1035 is The DNS RFC. Using BIND's archaic zone file format is in no sense a requirement to interoperate with other DNS protocol servers.

You could argue that the IETF should have another RFC specifying the zone file format; what could be wrong with standardizing a file format? Standardize my iTunes Library database file while you're at it; that would help far more people.

But it has nothing to do with provisioning DNS service, and the claim that BIND zone files have any kind of special status is bogus, despite what 1035 mistakenly says.
The federal government charges nothing for an EIN to establish your corporate entity. It's the individual states which have turned corporate filings into an archaic profit center.

The most frustrating part is that in theory every state expects a business to file as a foreign company if you are "doing business" in that state, which by their definition usually includes selling your product to anyone living in the state, even if the sale is done online. However, I personally don't know of any small startups that actually do this, and accounting costs of filing that many state tax returns would be absurd.

Ask HN: Is anyone using FastCGI? What's your experience?
It seems everyone is using an application server of some sort sitting behind a proxy server nowadays.

But what about FastCGI? Let's say my web app is self-contained binary and I'd like to deploy it to a web server. I'd like to keep the binary running rather than use the start/stop approach of plain CGI. Is FastCGI a good alternative? Or it too complicated? The application server approach also feels like overkill. Or is it?

There seems to be surprisingly little info on FastCGI. The official website doesn't even exist any more, but you can find it via archive.org or via GitHub [1].

If you've used FastCGI using Apache, NGINX etc how did you find the experience? When would you recommend it?

My understanding is that the button toggles enablement of the sensor-driven wiper mode. If this is correct, it means every Tesla driver is betting their life and the lives of those around them that for every instance of something on the windshield blocking their view, either the sensor will accurately respond to it, or they will be able to navigate the touchscreen to activate the manual override before needing to react to developing conditions on the road. Given the reliability of automotive grade sensors (I’m not the only one who has paid mechanics a lot of money to tell me the sensor was bad right?) and the difficulty of interacting with touch screens, that’s not a bet I’d be willing to take. Looking at the German case, I wish more people were unwilling to take that bet.
Missing the point. Nobody is asking whether Jackson Pollock could code. The suggestion is that HN commenters are talking a big game about cutting-edge visual media, but they're not creating high quality visual art in such a way as to authenticate their specific opinions on other people's visual art.

I've worked pretty hard on producing video support for my live synth music, and have got better at it over time. Doesn't make me a painter, though. In many ways my stuff is pretty pedestrian compared to working video artists: I tend to go for your basic 'light show effects', crowd-pleasing stuff. My imagination as far as coming up with really novel environments… that's what could use some work.

no theft isnt infringement, the infringement happens when you distribute your product. the viewing experience is what is paid for by ticket, camming subverts the sale of the experience. if someone went into a strip club with a camera and recorded the live show thats theft as well. When the dancer produces thier own disk and distributes it thats in the same boat as a DVD release and any number of eyes can experience that video when the producer gets [guess ~ 50$- 100$] for a disk sale.

I think you're saying I didn't read the paper, because I didn't draw the same conclusions from it as you did after reading a blog post about it?

Again there's a simpler explanation: I read the paper and I drew different conclusions than you or your primary source. I give a very long explanation of why I drew those conclusions, above.

To clarify, I discussed the exact same subject a couple of weeks ago, I think, after reading the GPT-3 paper. I made my original comment in this thread without re-reading the paper, so I misremembered what was in it. Then I re-read the relevant section (3.9.1. Arithmetic) to refresh my memory and made the very long comment above. That's in the intereste of full disclosure and so you don't have any reason to assume I didn't read the paper, which you shouldn't anyway.
I did a similar thing for our kids (Hindi/English) but we had slightly different goals. Since the kids were getting my English surname, we wanted to give them Hindi first names, but we wanted them to be easily pronounceable in English. So I wrote a character-based ngram language model based on the US census count of names, and used that to score a list of Hindi names. I then improved it by adding a bunch of rewrite rules to collapse similar sounds together to "canonicalize" names before scoring them against the language model.

Finally we ended up with Riya for my daughter (which is pronounced the same as the English name Rhea) and Aarav for my son, which is pronounced the same as two of the most common English words, "are" and "of."

Edit: I was able to find the output from the girl's name list. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Vy1dQunG4iie4H67En9T...

Could you indulge me with any details? Not AWS or someone who works on k8s, I'm just always interested in war stories, and cloud providers "not working" is an interest too.
I'm actually very curious about this too. I dont often view political content on YouTube or really other sites (although I do discuss it a good bit on various sites and chat applications), yet whenever I open the YouTube app I my phone, there's a Trump ad pinned to the top or one before a video. All other ads are closer related to my actual search history.

For comparison other streaming apps I use tend to show me a mix of Trump/Biden ads, but YouTube seems to show exclusively Trump ones.

To me, this is the same as building a city. Does it destroy the previous view? Yes. Does looking at a city's skyline inspire awe? Yes. For me replacing one type of awe for another is net neutral.

I grew up in Vancouver, BC, Canada. From downtown Vancouver you can see many mountains. When looking at the city skyline it is back-dropped with these mountain ranges. The combination impresses me even more than either the city or the mountain range.

Similarly, I look forward to seeing satellite constellations and behind them the stars. I would love for my kids to look up and be comforted knowing they can easily contact any other person on the planet. I want them to see the satellite constellations as a monument to human creation (10th wonder of the world), and be inspired to join that technological journey. I also want to point out the stars behind the satellites and have them be humbled by the magnitude that is space and bring with it hope and wonder.

While these satellites should try to be the least intrusive as possible, I'm not sure we need to think of it as a zero-sum game.
Yes, I'm using it. It's still around, and is one of the most supported web technologies.

FastCGI is optional in my project, but it is one of the ways you can bolt it onto a web server.
True, on 17 July EKS announced k8s 1.17 GA, 1 May was k8s 1.16 GA, and 10 March for 1.15. They've been catching up.

But, being behind is expected from a SaaS offering of 3rd party software: it takes time to ensure you can deliver the quality of service your customers expect, and for 3rd party software you don't get a head start.
I tend to agree. I have a Model 3 and while it ostensibly has 300 miles of range, as a practical matter it's more reasonable to expect about 200. And There are definitely areas within my state (Oregon) that I don't choose to take my car because it's too easy to end up in a "gotta hang out an extra few hours at a destination charger" or "drive 100 miles out of our way to hit a supercharger" situation.

I would not want to live there either, just like I probably wouldn't enjoy living in an equally sublime Tadao Ando house. But in my opinion, Brasilia, regardless of its failure, is a sublimely beautiful work of architecture. I for one am glad it was built. I'm fairly certain it will serve [at some point in the future] as a 'blueprint' for a vocabulary of elements of architecture, in the same way that Vitruvius and classical orders played the muse for a resurgent European architecture.
and Kissinger won.. go figure..

But I digress..
Technically true, but I still feel consciousness continuity with these previous states of 'me'. And while I'm aware that fear of nonexistence is pointless and unactionable (because when I die there would be no more 'me', no more thoughts, so really no point to worry about something that I would never experience), that knowledge doesn't actually help with my primal fear of nonexistence.
Yes, but you need to do it manually and know someone willing to lend you the shares. There's no exchange I know of.
This seems like a poor equivalence when Facebook and Google aren’t allowed to run an App Store on iOS, and Apple also boosts News, Music and other services by bundling and exempting them from the 30% revenue cut that competitors are subject to. Overall, the big picture is Apple is leveraging their power of platform owner to advantage their other businesses at the expense of competition and ultimately the consumer.

The big money at stake in this particular change is ads promoting the installation of apps. Facebook’s current tracking allows them to show that a particular ad FB displayed resulted in spending on an app. Apple taking over this business with their own ad service is just another aspect of their efforts to capture an ever-expanding chunk of commerce that occurs on every iOS device. Keep in mind the context that Apple is banning apps for allowing users to use subscription services without paying Apple 30% of the subscription revenue.

For what it’s worth, Google is guilty of some of the same issues on Android. I hope any regulation cracking down on these abuses will be equally applied.
This type of FB app was gone long before the CA scandal broke. There were some really cool ones available, but plainly not worth the tradeoff in retrospect.
i like how you expanded physical card theft to general 'card fraud,' but didn't expand it to 'general' identity theft. in fact, why not expand it to just 'crime of any kind' and say a pin on your physical card will prevent your car from being stolen.
For me, sleep (when I'm not dreaming), is pretty much like death - your consciousness is just turned off. The only difference is that, with death, it's permanent. But, given that sleep is no big deal, I don't see why being dead should be.

Hm, quite the contrary experience, I've found that list to be mostly working.

Btw, a year ago I and my wife picked a name for our baby daughter, and the criteria for a name to 'work' in both English and Russian was high on the list. Her name is present in English / Russian list, so on basis of this one test I declare the service working correctly.
It seems like we have a pretty similar assessment.

This is an important problem; my parents decided to give us each two names while one of my uncles and his wife chose the “same name in both languages“ approach — for the first two kids, but were stumped and gave up for the third.

My wife and I had an n-ary problem — not just the languages of all of her and all of my relatives (about five) but also the country we were living in. We finally whittled it down to phonemes that pretty much everybody could pronounce (though vowels varied a lot) and just went with single-syllable names that were at least pronouncable.

English names are sort of in vogue, e.g. there are a surprising number of kids named “Kevin” in Germany at the moment.

>> A child that is learning addition will have a harder time with larger numbers and make more mistakes too.

GPT-3 is not a child. GPT-3 is a language model and language models are systemst that predict the next token that follows from a sequence of tokens. A system like that can give correct answers to arithmetic problems it has seen already and often, without having to learn what a child would learn when learning arithmetic.

A system like that can also give incorrect answers to arithmetic problems it has not seen already, or hasn't seen often enough and that will be for reasons very different than the reasons that a child will give incorrect answers to the same problem.

In general, we don't have to know anything about how children learn arithmetic to know how GTP-3 answers arithmetic problems, it suffices to know how language models work.
I will second “The Eighth Day of Creation” (which despite its cool title, has nothing to do with religion).

I can’t agree with your conclusion, though. It’s very clear she should have been awarded the prize, not Wilkins (who I think should not have received the prize even “in place of” Franklin). The book paints a picture of Wilkins not doing much more than management work and training Raymond Gosling (Franklin’s PhD student who did the actual work and probably should have won in her place, if not Chargaff or someone else).

Of course, the book also makes it very clear that John Randall told Wilkins one thing and Franklin something very different about their working relationship that caused their relationship to be very tense and Franklin to largely cut Wilkins out of her work. Why Randall did this and never clarified or why Wilkins or Franklin never sought clarification from him is unclear.

For me the lightbulb went off in college with NIS and NFS when I realized the network expects me to tell it my user name so I can mount my home directory. Before that point I thought of these systems as well designed, unhackable things - after all, they had real multitasking right? Not like the dinky DOS machines I grew up with. But after that point the veil was lifted. And the older/more legacy a system was the worse it was.

That would be an ironically counterproductive response given that said war proved fixed fortresses damn near useless.

It's guns in general, exactly as you suggest. It turns even simple encounters like a traffic stop into potential life-or-death situations.

This is not the only issue with American policing (by far), but if the starting assumption is that people on both sides of encounters are in fear for their lives it's not surprising that we see a lot of bad decisions.
Fans of government enforcement always find this surprising. "We should pass this law so the government can stop child abusers! If we restrict it to child abuse it can't be used. We will trust the enforcers.". Some time passes and then the surprise "Wait, but all that guy did was smoke weed / share a movie / connect to a WiFi access point. Why is he being prosecuted under this law?". Typical, repeatable, thoroughly enjoyable to watch in its predictability. If only there was a way to profit off it.

The fun thing is that's pretty much how the classical composers worked in the past, just with a single/few rich patrons per artist rather than a number of people chipping in.
I think the complaint is about attribution. If a friend takes you to the park to watch the cranes and ducks, it would be a stretch to call them a great artist for facilitating that potentially sublime experience, because anyone could have taken you. Similarly Pollock's paintings may be aesthetic, but if they are easily imitated, it's hard to argue the works themselves make their author a great artist.

To be fair to Pollock, he had the creative insight to make his work in a less permissive period of art, so it's fair to argue he was a great innovator or artist on that merit, but it's a different type of achievement vs 'timeless' pieces of art like (imho) Bernini.
Boarding houses used to be fairly common, I'm not sure if this kind of regulation or something else drove them out of common use. The idea of not having to deal with cooking or meals out every night has a fair amount of appeal by itself.

For a progressive city that views itself no doubt as "believing science", it's pretty amazing they still stick these types of economic restrictions into law.
