From my non-expert perspective, it seems like one of the primary functions of orgasm is to immobilize the male in order to maximize deposition of sperm. If so then evolution doesn’t really select for female orgasms if it doesn’t increase breeding success. Has there been any studies on this though?
Just because Steve Jobs said it doesn’t make it true. Apple have lagged behind webapp standards for years. Even with the release of iOS 14.5 there are no notes about changes in the browser, despite there being a bunch.

Claiming Apple fully support the web because of something a former CEO said in a marketing presentation over a decade ago just doesn’t work.

Ask HN: Things to consider (Security, SEO) when issuing subdomains to SaaS users
My product allows users to spin preview environments for any pull request, and give them a URL like xyz.my.pullpreview.com. I also use pullpreview.com as the main marketing (static) website.

Now I just noticed sites like http://34-229-63-26-gh-263088647-branch-master.my.pullpreview.com/ pop up, which appear to be content farms running under my domain. What’s more, the user registered that website in the google search console (which is how I got notified of its existence).

Since I’m only using pullpreview.com as a marketing website, I didn’t think too much about the consequences of issuing subdomains of it to give to users, because I wasn’t too concerned about security.
But I didn’t think about SEO and how malicious websites could potentially harm the reputation of the main website.

So for people knowledgeable:

1. Can bad content on subdomains harm the main domain’s reputation?
2. Is it always best to use a secondary domain whenever we allow arbitrary content to be posted by users? (think GitHub Pages switching from GitHub.com to GitHub.io, or herokuapps.com etc.)
3. Are there cases when it’s ok?

This title is kind of exaggerated. In order to obtain this data you'd need to get the Bluetooth identifiers from the system log. In order to get the system log, you need root or adb.

> Signal is all about privacy. It trumps everything else.

Strong disagree with this claim. Signal exposes your phone number to others when you chat. I can add random phone numbers to my address book and find out if those numbers are tied to a Signal account and get to the profile even. Telegram hides phone numbers by default and also has settings to prevent such enumeration, wherein you cannot know that I’m on Telegram by adding my number to your address book unless I also have your number in my address book.

Yes, Cisco and Juniper are financing an entity that creates "fixed costs" that are easier for bigger companies to bear. They can argue that it was cheaper to pay, but that's only half the picture. They help create an environment that's harder on upstarts.

Cloudflare still has some upstart culture: they get offended and lash out, which not only keeps trolls away but it's good for their brand too.

I think a lot of people have trouble empathizing with owner's perspective.

What if a tree fell and knocked out power to your house. And the power company showed up to fix the power lines.

Would it be OK for the workers to take a break from their work and discuss gender equality if they found out that a female executive was just hired at their company and she was paid 8% less than the man she replaced. If so, how long could they discuss the issue? 10 minutes? 1 week? At what point would you ask them to fix the power and then discuss the gender equality issue after?

And if you do set a time limit does that mean that you don't care about gender equality?
> it has been growing exponentially for years

Hardly. At best it can be described by a second-order differential equation. An experienced engineer would avoid the inappropriate term 'exponential' to describe the phenomenon. The rest is true.
Maybe I'm missing how themarkup.org works, because I just had a look through the uBlock Origin log, and this seems to be vastly overstated. Looking through the source I don't see anything Facebook/Twitter related except for metatags for Facebook/Twitter. I don't see any Microsoft, LinkedIn trackers or anything as per uBo's logger.

Regardless, I have seen other sites that have a vast amount of trackers so I'm gonna ask my question anyway. Anyone know what the point is of having this many trackers? I totally understand that a company wants to figure out how a user interacts with their app, but what is the point of tracking using different trackers where there is a lot of functionality overlap. I doubt Microsoft, Google, Twitter, Facebook and whoever else collect vastly different data where this becomes useful. Maybe one or two different companies e.g. for redundancy but why do their need more than that?
I definitely thought "plerking" was going to be revealed as a linear combination of planking and twerking, and since this venture is clearly idiotic to the most casual observer, I would say its a better fit.
I am not sure what to say here, since I simply agree so strongly with this: “” The IndieWeb is a community of individual personal websites, connected by simple standards, based on the principles of owning your domain, using it as your primary identity, to publish on your own site (optionally syndicate elsewhere), and own your data.””

Even given the fact that Apple is a walled garden, I think that largely replacing social media with iMessage to communicate with just one or a few people at a time, and couple this with a personal web site and blog is the right way to go.

Social media can just be a place to leave links to stuff in your own domain.
Yes, it would help if those key combinations would work (even though they are still at least unusual).
The quit combination does not work and neither does evaluating a cell. Does anybody have luck actually getting it to work?

Yeah. Like when in a group having to traverse something almost horizontally on skis, we go with a long distance between each other. So that the risk of triggering something is smaller, and if something is triggered as few as possible is involved and others can do the rescue. I also have beacon, back pack with airbag etc. So minimized the risk as much as I can.

But sometimes I think. If I have to do aaall those things to mitigate the risk, is it really safe and worth it? So far, the answer is yes. Maybe it changes if I ever see an accident.

Bad was Great Keppel Island. Basically it was a bunch of drunk 20-something-year-olds doing "activities" like diving, getting plastered with overpriced drinks, and unsuccessfully hitting on each other. The coral was half dead from bleaching, and the other half was torn up by boat anchors.

Good was Lord Howe Island, which is the last true paradise on Earth. It's on the southernmost tip of the Great Barrier Reef, so it has coral, but none has bleached. The waters are pristine and protected. It's a place more civilised than Japan. You can leave a camera bag with $10K of gear in it on the beach and go on a hike, because it will be there when you get back. There's a beach with a shack next to it where you can stuff a $20 bill into a jar to rent snorkelling equipment. The jar had about $500 in it. Nobody is going to take that either. This place is what most places should be like, but aren't.

The dive at Lord Howe Island was just... unspeakably beautiful. To set the scene: the missus had done a dive before (supposedly), and this was an introductory dive anyway to a depth no greater than about 12m, but she had a panic attack. While the instructor was patiently helping her relax, I snorkelled around the boat. Above were thousands of wheeling seabirds coming in to roost to a cliff about 100m high. That view alone was spectacular. Below were layers of coral and shoals of fish like underwater highways of colour. Had I paid the fee just to see this I would have considered it money well spent.

Then the younger instructor leading the team of kids doing their PADI certification offered to take me on a one-on-one dive since a boy in his group used his air too quick and we had spare time now. I got to see shellfish bigger than I had ever seen, a huge octopus squirt ink in the instructor's face, then we dove through a tunnel under coral, there were fish bigger than me, and generally it was just awesome.

I highly, highly recommend this place to everyone who's willing to listen and has the budget. My tip is: skimp on the accommodation, splurge on the restaurants. Go there to turn your phone off and relax.

>Compare Berlin rents to any European capital.

Just resorting to whataboutism at every step doesn't magically make rents in Germany cheaper more easy to obtain for those in Germany.

The fact that Parisians or Londoners or Tokyans(is that even a word?) have expensive rents doesn't help me when I live in Germany since they're completely different markets and I only compete in my local market, not with those in Paris/London/Tokyo.

Lots of other ways of doing that. But speaking as a male can't remember being immobilised much; rather the reverse.

Your potential... embarrassment? at being outed as a conservative is nowhere near as threatening as being outed as a gay or trans person.
For large spaces there's more considerations than more person-sized spaces. If you make your theater or restaurant comfortable when it's empty and people are walking in, you'll need much bigger AC gear to catch back up once everyone's in there generating heat. It's one of those cases of a problem being quite a bit harder than you might intuitively think because for the most part, engineers have just solved it for you in most spaces, but there are some places where it just gets too hard to fully solve. Variations between locations are probably accounted for in differences in code and how much money there is to spend on the heating and cooling gear, plus how much variation there is in the outdoor weather.

IIRC a person can be approximated as 100 watts of heating. If you add up everyone in the full restaurant or theater you get quite the number for how much heat the people themeselves are putting out.
GitLab doesn't have "spyware" as you claim it does - it's trackers on their marketing page.

Many "family" restaurants in the in my area of the US have tablets at the table which allows you to pay your bill when you are ready to leave with a credit/debit card with no interaction with the server required.

Family restaurant means a chain like Applebees for those unfamiliar with the term.

The tablets are also a revenue-generating device as you can play games on them for a fee. They also have surveys so you can give feedback on the service, this has become somewhat controversial (see https://www.eater.com/2018/6/22/17492528/tablets-restaurants...).
I agree that it can still be secure.

I'm just explaining the backlash.
> It may sound unimpressive, but at the size of ecommerce it's a potentially big market that would give any online retailer the opportunity to outsource their dispute resolution service.

Just like many other blockchain uses, it is very interesting and in theory has a great potential, but in practice the interest and popularity is limited. Personally I consider these 600 cases in the Kleros court a huge success already. And using it for ecommerce reviews sounds interesting in theory, but in practice, just like any other, can be gamed to the advantage of the more powerful party.
> Dive shops tend to be fairly relaxed with checking if someone is properly qualified to go on a particular dive. They barely check your papers or equipment, if at all.

I find this is very destination dependent.

I did some Cenotes dives in Mexico that I was seriously underqualified for, and some deeper wreck dives in the Carribean too.

OTOH in Australia everything was very much by the book. The new book, even (when I qualified for PADI Open Water in the early 90s we did deep-diving as part of the training, and were qualified up to 30m, but sometime in the 00s AFAICT things changed and O/W people are these days confined to 18m or less.)

Which reminds me, I must get my 'advanced' at some point soon. I did a deep-dive specialty a while back so that I could do some more interesting reef dives at the great barrier reef, and an enriched air qualification as well, but not the advanced O/W.

One day, after many years, I may even have the qualifications to do those dives I did many years ago... Thankfully I was young and stupid enough to just go with it and enjoy it at the time.

In an ideal world I think you're right, but practice has shown that many buyers of plug-in hybrids never actually plug them in.

This was especially when they are bought for large fleets - which makes some sense to me, after all, when it is your companies car, not yours, and its on the company's dime when you either fill up the gas once a week or charge it every night, why do the thing that is more annoying?
You should still change the brake fluid every few years. I don't know what Tesla recommends but most car manufacturers recommend brake fluid flushes every 2-5 years (the Germans generally recommend 2 year intervals, GM generally recommends 5 year intervals, the Japanese brands seem to recommend 3 year intervals).

DOT 3, 4, and 5.1 fluid will absorb water on purpose and disperse it throughout the fluid. Over time if you do not flush out this water-contaminated fluid it'll start to cause corrosion inside the brake system.
That's easy to say until you see how it actually happens. Basecamp would likely still be in the news, just instead of being about banning politics talks, it would be because they're somehow preventing their employees from supporting some cause or another.
Stock wouldn't make a lot of sense for Basecamp though, unless they started paying dividends or something. They aren't public and have no indication that they ever have any desire to be public, and the ownership of the company is small enough that I'd be very surprised if any ownership stake didn't come with a lot of conditions on how that ownership could be transfered. As a liquid asset, Basecamp stock probably isn't particularly valuable.
AWS Serverless Architecture: Front End Considerations
I'm an avid diver; got certified as soon as I turned 12 years old and have had some great adventures and life lessons diving and continuing my training and education. After many many conversations and encounters on dive boats with others (some seasoned, most tourist / rec divers) - I believe that 90% of the industry sees diving akin to a roller coaster ride instead of Skydiving. The risks with scuba are there for you to see and the situation can get deadly very quickly, but most people don't see the inherit risk or shrug it off. I've watched countless divers who are renting their bc/reg/tank/computer not even go through the most basic safety checks prior to diving. They simply trust the operator and jump in. This is not a "batteries included" sport. It is that lack of preparedness that leads to fatal accidents, people who don't respect the sport for what it is and the dangers that come with it. If you don't plan your dives, understand the dive profile, then you are going to panic of make a stupid decision when you shouldn't. When I was younger, technical dives; cave and deep, where my two favorite things to do, the amount of planning it took to pull off the dives was enjoyable and I enjoyed pushing myself in to those situations and the focus it required. Now that I have kids, I won't do those dives anymore b/c I understand that when you plan them, there is a greater than 0 chance that you don't come back and its not worth it to me to take that chance.
Yeah, this is why hosting user content scares me. AFAIK:

1. Yes - Google can safe-site ban the domain for hosting malicious content and it's difficult to get it unlisted once it happens.

2. Yes - it's always better to use a secondary domain, it just protects your brand.

3. There are cases where it's OK - e.g. when the majority of the site's content is private or substantially populated by an application (and therefore secured), or where you have a business or contractual relationship with the person hosting the content (and therefore can revoke their account on abuse).
I'd hardly consider myself "wealthy" (certainly NOT by Western standards) but sure, whatever fits best your own views. ;)
