I am really surprised they did not mention when the Internet community got upset that ISC/BIND monetized their open source server by having a closed mailing list to discuss BIND security holes:

https://old.lwn.net/2001/0208/security.php3

This event made the Internet realize that there was, at the time (early 2001), no viable open source DNS server besides BIND out there:

https://old.lwn.net/2001/0208/

Since then, MaraDNS came out, then NSD and its sister resolver Unbound came out, djbdns finally became open source [1], and Knot DNS came out this decade.

[1] As an aside, I don’t know of any currently maintained djbdns fork. N-DJBDNS has not had a formal release since 2014 ( http://pjp.dgplug.org/ndjbdns/ ), and the maintainer has not closed a bug since 2017 ( https://github.com/pjps/ndjbdns/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclo... ). Perhaps @tptacek is willing to step up to plate and make an actively maintained version of djbdns. But I get the feeling I will end up maintaining both my own MaraDNS and a fork of N-DJBDNS.
Is there any video where the artist talks about the process? I'm really interested in understanding how the artist approached this. Anyways, beautiful work.
I know that HTTP clients in some platforms like .NET will not resend the DNS query until the underlying TCP connection is closed. So if the server is using keep alive an you keep sending requests, you might actually end up using the same IP address for a long time.
When a wast majority thinks in a way against you, fighting them you will inevitably make mistakes and be triggered to do dumb stuff. Crowd think can make people believe that Chinese and Russians are some sort of zombies. If you stay around and show that you are not a zombie to be eliminated, this is already a lot. I know how it sounds, but don't underestimate crowd dynamics.

TSMC to Hire 8000 Engineers for 3nm Research and Development Center
MBA is functionally a useless degree. (My opinion is based on interactions with MBAs over 25 years).

Look at the companies that you admire and that show the ability to innovate... chances are they are run by people with technical backgrounds.

Example: AMD is run by Lisa Su, whose background is in EE. HP was run by MBA holder, Carly Fiorina.
What? No.

Sex is a normal part of life, but even if it wasn't this is a ridiculous analogy.

If I get this vaccine I protect both myself and any future partners I may have. There is no downside (barring potential vaccine side effects).

Your statement is essentially equivalent to:

Buying condoms because you might decide to sleep around (oral or otherwise) is like carrying a weapon because you might decide to get in a fight. Rape exists, but so do murderous assaults. The logic that says you need to use a condom is the same logic that says you need to carry a weapon.

Hopefully it's clear how damaging that thinking can be?

Getting this vaccine is cheap and effective, and in no way similar to carrying a gun.

The worst part, of course, is that you can contract the virus (and the cancer) through kissing! I guess if you make sure you only ever kiss one person, and you know for sure that they have only ever kissed you, and will only ever kiss you in the future, and you and they both have never performed oral sex on anyone, or had sex with anyone else - maybe then you don't need the vaccine.

Deriding the suggestion that we should prevent easily preventable cancer (you call up images of rape and murder!) is way off base.

Canonical Working to Ramp Up Ubuntu Support for the Raspberry Pi 4
This is just so wrong. From a fundamental point of principle Apple's job is to make phones. The government then taxes Apple and decides how to spend that money. This is a direct attack on democracy - Apple has successfully lobbied to remove the taxes that would provide basic provisions like affordable housing and is now stepping in to choose which parts of the state it wants and which bits it doesn't. Yet more power transferred to Apple, and 0 accountability.

Even with short TTLs, I often see Facebook mobile app users lingering for days(!) on the old IP in the logs, long after all other traffic is gone.

I'm not really sure what's up with that, as no-one has ever reported the site not being reachable in the Facebook app after an IP change. Either it does some very aggressive caching, or something is pretending to be the Facebook app.
I clicked on that link expecting just another CSS framework, but this is ridiculously impressive. Hats off to the author.
There's literally only four shows included, so it's barely worth having a category.

>The first one is flattening China with nuclear weapons (conventional war is impossible to win) which is obviously inacceptable, the second one is totally excluding China from any and all international trade.

The world had had more invasions, interventions, toppling of legitimate governments, etc, from the US than from China. And while the US keeps democracy internally (unlike China) they have supported all kinds of dictators abroad.

So there's that.

The mere fact that you were even considering "flattening China with nuclear weapons" to bring democracy (even to discard it) is telling of the US imperial mindset...

And the same is for the interventionist idea of "totally excluding China from any and all international trade".

Yeah, let's risk internal chaos, power struggles, civil war, famines, etc in a sovereign nation like China, because they don't have a system of government we approve of.

As if intervention to "bring democracy" worked so well in Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, and several other places besides, who cares for the million out of their homes, rising fundamentalism, killed, etc, they're not white enough...

When does some countries finally understand the concept of "mind you own effing business"?
The World's Oldest-Known Recipes Decoded
What I'm suggesting is the code in the app doesn't work out how to submit graphics frames and audio so that they arrive at the same time in the browser, but that the app's code tells the browser how to sync up the graphics frames and audio that it receives.

Move responsibility for the syncing to the browser and then the app doesn't need to know anything. In short, I can put it together and send it to you, or I can send you the bits and tell you how they should be put together.

I am storing 3D, 4D, and 5D arrays, and since I am starting a new, multi-year project, I would like to know your take on NetCDF and why would someone consider using it over HDF5 (for instance, long-term support, etc.)
Maybe Russian people should do something about their government then. Alas, it enjoys massive support.

> China is a huge country, and excluding a billion people from your company just because their government does questionable things sounds like a pretty bad idea.

People have to do what the state they live in and belong to orders them to do. That's part of the point of having a state. So if you can't trust a state you can't trust its people either.

Housing is generally expensive everywhere in California. I know the Bay Area is even more expensive still, but pricing is a major concern beyond the local economy.

If their first-time home buyer assistance eliminates all down payments it would be helpful. This is what got me into my house as an owner, but then the total value of my house where I live is the equivalent to half a garage in San Jose.
This is one of the magnetic field effect on radical pairs recombination.

Once you put a magnet near the site of a chemical reaction where radical pairs are formed, the rate of the reaction may be changed, due to the additional energy levels introduced by the spin-magnetic field interaction.

Anyway, in order to have such kind of effects, you need an energy intensive process responsible for the radical pairs creation.
I still find this format useful. Suppose your docstrings are scattered across the code base or some sort of data model, and you need to assemble them into large document. XML-based formats will work reliably. pandoc does decent job of transforming DocBook into all kinds of outputs.

Don’t use Tex if you’re aiming for web formats. There’s technically ways to do it but I’ve never found it effective.

>> Is the money under the mattress doing anything? Technically, no but in another sense what it's doing is allowing Bill to invest in what ever other riskier things he's like to do. If you say well, we should take the money under Bill's mattress he's not using it, it may well be that Bill will just remove money from investments to replenish that money.

Let me put this another way...

Say you own 5 houses. You don't much need any extra income, so you don't waste time Airbnb'ing them or anything.

When you're not using them, they basically just sit unoccupied. These are maybe 5-10 bedroom houses. 1-2 families could live in these, but no -- someone somewhere is homeless while you have abundance that you don't actually need. I mean could you not afford to rend a studio or small apartment if you needed to visit NY or Florida, or Seattle?

The point is that people have more money than they know what to do w/ and also that generational wealth is also a huge issue.

Not saying we take everything but we need trickle down economics failed miserably.
>No, Germany, which also faces massive problems with Chinese buy-outs and industrial spionage.

Well, Germany has gased 6 million people, started two world wars, caused more than 40-50 million deaths, and continues to strong arm EU and have hegemonical aspirations...

Perhaps they too should be cut out of international trade or nuked just to be sure? The allies had the right idea, split them into two countries and make sure to keep their heads down...

Does that sound OK?
Discriminating someone because of their Chinese ethnicity would be hard to justify but what about Chinese citizenship (especially if it's the only one) or ties to China like family living there? Those would make someone vulnerable to pressure by the Chinese government.
I've read on HN that "bad"[0] numbers pop up on Google Maps, though this was in reference of businesses making fake listings to capture customers that look for a service near where they live. Could scammers be doing that too? I imagine "iPhone repair" being something people type into Google Maps.

Netflix also existed in a radically different market and set of competitors with wildly different consumer expectations.

This is a weird comparison. Apple TV+ isn't competing with Netflix day one, it's competing with Netflix today.
Well, I would make a distinction between “removing barriers to entry” and “discarding values in order to appeal to the user/customer.” I see the former as a good thing and the latter as a deeply bad one.

There’s a difference between allowing anyone qualified to attend your institution _and_ restructuring the values of your institution to match the most lucrative market segment. Universities today are multi-billion dollar organizations that functionally treat students like customers. Ergo you have academic values being slowly replaced by “is this valuable in the marketplace?”

Everything is framed in terms of economics because the average person just wants to get a good job. That’s understandable but doesn’t justify eliminating fundamentally important topics like literature or art or philosophy. Thus my decoupling suggestion.

> there’s a bigger story here.

Of course, but I can’t write a thesis on the past two centuries of western civilization in a HN comment.
The article states that a manager at Waffle House starts out at “only” $45K. Most Waffle Houses are in the south. You can do ok making 45K a year.

Yes there were cases of racism at Waffle House and I think they addressed them pretty well on a corporate level. I’m Black and live in a very White part of town. I walk into some Waffle House’s playing country music in the juke box, with pickup trucks plastered with MAGA stickers and have always been treated well. I have found none of the stereo types to be true.
nah, there's no computers or anything in africa :'D
You just described how I bought my last 3 iPhones so I don't really understand your point. If you use a US address its fine.
Agreed; it's unfortunate to see companies considering acting this way. In this case it seems like GitLab are doing this for a single customer, so I'd bet it's caused by a desire to meet sales quotas and/or financial goals, rather than fundamental company strategy or policy.

Using that lens, this is a short-term financially-motivated attempt to change company hiring/access policy, which in turn provides justification for the anti-Western sentiment you mention.

In my opinion this is a restriction that should be the customer's responsibility to enact, if they choose to - which means that GitLab should pause and build access controls which allow the customer to configure (and ideally audit) who at GitLab has access.

What is excellent and commendable is that GitLab is able to have much of this discussion in the open; because at many other organizations, this would all have happened behind closed doors.

They didn't use free trade against you, they used the American corporate greed and bottom line mentality. It was a cooperation. We got plenty of cheap shiny plastic nikanks to keep complient while corporations sold out on local economies.
Now that it is proven to be unsustainable they beat the war drums and want us to fight for them.

This is an old story
> wouldn't be surprised if a lot of Democrats are saying yes to the question about "socialism" really to express their support for Democratic policies that have been smeared as "socialist", rather than anything having to do with central planning.

While most democrats aren't actually supporting socialism, interestingly enough, socialism doesn't necessarily have something to do with social planning either: socialism is about getting rid of capitalism, an economic system where a few people owns the means of production and “steal” the work of the working class (note that this has nothing to do with free market). You can achieve socialism by different mean. The Marxist-Leninist way, with all-powerful state and central planning is one, but the anarchist way with workers self-managing is another. The first kind dominated the 20th century (and they slayed thousands of anarchists in the process) but nowadays most socialists (in the western world at least) belong to the second category. Noam Chomsky is a good example of these people.
How is their action discrimination? That's silly. Obviously it would be discrimination if they wouldn't hire people because they have a specific country of birth but that is not what they are doing.

They are afraid that the governments of China and Russia could easily force people who live in those countries to give up data. That is a valid concern since that is happening in China.

I know how it affects the economic. Just look at where stuff is produced. It's hard to find things that are produced in Europe or the states. You may say that this is a good thing but I disagree, the same thing could easily happen with software and that would be a dark day in my opinion.

I don't care if that would make me "poorer" in the sense that I can have less material goods. It would still be a better world in my view and better for the environment. I rather pay more for something produced in the EU than to have something shipped from China just to save a few bucks.
Really aggressors project and victim blame as standard practice to justify themselves and their travesties. This goes back to Rome's war with Carthage and probably well before then.

Nationalists of all stripes get very angry when you point out their nation's crimes. Poland made outright illegal to point out that there were in fact Polish collaborators in the Holocaust for instance. It is true that the country was overwhelmingly the victim and Nazis were responsible but cutting off this self reflection only looks sinister. When 'face' culture is involved it seems to be further. Numerous sister city relationships were ended unilaterally by Japan for acknowledging the "comfort women" - ironically losing far more face internationally. Add in outright totalitarianism under a dictator and criticism is seen as an outright threat.
Something not mentioned is Cloudflare’s unilateral decision in 2015 to “deprecate” DNS queries of type “ANY”, simply because they thought it would be “too expensive” to follow that part of the DNS standard.

This culminated in RFC 8482, co-authored by Cloudflare, unsurprisingly legitimizing Cloudflare’s position.

Such Genomic data representations are so rich, you can see patterns and tells if a tumor (when applied to cancer) has an unstable genome or a P53 mutation, etc. You would almost run CNN based image analysis on them, if that wasn't so silly (It would be more similar to how us humans view the plots though).

Having an argument for why rather than just being handed a formula helps me. I don’t see why people think this would make it harder.
A failure of both democracy and capitalism.

It's a very dysfunctional society to arrive at such a crisis, only to realise that the state is incapable of solving it, enough that a private corporation feels that it is necessary and appropriate to step in.
The comment above is true of ROS, full stop. Even in C++ without involving Python. Especially if you have any real time requirements. It uses sockets for interprocess communication, which adds massive amounts of overhead. Replacing ROS and using straight function calls sped up a simulation of a system I was running from 10x real time to 1000x, for example. That's fine for certain applications but just didn't work for my particular use case.
I wonder if that money will be purely to pay for lobbyists against NIMBY.
I am sorry that you think like that, but the government is nothing without its people. The moment you start saying there is nothing you can do is the moment you lose. Russian dissidents etc. Chinese middle-class is complacently trading freedom for comfort. American and European middle-class too, for that matter.
The cheaper renewables get, the less important energy efficiency becomes.

Meanwhile, if the build-cost gets low enough then it suddenly becomes worth installing electrolysers for those occasional times when the cost of electricity goes negative and all that matters is throughput.
This is an advance version of CSS. I would like to know you did it.
Last year, I had to call Brother customer support to debug a WiFi issue for my printer. I googled their customer service number and clicked on the first page on the SERP. The page looked legit, and when I called, it was an Indian man who offered support. This wasn’t the first time I called support, and the first time, I was directed to a phone tree. This time, someone picked up directly.

Everything else seemed very normal, until he told me he needed to install 2 programs- 1 was something I had no idea what it was, and the other was a screen sharing + remote login service (I’ve never heard of this software before).

My suspicions were high, so I probed why he needed me to do all this, and he said “because it’s standard service sir. Please let me provide the same.” I noped out of there. Point being: I really wasn’t sure if I was being scammed, but had I not been exposed to various screen sharing software before, I would’ve easily agreed to share my screen in desperation and installed something I’ve never heard of.

Just an anecdotal story of how easy it is to get defrauded off a google search.
"Influence"? Lol :) They want to isolate own people from any information, it's pure dictatorship, not related to anything I enlisted.
I agree – we're seeing a return to noblesse oblige, instead of viable social democracies with taxation that ensures a decent life for every person. We shouldn't feel grateful to philanthropists, whether individuals or corporations, we should expect them to pay their tax.
