I'm just an user, I'm not in the business of buying/selling domains.

Besides their shitty website, I never had a problem with GoDaddy.

I've been a customer of theirs for about 15 years.

Just sharing my experience.

> they could have negotiated a footpath

If they really wanted a footpath, and pre-existing law didn't already mandate maintaining access, they would take it (either in fee simple, or just an easement) by eminent domain.
> The first is piracy probably didn’t lead to the failure of the Dreamcast.

Indeed, if that'd be really the case then Sony's PSX should have failed 10 times over because it was the original "piracy console" due to the use of CD-Rom vs cartridges.

Sure, the burners and blanks used to be expensive in the beginning, but it didn't take long for prices to fall.

Also didn't help that the PSX was region locked, so many people chipped their consoles to be able to play releases from other regions, which then also allowed the console to play pirated/burned PSX games.

During my childhood, growing up in the 90s in Germany, I don't remember anybody owning a PSX that was not chipped, some would literally make a business out of selling burned PSX games on the schoolyard, bringing binders full of games and printed lists with all of their "offerings".
I wonder if you can read any extra state out of the T2 as a result, e.g. more information on wear leveling, temporary read failures and so on, more than the standard SMART counters?
I really like Google Domains. $12 a year gets you a domain, private registration, transfer lock, DNSSEC, IPv6 support, and Dynamic DNS (using DDclient). Before Google Domains I used GoDaddy - so perhaps I'm just comparing it against a terrible service to start with, but that is a lot of features for a flat low rate.

On the other hand, I don't like Google and I'm in the process of exiting their ecosystem completely. DuckDuckGo, just got my first iPhone ever, switching to ProtonMail, using Firefox, Pi-Hole to block google analytics. Router configured to drop all traffic to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. Weirdly, Google Domains will probably be one of the longest holdouts of all the Google products
I had my suspicions about searching for domains on godaddy. Do a search for a domain, come back in a few days and it was purchased by someone else.

Modern SSDs can have very large DRAM write buffers (8-256MB), this is pretty plausible if it was failing to flush it.
I looked into plaid+stripe solution for our ACH payments need and after playing around with it a little I just didn't feel like I can put that in front of my clients and tell them 'Yeah put in your bank login and password on our website to make the payment, we promise it's secure'. Their solution didnt sell with me and I went for Stripe ACH where they make microdeposit and customer has to verify the amounts. Even PaySimple's eCheck solution sounds more reasonable to put in front of clients than to demand their bank login and password. IMHO
Fakespot and others like it have crappy algorithms. I know sellers that have never done anything shady for reviews that get graded poorly by fakespot. And their Chinese competitors that blatantly fake reviews get A.
We (qri) have built a front-end webapp (free & open source) for publishing, sharing, and versioning datasets on IPFS. When you download qri, you're working on IPFS (distributed web).

Still very geeky, but we're trying to make sure it's very simple to use for data scientists/analysts/researchers alike.

>"It would be easy to design a variable length encoding scheme that was self-synchronizing and played nicely with decoding multiple instructions per clock."

How might a self-synchronizing encoding scheme work? How could a decoder be divorced from the clock pulse? I am intrigued by this idea.
This is called domain kiting or "tasting"[0]. The founder of Go Daddy decried the idea a decade ago[1]. Of course this was after running their own kiting operation for some time using ad placement via Google Ad Sense for Domains (no content necessary, just a domain name). I know, because I worked on the app that serviced 20M domains and fed metrics back to the team that decided to buy or release. The project was shuttered after some employee abuse (buying the domains for themselves) and shortly before Bob declared the moral high ground.

I'd be super interested in the follow up, and not just for monetary reasons[1]

I mean, my impression is that there has been a lot of news trying to stir up US vs China animosity; I mean, I'm sure that a lot of industrial/state espionage happens, but the renewed focus just seems a little suspicious to me at a time when our government is trying to distract us from possible Russian interference in our election.

Makes me wonder about huawei - is this all just our government trying to take the heat off their Russian allies? I mean, it wouldn't even need to be made up in that case, I'm sure that if you looked, you could find plenty of sketchy things Chinese companies are already doing.

But that was the weird thing about this supermicro thing... it was really pretty easily disprovable. Like... there are a lot of really smart people in the field looking for this sort of thing. If it was a lie to begin with, why pick one that can be shown to be false, when there are so many other possibilities that can't be proved either way?

Man, I hope I live long enough to read good history books about this era.

[1]I bought a bunch of SMCI when the story first broke; Aside from buying and using a lot of SuperMicro I simply didn't believe that they would be the only company effected if the story was true. When the story broke, I though that someone had probably found something, and that as people tore apart hardware looking, we would find something from other manufacturers, too. As nobody has found anything yet? I now think the story is just false. I know smart people are looking. (software/firmware compromises may not be as durable, but they are a lot easier to implement.) Either way, my SMCI holdings are up a few grand at a time when the rest of my portfolio is looking pretty sad.
Wow -- that seems really odd; a GPS beacon seems like it is practically the definition of probable cause. I can understand police being reluctant to pursue crimes where the criminal is unlikely to be apprehended, but in this case it seems a straightforward way of boosting arrest numbers since the crime is so clear-cut.

Regulation and crimes are different things. Regulations are aimed at preemptively preventing potential crimes, usually fraud, by making parties affirmatively establish that they do not have criminal intent before committing an act.

Crimes are criminal acts -- we added an equal protection clause to the constitution to prevent exactly this scenario, where the police can discriminate on the application of the law. If the police are choosing to deny the protection of the law to a company like Bird then they are liable for a civil suit, in addition to violating their duties as law enforcement officers.

Their domain privacy service just blackholes any emails sent to it instead of forwarding them on.

Almost cost me a domain due to their scammy set-up - since the domain was listed as "Domains By Proxy" or something similar, GoDaddy argued that it wasn't actually mine (despite selling it to me, and selling the privacy service to me) and the request to transfer couldn't go ahead.

Thankfully Nominet were incredibly helpful (and seemingly well aware of GoDaddy's M.O.) and they managed to sort it for me.

Sadly, I've just checked their site and they list GoDaddy as a registrar to use them looking for a domain, which is a shame.
Could you explain what you mean by multidimensional.

My first thought was that all spreadsheets are at least 2D, some like SC are explicitly 3D, but the write up seems to suggest something different?

"Multidimensional data model: worksheets are organized by business entities (SKUs, departments, years, months, scenarios and so on). The data is stored in a more structured way which has many benefits like simple and robust computations across multiple worksheets
"
While I have no doubt that you of all people could do DNS right, it seems a bit like scope creep IMO. I'm very excited about sr.ht, but also worried that it might be too much to execute all at once.

That being said, DNS records in Git sounds kinda neat. You avoid all the special authentication nonsense of "DynamicDNS" or proprietary APIs by using SSH keys, and you have versioning for rolling back configurations. Also you don't need a special UI that essentially builds zone files as you'd just have your users make their own. You might need some validation of the files before you actually put them into BIND though.
I dont like Facebook. That being said, I've had great experiences with Facebook marketplace. The creepiness works in the buyers favor because you get a name and face of the person selling.

Good luck getting the police to do anything about your stolen bike.

If you're lucky it will end up in the database of stolen bikes and if they come across a stolen bike by accident they might check that database. I haven't personally heard of any bikes retrieved by the police so far.

Yeah I suppose it's true that a system which has only "blocked more than 11.14 million flights and 4.25 million high-speed train trips by the end of April [2018]" http://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1103262.shtml is not "real".

Chinese high-speed rail carries more than a billion passengers per year ( http://en.people.cn/n3/2017/1110/c90000-9291147.html ).

If vastly fewer than 1% of rides are affected by the so-called social credit blacklist, is it a real thing?

Personally I have been disappointed that the commentators are making the "Black Mirror" comparisons without carrying the reference further back to Cory Doctorow's "Whuffie".

Tbh, Stanley Kubrick is vastly overrated. Yes every one of his movies has great cinemotography, and is technically excellent, but many of his movies are not excellent as movies. Eyes Wide Shut, full metal jacket, and the shining are not 10/10 movies, and David Fincher, Harmony Korine, Charlie Kaifman have all created movies better than all those movies listed. The problem with Stanley Lubrick is because he has a style that is very attractive to viewers, and his movies are very accesible also, he gets massively overrated by a lot of casual film watchers, which is fine so are a lot of directors, but his hype has leaked even to actual film critics with years of experience. It also doesn't help that movies like Room 237 come out that jack of Stanley Kubrick and draw meaning out of things that had no meaning. Sad that people glorify Kubrick but don't even know who Charlir Kaufman or Harmony Korine are, even though both directors have created movies that are just as good as a lot of Kubricks films.
What is worrying me more is that we are all stuck on idea of being locked-in to any vendor. Why can't we focus on innovation instead? Take Instagram for e.g. they started with AWS right? Then moved on the real hardware within few weeks (if I remember correctly) after acquisition. I understand, cost of the unseen problems are high, but it might be good idea to remember it also much depends on delivering speed.

I am not yet convinced that giving away your bank username and password to plaid/mint/other scrapers does not exempt the bank from the liability limits established in Reg E.

The user effectively gives away control of their deposit accounts. If it is subsequently misused (unlike an access device like a debit card), the user's disclosure of the password might give the bank an affirmative defense. Push to shove, in a large breach with bulk cashouts via wire a depository institution might not honor the claims.

It seems obvious that revocable access w/ tokens is a solution, but that gives up the game on the transaction data (and likely drives some of banks' reluctance to offer that functionality).

I'd love to have my mind changed about this, if someone can point me in the right direction.

Because they are the first generation fully educated by a school system which teaches that victim mentality is the greatest ideal.

Yet we still don't know whether this is the case, so it's not even clear whether "consequences" are in order and whether incompetence is at play.

You can't prosecute someone because "if they had stolen money from me, that would be theft."
The municipalities have a problem with people committing crimes, namely theft. They can blame Bird for creating an attractive nuisance, but it seems like the security measures they have in place are more than sufficient to give law enforcement the information it needs so that they need to do minimal investigatory work in order to prosecute these crimes.

Denying Bird the equal protections of the law is a violation of their constitutional duty to, well, not deny anyone equal protection of the law.
It was almost certainly a matter of policy (pre-STS-51L, there was still quite a strong push towards the shuttle taking over all US launches) rather than strict necessity. Some flights (STS-41D, for instance) launched civilian comsats which surely can't have had any terribly exotic requirements.
It seems disingenuous for the banks to not provide an API spec, and then invest in and present Plaid as an alternative. This is not a technology problem, this is about entrenched players making a buck wherever possible, without doing the logical thing.

I'm glad Europe has defined an API for it's banks to avoid this from happening there
Well, this assumes you advertise your wages, and are willing to let them walk when an employee receives a counteroffer, or when a candidate mentions an offer from a competitor.
Right there with you. I moved all my purchases to ebay. At least there you know who you are buying from, and many manufactures have official stores. There are still bootlegs, but you have some say in how much risk you are willing to take. Eg, don't buy classic nintendo games from overseas. If amazon let you research a seller and see if they are a knockoff mill that would be a huge step forward, but they would ALSO have to isolate inventory again for it to be reliable.

I downvote people that whine about downvoting. I downvote people who accuse everyone who disagrees with them of being shills.

Aside from this I consider "Bloomberg is over" a gross exaggeration".

Furthermore one mistake if mistake it is doesn't justify banning that publication from hacker news.

Furthermore who are you to be talking about banning anyone from this site in any case.

You get lots of down votes because there are so many reasons to downvote this post not because of some conspiracy.
> As proof that I am clearly not qualified to run a nearly trillion-dollar company, I offer this advice to Amazon -- ditch the marketplace. No more third party sellers.

Last I heard, it was ~50% of their revenue. And they take a 15% cut of the price, plus a per-transaction fee, for the cost of maintaining a product catalog (which they already do).

Not a chance they'll drop it.
> Very few people will claim that the problem with today's software is that programmers think things through too much and should rush to write code instead (though for the record I think that's actually the case).

People coming from easy to refactor languages have widely different rule books from the ones coming from boileplate-filled ones. It expected that the same person thinks people should rush to write code earlier and gets to understand how a project can fail because of lack of higher-kinded types. The hard part is explaining to people how those weird languages make one more productive, because their thought follows completely opposite rules.
My anecdata is that I know 4 people from my graduating class who are dead today because of opioids. I don't know what the rates are, but it definitely affects the young as well.
The economy is going to kill every generation from here on out. It is estimated that climate change will knock off 10% of the US GDP by the end of the century: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/23/climate/us-climate-report...

How do we go about changing societal expectations to stop expecting perpetual growth? People aren't going to be happy it is no longer a given their children will do better than themselves, or even that they will be capable of taking care of them in their old age due to resource and economic crunches.
And inference by pattern recognition is fallacious, as any Poisson distribution will demonstrate.
> The first is piracy probably didn’t lead to the failure of the Dreamcast.

Sega led to the failure of the Dreamcast. They had failed fans with the SegaCD. Released the 32X as a "bridge" between the 16bit and 32bit consoles (then promptly abandoned it). They released the Saturn with almost no fanfare in the US, and with last minute architectural hacks to make it pass as a 3D console (just barely).

By the time the Dreamcast came out, people were just tired of Sega's shit.
The opioid crisis isn't limited to older generations, it's definitely impacting millenials as well[0]. The millenials that are most likely to be impacted just tend to be from more economically depressed areas.

Tarkovsky's my favorite director, but I really did not like Solaris. For me, Tarkovsky's Stalker is the infinitely better film.

The Man Who Fell to Earth, Primer, Videodrome, Blade Runner, Brazil, A Clockwork Orange, Open Your Eyes (aka Abre Los Ojos), and Empire Strikes Back would be others I'd put on my favorite scifi movie list.
I think this is really the tale of two Millennials and is a phenomenon that actually effects all generations currently. There is a concentration of wealth in this country and the wage increases in the bottom 90% have not kept up with the cost of goods limiting the purchasing power of this group. This issue is exacerbated by the increasing costs of goods and education leading to higher levels of debt for Millennials.

Anecdotal evidence shows that a lot of new grads with technical degrees are getting offers around $200k in the bay area and seattle (these are the other Millennials). By 5 years they're making more than many boomers did over a very successful 30+ year career. Clearly this is only a small subset of Millennials, but it is an example of concentration. I'm not sure whether this discrepancy between "classes" of new grads existed previously, does anyone have insight?
Great concept and economics. Since ex-employees are also likely shareholders to the company(not necessarily to the current employer), they also have the right incentives. Though not sure how it can verify someone actually worked at a company before.
