> I suppose I'm part of some irrelevant market segment they don't care about. So it's not just a service problem.

That is exactly what a service problem looks like. The service problem is caused by having strong copyright available to large corporations that can use it as a profit optimization tool. The role of copyright should be to protect small content creators, but that is not how it is implemented.
I actually tried out Finnish-Japanese girl names just to take a look. There were some pretty good bilingual ones, like Erika, Mari, Marika and Sara.

However, there was quite a bit of names that I'd be really hesitant to use. Aili, Alisa, Elina, Lina, Lumi. If you know a thing or two about Japanese, you might realise a common failure with these names.

There was also the user suggestion of "Minna". It seems that it's really a feminine name in Japanese, but at least to me it seems kinda awkward as a name for an individual person.

Also, I'm not really sure if Finnish and Japanese are "indirectly related". As far as I know, it's just that they sound similar for reasons unknown.

It's not quite as bad as it seems. We have had a vanishingly small number of breakages as we upgraded from early verions of Kubernetes. Mostly just tweaking a few resources where the API got promoted from beta to stable.

Yup. I'd been a relatively happy HBO Now user for years, but just canceled because they recently inexplicably broke playback on Linux browsers (which had worked properly for years). I had a useless back-and-forth with a customer service rep about how increasing friction like this -- especially with someone who is perfectly willing and able to pay for the service -- just drives people to piracy.
>the modern origin of Relativity is rooted in Poincaré's work,

And Poincare never developed it from first principles, elevating the speed of light being fixed in all frames. Poincare only noted that this was a solution to Lorentz invariance.

Einstein did take this as a first principle, and demonstrated what follows: time dilation (something completely alien to all before him, including Galileo). He then derived E=mc^2 from relativisitic momemtum (another completely alien concept to those before him).

> and it's deeper origins first appears nearly 300 years earlier in the 1632 Galilean Invariance, aka Galileo's Theory of Relativity

Galieo's view of the word is that velocities add, which Special Relativity shows to be incorrect. Galileo's theory of relativity is that the laws of physics are the same for all observers, which no one claims Einstein created.

Galileo had zero idea that velocities are sub-additive.
Just FYI, played with this for a while with a screen reader, and it even seems mostly accessible. If it has issues, they seem to be fixable issues. I feared painting the whole UI with WebGL on canvas, which would kill accessibility completely, but fortunately we have none of that.

Of course, a screen reader doesn't notice the sci-fi style (except the sounds), but the framework seems usable.
A few million?

$90 Million is the current cost of a reusable Falcon Heavy[1].

Even if you cut that in half, that's still 10's of millions more expensive than flying a 747 between two destinations.

For comparison, it costs - on the high end - $27,000 per hour of flight to operate a 747[2]. For a 12 hour flight, that's ~$324,000 of cost, or about 0.72% of the fictitious $45 Million-Per-Launch "Starship".

There is no reality where flying a rocket is cheaper than an airplane.

Does RFC 1035 specify that the master zone file format must be used to provision DNS service?

If it does not, then RFC 1035 just happens to specify both the DNS protocol and a canonical ASCII serialization of DNS zone data.
While that does freak me out, I'm also somewhat disturbed by the idea of leaving no trace in the universe.

In today's world there is a lot of information about us that has been recorded. In some sense we're not completely forgotten because, at least in modern societies, we have birth records, death records and all manner of other details collected about us... mentions in newspapers, pictures, video clips, etc. But there will be some point in the future where all these details will inevitably be lost and all trace of our personal existence will be unrecoverable. In some ways that's sadder than anything I can think of.

I think of ancestors who were born before the advent of any sort of record keeping now are nothing more than nameless ghosts. Their only record may be some small fragment of DNA, and even then there's no guarantee that any of it was passed on after enough generations.
If you want to run your business as as start-at-the-bottom business, then run it as a sole proprietorship. Then the incremental annual costs outside of some initial start-up costs are near zero. You'll probably still have to apply for a business license in the place where your office resides, which might very well be your house.
Not true, they didn't have any special research access. There was an app called "This is your digital life" that was just a personality quiz that they used to scrape data. At this point facebook would let you access data about a users friends in detail when the user would authorize it (via these apps).

Also facebook killed this long before the Cambridge Analytics scandal broke. It also enabled some really cool features like their graph search where you could run queries like "people in X town that like football", but it also let you run very creepy queries to stalk people, which is why it got canned.

Microservice Clients Without Mocks, Part 1: HttpClient [video]
By computing freedom, I mean the ability to run whatever software we want on our machines. I didn't mean it in the free software sense.

> Even without that unfortunate legal wrinkle, the response by the industry has been to close down hardware platforms and transform their existing software into SaaS. In a few years, for instance, Macs will run only macOS -- enforced by hardware and the DMCA. I have no reason to believe PCs won't follow suit shortly thereafter.

That's exactly what I mean. I don't want such a future. I want open platforms that aren't owned by the manufacturer. We have free software because programming is an accessible activity: all we really need is git, a text editor and a compiler. Hardware is different: we can't fabricate our own computers and factories cost billions of dollars.

Free software is meaningless if the hardware doesn't allow us to run it.
It seems unlikely it's on VT:

But if you are an online company with even just customers in California or a single employee, the CA tax board will chase you to the ends of the earth to get their $800 minimum franchise tax. That is whether you make a single dollar or not. Doesn't matter if you live there, are registered there, or have offices there. If you have an employee or a minimum level of sales or even contractors in CA, they want the greater of $800 annually or a tax on the proportion of profit made from California customers.
This is my main issue with it. If Microsoft say, added something to your host file, that blocked all ad trackers except from the Microsoft network, everyone would be up in arms. But since it's Apple, people think this is out of the goodness of their heart when really they just want all the data for themselves which they will eventually use in their in-app advertising. Heck maybe they will use this to subsidize any losses they gave from eventually having to lower their 30% fee.
Go back and look at the George Floyd protests in Minneapolis around May 30 - people were protesting peacefully the day after the incident (the most disruptive thing I saw was blocking intersections and some graffiti), but cops broke out the tear gas. That heavy-handed behavior in my view led directly to the full on riot the following day. (There's also an allegation that a right wing provocateur got things going by smashing the windows of an Autozone store, but I'm not sure how much of a causal role that played, and think the riot would probably have happened anyway).

Certainly, this is not always the case as local and temporal contexts vary widely. Some riots are spontaneous, some are planned to target state property or force its defense, some are engineered to exploit chaos for profit. You might find it informative to drop in on one if it is occurring in your area; counterintuitively it's not particularly dangerous to attend as a neutral person, though you should be prepared for the possibility of being tear gassed.

> given the awful placement of the coils and motors of fridges.

Oh, man. So much this. The refrigerator that came with my house, a circa 2006 Samsung, has coils that grow ice. The (evaporator?) fan is positioned in such a way that the ice eventually grows into the fan blades. First it makes a super-annoying scraping sound, then the temperature in the fridge slowly creeps up to unsafe levels.

The fix only takes about an hour. You have to remove the back panel and defrost the coils with a hair dryer. I've done it a couple times now.

It boggles my mind that we can't have nicer appliances. I'd certainly be willing to pay more at this point in my life, but I have zero confidence I wouldn't just be paying more for the same trash.
I think it would be a nice addition to rank the names. At the top would be ones that work really naturally in both languages. Lower down would be names that work naturally in one language but only work OK in the other.

Naturalness might be tricky to define, though. Really common names are probably natural by definition, but uncommon names may also be natural. For example, Roman isn't a common name, but it's natural.

Another thing to take into account is if there is a more natural equivalent. For example, it is OK in English to name someone Antonio, but Anthony is the more-English version.

One of the core issues is whether you're looking for names that occur in both languages by coincidence or ones that have been borrowed because of cultural overlap. Maybe you're looking for a name that both cultures understand, or maybe you're looking for a false cognate that just happens to work in both languages.

Not so fast:

1. 170wh/kg cells were on the market for a few years (held them in my own hands,) and, allegedly, 200wh/kg cells are to come.

2. The lower gravimetric cell energy density is compensated by lower cooling requirements, higher volumetric density, and bigger maximum cell sizes.

3. LFP survive fast charging, and deep charge/discharge much better, and have more much better cycle life than anything else. This reduces the need in overprovisioning dramatically.

All of this translate in quite good battery pack specs, and much lower cost.

This is not a slight towards the OP, I’m just opening up for discussion.

I think this is a great example of how we tend to default to algorithms and automation even when the problem is better suited to a more manual solution. This is especially problematic when our automated systems don’t allow for transparent human intervention (think ML classifiers etc.). If this page were a curated wiki, for example, it’d probably have had a number of additions / corrections suggested by the community already. People are certainly posting corrections in this very thread, at least.

Maybe the lesson is, use automated data as a seed and let humans iterate on that?

I've done some previous digging into natural language SQL queries -- there's a good amount of research around this. But the error rate is always too high for useful production deployment and the systems I've looked at never handled ambiguity well. The target user for this is someone who knows nothing about SQL so ambiguity is guaranteed.

Most importantly, you can't have the system confidently answer incorrectly.

I just tested this query to evaluate joins: "What is the name of the series with the highest rating?" The answer: 5.8 :/

A typical user will be even less clear than this, asking the question as: "What's the top tv series?"

The ideal system should be able to confirm with the user that 1) they'd actually like to evaluate tv series based on rating. And 2) it should be able to guess without user confirmation that I really want the 'name' of the tv series.

It's a hard problem but massively valuable if it can be solved.

There is an obvious reason: Donald Trump paid more money than anyone else in the history of youtube advertising, and so his ads win all the bids and show up in all the places. But it's just been so long now, that they would have been able to catch it and end it, if they really cared. Just figure out where the money enters the system, and block it. If it's more complicated than suspending a single campaign worker's account, then that's newsworthy and should be reported on.

Hi Everyone - I know there's a lot of prose in the responses below, but you may discover a lot about the entire patent system (especially business method and software patents) and the issues startups have to deal with, by checking it out.

My responses are not to take sides, but so that you get the challenges in light of the patent system as it really works. Already I've gained a lot of insight from your responses.

Please keep your responses coming. I'd love to hear some anecdotal info or studies showing the problems with software patents.
Visibility (logging, monitoring, etc) trumps testing IMO in terms of coding productivity, especially when you don’t understand the domain fully yet. Testing utility increases when code matures and becomes more stable.
I disagree. I think the article is one in a long series which show clearly that the guy is investigating some different aspects of refrigeration systems and has an appreciation for the historical development of the technology plus current issues. He's briefly summarizing current issues in an opinionated way, and I think he does a pretty good job. I think he perhaps has less insight in to other areas such as manufacturing costs and consumer appliance supply chain and logistics concerns. Government energy efficiency metrics can be gamed and do not tell the full story.
My son got the Hungarian middle name, but we went with a Greek first name, partly because it didn't map to our Hungarian family, but also something I thought my elderly father could pronounce, in his heavy accent.

This was a good while ago, but this discussion brought back the particulars of finding a good name.

This is basically why ingress isn't seen as a sexy way to integrate with Kube. Companies like F5 etc know they don't want to be a "swappable" ingress provider, so they create stickier solutions like custom operators. Additionally, most companies graduate from ingress to service mesh, or skip ingress entirely, so service mesh is the key business to capture and where most companies are targeting their efforts.

I think the parent's point was that paying someone to copy and transfer bits of data from one computer to another is weird and impossible to fully control and enforce. Paying someone for the act of creation itself is reasonable. While the current system uses the former as a sort of proxy for the latter, that's not the only current system, and it comes with some really bad side-consequences, like ever-expanding copyright terms, corporations as gatekeepers to content (who often end up profiting far more than the actual creator), and DRM leading to forever-locked/disappearing creative works.
Is a "digital content artist" and "gaming industry" even in the same category? This is an extremely large scope where I would be happy to see (for example) EA crash and burn, but do want creators to succeed. So generic an answers may be hard.
You misunderstood my point that the zone file design was originally implemented in JEEVES, which was the first DNS server written by Paul Mockapetris; it did not come from BIND. Other servers such as NSD and Knot and PowerDNS support standard zone files, and many other DNS tools use the standard presentation format for printing and reading DNS records.
> the German mathematician David Hilbert published them in an article before Einstein's article.

Not correct. Hilbert submitted a paper before Einstein, but the paper did not contain the field equations. After seeing Einstein's field equations, Poincare added them to his paper.

Also, Hilbert's paper didn't get published until 1916, after Einstein's.
