The real loser in this deal is us. Not only is trust lost (or already has been from other past DNS goings-on), but we, the registrants, end up paying more, financially and otherwise.

Generally speaking, the underpinnings of the Internet (protocols, certain levels of infrastructure) should always and forever be public, not-for-profit, "open-source", and not patentable, in order to protect the integrity of the system. I'm no expert, so maybe a lot of it is this way already, but DNS seems to be a bastion of for-profit greed.

All of this walks hand in hand with Net Neutrality, in my view -- governance to protect what is a fundamental human right, the free (as in freedom, and to some degree, as in beer) flow of information. And in an ideal world, objectively factual information.
But they rarely host the bad shit themselves, so it still is easily blockable.
It’s an activist position. The thesis is the company becomes more valuable if he succeeds in removing or sidelining Dorsey.
What you are saying shows terrible and dangerous ignorance. I really hope you are not a vaccine denier as well. At max you could say his complications were RECOGNIZED as such because he was at the hospital. Otherwise, by laymen, they might have gone undetected.

Forward secrecy only helps you if the server private key is comprised in the future. If it's compromised already, and an active attacker can modify traffic between you and the server, forward secrecy doesn't help.

Ultimately, if an attacker has all your keys and controls all your traffic, there's nothing left that distinguishes the attacker from you. No security is possible in that scenario.
I don't see his actual criticism of Dorsey? Looks more like a political clickbait article without any substance

It looks like a pretty nice outcome for CA, no persons involved are being hit with criminal charges, instead they're limited to just constraints on future actions - additionally CA has filed for bankruptcy and there is no initiative I can see in this order that goes after original investors as having conspired on these charges, so they'll lose their investment but that was probably a write off anyways.
Murder takes physical effort. Stealing something you already have in your posession does not take any extra physical effort. Don’t conflate the two. You may also be completely ignoring some of the work people have done studying self check outs. My understanding is that people who would never think to hide items from an actual checker are much more likely to leave items unscanned. And that many of them justify the behavior in various ways.

I think petty theft is far more instinctive than you may realize. I personally have to fight the urge to steal my daughter’s holloween candy, even though I can easily afford my own, and she would give me some if I just asked. I don’t know where the urge comes from but I know it’s there, and I doubt it’s an uncommon type of urge.

Social interactions can really help to bolster behaviors we prefer in ourselves. I can see them being useful in keeping honest people honest. In the same way a gym buddy makes it harder to skip a workout.
"seem to think"? Management has a duty to make sure by supporting Ops in those efforts and making them run tests to prove it.
There is a difference in degree, though. Unminified JS is usually easier to read than wasm text, in general.

One practical factor: I often debug wasm files by compiling them to JS first.

At least wasm has structured control flow, which helps a lot. I wish wasm had even more readability features, personally.
It's not a dismissal of the field of economics, but of some of the popular businesses and business practices. The science of economics identifies the negative-sum games too. Keywords include, "tragedy of the commons", "externalities". Examples include AirBnB, tobacco companies, consumer IoT, advertising industry.
Those links work with domains or addresses no matter if it's https://yourdomain.com/ or https://[2001::1]/. Google finds those domains through a variety of means (social media, collecting other domains from the sites they index, manually submitted domains, etc). Google also indexes addresses.
Yup looks like I jumped the gun there. I was looking at mobility group opex - 41 billion (150 million subscribers). Assumed rest was content (hbo/warner/turner etc). They have a header called "entertainment group" opex - 36 which I assumed was content. Digging deeper "entertainment group" was actually cable and satellite.

People generally use Emacs with ParEdit or parinfer to handle balancing parenthesis. Instead of working with the code at a textual level, you end up working with it at a structural one.
You're right. I corrected myself with a comment because I cannot edit my original post.

That will teach me to make comments before the caffeine has kicked in.
That soyyo, like the article's author, seemingly does not understand that AMP enables prerendering is simply stating a fact. In soyyo's comment, there is no place where soyyo shows any understanding that this is the thing that AMP was designed to do.

When I continued with my general statement about developers not understanding their platforms, I can see how that can be interpreted as a personal attack, and for that I apologise to soyyo and to the readers of this forum.
It isn't the voltage that improves the time, though, it's the power. So are you saying that wiring in Europe uses the same or better circuit breakers (e.g. 15A or 20A) at the higher voltage, thus providing more power? Or that the wires in European homes are of equivalent gauge to wiring in US homes, but due to the higher voltage, can therefore carry more power?
You're absolutely right and I corrected myself with a comment. I don't know why but I can't delete my original comment nor can I edit it.
Don't recognize the quotes from A. A. Milne's book.

Turn off networking. You can still get your location via GPS, but there is no way to send this back to Apple.

> By enabling Location Services for your devices

You seem to be confusing Location Services with location data. Location Services are the value adds mentioned in the support article, from which it's clear that they largely require sending your location to work.
Makes sense, I hope all installer tools will start using it
I know what externalities are. Are you claiming the marginal social cost of everything is greater than the marginal social benefit?
I think you're right. I think volume of exposure is a factor too though. If I walk past your backyard once, it is effortless for me to ignore the opportunity to gain firewood in the name of conscience.

If I walk past it all the time though, and I

- don't have other ties to you (like knowing you or living in the same neighborhood)

- am not at risk of getting caught (you're blind and deaf for example, and there are no neighbors to see)

- need firewood

it's not obvious to me that I won't steal. There are probably a lot more checks in place that are involved that don't come to mind, but having shoppers rely on themselves simply make theft more likely I think.

> Greatness is in the agency of others, and many talented executives have left the firm.

Uh huh. Twitter has always succeeded in spite of itself. There's never been any innovation and execution has been middling at best. I don't think there were ever "great" executives on board, and if there was, they didn't accomplish anything.

The rest of the post is just a stereotypical political rant about Russian bots and Trump. If there's a problem with the culture of Twitter's user base, much of the blame must lie on those with blue checkmarks. It's a toxic community.
I don't think it does. People share information and learn from each other. Hence, it is important to be responsible when providing information. We frequently see disclaimers on HN, Reddit, etc. like "IANAL", so as to put forward a point of view while warning it shouldn't be taken too seriously as actionable advice. It's the sensible thing to do.

Anybody spreading anti-vaccination propaganda has been convinced of it themselves.
could you explain that a bit more? What are you using instead?
I think you're just making my point for me. The telco companies have made several times that in the past 10 years. There is simply not enough reinvested into the infrastructure.

Ginger for soar throat, cold, inflammation etc.

Solid idea, I wonder about what type of scale makes an entire kitchen facility viable. I've known many chefs who were able to make a small catering career with under 5 employees, does a cloud kitchen help them out or are they better off cooking out of the home and/or a food cart?
Not really, it is more like "if you behave like a malicious actor similar to a spammer, we will treat you like one".
The model of "contact us and we will arrange the partnership" was, IMO, very wise method of getting the ports everywhere. At one point this sparked rumours of NT/amiga due to some informal talks that never progressed anywhere, but with MS already having established a reputation of "you get an NT port, and you, and you!"

And MS actually went a bit further and enforced portability by developing NT on a non-x86 platform that nobody else had (IIRC using i860) and then porting it to target platforms - of which x86 was considered a bit of a toy.

This is heavily visible with how NT had to carry around a significant portion of ARC runtime so that its boot process could work on non-ARC x86.

Unfortunately, they didn't prepare well enough for 64bits, and we had to wait till Windows 2000 and Itanium port to get Win64.
Jack Dorsey didnt want the job in the first place, they had to beg him to come back. Twitter was even more of a dumpster fire back then. No one wanted to buy the company and no one wanted to take the helm. The only thing that saved the company (which the article mentions as well) is Trump used it during his 2016 campaign and helped revive a company that should have died then.
We've had at least 2 posts from cliqz in the past few days. I have genuine issues with my short-term memory after having recovered from a coma so I don't know whether this is a glitch where I keep seeing the same posts or they keep getting reposted.
I feel like you'd never get the volume out of a factory location (even a centralized one) to justify the production capacity of industrial food production equipment, at least not as it exists today. There are some startups that seem to at least be trying to bridge this gap with smaller-scale food production automation.
You've got me. I wish I could delete the comment, or at least edit it.

It's a bit worse than just having no experience teaching algebra, I
didn't have the same experience as most kids trying to learn it. I was
kind of a freak. I was the weird quiet kid in the back of the class who
always knew the answer to every question. (Other kids tended to not like
that, but I'm also very disarming (in person) and so I did alright.) One
year, I was misplaced into a basic geometry class, and the teacher very
kindly let me pick out some calculus textbooks and sit in the back of the
class teaching myself calculus. (Some bureaucratic reason for why I
couldn't transfer, or the calc classes were full, or we didn't have any,
or something, I forget.) Learning math for me feels like remembering
things I always knew.

So, yeah, maybe I should keep my mouth shut when it comes to teaching normal
people how to do math.

Or maybe we should try to figure out what
my brain is doing and how to teach people to do that too?

Maybe I have a
normal brain and I'm just using it differently than most people?

I like that idea better, because then, instead of a freak, I'm a
front-runner. And, in addition, there's hope for a great improvement in
didactic technique and humanity's general "numeracy" level, eh? If we could teach people to math like i do we could compress basic math education (up to calculus) into just a year or so.

"Something self-referential and hopefully unsnarky about how this is a

I don't know what you're doing with chemistry, but if it involves any kind of physical experimentation I would implore you to exercise caution. Lab sciences are very hard to self study because a lot of important practical and safety knowledge is passed down in the lab and not in books. My friends who became chemists spent 1000+ hours in labs by the time they finished their undergraduate degree, for reference.
No, the browser should not be used for all content. It's not designed for it, and we already have the OS itself for that, why do you want to add needless levels of abstraction??
Interesting although I'm having trouble unpacking GDPR discussion from what the app actually does on a granular level and what that could mean for privacy. GDPR is not exactly how I think of those things.
I don't know, Clojure was a breath of fresh air when I first learned it and it's definitely more fun than what's shown in this post on a day-to-day, this post is just whimsy...

I don't buy a lot of food online. If you don't have a storefront, I won't know you exist. These dark kitchens won't even let you pick up the food yourself, from my understanding. I have to go through a middle man. So, you've already lost me as a customer unless I happen to have your specific food delivery app installed -- and that's a pretty fragmented market.
Kind of like Ruby on Rails?
"Donations"

What about companies with products that are "free", with a fixed priced attached when - over an unconstrained period of time - you want to pay (Sublime Text).
I don't necessarily want that, but if every other company is sitting on their hands, it's their loss. Walmart is the absolute worst. They have the size, money, and a decent tech team, but the checkout experience still sucks. At least the last time I visited, it was all self checkouts. Very small kiosks, so you constantly had to stop and tie your bags and find somewhere to put them while you scan more. All while trying to avoid the family next to you ramming you with their cart or their kids running around you, since the kiosks are less than a cart lengths apart. Assuming you are lucky enough to pay without needing to wait on an assistant for the inevitable machine issues, you'll then be stopped at the door and have your receipt checked if you have anything you decided not to bag. It's literally the worst checkout experience I could dream up.
> no persons involved are being hit with criminal charges

can the FTC or whoever else is involved _at_ _this_ _stage_ even file criminal charges against individuals?

we see over and over comments of the "omg no criminal charges" variety whenever a government body that can't file criminal charges fails to do so.
Tea and no tea...
Someone made an interesting counterpoint and deleted their comment while I was replying, so here is my reply to that:

I don't disagree with being upset with antivaxxers and thinking they are causing real harm to our society.

However, I think the harm is outweighed by the benefit of allowing people to make whatever arguments they want in public (much like I think the risk of dying from a vaccine is worth it because of the reduced risk of dying from the disease the vaccine is preventing). The alternative is having to set some sort of 'risk threshold', where you aren't allowed to argue for something that increases risk more than x%..... but that gets really complicated, because most of the times you are advocating to increase risk IN RETURN FOR SOMETHING ELSE.

For example, driving a car is EXTREMELY risky (and kills way more people than die from not taking a vaccine). However, most people feel the benefit of auto transport is worth the risk. However, that is very subjective, and it would be difficult to logically and objectively argue against someone who says that risk is not worth it, and we should outlaw cars.... and anyone who advocates driving is responsible for every automobile death.
Because telling someone "XXX is hard but you should learn it" doesn't actually get the person closer to an understanding of XXX.

Telling something "XXX is really useful and you've been putting off learning it because most of the material is inaccessible, so here's a gentle introduction to the concepts" does, though.
Litecoin’s Dream of Being Digital Silver Alongside Bitcoin Will Not Happen

@hintymad thanks for sharing! For me, monads seemed hugely difficult to learn, and so I never got started with them at all. Had I just known that they were not as hard as I thought they were (which I think is different from not hard) I might have started earlier. I’m hoping that by sharing some of my understandings I can help people avoid some of my own hesitation.

What I really like about the HN community is the notion of shipping even if you’re embarrassed by it, because the future good or bad is built by the people who show up.

Maybe, but you would still be tied to one place without any people around, and I can't imagine having to live like this without being able to run away. Personally, I'm sort of hoping for an immediately fatal motorcycle crash before I have to worry about going back to work, but I'll probably stick with renting if that doesn't pan out. In the meantime, there's an old joke that brings me comfort:

A person is running from an angry bear when they stumble off a cliff and get snagged by a strawberry bush, which is in full bloom. Looking up, they see the bear watching them patiently. Looking down, they see a sheer cliff and a fatal drop with no handholds. Certain death above, certain death below, and the person won't survive long without water. What should they do?

Answer: eat the strawberries.
yeah I personally know that when I was getting quotes for a fiber run about ~125m the best quote I got was for just under $10k.

I'm one of those people who remains skeptic about the anonymity of the tracking Cliqz does in general. Obviously people have a hard time believing any company that is in the advertising space and preaches about privacy, mainly because they have been burned several times before.

For me it was the data proxying through FoxyProxy that made me uncomfortable. I have also remained unconvinced about the motivation for not using Tor: because it is hard to integrate into extensions. Cliqz also has its own browser, not just an extension, where they could opt to use Tor, but they route through FoxyProxy.

You must find a way to make it technically impossible to identify users, a legal or business structure is not enough. It wouldn't be unheard of to secretly own the proxy company and relink user data.

Heat is entropy, but entropy is basically a measure of disorder/randomness. So when two substances transfer heat, they necessarily are not communicating information, except perhaps that there exists a temperature differential.
