Thanks for answering questions in this thread. This makes a lot more sense - so LAN-only names would still resolve then.

This still seems like it could cause problems in certain circumstances, e.g.:

- The local DNS server deliberately does not resolve certain hosts (e.g. because it's running PiHole)

- An internal host also happens to resolve on the external DNS, though with a different IP. E.g., a company could have its public DNS set to a catchall entry *.company.com, but at the same time could have dev.company.com set to a special IP inside the LAN. This setup seems also required if you want to use Let's Encrypt internally.

Those scenarios seem difficult to manage, because they are potentially indistinguishable from attacks. Do you have any solution for that?
The point of the article seems to be that the pool of stocks available to funds, etc., is shrinking.[1] You have a good point, but it isn't addressing this specific issue.

While I agree with setting up an email server not being a trivial endeavor, I managed to learn a lot and complete setup within a few hours by following one of the many available tutorials ([1], [2]) and the ongoing maintenance has been minimal.

I took the plunge about 4 years ago after being uncomfortable with the possibility of losing my main Gmail account. Ultimately, I decided that if I didn't own my email address, I was at the mercy of Gmail if anything went wrong. I came to the conclusion that losing my main email account would be more painful and time consuming than running my own server. At the time, I considered an alternative of owning my own domain and doing mail forwarding to Gmail or using a smaller email hosting provider, but decided there was value in learning more about how email worked.

I'm not saying that lack of save games is a good idea, rather that people complaining because it takes them 10 minutes to solve a puzzle in a game are maybe whining about it to much.

For the ESR release, you can use Group policy (Windows only) or policies.json (all systems) to make it accept the system cert store.

For all releases, you can make the process of joining the domain to also include installing the cert into Firefox's store. For example, the Redhat's ipa-client-install does install the certificate into the Firefox store by default.
For renting cars there is a big advantage. You may notice that different drop offs have different fees associated. This is because people tend to collect around certain areas. This creates the need for company drivers to redistribute the cars. Being able to do that dynamically and automatically has a huge advantage. It also allows you to make the rental locations more sparse and efficiently packed.

So yes, it does lessen the cost of renting cars. But it doesn't make it anywhere near too cheap to meter.
I like /r/mechanicalkeyboards and /r/fountainpens; I'll have a few weeks where I'm really active (at least consuming) there and then I'll kind of leave them for a while. Recently I've been getting involved in indoor vermicomposting and browsing some forums on that. I also tend to keep an eye on communities related to snails, since I'm working on an amateur snail simulation in my spare time (and just like snails).
> Whereas, especially for transportation options that involve multiple people in a vehicle, the cost of a driver isn't really all that much relative to the overall cost of operating a vehicle.

Do you have a source on this? It’s my understanding that most mass transit systems in the US spend a huge amount on operator compensation. BART, the one I’m most familiar with, spends $500m of its $691m operating budget on salary and benefits [0] despite the fact that BART trains already drive themselves!

I was interested in whatever his point was, and I can see why including some video from the show is helpful since thats whats being referenced. However, it just takes too long for video to convey the info. Just not the right format to keep my attention.

SOX proves there are adults running the business. There are some bad parts of SOX, but most of it is good. Also, companies can define their own policies and standards under SOX, unlike say PCI where you must adhere to an industry standard. This means companies that are run well can make decisions about doing a user access review yearly instead of quarterly.
How does the debt system steal from the labor class?

> small companies aren’t going public because of the much larger regulatory burden or cost

Do you mean, larger than staying private? Or larger than it used to be? Regarding either, I would guess that regulatory costs were much higher in the 1970s, before modern 'deregulation' and when the concept of government involvement in the economy was different, yet small companies' participation in the market was much higher then, according to the article:

* In 1975, 61.5 percent of publicly traded firms had assets worth less than $100 million, using inflation-adjusted 2015 dollars. But by 2015, that proportion had dropped to only 22.6 percent.

Also, are you aware of any evidence for it? (For other readers, the parent's link addresses another issue, the change in cost of small trades.) Unfortunately, regulation and its costs are such a politicized issue that I have a hard time finding reliable data (or any data).

EDIT: For a counterpoint, consider that regulation makes markets more attractive. For example, nobody would want to participate in a completely unregulated market, where theft and fraud were commonplace. Regulation, when implemented properly, makes markets safe for participants, protecting their investments.
Theranos wouldn’t have been public because it would have had to undergo much more scrutiny and if it did get to the public markets (not the pink sheets) smart investors would have shorted the hell out of it. The fundamental problem was that blood is too heterogeneous at the sample size they were drawing from for many (most?) of their tests. There’s lots of scientific literature out there. 60 minutes figuring out the right question to ask and then another 60 minutes googling would have been sufficient due diligence to pass on this investment. For the most part Theranos was not made up of sophisticated investors and any professional money that came in late should be fired.

Hey HN!

As SQLite doesn't provide 64-bit versions of its precompiled binaries[0], I have decided to provide them myself since building those tools (`sqldiff`, `sqlite3`, and `sqlite3_analyzer`) can be quite time-consuming, and wildly inconvenient when you are trying to access your database for a quick query...

I've spent a day trying to figure out how to make Travis deploy to GitHub releases, and compile on OS X as well before giving up, for a task that wouldn't take more than 10 minutes so XKCD 1319[1] is strong on this one; so hopefully it will be useful for others too at least! =)

Learn by Doing Curated Newsletter: Serverless is no longer just a buzzword
> I can not tell if it is 30 or 31 °C outside.

Most thermostats I've seen allow changes of 0.5 degrees C. So it seems that the thermostat manufacturers feel that the majority of users can tell a difference.

And sometimes 1 degree C delta is too much for me in a room (e.g. 21.0 is comfortable, 22.0 is not, 21.5 is just right). So it's obviously a personal preference, but at least for me, I can tell a difference between 0.5 degrees C.

And thus for my use case, whole integers in F is a slightly superior user experience since it avoid fractions.

That's only true if after selling you kept the cash under the mattress. If you sold the SPY S&P 500 ETF in January 1996 and invested the proceeds in the Treasury-heavy Vanguard Total Bond Market Index fund (there were no bond ETFs back then) you would have seen better entry points waiting for you in the future:

10% discount in Q4 2002 and Q1 2003.

30% discount in Q1 2009
And what do you base this "challenging "assertion on? Its not gambling to take advantage of special situations eg the overhang on WTAN 18 moths ago where its discount was artificially high.

If you had said binary bets are gambling but I would agree with you.

Maybe this what the 1% want you to think ?

Agreed. Kinda. The question is: which is causing which? Or is there something else for which these are symptoms?
Interestingly, the method in which you determine your "random point" can greatly affect the end result, so swapping out the methods (e.g. "generate three coordinates and discard" method for the "generate a direction and a length" method) may produce wildly different results.

An interesting illustration of this is Bertrand's Paradox, which asks the question: "if you draw a random chord inside a circle, what is the probability that its length is greater than sqrt(3)?". The correct answer is 1/2. The correct answer is also 1/3. Oh, and the correct answer is also 1/4. It depends on three equally valid (and uniformly distributed) ways of defining your random chord.

In general I’ve found protocol extensions to be an incredibly powerful concept. There’s a couple of WWDC talks about ‘protocol oriented programming’ that highlight some great, practical use cases.

I’ve run into the author’s problem a few times, and I’d like to think that this is just a bug or behaviour detail that a future Swift version could correct. Swift hasn’t quite matured fully yet, and this is a great example of that (these examples are becoming fewer every year though).

More to the point, people have accepted Amazon as a growth company. So long as Wall St likes the story, the price goes up, everyone is happy.

On the other hand, AMZN is trading at ~230x earnings and ~4.6x revenue. For comparison WMT (Walmart) is trading at ~30x and ~0.5x respectively. Amazon is growing much faster, but there are no guarantees that it will do so forever. To reach ratios like Walmart's it will need to take in ~$3.8Tn of revenue.

If only a fraction of investments are available to the public, it creates economic inefficiencies: Resources are not flowing to the best investments.

Also, it creates a two-tiered system with self-perpetuating A and B economic classes, rather than a merit-based free market that allows social and economic mobility and opportunity. Generally, that is seen as antithetical to democracy and to American values in particular (not to exclude other countries).
Idea for startup: use data to make a better routing layer for customer service. Right now, everyone hits the same (more or less) frontline people. But some customers respond better to one or more of: empathy, hand-holding, highly technical, no-nonsense, etc. Based on feedback from customer surveys that currently go into a black hole, you can route to a better person next time. And once a profile is built of a customer, corporations could subscribe to this data in order to make customer service better for everyone, and reduce costs for them.

Many companies care a lot about something like net promoter score, but can't seem to improve it. Wouldn't it be cool for them to have Heroku-like knobs? "Given budget X, route for best customer experience."

A better solution would be to require companies to prioritize employee compensation above shareholder profits. There has been a trend since the '80s for executives and investors to team up and line one another's pockets at the expense of the rank-and-file workers, and it's the biggest and most direct contributing factor to the decline of the middle class.

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience, it does help to understand and empathize with the breadth of human experiences.

I don't think the point of the building in this article was to force warmer temperatures on everybody. It sounded more like an experiment in increasing airflow. I think it would be most beneficial if they could work out a way to keep temperatures lower without sacrificing the air flow.

As an engineer, I firmly believe that innovation is driven through the process of starting with an experiment, discovering weak points, and steadily iterating to mitigate the weaknesses without sacrificing the advantages. But this process must be firmly grounded in a deep understanding of experiences of end-users who interact with the product, and the core objective should be improving quality of life, accounting for the variability in what that means to different people.

Hmm, looks as if the September date was indeed an error - even the article added a correction. (Also a Mozilla representative seemed to post they plan to keep local DNS as fallback)

So I do hope you're right and they will take their time until the ecosystem stabilizes and they found less damaging strategies.

I still think there are general problems with DoH and the assumption that all local networks are hostile. But maybe, there will be more time to discuss those assumptions.

I don't see that they will necessarily add a config GUI though. Most people will likely ignore the feature and the techies already have about: config, so there might be little pressure to add a more accessible UI.
Gcc collapses acos(cos(x)) to x on -O2? Surely not since this isn't even accurate for x outside of -pi to pi. That's ignoring floating point errors that make those two different which I thought was a different optimization flag, though I'm not sure about that.

This is nonsense. Comcast used to be AT&T Broadband in my region and they are the sole provider of broadband access in my entire region of the Midwest outside of major metros. They have something like 1/3 of all broadband customers, that’s an upstart?

Interesting. Swift has been my primary language for a couple of years now, but I’ve never run into this, mainly because I use subclasses far, far less often than I did under Objective-C. If this bug had existed in Obj-C back when It was still my primary language it likely would have bitten me.

"In GUI mode, though inefficient, you know exactly where to access help"

I wonder how useful "help" is to the average user. I've personally never been aided in a strange GUI by visiting the help.
