I simply use plain old dnsmasq running on my router device. Configure DHCP to hand out my gateway IP as the LAN's DNS server. Then configure dnsmasq to point it to the block list:

address=/0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
addn-hosts=/path/to/dns_blocklist

Then, once a week, cron updates the block lists, invoking something like:

wget -qO- "http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.txt" "http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/zero/hosts" "http://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/serverlist.php?hostformat=hosts&showintro=0&startdate[day]=&startdate[month]=&startdate[year]=&mimetype=plaintext&useip=0.0.0.0" | grep -w ^0.0.0.0 | sed $'s/\r$//' | sort -u >> /path/to/dns_blocklist

You can pick your favorite blocklists to be more or less aggressive, and you also don't have to update directly from the Internet if you don't inherently trust those blocklist sources. No web UI or Pi-Hole branding. Been working great for years and years.
Unless I've missed something, Firefox still uses the system resolver. DNS over HTTPS is available but not enabled by default.

Exactly. You can tell how badly the author wants this demographic of people not just to exist, but be some credible existential threat, the evil white man-child alt-righter set out to destroy everyone else.

Part of the job of lawyers is to know the judges they interact with and what sorts of claims they'll take seriously and which ones they'll overrule. That has very little to do with the kind of immutable logic outsiders tend to try to read into the law.
Nothing special. Suburban fill, lots of clay. We have a billion tons of clay all around Denver, and a surprising amount ends up on the surface when neighborhoods are developed. I never paid attention to drainage, but maybe I've just been lucky.
Nightclubs are pretty loud though, and that bass travels a long way and is hard to isolate.

Maybe if the club was in the basement it might work, but I'd love to get some insight from someone who deals with acoustics!

I had a Oukitel 10k the first version: it was good, but the glass really broke so fast and easy which they promised to fix in the second version. So after 2 glass shatters I got the second version: the glass was indeed better but basically everything else was worse. The idea of not making everything smaller but leaving more space for the battery is good imho, but the quality of the phone has to be good and these brands usually are not.
Many places in the US do not offer recycling pickup at all. I live very near a major metro area and the only recycling pickup available for us is cardboard. This is the first place I've ever lived that offers any sort of recycling pickup whatsoever. I've only ever noticed this problem in Southern states, however.

>Of more concern to Tesla investors: What if he knows something they don’t know about the company’s financial future — and is hoping to hang any failure on the nasty, overreaching regulators rather than his own dubious management skills?

That seems very possible.

I think the reality of scaling up Tesla to live up to its valuation might be too daunting for Elon to handle. It might even be impossible. EV sales as a % of total vehicle sales is surprisingly low. If EV's do take off, it's likely to be the established car manufacturers who are good at making cars at scale who eventually capitalize on the opportunity. And the most likely to drive the S-curve adoption.

Being taken out by the SEC would be a way to keep confidence in Elon Musk Inc going which would obviously be beneficial to his other companies. He could even team up with Mark Cuban to rail against them on Twitter.

Hmm I often wonder why California doesn't implement a congestion tax. In Stockholm you need to pay around 4$ if you want to drive on the highway during certain hours into and out of the city.

I can't say if it works to reduce congestion but it does even the field and it certainly made me want to not drive there.
That "safety feature" prevents the client device from negotiating a higher current limit than 100mA. The host controller may generously provide more, but there's no guarantee of this without the data lines.

Agree 100%. I don't use grocery delivery or meal kits and it's not because of cost or food spoilage or inaccurate orders. I don't use them because going to a brick and mortar grocery store is awesome. My kids really love going to the grocery store. They haven't yet been conditioned to believe that they should be embarrassed of or bored by certain activities. For them, it's an exciting opportunity for discovery. They're delighted by new products they haven't seen before.

I can't remember the exact statistics, but the vast majority of people prefer b&m grocery shopping. In many cities and towns across America, the most fun thing you can do each week is to go to the Walmart and shop. It's a social experience. It engages all your senses. It's fun. I believe that's partly why brick and mortar grocery purchases are still around 97% of total grocery sales despite grocery delivery services being available for over two decades.

I imagine at some point in the future, someone clever will figure out a way to replicate the in-store experience online, but there's nothing that's even close right now (sorry AR/VR).
While I do see and, to some extent, feel the need for justice to inflict negative consequences on wrongdoers, my overall preference is for the system to work towards preventing harm to society.

> Some people cannot be reformed. Should they be in jail forever?

With the caveat that it depends on the crime, yes. If someone is shoplifting a candy bar once a month, it's not worth it to lock them up forever. If they're killing someone once a month, then yes. Somewhere in there is a (big) grey area where the cost to society vs their actions have an equal value.

> Many people who commit crime are in fact not criminal at all. Many, many people are 'caught up in the moment' unlikely to do such a thing ever again.

It's not about if they're "criminals" or not. If they cannot control their behavior and are likely to keep losing control (causing damage to society), then they get locked up.

It's worth noting that locking someone up in a place that prevents them from doing damage, but isn't necessarily unpleasant, is reasonable too. Assuming a good mental facility, putting someone in it because they are a danger to society even though they don't want to be... in theory that's how things work now and it's a good one.
It’s taxed slightly more heavily. But trucks cause literally thousands of times more damage than cars.
Because sometimes you only have seconds or milliseconds to decide how best to potentially save your own life and/or the lives of your family.

This sounds like something that web browser UX experts could help to fix.
On my phone I use Firefox and uBlock Origin and I don't install ad funded apps, or any closed source apps I'm not forced to have, so I haven't really felt the need to go that route. The only ad supported app my kids use on their devices is YouTube but, last I checked, Pi-Hole isn't able to block those ads.
The existence of things like nightclubs is a reason there is demand for the housing. A city with only housing is not one that anyone would want to live in.
Stop measuring battery size in amp hours. I have no idea how big this battery is without knowing the voltage. Use watt hours in the title.
Just a note that 'laksa' here means the usual version served in Singapore. As the Wikipedia article [1] notes, there are many variations of laksa served in the region.

Personal story: my father came to visit me here in Singapore, when I was studying at the local university here in the early 1990s. He went to a hawker stall to order laksa for lunch and was surprised to be served by what he called 'curry noodles'. The laksa in our hometown in Malaysia was a completely different version [2].

But in the article LA residents pay increased Uber and Lyft fares. If this policy were in NYC, the gp is suggesting NYC residents get hit with an additional fine that people who drive from out of state would not.
Qualcomm is also fabless and switched from Samsung to tsmc.

It's almost certainly due to Apple wanting flexibility in changing suppliers. Qualcomm was also not going to give them the rf crown jewels either
This will almost certainly never get implemented because the community has a more or less accepted workaround. Run more than 1 pi-hole.

It's a common-ish practice in the community to have a restrictive pi-hole running in your guest/kids network and a more permissive pi-hole running in the trusted/adults network. Pi-holes require so few resources and maintenance that it's not much burden to run more than one.

It would be a pretty large feature to support separate blocklists per IP range.

So yeah, good luck with blocking out low frequencies.
If I'm not mistaken, that will work only for regular old DNS, not DNS over HTTPS (DoH), which, I presume, uses port 443, not 53.

Seems like blocking Firefox and Chrome from usurping your DNS choices is going to be much harder going forward. :(
I’m not talking about proposed congestion pricing (which hasn’t passed in NYC yet AFAIK), I’m talking about a recent fee that only applies to Uber/Lyft-type rides.

If it were a high rise, I don't think it would be a problem. You could do a nightclub on the ground floor, 10 floors of office (which would would be empty when the nightclub is open) and 10 floors of apartments above that.
You’d also want to discourage congestion with use taxes, as another commons tragedy.
I think to have the flexibility to have various topologies of many devices (daisy-chained, etc.) from a single port.

Probably also timing etc. - I would think making it packet based is probably easier to make work over longer cables than raw PCI-e.

The bit I really don’t get is why they keep all the specs secret. What do they think they have to gain? All that it has meant is less adoption...

Exactly. In fact, NYC does have a similar policy (but they delayed implementation so I’m not sure if it’s active yet.)
Same as any other city: zoning. People want to live in cities and local governments won't allow developers to build more housing to accommodate them. The rare scraps of land that are zoned properly for high density are developed into luxury housing.

Katalog-Sync: Reliable Integration of Consul and Kubernetes
I've never actually heard of the salt water test. It makes sense thinking about it. I got a bag of dice from my dad, from his d&d days, from when he was younger than me. There's a huge mix of some really weird dice in there. They're fairly worn, some of the numbers aren't visible any more, and their original quality ranges wildly. I wouldn't mind dropping them all in a bucket of salt water to see now. I've drawn my own conclusions about them over the years of using them, it'd be interesting to see how well they match up.

Also, i wonder how my dad's homemade d20, made out of a double d10(d20 with 0-9 twice, 0's used as 10 and 20) with half the numbers coloured red(11-20 is red), with a pen, would rank up, it was likely just done randomly.
Or when they had mini-PCI/mini-PCIe slots under a cover on the bottom for network cards etc.

As it says in the article, it can also be done with desktops where you can just pop off the case panel and plug a malicious device into the PCIe bus.

I think the biggest issue with Thunderbolt specifically is that it works over the USB-C port that is also used for charging - so you could make a device that looks like a charger but also attacks the device (maybe with a cellular modem in it to exfiltrate data or something!), making it way easier to trick users to plug it in themselves.
As someone doing AR research, I can definitely echo the importance of higher FOV for getting closer to the "holograms." I am currently doing some investigations involving tracked hand-held devices (like smartphones/tablets) with the AR HMD, and I've found that users tend to unnaturally hold the device really far out in an attempt to see any AR content that is placed relative to the tracked object. Hopefully even a modest improvement in FOV can overcome this subconscious tendency and open up a wider range of interactions.

The space your car uses is a resource. The amount of people in the car doesn't affect the amount of space resource you have used. I think a fee should be applied to the space resource you are using regardless of the amount of people in the car. That way if multiple people need to get to the same place its cheaper for them all to use one car but one person can't just get someone else to sit in the car to make it cheaper.
This is a partial transcript of the Q4 2018 earnings call. There is a strong case to be made that the information was not market moving.

Operator

Thank you. Our next question is from Colin Rusch with Oppenheimer.

Colin Rusch

Thanks so much. Can you talk a little bit about the geographic dispersion for the guidance for 2019, where you're expecting the Model 3s to sell through as well as the other models?

Elon Musk

Well, I think we did, actually. Yes, it's clear in our letter.

Deepak Ahuja

We indicated in Q1, we will start delivering Model 3s in Europe and China. And we also shared a chart showing the potential market size for midsized premium sedans in North America, Europe and Asia, suggesting those markets could be even bigger. So I think that gives a good sense of where we'll be. And we'll launch the right-hand drive version at some point to go to the other markets.

Elon Musk

Yes. Maybe in the order of 350,000 to 500,000 Model 3s, something like that this year.
No security team can defend against unknown or any degree of unbounded controllers. Everybody has a risk tolerance of some degree.

Moreover, it seems you're stating that "no tolerance" should focus on having no CVEs in container images. Does the CVE database really have that level of authority for people? It seems like the wrong thing to focus on even in these hypothetical no tolerance situations, I'm really not sure what to tell you there.

But "Wagen" does not mean car. It's meaning is closer to "wheeled vehicle that is not a bike". It's a hyponym to both "Auto"/car and "Einkaufswagen"/shopping cart.

The Google Images results for "Wagen"[1] illustrate that "car" is by far not the primary meaning.

True, that does seem like it would work.
Check out Amy Chau's book The Triple Package. Its premise is that 3 cultural factors influence economic outcomes: Superiority Complex, Insecurity, and Impulse Control.
It explains why there are subgroups in the US that do better an the average in terms of income: Chinese, Jewish, Indian, Iranian, Lebanese, Nigerians, Cuban exiles and Mormons.

I think you can boil it down to both IQ and culture as being the main drivers of economic success. Culture can be split further into ethnic cultural modifiers and socio-economic cultural modifiers/multipliers. You can do pretty well if you have positive points in 1 of 3 of these areas. We all start relatively equal but having one of these three modifiers can propel you to the top, with few exceptions.

Elon does a good enough job of discrediting himself.
Your comment is (currently) downvoted, but it's a perfectly reasonable suggestion considering plenty of evidence of entrenched interests doing everything they can to take down Musk, obviously including the massive short position against Tesla, and the oil industry writer for the NY Times intentionally driving in circles in a parking lot to cause the car to run out of battery:

https://www.tesla.com/blog/most-peculiar-test-drive

He's got the military industrial complex against him with SpaceX, and the oil and car industries against him with Tesla. It doesn't get more imposing than that.

No, this doesn't seem right. Musk is clearly burning through the good will he'd built up. There's going to be a limit to how much his aura can shield him, and it seems like he's really pushing to find that limit.
