Sometimes it's about signalling strength, or dealing with a market that's not just consumers under 30. In those cases, I think the customers do 'care', or at least get some conveyed vibe from it.

Getting sales from big corps, for example, is often partly about your perceived current state of established-ness.
Further searching on the Van Halen M&M rider item led me to this gem:

As lead singer David Lee Roth explained in a 2012 interview, the bowl of M&Ms was an indicator of whether the concert promoter had actually read the band's complicated contract.

"Van Halen was the first to take 850 par lamp lights — huge lights — around the country,"Roth said. "At the time, it was the biggest production ever." In many cases, the venues were too outdated or inadequately prepared to set up the band's sophisticated stage.

"If I came backstage, having been one of the architects of this lighting and staging design, and I saw brown M&Ms on the catering table, then I guarantee the promoter had not read the contract rider, and we would have to do a serious line check" of the entire stage setup, Roth said.

It depends on the nature of the quantization of the gravitational field. If we expect the gravitational field itself to be quantized in a manner somewhat similar to the electromagnetic field, we may be able to detect quantum effects without the objects being particularly small. A good analogue is the photoelectric effect, which involves no superposition at all and can be observed even with macro amounts of energy involved.

I'm not a Rust user, but this sounds similar to the situation in Scala, where you can call Await.result to block the thread on a Future to get its value. The problem is that now, any callers of the function that blocks are blocking. So one form of coloring, "async", is converted to another, "blocking". You can use multithreading and synchronization to break of this trap, but now you're in the world we built all of this to escape in the first place.

I think this is similar to what the author is describing, in which case, I'd say that function color contagion is a feature of continuation passing style programming, and its sugared variants (futures, async/await), rather than being something that you can say absolutely about a language or a runtime.
You're right, but consider the hypothetical that instagram.com was squatted and they instead went with instagramapp.com or whatever. Today instagram.com would be very valuable for advertising and/or scamming purposes. Instagram would probably consider buying it for $500k, a drop in the bucket for them, just to get rid of the problem.

In Sweden we've "solved" this problem by a rule that says that if you incorporated the business XYZ then you're entitled to the domain XYZ.se. Incorporating requires $2500 in capital and you can't incorporate as "pizza" or any other common word, so squatting is not a problem there.

It's a catch-22.

"Cool" domains are expensive because they are scarce. They are scarce because having an expensive domain name signals to potential customers a more legitimate service/product.

If "cool" domains were abundant, there would be no demand to pay above market price for one.
We are lucky to witness a transformation of healthcare approach – “patients go after hospitals” concept has been shifting to “healthcare providers follow patients”. This is absolutely normal, as healthcare becomes more and more patient-centered. This post, actually, was written to let those healthcare providers, who are hesitating whether or not to purchase, or order development of, a dedicated CRM solution, that it is not something extremely difficult and that building a healthcare CRM software can substantially benefit both parties – medical institution and its patients

This sounds very similar to lot of invoice based cash advance services in India.
As invoices for recurring or one time services rendered to other companies are generally T+30 or even longer, small and mid size companies uses these invoices for getting cash in advance to keep their cash flow going. And the invoices are rated like loans based on how trusted the company who is being invoiced is.
It is a very interesting business I learned about only few years back but must have been in some form or other since when invoice like instruments began to be used.

I'm interpreting (disregarding possible narrator bias) OP as that the person who lost the claim bought a domain unrelated to their business other than it being the company name of a competitor, and redirected all traffic to their own company.

Are you interpreting it the same way as me? If so, yes the domain was indeed taken from the person squatting it (but actually worse than squatting, since it took you somewhere else than where you as a consumer wanted to go). And that's something I'm entirely ok with, and in fact applaud.

There a bunch of things that could be perhaps easier manufactured in space. For example, being in orbit provides a few conditions ideal for semiconductor fabrication - no terrestrial vibrations, high vacuum, microgravity and high cleanliness. Of course we still need to develop process that uses a minimal amount of water and power to make it viable in orbit.

>in a democracy popular opinion will force you to do things if you want to win the next election

Well, there's the problem with our type of democracy.

It boils down to a popularity contest instead of a competence one, so politicians will do or say whatever gets them re-elected instead of what's good for the long term being of the country/voters/society.

Much like the focus on the "next quarter" of CEOs, that ends up ruining companies long term at the expense of quick profits short term, politicians in the west focus only on the "next election" instead of major issues like housing, education, pensions, demographics, infrastructure, defense, immigration, all of which require long term planning to get right but nobody cares as they just keep kicking the can down the road and hope they won't be in the office by the time shit really hits the fan. And when the shit does eventually hit the fan, whoever will be in office will just blame the predecessors for knowing X was unsustainable and not having done anything about it. Rinse and repeat.
This discussion is following every discussion of online recipes. Let me add my own argument: When I am looking for a specific recipe I am not interested in the extra content. However, when I am following a person's recipe blog I want to have that extra content. Having just a feed of recipes is just not that interesting as a collection of stories and accompanying recipes. The stories make it personal and it's nice to get glimpses into the life of the person doing the cooking. As a blogger it's also more fun to share more than recipes - you are writing a blog after all, not just a cookbook. If the ad revenue rises as a result of that - it's a nice bonus.
The price of land vs. the house itself is really very dependent on the population density where one lives.

Land is quite cheap in many parts of say, Australia or Japan due to low population density, but in big cities the prices increase again.

I'm not saying this particular repair was hard, but in general you have to get lucky for an easy repair. I have ordered replacement parts a few times and found that it still doesn't work and I just wasted my time as well as money on new parts. When a brand new device is not too expensive and will be an upgrade over the one you are trying to fix, the choice to buy becomes more compelling.
A bit disappointing as it only has meat recipes. Also the recipes are weird.

There is almost no [commonword].com domain pointing to the most legitimate service/product. In many cases they are even worse, being spam source. So what is a cool domain after all ...
He does not explain the link the parent comment, no. But one could guess that he thinks of domains as private ownership and something you can steal. However, that view on domain is very problematic, as you have to renew it which indicates a right to use under specific terms, even for .com domains. The terms are just different for different domains, which is not too controversial.

Private ownership becomes more and more challenged these years. The original comment is set in Denmark. I am also Danish, and I can verify that we have another view on ownership than what you experience in the US.
Totally lost me at the "Amazon ... is a net good".

And maybe because I choose "unusual" domain names, I've found buying them to be relatively straight-forward. There are now so many top-level domains to choose from that you can usually concoct something that works well with one of them. Admittedly, these haven't been names for "startups" - they're for small businesses and local groups, but it can't be that different.
The problem with proportional pricing is, who decides the value? If your website becomes successful, and the word "facebook" becomes more valuable, what's to stop ICANN simply increasing the charge? Then it just becomes extortion from ICANN.

The new-generation TLD owners already do this with "Premium" names. Google does it with .app. A price is arbitrarily decided for your first year. Who knows what price it might be in a few years' time.
No, the problem is domain parkers pay nearly zero so they can horde millions and profit if they just sell a few.

Normal people end up paying $20 or so per year, MUCH more than the domain parkers, and enough that people tend not to horde them without a planned use.

Make the domain parkers pay the same as normal folks and things would get MUCH better.

Almost any serious mod packs won't fit on games consoles or cheap tablets. MC Eternal even struggles in 16GB of RAM.

Do you get something for that? Sure. The first six months I played MC Eternal I was still finding random drops from mods I'd never seen before, I fought monsters yesterday I didn't know existed last week. And beyond suspecting that the moon is actually literally made of cheese (thus explaining where the rat civilisation went) I haven't even started on space travel yet.

On a PC you can run a large pack slowly on a medium sized PC, or reach inside and (for solo play) rip out the biggest pieces you care least about. Neither of those sound practical for a Switch.

I'm sure a PS5 could run most packs if somehow they were functional, but I'm also sure most Minecraft players don't have a PS5.

Don't forget that Germany is part of the same grid or have HVDC links with other European countries such as France (70% nuclear power), Norway (near 100% hydro, not only generation but also storage), and Poland (72% coal), so you you should not take Germany in isolation in such discussions.

You clearly didn't think your comment through. Let's say it's your first time cooking. If you have no idea how much of each ingredient you should add, how in the world are you supposed to make a decent meal? I personally fudged a few myself putting too little spice or too many pickles.
> they built light-water reactors that work on nuclear waste ([1]). So, same fuel is used twice

You know what that mean? That means they enriched spent fuels. That means “high level waste” = “crude Uranium ore”.

Why would you want means of unrecoverable storage for “high level waste” yet not actually carry out that plan? Because those are precious nuclear material.

That also means Option 3 is politically improbable: means Russians and Chinese might refine it into nukes up there and away from the world to see.

Just because it's your site, you shouldn't assume that you have the exclusive rights to decide what executable code that should run on my computer. If you don't want uses to mess with that, the code should be kept on the backend, because that's "your" computer and you can decide what to run there.

EDIT: Perhaps there should be a required banner for every JS-using site, telling the user that it sends you executable code, and you need to press a button to confirm that you indeed want to let the browser do that.

> However this is not a problem in Rust! In Rust, you can easily confine the coloring to exactly the part of the code you want to, and doing it is pretty straightforward... Of course you shouldn't do both of those things all the time, or you will lose most of the benefits of using async in the first place!

This is true for most languages with async/await, and if you call the two colours differently and to get the full benefit you shouldn't mix them even though with some effort you could, because mixing them has a cost that's high enough to require two distinct sets of API, then guess what? You have coloured functions!

For an article that shows that async/await -- in Rust as in almost any other language (some languages employ the terminology async/await for a different feature) -- is very much coloured, the exasperation at something that is obviously true is perplexing. Perhaps the author believes that function colouring is not a big hindrance for them in Rust, or that function colouring is not a significant downside of async/await in general, but it is very much there. It's an odd title for an article that says, async is definitely coloured, but I can live with it.
>how does keeping domains away from people with little money provide any value?

The value is that the market becomes more efficient.
I wonder if most of the pain is actually caused by Rust async being an MVP, so things like async trait functions (which would be very nice) don't exist... yet.

I don't know if anybody has shown that they can't ever exist, it's just that they weren't considered necessary to get the initial async features out of the door. Rather like how you can't use impl Trait in trait method signatures either (there's definitely some generics-implications-complexity going on with that one).
So how do you "bootstrap" compile this? I mean without cheating, say on a rebuilt computer after all computers where destroyed?
Couldn't a privacy-focused search engine potentially proxy all searches through a single Google and a single Bing "user" such that they weren't able to build a profile on any individual?
This is just so uninspiring. And I grew up with these colorless, times new roman 90's web pages.
> how does keeping domains away from people with little money provide any value?

True, it doesn't. Then again, how is it different from property prices? A business that wants to open a shop in a premium location has to pay a higher price. I may be not seeing something, but to me this looks similar.

> As long as the owner pays the fee who gives a f?

I think other market users would become annoyed. Businesses would still have trouble coming up with names, but now they would have no way to solve that with money. And users would have to deal with more "creative" names.
