I think that there's a lot of truth in criticisms of both capitalism and socialism. Running the org nameservers seems like a job best done by a non-profit organization, using some minimal funds from domain renewals. Neither profit-making enterprise or government body seems like an ideal match.

I suppose non-profit organizations can still go bad, so transparency in operations, and some kind of oversight mechanism that can replace the directors if necessary, would be needed.
If they were smart, they would have used the whole set for hyperparameter tuning. That would be essentially undetectable.
Ah Chandigarh. Good choice. The beauty of this city is evident in even this minimalist drawing.
I'd also love to see something indicating it is for big organizations only, which is patently false. Obviously it is irrelevant why it has that ethos as long as it in fact exists (if you want to pretend the general public doesn't see .org as generally indicating a service to humanity rather than a commercial venture, we can just agree to disagree). Also, in the doc you link it is clearly, evidently, for non-commercial organizations since .com comes first and covers all commercial entities, and.org is for all other entities. It is part of the Public Interest Registry. The point is there is a legitimate reason to want to use it, even if you are small - and no good reason to force small NGOs to abandon it other than to increase profit extraction from non-commercial organizations.
Going to put in a plug for Diono Radian car seats [1]. We have a 4 year old and 2 year old twins. All three of them fit with these seats in the back of our Honda Civic.

They are amazing and definitely worth the premium, in my opinion.

My experience with online dating has been the same, however mostly it's; match with a person, exchange a few words, exchange numbers, move on to WhatsApp. Yes, I do need to go back, but the middleman is almost always cut out instantly.

But don't they already have your money by then? They don't care if you stop chatting within their platform since you've already paid
It is not. You are really dismissing his original point that the contribution is made difficult because of code bloat. I have a hard time believing this is easier than ever, as 20 years ago the code must have been simpler.
The interpretation I've heard is that the dividend is the rent. You can rent it to someone else for a few percent of its value per annum (which definitely looks like an investment), but even if you don't, it's still paying the dividend in the form of you not having to pay rent each month, which would be the case if you didn't own the place.
They train winning code from scratch, I think, so you wouldn't have been able to just train the model with the "unseen" data.
I don't (or no longer) think it's great form to say negative things about former employers on the Internet, so allow me to expound on the positive aspects of my point.

I think having great tooling / infrastructure at least gives stakeholders more options in terms of the business direction they're taking. You can pivot and execute faster, which to me means you can pivot away from something ethically bad and execute in a different direction faster.

Great tooling / infrastructure in my mind is also ethically salvageable and redeemable. A great tool can help an ethically positive division of the company as it can help an ethically negative division of the company. It may not always be black and white.

Lastly, great tooling / infrastructure generally requires top talent, which can move anywhere and is sensitive to things like ethics. Having great tooling / infrastructure, or the threat of losing great tooling / infrastructure by losing talent to ethical issues, can act as pressure for management to choose certain projects over others. I think Grasshopper is an example of one such decision.

It's possible to fly with a dog under the seat that is not an ESA or a service dog. So I really doubt it's the case for 90% of the animals you see.
I just checked out Bitwig. Apparently it is a for-money app which is not available in the Mac App Store.

So far, every not-free-open-source app I have seen which is not on the Mac App Store has caused problems:

- Spotify: does weird things to start at login and hide it from your system's start-at-login settings
- Dropbox: phishes you to get your root password
- Panic Transmit and Coda: exfiltrates your ~/.ssh/id_rsa file while not clearly documenting this

For 399 USD, I had hoped Bitwig could manage to get its app set up with sandboxing and into the store.

The main downside for the blind guide horse user is having every single person that sees them run up and say some variant of "OMG IS THAT A HORSE!?!?!?!" Even with a dog blind persons just trying to go about their business get a ton of unwanted attention and a horse draws an order of magnitude more.

One also needs to be able to pasture it. It doesn't take a ton of land, but a guide dog can live in an urban apartment and a horse can't, at least not without being miserable.

A recent trip to Europe and the cars, trucks, highways, roads, etc.. everything feels smaller. Parking garages are the worst, so narrow you can barely see if you're going to scrape a wall or car. You really have to use the force.
I've come to realize that laws aren't generally about fairness. They're about whole-systems thinking. Lots of rules seem unfair if you're an individual in a system.

The popcorn kernel that doesn't pop may feel slighted, but that doesn't mean my popper is broken, or the kernel is.

Allowing car companies to make new cars which are less safe would cause more injuries and deaths. We allow older cars and motorcycles for political and economic reasons. Banning them would be even worse.
Spot on, the 10,000 free limit is much more limiting than many people think. I've seen very small businesses of even 3-4 people lose tons of institutional knowledge just because they wouldn't pay for slack. With larger tech groups you can start losing information after a few days. And the larger the group the less likely they will pay for it. I like the UI of Slack but am happy when I see tech groups using Discord instead.

I have more thoughts here if anyone is interested, including alternatives, "Why tech groups can use Slack for free but open source projects and businesses of any size shouldn’t": https://medium.com/@gabriel_wilkes/why-tech-groups-can-get-a...
I don’t know if this qualifies as Citizen science in the traditional sense, but I’m planning on doing a lot more I’d ependent research in Machine Learning this year. My focus is on Neural Architecture Search, Modularity, and biologically inspired prior in deep learning. I’ve written a bit about it here: https://www.harshsikka.me/the-diy-phd/
Anecdotal but I had 2 round trip flights between SFO and Logan (Thanksgiving/Christmas) and on each one there was at least one very small dog in the cabin. They were not service dogs, just people taking advantage of ESA to take their pets with them over the holidays. Unless there’s some Jet Blue thing I’m not aware of.

I find your solution wonderful, but I’m curious how to detect such trained dogs. Tests? Certifications? Licenses? Who’s and where from?
Nature isn't exactly painless with how it sources its meat either. Hell it can be (and often is) downright cruel. Just because we should strive not to subject animals to the same level of suffering as nature can, doesn't mean that all animal slaughter is bad
Saving much content to disk makes some degree of sense, and there are tools that already do this, though not at the user level (and increasingly incompletely as SSL/TLS transport becomes near universal): caching proxies.

Your browser also caches aggressively.

If targeted to specific high-value sites, or setting retention based on site / content value (some automatic, some less so, some short-lived, some logner), you'll end up with a useful and usable local archive with what is today very small amounts of storage -- even a few GB of text out of a TB or more, isn't much, and that would be a pretty extensive collection.

If the content can be reduced such that it's just necessary text (excluding web crud and more), the end result is likely much smaller still. I've experimented with reducing Washington Post articles and homepage to a simplified view, by selecting specific HTML elements, and the result weighs in at about 3-10% of the source page.

A typical online article likely runs about 800 words. If you read (or save) 20 articles a day for a year, thats about 300 MB.

You would eventually fill a 1 TB hard drive with text at that point. In about 3,400 years.
Miniature horses can actually be trained as service animals, "guide horses" for sight impaired are even protected by the same legislation as dogs in some places.

In this context though, maybe it needs it's own seat.
IP-based rate limiting is easily foiled via proxies, VPN services, tor, or botnets
I wouldn't say it's clear by any means but follow the "in 2017" link. After reading that page if it doesn't make sense why simply leaving those fields out wouldn't work follow a few more links in any of the articles and then try rereading the "in 2017" link.

It's not so much "is it possible to push arbitrary text in RSS" as it is "is it possible to push the writing flow in RSS".
Could this situation be improved/eliminated when we move from TCP/IP to NDN (Named Data Network)?

In NDN, you don't request data from a specific host, hence no need to specify the receiving machine's IP, indeed, you send the packet to a p2p network, another with certain data / signature can answer your request.

>The problem is expanding complexity with a lack of detail and exposition that allows for misunderstandings and perhaps even errors.

I think this is also a problem in modern software development. Everyone writes a new API; uses obscure library A,B, and C; throws things together and claims it's their new pattern X.

Then you're left with all this new complexity introduced by custom abstractions that often aren't transferable from one development case to the next and require learning entirely new sets of concepts that are poorly explained.
Ask HN: Is functional immortality possible? What are the blockers to longevity?

Sure - I am speaking broadly of the job market for computational programmers outside of academia and national labs, and I'd better say that I am in the USA. So if you did a masters or PhD in CFD, or the finite element for structures, (and I wager also, E&M/Maxwell, computational physics, and numerical simulation generally (a catch all because the boundaries are fuzzy), but I think "as it goes in CFD and FEA for structures, so it goes in other numerical domains...?"), then it's quite possible you came from a school where your professor(s) wrote in old style C++ (or maybe straight up procedural C), or maybe used only the most basic features of Fortran 90 or worse (F77). The main thing is that while you did something noteworthy in your field to get your degree in engineering simulation or computational physics, you used a language, or language variant, that is not common anymore in _actively_ developed projects commercially. So, outside of academia and national labs, which are hard to get into if you are coming in from say, a state school with fewer connections (and did not intern somewhere as you had research obligations at school, say), in commercial code bases, as far as I have seen, hiring "from without" looks generally for lots of C++ computational/numerical experience.

Not such a big deal if you are a pure-researcher in, say, CFD, and not such a big deal in a national lab, where the big codebase may be FORTRAN anyway (caps to denote old school code bases). But it really limits your mobility not to be "C++ first". Lastly, if you land a job at a big numerical analysis company, you may be looking after legacy products forever if you are "just a Fortran person".

Well, this is obviously anecdotal. Sorry to state such bald opinions. But it's what I've seen, and really would have been helpful to know as I was going through school. I wrote a lot of Fortran and Python. It's left me playing catch up and it could have been avoided with comparative ease compared to my time budget now.
Um that is kindof missing the point. A badge is nothing more than a number expressed in symbols, so you demonstrated just another variation of how to hijack the brain, even if you just read an article showing it to you with numbers...

If "improving individual performance" means to you that you perform better at your job, you are already lost.

It seems unlikely any serious adversary would be taken in by this.

I think it's more likely a case of gross managerial incompetence where superiors were taken in by a crackpot making claims far outside of his and their ability to evaluate.
Thats only if the points are simply participation awards. They only have value if winning them is not for granted.
> The fact that people call Latin, but not English, a "dead language" is purely due to the fact that the different stages of English all happen to be called "English".

I don't think this is the case: the language that Beowulf is written in is normally referred to as Old English. Chaucer is Middle English. Shakespeare is Early Modern English. William Makepeace Thackeray is Victorian English.

IMO, it's reasonable to assert that each of these are "dead" in some meaningful way: even Early Modern and Victorian English, despite their intelligibility, are simply not spoken by any group of current-day English speakers.
Electric vehicles can run off carbon neutral sources. They can take advantage of any future improvements in electrical power generation and storage. It is literally impossible for ICE vehicles to be carbon neutral.

Solar and wind are already becoming more profitable than running existing coal plants in some areas. Market forces in tandem with continued technological development will accelerate these shifts. It would also be prudent for government to nudge this process along.
>Do we have to wait until one of these dogs kills a child in order to ban them?

I doubt even that will be enough. I share a lot of your fears. It hasn't happened yet, but one day someone is going to lose track/control of their pit bull here in California where even small women can take them on walks and it will attack me while I'm walking/running home. So I have to make sure to walk on busy streets so if I do get attacked, I at least have someone who can help. There was one time I was walking somewhere and two different pet owners crossed paths and their dogs started barking and aggressing each other, one of the owners even fell but on the bright side he didn't lose grasp of the leash and the girl with the big ass dog was able to keep her dog under control. Another time recently, I was going home with my sister and we walked past a house where some dog owners lost control of their dog which started running for us, but luckily it was friendly and wasn't out for blood. Small cute breed. But what about when it isn't? It's fucked.
Occam's razor cuts both ways. If you believe the conspiracy, the most likely reason is the bad one. But, its conjecture at best, either way. Maybe they did, maybe they didn't. we can't tell.

Nothing is sacrosanct to those people. They don't care about the technology like we do, it's just a way for them to make their money. They'll destroy all of it just to get their way. They won't lose any sleep over it.

Part of me hopes every TLD gets hit by this so that the exploitation becomes unbearable and people are forced to create a better system. Hopefully we'll end up with something that can't be subverted by these corporates.
I agree that if you have a short position the size of 5% of your portfolio, and the stock then triples in value, the size of the short position would grow to 15% of your portfolio. What's your point? 15% is still nowhere close to insolvency or forced liquidation. If you're right about Tesla's long-term prospects being abysmal, you would still come out ahead.
The thing that drives me nuts is that it is always presented as this dichotomy between teaching STEM and teaching liberal arts, as if you have to pick one or the other. The schools have these children for twelve or thirteen years. You could easily do both if you cut the shit and the nonsense and didn't waste their time.

You might have to track children according to ability, which is unpalatable to some. You might also have to have a revolution in the art of teacher education and practice, which is probably impossible due to the entrenched interests.
What does a WhatsApp .enc file contain, apart from its media? The report describes it as a "downloader", but that doesn't make a lot of sense. Are they suggesting the .enc file is malformed, such that when WhatsApp tries to parse it (or when creating it), some security flaw in WhatsApp allows arbitrary code execution? (I.e., .enc files in general are not "downloaders".)
I have noticed that popular repos with "good first issue" labels on issues tend to have those issues claimed fairly quickly. There is real competition in trying to display and assert your coding credentials with open source contributions.

Anecdotally, some issues that are claimed for months do not have corresponding PRs submitted. Question to those that mark labels as "good first issue", have you dealt with flaky contributors?
Exactly. Not as wide of a variety of ideas, opinions and world views as you make it out to be.
It's baffling to me that there's no federal or state licensing system for service animals.
I'm not sure... I guess maybe it depends on how severe the allergy is and how much of an issue you make of it. For me it's not life-threatening; it just makes me uncomfortable: a little nasal congestion, and perhaps my eyes feel a little itchy. I didn't say anything on that particular flight, but perhaps if I had, they could have accommodated me somehow.
I'm mostly just trying to understand you because you keep using self-contradicting arguments. If you would rather keep making new arguments instead of explaining anything, then sure it's better to leave it at that.

Part of the problem is pet owners overestimating their pets abilities.

I usually fly JetBlue, and they allow small dogs in the cabin, in a carrier. Never had an issue.

Bookmarks themselves (save a few references), and many archival systems, aren't particularly useful, mostly because they impose far too much overhead into either classifying or using the resulting archive.

Manually tagging everything ... is tedious.

The inability to search content of bookmarks, or even, often to find the original content online (praise His Noodliness for the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine), is a major impediment.

Reading (and using) research tools which do allow and facilitate use, not merely archival, of references, is a complete game-changer, and makes clear that much of the present organisational conceit of Web content is highly flawed, with assumptions based on 20- 30-year-old system limitations, when disk was scarce, storage expensive, and local search difficult at best.

The focus of most vendors -- both proprietary and nominally free software -- around user-surveillance, tracking, and cloud-based platforms facilitating both, means that usable, user-controlled, local (or at least proximate) solutions ... are poorly developed, supported, and advertised (irony noted).

There are some. I'm encouraged by the mentions of projects in this thread. Pinboard, Pocket, Wallabag, and other options have some use.[1]

I still think the area's ripe for drastic improvement.

Individuals may only be seeking more power to better do their jibs and serve to the benefit of the people.

But bureaucracy is just so evolves that it perpetuates the problem it was created to solve. Trivially, those agencies which reliably have achieved their goal get disbanded as no more needed, the only remaining in the long term are such whose goals are elusive.

This is how well-intentioned, honest people try to grab more power for their agency, because it seems to help achieve that elusive goal.

(To say nothing of people with less integrity in a position of power.)
The problem I have in this, is that history is littered with things which without hindsight were crazy-batshit-ideas, and in a world of IPR and patents, definitely do get flagged as wierd. But.. then turn out to be useful.

Liquid metal refrigerators using electromagnetics to send the fluid around instead of just pumping ammonia? Thats .. crazy. But also, What Szilard and Einstein patented: safer by far, no moving parts in the working refrigerant fluid.

Directed beam weapons: notoriously the 'kill a goat' test for the BRL and Navy tired of loony inventors, but actually the ground work of Radar and like activity according to Robert Buderi (yes, this is a gloss, but there are linkages. The forces people assumed RF beams were weapons, not detection systems)

Infra-Red for detection of the enemy. No more stupid than what they had, which is sound, giant sounding dishes to hear bombers. Turns out its harder to do IR than RF, but didn't stop Lord Cherwell obsessing about it, to the detriment of other science initiatives, but NOW IR is a stable of all kinds of things.

These UFO patents may contain ideas which make sense in limited fields, or huge fields, or no fields.

(obviously, if they are based on perpetual motion flawed physics it tends to no fields)
I get nuts all the time on Alaska and I think American, but perhaps no peanuts.
That sounds like an eminently sober assessment of the situation. My concern there is that the information economy seems to be growing its own set of harmful externalities, at least by my own quality metric, which places a high value on personal freedom. But one problem at a time I guess.
