WHEN takes an implicit PROGN like that (so does UNLESS). IF can't because it needs to delimit the then-form from the else-form somehow.

A friend of mine has a simple static hobby website on his own .net domain. It isn't reachable through CloudFlare DNS. This has been true for over two months. Google DNS can see it, as can my ISP's.

I recently noticed that his self-hosted email is sometimes being flagged as spam because it lacks spf.

Is CloudFlare filtering their DNS results, maybe against a spam blacklist?
How I Forced Myself to Learn ReactJS
That's five times the 15m annual visitors today. (not tourists, visitors... for comparison, about 7m people visit the Eiffel tower each year, so it's more like 10x tourists, but let's assume 5x) On the contrary, I don't think that's feasible at all.

The average tourist stays about a week. That means you've got about 1.4m tourists in the city on average, on a population of 2.2m. In other words, tourists as a group are about 60% the size of the local population.

Then consider that tourism follows a sort of bell curve with months along the x axis. A month in July has about 2x the monthly average, so at peak holiday season you're looking at there being more tourists than locals in the city. That's an insane proposition. Similarly, tourism isn't spread out, but rather concentrated, the city centres become uninhabitable.

Then consider the dynamics on the local economy. If you've got 3 billion (or 75 million) people's worldwide income bidding for some real estate, some food etc, against 2 million locals, prices will go through the roof. Local population will atrophy and the city turns into an open-air theme park.

And that's assuming a single visit. I've been to Paris half a dozen times and it's not even a place I ever deliberately thought about wanting or needing to visit. And I'm sure I'll be there another 10 times in my lifetime.

None of this is feasible if you ask me, outside of the extremely limited scope of stating it's strictly logistically not impossible to accommodate these numbers. The sociopolitical and cultural dynamics will break.

Well the obvious solution it to go wireless! What could possibly go wrong?
Replacing door handles is definitely not a common maintenance requirement for cars. Sounds like your 90k Escalade may just be an overpriced lemon.
This is an interesting concept. I'm somewhat surprised the author didn't draw a connection between the stock market and insider trading, which is more analogous in my mind than card counting in black jack.
Wikipedia is contributing to the slow death of what could have been, and almost was, a web of independent pages maintained by individuals and groups. I have had a recurring experience of skimming a Wikipedia article, only to get the feeling that the text is familiar - then tracking it down to the book or article that it was lifted from, without attribution. If a "vibrant free web" means routine copyright theft committed by a homogenizing, centralized collective established as some kind of anonymous authority, I can do without it.
Orchestration does introduce complexity but it does so with a large base of users, developers and general ecosystem. As developers and systems implementors we are already sitting on top of a huge stack of what could be an impossibly complex system (CPUs, operating systems, networks) But people have worked on their layer and made it robust and everyone benefits.

With that said we have been running K8s for 2 years now in production and have not once had an issue that we could attribute to it. So yes we do have another abstraction (complexity) layer, but to us the complexity does not equate to complicated problems. The benefits gained from the seamless redundancy, discovery, scalability, encapsulation and resource management have not cost us anything. If we had a shaky hard to understand stack that failed often I'd 100% agree.
Well, empirically, syntax is important to a large number of programmers who complain about Lisp's (lack of) syntax. That's not a rigorous empirical study, but it's the best I can do at the moment...
At the moment, this is an A/B test to see if DNS over HTTPS can keep up with regular DNS in term of performance in a real-world setting. It’s an opt-in study. That’s about the extend of it.

You can explicitly enable DNS over HTTPs on recent FF versions if you want to, then you need to pick a provider. There are a few available choices out there. There’s a list on the cURL docs IIRC. Due to the standard being finalized right now, the list is understandably quite short, by there’s no particular reason you ISP shouldn’t offer a suitable DNS server in the future.
That title is a hell of a lot misleading considering this is for an early A/B test and there are no plans to enable this for all users.
Microsoft Azure suffers outage after cooling issue
Or, maybe in a good/optimistic way.

The thought that cars will run their own "personal errands" when the users are not needing the cars is fantastic, and honestly, an obvious thing I had never thought of.

A couple things will be interesting when self driving cars are a full reality:

* Car drives over to the store and a worker loads it up with the items you purchased

* Car is added to an Uber Fleet when youre not needing it and makes you a few dollar per hour.

* Car gets washed/serviced autonomously

* Car monotnously drives around in killing time/parks free-far-away when your in a Financial District and parking isnt available

* Car is shared between multiple families/households.

* Apartment complexes have a dedicated shared car schedulable for use by tenants.
Considering how unpleasant it is to deal with car dealers I am happy if they go away. Buying from a dealer sucks royally (why not sell cars at a fixed price? why do I always have to go through hours of stupid negotiation?) and for service I prefer independent mechanics.

It's worth pointing out that even though the sales were disappointing to the point that BMW might be losing money on the car (I remember reading back in the day an estimate that they needed to sell 20k to be profitable), it was also their way of testing out a process for making inexpensive carbon fiber which is currently making money in other areas. They're the only auto manufacturer who has got that technology right now, and it's highly relevant in the luxury electric space.
Cars need to 2 horns:

A) excuse me/I'm here/the light has changed

B) you are a fucking idiot
Yes, Tesla's profitability is an entirely different discussion, and IMHO one that really isn't all that relevant to how it will compete with MB, VW, etc. over the next few years.
No need to apologize, I like HN precisely because people point out the flaws/confusing parts of my comments/opinions. I agree with everything you say and am happy you said it because this is how unsupervised learning should be viewed. I.e., a better ROI in specific cases. However, I have seen too often the "cake of AI" where the batter is unsupervised, the icing is supervised, and the cherry on top is reinforcement learning. Somehow, this image connotes that unsupervised is at the core of AI and also the most important. For what is a cake consisting of only icing and a cherry?

Where I disagree with you is that the obsession is purely driven from "results-per-dollar-invested", at least in the academic world. That being said, unsupervised learning is a great tool and definitely worthy of research.

To summarize, my comment was completely tangential of this paper (the authors make no such claims). It was more of a stream of consciousness comment that arose because I envisioned someone reading the paper and saying "see!, unsupervised learning leads to real understanding, no humans needed!"
"Zen in the Art of Writing: Essays on Creativity" is a short book that anyone that has any interest in Ray Bradbury's work or in fiction writing should read.

"The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg and "Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion" by Robert Cialdini are both books that showed how and why you often act against your best interest.
If long-term reliability really is good for EVs, it should be cheap for manufacturers to offer long-term warranties, transferable between owners, as a point of differentiation over their competitors. As-is, EVs don't (yet?) have better warranties than ICE cars.
Introducing cstar: The Spotify Cassandra orchestration tool, now open source
One of my CS professors used the "flipped classroom" technique. He would assign the readings and expect them to be done by the time of the scheduled class. Then we would jointly do exercises and collaborate on the topics that were touched upon in the readings. He was ruthless if it was obvious you hadn't done the reading. It was effective.

I think one or two days a week for 2 hours is the perfect amount of lab/in-person collaboration time. Combined with an online forum for questions and video lectures, that would be an ideal course of instruction for me.
Afaik winbox is the only way to reconfigure the device in case of serious IP misconfiguration, or if layer 3 networking does not work for some reason (I just had to debug a switching loop...), as winbox can connect by MAC, rather than IP.
In other words, go back to the 90s internet, what a shit article.
The Jaguar I-pace already is a good Tesla rival. And now Mercedes will follow.

I think Tesla won't go away but I think in a few years they will be just an other electric car brand.

Reminds me of digital film cameras (professional). There were attempts, but RED showed the way how one can make a cheaper and capable digital film camera usable for production. It was great for them, it was great for the market, life was good.

Eventually, ARRI (a 100 year-old film company) turned around and what they've made obliterated almost everything from film space RED made. They still have space, but not in the market segment they have entered at first.
I'm running pfSense on an APU2. Works great. A good option if you don't want the effort of configuring things manually - pfSense has a nice web UI.
Hah, I remember learning about how DNA works in secondary school. You know, there's this "reading frame" that reads "triplets of nucleotides"... just like a CPU reading machine instructions! Might have had something to do with me reading an intro book to x86 ASM at that time.
My dealer changed the brake fluid on my BMW i3 at 15.000km routine maintenance. I have no idea why it would be necessary. Guess that was the only fluid they could change. Got myself an invoice comparable to ICE oil change.

It's a benefit for the children, not the parents. Because everybody gets to be a child exactly once, everybody benefits equally.

That includes you. You can be gay or a Catholic priest, and you benefit.

Ignoring the fact that you had no choice and that benefits may have been different back when you were born, it isn't fair for you to take these benefits as a child and then deny them to the next generation.

Is there any easy way to change/update the DNS lookup server? I do not trust Cloudflare or Google or anyone for that matter.
Amazon undoubtedly benefited from google attracting the bulk of regulatory scrutiny which is in large part because they have the same business model as newspapers and they didn't much appreciate it.
I'd say it's mostly irrational, but I do sort of get the feeling.

It's true that many people who use, say, webpack will also just indiscriminately use heavy packages, complicated SASS/LESS setups, and whatnot.

But that doesn't mean that using webpack means you have to do the other things. It's possible to use webpack and various other 'fancy' stuff without going crazy on the packages, and with sourcemaps you still get to 'view source'.

Personally I find that the benefits of at least some degree of compilation are well worth the potential drawbacks. I am quite conservative in pulling in packages, I regularly use tools that show me visually which things increase the size of my payload, and the result is pretty nice. I can't imagine going back to using multiple script tags to include multiple js files.

EDIT: I'll add that I do understand wanting to avoid all this. It probably does take a bunch of domain-specific knowledge to know what to do and not to do, and I myself have also been trying to avoid much of it by moving to the back-end.
I have nothing to back this up with, but I would _hope_ that a forecasting firm would control for income when coming up with their conclusions. Perhaps these same young people are buying different cars at the same price point.
>And Telsa is always on time with self declared timelines, so you know those cars will be rolling off the line by then.

Can you name one legacy automaker who reach their EV sales/production goals more accurately than Tesla over several years?

Taxing ads seems like a better intervention than what is proposed.
This is true but becoming less true over time.

Though it will be interesting to see if self-driving cars reverse that trend. If a long commute becomes a pleasurable chunk of me-time instead of a grueling slog staring at the brake lights in front of you, maybe people won't place such a premium on living close to work.
Profitability is relevant to how Tesla will do anything, including but not limited to competing with incumbent auto manufacturers, absent an infinite supply of undemanding capital.
Kaleido is hiring for Protocol Engineer
Q1 2019 is still at least six months before MB will have a viable competitor available to purchase. Probably more like 12 months before MB has it available in quantity. Too soon to say what availability will be for the Audi and Porsche competitors. But thanks for the snark.
The only way I see that happening is if Harvard, or a school of similar class/reputation figures out a way to open up their classes to everybody who could get a degree regardless of where they live. Nobody would get a Uof[STATE] degree if for the same price they could get a degree from MIT or Harvard without leaving their home town. Both of these are important - it doesn't matter how much lecture hall space Harvard magically builds this summer (magic - there is not enough physical space on their campus without magic) as going to classes in Massachusetts is not an option for some people. Likewise, cost is sometimes a factor keeping students to a different university.

Online learning has made great strides, but it doesn't seem like it is at that level.
And I don't know what your experience has been, but the majority of the good/excellent lecturers I had in college were actually TAs & low end adjunct or associate professors, not the preeminent tenured research professors.
Wow, I've never heard anyone express that opinion before. Even my wife (a non-technical user) hates the new design.
Is big better? Sometimes there is a new situation that only small adaptive organizations can capitalize on. The military analogy that I think of is how in WWII, a 60,000 strong German force in Panzers and near-obsolete Stuka dive-bombers routed a 3.5mm strong French and British force. The French and British didn't understand how to conduct modern maneuverability warfare, and some of the Germans did [1]. The auto industry might be similar. It's not just a question of which engine do we put in there. The auto industry as a whole is a political/economic engine built around complex machines that need maintenance, salespeople that can upsell because of product complexity, a product where supply-chain management skills are dominant because of product complexity...

When big new opportunities like this arise, it is often the small players that do well. If it wasn't the case, the technology industry would have been dominated by incumbents like IBM, instead of upstarts like Microsoft and Apple.

"You may be used to rebooting a server every so often to ensure that it doesn't crash because of some resource problem"

Is this something that people have to do? I maintain a few Linux servers, and I never need to reboot them. They only go down when the hosting company needs to do some kind of hardware maintenance.
I had the same problem for years and technique that helped me is "to put day to rest". 30 minutes before sleep I write on paper all good and bad stuff that happened today, and everything that worries me right now. Last part is HUGE sometimes. Then, I write down when I will take care of every worry. It can be "tomorrow", "next week", "next month", "this year". It can't be "today".

Additionally, I don't work or talk or message 1 hour before bedtime.

Additionally, I implemented all advice from CBT-I. It took few months to develop a habit, and I'm feeling better every day now.
In my opinion moocs have a long way to go to be comparable to an in person experience. First of all the execution of the pre-recorded lectures is not nearly as good as in person. Writing on the board vs seeing slides and hearing a voice vs seeing someone talk in person is very different. The pacing of the pre-recorded lectures is very mechanical as I'm sure it's tough teaching a camera, whereas in person it is pretty natural. The ability to ask questions in class really helps too. Not meeting with other students/tas/professors in person really has a bad outcome on learning.
I'd say the bias is the other way. Apple is a one trick pony that is only growing through raising prices, in a market where their value added vs competition is becoming very thin. Not convinced their margins are sustainable in the long term.

Amazon on the other hand, between cloud and online retail, not only still has room to grow, and is building a moat around their business through the sheer scale of their infrastructure (logistics + datacenters).

Both are fairly pro-cyclical though (retail & luxury products). If anyone thinks the peak of the cycle is close...
Yikes. I'm not a prepper, but there is something to be said for older vehicles without this unnecessary computer nonsense.
Amazon Rekognition Mistook Congressmen for Criminals? A Closer Look
"Meh."

idk it's a very well-established 92-year-old luxury brand number 1 in their category, now investing billions in building an all-electric crossover. they already have a large established, loyal customer base. $12 billion seems scarily low; meaning they know they won't need much to be able to sell this car.

this is a significant threat to Tesla; and the definitive moment we can say that Tesla has awoken the sleeping giants.

although on the flip this will help the industry as a whole; it's more likely than not that Tesla will sell even more electric cars because of this.
More importantly, the legacy automakers are loosing far more money on the sales of their EV than Tesla. They can't expect to margin of their gas-guzzlers to subsidies their losses on EV for long.
I have an outstanding order for I-Pace since march. I don't think they'll manage to ship. The delivery date gets pushed every month. We don't have Tesla here in my country so maintenance is an issue even if you import. That's why I'm not going for Tesla.

What Mercedes revealed today is ugly as hell.

I think Tesla is still safe.
terahertz imaging, or perhaps multispectral imaging from cell frequencies, 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz wifi?

that stuff goes through walls. and if we can get a THz emitter in the range of affordability, that'd be a neat way to get realtime 3d scans of environments.
If we determined college wasn't necessary for my child to succeed in life. I think it would still be worth the one year tuition fee of having them experience freshmen year. It's just something like you said, that can not be replicated. It builds a skillset I think that is invaluable. Oh, and fun.
