Thanks, fixed it I think. I tried to put back the line breaks, but it disconnected it from the original text.
If someone steals your domain registration, they can then change the MX records and start receiving your email. In some scenarios, I think that could be a more serious consequence than the website being down or replaced.

Same reason that deliberately letting domain registration lapse for a domain that was used widely for email is a scary prospect.
Criminals shooting at each other, the politicians here and their PR firms routinely try to reduce the culture of impunity these criminals have flaunting in public their status from the safety of modded bulletproof vehicles and seize them as illegal because they can't ever for some reason just jail the criminal. It's a reached for conspiracy but they have done blackPR like this in the past.
Alpha Centauri Could Have the Closest Earth-Like Planet
But why elected rather than hired? It’s supposed to be a mostly scientific job with no agenda.
It would be glorious if an ethnic Egyptian publicly distributes the Nefertiti scan and solicits a copyright claim. The Neues museum really has it coming. They shouldn’t even have the bust. Their sense of entitlement is shocking.

What bothers me more is the Royal Museum for Central Africa in Belgium. Belgian King Leopold II ravaged modern day DRC and perpetrated a genocide there. Belgium pilfered Congo’s treasure and brutally enslaved its people. Yet, the treasure is still in a Belgian museum, the same museum that used to have a “human zoo,” displaying the conquered people like pets. The museum is reinventing itself, but its mere existence is insulting. They should return the treasure, dedicate most of the museum to Congo Genocide remembrance, and forward all revenues to NGOs and infrastructure projects in the DRC.
“Bringing your whole self to work” is and always has been a privilege extended to those whose whole selves are socially accepted. It’s good that being LGBT is socially accepted at places like Google. But pretending that “bringing your whole self to work” can be a universal rule for everyone is either dishonest or requires the hubris to believe that marginalization no longer exists in any form.

The mask of “professionalism” sucks, but someone will always have to wear it, and perhaps it’s more equitable if it’s worn by all of us and not just some of us.
There is definitely some truth in this. However, what would you proposed to either prevent people from becoming ultra-wealthy or prevent them from having political power?

Commenters have speculated that the domain was seized by law enforcement due to participation in a malware campaign. The domain in question may have been used by malware that was phoning home, perhaps because the Linode server hosting it was compromised. This stems from the fact that the domain's new nameservers are Shadowserver's sinkholes:

Name Server: sc-c.sinkhole.shadowserver.org
Name Server: sc-d.sinkhole.shadowserver.org
Name Server: sc-a.sinkhole.shadowserver.org
Name Server: sc-b.sinkhole.shadowserver.org

Edit: When querying the domain in RiskIQ, one of the Linode IP addresses formerly associated is tagged with `emerging_threats` and `kaspersky`. Other domains/subdomains associated with the same IP address have similar tags.

One such domain is MathB.in, which is a public pastebin. It's conceivable that malware was phoning home by creating pastes on that site.

Susam, I don't have much experience recovering domains in this state, but it's conceivable that Namecheap will be able to put you in contact with someone who can help resolve the matter. However, if there's something like a sealed court order involved, you may find that you're stonewalled at first. I don't know if there's any available recourse for this, especially since this appears to be an international effort.
I don't agree with those statements, I just hear it a fair bit and it irritates me.
3 Kids. 2 paychecks. No home
You can see this kind of behavior with many museums and cultural institutions. For example with the Van Gogh museum in The Netherlands. They warn you explicitly that you may not use images of Van Gogh paintings for commercial purposes or in a size larger than A4. For example when you try to download De aardappeleters [1], you'll meet these two [2][3] documents with terms and conditions.

When I pressed them on this considering the supreme court decision Van Dale/Romme [4] (which is very similar to Bridgeman Art Library v. Corel Corp. [5]), they responded with the following:

"First of all the Supreme Court decision in Van Dale/Romme is not about photographs but about a collection of factual data. In this decision the Supreme Court determined when a work is protected by copyright. In our opinion the photographs that we offer on our website do comply with these criteria. The photographer had to make creative decisions in repect of lighting, illumination time, shutter speed, distance, angle etc."

"Secondly, the photographs are our property. We have invested in the making of these photograhps. Since the photographs are our property, we can decide when and how the photographs are used and by whom. We can set the terms and conditions. If you order photographs from our website, you are bound by our terms and conditions. If your use of the photographs violates these terms and conditions, you will be in breach of contract and we are entitled to take legal action."

"You or your client are free to make products with the paintings of the painter Van Gogh, but if you would choose to do so with our high res photographs and therefore want to profit from our efforts and investments you will have to comply with our terms and conditions. If you do not want to pay the requested compensation for the use of the photographs, we suggest you use some other pictures or photographs."

"Please note that our museum has to be self-sufficient. The exploitation costs of an art institute like the Van Gogh Museum are considerable and all our income is invested in the exploitation of the museum. The compensations we ask for the use of our photographs help us to keep the museum up and running."

They seem to admit that anyone would be free to make (high-resolution) copies of Van Gogh paintings, while at the same time claiming that they own the copyright on the high-resolution images files that they created and sell.

I can't fathom what possible conversion rate that ad would have.

Even assuming the underlying premise is something like "we suspect this is pirated and here's a legitimate option", you're suggesting I leave a task I'm in the middle of... to perform the same task elsewhere?

I could see if they had the set turn on to a Wii-style menu and they had a box that said "Since you enjoyed watching Show XYZ, you may enjoy Service EFG, featuring XYZ and more", that could possibly convert, but the timing there is completely tone-deaf.
I beg to differ on the proposition that you're a crackpot. That seems to me a perfectly mathematical way of thinking.
If you're a crackpot, it's because all mathematicians are.

Anyone who legitimately thinks common core is worse than how math was previously taught does not understand math at all. It is at worst just different with the dream of being better. There is no conspiracy theory about wanting to sell more books or to "separate the masses".

If you actually understand the math picking up the common core methods is minutes of work at worst.
Healthcare providers are unwilling to plug in a thumbdrive from a patient because it could contain malware. Secure online exchange is the only practical approach to health information exchange. Most providers will allow patients to opt out, but this puts your health at risk. Doctors often need to see your historical chart in order to make an accurate diagnosis and prescribe effective treatment. You can't always just redo an exam, test, or imaging study.
What makes you think that this won't be repeated for other domains? The high level leadership at ISOC/ICANN now have the model for exiting into a lucrative future career as an equity partner. The top officials at ICANN are merely paid in the $300K-$600K annual compensation range, surely an insult for the rulers of the Internet...

You wondered how a sixth grader could solve it, I showed you how. Being able to do it using formal methods is good, but my point is that sixth graders are still pretty smart and can use more creative methods which still works very well as I showed.

Also ny solution wasn't brute force or trial and error, there are very few possible sequences of 11 numbers around 201, so you are guaranteed to find the solution quickly.
Elinor Ostrom's Principles for Managing a Commons (2011)
This also applies to law enforcement. Many small towns have elected sheriff’s (or police captains or whatever they call them locally). How is that right? Sure, maybe they have to convince a county DA that there was a crime for actual prosecution, but the number of areas they could abuse their power before (or completely without) charges is insane.

Look at it from the viewpoint of the Andy Griffith show... the circuit judge only shows up every few months. Do you really want to sit in jail until then, or do you want to take the deal/admit your fault/rat someone else out... whether he’s got enough evidence against you or not, you’re still in jail, losing your job, getting your kids taken from you...

I integrated all my 433MHz devices by listening for them on a Sonoff RF Bridge (https://sonoff.tech/product/accessories/433-rf-bridge) which then pushes the signal to MQTT. From there it is easy to pick it up.

Generally speaking the main problem is the RF part (to be able to catch it somewhere, and reuse)

Seems like the most likely case is that law enforcement clawed the domain for suspicious activity.

Which brings up the question, is this problem limited to ccTLDs or TLDs like com, net as well?

Designing and implementing a low latency concurrent garbage collector is actually at least as difficult as writing an optimizing compiler. Many languages today still struggle with concurrency+GC (see e.g. python, ocaml). Good to see this chapter on GC, but I think the subject deserves an entire book!

This is common in CA too, apparently.

When I was getting a divorce, a lawyer I consulted with gave me the background on the judge handling my case. Apparently she was appointed by the governor to appease a particular voting block and as thanks for her activism work for that group. She knew nothing about family law but was given the job regardless. That situation is apparently quite common in family court since there is a high turnover rate. Judges often have to spend months being taught by the lawyers on the cases they're overseeing.

Having your fate in the hands of these folks is absolutely terrifying.
I ditched HA automation as it is very limited if you want something more fancy (or less lines to type). I moved teh AppDaemon (https://appdaemon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) and use HA mostly for managing teh decvices and keepipng state (and MQTT for messaging).

Both. I do this up-and-down selection where I select from above and then from below big chunks of text, and then occasionally (I think when I'm concentrating on a specific sentence) I'll doubleclick a word a bunch to select the word and then the paragraph back and forth.
I'd agree, people do have reasonably open minds here, so long as you discuss with them, not dictate to them. Texans do not take kindly to dictating.
Jumping? I'm not jumping, I'm applying the principle that people who have influence over the application of the law should have some training. If judges need special training, why not legislators? And if both judges and legislators need special training, why not citizens? Note that we already do apply this principle to naturalized citizens! It is only people who acquired their citizenship by birth who never need to show any competence at anything in order to vote.

And note well: I am not advocating literacy tests. I am only pointing out the logical consequences of adopting the principle that judges should have special training.
> Garbage collection is one of those things that tends to scare people

That's exactly why I was excited to write this chapter. They have a reputation for being hard, but the core algorithm is really just a simple graph traversal.
> Over the years, their numbers have included construction workers, insurance agents, pharmacists — even an underwear distributor.

This is ironic for a conservative state because it's indistinguishable to me from Soviet communism. I can't help but think about this scene from Chernobyl (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idb_qsAAe1c) which illustrates the true tragedy of this broken system. Emma Goldman wrote in "My Disillusionment in Russia" (1923):

> Bourgeois dictatorship is replaced by the "dictatorship of the proletariat" — or by that of its "advance guard," the Communist Party. Lenin takes the seat of the Romanovs, the Imperial Cabinet is rechristened Soviet of People's Commissars, Trotsky is appointed Minister of War, and a labourer becomes the Military Governor General of Moscow. That is, in essence, the Bolshevik conception of revolution, as translated into actual practice.
Mike Judge on the Real Silicon Valley
That is only true of living justices. A number of SCOTUS justices in the past had no legal backgrounds whatsoever, with the last such judge serving until 1957.
That everyone would get it was a joke?
> I'm not sure the discussion about white/gray/black objects is strictly necessary for a simplest possible garbage collector

I wondered about that too. If you aren't doing an incremental collector, it's not really necessary. But I think it helps build a visual intuition for the algorithm (and other graph traversals for that matter), so I felt it was worthwhile to put in there.
>City planning here is a joke.

Virtually all city planning is a joke, and even if one can conjure up an example of a currently "well planned" city it may well be a short lived title based on a number of economic and industrial changes in the coming years and decades.

SF is unique in that it is an industrial incubator for the modern tech industry, much as Detroit once was for the auto industry. There's nothing to say that SF couldn't become the next Detroit, save for its significant tourist appeal. In which case it would become more like Venice.

It's not entirely surprising though, and I can say that on intuition alone I've been guilty of just laying the blame at the politicians doorsteps and shaking my fist at the sky while proclaiming "such incompetence!".

The fact is that it's an incredibly difficult thing to get right, is extremely expensive and carries huge risk if one is hoping to get such planning done right in a pro-active manner, than in the reactive manner which we're accustomed to. The potential downsides to getting such an effort wrong are catastrophic.
It would not make any sense to Port Firefox Preview to RPi as the project is built around the Android API and widgets.

That honestly explains a lot about our judicial system.

Even without being bedridden for days after an inpatient procedure, we have an epidemic of frailty among elderly people. This commonly causes serious falls and fractures, and after an incident like that most people fall into a rapid downward spiral. As a matter of public health policy we should be prescribing weight training and higher protein diets for elderly people.
A GCed piece of nontrivial code can also be faster than a malloc/free solution.

The reason being that allocation can be much faster. The GCed code can allocate memory with as much as an increment of a pointer (and that is atomic, so no thread locking needed).

malloc/free always do full function calls, and they might/will descent into dealing with fragmentation (aka finding free space). Likewise, free() isn't free and cross-thread allocation/deallocation can further complicate things.
Judges interpret the law. The law and Constitution are not written in C (and even if they were, we all know that every compiler has "undefined behavior" that may need to be adjudicated) and we occasionally need a court system to resolve disputes and clarify legal ambiguities.

If the affected parties believe a judge made an incorrect decision, there exist procedures for appeal or even revisiting the question in a subsequent case.

If judges in a jurisdiction are elected, it is the responsibility of the electorate to make sure the judges they select are the most qualified (perhaps by studying previous decisions, academic publications, etc). Analogously, if judges are appointed by other elected officials, it is the responsibility of the electorate to select public servants who are good at appointing competent judges.

I’ve often thought it very unfortunate that we leave calculus so late in K-12 education, and for some students never get there at all (at least in my country). I remember spending most of my childhood mystified about what this mysterious “calculus” thing was, and then finally getting around to learning it and saying “oh, it’s just that?”

And then once students are initiated into the (disappointing) mysteries of calculus, what next? They spend the next few years mechanically carrying out analytic differentiations and integrations of a bunch of ever-more-artificial one-dimensional functions. Do you know what the integral of tanh (x + x^x) is? You shouldn’t, because it doesn’t fricking matter! Most of the actually useful integrals that anyone would ever calculate in real life turn out to be only solvable numerically.

In conclusion, put an introduction to the intuitive ideas behind calculus earlier (Year 7), emphasise numerical over analytic solutions, and use the time saved to move on to things like multivariable calculus (and path integrals, which I still don’t understand properly).

Yea, the factory farms are definitely pretty awful.

I’m lucky enough to both cook at home, live in a big city with lots of good butchers, and have the resources to be able to afford to buy organic, pasture raised, and grass fed meats as much as possible.

It’s not always possible to avoid factory farmed meat products, I assume anything I eat out unless the restaurant is very upscale is going to be cheaper cuts, and my parents aren’t rich and don’t buy like that although I’ll try sometimes to grab a turkey for Thanksgiving for instance.

Interestingly, my girlfriend is from India and vegetarian as many Indian people I’ve met seem to be, she didn’t like the Impossible Burger at all, because it was too meat like, which is a bit funny to me.

Lab grown meats are showing promise for the future which is neat.

But yea, life is bloody, violent, and miserable a lot of times. We should be thankful to live in such relatively peaceful times. Seems like there were just millenia’s of near constant region conflicts, famines, plagues, epidemics, religious wars.

It hasn’t all gone away, but maybe we’re closer than we’ve ever been?
