> The PRP has also recommended the introduction of opening up .au to direct, second-level registrations, much like the UK, New Zealand and others have over the last several years.

Is that stating that .au will become available? Ie: hackernews.au, or am I misunderstanding that?

Domain squating hasn’t been such an issue with .com.au primarily due to the requirement to have an ABN, which excludes squating by non-Australian entities (at least makes it harder).
I was a vegetarian for a long time. It started with health concerns and morphed to ethical concerns. I noticed that a lot of people are hostile when you say you are doing it for ethical reasons (e.g. for animal welfare or environmentalism), but are satisfied with the idea that you're doing it for your own health.
Yeah, this paper is amazing; anyone considering using the IOMMU or interested in performance at the PCIe level should read it.

We can also confirm their result about the IOMMU TLB size of only 64 on the CPUs we have here. (Yes, the TLB size is completely undocumented and there are no performance counters...)

The main issue with using Clojure is that you are expected to build everything out yourself. A lot of dependencies tend to stop being maintained after a while. Auth systems etc. are half-baked with 10 different implementations on GitHub. The newer shinier ones lack in features while the more featureful ones are from 3 years ago and have not seen a single update since. Now lisp people like to say "but...but.. backwards compatibility!" Sure that works for a lot of things but it goes out of the window when you need to prototype something quickly and your intern using Django/Rails has already built a MVP while you are still trying to sort out your dependencies story. Now you can always pull in Java libs, but then you will spend the rest of the week writing a wrapper for a very tiny subset of features that only you would use and the next person that comes along will have to do the same thing for the subset of features that they use.

Using Clojure (other Lisps have it way worse than Clojure so they are not even worth mentioning in an enterprise context) is a bit like using an extremely new cutting edge language like Rust or Nim where there's no high quality libraries for anything except the lowest common denominator but without the massive community and support. Yes Node has its issues. But at the end of the day, you still need to get things shipped. Elegant code that would look at home in SICP is useless when money is on the line and you can't ship. Clojure et al. is very much NOT a "Move Fast and Ship" type of language. If it's for a game jam where no one's using Unity and everyone's doing OpenGL or one of those dinky little Lua game dev suites, sure go for it. If it's your company, use Go and get things into production first.

Don't get me wrong, I love Clojure. There are a lot of smart people doing interesting things with it. It's probably the most advanced of all Lisps in terms of beginner-friendly tooling alone (shoutout to the Nightcode and Parinfer authors!) and it's Java interop is tremendously powerful in the right domain. Just that the ecosystem feels at times like Android 1.5 with its terrible fragmentation problems. The main corporate sponsor behind the language gives off apathetic vibes to community needs and the lack of featureful, maintained libraries is covered up under the guise of "Big frameworks bad! Elite programmers build their own!"

Malte here, I developed the bootcode.
While I agree with you, it's about the minimum you can do in C/ASM land before starting up OCaml.
The bootcode just initializes the registers to zero, setups a trap handler and the stack and heap. This is impossible to do from OCaml as it does not allow direct register/memory access as a language feature.

Of course there are. There are registration fees (and not because the act of registration itself is expensive), and in many states vehicle taxes.

In many other countries those are even worse, including added state taxes on fuel, and so on.

My old boss owned a whole bunch of domains. When we switched to a new DNS he had me transfer several hundred of them manually (this was before I learned to code). I have no doubt that his in-laws would suddenly own a bunch of domain names to keep below the 99 domain limit if something like this became popular for other Tlds. Where there’s potential profit to be made people will find a way around them.

I find it interesting that all the single letter domains like www.a.com don’t have some popular site attached to them. Someone completely naive to the internet would think that would be the case, but it’s not. I wonder why that is?

The risk there is that you’ll end up just rolling over every time Russia waves a nuke at you. Something they are very much willing to do.

Shelling Russian troops. As I remember it, that mostly involved Russian tropps, er, on Georgian territory. It was a messy conflict though.

As for Saakashvili, last I checked he wasn’t an American, so what does he have to do with America running anything?

Of course I know the answer. Trying to smear the activities of local citizens, by blaming their activities on foreign powers, is a despicable attempt at de-legitimisation that’s frankly shameful.

Even if I were to let that pass though. Suppose all those Ukrainian citizens out on the streets in the Orange Revolution were all paid US agents. That’s between Ukrain and the US, or between Russia and the US. How does it in any way justify the appalling treatment of ordinary Ukrainians and Georgians by Russia? How can Russia justify waging war against these nations on the basis of the actions of a third party? It makes no sense, of course because it’s a naked attempt to de-legitimise local citizens and change the subject.
Uber is not a business. It's a dumping attack on the service sector.

Putting aside about how good this investment from economic standpoint, I don't feel like investing just to exploit people working in service industry.

I think the general belief was that lyft is a bit less sexually harras-y, a bit less misanthropic business, but since they have basically the same business model as Uber, does that distinction really matters?

It's absolutely correct to say Twitter blamed their issues on Rails. It's less likely to be correct that they wouldn't need a similar major change if they had started with anything else and grew from an MVP to one of the busiest sites in the world. I personally find it doubtful that they couldn't have done it with Rails.
The thing is: that counterweight looks very heavy, but the boxes being carried look fairly light (something that a human could lift). It doesn't really seem like there's any reason they needed to design this robot to have two wheels and a counterweight. As others have said, the counterweight makes the robot more unpredictable and dangerous. What happens when someone steps behind the robot, and the robot needs to swing the counterweight back to keep its balance? Does it hit the person with that massive weight or fall flat?

And the comments here are no better than the usual, with the classic anti cycling tropes on full display:
- Don't pay (road tax)
- Illegitimate road user
- Riding abreast (in my jurisdiction this is legal and in many places it is and in fact encouraged as it makes a group of cyclists easier to pass)
- Stop signs/red lights/don't obey traffic rules (as if cyclists are the only group for which any of this is true)
These people are obviously silly and I have no interest in their antics nor in defending them, but the enjoyment and schadenfreude is just dripping from this story.

Like, if you're not vegan or thinking about it or whatever, why watch these videos, why follow their internecine battles? There isn't anything about that that's specific to vegans, that stuff happens in any subculture of some size.

These people didn't do anything to anyone, they don't have any power. So why should anyone feel happy that they got their "comeuppance" among a small community of people who are not hurting anyone?

Seeing that IPOs are designed to pop, I don’t find it that surprising.

The naive way to look at an IPO that pops the first day of trading is that the investment bankers left a lot of money on the table and the company got screwed. But if an IPO was set at a fair price (the price after the first day of trading), the company might have a hard time generating the pre-IPO demand in the first place for their roadshow. After all, the only reason to subscribe to an IPO and get pre-allocated shares is to make some juicy risk-free returns.

So the company makes the explicit choice to trade off short-term profits for short-term (but hopefully longer) artificially induced demand.

The bankers win by allocating shares to investors they like hoping that the favor will be returned in the form of business in the future (on top of the fat fee they make). The subscribed investors win by the risk-free return. The company wins be inducing demand.

This has been the process and the incentives that have governed IPOs for a long long time. It’s interesting that this process might be supplanted with direct listings or auctions ala Spotify or Google.

I do realise you are just putting a view which you might not share, but still:

The problem with the idea that car drivers pay for the roads out of vehicle tax is flawed, since very often (not sure about the US, but this is true in the UK) the costs of roads are (a) much higher than annual "road tax" receipts, and (b) often met from local taxation or national taxes. So, you get to pay for them even if you are not a primary user.

In addition, when you factor in the health disbenefits (road casualties and air pollution) then motorists don't come anywhere near paying for the damaging effects they create.

I both drive and cycle, btw. You are right that (in many countries) roads are designed primarily for motor vehicles, but that doesn't mean other vehicles can't use them. Carlton Reid's book "Roads Were Not Built for Cars" (http://roadswerenotbuiltforcars.com/) has US and UK perspectives on this. It discusses cycling's origins and I find it interesting that in the 1800s cyclists were often seen as reckless and inconsiderate, and I wonder if this contributes to some kind of "folk memory" to this day, i.e. ideas being passed from one generation to the next without much in the way of critical analysis.

In any case, mistreating someone based on their mode of transport makes about as much sense as doing so for any other arbitrary reason. I really can't understand it on an emotional level.

Anyway, thanks for the insight: it is taken in the spirit it was offered.
There is literally a 150 year history of people (sometimes economists) attacking economist for their supposed market fetishism. Its the same story going around and around in circles.

Economics constantly adjust and some of the critics have been taken into account, others have been rejected.

No matter how many times this happens there is always another newspaper or blog leading the 'these are all fundamentalist' charge, mostly without having a clue about the actual intellectual history of economics or any actually new ideas that have not already been studied for 50-100 years.
I always wanted this. Kudos to the Firefox team.
> Though perhaps what you meant was that you want to be able to tell the OS "yo, here's a bunch of buffers, use these to complete my reads"?

Thank you for clarifying, and yes, that would be the best way to do it I think.

> If a request is slow to be fulfilled won't it hog a buffer, reducing the maximum throughput of the fast requests? Why would this be a performance win?

So someone else here said that with IOCP the kernel doesn't have its own read buffers but writes directly to userspace memory (in cases where this is possible, anyway). So there might be a possiblity for buffer hogging, I don't know. On the other hand, when the request really is slow to be fulfilled, the OS could just call it a partial write and notify the program of a (partial) completion. In which case the buffer is free for other uses again.
> To add to what others said on it: no, you don't. You would if the manufacturers provided full specs, data sheets and CAD drawings of the internals.

Others have mentioned the SSD and VFS cache, however spinning disks in a RAID configuration can easily surpass this in raw sequential read performance.

> As vehicles, they have to stop at stop signs and lights, but feel like quite an appreciable percentage do not.

I guess that this is a problem of how energy conservation works. When a cyclists stops they lose all their gained energy, like any other vehicle. But then, the cyclist needs to put a lot of effort to get again to their original speed. If that stop is in front of a slop the cyclist only option is to get off the bike and walk.

So, maybe it is more a fault on the design of the roads than on the cyclists.

>There really is no acceptable, rational reason for animosity towards cyclists.

No rational reason for drivers in a road predominantly used from big vehicles to not like smaller, hard to see, vehicles with greater flexibility and much more fragile going around them?

The added care you need to have as a car driver, and danger they impose of accident, is not enough?

Especially since most of the time (e.g. in highways, interstates, etc) you get to have the road to just cars and don't have all this?

Fort Collins where I am is the third most "bike friendly" city in the US, there are amble bike lanes and a strong bike culture but its amazing how many of them think the rules of the road don't apply to them, running stop signs, lane changes without hand signals, using the road lane rather than the bike lane. I get very nervous driving around town because you never know if the persons going to follow the rules and stop or just run the stop sign and slam into the side of your car. I'm all for bikes but they need to follow the same rules as the cars if they want to share the space.

I'd like to see these kinds of features upstreamed into TBB, then eventually make their way into mainline Firefox. I know HTTPS Everywhere and NoScript already exist in TBB, I'm trying to think of what other extensions would do well for it...
This seems like an a slightly more complete version of Firefox Profilemaker (https://ffprofile.com/).

I personally use a fairly vanilla Firefox with a few addons and try to keep customization as default as possible. How will further differentiating yourself from the masses (especially since Firefox is already a minority browser) help with privacy, tracking, and fingerprinting? Why not at that point just change your user agent to Chrome/Win7 and run everything in a virtual machine?

edit: To that end, does anyone use browser forks (like Waterfox and Palemoon, or things like unGoogled Chromium) and seriously think they're better than the mainline browser? I see a lot of fair criticism for what Mozilla has done with Firefox (deprecating old extensions, Mr. Robot addons, Cliqz, etc) but it's pretty much the most trustworthy Internet company as far as I'm aware. They seem to genuinely have good will and Open Source at their core, and these forks claiming that Mozilla is this monstrous organization looking to invade your privacy (along the lines of what Google does) seem a little silly to me.
