>A domain is a non-empty ASCII string that identifies a realm within a network. [RFC1034][1]

>The example.com and example.com. domains are not equivalent and typically treated as distinct.[1]

When a user needs to type a domain name, the length of each label is
omitted and the labels are separated by dots ("."). Since a complete
domain name ends with the root label, this leads to a printed form which
ends in a dot. We use this property to distinguish between:

- a character string which represents a complete domain name
(often called "absolute"). For example, "poneria.ISI.EDU."

- a character string that represents the starting labels of a
domain name which is incomplete, and should be completed by
local software using knowledge of the local domain (often
called "relative"). For example, "poneria" used in the
ISI.EDU domain.

Relative names are either taken relative to a well known origin, or to a
list of domains used as a search list. Relative names appear mostly at
the user interface, where their interpretation varies from
implementation to implementation, and in master files, where they are
relative to a single origin domain name. The most common interpretation
uses the root "." as either the single origin or as one of the members
of the search list, so a multi-label relative name is often one where
the trailing dot has been omitted to save typing.[2]

None of the special effects artists, sound engineers, editors, costume designers or other associated professionals are getting royalties at all. They get paid for the work they do once and that's it. Actors get royalties, but if you're not one of the top names in the film, the checks will maybe buy a dinner out occasionally.
It's been fairly obvious that he's been trying to find a way out or to renegotiate the deal after the recent pullback in tech valuations, and is grasping at the bot claims as an attempted excuse to do so.
I have a hard time seeing this as being anything other than a fun how-can-I-fuck-with-people-today kind of game for him.

I mean, yeah, sure on the surface it's economically rational and all, but really--you're already nominally in charge of at least 3 different large companies, yet this is how you choose to spend your time and energy? Nickel-and-diming Twitter for lulz?

edit: and before someone points out what a big difference a few dollars in the share price would make towards the acquisition price: if he really believes that Twitter has so much untapped potential (economic or otherwise), then a few dollars either way shouldn't matter much. But by going to such lengths to slightly reduce the cost and jeopardize the deal, he shows that he doesn't think it has much potential and/or he's just screwing around.
I saw you host your server at home (?), right?

How did it work out on the ISP side? I reckon most of providers don't seem to like that.
Referring to Python hype as "snake oil" is hilarious; I recommend anyone arguing the underlying thought use it.

You can also make repeated throws of an octahedron for 3 bits per throw. 16 is not a multiple of 3, but there's no difficulty with just discarding the 17th and 18th bits. So you'd need to roll 6d8 instead of 8d4.
As someone who has read Substack and Medium articles on mobile, Substack has less clutter than Medium, and also doesn't require you to sign up to read the rest of the article like Medium or restrict you. Also, Substack is far more reliable than Medium, as Medium articles often times failed to deliver the article, requires you to use alternative front-end like Scribe[0].

Twitter could probably force a sale just by closing Musk's Twitter account. That's a direct contributor to much of his wealth. They can say you'll get your account back when you honor the original deal.
> Musk has proved he is not as smart as he projects himself to be

Do we need proof? You can safely assume that nobody who behaves like that is as smart as they advertise. Don't wait for the hard evidence.

> I tried really hard to do this by imagining a grid with points on it and I couldn’t, going back to the reference clears the image and I lose it.

So, you can think visually, you just require an external prop to do it?

Beyond problems of a certain complexity I experience something similar, and for both visual problem solving as well as the linguistic ones (sometimes I just need to talk a procedure through, and sometimes actually explaining it is necessary (eg. Rubber Duck debugging), other times writing it out is what works.
I haven't yet fully converted to Linux because of the incomplete support of Office 365 and... it is silly to admit.. the aesthetics.

I used to dig how Ubuntu looked but now it feels dated to me. I get that it's highly subjective, but I want a sexy looking OS with well designed fonts, good contrast, a few vibrant colors (not orange) on dark backgrounds, and not clipped off App names. Instead Ubuntu reminds me of the default classic Java File Chooser.

Apologies for being a little negative in my comment. If anyone has recommendations for specific themes, I'm all ears.
The complaint says:

> on July 17th and 18th, firefighter personnel working on the “Johnson” fire [...] began receiving unauthorized radio transmissions from an individual identifying as “comm tech.” This individual interrupted fire suppression activities and began advising the firefighters and aircraft personnel of hazards at a radio repeater site located at Elk Butte. [...] This individual, subsequently identified as Frawley, admitted to transmitting on government frequencies and doing so as a “comm tech.” The fire operations section chief instructed Frawley to cease operations on the frequency and returned to his post.

so it doesn't sound like they were very happy with his "help".
There’s a similar law on the books in the FAR for pilots:

(b) In an in-flight emergency requiring immediate action, the pilot in command may deviate from any rule of this part to the extent required to meet that emergency.

(c) Each pilot in command who deviates from a rule under paragraph (b) of this section shall, upon the request of the Administrator, send a written report of that deviation to the Administrator.

But you can’t just declare emergency and do whatever you want (people have been caught abusing this to get priority on landings, etc).
I hate starlings.

I am in the US. Some prick decided to bring about 100 of them to Central Park NYC in 1890 because he liked Shakespeare, and Shakespeare mentioned them a few times in his plays.

They are an invasive species in the US, and that’s a problem. They are also horrifically screechy, which is where my hatred comes from. I’ve heard them sing some quite pleasant songs now and then—is this what they do more in their natural habitat? In my city, they mostly scream aggressively all day.

I have never hunted animals, but if I knew how to legally kill starlings in my city, I would start tomorrow.
But at least sucks less than Medium
It makes little sense to use web-of-trust to verify the identity of the committer and then accept whatever software they publish. GPG's web of trust makes sense because it's meant for communication, where "being from who it says" is the only form of trust that is wanted.

It makes a lot more sense to use web-of-trust to verify that releases are not malicious directly. This is what crev [1] does and I can't wait to see adoption in more package ecosystems.

Trusting yourcolleague42 who trusts that 'left-pad was made by steve' doesn't prevent steve from publishing a malicious release, even if GitHub can check steve's signatures on his releases and commits.

Trusting yourcolleague42 who trusts that 'left-pad 1.2.3 with hash abc1234fde is safe' removes all of the risk.

My contrarian view is that instead of tools to help us churn out mundane crap, maybe we should work to eliminate the need to do mundate, repetative stuff.

Choosing words to write an email is not difficult, most of the time. It's a bit like AI code helpers. The syntax and the small details are not the challenge. The greater organization, design, and sense of direction are the hard problems.

Google already provides surprisingly accurate 2-3 word suggestions while writing documents and emails.

Wow. I just watched one of the linked videos. I would hate that. Who writes text without even a basic sense of the words they want to say? My limitation is typing speed, not thinking speed. Having to read popups every one or two words and decide if that's what I want to say is not only much slower but also really distracting. Not only does one need to try to keep up with a thought they want to express, but they also have to sift through and avoid bad suggestions. This is a nightmare scenario, like trying to write a paper on a phone with text suggestions.
The link didn't include it, but try again with the trailing '.' period
>HTML started as a format for hypertext documents, but as it became more capable, applications jumped on it as a cross-platform UI layout engine.

I wish HTML actually allowed markup of hypertext. The most productive parts of the design space got truncated with the mistake of flatting markup INTO the text.
About to spend over $1500 AUD on an iPhone.

Sure it will last 5 to 6 years once I had it down to my partner… but the recent price raises by Apple overvv be the last few models has rapidly passed the “this costs $1 per day” mark where I start mentally doing math on my purchases. It completely sucks any joy from the purchase and really ruins a lot of the product satisfaction for me. I start worrying about the Dan thing and being pissed off at every little software problem Apple never bothers fixing because “fuck you I paid a lot for this, I deserve better” … I didn’t feel the same way about buying a $900 AUD iPhone.

Definitely starting to affect my customer satisfaction that’s for sure.
I think, for a desktop work environment, people would be happy if it worked, given a standard keyboard, mouse, and display, on iOS, Android, Windows, and OSX, with Linux support a bonus.

MS Office supports this, as does Google Docs, and apparently, so does iWork!
There's a lot that's not discussed here, and it's hard to make judgements.

When I think of emergency transmissions, there must be an immediate need: "watch out, the tower is about to collapse".

I get the feeling that this guy was making transmissions that were more like status updates about an emergency. "Seeing some flames here..." Etc.
So they registered the domain "www" just like they could have registered "google" or "lol".

You can access Google by typing:

- google.com (domain name)

- www.google.com (subdomain)

The same for the domain in question:

- www.ai (domain name)

- www.www.ai (subdomain)

~~The reason why typing ".ai" or "ai", etc. In your browser works is in IMO due to the internals of the browser that automatically adds a www in front of the domain if it can't resolve it because historically so many websites run on http://www.example.com and neglect to setup http://example.com~~

Edit: as pointed by another comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31690379) there are actually TLDs with A records which is the case here.

So to take my example from above: The registry responsible for the AI TLD set up a website on the domain name "www.ai" but neglected to set it up on the subdomain "www.www.ai"
Instead, they set it up on the TLD "ai" which is indeed very unusual.
> Saying something confidently does not make it so.

Then why does (or did) everyone believe Musk? Why do they believe everything else said confidently on the Internet?
And what would a judge who uses copyright monopolist terminology like "piracy" even know about hacking?

> District Judge Robert Lasnik noted that TV and movies glorify hackers as “sticking it to the man,” suggesting that “big companies are reaping tremendous profits and it’s good for the little guy to have this.”

> What else can we do to convince people that there’s no glory in this hacking/piracy?

> There would be a large benefit to further education of the public

This judge is actually asking the monopolists worth billions how he can help to indoctrinate the population into accepting their eternal rent seeking. Then he sends this guy to jail to send a message.

Incredible...

Plain and simple, he broadcasted on frequencies he was not authorized to broadcast on. Easy to enforce as no ARRL member is allowed to talk on those frequencies.

Helpful or not.
This is cool. Also, SingleFile would be a very welcome addition.
It’s unofficially supported. I have it set up, connected to home assistant and it works great. Only thing I’ve noticed that is missing is the carpet detection feature, so just make sure you have the carpet set in the Roborock app before you root it. Buttttt it’s a huge pain in the ass to root. You pretty much have to take apart the entire robot, thus voiding your warranty, to do it. There are some guides, but not many, online on how to do it. All in all, 100% worth it. But be careful because I’ve seen people break/loosen a wire when taking the robot apart making it a really expensive paperweight
Edit: I’m not sure about the auto empty. I just have the regular S7.
Until AWS lets you set hard limits on your spend ahead of time, I'll take a hard pass.

Is the $1B penalty for backing out greater, or less than the difference in capitalization before/after the recent stock downturn. Perhaps he could save money by backing out, paying the $1B, and then making a new offer to shareholders.

I actually up voted you because you were down voted. It is common sense for many reasons.

The problem with freedns is that the vast majority of them being to users. I had dead.sexypenguins.com for several years, and was using it as a vhost for IRC, for email, and as a dyndns name. Then one day it stopped working. I considered buying it myself, but it had already been bought up by the time I noticed. It's still not available now; someone owns it and is not using it for web hosting. The same thing happened to me with various other hosts available on freedns. If the domain you pick at freedns isn't owned by freedns, don't expect it to stay around.
I remember doing some consulting with a medium sized porn site in the early 90's and they were selling to another company. One of my tasks was to generate fake traffic logs to make it appear that the company had alot more traffic than in reality, so as to get a higher sale price. So, knowing this is how the industry works in general, I would be highly suspect about any claims made by some web site about their traffic, and as a matter of fact I would want a right to inspect, prior to the sale, for myself, to make my own determination about real traffic numbers from the inside. When buying a house, the buyer has a right to inspect period, and its ironic that this same right to inspect does not generally apply to sale of businesses, when the sale price (and risk) is many orders of magnitude higher.

Sorry, that discussion is so overrated and elitist. I'll never understand people complaining about one technology/language/tool that made it possible to dozens of people to join to the - once restrict - small club which was computer science and which is now making it possible to a lot of people to get a job with an easy to learn and less verbose language. One can argue about speed/memory/better languages out there to make data science (hello Julia) but that's just how the world out there works. Python has a great/dope community that I didn't find when I worked with C back in the day, for example.
The Karl G. Jansky – Very-Large-Array (VLA)
The PPF mentioned that the Fire Operations Section Chief for the wildfire drove out to where Fawley (the transmitter) was operating from and specifically told him to stop, as he had been repeatedly transmitting over two days.

I think the big part was that it was on the same frequency that the ground crews and fire fighting aircraft were using to coordinate with each other.

>>The analogy I like to use is what's harder to buy a $1 million house or $1 million of Microsoft stock

It's interesting, both have registries, so why is one harder? Is it because the registry is better? No, it's because real property transactions are more complex:

- What condition will the property be delivered in and when?
- What happens if the condition is not as specified?
- what personal property is included in the transaction? What condition is it in?
- Are there disputes over the property lines?
- Are there easements? How do they work?
- Are there third party consents needed? How do those work?
- Will the seller vacate immediately, or will they rent back?
- How will you pay for the property and when?
- What happens if you don't pay? How much is the deposit and what are the terms of the deposit?

The complexity of the transaction derives from the complexity of the subject matter. Sure, if you could standardize those items, you could make property more like stocks, and people are trying to do that, which so far limited success. But for the average person, this is a huge investment, and they will want to spend time and create a transaction that works for them.

Almost none of the complexities related to the transfer of real property relate to issues with the county registry. Sure registries could improve, but very little would change.

One of the expenses is paying for title insurance. Sure in some sense a perfect ledger would obviate the need for that insurance. But given there seems to be more fraud in blockchain than in normal US real estate transactions, not sure the insurance price goes down, rather than up...
No, the Mac is worth something in and of itself. It is a tool of productivity, entertainment, education, creation, etc. And, failing all of that, it's valuable for its parts.

Actually, the paper goes on to explain that they discovered that a lot of the damage is caused by other pollutants that either just happen to exist on the same regions as NO2 or are created by its reaction with the air (they suspect ozone is a large guilty).

They measured NO2 because it's the best one to measure.

That's another weird thing - if Twitter frustrated him so much, he could've put $10m into each of 10 crack teams trying to supplant Twitter. With a warchest, it would have to be beatable; it's hardly a perfect platform. Given enough money, you could pay a lot of top creators to switch platforms and encourage their followers to move with them.
At first blush this looks like the government smiting a flea with a sledge hammer. But it sounds more like there's more to this story. The forest service took the time to track him down on their own which says a lot right there - they literally have bigger fires to deal with, but spent the time to track this guy down to deal with him. Sounds like he was being an active nuisance.

That's because the population is larger than ever in history.
What do you think Musk is trying to do then? I'm crediting him with enough intelligence to know the points you're making.
You're describing Mathworks Simulink, more or less. And, I also think it's an incredible shame that it's not a more commonly used tool for forms of software development outside of basically controls engineering.
Tell me you’ve never bought a house without telling me you’ve never bought a house.

Buying houses are expensive because:

- Realtors are a state-sanctioned monopoly for real estate transactions and suck up a % of the costs. They also provide the necessary service of aggregating information about the market and negotiating on your behalf
- Due diligence on the state of the property. This means inspecting that there’s no mold growing everywhere, checking that proper maintenance has been carried out, etc
- Property law developed over literal centuries to provide the legal framework that we have now, if you damage something as you move out I can sue you to recover costs involved, we have statements about property state before closing, if the building doesn’t meet code we negotiate about who pays the costs
- Property registries matter because legally speaking that’s a part of how you prove ownership. The county knows who to send the tax bill, if you default creditors can impose a lien, these are legal technologies that developed over time

This is why you can’t just pledge your house as collateral and borrow against it in a HELOC like you can borrow against your stock portfolio. The bank needs to verify that nobody else has a claim on your property and that the property actually exists and is worth as much as you say it is.

A house NFT has none of the legal protections of a SPA and all of the risks. If it’s not up to code you’re fucked, if the county has a tax lien there’s nothing you can do, etc. Us engineers like to think that everything is an engineering problem, and that’s often true, but law seldom works that way.
As with many proposed blockchain solutions - what's important there is that you've wrapped everything in a legal vehicle that makes fast transfer possible, NOT the fact that the record sits on a blockchain. That record could sit anywhere. A database perhaps.

It's not really the NFT that's the 'win' there, if indeed it is a win.
Just want to say the Amway example was pretty good and funny.

2020 Model 3 LR. Absolutely, yes. Best automotive software you will ever use, very fun to drive, which I do rarely because Autopilot/FSD does most of the driving these days, amazing sound system and really comfortable seats.
