That doesn't mean Spotify has to help him out. They do promote his show, as well as provide hosting, and manage subscriptions for 181,000 users.
The registrar's job is to facilitate the transaction for the domain, charge you for renewals, and give you a way to assign the authoritative name servers. For that purpose GoDaddy works about as good as any other registrar. You can debate the merits of GoDaddy as a company on [oh so] many levels, remark on their absolutely terrible user interfaces, and certainly discuss their sleazy practices, but none of this is an indicator of ineptitude on the part of the purchaser. Having a slick user interface around what amounts to a Purchase Domain button and a text box for setting name servers isn't terribly exciting or something I care about, and GoDaddy covers a very large swathe of the available TLDs (though certainly not all of them), so managing many related domains across TLDs with a single account is appealing.

All that said: If the startup is using GoDaddy's name servers or certificates (but not their hosting), that actually is a pretty good indicator of ineptitude.

And if a startup is using GoDaddy _hosting_, that is completely indefensible. No startup should be on that sort of shared web hosting, GoDaddy or otherwise. You spin up the VMs, containers, functions, or PaaS (ie Heroku, Firebase) service of your choice in the cloud. Hell, put it on IPFS, host it on a push CDN, distribute it via a data: url. Pretty much anything would be better.

You don't build software at your startup and all this sounds complicated? Then perhaps consider SaaS solutions like GSuite, Shopify, Squarespace etc.

GoDaddy's hosting is unfit for any purpose.

No, I would never say all criticism is invalid. I think it's a relevant and important text to read, along with criticism of it. Nothing should be taken in isolation, scholarship is ultimately a conversation at a high level between knowledgeable parties, and it's a pretty dated book in a lot of ways. Nonetheless it was extremely influential and solid as a basic leftist history text, and he even acknowledges its bias in the preface and title as I've mentioned. I don't by half think it's a perfect book and I have a lot of criticisms of Zinn.

Congrats, you don't get encrypted because you're not a member of a tightly regulated militia.

Sarcasm aside, the only way to make sure people get encryption is to make it impossible to restrict the technology. That's how encryption ended up spreading. You don't put disruptive tech on every computer on the planet by waiting for permission.

No, because the organized environmental movement is convincing us that putting solar panels on our roofs and driving electric cars are somehow going to save the planet, when they won’t even make a tiny dent! Yet we are all expected to pay out the ass in tax rebates to subsidize these boondoggles.

I support rational and efficient energy policies, but our current system is bonkers! For example I got a 25% tax rebate replacing my skylight because it has a tiny solar-powered shade on it. The installer even joked to me that the $4k off the light was a scam! How is this helping the climate again?

This isn’t how digital ad inventory works. Advertisers don’t bid to win a slot that all viewers of a particular video will see. They bid to win a view. A million views on one video, or the same million impressions split across a thousand videos doesn’t change the supply/demand equation like you suggest. Buying an ad on the most popular video isn’t like buying an ad on the Super Bowl, because not all viewers are seeing the same ads.

That's not the way distribution and licensing contracts work.
Focusing on skin and eye color seems imprecise and really, why even bring it up? DNA mutations or markers spread in a population. Then some members of that population travel to distant lands and intermarry (or not, maybe just die,) and spread their DNA mutations around and then die. Hundreds of year later someone sequences the DNA and says, hmm, here's a marker for X population but I found it in territory Y indicating that people moved around or were taken as slaves so there was a lot more mixing than history expects.
Does your theory about the original Britons imply some direct-from-<some continent> migration? If so you'd expect markers for populations on that continent to be present in historical samples without the associated markers associated with a migration via a more lengthy route. So let's test for that which will either prove or not-prove the theory and leave the silly adjectives for twitter.

I'm not an expert in this, but isn't this just a really extra lossy type of battery? Hydrogen takes energy to create, so if you're creating hydrogen from renewable energy sources during peak load, you have to go energy -> hydrogen -> energy with efficiency losses both ways. I remain unimpressed by hydrogen, as it seems to only be practical if you don't any other options for existing stores of energy. For instance a large scale battery system, or even some mechanical energy storage systems.
Seems interesting enough...
"Too cheap to meter" was never a promise. It is a quote taken out of context that was facetious and never meant to be taken literally.
You are using vastly more energy than a hunter gatherer did, or someone in the Middle Ages. Where do we draw the line? Isn’t it unfair that you use a computer, air conditioning, TV, etc. when you don’t really need it? And what happens when every other human uses as much power as Western citizens do? It’s quite hypocritical to say it’s ok for you, but not for the rest of the world.

I say, we should have as much power as possible, generated as cleanly as possible, and the lowest possible cost. This is how we move society forwards.
Spotify is buying but Joe choose that path too. I understand the concern but maybe there is something about the market that makes selling to a closed ecosystem more attractive?
I am posting this because there seems to be a large misunderstanding about the Alex Jones episodes being "removed" by Spotify. I am also going to give you a warning. I am going to post a link to Infowars, yes, that Infowars. It is one of the few sources that actually attempts to clarify the story behind the "removed" episodes. If you are a reasonable person, you would take this opportunity to reevaluate the sources you listen to that have been pandering to their readers about how controversial Joe Rogan is and question why these sources weren't interested in actually getting to the bottom of the removed episodes instead of causing sensationalism.

Here it is, according to Alex Jones [1], the reason why certain Joe Rogan episodes were removed from Spotify is because Joe Rogan gets to keep hosting his favorite 100 episodes on Youtube. A shrewd business decision as Spotify gets time to decide how to handle the Alex Jones episodes and Joe gets to have his most profit making episodes still on Youtube. Now, ask yourself, why is it that this news is coming from such a controversial figure? You may call him a racist, bigot, transphobe, xenophobe, or whatever. But you can't deny that the media failing to actually report on the story and the real story coming from Alex Jones just adds credibility to all his other views. Be it Sandy Hook, George Soros, or psychic vampirism.

And only 3 standard deviations is actually a disability?
As stated, that is "at most". A usual UPS is 80-89% efficient.

Even still, assuming they were 90% efficient, is it worth the extra 10% energy consumption just so you can run your computer for 1 hour at night when the solar energy provider ups their rate? You still need to consume the additional energy in the day to charge the battery.

For me to label it efficient, I'd be looking for 95%+, but 99% would be preferable.

Remember, this efficiency declines as the battery ages. You only get a few years of efficient use before it declines significantly. Then you have a disposal problem. A typical UPS uses lead-acid batteries, the same type used in cars. They're not environmentally friendly.
Burn the hydrogen in combustion turbines, just like natural gas.

You repeat an excuse, but nuclear builds have failed, and continue to fail, not because of regulation, but because of the high unforgiving complexity of nuclear power plants. The post mortems at huge cost overruns point to management failures, not new regulations sprung out of nowhere.

"In answer to a question I posed to Nuscale at the town hall we have learned that the plan to save costs by fabricating the modules at a remote factory and shipping them to the Idaho site has been abandoned. The artful response to my question said that Nuscale engaged with approximately 40 … pressure vessel fabricators worldwide and … determined that Nuscale will use existing factories … in lieu of building its own factory.

The major module subcomponents will be manufactured at multiple manufacturer locations and shipped to a single location for assembly prior to installing into the facility.” This signifies the failure of one of the major cost-saving features of the Nuscale project, which was to forestall this exact scenario."
Hmm, I'll admit that this is the first time I've heard of the ECS pattern. So I'm not too familiar with your argument. From your description, and from various links discussing the pattern, it seems like an adequate solution to the problem I posed.

I would argue that an ECS is quite far removed from what the original article was talking about however. But perhaps the original article was too superficial in its discussion of DOD.

I haven't personally, but you will find multiple writeups googling for "movfuscator ctf writeup" etc.
The ruling elite of Kievan Rus was originally all Scandinavian, speaking Old Norse, and holding to their customs. This was still the case when they conquered Kiev. But then they gradually intermingled with the local Slavic nobility, switched to Eastern Slavic as the native language, and adopted the local names.

It's the bit about the names that's most telling, IMO. If you follow the Primary Chronicle (the earliest source on this), the first rulers of Rus were Rurik, Oleg, Igor, Olga, Svyatoslav, and Vladimir. The first four names are unambiguously Slavic adaptations of Scandinavian names: Hrorekr, Helgi, and Ingvar. Svyatoslav is an unambiguously Slavic name, but if you deconstruct it, its constituent parts are "holy" and "glory", which correspond to the earlier names Helgi and Hrorekr, respectively - so it's quite possible that it was deliberately constructed as a subtle translated reference. And then Vladimir is a purely Slavic name (Waldemar is a Norse / High German cognate, but it was derived from Vladimir, not the other way around).

As a long time listener I will go to bat for Joe's show, he is a loving, rational, open person, and he simply does not platform hateful people or not challenge unjust statements.

Some media, political actors, and certain people who don't listen to his show want to spin him as a hate speech alt-righter, especially now on this election year since he platforms Bernie and Tulsi but is against Biden.

Find the amount of baseless slander against him disturbing.

I have two applications in the wild— one a monorepo with a rails API and front end built with deploy scripts, and one with rails Webpacker. The Webpacker one feels like I have an arm tied behind my back. There’s a bunch of ‘Rails way’ extras I have to do to keep things ‘organized’, but I don’t even get proper state-maintaining hot reloading in dev. It does smooth over some rough edges (though through magic) but the next one will probably prefer the self-management strategy.
Of course it's worth it. Losing 10% of the energy in storage is close to trivial, particularly if that energy is otherwise curtailed excess production. It would be worthwhile to use far less efficient storage for long term load leveling, if the capital cost were low enough. Hydrogen with cheap electrolysers and combined cycle turbines might have a round trip efficiency of 33% -- and that would be GREAT as a last component for getting to a fossil-fuel free grid, particularly at high latitude.

> The law doesn't care about your intent.

This isn't correct. The law in most modern democracies, as far as I'm aware, is very concerned with intent.

This why we generally define murder and manslaughter as distinct.

Murder is the unlawful killing of another human without justification or valid excuse, especially the unlawful killing of another human with malice aforethought.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder

Manslaughter is a common law legal term for homicide considered by law as less culpable than murder

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manslaughter

Murder vs manslaughter is the extreme example, though you'll find courts are broadly quite concerned with intent.

I watched this sentence unfold with bated breath, waiting to yell "and ze sticks the landing!", only to see it end with "goods" instead of "cargo". It's frustratingly close to perfect, though perhaps to end the paragraph with "cargo", you'd have to begin with some synonym for cargo culting.

> these diversity (and inclusion) discussions are not related to discrimination laws and equal opportunity.

FWIW, that's a claim that doesn't quite match my experience at work, nor of talking to some of the people who implement these programs. Though to be clear, we were talking about widespread mandatory company-wide meetings, not any old discussion on inclusion that happens to occur while at work. We may need to get more specific about which programs we're talking about, they're certainly not identical everywhere. It also doesn't seem to add up when I read our current laws, which are changing over time to emphasize.

> In order to achieve this, companies are activity discriminating against non-minorities, which some may call positive discrimination.

The historical term for this is affirmative action (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affirmative_action), and the idea is to temporarily increase benefits for a disadvantaged group, not to intentionally decrease benefits for the advantaged group. Calling it discrimination, therefore, is a framing that isn't always true, and is somewhat political. It's not always true because things aren't always zero sum. If I choose to give someone a dollar, you don't lose a dollar.

If there really are a fixed number of jobs at a company that is 80/20 men, and the company decides 30% must go to women, then technically yes, that is a form of discrimination. But - just hypothetically - is it a negative discrimination if the reason that the company is 80/20 men in the first place is because it previously discriminated against women, and would have been 50/50 without several decades of history of unspoken discrimination?

It's important to also think about a few things- One, that unlike social prejudices, affirmative action is not intended to be permanent. It's intended to help boost people who've been unfairly and systematically disadvantaged, while they're disadvantaged, and only until things even out. After that, the boost should go away by design. Two, that some of those disadvantages in history have been really extreme, and the kind of discrimination you might imagine you feel when your company tries to hire more women isn't the same order of magnitude of what women and black people as a whole have gone through.

> Regardless, it's discrimination nonetheless and it's very common yet somehow nobody cares.

Is all discrimination bad always? I'm very discriminating about my partners. I'm not sure that nobody cares, I think some people are in favor of seeing that gender and racial injustices actually go away, since not doing anything about it hasn't worked yet.
There is hope. With the help of then-senator Al Gore, the CIA made photographs available to researchers it had made of the polar regions to search for soviet nuclear installations. They became valuable for climate research later on.
Is that bad? We have separate men's and women's sports for physical reasons, right or wrong I could understand being concerned about folks crossing those boundaries and gaining an advantage in sport.
Fair point. I still think pre-existing sterilizing immunity is unlikely, since (to my non-biologist's understanding) antibodies tend to be specific, and T cell immunity is broader but not usually sterilizing. The existence of those unlucky groups isn't conclusive evidence in itself, though, especially if pre-existing immunity is distributed non-uniformly (which it probably is, if there's some genetic basis, or if different strains of common cold coronavirus swept through different regions last year and primed people's T cells differently).

Of course non-sterilizing immunity could still be incredibly valuable. They're speculating that the current vaccine candidates may not cause sterilizing immunity[1], but immunity that turns a fatal illness into a bad cold (or a bad cold into a couple of sniffles) is great, whether naturally pre-existing or from a vaccine.

It's not really identity politics when Rogan is the one calling out the identity groups. Maybe not all trans* people have the same opinions or identify strongly as a group, but when Rogan calls them a social contagion, claims they have an ideologically-driven agenda, and says "Maybe if you live with crazy bitches all the time, they fuckin' turn you into one?", it's not that weird that they would have a uniformly negative response.
It no longer has an IQ component. (This is described in the article).
Do you have a link to that aggregator?
Yes. The advantage of hydrogen is the extremely low cost per unit of stored energy. That is the cost you want to minimize for a storage case with few charge-discharge cycles, like rainy day or seasonal storage.

For diurnal storage, batteries or other more efficient storage technologies would make more sense, since there would be more charge-discharge cycles over which to amortize the cost of the system.
