While I am totally down for bashing DB, as you can see from other comments, let's also face reality: Switzerland has 1/10th of the population and 1/9th of the surface, with an entirely different population distribution.

Unfortunately, lessons from small countries cannot easily be replicated in bigger countries (as for people that mention Estonia for digitalization: they are great, but there are 3 cities in Germany that have more population that the _entire_ Estonia)

If I could change one thing about root replacement, it would be for a more efficient use of the hierarchical structure of the DNS. The attempt to cram everything into a namespace that is mostly flat is, in my opinion, essentially intractable.
My friend also wasn't enthusiastic about AEM at his workplace, he wanted just "ordinary" Java. But Java is just a tool and one often lands in some legacy or overgrown enterprise solution.

I advised him to do AEM certifications. He did and then contract recruiters has started to flood him. He collects tons of cash as independent AEM consultant now. And with Java, he does "fulfilling" Java stuff on the side.
You do realize this is an article published in 1949 in a South Korean periodical, you’re reading it from a restricted classified report only because CIA put a copy in their classified trove? It very well could have been on radio back then.

Seems interesting.

I've long held the view that DNS is no longer fit for purpose. It made sense back in the day, but what is the real point of TLDs these days? It means many folk have to register their name multiple times and there's problems with domain-name squatting. It's just a money-making ploy now.
It's not about "cheaper", it could very well be "the train should not consistently be twice the price".

Also in my personal experience planes don't simply get cancelled (or replaces with one without my reservation) 1/3 of the time, which is an actually reasonably correct number for me taking trains in Germany.

That's a lot of condition to be perfectly readable.

EPUB is readable even without all those conditions because it's reflowable.

(And personally I hate using landscape mode on my phone/Kindle)
That really depends how often it happens. You can't expect 100% reliability, especially for any processes that involve humans or physical items. And even if 100% reliability was attainable the cost would probably be astronomical so you have to make the tradeoff somewhere.

Just came here with the same link in my clipboard and a question: What would be the reason for using "lsd" instead of popular IETF RFCs? The fact that RFC is supposed to open a dialogue/discussion and "lsd" is something final? (edit: it isn't; it's a IETF-style Internet-Draft). Other LSDs on that site link to RFCs.

And, um, second question: what does "lsd" stand for in this case?
> if a train never arrives at a station, it's not late, according to the Deutsche Bahn.

I think most rail systems do this; it would be considered a reliability problem, not a punctuality problem.

You definitely have to be careful with the definition of these things, though. For instance, Irish Rail considers intercity rail to be on time if it's within 10 mins of schedule. Commuter is within five minutes of schedule. Given that, at peak times, some commuter services run once every ten minutes, and thus are ~always on time per this definition, it's wise to be a bit skeptical of the punctuality reporting.
No, it's an emergency. We've screwed the planet, big time. When they're cutting open whales to reveal heaps of plastic, find it on Everest's peak and also in our meat at the supermarket, and when 3M is still, to this very day, trying to weasel out of being forbidden from making PFAS (a pointless, stupid chemical group that we basically didn't need as a race), we can't afford to sit idly by and entertain the feelings of people who never really had an interest in anything outside of their yard.

Uh, no thanks. If you insist on using a blockchain at least don't make it proof-of-work. It's 2022, and there are plenty of production-ready non-PoW chains out there already. Please stop killing the planet.
Yeah, the disconnect between sourcehut components isn't great, but AFAIK they are working on hub.sr.ht or smth like that, and also better integration between all of those services, precisely to fix that issue.

I'm eager to see that implemented, because it will be a good step forward.
Good point about DNS.

Yes, these recordings sound like they were recorded on an old answering machine. That said, the enunciation is immaculate and the tempo is just slow enough to make out the individual sounds, yet fast enough to not sound forced. I'm certain that a skilled technician could remaster them.

And truth be told, I do prefer my audio samples to be in nonsterile environments, for the simple reason that we'll not be in such an environment when encountering real native speakers.
Wouldn't you prefer (committed + 1) / completed? Or (committed + 2) / (completed + 1)?

In the limit, you want this to approach 1 (namely, you complete more or less everything you commit). A bad situation is where you're overcommitted and have many committed things, but few completed ones (e.g. 10/2), which results in a high ratio. But, with your proposed metric, you'd achieve the asymptotically ideal ratio with 2 committed projects and only 1 completed one, and in fact the global optimum is "I promised nothing and did nothing, yet achieved a ratio of 50%".
A significant source of motivation for the development of a great deal of the functionality that can be found in programs like as Obsidian, Logseq, and Roam Research.
> He maintains that climate science was too uncertain in the 1990s to warrant "drastic actions", and that developing countries - particularly China and Russia - have ultimately been responsible for the decades of climate inaction, rather than American industry.

This is such a classic at this point. "Look, even if we are partly responsible, and way ahead in per capita terms, look at how others are doing overall".

I feel that this kind of hypocrisy has permeated down from geopolitical excuses, to the common people, who are now blamed, very publicly so, when it comes to essentially any kind of pollution, from air travel to plastic use.

I think the entire point of this is Amazon doesn't have a piracy problem. You have a piracy problem. We just have this bizarre corporatocracy where if you infringe Amazon's copyright, they're going to fuck you up. If you Amazon infringes your copyright, tough luck. Maybe if you're lucky they'll fix it at some point after they've already fucked your business. It's this bizarre attitude in the US that the bigger and more powerful you are, the less responsible you are for anything you do wrong. Amazon's approach on this is clear anti-competitive behavior. You get better protection from being pirated on their platform only if you distribute with them.

A very big security problem with current domain certificates is that browsers accept any certificate for any domain, as long as they trust the issuer. There is no concept or notion of who is supposed to have issued the certificate.
I would like for more people to read this. leaders and developers. The most challenging aspect of software development is finishing. In contrast, it's incredibly simple to open new projects, features, and issues. Opening numerous tracks simultaneously causes the entire team to work at a crawl, and the traditional solution is to simply put in extra hours or take short cuts, which increases tech debt over time. Battle fire with fire.

I love email marketing. But dear Lord, the spam algorithms are so overprotective these days that even the most honest emails can easily end up in spam.

The challenge? How to make sure your new customer, and their inbox, perceive you as a real and valuable human being?

My take. I set up email automation where whenever a new customer purchases a goodie from my shop, a message arrives in their inbox (hopefully) with an honest “thank you” and a small discount voucher.

No links, no attachments. Just the value in two sentences.

https://imgur.com/a/toPiHUU

But to get the voucher, they‘ll need to reply. This is powerful because once they reply, you are sure they are humans, and it also trains the spam algorithm to create a friendly link between you and the receiver, so you don‘t end up in spam next time. Moreover, once they reply, you reply to them back with the voucher attached, but also with a question to further extend the conversation, thus to further train the spam algorithm to make sure you don‘t even end up in the Promotions tab, but directly to their inbox.

Powerful, right? Well, I‘ll see, in a month or two.

How about you? What‘s your approach?

If it weren't for Hitler, World War II might have been over climate policy instead, and there might be no nukes. You gloss over Nth-order effects and cite a single statistic to compare relative damage done to humanity (spoiler alert: what you actually tried to do here is not possible to scientifically do at all - you are pro-science, right?). This tells me that you haven't done any real research on the topic, but are obtusely confident about it, on HN of all places. Who were your most influential authors on existential risks? Have you contributed to the literature at all?

> How can a legitimate domain owner tell other people to not use his name in GNS?

> A: Names have no owners in GNS, so there cannot be a "legitimate" domain owner. Any user can claim any name (as his preferred name or "pseudonym") in his NICK record. Similarly, all other users can choose to ignore this preference and use a name of their choice (or even assign no name) for this user.

This is confusing me. How is it not a problem that randoms can just claim other people's domains?
That's not a reasonable alternative.

More nuclear - after Fukushima not a realistic option.

LNG - would be useleff today, since the Empire decided to limit LNG exports. And even if the Germany could claim complete LNG world export capacities all for itself, it would still not be enough.

local fossil fuel sources - there are none that are not already in use
How would that work? Add another DNS record? It would have to be out of band as the server cannot be trusted (see HPKP), and DNS itself could just as easily be MITMed as an HTTPS request, often even moreso.
>Given that, at peak times, some commuter services run once every ten minutes, and thus are ~always on time per this definition, it's wise to be a bit skeptical of the punctuality reporting.

I think that makes sense. If a commuter train leaves every 10 minutes, but due to some technical problems, the first train of the early morning leaves 20 minutes late which then continues through the day, does that mean every train is late? The users wouldn't know the trains they're using should have actually ran 20 minutes ago, they just know a train is to go every 10 minutes.
Interesting name..
It seems that there are only two differences between Hitler and climate change deniers. First, Hitler had actual executive powers to implement the measures suggested by his own slander campaign. Second, unlike Hitler, we still refuse to acknowledge that climate change deniers do have a direct responsibility over the various disasters and subsequent deaths caused by climate change.
Ask HN: How to utilize excess energy in remote areas
For example if you have a large area in the desert that is not connected to the power grid, but has the potential to generate electricity. What could be profitable?
I worked in the Amazon warehouse for a while and (if my memory is correct) for this to work, Amazon would need to have a dedicated area for each vendor so that all vendor X goods are in bay Y, for example but costs would soar!

However, they currently don't do that - Everything gets put anywhere there is space.

There are some areas where stuff is put all together, like for example, there may be a shelf space full of a particular brand of superglue. If more comes in, even from a different vendor, as long as it is given the same ASIN (I think that's how it works - the ASIN is Amazon's internal ID system, sort of) then you can put that superglue with the other superglue in the same shelf space. That means you don't know who's superglue came from what vendor!

So if you received fake superglue and it came out of that shelf with superglue from 10 different vendors, which one sold you the fake?

It's a brilliant system all round: storage is cheap so the vendor doesn't pay high costs, Amazon keeps their costs low as their storage space is fully utilized.

The downside is that counterfeit orgs know this and it's easy to game!

Amazon can legitimately say that they don't know which vendor is the guilty party and no one can prove that vendor X sent in dodgy goods. Not sure if that's a legal defense or not but they have lots of money and you don't!

In fact, I remember someone a few years back on HN mentioned they were kicked off Amazon due to selling counterfeit DVD's (maybe CD's!) even though they were co-mingled so there was no way to tell.
Significant portions of the Berlin to Munich route run at 300km/h (the section from Halle via Erfurt and then to Bamberg). Of course, you have to be on one of the ICE3's that are actually capable of 300km/h - the others max out at 250km/h...
Thomas Aquinas was a theologian, working purely within the circular Christian scholastic system to talk, essentially, about nothing. Where he did talk about concrete things (ethics, politics, even economics) he simply argued based on his religious dogmas. Meh, not very interesting.

> To some extent, it invented academics.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Keep in mind Christians were responsible for the destroying huge amounts of books, temples, and cultural artifacts after they took power in the Roman Empire. The amount of knowledge lost to the murderous hands of Christian monks is incalculable. It was only really after the 10th century that Christian monks began to preserve and translate the classics to Latin (the common picture we have of the monk painstakingly hand-copying the classics to preserve them).
By that logic, why don't they just gove me, or you, 500k right now?

Hmm?

Why not?

Because any company behaving that way, would be bankrupt in a year. 500k is nothing on terms of overall expenditures, but companies drool over cutting production costs by .1 cents, here and there.

Because it adds up! Because spending 500k for Silly Reasons, done over and over, means profit disappears.

500k is nothing to waste. $1 is nothing to waste.

The arguments in this thread are bizarre. They boil down to Samsung spending cash, just in case subsidies appear.

Yet there is no difference in terms of getting a subsidy, if they do the work before, or after it becomes law!

None! No difference! If there was, everyone would be doing it.

So I am expected to believe, Samsung is spending loads of cash, because maybe a bill might be passed, sorta possibly hopefully?!

Where instead, they could wait until the bill is passed, and spend the cash for a guaranteed return.

Competent companies don't spend money this way. Especially, they don't posture that they are ready to build, when there is no subsidy in place, and may never be one!

Is everyone here a Samsung fan or some such? Totally bizarre logic.
> The search bar on their homepage returns no handbrake results

That's sadly not correct.

https://www.namecheap.com/domains/registration/results/?doma...

For example using "beast mode" on the front page search, a good portion of the domains are "handshake" entries with only a tiny little (i) button to distinguish them from actual domain names which could be used in the real world.

I can add them to my cart with no other mention that the product I am buying is a sham, I can even add a SSL certificate along with my purchase- which can't actually be issued because it's not a real domain name.

> "It's also important to note that handshake domains do not resolve in regular browsers without additional setup."

This feels like an incredible understatement. They will never be accessible by anybody who doesn't install software explicitly with that goal, they will never be able to receive email, nobody is going to issue SSL certificates for them.
Commenting about fiat currency is a pointless distraction when the purpose of using it is as a proxy for labour and materials. 'Trillions in the pot' is just a proxy for a certain amount of access to raw materials, trading ability and labour power, all of which are finite and don't really increase if you sink your country into hyperinflation.

> Therefore it's only overnight costs that matter in a build (and hitting the deadline). The real issue is one of manpower and stuff. We don't make solar panels in the UK. We will make SMRs. Therefore we're not reliant on Chinese manufacture, or the whims of export markets to fund them. A problem we're currently having with gas and oil.

> To have security of energy supply over time you have to be as decoupled from world markets as possible. We don't want to be in the situation where we're relying on China for replacement advanced manufactures to keep the lights on.

Spending an amount on computers and steel and exotic alloys and uranium ore and then also spending 10x as much on labour is no better than spending that first amount on foreign solar panels. Far better to overpay for solar panels by developing a local industry, or overpay for solar thermal systems (which are still vastly cheaper than fission).

> Solar has no reliable capacity in winter in the UK unfortunately. You wouldn't want to rely on solar with several weeks of grey miserable UK winter weather even with storage. The same with wind, which is still suffering from a degradation in capacity due to the as yet unexplained overall reduction in wind speeds - which may itself be a result of climate change.

Renewable-derived hydrogen is already at cost-parity with fossil-fuel-methane derived hydrogen in some markets. Renewable-derived methane isn't much further off and is one of many ways of solving the storage issue. When a gas plant (which you need anyway) and the renewables to provide enough net power in winter and a massive overprovision during summer cost a fraction of nuclear there's no point.

Plus your argument about energy security completely precludes nuclear as an option for over 50% of the world as they're not allowed to make their own fuel. There are also about as many countries with a credible manufacturing base for solar panels than countries with viable uranium reserves, and there is more than one chemistry that you can make solar cells with.

Finally being entirely beholden to one of four or five corporations worldwide is no better than being entirely beholden to one of four or five countries with the cheapest solar.
