON is incapable of the same kind of nesting because there are no explicit namespace to identify nested data formats and to avoid name collisions.
The entire experience is utterly unusable, not just mobile.
We're running untrusted code from dozens or hundreds of sources, every time we click the mouse button. This isn't a platform designed for maximum security. Yes, JS is the sand.

TBL has written about the Principle of Least Power, and the specific benefits of HTML/CSS. By putting JS on every document on the internet, we've already lost.
We're thinking about adding an abstraction layer over C code that will allow to switch between NIF and port backends. Ports have their limitations so you won't be able to use them e.g. for passing GPU buffers but they will do the job for many other cases.

Anyway even with NIFs we delegate to them only code that cannot be written in Elixir or it really makes no sense to keep it in Elixir e.g. in performance reasons. Even if 30% of the framework will be in C it's way easier to manage 30% of C code than 100% of C code.

Moreover, all the hard stuff, such as parallelism, being able to inspect running state of the VM, ability to spread app over cluster, I/O scalability, being multiplatform etc. comes out of the box with BEAM VM. There are many things that are give the point of using Erlang VM even if part of the code is in C and is potentially dangerous.
Uber, Spotify...plenty of other examples, I'm sure.
I had the same experience years ago when I had to scrap my car. Felt lost without it for a week or two. But then I felt free. It was no longer my responsibility to ensure that a vehicle had fuel, that the tyres were inflated, oil filled. No one could ask me to run an errand that needed a car. I walked more and got more exercise, took the bus more and took a nap on the way home.
Thoughts on subtitles also in the language you're learning? My sense is that this helps with my comprehension, but it may also be a crutch.

Unfortunately, they're no help on Netflix, because they apparently farmed dubbing and subtitles out to two different teams that came up with independent translations.

False positives. My wife underwent multiple tests including a nuclear one to learn that her kidneys aren't exactly the normal shape. Completely harmless.

However, you do have something of a point. The normal screening tests should be able to be ordered by an insurance company or by the patient themselves. If you don't have any other medical issues that need a doctor there's no reason for a visit unless the tests find an abnormality.

No, they were merely the first populations where HIV was detected because their risky behavior made them more likely to contract HIV/AIDS.

But there were many other vectors besides needles and unprotected gay sex (see article linked), in fact, the index patient simply consumed bush meat that they probably should have left alone.

Yes, the first widely recognized case of HIV in the United States involved a highly promiscuous gay flight attendant, and this likely sped the spread of aids in the first period in the United States up considerably.

But once non-gay people became infected it did not take all that long before they were the bulk of the HIV positive population.

Even so, gay men engaging in unprotected sex and drug addicts re-using needles or swapping needles with others are at extremely high risk for HIV and Hepatitis contraction.
If you randomly select an HIV positive person from a Western country and know no other facts about them, it is correct to update your belief towards thinking they are either homosexual or a user of IV drugs. If their gender is revealed male this is especially true.

Obviously you cannot update this strongly if you are selecting from the global population but you would still update in that direction. Making these priors explicit is extremely taboo.
Well, that’s because due to compatibility we still have the old way of doing things alongside the new ways of doing things plus the multiple future-now way of doing things. JavaScript recently has been moving fast both from a community and committee perspective. However, I think is nowhere near as bad as C++ where you can do similar things is different ways with big nuances on end results.
It's an unsubstantiated claim but my impression is that governments are not good at managing companies.

Who gets to decide if it's better to use LibreOffice or OpenOffice? What are the features that are the most important for the office replacement? How is it going to be supported? Is there a line where people can call to complain about the product? Taking all that OSS and packaging it sounds a lot like running a company, especially when multiple "consumers" are involved.

> * is actually a 'clip' rather than a trailer

To me that is almost ideal. Doesn't reveal the entire movie, but gives you an impression of what the movie is like.

James Bond always open with this action scene that isn't really relevant for the plot. Makes for great promotional clip, as it really shows off what the movie is about, but not really any of the movie.
A newspaper interviewed a local librarian. The interviewer pointed out a lot of people use the free wifi from the parking lot after hours, and asked if that was a problem.

How Did the Climate Apocalypse Become Old News?
Unless you mean a specific market, it's older than pretty much any state in existence. Medieval European cities had stock markets.

And that's assuming something like ancient Greece, didn't have a stock market, because that's possible, and if true it's older than every religion in existence today.

And keep in mind that ancient Greece had an interstate cheque clearing system, shared ownership of companies, inheritance laws for dealing with such things, ... you know the sort of thing you'd expect a state to have in order to support a stock market.

Lastly, we have no real idea what financial infrastructure ancient Egypt had, except of course, we do know it allowed for "international" (between partners under different governments) trade with both trading partners ~800km apart, while hiring intermediaries for passing along the goods. We just have no idea how it worked. If it happened to have a stock market, that makes the stock market roughly the age of stonehenge.
Nice hint, we'll definitely take this under consideration!
Alphanym is a full-stack solution, and can help anywhere you need to use people's names.

For storing names, I'd suggest two very long Unicode string fields. At least 1024 characters or greater (some names actually get that long). One field being a full name field, the other being a "betanym" field (the name used anywhere you'd use a persons "first name" normally). Use the full name in billing/idiomatic contexts, and the betanym when addressing customers directly (or if you need a shorter name for UI reasons).

The full-stack UI is there to encourage user feedback, because names are surprisingly ambiguous. Though in more lax contexts like ML/NER, direct API calls without feedback may be adequate.

>Is this 'just' the front end part (in quotes because it's such a hairy issue, I imagine you have lots and lots of 'special case' code)?

There's surprisingly little special case code on the backend, because it primarily relies on ML to generate name interpretations. So most of the special casing is embedded in the ML models. However I am introducing more special case code to refine the ML models with a cleaner dataset.

Using names is ridiculously complex in the general case, seeing as it's a proper subset of NLP. So the API relies on user feedback, which is stored by Alphanym so it can offer more accurate interpretations in subsequent requests. The `name-uncertain` field allows clients to bypass the confirmation if the API has encountered the name before, so at no point does the system assume anyone's name. Yet most of the time people will only have to fill out a single form field.
1G over 2000 km gets you to 6261 m/s, after 639 s. That isn't escape velocity. That isn't even orbital velocity.

But Fortaleza, Brazil, to Dakar, Senegal, is about 3100 km. 1G over that distance gets you to 7795 m/s, after 795 s. That can almost get you to a LEO, with a 40 degree inclination. You'd still need to overcome atmospheric drag.

Fortaleza, Brazil, to Libreville, Gabon, is 5350 km. 1G over that distance gets you to 11240 m/s, after 1045 s. That will get you into an orbit with 4 degree inclination, and after accounting for drag and the angular velocity at the equator, you might even still be at escape velocity after exiting the atmosphere.
Is this a common strategy? Are you kidding? The entirety of Silicon Valley is predicated upon and funded by this business model. Almost every service provided by a SV startup is subsidized.
This is not informative. This is pedantic.
What do you mean? This is literally B2C Strategy 101. If you even try to build a company that is profitable on day 1 or early in its life it gets labeled as a "Lifestyle Business" and VCs won't get near it.
Librarians sometime have to fight to defend their patrons privacy. Some might remember that in the wake of 9/11 there were thoughts that libraries could tip off law enforcement by tracking patrons reading preferences [1]. More recent treatment of the issues - and laws - about the privacy, or lack thereof, of library patrons is discussed in [2].

You are dangerously wrong. No, it is not true that > 50% of the HIV positive people in Western countries are either gay or use drugs intravenously.

It is that sort of stupid thinking that contributes to HIV spreading the way it does, after all: you are not a drug user and you are not gay, and neither is your partner, so what could possibly happen.
NAT prevented the deployment of SCTP, which was envisioned to be a better TCP, just to name one example. And stopped countless protocol ideas from getting off the drawing board.

I'm not a big fan of the Smart Things architecture. It's designed to allow you to create custom device types for devices they don't support, and custom extensions for new behavior, which is great. The problem is, anything you add outside of the stock code will only run on their cloud, and not on the device itself, meaning my motion sensor has to go to the cloud and back before turning on my basement lights. I'm currently looking into alternatives because this is a terrible way of implementing a home hub.

How the use of DNA in criminal investigations could violate your human rights
I think rpcs3 does too. What I need to understand (and probably only takes a small bit of digging on my part) is how they keep from having, say, my extremely high powered computer go way faster than what was expected in the original. Surely there's a scheduler involved, but does it install OS-like hooks? Does it sleep on the threads? Meh, I should just go read.
How many movies a month does their average customer watch? Is there a small group of users costing them the most money?
This is exactly right. There are two ingredients to making money: providing value and externalizing costs. When the value provided by an entity is essentially that it doesn't externalize costs -- that it's a sink for societal costs -- it doesn't make sense to commercialize it. We fund libraries because we want them to do unprofitable things.
You aren't naive, almost all medicines require for profit funding to get to market. In 2017 92% of new approved drugs were owned by companies. Non profits don't have the money or infrastructure
JMAP?

> JMAP is a modern standard for email clients to connect to mail stores. It therefore primarily replaces IMAP + SMTP submission. It does not replace MTA-to-MTA SMTP transmission. JMAP was built by the community, and continues to improve via the IETF standardization process. Upcoming work includes adding contacts and calendars (replacing CardDAV/CalDAV).

I guess the upside is that they will fail fast!
I was traveling from Manhattan into Ft. Hamilton Parkway on the F Train. There were no F Trains running to the stop without having to transfer to two other trains, which would have their own problems and outages.

On the way back, it was even worse:

PICTURE EVIDENCE: https://imgur.com/a/p4JCaPP

EVIDENCE NOTE 1: Monitor claiming F trains would arrive

EVIDENCE NOTE 2: Sign contracting what monitor says

EVIDENCE NOTE 3: Monitor and Sign side-by-side

I used the MTA Subway Time app and it claimed F trains were on their way, these were obviously schedule data and werent changed despite the weekend-long outage. So if you used the MTA Subway Time, you'd wait forever.

I used the Google Pigeon app to report it. Given the official app had fake arrival times, best to use (or in this case, to contribute to) a crowd-sourced data source based on reality.

Twitter is the type of company that only works due to network effect. Like ebay and facebook. So I'd say the age of the company is immaterial, it's how much of the market they've acquired so far. MAU growth is a fair metric.

On a related note, Rust's hygenic macro system is simply amazing.

If you're only familiar with macros from C or C++ take a look. The basic idea is that your macro fictions don't use input text and output text. Instead they accept an Abstract Syntax Tree and return a known AS THE. That way the expansion plays well with the grammer.

It also manages separate variable scopes well. You only get bleed if you want it.

I used to shudder at the thought of macros but I'm convinced. Java or Go could use them reasonably I think.

I'm not a rust programer so my understand is probably a little wrong. I'm not intimately familiar with all of the details. Correct me if I'm mistaken!
> If you're going to run IoT devices in your house I highly recommend isolating them to their own VLAN+Wifi SSD to limit their exposure to the rest of your network.

This goes both ways, too. You don't want someone to pivot from an IOT device to your PC, but you also don't want someone to pivot from your PC into an IOT device like a security camera or door lock.

Microsoft has never been great at marketing.

Steve put so much effort into giving Apple products life, figuratively. For example, he would call the iphone, "iphone", not "an iphone" and was adamant about it. Almost giving existence to it. Also, the way he introduced products was brilliant. He was a master at teasing the public and peaking interest prior to product launch.

Where Microsoft would release products akin to the Zune..in brown, or products with unmemorable names like 'Surface Pro x', with very little marketing. I've always thought MS has interesting products and they have been first to market many times. However, due to lack of marketing, they didn't gain traction.
They may be thinking locally and not globally. I for one know that AIDS is wider spread in some other countries, but I don't have any idea of it's prevelance in my own country.

Ask HN: My Microsoft account has been suspended by Microsoft without details
My entire Microsoft account has been suspended, due to the violation of the Terms, by Microsoft, and without any further details. At the time of incident, I was not doing with the account or anything digital, and rather was cooking/eating dinner, when my computer received a notification about a problem with my Microsoft account.

I am not given any other options than to Contact Support about it, which I did yesterday and got an answer today that tells me nothing more than the very few that I know:

> Microsoft disabled access to the account due to a serious violation of the Microsoft Services Agreement https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/servicesagreement. As stated in the Microsoft Services Agreement, you will no longer be able to access any Services that require Microsoft account. For any subscriptions associated with the account, Microsoft will immediately cease charging the credit card on file for recurring charges. [...] Pursuant to our terms, we cannot reactivate your account, nor provide details as to why it was closed. This represents Microsoft’s final communication regarding this account.

I hope that I am not violating any other terms by sharing these messages. I do it out of frustration to know what exactly I might have done to deserve this, something more detailed than "you have violated our Terms as you eat your dinner", because without knowing which action of mine caused this, I either;

a) Will be unable to understand my mistake and not repeat it,

b) Will fear out of doing nearly everything and refrain from them, such as using a VPN on Amazon's AWS at Ohio, which I am sincerely suspicious of.

Microsoft's own way of justice is against the legal systems in all the modern countries, which always makes sure that the accused knows their faults, as one of their rights, and for the benefit of the accused not getting involved in such acts for a second time, for that they this time will know.

Slack Acquired HipChat, Next Teams? Interesting
Yeah the article mentioned all the North Korean medical paper work showed Otto went into the Hospital already in a coma the day after he was sentenced. Furthermore, the article suggest he was well taken care of the entire time while in his coma (i.e., no bedsores, healthy coma weight, healthy skin etc.). And it said the original brain scans showed equal distribution of brain damage on both signs (i.e., he died from lack of oxygen rather than blows to the head).

I don't think I'd be strong enough to stay in it after being sentenced to a lifetime of jail in a North Korean prison camp.

The "beatings" and "torture" talk all seems to be false propaganda that wasn't backed up by any evidence with several officials noting no signs of beatings or torture, which is disgusting.
Does anyone have a link to the archived original (now deleted) article? It's not possible to truly evaluate a critical piece without reading the piece it's responding to.
Yup, it's pretty trivial to setup the VLAN on Unifi gear to completely isolate the IoT VLAN/SSID to internet only and never see local traffic/devices and vice versa.

There are sites where accessibility isn't much of a concern (esp things like games) or where it would be easily handled (eg. an image aggregator). For the rest, it seems inevitable that another (probably not-quite-compatible) accessibility layer gets built on top (for example, using the Qt accessibility model when compiling Qt into a canvas).

Overall though, I think wasm shouldn't be replacing HTML/JS.
