I don't understand your question. We don't use RSA because it's less secure than curves. We don't use 3DES because it's an insecure cipher with a 64 bit block size. We don't use MD5 because you can generate collisions for it.

The point of not using PGP is not being a system that can negotiate us down to things like 64-bit blocks or RSA.

Most likely the domains like tmp.dev, staging.dev, and production.dev are premium domains that will never be released by the registry.

Many premium domains are held back by the registry, which are a part of icann rules. Those domains are typically not able to be registered and used by anyone.

There seems to be some confusion between Tax-breaks and subsidies. The three Billion that AOC and Co suggest will now be available for other investments would not have been money given to Amazon, it would have been money that Amazon would have paid less in taxes, while still paying a reduced tax rate. No Amazon = 0 Taxes.

(It is worth noting that Amazon would still have claimed other subsidies made available to all companies in the state of NY - however now claiming a plus of 3 Billion is simply incorrect. More so, even with the 3 Billion tax break I don't think there is an argument that Amazon would have been a net-negative - quite the opposite in fact)
It bugs me a lot that humanity cannot make shelter a basic human right, rather it's something you have to work for and most likely work for a lender to pay of your debt while juice running with excessive rates.

This.

If we just look at supply and demand, it's a model where a business has one pool of humans for labour, and another pool for customers.

In reality, it's an incredibly complicated web where the labour associated with one business are the customers of another.

Changing the way the money is distributed within that web does not necessarily follow simple laws of supply and demand.

Update: I actually explain this to my kids. The money a barista earns making me a coffee goes to Netflix, or Uber, or Apple. They in turn buy PagerDuty. PagerDuty pays me. And they pay taxes. Which pays for our education.

Raising their income doesn't mean that the money just disappears from the economy, to everyone's detriment. That's actually the great thing about giving more money to labour. The amount of that money that goes to offshore tax havens is negligible.

Compare and contrast to Corporate Welfare.
This seems to be a a poll by phone? https://scri.siena.edu/2019/02/12/majority-support-nys-deal-... I don't answer calls from unknown numbers, and I think there are a lot of people like myself.

I think there's significant sampling bias in telephone polls - and especially when the results of the poll seem to disagree so sharply with political sentiment as measured in other ways, we should probably be asking more questions about better ways to measure sentiment accurately.

The next election cycle will be interesting in how it plays out. Will upstate blue bloods prevail or the new progressives/socialists prevail and possibly return NYC to the 80s when overtaxation drove business out into NJ and other places.

I really think thd next cycle has the potential of being a referendum on socialist/progressives versus blue Dems.

Bezos is a Dem ally but thd socialists see him as a billionaire to be vilified and taken down on behalf of the downtrodden.
I reserved unix.dev for the regular domain reservation price, not the crazy "premium domain" price because unix.dev was not part of the premium domain list.

However, Google determined that no, unix.dev should be a premium domain, and "stole" the reservation from me (after I have already paid for it). They later added it to the premium domain list, and they asked me for $11k to keep the reservation.

TBH, I expected to lose the domain because of trademarks or whatever, but apparently it was simple highway robbery.

Btw, I didn't even get my money back, just "store credit".
I'm surprised there is no site to crowdfund TLDs by taking a deposit from people in order to reserve a name
And in that case increasing minimum wage makes the problem worse. Investments will go even more toward businesses that are not labor intensive like tech and less toward businesses that rely on unskilled and semi skilled labor - increasing income inequality.
I think it's helpful sometimes to think of the minimum wage not as a prescribed payment, but as a ban on employment below some level. We've decided that it's better to be unemployed than to be paid less than X.

That's OK, we ban lots of other things people might otherwise voluntarily agree to -- like overly dangerous jobs, where we as a community take a longer-term view than the guy desperate to make the rent. Partly because we'll be on the hook when he lands himself in hospital.

But banning more and more jobs doesn't obviously improve matters. It seems that we've already banned many starter-jobs, the sort teenagers used to work.
Would that mean that after Visa & MasterCard do this, AMEX will actually be the better option for merchants?
One thing usually absent from these threads is the idea that there should be more variation in the housing options available.

So while we could argue over raising the minimum wage 2.5 times... I think it'd be much more useful to consider the thought exercise of creating a wider set of housing options. Perhaps full time minimum wage work could reliably afford a single person some sort of minimum viable apartment or room - small, no frills shelter. But this would require more alternatives than lots of "luxury" apartments and a constrained supply of existing "normal" apartments.
All of these discussions ignore a reality: In a global economy both capital and industries are mobile.

If the business equation is made unsolvable at location A and a solution can be had at location B, both capital and, eventually, industries, will migrate. And people will lose their jobs.

I am surprised this is even an argument today. How much more evidence does anyone need than China? Try to buy a bath tub or a computer made in the US or Europe and see how well that goes.

Those jobs evaporated along with the corresponding industries and the ecosystems that supported them.

It’s a combination of labor, regulatory and tax policies that continue to drive nail after nail into more and more coffins. I say this as a manufacturer with over thirty years of entrepreneurial experience in the US and Europe.

Those who support these policies love the poor so much that they make more of them every day.

> No Amazon = 0 Taxes.

That's not true for a few reasons:

- Amazon will still be growing in New York, as confirmed by their press release: "There are currently over 5,000 Amazon employees in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Staten Island, and we plan to continue growing these teams." They just won't get the benefits of the HQ2 deal. So, they'll still be paying taxes.

- Other companies will be able to move in to the land and hire the people that Amazon would have hired. They're not the only employer in town. Those companies will pay taxes, which will go to the same government coffers, even if the money doesn't come from Amazon.
OK, that’s interesting. I wouldn’t really trust to google books since it is OCRed.

I can’t get Google results like those with numbers on mobile, as far as I know. What comes up for me is discussions about what is grammatically proper in this case. https://www.quora.com/Which-is-grammatically-correct-check-i... for instance. All I had to search for was the phrase “check into hotel“, and the results show this is a hot topic of grammatical discussion because that is what came up rather than information about hotels.

‘Check into’ sounds different than ‘sign into’ to me, probably because few say sign vs check for a hotel. I suppose grammatically they’re the same.

I would certainly flag it when editing. I also do not commonly see anyone use the contracted form for this. The reason is that the verb is the phrase “sign in”. The word ‘in’ is not a candidate to be modified by being combined because it is paired with ‘sign’. We would never modify a single-word English verb by adding a suffix like ‘to’, and the same rule applies for phrase verbs. Beyond that, I’m not a grammar expert, so I would imagine the above link could shed more light than I can.
That's basically what full employment means, and we pretty much there.

So a pile of 'something else' jobs would be replaced with shotty Amazon jobs - and the stories from their corporate offices and from their warehouses have been harrowing.

No.

Is the gouge for early access normal for registrars with a new TLD?
Does anyone know how the “premium” renewal prices are set and governed? I’m going through this right now with .app domains (also owned by Google). Apparently domains categorized as “premium” have a much higher yearly pricing, and how it’s priced is not specified anywhere on the registry website. I called a few registrars and they said that the premium pricing is set by the registry. What’s concerning is that the registrars admitted that there really isn’t anything stopping the registry from increasing the premium pricing at will.

Anyone have anymore info about this? Seems concerning that a registry has no restrictions on what they can do with pricing after an individual has invested into an expensive domain.

This keeps getting repeated but it’s nonsense.

1) There was $300-500 million in the deal that was just straight up cash to help them build the HQ area. That’s cold hard taxpayer money that can now be spent on subways or housing or anything else.

2) The idea that there will now be “0” taxes is ridiculous. First of all Amazon itself will likely still expand in NYC anyways, since there were clearly reasons why increasing their presence here was in their interest. And regardless, this is New York, we’re not short of development. Other businesses will just take over that area instead, like they do in every corner and crevice of this densely packed city, and they’ll pay their share of taxes instead.
What if they remove domains owned by open source projects that refuse to implement a CoC?

I don’t think they will, but buying a domain from a company that’s so involved in politics doesn’t seem wise.
I once did not receive my cash at an ATM at a bank. At the end of the day they cash out the machines and could verify that I didn't receive my cash and credited my account.

Minimum wage jobs are not intended to be full time permanent work.

The problem is that a ton of people end up treating them as such because they don't feel they can do any better.

That's what needs to be fixed, really. The idea that stuff like cycling about doing food delivery is going to pay for a nice flat in city like London is absurd.

It's a job for kids to do whilst they learn how employment works.

In smaller towns in the UK you can buy a small terraced house with two min wage earners.
"it's pretty clear it was intended to be."

During FDRs time, we didn't have the looming threat of automation or competition from countries like China, where they can pay workers a fraction of our minimum wage and productions are priced equally as low.

"Businesses clearly survived (and thrived!) then; its purchasing power now is 1/3 lower than the peak in 1968."

This may be true, but raising minimum wage will result in an overall increase in prices for everyone, including the recipients of that wage increase.

It's really just a shell game anyway. You increase minimum wage, prices eventually catch up (IE: inflation), and those people that had minimum wage increased are now back in nearly the same position because their value has been increased artificially. This may take 5-10 years, but it will happen.

The correct (and more difficult) solution is to educate/train those workers so they can provide more value to companies.

Politicians don't want to even talk about it because giving free money to people sounds so much better to most people and wins you votes.

Other reasons for high cost of rent is regulation:

San Francisco also has one of the highest percentage of homelessness and one of the highest cost to rent. One of the reasons? Housing regulations prevents many new building projects from completion. The supply is low and the demand is always high. This could be solved by simply decreasing regulations. Why isn't it being done?
And it's less that the rich receive some benefit than that the burdens and benefits are widely uneven. If the rich pay taxes and then receive some percentage of them back in benefits, well, BFD. It doesn't make much difference whether you pay $30,000 in taxes by paying $30,000 directly or by paying $40,000 with a $10,000 credit.

On the other hand, if you say that people who had been making $10 have to make $17, that's a real kick in the teeth to the person who had been making $20 and is still making $20 only now things cost more because on the supply side it's more expensive to hire and on the demand side there is more competition for goods and services.

Meanwhile the money isn't actually coming from the rich, it's coming from people who hire the poor, which isn't the same thing. The burden it puts on small shops is larger than the burden it puts on Apple.

> The ".localhost" TLD has traditionally been statically defined in host DNS implementations as having an A record pointing to the loop back IP address and is reserved for such use. Any other use would conflict with widely deployed code which assumes this use.

So it might work but it could be problematic if the intent is to use ".localhost" as a local network domain rather than just the local host.

- Sure, but this question is about the specific HQ2 deal. There's some amount of Amazon in most US cities.

I would use the Red Hat guide because it is comprehensive.
Web browsers don't normalize to NFC, NFD, or any other form, and you can control the normalization if you're making a mobile or desktop application. You as the login feature developer get to control and define in your backend interface what form you expect and handle.

In the backend you can choose to hash the non normalized string or a normalized one to the form you want. So this is all tightly under your control. There is no problem here.

I don't know what people you're talking about, but as I recall, the legal arguments against the Muslim ban hinged on Americans harmed by the ban --- families who couldn't see their Muslim family members, schools that couldn't serve their Muslim foreign students.

It seems pretty straightforward to observe that Chinese residents --- not to mention British residents --- do not in fact enjoy the First Amendment rights of Americans. In fact, neither do Americans, when they're in China or the UK. If they did, British libel law would be different, would it not?
Come on, it is supply and demand. Rents can't be raised unless demand is rising or supply is falling. Neither seems to be the case.

If minimum wage gets raised by 2.5 and it creates job loss wouldn’t that have to potential to still not effect people because they would only need one job instead of 2.5?
Currently inequality is high, companies are making huge profits and more and more money is going to the executives and shareholders of companies. If a company is making large profits and the minimum wage is increasd to a point where they are making a more modest profit it is still in their interest to employ the workers to keep making money.

Also, read about labour monopsony power. There are other factors at play than just supply and demand that effect the price paid for labour.
