It's not. I'm a web developer and it's my browser of choice.
According to registrars, yes. So for example, let's say I paid $1000 for a premium .app last year when they were released. Renewal price is marked for something like $280/yr, which I didn't expect, because I thought the premium pricing was an initial purchase price only. I thought the renewal price was standard .app renewal rates.

When I called to clarify with a few registrars, they said that this premium price ($280) is specified by the registry (Google), and that there's no guarantee that pricing will stay at $280. I used a hypothetical, and asked them if it were possible for Google to raise the price to something like $1000/yr or $10k/yr, and they confirmed that there is technically nothing stopping the registry from doing so.

That sounds like one fee per domain to me
I'd suggest starting with https://docs.dgraph.io/get-started/, and then going to https://tour.dgraph.io. It gives you all you need to understand the query language (based on GraphQL) and get you up to speed building your first app on a graph DB.
Yes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landrush_period
The renewal price is the same at any registrar, the pricing comes from the registry.
>The idea that the jobs are the problem, rather than the cities' willingness to accommodate newcomers, could also be considered quite toxic.

Accommodate newcomers with huge subsidies could be considered quite toxic? Or did you mean something else?
> This devistation is a societal choice made by having a non-existent social safety net in the US. In other countries it's less devastating due to government programs and universal healthcare that protect people while still incentivising them to search for work.

First of all, I agree that raising minimum wage without a proper social safety net is completely irresponsible.

However, if you look at countries like France with "free" education, relatively high minimum wage, lots of labor protection and a strong social safety net, you will find massive youth unemployment. The social safety net is supposed to catch you from falling off the rope. If you're never allowed to get on that rope because you're not employable even at minimum wage, you're likely to stay in the net forever. Soon enough most people around you rely on the safety net and it becomes the social norm.
The proposed eVoting solution will not do you much good then. It still relies on paper mail getting to you in time, and untampered with.

I understand the problem Swiss persons living abroad have with voting, but there are better ways to solve this than putting the whole vote at risk due to unsecurable Internet voting.
Right, and what if you can also fabricate the evidence used for the blackmail. Image generation techniques are improving year over year and we've gotten to the point where generating a video of a person saying anything you want in their voice with their face is coming closer to the realm of home computing power. Anyone with the time could focus on hacking social media accounts or even just faking a sceenshot. The media doesn't need much inclination or evidence to start the slander.
>they aren't strongly correlated with supply and demand and the health of the economy, then why do we even report labor statistics

You're making the assumption that the only reason labor statistics would be useful is if employment is subject complete to supply and demand.

Consider the possibility that labor statistics could be useful simply because they are an aspect of the health of the economy, and it doesn't necessarily matter if they are a result of supply and demand, or has a more complex causality.

Trying to reduce labor to supply and demand only makes things very nice for theoretical considerations, but it doesn't force reality to match theory. Supply and Demand is the same thing as a spherical cow in physics. A useful simplification sometimes, but if you take it literally, you're going to go wrong.
That's not a conspiracy theory, chaffing to obscure intent and capability is a real thing.
One tangent from this consideration would be:

I really actually hope Google decides to not index .dev domains/sites. It’s crazy how many times have I seen a site in dev or staging that gets indexed by google but shouldn’t be indexed.
Both IPFS and Dat will also have working peer-discovery on an isolated LAN as well.

If we're not able to significantly increase infrastructure for getting to work, whether roads, subways, ferries, or whatever, yes, the number of jobs in NYC is going to hit a cap pretty soon.

The usual way of solving this problem and continuing to scale a city is that you use tax revenue from new jobs to build additional public infrastructure. But the HQ2 deal made a point of giving up that tax revenue....
Thank you for mentioning this. Memories are increasingly short, and this is nothing new!

Are there any Russia-based pub servers for Scuttlebutt? Are clients configured to use these by default? Do they rely on any outside infrastructure (e.g. an authoritative DNS server located outside of Russia)?
Consider [sort all comedy movies by rating]. Such queries happen on a daily basis on movie sites like IMDB or Rotten Tomatoes.

The only way to avoid joins is when you specialize your data to a particular vertical. Therefore, your flat tables are then built to serve say movie data, and can avoid some joins.

But, if you're building something spanning multiple verticals, like Knowledge Graph is, which houses movie data, celebrity data, music data, events, weather, flights, etc. Then building flat tables specific to each vertical's properties is almost impossible.
Isn't that called quoting people?
The squatters defense is a good point - however, this also seems to ensure that the megacorps get the best pieces before anybody else gets to choose.

If defending against squatters is the top priority, they could also make it an application-driven process: Let people submit proposals about what they want to do with the domains along with a link to their organisation and have some group grant applications (preferably along some previously published criteria)
Bill Gates Gets Why People Are Doubting Billionaires
Whether you think it should be higher or lower, my main point is that I think you should flip things around (banning instead of prescribing) and see whether you agree with yourself.

I'm not sure workplace safety is so different -- I think of most of these regulations as implicitly putting a price on a a life (or a price on a "nanomort" which seems less crude). The price has risen over time because we got richer (which is great!).

If we applied today's standards to (say) a steel mill in 1900 Pittsburgh, the cost of complying would be more than the total wage bill, so it should clearly not exist... but these were great jobs, people moved thousands of miles (and took the 1/10 chance of an early death) because it was better than trying to grow barley in Quebec.

That said, there are lots of other regulations besides safety, which (like the minimum wage) ban activities between consenting adults. Like cutting their hair for money, need a state license in how many states? Or offering legal advice, needs a license in every state. These all reduce opportunities, and some are insane, and some aren't.

Leonardo Numbers and Math I wish I knew
I worked out the numbers several years back and it was around 5%. Efficiency improvements since then should have improved this a fair amount. Even if you bump it up by an order of magnitude it's still rather remarkable how easily we could power the entire world on solar alone.

However, I completely agree on the real issue being one of longterm consumption. I would say this is something that's regularly ignored. The developing world starting to consume developed world electricity/capita alongside increasing world population is easily going to increase energy consumption by some orders of magnitude in the foreseeable future.

This poses unique challenges few are considering. For instance nuclear also runs into problems here with resource availability. The technology is already rather cost prohibitive and for future energy needs if it became a primary source you'd absolutely need to move to breeder reactors alongside saltwater uranium extraction which would both push the prices up significantly higher than even present. High energy demands alongside high energy prices might make the production owners/shareholders happy, but not much of anybody else.

In any case sooner or later we'll end up relying on solar simply because nothing else can compete on gross energy availability. The sun's a fusion reactor that could fit about 1.3 million Earths inside of it. That enables practically unlimited power out there just waiting to be harnessed one way or the other.
I lived in Williamsburg in the 90s and can tell you it was an amazing place to live then. It lacked for nothing. In my opinion it is utter crap now, thanks to what you call ‘real’ development.
I’m, that’s an icann rule for launching new tlds. The early access period is always higher, then there are several other periods that happen before a tld gets to General availability.

This pricing structure is not just for .dev domains.

If you were getting nothing in return you wouldn't be using it. I believe that facebook should be transparent about the kind of inferences they do for you, but they should also be able to deny you service if you don't agree.

Whether facebook is a monopoly is a different matter, which is orthogonal to the fact that they offer you a valuable service in return for advertising, which is imho a fair trade, as long as both of you are clear about the consequences.

I did a joke side project that encouraged users to pay $1 for a ridiculous startup idea ("Uber for firemen" or "Disrupt the cat grooming industry")

It made me $25 - but gave me the next idea. It had turned out to be more annoying than I imagined to put a payment button on a website (unless I wanted to use PayPal. I didn't - I use Stripe).

Without running a back-end, like an ecommerce app or a
home-rolled Heroku app or something - for token exchange, you can't use Stripe.
I don't mind building that kind of thing, but I figured other people must.

So I built Trolley [1] - it's a popup payments widget / cart, using Stripe, that works just by pasting in a snippet of HTML.

4 months later and I've got a few hundred users, I've started marketing it specifically to JAMstack and static site people, and I'm enjoying making it, very much.

I have to wonder if the US government is starting to look at China's technocracy as an example.
This is the opposite of what full employment means. Full employment means a fixed number of workers who mostly all have jobs already, not a fixed number of job opportunities. Adding more competition for labor during full employment means employers will be forced to make workers better offers, not worse offers. It does not mean every job can only be replaced by a worse job, it means the opposite of that.
Hmm, this definitely isn't the case for .app. There are numerous tiers of pricing as of right now. Google categorized specific names as "Premium", which you can see when searching for a lot of .app domains. These Premium domains vary in both initial purchase price AND the yearly renewal. One of my examples is in this thread. Purchase price was around $1000, yearly renewal is $280. Other names are even higher...

This one looks the safest and least prone to confusion.

> ".example" is recommended for use in documentation or as examples.

Both of these look problematic from a terminology standpoint, not a technical one.

> Lisp has not historically been "object oriented."

Historically Lisp was among the first object-oriented languages in the mid 70s. It was also the first standardized object-oriented language (in 1994).

The original Lisp was used for object-oriented modeling in the 60s - way before objects were identified as a programming paradigm. Objects were defined as symbols with property lists. Property lists were pairs of keys and values (sounds familiar?). Early Lisp papers also used the idea of classes and more.

> was added later as an abstraction layer over more fundamental Lisp concepts

No, CLOS was added as a new programming paradigm into the first Common Lisp variant - similar how one would add a Prolog-like language to Lisp. CLOS was also a third or fourth generation system. It was based on earlier object-oriented extensions to Lisp Lisp: LOOPS, Common LOOPS, Flavors, New Flavors, some more primitiv Class system, ...

Lisp did not include many/most of the CLOS abstractions, but Lisp enables to implement and integrate them seamlessly.

>Gopher is a much feature-less protocol than html

HTML is not a protocol, that's HTTP.
Yep. This isn't worth paying attention to (for a broad audience) until it works in humans. We've cured every brain decease 10 times over in mice models; they don't tend to translate. It's interesting and I hope scientists continue to explore novel cures to brain diseases, but personally, I think we could do with less of this kind of purely speculative news.
So why did Amazon pick LIC/Williamsburg?

There are basically two possible answers: because they thought they were uniquely in a place to salvage and redevelop it, or because it's currently in a state where it's getting active growth and popularity among the sort of workers Amazon wants to target. If the latter, that's going to continue with or without Amazon.

If the former - which is also the only reason an Amazon-specific subsidy and tax exemption is justifiable - I'm curious why, and I'm also curious if they would have believed that in the 1990s or early 2000s, too.
Reducing the number of employers is better for existing employers, yes. Less competition for labor. They will be able to get better talent and pay them less. That would be great, for them.
Generally we don't test products on humans if they kill animals first.
This is why it reminds me of it. The Running Man is the easiest pop culture reference that predates both of them. That said, the concept could easily be said as just a public gladiator contest. Because... that is what those were.

Not necessarily worse, but more common. Diamond dependencies happen a lot, especially in npm.
Indeed!

I tried using QubesOS for my primary (desktop-ish) laptop. I7, .5TB ssd, 32GB ram for $500 on ebay. And I would have maintained using it if it hasn't been for research into SDRs.

I needed the performance from USB for SDRs, and the way Qubes does it sends all USB data to a USBvm to prevent against all sorts of bad USB attacks (badUSB, rubber duckys, usb-gsm gateways, etc).

But if I wasn't doing SDR work, you can bet on it that I'd be using Qubes.
Thank you for the info. Maybe consider improving the GitHub article itself?
It depends on your definition of learning. If by learning you mean remembering how one author defined and proved various things then sure. If by learning you mean gaining the ability to do what the author did except for new problems, then at some point you will have to grapple with the fact that coming up with new ideas is a very different mental exercise from recalling things you've read.

A supporting factor in the necessity of exercises for learning to actually do the math is that authors often hide important technical tricks in the exercises.

Of course, a sufficiently intelligent person could learn anything by reading tea leaves and then deriving on their own whatever it was they wanted to learn, so in a sense you can learn math by doing anything.

Low cost drives ordinary predictions. The average prediction is probably a few milliseconds of in memory operations at best. No network calls. Certainly no IO's to disk.

That sounds just as empty except now with massive human overhead for processing applications that can pitch whatever they want. I'd even be tempted to write up some bullshit to get a domain I want. What are they going to do, research my details? You can barely get a human on the phone at Google even when you're a paying customer.

Not to mention all the hurt feelings when someone's application is denied and the domain stays undeveloped or becomes a terrible website.

Auctions seem unfair but money is an extremely simple system for allocating finite resources. And it's not like you need a dictionary word domain name to have an online identity. It's almost pure vanity.

"making the unhinged argument that a poor KDF is a feature because it encourages users to select better passwords."

Where does it say that? It says a better kdf would improve the security of shorter passwords. I don't see anything that suggests a poor kdf is a feature.

The kdf used for "gpg -c" also seems better than "openssh enc". And we've still not heard what the reasonable alternative is for symmetric/password file encryption is. So, I'm sticking with gpg for that use case.
Your story reminds me of this guy's: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viP4psS3MUQ (Dark Souls Helped Me Cope With Suicidal Depression).

I rather enjoyed his other videos, despite the verbosity/pomposity, but this one stood out to me because I had a similar experience playing Celeste. Unlike Dark Souls, Celeste is difficult in a more straightforward manner, but the story (about perseverance and facing anxieties and climbing literal and figurative mountains) is also much more integrated into the gameplay.

Not enough if you ask me. That's what makes it so difficult.

So let's solve that: let's build a search engine that let me filter sites according to privacy, Ah and be perceived as good as google - because in today's world, in many jobs, you cannot give up on an information advantage.

That's kind of an impossible mission.
really? Because everyone follow the already established laws.
No, we cannot - at least not reliably. That's why, with a few exceptions like chemo drugs, clinical trials start by giving separate groups of healthy patients increasing doses of the drug until 50% of a test group can no longer tolerate the side effects, to establish a maximum dose for the rest of the trials. Deaths in these Phase 1 trials are not exactly an every day occurrence but it's enough of a risk that this phase is most often done under total medical supervision (i.e. the patients don't go home until their role in the trial is over). This is also the phase where doctors begin to collect data about the pharmacology of the drug, which is used to compare the animal models against in vivo to figure out how the effects diverge.
