Honestly, I never expected anything else to happen. With all these ads, loading bars, extremely high domain prices... of course people take all measures to drive prices up. There are even worse people (that are probably/hopefully not affiliated with Godaddy etc.) that just register interesting domains to sell them at some point to someone who actually uses the domain.

Domain name registration is quite broken and should probably be quasi-regulated in a way TLS certificate registration is.
>Of course, this ignores the issue of Google revenue. Advertisers targeted you, target you based on the videos you've watched. So there's that too. Google recommends videos for which it has relevant advertisers.

I think this is exactly the problem.

Contrast this with the recommendations I get from my paid spotify account where I don't get ads: It's absolutely Excellent. Seriously, whoever worked on Spotify's recommender system algo deserves a huge pat on the back. They have the best recommender I've encountered anywhere on the net, and I pay a lot of attention to recommenders. It's just light years ahead of everyone else.
The next layer that would put the realism off the charts is ML that's able to replicate a given speakers idiolect, not just their voice.

Mimicking people's ideolects is a hobby of mine, and I typed in phrases that Dr Phil would say, and the voice itself is good but the delivery is off enough that I know it's definitely not him.

Im sure it all get there one day.
I think there's a number of people upset it doesn't have any sequence breaks, is super linear, and much of the exploration is of the "guess and check" variety. https://youtu.be/FsZ9Bb4IW5s?t=1315
It’s a bit too simple to say the EU doesn’t create software startups. Some countries/cities do generate plenty of successful startups and some don’t. Just like most US states haven’t produced any successful startups
Forget political allegiance and let's be honest. By what metric is the blatantly hypocritical choice better?
I’m a software consultant at a large software firm. I make a reasonable amount of money per hour for my region and is around the going rate of a developer of 2-3 years of experience (Im only 2 years out of school). But my firm charges clients around 4x what they pay me hourly.
If my domains primary users are from USA, i would definitely register at Namecheap, but my primary users are from india. My understanding is that its better to register with local registrar(not godadday ofcourse) to avoid DNS latency, To my knowledge Namecheap does not have servers in india. I am new to domain registering and would appreciate your take on this issue. Thanks
In most other fields, there are far fewer eyeballs, because far less work is opensource.

If most/all CAD designs were opensource, you can imagine there would be projects underway to automatically "find all screws in the world that are too short to hold the design load". With enough projects of that nature, standards across the entire field will improve.
I used this trick and started getting responses and phone screens. These are companies you know and possibly respect.
>Valve Controller let's practically any game under the sun be couch & controller playable.

The Steam Controller is dead.

>I can play 60%+ of games on Linux because Valve cares way more than anyone else.

Steam OS is dead. The open source community is more responsible for Linux gaming than Valve. Valve has supported Linux in the (hilariously) limited number of titles they've released in the last decade, and has added some support to the open source community. They are not the driver behind Linux gaming.

>Remote Play, then Remote Play Together, now Remote Play Tablet blow everything else out of the water.

Steam Link is no longer in production. Legitimately, have you ever tried other remote play alternatives? There is just no way you can say this with a straight face. The Valve apps are truly crap.

>Steam is a technical juggernaut. No one else is even playing. Steam is super under appreciated

What? This isn't a difficult problem to solve. There are a dozen game libraries similar to Steam that do the same job, but significantly better. The only thing Steam has going for it is the DRM stickiness that they acquired by being the only player in the PC space for so long.

>Steam is innovating at the edge in radical ways, & they are always always always trying to spread the love, not steal the sunshine.

Legitimately, tell me how they are innovating in "radical ways."

This is comically absurd take that is utterly divorced from reality. Half of what you mentioned to love about Valve is related to canceled or abandoned stuff.
How large are those toxic fields of coal ash again?
Presumambly the PDF doesn't include the date because it is camera-ready copy for a journal (in this case the filename includes the year of publication).

In general, I'd say people are sloppy about this because publishing is like a super-public form of notarization, which has the effect of placing the name of the article into public indices and databases, most importantly the list of contents of that journal. It's not that people don't care about the date—it's that they have no difficulty finding out what it was.
Yup. This is worthy of a top comment. That’s exactly how it works. Things will never get better if everyone keeps ostracizing people they disagree with. My family is Republican, Libertarian, and Democrat. No greens yet, but it wouldn’t surprise me. We have great conversations and no one thinks anyone is Hitler or Pol Pot. I really hope the current zeitgeist dies a quick death.
Not to mention, industrial chemical processes in general.

Toxic waste requiring indefinite safe storage is the default state. Spent nuclear fuel is actually nice here in a way, because in some cases, it's a self-solving problem (dangerous stuff decaying into less dangerous stuff over time).
If they are actually front running it's probably for single word dictionary domains. They're not going to register everything people search for.
A search for "Malouf" on the FCC registration website provided no matches. Most likely this product is not registered.

In addition, this product lacks a CE mark and has no UL/FM/CSA listing. I'm curious what creepage/clearance requirements were factor into the design. This product is potentially dangerous if the relay is switching line voltage.
I mean, I was using FSF GNAT in 2018. And a few years before that, and some after it. I have a hard time imagining an experience even remotely described as unusable.

I do wish AdaCore didn't leave the compiler situation so confusing. It's just enough to be a consistent distraction.

Basically they all come from the same source. The GPL version gets a yearly release that, afaik is basically the commercial one (presumably not including anything customer specific). FSF then has a bit of a more ambiguous relationship with the GPL version, but AdaCore maintains that too. Probably around 2018 I think there was more effort being put into eliminating any remaining differences between the GPL and FSF versions.

They also have some further libraries that are available. At least some (maybe all? I don't know) are available under the GPL too. I have no idea how the pricing on that stuff goes. That strays from the compiler side of things though.
It’s actually nothing like that because nobody’s expecting Nvidia to support the functionality, just not block the software from even trying. You could solve it by literally just adding a disclaimer pop up that “this functionality is not supported on your GPU, would you like to try anyway?”.

Dyslexia also has an IQ component which means those with low IQ are not dyslexic even if they otherwise have the same symptoms.

Perhaps the definition needs to change?

Note the above is from the article which is focused on the UK. It could be different in other countries.
Can you do .gs as well please?! I moved almost all my remaining domains from GoDaddy to you guys a few years back, but you don't take .gs - so I'm still lumbered with GoDaddy for those!
Another dyslexic here, I completely agree with your assessment of the situation and while the article mentions it I don't think it fully grasps it. The definition of dyslexia is basically any difficulty reading that isn't associated with intelligence, eyesight, or education. It is an umbrella definition for a wide variety of both named and unnamed conditions. Of course there isn't going to be a universal way to treat dyslexia because there is not one single cause. Spending extra effort focusing on teaching a dyslexic student is going to help because extra direct teaching to any student is going to help them learn.

Everyone learns slightly differently and that is even more true for students with learning disabilities. A one size fits all approach doesn't work whether we are talking about dyslexic students or the entire student population.
I think there's a category or two where it makes sense:

- fitness videos

- music

- how-to & instructional videos
And if someone even mentions the idea of creating exactly this service -- baby pictures and friends' contact information can be exported from Facebook and imported into such a service -- a torrent of HN commenters would decry "fail" before they even tried it. Tech bloggers and "journalists" would also inject doubt into the minds of their readers. To get to where you want to go, you would need to ignore the critics. To accomplish what you describe, there is no necessity that every user logs in to the same network. Each network would only need to contain family and friends. Connecting one network to another would be optional. You are not asking to be in a graph with the entire world, to be connected to total strangers. Yet that is precisely what FB is constantly trying to achieve. Every person's information collected in a single database controlled by a single entity. One "social" network for everyone. Hence you are connected to people and companies you do not know, who are not your friends or family. Your behaviour can be studied. The ads, marketing and misinformation can flow freely.

And #4 almost 50% of the land is under federal control and thus California state govt has very limited influence and ability to ask for burning that.
> your company’s practices are helping a political party steal an election

Nobody is stealing anything, as the rules are set right now influencing public opinion through media channels is not seen as "stealing". If the powers that be were to physically alter the votes and the voting process that would be another discussion, but almost everything presented in the media is fair game.
Not getting it is not the same thing as immune.
There is no way around it. Either [insert technology name] works for bad guys and good guys alike, or it does not work for bad guys and good guys alike. You can't make technology follow morals.

The moral panic almost inevitably tilts the scales towards [insert technology name] not working for anyone, rather than allowing bad guys use it publicly. So bad guys use it privately, and good guys... well, they can also use it privately, if they are tech-savvy enough. Otherwise, tough luck.
You know what? You might be even able to implement this in Rust!

index = num(-1->1000);

or something. :D

I dunno how attributes would work, but man, they really are handy. It is very, very difficult to shoot yourself in the foot.
Actually nuclear plant have been designed for a minimal lifespan of 40 years. Most can be run safely 60, 80 or even maybe 100 years.

Renewables don't provide the energy density to power our industrial world. Simple as that.

Fossils emit much more pollution than nuclear in volume, and that will last arguably as long (CO2 we're dumping in the atmosphere will stay up there for millennia; coal ashes will remain toxic forever and we make megatons of them, not mere kilos).
> which you can't really do because of Xenon poisoning

Can you clarify this part? You mean that channging the power level of the reactor would cause Xenon poisoning?
Yes, in the same way a registrar would redirect a domain to an “expired” page during the non-renewal grace period.
It was “Mozilla gives up on …” before IIRC, the mods probably over-corrected the editorializing

I presume it's a slow feedback loop. It's always fine immediately after you do it, and I don't think brains learn very well from small mistakes we made years ago.
I don't really use FB all that much these days, because the people I care to keep up with have largely moved on from it. But when i do log in, I get mostly the experience you want with the https://www.fbpurity.com/ chrome plugin I've spent the time to heavily customize.

My timeline shows as strictly chronological, and only text and photos posted by my immediate friends. No groups, ads, publisher's bullshit, promoted things, no trending, no nothing. Just photos and plain text.
Facebook's algorithms exploit the brain's attractiveness to decisiveness. They've know this and have chosen not to take action, except for small amounts so Mark can tell congress they are improving things. Source https://www.wsj.com/articles/facebook-knows-it-encourages-di...

So besides straight up changing the algorithms to promote non-decisive
content, these are a couple things I think could help:

- Limit the spread of information in general in favor of content created by the people you follow

- Un-personalize advertising
Youtube's recommendation algorithm is just dumb, in my opinion.

At least half of the time on Youtube, I watch classical music, and you would think Youtube would recommend me some classical performances that I haven't yet seen.

Nope. It keeps feeding me exactly the same videos I've already watched, despite being basically the largest catalogue of classical music videos.

What's the point of a recommendation system if it doesn't even recommend new video of the same category I like? Might as well just shuffle my watching history.
Notion Introduces Roam-Like Backlinks
Well, strictly speaking, it has no dimensions as long as all possible states can be enumerated.

To give example, the board could just as well be arranged in a single line with more complex, but equivalent rules. Is it really 2D if it can easily be brought to 1D?

There are quite likely many other towers with the same vulnerability, the same potential breakage. Those will cause other fires when they break. There are multiple reasons why they should address those very old towers that haven't had maintenance, because they'll cause other fires.
They're examples of a US federal agency using malware to compromise the computer systems of suspects and collect evidence to use against them. If they're willing to exploit vulnerabilities in order to break into computers, surely they won't balk at denial of service attacks. They even let the suspect go free in order to avoid revealing the vulnerability they exploited.
> Dyslexia also has an IQ component which means those with low IQ are not dyslexic even if they otherwise have the same symptoms.

A person with IQ 100 (or whatever the mean IQ is) learning to read slower than average is different than a person with IQ 60 learning to read slower than average. You cannot completely remove the IQ component.
I would phrase it in the inverse. OOP implies some encapsulation/abstraction that you give up when you use sets of arrays instead.

It didn't - but most errors are simply tolerated because imperfect automation still has absurd economy of scale, very few applications are on a regulated field or have a well-defined quality standard to meet, and unreliable software tends to at least fail consistently, so it's still a win to diagnose and fix processes compared to humans making creative mistakes.
I doubt anyone freezes to death in the EU, US, Australia, and Canada because of loosing power in winter.
Ok, fine, they scan for bombs. So people shift to mailing sealed anthrax envelopes (which has happened). A public service is also going to be used by criminals, yet we do not expect the service to be shut down.
Hey Ted, I currently use google domains and while I'm pretty happy with that one service I would like to switch away from Google entirely and that is one of the last services of theirs I use. What case can you make for why I should switch to namecheap?

Regarding your first point, the relay has 2,000V of coil-to-contact isolation:

https://omronfs.omron.com/en_US/ecb/products/pdf/en-g5le.pdf

Though it does look like the clearance/creepage distances on the PCB to the low-voltage ground plane are not any wider than 2mm or so, which is acceptable for 120VAC, but not acceptable for 240VAC per IPC9592.

I wouldn't worry about sticking this in an enclosure and using it to turn a light on and off, but I wouldn't want to be handling it while it was live, either!

Regarding FCC/UL certification, a product is exempt from FCC certification requirements if it's "A digital device used exclusively as industrial, commercial, or medical test equipment", which most development boards are. I've got some dev boards from Microchip on my bench right now which aren't FCC or UL listed, either.
My two cents. You can use any registrar you like. Just need to update the nameservers to a DNS provider close to your user base (e.g. AWS Route 53 in India).
Nah... the problem is, I would remove the French layout from my user configuration, but Windows would randomly decide to re-add (and use) it. If I go to the languages menu in Control Panel, French would not be listed there. I'd have to add French, and then remove it again. But a few hours later the same bug would hit me again and I'm outputting accented letters all over the place.
It's small enough that it's not a concern and not something we should spend much effort worrying about. 105 is absolutely nothing compared to nearly 200k deaths in the US.

It's also a HUGE distraction to the real concern: We don't fully understand how contagious children are.
That seems rather sloppy to start with: you could easily end up a year or two out (the date that matters isn't the date of publication, it's the date that was in the author's head when they wrote something like "Twenty years ago").

In any case nowadays I think there's no excuse for this practice continuing. It's far too common for a paper to get sent around, or put on the author's personal website, with no associated date at all.

Facebook wants their employees to stop talking about politics, even though Facebook by its nature takes stances on deeply political topics. How exactly do you avoid political discussion when you're asking what constitutes hate speech, whether a US president should be allowed to violate Facebook's content guidelines, or to what extent governments can spread misinformation in other countries?

If you work at Facebook, your work directly or indirectly supports Facebook's political decisions. Facebook just doesn't want you to talk about it. Because Mark and the executives make the decisions, and you're just supposed to follow orders. This is how it works at many other companies. But for a long time, Facebook was able to recruit people to work their by promising that they could 'change the world' and 'make a difference.'

Side note: One of Facebook's board members apparently enjoys the company of white supremacists. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24444704 Will Facebook employees be allowed to talk about that? If you work at Facebook, how do you feel about that?
