More over, this isn't about "you have to implement EDNS" (you should, but you don't have to). This is about "Either implement EDNS or when asked for EDNS, just say you don't offer that".

This isn't so much "You must offer a vegetarian option" as "Don't offer a vegetarian option but then when anybody orders it you force a steak down their throat while screaming 'Choke on it you hippie!'".
Yes that's what I had in mind. It worked that time too, the general public accepted SSNs.

Maybe it's cynical, but I don't believe there is any limit on how many times you can lie to the public. There's only a limit to the frequency.
sorry, but it already has. Censorship resistant money aka Bitcoin exists and works today!
Chrome now has a "generate password" option in password fields, and a page where the passwords can be managed.

For the people I'm talking about, installing and maintaining a "real" password manager isn't going to happen. The alternative is for them to continue using "Nameofcat1" for every damn site.

It's a reasonable trade-off.
That is the traditional EU approach, c.f. the Constitution of Europe, Treaty of Lisbon and so forth.

Direct democracy does not scale to running a country. Effectively, the task of making, deciding, and implementing policy is very much a full-time job, and most people cannot devote the time it takes to be sufficiently informed to make decisions. Decisions that require a lot of careful policy crafting and negotiation to implement are not good candidates for referendums, especially when the cutoff is as low as 50% + 1. In jurisdictions with saner direct democracy mechanisms (say, Switzerland), there is substantial filtering of any proposals through the regular legislature process so that referendums are less "implement this policy" and more "this is something that is important to us, please figure out what needs to be done here."

With respect to Brexit in particular, the government made a grave error in triggering Article 50 prematurely. May then called an early election to strengthen her negotiating position which actually weakened it instead. There is substantial cover for saying "We clearly need more time to figure out how to do this, and the March deadline is too soon to get this done. Let's pause this process for now." Sure, a lot of people will be pissed, but we're at a stage where any action (including inaction) will piss off at least 30-40% of the population.
You mean celebrity rapper KRS-1, who (a long time since he was a success, and when he was trying to start a weird hip-hop religion) met Dr. Rapp, gave him "rap lessons" and planned to write a book or do a record with him (neither of which came to fruition.)

This also all happened in 1999, right before the LA Times articles in 2000. This was a KRS-1 publicity project that didn't end up working.

BTW, it's a straw man to pretend that this story being a fabrication means that the man himself was fabricated. I'm sure some retired white guy after having a stroke went to a rap open mic battle, got noticed by KRS-1 who thought he might be able to use him, which gave him the social capital to attend events regularly and make friends. I also don't doubt that once or twice during the period of his "rap lessons," KRS-1 trained him like a parrot to have a good minute on stage. Especially with the novelty, I'm sure people gave him a break, and there's no indication he wasn't trying hard, and people like when you try hard.

Those lyrics are horrific, though. Also, shit features like this remind me that if the media wasn't 24-hour Trump, it still wouldn't be covering anything important, it would just have to find 10x more stories about waterskiing dogs and rapping grandpas.
That is what happens, yes. The DUP prefers that because it pushes NI away from ROI.
>> Nobody here is making the 100,000,000 wrenches you can buy at Wal-Mart.

There are still people making nails in the US. Fertilizer. Food gets exported. Then there is all the stuff to too expensive to ship. Lumber, aluminum sheeting, cement ... lots of non-precision stuff is still made locally. Not every US factory makes munitions.

And some stuff is made locally not because of 'better' manufacturing ability but for speed. The fashion industry has to react quickly, quicker than overseas shipping can manage. I just ordered a small electronics assembly from a Canadian manufacturer not because they are the most skilled or precise but because they can chat with me on the phone and ship a small-run (5) faster than any Asian manufacturer. (It's a device for measuring laser energy at specific wavelengths but I have some specific needs re how the data is collected/displayed. It only took a 10-minute call to explain my issues and get a deal together.)
which is the cheapest DNS service that allows one to buy "Registry Lock" (not the simpler registrar lock). I'm talking out-of-band confirmation of any DNS changes ?

The big ones like Mark Monitor, etc are super expensive. I thought Cloudflare Business DNS would be cheaper, but they start at 1000-2000$ per year.

Any recommendations ? I have heard of Safenames..but not many others.

Similar story here. I'm a TL at a Big N company right now with a team of ~8, but I failed pretty badly interviewing at a unicorn a bunch of years ago. Don't know if I was having an off day or wasn't prepared properly or what, but I just flubbed it. Shit happens. Interviewing is very high variance. Where I currently work, there's a small proportion of interviewees who are good enough to always get hired, and then a much larger number who are good enough to sometimes get hired, depending on factors outside their control. Hence why people can re-interview a year later so long as it didn't go terribly the first time.
Can you expend on MimbleWimble? Because in bitcoin you don't need to store the full transaction details, just the root of the merkle tree.

The best I've seen in this space is the coda protocol which only gives you a recursive proof of knowledge that the previous block was verified as well as proofs from previous blocks
Perhaps is was a mistake to switch over to the ZoL as the reference implementation. At least FreeBsd does not have the FSF jihadies willing to blow themselves up just to make a point...
Depends, if you have hosted the DNS at netlify, then you can assume it is.

If you only run hosting at netlify (thus, having your DNS CNAME to Netlify) you can still have problems.

You might be an exception, but food for thought: the number one reason why my clients, when I was running a consulting business, couldn't find in-house DevOps folks was an unwillingness to pay. At best, most places would pay line engineer rates--the same thing they'd pay for a Java or a Rails developer--for a skillset that's significantly broader than most (certainly not all, but most) line engineers at a given level of seniority and is significantly more in-demand. In the Boston area as an example, I regularly saw companies trying to get senior devops engineers at rates more appropriate for mid-level, and principals for hilariously under rate. (We're talking $140K offers for a senior devops engineer when the next place would offer $180K, and $160K for principals who could get $220K elsewhere.)

To be fair, this is sometimes trickier because a lot of "devops engineers" are actually mouse-driven system administrators, so the means and medians often look odd. That somebody who does what I do, and somebody primarily doing things hand-o-matically, would have the same job title throws a wrench into one-to-one comparisons. But you can figure it out.

Scotland is a nation state, in a union with other nations. I'm sure you are aware of that so I'm not sure of what point you were trying to make.
I think there's a crucial difference between legitimate open campaigning and deceitful clandestine campaigning. The former is an investment toward making certain facts and, possibly controversial, opinions made known to a wider, perhaps targeted, audience and the ultimate motivation for this is transparent. The latter is a deliberate attempt to sow disinformation and confusion to particularly vulnerable audiences to achieve an outcome for which the ultimate motivation is troublingly obscure. They are total opposites - truth and lies.
If Bitcoin was released before online banking, would you have said the same?
KeePassXC supports YubiKey out of the box. I do not access anything important via phone. I usually have my laptop nearby anyway.
I would never process a charge back in this situation- I always try to contact the merchant by reasonable means first. Further, the last few times I have had to deal with fraudulent charges, my banks has always asked if I had attempted to contact the merchant- in one case they even called with me to insist that the merchant refund me (Having my bank on the line let them know I was serious about doing a charge back if they refused to cooperate- they cooperated).

What the OP describes though was a merchant making it difficult to contact them. I think in the case where the merchant insists on you calling them and fails to answer their phone, a charge back is warranted.
I do value good mattresses and IKEA mattresses don’t work for me. My family historically bought mattresses from Costco but not all warehouses carry them.

In this case, bad measurements are OK. They average out over time. If the bias is one way, then one type of agent (seller or buyer) gets a bit more pay than the other, but this is not a disaster and is compensated by agents competing to work on the higher-paying side of the transactions.

Given that google also fails to give me the result I want at least 5% of the time, I guess nothing is good enough.

They certainly don't seem to want a hard border with RoI, but they will sooner chop an arm off than accept a hard border between NI and the rest of the UK, so given the choice I think they'd take the former. They're the Democratic Unionist Party, keeping NI an integrated part of the UK is literally their entire reason for existing.
> The efficiency gains and extra data to help the justice system come to accurate judgments is far too large

That's an admirable way of looking at the US justice system, but not quite how it really works. The system is adversarial, and "the truth" is a narrative advocated by one of the combatants.

Given enough data, a DA could choose which facts fit their narrative and present a very convincing "truth" to a jury. Unless defendants have access to the entire dataset and can select their own datapoints to refute that narrative, they're fighting at an extreme disadvantage.

Picture a scenario where a person gets murdered, and you're on trial because the only evidence the police have is a smart streetlight log of your car's whereabouts that show you parked in front of a mob-owned business and later in front of the victims house. Your truth is a simple dinner and date with the victims neighbor. The DA's truth is "backed by data".

Yes, this sounds far-fetched and may be an oversimplification, but it's important to remember that the justice system isn't programming and access to more general data doesn't necessarily level the playing field.
Cool question.

Basically, you don't manage your time. You use it. What are you trying to accomplish, how many resources do you have?

There are goals, you set, and there are bottom-up driven innovations.

The feeling of being overwhelmed is a good one as long as drowning in ideas not trouble. ;)

I try to have a decent team around me to help me get my goals done. The rest is hard work, there is no happy path to leadership/management. Dealing with VUCA is the price you pay. This is part of accepting being a manager. I read a lot of good business books, talk to trusted colleagues and set timt to focus on strategic topics.

Enjoy your career, learn and have fun with the people!

I haven't used PHP for quite a while but personally I was more satisfied with the SublimeText than Atom but the difference between those two was minimal and I even could say it was "matter of taste". I switched back to SublimeText, because I had been more satisfied with the auto-completion and snippets features in my setup and I couldn't find any plugins to Atom which will give me comparable feel. Today, I guess many add-ons for Sublime are outdated and/or not possible to work with, so Atom might a better choice.

Except PHPStorm I know many developers who got used to NetBeans IDE.

The lower bound for the price of a collectible Lego set is what you could expect when sold solely as a cheaper, slightly outmoded alternative to a new Lego set. That's better than baseball cards and the like, but still easily offset by the cost of storage and handling.
Back in the day, before I just defaulted to using Google, I remember checking multiple search engines to find the thing I was looking for. You'd check Yahoo/Google/Lycos, try a couple of different phrasings, and then if that didn't work try searching on a few other search engines. Somewhere along the way, Google had won me over, because I almost always found my answer. I had stopped even considering other search engines.

Now that I'm on DDG, I find that I'm following a similar pattern of searching DDG, then searching google, and I'm finding that most of my searches work great on DDG. What's surprising to me is that when I move on to using Google, I'm considering widening my search even beyond DDG and Google. It feels like, by considering different search options, I'm going back to how I used to explore the internet, rather than defaulting to taking Google's results as truth.

And now, seeing a variety of options from DDG, I am surprised at how irrelevant some of the links are on Google some times. It feels like when I search on Google, Google is telling me 'No no, you don't care about JsonAPI parsing performance, you care about parsing json, because we know best'.

I'm glad that DDG is alive and doing well. I love using it and I don't notice any difference for most queries, and falling back to google hasn't really been as painful as I thought it would be.
I have very good credit and I recently got an offer for a credit card with a 29% interest rate.

The reason I know this is because of consumer protection laws. Otherwise this number would have been hidden in the very very very fine print of some page somewhere.

Google's search engine provides good results for precisely the reason DDG will never be able to: They sacrifice privacy to collect data that improves search results.
This is a many-times repost but still a good read. I've gotten to the point where I only trust Wirecutter/Consumer Reports reviews of anything.

Another worry is recession and the popping of the tech bubble. Sooner or later the bubble has to popped and that's going to cause a lot of pain throughout the tech industry. Should be interesting to see how the industry rebounds and in what form. Will VR be the new "hot thing" like smartphones were after the 2008 recession.

Huh? I can’t make out if this is sarcasm... you suggesting opening the firewall from the inside for each request, finishing the request and then closing the firewall? For starters, what would happen if request 1 closed the firewall while request 2 was still working?
Just for clarity: they offer a commercial license, for money. If you work for a company that doesn't like AGPL, perhaps they're more comfortable with paying money for software? Those two tend to go hand in hand, in my experience.

https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine/wiki/License-Explai...

(The wording is odd, but I parse that as "Commercial licenses ... are available on request.")

EDIT: I have to say, the entitled attitude I'm seeing in this thread towards free software, irks me. It's literally dual licensed. Perhaps if your company is so petrified of contributing back to the community (perish the thought), you could bring yourself to pay money? Closed source software never gets this crap, but woe you if you dare offer your code under the same license family that brought us GCC and Linux! Give me a break. Pay money or accept the AGPL, but please don't bully people who offer the fruits of their labour to the open source community under the most freedom license.

Sorry for the negativity. And many thanks to Hasura.
They do: private blockchains do not require the participants, nor third parties to trust the root permissions on the permissioned database (because there aren't any).
My wife and I don't allow much screen time, but for our toddler, with a lot of things...

My wife is inclined to give "bonus minutes". I'm inclined to give warnings, as I've found the effect the same. My wife will come out and say "It's been ten minutes, we're moving on to X" and toddler will struggle so she'll say "two bonus minutes". I'll remind him after eight minutes that "he's got two minutes left". He'll ask for bonus minutes, but when I say no there isn't much of a struggle.
That seems unlikely because every mattress store is its own thing with its own made up names. I imagine there are some tags somewhere on these mattress with some kind of product model that you could look up to see where it actually came from.

It would be a lot of work to organize this mess of information.
Texas does just fine without an income tax. The idea that natives are “worried” is nonsense. I live in California now where plenty of natives are worried because of how high taxes are. It seems bizarre that Seattle “natives” are actually worried because there aren’t enough taxes. That’s a strange crowd. Here is a spoiler: with an income tax, property taxes don’t get lowered, New Jersey has incredibly high property taxes and an income tax. Left leaning governments never, ever met a tax they didn’t like and want to expand. The idea that a Washington income tax would lower property taxes is just a fantasy. An additional tax just inspires politicians to spend more.
Bootstrapping a Business: 5 Years In
There are two problems: one of inherent complexity, one of UI.

First - the UI is a mess, and that should have been fixed. It would make a big difference.

Second - is the inherent complexity. That's a good point, but I feel many things could be hidden or obfuscated.

Most poignantly, Git does something that most of us do not need: it was designed to work as a 'completely distributed system', i.e. for open source.

Almost none of us do that. 95% of uses cases related to you and I working collaboratively, on a project together.

The need to have repos which are essentially totally distinct from one another is a huge source of complexity and it simply doesn't need to exist in most cases.

So Git is basically an 'admin level tool' that is commonly used in scenarios for which it wasn't meant to be used, with a confusing interface.

It's costing a lot of time and money and headaches, I do believe someone may come along eventually and fix it.

This thread is essentially evidence of this - see how many people have difficult teaching what should essentially be a simple thing in most cases.

Way too many very smart people still spend too much time clustering around in git.
Unfortunately, homework assignments are being abused to the point of being absurd.

Around here, the trend is requiring a 16-20 hour assignment just after a brief 15 min phone call, almost before starting the process at all.

Not only it is a ridiculous amount of effort to ask someone who may already be doing 8 hours a day programming but it's also a problem for the company. Either they have to spend significant effort evaluating each candidate's submission or -more likely, sadly- they only give it a perfunctory look and discard many on first glance. And considering that often the person doing the evaluation has his own tasks to do and is doing it on some spare time, they will tend to not make much of that effort.

The result is the company still needs to do significant effort and the candidate gets frustrated because they have had to spend a significant amount of time and, after having to wait for a couple of weeks -at the very least-, they get generic and useless feedback saying simply that they did not meet the expectations or whatever.

I would not mind at all doing a two-three hour on-site assignment. If you're there, they will at least have to make a similar effort as you are. I find this much more fair both as a candidate and as an employer.
