Hi Scott,

Thanks for reaching out, and sorry for the trouble!

GitHub Pages doesn't currently have a verification process when configuring a new custom domain. We chose this design due to its low friction, but unfortunately it also means that any GitHub user can claim any custom domain, so long as it isn't already in use on another repository.

When you downgraded your account to GitHub Free, GitHub Pages for your private repository was disabled, and this released your custom domain for potential use by other GitHub users. While the risk of another user accidentally claiming your specific custom domain is low, we've experienced trouble lately with opportunistic ne'er-do-wells strategically claiming custom domains they find to be available.

Our engineering team is currently investigating potential improvements to prevent this in future. In the meantime, we're taking the precaution of performing manual verification in any cases such as yours. A quick way we can verify your ownership of the domain would be for you to add a TXT record to your domain's DNS configuration.

When you create the TXT record, please include the following value:...

and from there gave me a value to put in my DNS to verify ownership.

Not a great experience today but at least they responded and are working to remedy the situation (which I still believe was a huge ball drop on their part in terms of both communication and implementation).
Defaults matter. That's what 99.9% will use. Well played, CF
> This assumes that you know what "basic dignity" means.

It does indeed. And I do, indeed: basic dignity entails treating a person as an end in themselves, and never merely as a means.

> All problems in ethics are hard problems.

I don't think this is true. It's not particularly hard for me to answer that skinning cats alive for pleasure, pointlessly hurting other human beings, and irrationally loathing oneself are all obvious moral wrongs, in the sense we would not be willing to accept any moral system that permits them (much less encourages them).

As you mentioned in your parent comment, an ethics board should have a point. In order to have a point, we need to admit of at least some ethical baseline[1]. If not, we'll continue the most pointless ethical pursuit of all: re-litigating arguments that reduce to the ones we give philosophy undergraduates for practice. We have bigger fish to fry.

[1]: Even, as I have said, if that ethical baseline adheres to no particular moral system.
This is exactly how African game reserves work. It’s a fantastic system which provides life changing income to the locals, ensures a large thriving population of animals through conservation funding, cuts down on poaching, and lets trophy hunters partake in their sport legally and ethically. Yet Western animal rights activists lose their minds when Cecil the Lion is killed because they grew up watching Disney movies and have no conception of reality when it comes to conservation. In a perfect world of course we would want to provide funds to protect these animals without the need for killing. But the simple fact is that without managing them like a natural renewable resource akin to forestry, they simply would not exist. The number one way to ensure the survival of an animal species is to make its’ existence financially viable.

I'd rather be in the theatre, with a giant screen. Sharing in the appreciation with all the other people there when there's a particularly poignant line, or moment.

Often, it's only slightly better than a home theatre, but I don't want a giant screen I don't use 999% of the time taking up a large part of the wall.

And very rarely, you'll have spectacular moments, where the entire audience shares in a powerful emotion, moments you'll remember for the rest of your life. That you won't get at home.

And so we all have different preferences :)
Right I mean not stopping when there's no signal and there are people at the stop waiting to get on.
By that argument, C# is a functional programming language, so is Python, and maybe even C.
I read my grandma’s FaLun Gong book when I was 8. Eye opening that it’s completely bullshit and lies(the founder claimed he is omnipotent and could cure cancer). However China has a large gullible and uneducated population and you can’t imagine the harm such nonsense group could cause. And hell yes they definitively used it to profit. It’s freaking a hoax. It’s not a religion and It has nothing to do with “disagree with authoritarian” at all
I'm not loving the direction of tech regulation in Aus.

While what I'm about to suggest is a bit icky, I really think this is a case where professional lobbying could help. Only companies that work directly in this field understand the difficulty of managing this sort of system.

From varying local laws and customs and unclear definitions it makes it very difficult. (eg. Why is 9/11 video an acceptable broadcast despite the larger death count? The difference seems to be the intent of the person recording the video, but I'm not sure).

This legislation seems like 'someone should DO something' in legal form
Would it also be covered if they didn't fix their infrastructure after they knew it had problems and someone external stole 6500 tax returns? It should.

How did you come to this conclusion? I suppose I can think of a few societies where debate was valued, but it seems like the exception rather than the norm, historically. Acquaintance with the types of abstraction that are often useful for debate also seem to be more prevalent now.
Yeah, I'll take it with a grain of salt but I'll still do more reading on it and maybe bring it up with him to see if his Psychiatrist has ever mentioned anything similar - just to the get thoughts going.

They gave me the heavy anti-psychosis meds too (I can't remember the name) and it did nothing for him either.. But yes, he's taking so much medication I can't imagine trying to map out all the potential side-effects of any combination.

You've tried it personally or you just presume it? I've seen them only in ZOOs, but according to AccuWeather night temperature on Komodo islands right now is just a few degrees below the daily max (27^C at 5am is the min. and maxes at 30^C at 2pm). My leopard gecko is fully active on lower temperatures than that...

Oh yeah, definitely keep an eye on how big practical peltier modules are, so you get a basic gist of how to use these things: https://www.adafruit.com/product/1335

But while most people are talking about Peltier as a cooling module, note that it can be used as a more efficient heater. You can spend 36W of power (12V at 3A), and move maybe 10W. That's a total of 46W of Heat!

In essence: a Peltier is always going to be a more efficient heating device than a standard coil. Heating would be sufficient for tasks like Plant Seed germination or Bread Proofing... seeds / bread want to be around 90F or 32C, so you'd need to create a 110F / 43C source of heat.

Classically, people used light-bulbs to heat dough or seeds for germination, but a Peltier would be easier to control and more efficient.

-----------

Refrigeration is cool (hah, punny), but precise heating also has a lot of good uses... even at the only ~20C or 36F differential where Peltiers are practical. Going +/- 20C or 36F is still a useful trick.
I agree with this completely. But the Heritage Foundation, which Kay Coles James represents, isn't a conservative dissident acting in good faith. It actively misrepresents the scientific consensus, without the evidence or expertise to do so, such as by grossly misstating data related to climate change and clean energy [0] and hosting "experts" on transgenderism who are openly hostile to trans people and who have no background in psychology, biology, or other relevant fields [1].

There's a reason that there are no qualified experts claiming that decarbonization provides "essentially zero environmental benefits" [2], or that the transgender acceptance movement is tantamount to "[changing] the definition of women to include men" [3]. That reason isn't liberal bias - it's scientific consensus.

Again, I completely agree that unsettled scientific matters are best served by a diverse range of experts, and that subjective matters are best addressed based on a wide range of opinions more generally. But organizations like the Heritage Foundation undermine those objectives, as well as their own credibility on more nuanced matters, by feigning expertise and making politically motivated arguments in bad faith.

On the one hand, I like that incentives are aligned between educator and student. On the other hand, if you are smart and self-motivated, paying the max fee of $30k over 2 years is like taking out a 45% interest loan over the $20k prepayment option.
Hunting also occasionally wipes out species or unbalances local ecosystems, which is pretty unfortunate. We need to be absolutely certain we can control for that before letting people just show up with a rifle and have a good time.

"Keep the cash cow alive" is indeed a good incentive but we have many historical examples of businesses valuing short-term income or success over long-term reliability. You need look no further than Facebook Games (where the big players basically destroyed the viability of a genre entirely, and knowingly did so - there are quotes from high-level Zynga leads on this) or the dust bowl to realize how short-sighted people can be.

It would be great if this could be executed in a way that helps the local economy and preserves the ecosystem, though.
Who has experience with “natural language generation” tools?
The incompatibility I mentioned is with Dockerfiles.

You’re right that more flexible patching and optimizing transfers are valuable. But those problems are independent of build frontends: you could solve them once for both buildpacks and Dockerfiles. In fact buildkit is well on its way to doing exactly that.

Basically I would prefer if buildpacks and Dockerfiles could all be built with the same tooling. CNB seems like a wasted opportunity to do that, because it bundles two things that should be orthogonal: a new build format, and a new build implementation. Docker is going in the opposite direction by unbundling the format (Dockerfile) from the implementation (buildkit).
> all sensible moral systems tell us to treat LGBT individuals with basic dignity

100% agreed. But in context, GP said:

> holds abhorrent positions on issues like climate change and LGBTQ rights

and comments of a similar sentiment appear elsewhere. Yet nowhere do I see it specified what she actually said! Even many of the news articles I could find seem to be guilty of this as well. I did find one which links to some Tweets she made (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2019/apr/01/google-ka...).

> .@Heritage’s DACA solution is simple: take care of American dreamers first, build the wall, and implement these 3 basic fixes to current policy.

So... she approves of the border wall. I don't personally agree, but hey.

> The #EqualityAct is anything but equality. This bill would shut down businesses and charities, politicize medicine, endanger parental rights, and open every female bathroom and sports team to biological males. Learn more here:

So she is against the EqualityAct and whatever that entails (I don't know anything about it) on the grounds that she doesn't want people who were once male in a female bathroom. Again I don't agree with her, and there are indeed strong arguments against her position, but I don't buy the argument that such views are abhorrent or entirely unreasonable.

> Today @heritage will critique gender identity @UN_CSW because powerful nations are pressing for the radical redefining of sex. If they can change the definition of women to include men, they can erase efforts to empower women economically, socially, and politically.

Well that's certainly a complicated issue, and one not well suited to a Tweet. But again, agree or disagree with her, I hardly think it's abhorrent or entirely unreasonable.

On the whole I probably wouldn't have selected her myself, but this outrage is all beginning to look rather silly to me. I suspected as much when no one quoted her up front though.
I burned out for the first time when I was 20, it was during my first job as a software developer. After five years of introspection the reasons I burnt out were as follows:

* I was extremely introverted and did not reach out to others. When you're 20 its easy to feel like you're the only one, but the older I get the more I realize the second you reach out you're met with a tidal wave of "Me too" as almost everyone has felt similar but not identical feelings. Family, friends, coworkers, professionals (therapists, doctors, etc). have in my experience never failed to support me the second I reached out to them.

* I allowed my thoughts to turn almost entirely negative/cynical. The mind does this weird thing where you begin to fear what MIGHT happen so much that there is no more room for positive "headspace". When I started noting the good things in my day there was suddenly less space for negative and cynical thoughts and my overall outlook improved noticably.

* I had a false belief in what my life should be. I was 20, I thought I should be partying, dating, getting rich, instantly and all the time. This isn't the way life is, nor is it what life should be. Don't let popular/instagram-culture dictate your reality. Most of life isn't a highlight reel and that is ok because it makes the special moments (like when you DO get to go out with your two friends) all the more significant.

* I wanted to feel good all the time. I thought, gee I feel anxious/depressed all I want is for this to instantly go back to "how it was". Overtime I've come to realize life was never perfect, or devoid of anxiety, or fear. Life just was. You're not meant to feel good all the time and that's ok too.

In conclusion I think you should not quit, because if you hole up and retreat into yourself it can get much worse. Instead start with the common advice: prioritize life-improving habits like better exercise, sleep, diet, and meditation. This is not an absolute cure, and some days you will feel like you cannot do it, but it will strengthen you and help you reach your overall goals. Then move on to different approaches until you find the one that suits you, for me practicing positivity + forcing myself to do productive things EVEN IF IT MAKES ME FEEL BAD has been helping me steadily.

I know you're looking for an instant cure, but there isn't one. You will feel bad at times. You will feel lonely at times. This is the human experience. But do not let these negative feelings stop you from experiencing joy, happiness, glee, serenity, because they surround you everyday - you just have to let them in.

I hope my advice helps. You are not alone. In fact I think you're in the majority. Let's find a way to help each-other. My email is in my profile if you'd like to reach out.
I guess that depends on who is doing the spelling. Seems to me that the 80's spelling of it was "sike". This website seems to agree:

An argument is “a reason or set of reasons given with the aim of persuading others that an action or idea is right or wrong.”.

If you just claim something — like that Pi is 3.14 — without supporting it, it’s not an argument. You are free to assert whatever you want — there is no obligation to offer an argument. It is when you undertake to convince — in any context — that you accept a burden of proof. This is the case in logic, law, public policy...in those areas where we are looking for shared agreement and shared understanding.

We can’t ask that others believe us “just because”.
Source? And why would they decelerate? Extrapolating from your last sentence – fatigue? Would be interesting to compare acceleration at 80m in a 100m sprint vs. a 200m sprint.
I went a decade ago.
You can visit VLA any weekday too.

When I went I could still see some trinitite, the green glass from bomb surface sand melting.

Also not far away is Roswell with a UFO museum. For the most part it is an oil production and immigrant town.

Along the way you pass through Lincoln County where Billy the Kid met his end. There are various legendary events there.

I watch movies at an accelerated speed, usually around 1.5 to 1.7x speed. That means I can easily watch 2 movies in the span of a couple hours. So basically I'm pretty well caught up on all the obviously good movies. I have some trouble finding hidden gems, mainly because netflix/prime video are so horrible at recommendations.

Because of my accelerated watching I'm actually more selective about movies & tv shows especially TV shows, because only the good ones are tolerable when watching episodes back to back.

Anyways 300 movies, 1 per week, 5 years?
Hi! Thanks for the recommendation, I did go with that approach
"Copying" would be the more appropriate verbatim. Stealing implies a piece of property has absconded with hence.
One benefit of all these Low Earth Orbit satellite megaconstellations is they can completely bypass terrestrial internet backbones. Starlink and Telesat LEO in particular. And (in principle) get lower latency to servers on the other side of the planet due to the faster speed of light in vacuum vs glass (and perhaps a more direct route).
> perhaps insurance isn't the best system for healthcare

Certainly insurance tied to your employer is stupid. Someone gets cancer, loses their job due to being temporarily disabled during treatment, loses their insurance with their job? What kind of useless "insurance" stops paying out the moment you get sick?

"voluntary usage of a free service"

Phone company sells my location data.

My purchases are data minded.

"don't provide your data"

How would that work?
It was actually all unit tested - bugs happen though, and that one was a particularly nasty one.

It was patched though and there was no evidence that anyone ever used it.
One of the fascinating parts of VLA is they allocate observing time in 5 minute chunks. When the next time comes, all 27 dishes move in unison to the observing region. Its is like a living creature.
Anyone else wondering about the name? I’m OK with the absence of staging area, but with such a fundamental change why would it still call itself “Git”? A name like (say) Tig would keep the Git reference alive, but make it obvious the two are different.

>Komodo Island Is Closing to Tourists Because People Are Stealing Dragons

No they are not.

Smugglers are smuggling dragons (Well, one case anyway) and Komodo is being shutdown while they rehabilitate their environment.

https://travel.tempo.co/read/1190380/wisata-pulau-komodo-dit...

Sure the article might be technically correct, but it's very misleading.

I'd also like a bipartisan look at whether breeding native animals for sale increases smuggling or not.

It seems like one of the many BS tales people tell that has no actual proof but we all base policy on it.
That was... impressive. Those dragons really are impressive killing and eating machines, and people who want to own one are out of their tiny minds.

It may be used in a pre-loading technique but I doubt it generally is and JS could be used just as effectively.

As a maker of a popular Safari ad and content blocker, I was looking to implement a quick fix rule that would strip ping attributes from 'a' elements.

Unfortunately the Safari content blocking rule syntax is not sophisticated enough to allow stripping of attributes from a HTML element. The best that I could do with the current syntax would be to hide all links that include ping attributes.

This technique would stop tracking but it would also stop users from being able to click such links!

A bit of a difficult usability choice – would users prefer functional links that are tracked and breach their privacy or broken links that don't track them?
Thanks for the feedback! Will modify and enlarge the font a little bit.

Given China's preponderance to mass surveillance and Huawei's obvious ties to the state, it's probably smart to take a critical look at anything they write. Willful ignorance and incompetence or cleverly crafted vuln with plausible deniability?

It’s not just the faster speed in vacuum vs glass, but the route can be a lot more direct.

An undersea cable will go through (or around) all kinds of trenches or peaks because the sea bed isn’t flat. And it needs to have some stress relief imperfect routing to handle shifting.
