It seems to me, this has nothing to do with a 40 hour work week.

This person has overcommitted themselves in their personal life to the point where it is conflicting with their work responsibilities.
Because this is your area of expertise, can I ask you why more registrars are not selling 10 or 20 year domain ownership? Who wants a domain for just a year (if you agree with the premise behind individuals owning domains in the first place)?

If I could buy a domain for 50 years, I'd do it.
It's focusing on the harm to specific individuals rather than any benefit, thus implying you consider that change a benefit in itself, rather than a necessary harm that enables some other benefit.

It's like Hillary Clinton saying she'd put coal miners out of business - it sounds hateful, regardless of the intent.
if you don't like what you're doing, stop doing it
Even the internet as a whole isn't the problem. Corporations can share your data just as easily if it's from a paper form that you gave to them. It's not going to be long until cameras, drones, microphones everywhere are spying on everybody.

It'd be nice to have a quieter place like old gopher, but yeah the real increase in privacy it would bring is somewhat illusory.
Which naval operations? WW1 or WW2?
I’d say don’t do it. All idealistic dating apps seem to fail.
At the end of it, the mating game is vain, sexual, and primal. No way around it.
I would not be surprised if this was true, or at least had a significant amount of truth to it. It reminds me of the Zimmermann telegram that brought the US into WW1. The UK and the US both knew that Mexico was not going to help Germany (what with a Mexican revolution going on and all that), but the telegram was a convenient enough excuse for the US to join the war in Europe anyway.

The parallel here is that the US and UK are both waiting for the enemy to make a huge blunder (Germany trying to get Mexico to attack the US, or Japan attacking Pearl Harbor). Getting the US into the war was one of the top priorities of Churchill's government. And Roosevelt really wanted to help (the Lend-Lease among other things).

So this information, that Japan is about to attack, comes along, why would you stop it? Plus; how would you stop it? You can argue that revealing it was about to happen publicly would be enough for President Roosevelt to argue a war against Japan. But maybe he felt if Japan actually got to attack, he could also argue for a war against Germany?

My heat map was red for the UK place I was brought up in AND the city I currently live near (both in the south, about 70 miles apart). It also omitted the northern city where I lived for eight years and never felt that I picked up the accent. Nice.
I don't understand the bile here, nor the alternative. Today there are no .dev domains, so anything is an improvement: today you can't use them, tomorrow you can choose to if you think it makes sense.

Re: price, say the .dev registrar decides to offer domains for a hobby-dev-friendly $1 flat fee, first come first served. Wouldn't that just immediately lead to a resale market where predatory squatters register all the domains and extract the market price from anybody who wants one?
All traffic is monitored by the countless agencies around the world, the datacenters, the isps, spyware, malicious browser extensions, companies "helping" you by making a backup of your bookmarks and history, and so on, so it is definitely true for this site aswell.
I think basic educational theory would conclude that College/University should be an opportunity for people to 'learn how to learn', network, enjoy life while young, among other things. Whether everyone that goes to university actually does that is up to the individual.

Society/government can only do so much to push people towards success. I agree that a lot of people go to college without being prepared or able and that adds to the cost. It is the cost of failure that society has accepted up until today, we will see if it changes.
There are two types of time:

Time when you have to do something you don't want to be doing, and time when you are doing something you want to be doing.

Everyone has these two types of time, regardless of what they choose to do during each.

While you may do something you love, if you have to be doing it, it's still work.
I think we should also consider the pressures and advertising from all sides that pushed many kids into taking loans of quantities they didn't truly comprehend with potential consequences that weren't all that well explained to them. We know advertising works great on young people and when someone comes and tells them "Come here, you will make $120K a year out of college, you are the perfect candidate! You can pay off your loans in 2-3 years if you want and still have tons of money!" And then everyone around them jumps on board "OMG thats so great! Of course you need to jump on that now!", but then in reality it is a completely unprepared student with no idea what they are getting into, middling grades at best, signing their name over on documents that can barely decipher, to get a degree in either something incredibly hard or incredibly useless.

We know advertising works well and makes people do and buy shit they don't need or want, and in this case it was primarily targeted at kids during and immediately after highschool who are especially vulnerable.
I dunno, I find it off putting when the 1% complain about how tough their lives are. It would be more palatable if it were surrounded by intense gratitude they are afforded off the backs of the less fortunate who are doing the grinding work of keeping the world functioning. But the gratitude is practically nonexistent.
A conservative "safe withdrawal rate" is about 3.5%, so you need around $1.1M invested in index funds in order to have $40k income per year.

I'm living in Thailand, and $40k goes a long way. Many people would be happy with this lifestyle, but it's not quite enough for me, and I wouldn't want to spend the rest of my life here. I'd much rather have $80-100k and live somewhere like Toronto. But to each their own.
I can't tell if your argument is that we should artificially limit TLDs to increase competition? Is that the point you are making?

Literally: "We will create monopolies and increase competition."

Unbelievable.
Trying to buy high test hydrogen peroxide (high concentration) might well get you flagged by the police as its used in bombmaking
I think the malaise stems more from a personal sense of dissatisfaction than it does the objective conditions of an oppressive work week. Either accept the trade-off, develop a better attitude toward it, or change your life.
Yeah, there are domain names out there that are so valuable that they've sold for eight figures USD. There definitely are domains that buyers (typically companies) are willing to spend well over $10k on acquiring. It's with this in mind that the EAP prices are set.
This impacted work for people I know and we have all asked around informally and no one has info in the beltway so those in the know seem to be tight lipped about it.

That said I was unaware of the Talos publication last week so I will read that but I assume this same surface level fluff.
TPU is also slow, they used pod with 64 TPUs for training BERT.
You probably can achieve similar result using distributed training on multiple GPU machines.

1. Shilling is shilling and I, as someone who doesn't care about your company or it's offerings, will recognize shilling as such no matter of you're one guy with an app or a trillion dollar company.

2. It will reflect poorly in my mind if you jump on any opportunity to shoehorn your company or product online. Cheap, cheesey and opportunistic are three words that come to mind when I think about that situation.
Seems like a feature that an app at scale could build into it if they wanted to and I’m sure they’ve all thought about it.

My guess is that none have tried because they don’t want the liability of facilitating harassment or worse if something goes wrong. I think you’d also have a lot of no shows.
I am not sure what the parent specifically has in mind, but Churchill wasn't Navy Minister during WW2, and didn't have the same direct control over the navy like he did in WW1, where he really blundered through it.

Indeed, I might imagine the UK doing better in WW2, because Churchill was less in direct control of operations.
They could easily set a limit based on headcount, similar to public schools. The only problem I see with that is people purposefully defunding the system and turning it into a bigger bureaucratic hell like many public schools have become.
I’ve just been hired by big tech (TM) working 4 days a week. Have done this in the last 2-3 jobs. Ask for it (after you have been made an offer), blaze the trail. We can make this become the norm!
Interesting, do you have more resources I can share with people?

Generally, I think you're right that a lot of the information is available. I think maybe there's a misunderstanding with just how little "money availability" there is for someone in rural America working a minimum wage job, hence why my dream is to target people while they're still in school.
There are an awful lot of people who are unaware that DNSSEC is basically useless, unfortunately.
I don't want to run someone else's code on my server just for this (the default certbot wants root access too, yikes), nor do I want to analyze someone else's implementation before running their code, and I sure as heck don't have the time, patience, or interest to write my own implementation of ACME just for the one service that uses it.

I want to go to a website, have it tell me to put a string into a meta tag or DNS TXT record, and then save the key it returns on my box. Then I want to forget about it for the next 2-3 years.

Honestly I don't even want to do that. I want my nameserver to generate a DANE/DNSSEC record for me automatically, and for browsers to honor that. It isn't like domain verification is any more secure than a DNSSEC record would be.
Namecheap is also participating in EAP for .dev, so you can skip the transfer entirely.
Exact same situation here!
In the case of a hydrogen peroxide rocket, the reaction is triggered when the peroxide hits a catalyst.
Try the "scan code" button which should activate the camera and the app will crash. I just tested it with my iPhone and verified. The iOS App Store application was last updated 4 years ago. There's also comments there saying it doesn't work anymore.

Reading / using existing codes might work properly, or manually inputting them.
Or shared credentials, etc.
You can call it "similar but weirdly different" in the same sense that the people who are subject to propaganda live in similar but weirdly different realities. What is true depends on your viewpoint.

When a formal system says: "this computation halts after some number of steps", then under the default interpretation that means that after say 10000 steps the computation really halts. But in the "similar but weirdly different" reality where transfinite numbers exist the above claim can still be considered true if it runs indefinitely. One simply has to entertain the idea that "some number of steps" might mean a transfinite number of steps.

In other words, yes, we can say that the formal system lies provided we accept that what is and what isn't a lie depends on the viewpoint.
> I don't think you understand how large companies work.

I've worked in multi-thousand person orgs with both unions and non-unions. I've been tasked with everything from installing satellite dishes on top of downtown office buildings to writing code in a climate controlled office.

I don't have an MBA in HR, but I do have my personal experiences and those of my coworkers. When I was installing satellite dishes it was great knowing I had union backup (even if work rules like carrying a geiger counter seemed a little over the top). When writing code the biggest risk I face is a repetitive stress injury, and a coder's salary goes a long way to buying my own ergonomic equipment.
Until the automated process breaks. I've encountered more "invalid certificate" warnings on Let's Encrypt sites than any others.
We already have something like that, when you don't pay on your loans they garnish your wages. They aren't not trying to collect this money, the problem is many people don't have the money to pay it off. Creditors will call you literally every single day if you owe money on student loans and aren't paying on them.
I pay taxes to fund public school and universities, using it myself or not, because I don't want to live among ignorants.
30% hydrogen peroxide is commonly used in laboratories and can be used to make Triacetone Triperoxide, which is the reason why you can't take a full-sized bottle of shampoo on a plane.

A bottle that large of TATP could blow up a plane but you'd be lucky to make it to the airport with it before it explodes.

The 90%+ stuff used in rocketry is hard to get because it is dangerous to handle.

>following someone around takes time. If you photograph them you have to develop film (and you won't know if the photos turned out until then). And while it may have been legal, social norms said don't stalk people

It also required a minimum ratio of one person to one target to capture such information. The barriers to justifying round-the-clock surveillance of someone were far higher when such activity entailed paying for round-the-clock manpower. An individual would need to have made very wealthy or very determined enemies in order to demand such close attention but technology has lowered these barriers such that literally everyone with a smartphone is effectively under round-the-clock surveillance.
Eh, I'll just keep doing what I've been doing, but thanks.

The biggest reason is because bosses don’t want us to. They want to make as much money as possible, and that’s about it really. The good news is we have made progress, through mass action, people have won the right to weekends, fewer hours and other rights. The final battle is one to win control of the workplace itself, a self-managed and owned workplace.
I'd wish i was one of the 1%
Technically that's not Delta. That's run by a third party because it's not cost effective for Delta to operate small jets.
Only because we easily dismiss the evil perpetuated in the colonies, push those things under the rag, and revise history to rewrite Hitler as the only evil in the world.

It's understandable to some degree. After all, Churchill and colonialists just enslaved and killed inferior third world peoples (who cares about them), while Nazi Germany occupied and killed westerners...
Why not The Princeton Companion to Mathematics?

You can ignore any villainy by this formula. "All leaders are villains, so I'm turning my attention elsewhere." As Edmund Burke or someone said, "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."

Also, it relies on equating hard moral choices with villainy. A hard moral choice is making citizen A hungrier so citizen B doesn't starve. Villainy is robbing citizen A to enrich citizen B because you like B more.

Bill Zeller talks about difficulty overcoming early childhood trauma in his last words. He perhaps could have benefited from the techniques described in this book:
"The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma"
by Bessel A. van der Kolk
https://www.amazon.com/Body-Keeps-Score-Healing-Trauma/dp/01...
"Trauma is a fact of life. Veterans and their families deal with the painful aftermath of combat; one in five Americans has been molested; one in four grew up with alcoholics; one in three couples have engaged in physical violence. Such experiences inevitably leave traces on minds, emotions, and even on biology. Sadly, trauma sufferers frequently pass on their stress to their partners and children. Renowned trauma expert Bessel van der Kolk has spent over three decades working with survivors. In The Body Keeps the Score, he transforms our understanding of traumatic stress, revealing how it literally rearranges the brain’s wiring—specifically areas dedicated to pleasure, engagement, control, and trust. He shows how these areas can be reactivated through innovative treatments including neurofeedback, mindfulness techniques, play, yoga, and other therapies. Based on Dr. van der Kolk’s own research and that of other leading specialists, The Body Keeps the Score offers proven alternatives to drugs and talk therapy—and a way to reclaim lives."
It's an interesting hypothesis. Isolationism was a popular position in America before Pearl Harbor, to the extent that in his 1940 campaign FDR promised he wouldn't enter into a foreign war if he was reelected. And true to his word, after he was reelected America did not declare war on Germany despite many in the press demanding it. Eventually, after Pearl Harbor, it was Germany who declared war on America, not the other way around. After that isolationists in America were quickly silenced. To these isolationists, America declaring war on Germany was one thing but Germany declaring war on America was quite another.

Prominent isolationist Charles Lindbergh even sought to sign up for the USAAF in the aftermath of Pearl Harbor. His request was denied by the White House, but he nevertheless helped train American pilots and even flew combat missions as a civilian (which is a bit strange.) It's a very interesting corner of history.

What bothers me about these posts is that it seems to diminish any sense of personal responsibility for one's own happiness. Stop acting defeated and invest in other areas of your life where you can be more fulfilled. It may require changing jobs but it's better than slowly pissing your life away.
What is the use case for Cygwin vs. WSL at this point?
> So we chose to focus on a simple measure of tax burden: national-level income taxes plus mandatory social-insurance contributions as a percentage of gross income

I am not an American, nor that knowledgeable about their tax system, but my impression is that their system has a lot of layers (like state/county/local), which might make it unfair just to compare national level taxes.
I imagine it's making use of VolFs.

> Size of company — does it matter if the company engaging with a random tweet is big or small?

I think it can go both ways - if it's a small company, I'm left wondering why are they spending (presumably) meagre resources watching Twitter so closely, but a large company clearly has money to spend (obviously this is a massive generalisation). But on the other hand, outreach from a small company feels more genuine, whereas from a larger company it just feels like they had a marketing team/money to throw at it.

> Is it OK for a company’s twitter account to “like”...

No - it's the same as negative ads-it leaves a poor taste in my mouth.
Many of them do. Certainly not all.

There is also a certain level of knowing that you are privileged without understanding what exactly that means in how your life is different from people who are less fortunate.

I'm sure I'm guilty of that more often than I'd like to admit.
Haha. I totally agree. As a shareholder, I almost feel like an activist campaign is needed. Sure, Verily and Waymo are interesting moonshots, but then the rollout of Youtube Plus or Premium seems like the most mismanaged rollout of a big tech company outside of the Amazon phone. Why is Google bothering with domain registry is a good question. Google code probably could have been what GitHub had it not been abandoned is another example of mismanaging product or service vision.
Thanks. I'd call that progress. (Wasn't aware of this 'industry standard audio repair tool'. From WPedia, looks like that just arrived last Sept.)

I have a hard time understanding the future macro-economy of the U.S. Where does the money come from and where does it go? We've all seen towns and cities decimated when the factories close or shrink because the thing that's buying raw materials, adding value, and selling it for a profit to generate revenue which is used to pay its workers, taxes, etc. is no longer there. A whole generation or two then moved to becoming simply middle-men, where goods were made somewhere else, marked up to pay rent and employees, and then sold. Now that model is going away as markets become more efficient and Walmart, Dollar General and Amazon (my employer for transparency, though I don't work for the store side) cut out the middle man. Where do 245 million American adults go next to make a living? When robots are driving all the trucks, picking all the fruit, and making most of the goods (all will come to pass within the next 50-100 years), and stores become more about shipping than shopping, where do people work?
Most TLDs allow registration lengths up to 10 years. And registrars will happily sell you registration for 10 years. Buy the domain, then immediately renew it for 9 years. I suspect the reason they don't offer a choice of registration years in the initial checkout flow is to reduce purchasing friction -- they don't want you to have to make another choice and then potentially back out of the sale. It's the same reason e-commerce sites will ask you for as little information as they can get away with when checking out your cart; for digital sales many retailers just do zip code instead of full address since they're not shipping anything.

As for longer registration periods than that, I suspect it's the same reason you can't, e.g., call up your cable company and try to pre-pay 50 years of service. They have no idea what things will be like that far down the road, and they don't want to have such longstanding obligations weighing on them.

It comes down to business decisions, not technical issues; technically speaking the spec allows for up to a 99 year registration period, though I'm not aware of any TLDs that support that. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5731#section-2.5
My impression is that the author needs to take entrepreneurship more seriously instead of ranting about changing the universe to fit its current comfort zone.
I'd prohibit interaction aside from clicking on links to get to the next page. As for animation, only embedded videos.

If we allow all those, it's just the modern web again.
I like that quote myself, but one thing I don't understand is - are the amplitudes always of a magnitude 1? Because if qbits are really always the same magnitude, why represent them as two-dimensional? Wouldn't the math be easier if we converted it to polar form and just had one measurement per superposition?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm not formally trained in any of this stuff...
Impressive. After 25 questions it identified the city I was born in and where I spent the first eighteen years of my life. Despite having lived elsewhere for over thirty years I obviously still have some of the accent I grew up with.

I was also surprised to see this in a US-based site.
yes this can classify as a hobby device but there will be threshold that will attract ITAR abd DHS
In that sense, it would be true for gopher as well.

But the article is clearly describing javascript, analytics and tracking within HTML, with the solution being Gopher's "featurelessness." But it's possible to build an HTML page without analytics and tracking, or even with non-malicious javascript, so the premise that the only way to escape that is to leave the web entirely for simpler and more restrictive pastures is untrue.

Not that the point needs to be belabored but it's worth pointing out that the article opens with a patent falsehood.
