I'm an individual, and I really don't like administration. Why can't I just register and own a domain rather than effectively paying rent to exist?

Your point about business operations is totally valid, but business is just one sort of human activity and shouldn't be the yardstick for everything else. Most of these blogs on blogspot.in were likely just personal journals. Domain registration seems like the sort of thing a public blockchain would be ideal for in comparison to a centralized registrar.

Ocean liners did cost significantly less than airliners in the beginning. A transatlantic ocean liner ticket in 1950 cost about $1200 in 2020 dollars while a one way flight to europe in 1950 cost around $3000 2020 dollars.

Taking a 5 day longer trip to save $1800 is equivalent to getting paid $360 per day. If your salary is less than $90,000 per year, you'd be better off taking the ocean liner.

FWIW, Stephen Miller, an immigration advisor, has, in the past suggested limiting issuing student visas to "hurt universities whose faculty and students had been critical of Trump" [0].

Edits, ahh you confuse the western family as being just a non extended family.

The criticism is against all families, extended or not. The idea from Marxism is that tribalism starts in the family unit. The aim is to get the village to raise the child, not just allow the grandmother to lend a hand.

The western family includes the European models, it doesn't only contain the Protestant isolated family structure.

Your question should therefore be re written as "why does advocating for having a family to be made up of people not related to the child be seen as problematic"?

Walk into a goodwill, and your answer will be obvious. Plenty of things are sold packaged and new in goodwill. Usually it's things like homegoods, in my experience.
Sometimes you will hear the expression: "We think technology will save us. Technology got us into this mess"

Or, you might hear about the moral hazard of suggesting that technological approaches could reduce the need for reduced consumption [1]

It may be a good idea to add pop-up games. How do I explain this.

Appreciate the feedback, and I agree. The image (and news for that matter) search tabs are now kind of just a box check, but they are both on the roadmap to built out to be made much more usable. Adding a dark mode will be pretty simple and I can add it to the list.

I wish something like the Web Monetization API [0] was a viable path to monetization, but I don't think it is in the current state.

I believe the only current path to monetization that preserves user privacy is context based display ads that work like billboards in the real world. I am working on that now, but the idea is a flat fee to display the ad for N days regardless of views or clicks.

It is a little clunky and could use a good deal of polish. For example, you can only PiP one video, and controls remain in the tab with the video frame. PiP only gives you play/pause, no scrubbing or anything from the embedded player. The always on top is a feature for some, but can be a hindrance, too. That behavior should be a toggle for the user so they can use their tools how they like.

You can use Docker Swarm. Mirantis since back-paddled on its plans to deprecate it. It's a great piece of SW if you don't need thousands of containers, but rather low hundreds (and if you don't need additional stuff like Istio, operators, etc.)
Does this use one of the bigger search engines (Bing, Google) as an API, or is it fully custom rolled?

Let me clarify this. I'm a pro-enlightenment education, which is pro-science. But, todays system has become a postmodernist indoctrination mill which is anti-science. Unfortunately, while public education, stressing university education etc. sounded great in theory, and I supported that for years, looking at the results of that effort, the academic standards have gone down. Thus, time to look into doing something different because todays system is no longer effective and in some aspects could be called a net negative.
Judging by the downvotes, I'd guess a lot of people misunderstood you.

That's probably mostly for criminals.

There are still ICO's, they are just rebranded usually to something else like IEOs or STOs.

Yes, stores often sell excess stock to goodwill.
Philosophically the difference is a collection of resources vs a single connected data model and enforced object representation.

The single data model lets you provide resource join requests and the enforced encoding lets the service select only desired fields.

Field query params could be provided by web frameworks but they can't be fundamental because REST doesn't imply json or even resources with fields. Similarly, no fields means no join syntax. It will always be a bolt on solution for REST apis.

That said, I feel like GraphQL has a flaw around multiple schemas/services. You can build a rest API as a collection of any endpoints of services and because you were doing all the work anyway it doesn't feel strange.

I'm no GraphQL expert but it seems like stitching multiple schemas and joining across them isn't possible from a client perspective. I'm not sure how this plays out in practice.

I would feel much better about GraphQL if it was a client side library that kept the query syntax. In theory something like that could wrap any number of REST services. REST services could opt in to added functionality like query joining and field filtering as needed. Missing functionality would fall back to the client.

If we're taking requests for how to take the improvements of GraphQL into REST, that would be my suggestion.

It is still pretty dependent on that browser tab. Accidentally close that tab, there goes your video. You also lose controls like scrubbing, and can only PiP one video at a time.
In fairness to the public, the two companies involved in producing Concorde have each changed names 3+ times after merging with other major aircraft and industrial concerns, and are each now fading memories as part of the two largest European aerospace & defense conglomerates.

I'd actually wager a significant portion of the population would correctly say Airbus, but for the wrong reasons - it's the only French aerospace company they can think of.

I did a straw poll among some friends and got a lot of "I don't know what that is. Do you mean the grape?"
Yes, you're right. I tried with some scanned pages from a Vietnamese book but the result was very bad (say <5% accurate). The scans was pretty OK, though. Probably the model was not trained much for the Vietnamese language but I think it's more likely that it does not do the necessary per-processing steps.

> The 737 MAX fiasco shows that Boeing still hasn't caught up with what Airbus was doing in the 1980s.

The Air France 447 accident demonstrated to me that Airbus hadn't really thought things through either. Pilots entered conflicting inputs and the plane averaged them out instead of giving (good, actionable) feedback.

Side question: is fly-by-wire an obviously good idea for passenger airplanes? It's ubiquitous in e.g. fighter jets because of the inherent aerodynamic instability of those platforms, making them hard or impossible ("Hopeless diamond") to fly without computer assistance. Passenger jets have different goals and are built to have stable flight -- the plane wants to fly level. My takeaway from Air France 447 was that I want more Boeing-style (linked, mechanical) controls in passenger airplanes than I want fly-by-wire. Am I off base?
No ICOs? None at all? Since mid 2018?

Sure, many of those won't be using ethereum, but they still happened. And that's before you dive into the IEOs and STOs, which appear to be more of the same.
I stood up a vanilla baremetal cluster (on the latest Ubuntu) a few days back using Kubeadm ... it was fairly trivial to do. I used the NGINX Ingress and it was also generally straightforward (maybe took an hour or two to understand what was going on). Curious what we did different?

Seconding regular expressions. Even for non-developers, they can be hugely useful in word processing and spreadsheets. If you ever need to find or replace text that isn't exact, then you should check it out.

Ever had to do something like look for every timestamp in a document or every word ending in -y or -ies, but it was tedious and time consuming? Regex can turn the solution from minutes of manual checking into seconds.

The queen mary 2 is expensive today because it is nothing but a luxury tourist trip. Back in 1950 when there was serious ocean liner travel, an ocean liner ticket was much less than a transatlantic flight. Trains were also substantially cheaper. It is only absurd today to travel long range by ship or by train because people overwhelmingly paid a premium for faster travel to the point that the market for the other methods collapsed.

Can you imagine, for example, someone getting their hands on `apple.com` or `icloud.com`. They could wreak havoc since a lot of iDevices use those two domains in order to function and you could pwn many devices if you were determined enough. I imagine MM solves the 10-year time window problem by ensuring the domain lives well on into the future. It's what they do.

What you're saying is that somehow we should have continued doing things that didn't work at all, whereas GDPR actually got companies to care at least a little (seeing from both inside and outside). Yet you insist that instead of doing anything, we should think of the big pie in the sky and continue doing the same not-working alternatives.

Meanwhile (various other) nanny states spent way more, lost billions thanks to lockdowns, and people still died.

The NYT cares about MMT and socialism, not about Covid-19.
Mathematics is full of cases where the same notation means different things. You’ve kind of dodged the question of what 0^0 is by talking about set theory, because it is (in some sense) arbitrary that X^Y means Y -> X or its size (cardinal exponentiation), and in analysis may mean exp(y log x). We accept that for natural X,Y except (0,0) these must agree but that does not imply that they should agree at (0,0), because the definitions are simply not the same.

If you are serious about math, which it seems you are, I would be a bit more careful about “transporting” notation from one field from another and arguing about correctness.

The usual way to transport a definition from a discrete domain to a continuous one is a technique called analytic continuation. I am curious if there is an analytic continuation of the discrete X^Y which contains 0^0=1, and what that would look like, but at that point you’re definitely not talking about exponentiation any more.

It's funny to observe how in these nationalistic debates about great figures in history, it's always Germans arguing that the person in German, Poles arguing that the person is Polish, Slovenians arguing that the person in Slovenian, etc. If these were honest debates, there might be a Pole arguing that the person is German, a German arguing that they're Slovenian, and a Slovenian arguing that they're Polish.

The most bitter debate I've ever seen of this nature is about the nationality of Copernicus. He lived in Royal Prussia, an autonomous dependency of the Kingdom of Poland. His native language was German, but he wrote in Latin, and he's known by the Latinized form of his name. He studied in Bologna. So was he Prussian, Polish, German or could Italy perhaps claim him? Or does none of this matter, because he was born long before the age of nationalism?
