Hi Doreen.

Good points and I do agree. I honestly think we're arguing from the same side. One of the points the case study makes is to not overthink and think about "marketing".

To quote the last line of the case study: "He isn't a marketer on Hacker News, he's a Hacker News user on Hacker News."

Your child is probably realistically safer on a train than in your car. Deaths due to traffic accidents per year are much, _much_ greater than deaths on trains through all causes, per passenger km. Of course, people aren't great at assessing risk.

Try to use zram memory compression with zstd compression algorithm if your kernel supports it or at least with lz4hc. I use this setup to compile Chromium and run few memory-hungry processes and the system is responsive during compilation. Here is free -h output:

Sure, this doesn't work everywhere. But think of Los Angeles. Very high population density, apart from a few hills it's mostly flat and the climate is nice. To get to any place 1 mile away I'd have to go by car. Often there is congestion and I have to wait in traffic. Plus, there is no direct route to the place so have to go a huge detour - perhaps even shortly on a highway.
This could be so much easier and healthier by bike - if the city was built for this.

Bottom-line: some cities can never be be great for bikes. But most can but just aren't.

Apple Card Starts Rolling Out Today

The Google and Facebook stalking concerns me way more than any PIN leakage to be honest (and I'm wondering why they need both Google and Facebook Analytics?).

The leaked PINs were "leaked" to employees (and even then there's no evidence they were misused) and I expect them to be able to do damage even without those PINs if they wanted to, so to me it's not that big of a deal. The risk here could be if you reused the PIN on other cards.

I just did a quick vote with my coworkers who travel by S-Bahn/train every day: Out of all their trips they take one got cancelled or was late this and last week. That's for ten people and using it every day.

I have the feeling you almost never use S-Bahn and think because you had bad luck with the few trips you do all of S-Bahn must always be late/broken.

> have no website experience or idea what I need to do next

Here are some ideas:

- Often the company where you bought the domain will also offer email and website hosting. That would be the simplest way to start using the new domain. Otherwise, find a company that provides those two services together.

- Create a file called index.html with the text "hi!". Depending on the web host, it may be possible to do that with a web interface. Otherwise, learn how to edit files on your site using FTP, file transfer protocol.

- Learn HTML and CSS by playing around with that one file. If you find that you enjoy it, well, you'll never stop learning - and who knows where the road might go!
Email is one of the few communication technologies we use these days that wasn’t a mistake.
It didn't ignore it - we had lots and lots of long discussions about it, and the precursor - Nameplanet - was founded exactly because the alternative was worse; some of the most popular last names are shared by many million people, and a single person per TLD was able to make use of it. By sharing the second level, magnitudes more people would potentially be able to share it.

My last name is extremely rare, but it's still ~400-500 people that share my last name; enough to exhaust all current tlds.

When we founded Nameplanet, we did an extensive exercise to model it, and we bought ~60,000 domain names to maximize coverage of popular last names, and for very popular last names that obviously gave better coverage than .name, but in terms of first name / last name combinations it was better.

Even for people facing collisions, it still meant much simpler addresses a lot of the time.

Your objection is actually largely the opposite of the bigger problem in adoption: The number of people who want their name as their address is much smaller than we thought.
15% is still a lot more than in many other countries. Checks are certainly on the way out, but in rural southern France, there are still places where you can pay with check but not with pin card.
As someone who has been a commuter on public transportation in Dublin, London, and New York I can attest that time is not the only measurement.

For many of us it’s a quiet time or when we read a book, crossword, game, or catchup on news before (and after) work.

Even if driving were a bit faster you can’t do that at the same time.

(My current commute is 25 min and I think it’s too short)
Computer Stupidities (2013)
Most countries require a form of voter ID.
This is why the US is a constitutional republic designed with a lower house that was elected by and represented the interests of the people of the several states and a senate that was appointed by the legislatures of the several states and represented their interests.

The drafters of the constitution did not want the citizens of the country to have up and down votes about specific policy. Add to that the limited spread of information due to lacking infrastructure (and, well, a man on a horse on a several day's ride being the fastest way to carry news), and the populace would be too ill informed to be able to make a decision based on current facts. This is also why the US does not elect presidents based on popular vote and uses electors are representatives for the local voters.
All things being equal I'd rather take the train - you can read, work, watch TV

The main benefit of driving is not having to wait for a specific train.

From where I live in south cheshire, it's quicker to get the train into Manchester than drive (although quicker to drive to Stoke than train). That's with a 0930 arrival in Picadilly Gardens.

Same to get to Cardiff, Birmingham and certainly London (2h15 to Euston, vs 2h40 to the M25 with no traffic)

If I had to be in Picadilly Gardens for 0900 though it would be faster to drive thanks to the train times.
I really doubt that the US can say it got the deal of the century if China buys large quantities american beef or soybean. What everyone wants is open markets. No dumping sponsored by chinese government, enforcement of IP protection laws and many other things would ideally be part of the deal but I believe the market access is the primary issue and a deal could be stroke with that alone. The demand to make large purchase was to stop further tariffs and I'm not surprised China didn't fell for it.

You could reject some very good free apps then. But I kinda agree with you. It's partly the phenomenon of attaching little value to something one gets for cheap/free. And conversely, people can bend over backwards to be impressed by something they pay a lot of money for.

I do this as well but I also try to explain the upside so that they can understand why smokers exists at all.

"When they smoke they feel excited for a short time but after a while, if you do it often enough, you get hooked and then you don't get that excited feeling anymore but you feel sick if you don't do it". Something like that.
Roblox is an umbrella term that covers the programming stuff and the game portal stuff.

It's a game engine that allows people to create games using a visual language builder.

Here's the Roblox quick start: https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/quick-start

It's also a multi-platform portal to games developed by users and small companies.

A user will load roblox, and then select a game to play, and then the roblox backend will find a server with available slots and join the player to that game.

There are a lot of microtransations. These can be used to buy player avatar decoration items such as clothing. They can also be "pay to win" items in games.

There are very many "incremental games", usually called Something-Tycoon. The player hits a button a few times to increment a counter, then uses that counter to buy another button which increments the counter faster. The IAPs in these games are sometimes in the form of pets that multiply the counter-increments.

If you get a chance have a look at something like Bubble Gum Simulator. This combines an incremental game with an irritating parkour, and then a bunch of lootbox mechanics on top.

Firstly, try to find this by searching the roblox website. https://www.roblox.com/games/?Keyword=bubblegum

Most of those are not the game I'm talking about. This is some indication of the piss-poor quality control on Roblox.

This is the game I'm talking about. Here's their store.

https://www.roblox.com/games/2512643572/HUGE-SALE-Bubble-Gum...

If I wanted to buy everything it would cost 3550 robux in the 50% off sale or 7100 robux at the normal price.

In the UK on Xbox One I can buy 400 robux for £4.99, or 4500 robux for £48.99 or 10,000 robux for £99.99.

Here's some gameplay of Bubble Gum Simulator. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-H1eXg9DIs (I haven't watched all of this).

Open Google maps, look for shops around you and check if they have a website. Many probably will have some old, shitty website. Talk to these shops.
What's more, Medicaid costs about as much per American citizen as the NHS costs per British citizen. The only difference is that NHS also covers all those British citizens, whereas Medicare only covers a small group.

So Americans are already paying for socialised health care, they're just not receiving it.
So that begets the question, why do the Fins allow the Russian to use their planes as target practice by keeping silent?
Your estimated costs are pretty average, but I found the €30k figure curious. Used cars are dirt cheap in Germany, and they are often in really good shape and well maintained compared to used cars in other countries.

I occasionally drive a 20 year old Opel that was purchased 7 years ago for €2500. It works great. I ride my bike most of the time, but it's really handy to have a car to haul kids or heavy/bulky stuff.
Yep :) Didn't know it was called that.

As someone who is fully drunk on Monzo kool-aid, well done to them on (a) identifying the problem and (b) immediately telling customers what to do.

Example: I own a ramnode VM, and it lets me do 90% of the studying and hacking i like because the people who make it happen are probably really interested in Linux like me. ramnode gives me space to really, really screw up a lot and learn how to recover or learn how to push forward. I get a good back-door to un-screw whatever it was i thought was a good idea (last week it was dd)

why not listen to the sysadmins and the SRE?
> so how on earth did "The system becomes irrecoverably unresponsive if a single application uses too much RAM" get missed?

I don't know, there are/were several similar issues (very basic situations, frequently encountered by everyone or at least many people) which are/were not fixed for years (we might say decade(s)): that one dealing with memory exhaustion; then right after that, the problem which follows when memory is freed but the system is still unresponsive for several minutes(!); freezing when writing to a USB disk; freezing when something goes wrong on a NFS mount...

I never understood why those common and really important issues were not tackled (or not tackled before many, many years). IMO they were such basic functionalities, which a proper OS is expected to perform reliably as a basis for and before all the rest, it should have been dealt with and granted highest priority.

> You are effectively arguing that ...

I am not arguing that, you are. Please, try not to put words in others' mouths.

I mean, of course according to ISIS ending the lives of "kaffirs" is rightful and correct. There is no question whether they think so or not. Their position on it is clear. But even within this position, it is clear that killing kaffirs is intolerant of their life. Even ISIS would agree. As would I. Where they and I differ is in whether this intolerance is 'right' or 'wrong'.

'Intolerance' does not automatically equate to 'right' or 'wrong'.

The state of Alabama can choose to be both intolerant and be okay with it, even call it 'the right thing'. That does not stop them from being intolerant of women's rights.

Neither 'Right' nor 'wrong' automatically equate to 'intolerant' or 'tolerant'.

> If A stabbing B is a crime and thereby - according to your reasoning - "intolerant"

Again, please, stop putting words in others' mouths. I make no comparison (or "reasoning", as you claim I did) between 'stabbing' and 'tolerance'. I merely point that a subsequent negative action by a victim does not make the concept of the negative action "abstract".
There's no aerospace grade for most of the components.
It's either custom made for the most critical/unique components, hobbyist parts (who else needs 4" propellers), or cots that are designed for other applications.

Pretty much no one besides DJI has the scale for custom made, except on a few select components.
Drones are still in their infancy, those companies are still trying to see if they have a business model and improving/creating technologies.
You can't expect mature processes from this environment.
Nor for a medium or small company. (I say this as someone who tends to take these tests very well, but they’re not that commercially relevant.)

> On a side note, I've never heard anyone argue that ISPs should block content, that seems like a strawman to me, but I guess if you just search hard enough you can find someone on the Internet who argued for that nonsense.

Well, it's been going on for years in the Netherlands, where the Pirate Bay, almost all of its proxies, and a couple of non-TPB torrent sites are being blocked at the ISP level. It used to be a relatively simple to circumvent DNS block (the ISPs didn't really want to, either), but they've gotten better at it and now if it's blocked, the site is either gone, unless a specific proxy for it exist (or you use a VPN).

To tie it back to the US again, the reason this happened is because of a Dutch lobbying group (Brein) that is funded by and works directly for the gigantic US content industry and rightholders (there are maybe a few Dutch artists attached to them , but they are a mere drop in budget).

It's meant as a long term plan to save us when earth goes down for whatever reason, be it a meteorite or a global war, or whatever. With long term I mean 100-2000 years, until you basically could erect a self sufficient martian colony that needs no help from earth.

Climate change on the other hand is mainly a short term threat, i.e. if we can deal with it in 500 years, we can also deal with it in 5000 years.

Good for you! I enjoyed reading about your persistence and eventual triumph, knowing how shady the business of domain squatting is.

> Generally, these auctions will drive up the price by bidding on their own domains to get you to pay more.

This practice feels like a form of fraud, but I guess it's not against any law..?

> I had also initially setup the script to auto-purchase the domain, but that failed due to Namecheap not recognizing the domain availability in time.

Interesting to hear this, as I was curious about using their API to automate domain purchasing as part of a larger web service. I imagine they cache results and refresh periodically, which is good enough for most purposes.
