Ask HN: Can a registrar withdraw or withold a domain because it is premium?
This is an unusual chain of events.

I get a special offer to register one of those new top level domains for free.

I do so. I find something that it said was available, and register it. I am rather surprised because I would have thought someone would have already taken it.

I get an email receipt (for $0.00)

I get an email confirming the domain purchase was successful.

I try to connect the domain to a server, hosting provider's web site was not behaving so I contact support.

Support says that domain was not part of the special offer and is a premium domain.

Domain is switched to not active.

Have registrars the right to become cyber-squatters themselves now? Are they allowed to put individual prices onto each domain name?
This doesn't really change anything other than just being more damning evidence against you slightly easier to obtain.

If you carry a phone of any kind, it is already betraying your movements. All it takes to paint you like a game of Snake is a subpoena to Google (for GPS history) or your carrier (tower associations), assuming they don't pull your location history out of the device itself.

Hell, even cars are starting to get in on it with self-reporting telemetry even if you manage to avoid all the commodity ALPR scans.

Your privacy is already dead. You're objecting to death itself at this point.
May I add my support to your opinion? Or, to put it more bluntly, the "why" is overrated. The "modern" math education (in the US) comes courtesy of people like Jean Piaget or Seymour Papert. These guys were true geniuses, but made a grave error. They generalized from their own experience ("to understand is to invent") to everyone else. Unfortunately, for 99% of the people, the style of learning by discovery is extremely inefficient. So we ended up with a system that sounds great in theory, but in practice you have kids in the fourth of fifth grade still going over addition and multiplication.

then wouldn't we would be able to correlate rates of lower toxic behavior, like harassment and conflict, with the practice of 'cultural fit'? like doing some kind of empirical study?

ironically i would wager that the people who can pass a 'cultural fit' test with the highest score might actually be Sociopaths, since they are the world experts at being charming to complete and utter strangers.

Why do you think Wozniak would care? Man is a multi-milionaire on account of his Apple shares, and has better things to do these days than bum single bytes out of 6502 code ;)

My post is made for the benefit of current and future 6502 programmers.

I guess you must not be a 6502 programmer, because if you were, your response would be, like, "dude, fuck, that's awesome, holy shit, let me take some notes". Because that was what my response was the first time I saw this code. And that's why I'm passing it on.

Any reason why Azure timing has reduced with higher data size ?
If they are going to replace words that some people consider loaded, they could simply replace “slave” with “servant”. Then the previous technical meaning of “master”/“slave” (e.g. Parrallel ATA interface) is preserved, but the meaning of “master” as the original copy (e.g. Git, databases) or as the head personnel (e.g. webmaster) does not have to be changed.
That's a good point. I'm not one for details and I just assumed it above the horizontal because it makes it a touch more interesting.

Anyone who's sat in Bay Area traffic wants changes -- don't let that cloud the facts: car based transportation is not a major source of emissions in the Bay Area, and overall emissions have been dropping since at least 1990 [1].

Particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5, aka the stuff that causes disease) is less than 20% due to on-road vehicles. The big sources are "combustion" (burning organic matter) and fires. [1]

this is just childish, you can only establish the existence of 'absolute proof' in a court of law. If you really want some jobsworth to sit in their office and dispense justice, then you don't want justice.

And for kicks, here's a quote from that Youtube video you link:

"So that was a surprise. (...) I've done zero profiling on this. I've made absolutely zero attempt to make this thing faster. None. In fact, you can pretty reasonably argue that I've gone out of my way to make it slower. And we are 40% faster than my C."

Which doesn't mean that rust is faster than C, but that changing your approach can, in fact, lead to results you wouldn't have expected.
I'm not sure all the contempt in this thread is remotely productive.

I think the easiest way to persuade people is to engage them in a friendly way, listen, explain your feelings.

But maybe people on this thread thread don't care about making changes, but just venting some inarticulate frustration into the void of the internet.

More seriously, I guess since we’ve already given up our privacy when travelling internationally (since the Great War, anyway, when passports were generally instituted), this is probably not that much of a change. And I guess it’s marginally more convenient. Just … seems like a solution in search of a problem, really.
It can be "free" if budgets are rearranged out of the insanity they are in now.

Imagine slashing DoD funding in half. I don't think taxes would have to go up a penny to provide free education then.

Other than that, yes, I agree with you in using investment terminology.

Or the people that don't want to, don't forget

I didn't say "mandatory higher education," I said "free." It already is free for twelve years so it seems silly to think slapping on another 2-6 would be some massive burden against the expected returns.

For those that don't want it or can't test into it because they literally are too stupid (this is after fixing inequal access to early education), there's no associated cost. They just to to work, same as it was before.
Ya, if I had to guess at an effect I think that'd be it too. It ought to dampen hysteria, by keeping retail investors out of the market for the most part.
If Australia was really concerned about encrypted communication as a threat to national security then they would outlaw end-to-end encrypted messaging. Terrorists and child abusers and wife beaters walking free because law enforcement can't read the private messages of "these people" due to this thing called encryption.

They should specify that any form of private communication cannot be encrypted end-to-end where the decryption keys are only accessible to the communication participants. Internet browsing, online shopping and banking transactions are allowed, as is communication which is encrypted by a service provider, and as such can be decrypted by said service provider upon request from law enforcement.

Anyone caught using end-to-end encrypted communications can AND WILL be fined.

The effect of this would be the same as what they're currently proposing, but they're currently hiding it behind words that most of the population don't comprehend, and therefore doesn't make the kind of mainstream headlines that it should.

By taking this weasel-worded approach the Australian Government is being intentionally ambiguous about their intentions and the effect of this legislation.
Pricing and reliability are my two main problems. I have access to 1Tb OneDrive but after it silently deleted 40Gb of irretrievable data I will never trust it again. Pricing wise Dropbox GDrive and others seem too expensive. Backblaze is the current frontrunner for sure, particularly with its deduplication facilities.
YMMV though. I tried it last month on a local network and the lag was quite unbearable with sessions often going out of sync.
It's all about "clicking" with the investor. I always say it's not what you say, it's how you say and also who you are.

The market is perfectly content to sit back and add workarounds on top of workarounds until everything starts to collapse. It's culminated in DNS Flag Day: https://dnsflagday.net/. I suppose it's fine to forklift upgrade if it's to resolve the tech debt the market tacitly accepted, but not so if it means securing a small but meaningful part of internet infrastructure.

I don't want or need DNSSEC as currently designed to be accepted everywhere, but saying that a workaround is preferable because the real fix is costly ignores the long-term ramifications.

> if you are smart enough to master Rust, and you do need tight control of memory that GC overhead is not worth it, you are probably smart enough to write safer C++.

As both a C/C++ developer with more than a decade of experience, and a Rust developer, I'll posit that if you are smart enough to master Rust, you still aren't smart enough to write safer C++. Not even close. Rust might enlighten you in some ways, and avoid you doing some mistakes in C++, but without e.g. a borrow-checker, there are still too many ways to shoot yourself in the foot in C++, that Rust would find at compile time, while the equivalent C++ code would fail at runtime. If you're lucky and happen to hit the error conditions when you test it.
I have -- what I believe are -- similar misgivings when there are supermoon stories doing the rounds in the press or social media.

Agree that people like him should get more recognition, maybe even the Nobel Peace prize.

In reading the article, though, I don't think it took him 20 years to make it. Instead, I think it means he made a promise to do something about children dying from pneumonia and it took him 20 years to figure out how to do it. I base this on the following paragraphs in the article:

In 1996, Dr Mohammod Jobayer Chisti was working in the paediatric department of the Sylhet Medical College Hospital in Bangladesh. That evening he made a promise that he would do something to stop children dying from pneumonia.

When asked how he feels to be fulfilling that promise he made 20 years ago he replies: "I have no language to express this."
Maybe.

I also agree that current budget allocations are insane. Maybe if we stopped fighting so many wars we could make more progress here at home.

Another assumption that you make is that the problem with the US education system is a lack of funding. I don't think this is the case.
They also scan boarding passes at the gate to verify that all checked bags have a corresponding passenger on the aircraft.
Or the contempt comes from the state of feelings, anecdotes, and persuasion trumping science, data, and logic. Hard to argue rationally against “but I feel like pigs might fly” by starting with your own feelings on the topic.
This smells suspiciously like a flimsy study designed to reach a predetermined conclusion so as to boost the pool of applicants for systematic salary suppression. Similar to how the STEM "shortage" was manufactured despite no attendant rise in salaries from the supposedly limited supply of workers.

Signal likes to throw around that they are free software but really that is more marketing than fact.

The signal -client- is open source, but the server is closed. Yes partial server code is open, but running your own server is not allowed. The signal signed clients will only talk to the closed server and Moxie has made it clear he does not want forked clients or clients not built by his team connecting to his network. Open source f-droid builds are not permitted, and if you want updates you must use the play store builds. Those with open source phones must turn on unverified sources and risk man in the disk attacks to install the apk from the signal website.

Security you can't fully verify, is just called marketing.

Here’s the thing though, every employer in the Bay Area pays taxes, but only Uber and Lyft also disproportionately congest streets and add air and noise pollution. It’s not proportional whatsoever to the residents of these neighborhoods.

There are solutions which would better fit the problem: congestion pricing for peak hours or non-residents, pollution surcharge for non-EV ride share vehicles, surcharge for non-pool/line rides.

The status quo is to publicize the congestion and pollution and risk and privatize the profits.
There's a belief that high powered wireless signals may cause DNA damage, especially to sperm.

That's strange because traffic woes existed before Uber and Lyft. Did they cause congestion retroactively?

Just one problem?

I know a bunch of companies are packaging chips, displays etc in the US but are surely not even remotely at the scale Apple needs.

In reality the industry would probably need to re-tool multiple manufacturing capabilities involving multiple disciplines to the massive scale required. This is not impossible but it’s going to cost and it will take entire tech ecosystems and supply chains to be built. At least five years to a decade to be actually considered “operational”. Maybe this is the end goal: investment needs to occur and pressuring Apple is the way to start.

Maybe Trump is trying to get Apple incentivised to repatriate some of the ocean of cash they have.
This is interesting, but what is something like this expected to be used for?

Is it for novelty value or is there a practical reason one would want to deepfake themself?

They're not confidence intervals, but weather.gov's forecasts include a link to the NWS office's forecast discussion (updated every few hours). This can give you a bit of insight into forecaster uncertainty and the variation between models.

To excerpt the most recent (8:14PM EDT) NYC office's discussion:

"As a result, expect most precipitation to be focused mainly during the evening hours. Hi-resolution models have been suggesting that the overnight hours could be mainly if not entirely dry. This is due to 850 hPa warm front lifting to the north by around 6z and a dry slot moving in from the SW (DC/PHI area). For now, have just lowered pops to chance. If trends in the high resolution models hold, pops will need to be lowered further if not removed for the overnight hours with future updates."

I used to work at a Robotics startup in Brazil.
Talent was top notch - I’d say as good as any big Bay Area tech company (SWE, Mech & Financial).
Founder was the main investor - he didn’t understand SW, treated SWEs & Mech Engs as if he was making them a favor for giving them a job and paid below market.
At one point the guy fired the CFO for authorizing buying a cheap Split AC for our little 10ppl office in the middle of the summer while everyone was sweating their life’s away (he was off somewhere on vacation on his boat).

But the main takeaway for me was: corruption. The startup was doing something legitimately exciting and innovative but still the founder thought it was wise to sneak in a contract with his buddy at the state government’s office (super shady bidding process) to have them as a first client.
Eventually the law caught up with it and the whole thing became a legal mess.

It also doesn't factor in the completion % as risk. The harder the degree, the more chance you have of being saddled with debt and no prospects.

No, that’s hand waving. You’re asserting that spying = interference because reasons. Politicians always know they’re being watched by friend, foe, and constituent alike, because they’re politicians.

If you really believe that spying is interference, then you also believe that there’s never been a fair election ever.
