That's clearly against the spirit of free speech.
At that point, what's stopping the government from relying on corporations to perform censorship for them in exchange for say, tax benefits and just going off of this plausible deniability of "oh, but we the government didn't do it! Go blame that corporation!".
I suspect if water and electricity services weren't public utilities, you'd argue that they too can take away service from whoever they want simply because of their unrelated views.
I'm guessing you also think it's okay when banks and transaction processors can interfere in the unrelated business of their clients, relying on their large market share to coerce their clients into dumping certain users. There's absolutely nothing authoritarian about that!
Seriously, this naive approach to things is going to ruin this country. The road to hell is truly paved by good intentions.
Nope, just checked my keyboard shortcuts and it's not listed.
Did anyone investigate if these traits differed from other regions in japan, italy, costa rica and greece? In particular back in 2005?
- Handshake TLDs need to be renewed every two years or the names go back up for auction. Renewals must include a recent block hash to prove that the name owner is still active and has _recently_ signed the renewal transaction.

- Yes, names are rolled out over 52 weeks based on the hash of the name (modulo 52), which was designed to prevent squatting. The auction & renewals processes should help as well.

- Yes, Handshake uses proof-of-work. It's a different algorithm (Blake2b keyed with KMAC256) than Bitcoin but still essentially relies on energy consumption for security.

- I'm not aware of any other major integrations. But it is easy for users to run their OWN local light client and use it as the DNS resolver for their OS: https://github.com/handshake-org/hnsd
I did that a few years ago, although it used a Kinect: https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/b07f/4732e5d631cf182a59b1f2... . It works with gestures, without a projected keyboard and has some audio and visual feedback on screen.
I have always been worried about Google Voice completely shutting down. I use it a lot. Is there an alternative to it? At this point, I am willing to pay a couple of dollars a month for the service.

Things that I like:

1. Secondary phone number

2. SMS to email

3. Transcripts to email

4. Relatively cheap international calls

Although they haven't shut down the above four features, I am concerned about the future of this product.
Well...all is fair in love and war I guess, for years now people have been accusing him of colluding with the Russians...and without evidence.
I had to read The Bluest Eye in college. That is one book I'll never read again, and that's because it's so brutally honest about the characters' experiences. It's too real.

Great book. Highly recommended. I'm afraid to read any more of her books, but I probably should.

It contrasts with The Awakening, also required reading. It's like the other side of The Bluest Eye. What did Edna Pontellier's awakening cost the black servants who enabled it?
> The DNS ROOT becomes controlled by the people instead of ICANN - it’s the end of ceased and censored domains.

Good luck with that. If there is no way to have a US court take ownership of a domain (or force someone to handover a bad faith registration), someone will either end up in jail for contempt, or it will just be banned.

> Additionally, HNS also fixes the problems the CA system has today. CAs can generate certificates for any domain - even if the domain owner didn’t request it. This has led to countless occurrences of abuse.

It fixes the non EV cert situation (kind of - CAA records also help this, and work on the standard internet), but doesn't fix EV certs (i.e. amzon.tld is actually Amazon LLC and not Scammers R Us Ltd.)

It also ignores the reality of most major companies in the world MITM'ing all outbound traffic from offices to ensure sensitive content is not exfilled from the company - there is 0 chance of them allowing traffic out that they could not MITM.

It's 50% magic, and 50% actually caring about the product. PC laptops are a race to the bottom because the only way they can sell laptops are by advertising their specs on Best Buy counters or Amazon pages. Review that average consumers bother to read rarely rate laptops on how enjoyable they are to use. Most customers (in my experience) will have a few key metrics they want (generally battery life, web browsing performance, and storage). Everything else, from quality to screen to input devices, are effectively cost centers to the manufacturer. Dell XPS and Surface are getting there
on trackpads, but they still haven't put forward the full effort for it.
When the grandmother of, let’s say a friend, passed away at 96, I was surprised to note the local newspaper mention her age as 106, no doubt due to the political influence of said friend’s relatives. I didn’t realise at the time that this is a sort of thing people like to brag about.

They let you get third party cases valued at up to ~$30 for free. This wasn’t just for Apple branded cases. In fact, I believe this was before Apple sold first party iPhone cases.
It's still absurd to me.

> There will be some CDNs who do not make the ethical choice. That's a fact of life.

- We want everyone to ban it (because that's the ethical way). But government banning it is not okay.

- Government enforcing the ban is not okay. But CloudFlare enforcing it is okay.

I don't think CloudFlare (or any company) is equipped to make this kind of judgement. The process would be secretive and biased.

Government is much better equipped, and the process would be more open.

That's why I would be more comfortable with government taking the lead on this kind of judgement.

I guess we're just gonna agree to disagree on this one.

> you can host a CDN outside of US jurisdiction if you really want.

I'd say outside of US is really out of the scope here. We don't really have much power to enforce anything outside US.

If we're gonna expand our scope to outside of US, there will many many more horrendous things to discuss. And the discussion would never end.
I was very grateful for any help we received.

But some "help" is so bad it actually makes things worse. Being forced to leave all your possessions in an unsecured area to get a meal at all is an all-too-common practice. But it's not done everywhere and it's not necessary.

It's like the difference between a "bandage solution" and a "bandage" that isn't sterile. The second actively makes you worse off.
Depending how you set your Criteria, certainly Facebook for example will try its darnest not to let you read your messages on mobile browser, but rather force you to download the messenger ️.
I would personally characterize that as slimy and annoying; others may well disagree.
Internets are also full of condemnation for Reddit's app vs website, and their attempt to force the app upon user.
A person in the middle can see the hostname via SNI.

But if you're terminating TLS on behalf of a customer, you can see everything. e.g. https://new.blog.cloudflare.com/terminating-service-for-8cha...

> Among other things, that resulted in us cooperating around monitoring potential hate sites on our network and notifying law enforcement when there was content that contained an indication of potential violence.

That indicates deep inspection of traffic going through CloudFlare.
SIM swap is not scalable. It exists, but the scale of attacks through SIM swap is not even remotely comparable to credential stuffing.
This is talking about recursion in the grammar of the language. I can't think of a common programming language that doesn't have at least some recursive elements. Nested arithmetic operations are a common example.
People without work permits are either dependent on government support or contribute to worsening working conditions for everyone by working illegally. More resources have to be spent to make them productive.

In the best case, taking in random people off the boats is still worse than a capability based immigration policy that encourages people with qualification to immigrate safely.
Or... just informally incentivize employees to do the wrong thing and make sure they have (or refuse to remove availability of) the tools they use to do so.

If yelp has salespeople that can alter reviews or how they show in any way, and those salespeople are incentivized to hit sales numbers, some subset of them will use the tools at their disposal to facilitate their sales.

In this theoretical scenario, is Yelp extorting businesses? No, it's just a few bad employees with an outside influence (and outsize sales numbers likely, too). But if Yelp knows about this and does nothing about it? It's gets more complicated then, and almost impossible to prove.

That's just one possible scenario where Yelp's statement is true, and the people reporting extortion are also being truthful, and depending on the details, Yelp is or isn't complicit in some way. A simple statement from either side doesn't really eliminate myriad possible situations like this, but given the number of reported instances of businesses having problems, I'm not so willing to discount that something is going on.

One issue I imagine is coverage. How do you get decent horizontal resolution on top and on bottom of the screen?

Either you have a mirror that converts your webcam into ultra wide angle so you cover the top edge of the screen (which you pay for by poor resolution on the bottom) or you decide not to cover the whole top area (which is where most window control elements are).

The video action all happens on the lower half of the screen for a reason.

A solution would be some sort of orthographic lense, that basically splits the sensor into multiple distributed lenses to avoid the FOV problems. This however would be not trivial to get right without serious tools.
Why would the Javascript solution be inherently unable to deal with large buckets? Do we have to assume that they're taking some incredibly naive approach and trying to load every single ID into memory at once instead of streaming them out in chunks? It seems like Amazon should be capable of hiring an engineer who knows what they are doing.
Well you don't need to mine the coin to use the DNS system. You can obtain tokens some other way (an exchange) and buy a name on chain.
Some of the practices in the article sound criminal. Grubhub appears to be recording conversations to which they are not a party as far as either the customer or the restaurant knows. The message they play does not sound like a notification that GrubHub is recording the call. I am not a lawyer, but I bet this is an illegal wiretap in at least one state.
Toshiba Introduces New Tiny NVMe SSD Form Factor
There were constantly posts in subs (including defaults) that linked to T_D. Meanwhile, T_D mods did not allow linking to other major subs to prevent brigading. There was no coordination in T_D or any official channels. As an active users in the community I can say I never saw any brigading. I was an active user on Reddit overall before, during, and a bit after T_D. I quit fully a year ago.

tl;dr There was no brigading by T_D, Reddit just didn't like conservatives using their site. Post proof if you have it, otherwise I'll go with my experience with them.
Yelp is terrible to work with. From my personal experience they've crossed over into spam territory. They will call, email, leave lengthy voicemails (with rather extortionist language), non-stop trying to get you to pay for their premium services.

Really slimy. I'm not one to advocate for big G but hoping them or Apple makes them irrelevant.
Good response; I've dwelt on this more.

> I also don't recall them banning businesses on a Sunday afternoon because Jeff Bezos was in a bad mood.

I was trying to be generous by assuming the real reason was economic pressure, but yes the way this is worded makes it sound very unprofessional.

> Lacking integrity is absolutely a problem! This isn't "pedantic", it's a disgrace.

AWS can be the honey badger b/c they can afford to not give a crap. I get the impression Cloudflare doesn't have the same luxury yet. I very much admire Lavabit for folding the company on a moral stance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavabit, but not everyone can afford to send employees packing for their belief. You are correct, he compromised, but let's admit 99% of us have limits.
I come back to Pomodoros. Love them for a week or 2. Got annoyed. And go back to nothing.
Twilio supports porting, but I don't know if GV numbers are special.

My monthly costs range between $1 to $5, but that's because (1) I very rarely call people, and (2) I transition quickly to email/Wire or some other messaging app if I want continued communication.
I guess i'm gonna start planning moving to a no-birth-certificate region. Hoping the somewhat late move will still have a positive effect on my life- and healthspan.

Trump's tweet references Kevin Cernekee, a former Google engineer who claims that Google has an anti-conservative bias and took actions with a goal of influencing the 2016 election.

Whether that's actually true and whether it would be illegal or not is debatable, but the "without evidence" qualifier that Reuters added seems strange.
Google Maps is also shoving Grubhub down our throats. Every time I try to call a restaurant's phone numer in the new Maps app, I end up accidentally opening a Grubhub tab in Chrome.

This is another Handshake protocol FAQ targeted at technical folks https://github.com/handshake-org/handshake-org.github.io/blo... (FYI this is a file currently staged in a pull request to the handshake docs repo on github)
> Hardware is cheap. Programmers are not.

I hate this line of reasoning. Yes it is true, as long as you keep things reasonable. But many use this principle to go beyond the reasonable.

Slack probably has cost much more in electricity alone than it would have taken to build a more efficient client.
It's not life-threatening, so you're going to have to wait for people with life-threatening issues to get treated first.

Why is this so hard to understand? This is how it works when "throw more money at the problem" isn't an option.
Characteristics of Ideal Product Manager
seems obvious to me
A touch screen is definitely a more approachable method to interact with computers for people who are not as tech literate. My grandma had a computer for years and only kind of used it. Then she got an ipad from a relative and she uses everyday, from casting netflix to her chromecast to reading ebooks she rented from the library.

I may not prefer touch screens but they can be a complete game changer for some users.
How many artefacts that show imagination and will survive >70k years have you made lately?

Agreed.

I just tend to not make a clear distinction between health and mental health. I have something of a tendency to lump them together.
Not paying a dividend in favour of being a growth stock is an old play... Microsoft famously took 28 years to begin paying a dividend (2003).
I wouldn't - it means that I am reliant on a blockchain transaction clearing, and as the chain gets bigger, that time has potential to increase. etherium was really quick and cheap when it launched, and it is not now ...
This article is spot on. Unfortunately the Health Insurance industry is extremely powerful--the NRA have nothing on them. Real change in our health care system requires destroying these companies.
In China it is more on par with TGIF and such chain restaurants.
They may have had other reasons for being highly regarded, or feared.

Non recursive language does not allow you to give commands more complicated than "you do this", for instance saying "tell X to do this thing at this time in this location" is impossible without recursion. You might be able to get as far as "tell x to do this" since you are essentially just saying "repeat these words to X" but you have no way of providing context such as the time or circumstances when X should be told or when X should be told to perform the action. All organization and command would have to be done spur of the moment. There would be no possibility of planning in advance or communicating abstract concepts and thoughts to others.

Even a small group of people with this ability facing another group without it would have an overwhelming advantage, they could deceive, plot revenge, strategize, distract, and confound their opponents with their seemingly magical ability to know what members of their own group were to do and say before they did it. They could conceptualize solutions to problems that the others could not even begin to imagine. They could invent new objects in their mind and then execute those plans or tell others about them. They could create new words and concepts in language through combination and juxtaposition. They would quite literally be super-human, every one of them a Napoleon and an Einstein and a Da Vinci and a Shakespeare at once.
No. I believe every page defaults to the same sort.
Regarding France, I though our gov publicly supported the UN-recognized government, with the French equivalent of 'thoughts and prayers' and not much more. But from reading the news, it seems it's a little more complicated.
Not really, the DNS data is stored in a new data structure called an "Urkel Tree" that offers small proofs and fast lookup times. Full nodes (that archive and process the entire blockchain) can serve these proofs to light clients that use the data to recursively resolve DNS.

The US is approx 73% white. All other factors being equal, I'd expect roughly 70% of the shooters to be white people. 64 a lot of shootings, but in context it's not surprising.

Black folks are around 12-14%, concentrated mostly in the south or big cities. 19% is a little high but still within a roughly corresponding population size.

The Latino population is roughly 16%, estimated to be 30% by around 2050. The real question is why the Latinos have less shootings, proportionally, than the other groups; my best guess is something loosely related to the "Hispanic Paradox" which is basically that Hispanic populations do better in terms of health outcomes and other health-related metrics than other poor, non-white Minorities: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hispanic_paradox

I agree entirely on addressing mental healthcare and gun control, but sadly neither of those is going to be possible for a while. This is an "easy" thing to do for now, like low hanging fruit, and it's hard to expect people not to go for it when it involves such tragedies.

It's easier to manipulate people into this than it is to get them out because making up facts is easier than correcting them. Look at how many people still believe the moon landing didn't happen. It's literally one of the easiest conspiracy theories to debunk. Debunking the flat Earth idea is also easy, but at least some of it requires a bit of math and logical thinking.

The racist ideas about crime in the US, rapes in Sweden/Europe, and immigration are harder to debunk. Not because I can link an article that debunks them, but because it's an entire cemented world view that keeps them from even looking at the article in the first place. My perspective on this is that a person with this world view has to spend time with the people of the race that they're against. And that you can't really do on an image forum.

To your other post, yes, I do concede that it has gotten better in a lot of ways. But it's my opinion that arguments aren't what made things better.
Did Cernekee say that Google tried to undermine Trump? I'm only familiar with him with regards to his talks on the internal work culture.

When you're buying a Synology you're not just buying hardware but also a pretty dang solid software suite. I've used several NAS products along with FreeNAS, Windows File Services, and plain old Samba. Synology has always been just about the easiest to use with excellent mobile and web apps for accessing your files on the go. It all depends on what you're really wanting out of your NAS.
Apple sells $299 non-refurb phones, which is pretty close to that price point. Getting down to $250 probably isn't hard with various discounts offered by carriers.
1) Under EU law, if they had been using boats, they would have had a legal duty to save drowning migrants. This is why they switched to drones--no legal duty.

3) This actually depends on where you are. In the US in most states, your only duty is to call 911 so that she can be attended to by professionals. In 3 states, the duty extends to actually rendering aid to the best of your abilities. Outside of the US, Australia, and the UK--which all have "Good Samaritan laws", I'm not sure many other countries have laws protecting "rescuers", and correspondingly no duty to "rescue" a person in need of aid.

That last bit is correct. There's no affirmative duty to checkup on someone else unless you have a legal duty to do so, such as if you are a paid caretaker.
Entities that dispute claims can make the system more efficient. Insurance can serve a useful role.

What went wrong in the American healthcare system is collusion and price fixing.
Agreed, 1 out of 3000 is horrible. To be a viable business delivery drones will have to have a safety record at least reasonably close to that of conventional road delivery. I would hope regulators would demand this but I'm sure that insurance providers will. Conventional road delivery services have to carry insurance and the cost of that is related to how often they get into accidents and how severe they are. If delivery drones cause more property damage and injury then their insurance costs will be higher.
