I went with `.co` for Ritza[0], but I still think `.com` helps you rank better, and is still 'assumed' by many people, and at this stage I would probably move a .com domain soon.

I noticed that places like Karat[1] moved from .io to .com, so I assume that they had issues running on the .io domain.

I've also written a lot on CodeMentor (.io) and it "feels" harder to get artices to rank well than on other places (e.g. DigitalOcean.com) that I have written for. Obviously there's a lot more to ranking than choice of TLD, and I do not have hard data, but I am fairly convinced that it remains an important aspect.

The `.dev` TLD also seems to be gaining in popularity (e.g. CodeMentor partially moved to arc.dev). And then places like `dev.to` are I think helping get people used to non-com domains, but to me it's pretty interesting how much the '.com' TLD has maintained reputation and how the newer TLDs have not taken off as much as I expected.

Thank you for this reply. I actually agree with you (except in not being Buddhist): we should differentiate between Buddhism the organized religion and Buddhism the spiritual practice.

Unfortunately, too many people are only familiar with the latter - and only with a variant of the latter that is much cleaned up and stripped of its folksy roots and made palatable for Western consumption - and then transfer the positive feelings they have about that to the former.
Weird ccTLD extensions always comes with "issues".

This entire discussion thread exists because of that one little thing. In other words, it adds marketing value. Getting people to discuss your product, even if negative, is still free marketing.
A Domain-Specific Supercomputer for Training Deep Neural Networks
You are trying hard not to understand the message. The laws change to fit what people consider right.

What Apple is doing might be almost legal but it is not right and laws can be written to spell this out for them and others.

Computing should be declared a human right and selling mass produced general purpose computers without allowing anybody to deploy any desired software on that computer should be illegal.
Good luck finding my domain francisco.io with some other half-decent TLDN

Also open source is made for many different reasons, particularly there's a split between Open vs Free software. It seems like this article is referring to FOSS only, which is a minority of the ones used in these domains. The majority of .io I've seen is Open Source and not Free Software.
On Cultures That Build – A Response to Marc Andreessen
looool, love this!
Imagine the impact on human culture if the skills of running, interpreting, and creating computer models were as widespread as the skills of reading, interpreting, and writing text are today. The person on the street would have new intellectual tools for making sense of the world around them. Decision-making might improve as the public understanding of issues moves beyond sound-bites. The fog surrounding economic projections, and the other uses and abuses of statistical evidence in politics, might lift at least a little.

Unlike many hermeneutic activities spawned by the Information Age, modeling urges one to look outward at that which is being modeled, which could lead to more involvement and less passivity. The widespread establishment of computer modeling as a hobby seems to me one clearly necessary aspect of broadening cultural participation, just as reading for pleasure and writing for personal purposes were necessary driving factors for widespread use of text.

I think you're both right.

To the meta-point made by the OP... We are now sitting on 200 years of social "science" failure to gain an understanding of this stuff. Theories fall in and out of favour, but they never seem to be affected by reality very much either way.

I think science, as an approach, just isn't a useful way of getting an understanding of why US rail construction costs are so outrageous. It isn't that kind of question. Aspiring to an abstract philosophical or scientific Theory of Government Procurement doesn't take you anywhere useful.
Lets not forget Brazil.

I'm talking about ships used for relay. Ships used for just internet over the water won't be possible if there are no gateways (other ships with relays) over the water. Those terminals do have to be expensive, just like the gateway ones, because the antenna performance is much higher than the user terminal's, and the radome is very large (see other pictures from reddit on here).

For the non-relay case, we've already established that due to beam size you can't get very far off shore before it won't work. The goal of the simulation was also to show beam size. If the beam sizes are arbitrarily large then obviously the simulation would have shown a single hop.
Might as well piss in the wind. The number of back-links from different sources probably has a much larger effect.

Also, most data scientists presumably have some advanced math background so it's akin to reading set-builder notation (albeit with listcomps the sets are sometimes nested). Your listcomp reads:

{x : y ∈ z, x ∈ zz | y ∈ x}

If you've read enough statistics/ML papers, this becomes second nature.
What does Docker really have to do with this? It's only mentioned twice in the article.

It's like saying "Using Python, SQL, and a virtual machine to analyse the health records of 24M people."
I think most developers would agree that "open source has won". I feel the aspect of it that you're focusing on here is the ability to choose the best-in-breed tools, and to be able to swap each one out individually as better options arrive. If Microsoft's approach with its open source tooling is to follow that mindset, I'm not concerned. If it isn't, then eventually people will either move on to other tooling or fork it.

Now, if we're saying that Microsoft should be spending more of their time on interop and portability but chooses not to prioritize their resources on that, then that just falls into the category of common complaints that people have with all open-source projects and what the contributors choose to spend their valuable developer hours on.
I think there's a subset of tech folks that don't really value UX (which is like 90% of hey's value-add). It's the same people that don't understand Slack's value because "it's just over-hyped IRC"

Real people lost a lot of BTC on Mt Gox, so I'm not sure how the BTC stories are in outer space.

Apart from that, the second half of your first sentence is exactly the question - is fraud endemic to this industry, and actually central to its operation?

The popular perception is that the industry is somehow fundamentally honest with a few bad-actor exceptions.

Considering how regularly fraud happens, how damaging it is, and how rarely it's flagged by auditors and regulators, I think it would be useful to question that view.

Or to invert the polarity - how many significant potential frauds have been prevented by auditors and regulators, or by paperwork theatre like KYC?

Are there any? If so, how do the numbers compare with the number of frauds that blow up into real financial and reputational damage?
Utter nonsense - more of the same armchair protesting that we've come to expect from the tech community. Moving on.
That’s all super fair, but they also argue this direction allows them to innovate as well. Notably, their direction resembles a rails approach and lets the server do more work. (Because Hey is instead just a standard API client, whereas the client can tell the server things that you just can’t do with IMAP.)

I imagine with the Apple situation they are working on adding support currently however, even if it’s reduced. They need an iOS plan B.
Last word. I can't lie to you about your chances, but you have my sympathies.

Katrina has a death toll measured around 1000-2000.

The population of New Orleans alone is 1.5 million, so 1‰ of the population died.

That's a pretty small number, and tells me that society coped just fine.

Crop failures caused by volcanic eruptions, which kill 50% of the world population, is a far bigger issue. It is also something mankind will recover from in a couple of generations.
Regulators were definitely not asleep at the wheel. They were apparently actively defending them, for instance by attempting to sue the Financial Times for reporting on the irregularities.

Connecting a FeathersJS App with the Database – FeathersJS Series – Part – 2
Absolutely. When it comes down to it, most people don't want to be informed, they want their ego to be comforted.

Advertising-driven news may be the root of the current partisanship pandemic, but replacing it with pay-per-view news is only going to make things worse. Instead of mostly watching *News but getting bits and piece from other sources, you'd have vast swaths of the population that subsist entirely on "news" from OANN or Daily Kos. Yikes.
.xyz is awful. It takes 4 syllables to pronounce it and means nothing. .com only takes 2 syllables.
Having had an xyz domain name I have to warn people that many mail servers will automatically think you're a spammer if you send email with it. No idea why.
I think the deaths are also going to cause millions of years lost life. Doing nothing would have cost 10’s if not 100’s of millions of years of lost life, so net win.
How to Increase the Conversion Rate of Your Online Store
Am actually not from the U.S. and quite far left on the political spectrum, I am not against government regulation where it makes sense at all, I do find it absurd in principle that Apple can essentially supersede a national government, but in practice I find it unlikely that the UK government would be more conscious of my own privacy than Apple and that's saying something as I disdain Apple's practices quite a bit in general.

You seem to assume I am arguing for no tracing at all, but am simply saying I doubt the UK's own technology is better in terms of preserving privacy than Apple's, while achieving the same goal.

Generically speaking, I thought that the promise of the Internet was to have more (and more direct) access to resources.

When it comes to e-commerce or e-subscriptions that should have meant the end of the middlemen, the products or contents/whatever are delivered directly from the author/producer/supplier to the end user, cutting costs.
And aren't in the news for that reason. So most of the news is about the exciting people doing exciting things, often with other people's money.

I searched for the name of (IIRC) the third biggest Swiss bank on HN now. No stories ever, one comment, and that comment was basically a list of banks. That bank exists, though, it just isn't named when people talk about scandals.

A surprisingly large subset of those tech folks can and does improve the UX of their Mail and Chat life using basic scripting on top of a simple but flexible UI.
Both Slack and Hey say F U to that and force you to do everything your way. No standards compliance, no tailoring of the UX to your actual needs.
> The actual solution to getting their app approved is obvious.

It's not obvious to me. Mind elaborating on what the obvious solution is? Giving up 30% of your revenue on what's likely to be your largest platform when your competitors don't have to isn't obvious, so there must be another option I'm missing.
There’s literally a section in their book about leveraging enemies as marketing.
PornHub has an enormous problem with sexual trafficking and child abuse, which means that financing PornHub exposes you to serious legal liability (and an unambiguous moral responsibility). So it's not just institutional prudishness - online porn is full of vicious criminals.
Mailbox did most of these features 5-7 years ago.

There are some innovative things here but they want $99/year for it and it doesn’t support IMAP. It’s also ugly as sin and looks straight out of 2007.

The biggest hurdle is that it just won’t play nice with all of my email accounts. I would have to maintain my “normal” mail application and also maintain Hey. The benefits Hey might offer are ruined by not being able to have a consistent workflow across all of my accounts.

I agree that .xyz is not necessarily professional and that .com is still the most reputable choice. I own both snazz.xyz (because it’s fun, short, and fits well with the theme of my username) and a more professional website with my CV and academic information at [firstname][lastname].com. I think that owning both serves me well at a lower annual cost than a single .io.
There doesn't seem to be any attempt to address the evidence that much of the economic impact is a direct result of the pandemic disease and not from government policy.

I call Hanlon's razor: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity".

The problem was that German politicians were extremely desperate for at least one large-scale German "new tech business" success story, and Wirecard seemed to be the only candidate that on the face of it appeared to fit the bill. That blinded them to the obvious and made them see an anglo-saxon conspiracy to keep German tech down behind every reasonable story about Wirecard.

In my opinion, it shows the dangers when national protectionism and picking winners intrudes in the supposedly neutral business of regulating critical businesses.

I would say, that once you've got past your initial incubator phase, and now have investor money, you can finally drop some cash on the overpriced .com that's been sitting on a domain resellers[1] list for years.

[1] You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
If you aren’t convinced by the moral issues or ownership disputes, consider also that as recently as 2017 .io has had significant DNS outages affecting domain resolution. It seems the current operators have moved the root zones to more reliable providers since but if ownership of the domain is transferred in the future then that is subject to change.
The median age of the people deceased of COVID-19 is 82

I'm talking about an open platform that would make it painless for users to pay for any "app" made by any provider... it could be either a website that aggregates all web apps or a native open-app-store...
I've heard of this, but I use my @snazz.xyz email address for most everything and have never had deliverability issues (using G Suite with SPF, DMARC, and DKIM configured). Maybe this is true if you run your own mail server and your IP reputation is too low.
The problem with all these new TLDs is that spammers have poisoned the well. The overwhelming majority of the spam I get comes from .club, .xyz, and other "gold rush" TLDs, so I can't be surprised if some organizations just reject them outright.
What do you think they can do with their custom API that IMAP can't? IMAP has server-side search and a file-based representation of things like configuration. It may not be as easy to write as a JSON API, but once you do, the interface is flexible enough to really accomplish anything.
What on earth am I looking at?
It's been loudly discussed on pretty much every article posted here since government orders started to be issued.
Yes, the obvious solution is to implement IAP. This is what Apple says they need to do. That said, they don't have to give up 30% of their revenue, they could make it more expensive to sign up via IAP if they wanted to offset the loss. Not great for the consumer, but at least it would work.
I think a Brave-style approach is better than an advertising-supported model just because Internet advertising is a scam for everyone involved. Unfortunately Brave doesn't solve the underlying problem of "views = $$$", which means journalism would have to continue to rely on being clickbait to survive.
It's taboo because that "side" of the debate calls for millions of avoidable deaths.

— Dogbert, Build a Better Life by Stealing Office Supplies (Dogbert’s Big Book of Business), Scott Adams, 1991
I forget where I read this but apparently dogs have evolved to understand human body language as well.

For example, if a dog goes into a room with a stranger and the stranger then points to one of several buckets, the dog will generally go over to that bucket. This is without any prior training or experience to pointing on the dog's part.

This apparently doesn't work with children so the theory was that over time, the dogs that responded best to human body language were more likely to survive due to getting more treats etc.
I believe the easiest explanation here is that the group was heavily invested in the stock under question.

Interesting, thanks for pointing that out - it wasn't obvious to me from skimming the paper.

In their "Conclusion" section, they write:

"We thus propose Cuckoo++ which adds a bloom filter in the primary bucket, allowing to prune unnecessary accesses to the
secondary bucket without requiring expensive computation.
Cuckoo++ hash tables have a uniformly good performance
when compared to both pessimistic and optimistic implementation, and an improved performance over DPDK and
Horton tables for all cases.

We also describe a variant of Cuckoo++ that integrate support for entry expiration directly in the hash table, avoiding
the need for external management of timers and the associated overheads. This relies on a new memory layout more
compact than DPDK’s original one, and on the use of 16-bit
timestamp."

That seems to imply that the timer/expiration feature is an optional added bonus, rather than a core feature of Cuckoo++.
Late reply, I've been camping for the last few days. It was beautiful and rejuvenating, thank you!

Calling something "silly" that may not impact you but could have a greater impact on others is insensitive. It so insensitive that you'd have to conceal your identify, or hide your opinion when not voicing your opinion on the Internet to avoid backlash and becoming untouchable to (some/more/most/all) employers. I don't understand the gain, other than dog whistling.

That's a victim mentality. It's discussed all the time - the argument is constantly being had as to what the consequences of both the shutdown and the disease are, and at what combination of policy and time the two become comparable. Just because you encounter a lot of people who argue that we have not yet reached that point, doesn't mean the entire topic is taboo or that you alone are willing to consider something that nobody else is.

Buddhism is romanticized in the West for the same reason Christianity is becoming so popular in China: it's easy to romanticize other people's superstition.

In the West, people are very familiar with Christianity. It's mundane, and a good portion of the population views it as backwards. But most people have no idea about Buddhism and what role it has played in Asian societies.

In China, people are exposed to Buddhism all the time, and it's not exotic in any way. But many people in China view Christianity as some sort of trendy Western religion, and don't know how it's viewed in the West.

Other people's superstition isn't laden with the same baggage as one's own society's superstition.
