If you read it, the issue was definitely not a failure to renew. It was a change in rules that required updating or verifying the contact info.

I don't use GoDaddy, but I have been forced to use it in the past because I had clients who used it. They suck in a lot of ways but in this case they definitely sent repeated messages about this before the one that the poster found from 2h before the cutoff. I got similar messages from various registrars often multiple per month for many months prior to the cutoff date. It is much easier to believe that this poster just didn't see them because they flagged one or more of the many spammy messages from Godaddy and got all their messages sent to the spam box. If they had logged into GoDaddy during the previous 6 months, they would have also been prompted by a popup, which would likely have been dismissed because it looks just like the hundreds of marketing prompts you are bombarded with every time you log into GoDaddy.
Purchasing internet service from comcast, the only internet service provider allowed in my area, in a day and age where internet service is necessary for nearly all aspects of life, does not make me an active participant in comcast's bad business practices.

Likewise purchasing products which can not be readily substituted or purchased from a better source does not make anyone an active participant in the decisions of the company supplying those products, especially when the unethical practices go beyond what is necessary to produce the purchased good. I'd love to take an electric train to work, but somebody lobbied to have a highway built instead. I'd love to drink from a renewably sourced bottle, but somebody flooded the market with cheap petroleum derived plastic. I'd love to just fill my gas tank from an oil company that didn't actively lobby for lax environmental and safety regulations, but alas there is no such option. None of these actions are necessary for producing the oil products I consume, and my purchases are not endorsements of any of these practices. The false dichotomy that you must either boycott a product or endorse it is nothing but corporatist propaganda.

AIUI, they didn't inject code, just mangled the stack to hijack the execution flow towards specific code fragments ("gadgets") already in the executable memory.
It can. By becoming your own registar. Granted that costs $$ but solves the problem of if a register is deciding to axe you.
I have the same, but mapped to ‘F’. Thank you to whoever submitted that to macosxhints.com many years ago.
Similar here. I don't recall when I started doing it, but it's been at least 20 years. I get a fair amount of spam from "well, what did you expect?" addresses (social sites, mostly) and some from addresses that are hard to pin down (paypal address might be shared to a seller; amazon address is definitely shared to sellers).

The most surprising one is ongoing spam (and semi-legitimate contacts from recruiters) to an address that I only (intentionally) used at O'reilly. I just checked HIBP and that address was exposed in the July 2018 Apollo exposure.
>Inspectors don't have infinite expertise, and I've found that they're not really any better at catching or avoiding trades errors than the practitioner.

I think you're missing the whole point of inspectors. They aren't primarily there to be experts for the well-intentioned contractors to use to catch honest oversights they made (although they can do that too sometimes). They're there to catch the less scrupulous people who take advantage of an ignorant homeowner by making the job seem to be done well but in fact actually doing it dangerously and/or poorly. There is a massive incentive to do this kind of work poorly, because it leads to being able to do it quickly and fitting in more jobs means making more money.
The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) is responsible for publishing all the Bluetooth specs and you can download them here: https://www.bluetooth.com/specifications/specs/

Notice that everything appears to be there: very detailed specs and information about testing. However, when you try to implement one of these specs you quickly realize that you cannot do it with the spec alone. You need example code, base implementations, test suite software and test data to build conformant software. Unfortunately, the Bluetooth SIG hides these resources behind a membership wall. Guess what happens then? You get lots of implementations of these specs that are a little bit off and don't handle all edge cases.

If I were to wave a magic wand I would like to see Bluetooth SIG change to a donation based financial model and for them to make all resources freely available. Right now they make money from branding, certification and country club membership fees. No wonder the ecosystem is one big tire fire.
I'm not doubting that this CAN happen, just wondering where it DOES frequently happen. I do enjoy chatting with drivers, though these days it's 99% Lyft and almost never a taxi. Back in the day though, I'd ride a taxi maybe once a week or so. The opportunity never even came up, like how would you start that discussion...? "Cool chat bro, can I have your number so I can just call you direct next time and bypass dispatch?"

I'm not saying this is unbelievable, I'm just genuinely curious as to how this comes to pass, organically. I've never heard of anyone doing this, so was surprised when you said it's common, that's all.

There's a lot of code on NPM in general, and while there's definitely a lot of warts, there's a lot of good code on there as well. It makes no sense to write off an entire package ecosystem just because some of the packages are unmaintained or poorly written. Plenty of NPM packages are useful beyond the JS ecosystem, and I think until you get a better and more reliable system for distributing those packages, NPM is probably going to be here to stay, like it or not.

No one is 100% renewable yet, and it will be real hard in asia-pacific. The local grids don't have it built out yet. Even Google, which is pushing hard on this, only has 4% renewable in that region.

TBH, I find that doubtful. If my installer chooses cheap inverters or microinverters, my local inspector won't know or care.

The issues with inspections in the US are more around timing and difficulty. Utilities are not required to respond in a timely manner, so solar companies spend inordinate amounts of time managing the inspection process.
Ah, sorry, I totally missed that parent.
I'd say learn Hokkien first, which as a Min dialect has a more conservative phonology, which will help more than Mandarin when learning Japanese and Korean. The rest is a matter of test.

What a load of bulls---. For removing chemicals activated charcoal does a better job, also if the clay filter stops the chemicals they must build up inside the clay until the clay can no longer absorb more just like the charcoal filter. Also my home filter has a silver matrix to kill the bacteria.

As for changing the water to be alkaline, that means it must add a chemical to your water, how much will that last and what chemical you you be drinking then?

We also had a problem with namecheap threatening to turn off one of our production domains unless we immediately removed a page hosted at a particular URL. Apparently they had received a complaint from a third-party anti-phishing company [1] which said we were hosting a phishing page at that URL. It was a complete false alarm as we were definitely not hosting a phishing page! This would have been obvious to any human actually looking at the page. However, when we tried to argue this with namecheap support, they informed us that the only way not to have our domain promptly shut down was to either remove the page OR get the third-party company to confirm to namecheap that our page was not a phishing page (!). In other words, they would not even look at the page themselves and use their common sense to confirm it wasn't a phishing page. We briefly tried to contact the third-party company, but we were not able to get any sort of response from them at all. So we just took our page down. Namecheap support then confirmed that we would not be losing our domain this time, but shockingly followed up that if they received a single further complaint that our entire account would be shut down permanently as they have a single-strike rule. We promptly migrated our ~50 domains to another registrar.

[1] These companies are hired by organizations like banks to scour the web for phishing sites and have them shut down by reporting them to their hosting providers and/or domain registrars. Obviously our legitimate page was incorrectly flagged by whatever algorithm the company used.
Hey, that reminds me of Cloudflare's response to Phishing Reports. Someone claims you're phishing? Page gets locked and there's no recourse. You can reach out to Trust & Safety, but I've never gotten a reply in over a year. Tech support just says "sorry, we can't do anything about it". So you either live with some page(s) on your site getting a big fat "EVIL LURKS AHEAD" warning, or you migrate off of CF.

That said, with Hetzner I've had the trademark complaints as well, but they've always given us 24h, and were always okay with us saying that our usage (e.g. showing a logo of a shop next to their review) was fair use.
So outside of the context of most of the previous discussion:

> I'm really reacting to arguments about gentrification, where people do talk about "rights" to stay in a particular neighborhood that apparently get passed via genetic material.

What is it that bothers you about this? Basically - my counter argument is: If a person has been living in an area for decades, and that area is now gentrifying, can't it be reasonably expected that person (or their family) were fundamentally a part of driving that gentrification?

It means that person was putting in their labor and money into that location for decades, and that labor and money was key for creating the conditions that are allowing for gentrification (even if the final catalyst was something else - like a company using the stable area for new expansion)

Simplifying - My counter argument is that forcing this person out is robbing them of the fruit of their labor: A nice neighborhood. They were there when it wasn't nice. They worked in making it nice. Now you kick them out because they were working with a lower income to do it (usually meaning they put in considerably more "sweat equity"). Seems pretty unfair to me.

A little surprised to see these posts still crop up when to me it seems like these records aren't news anymore, but rather the expectation. I saw someone on here point out that instead of repeatedly saying "this is the hottest X on record" we should start saying "this is expected to be the coolest X for the next 100 years".
I know Japanese and have tried to learn the other two. (Didn't have enough motivation to keep going, and besides, there is always more Japanese to learn...)

Korean has similar grammar and some words share etymology with Chinese/Japanese, which is why Koreans can learn Japanese so quickly. The pronounciation is harder but hangul is not too hard to learn. I felt like I could have learned Korean pretty well given a year or so.

Chinese has completely different grammar, tone system is very hard for most people, no hiragana/katakana (so even simple words like 'Chocolate' are written with relatively complex characters, which you have to learn to read and write). The kanji is mostly the same but there are lots of Chinese-only variants particularly if you go simplified (mainland China) over traditional (Taiwan etc.). I found it quite difficult, particularly the tones. There is a lot of regional variation too, and crucially, I couldn't find any interesting Chinese media and have no interest in visiting the mainland, so it was pointless to continue.
> I believe they did something like force cloud-login with some software update a few years back.

No, what they did was update the software to prefer cloud-login and push you to set it up during onboarding for new products because they use cloud-login for remote management and anti-theft/device tracking.

It's always been entirely optional. I just set up a new network because I moved and gifted my previous network to the buyer's of my prior home. I'm still using local accounts only with no remote management, and it works perfectly fine on the latest generation of Ubiquiti gear with the latest firmwares. The only thing I login to my UI account for is to use the store and buy hardware.

The other thing with Brian Krebs was a faked security incident by an insider who was trying to extort money from Ubiquiti and Brian Krebs played the fool by assisting them.

Granted, there are /many/ issues I have with Ubiquiti, but generally speaking if you use local accounts and keep the firmware updated it is no worse than any other edge networking device exposed to the Internet.

Open-source rival for OpenAI’s DALL-E runs on your graphics card
I think it’s a situation of, women can always find someone to hook up with because they’re a woman. A lot of men out there are truly lonely because they’re never even chosen. At least that’s what I gather from friends that are struggling with the app-centric dating landscape.
Not exactly a script, but I have a UserStyle applied to Hacker News (using Stylus: <https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/styl-us/>). Here are the best bits:

1. Preserve single newlines that people typed in: Often people hit Return only once, and their intended formatting becomes a wall of text. Hacker News preserves the newline in the HTML.

.commtext {
white-space: pre-wrap;
}
.commtext .reply {
white-space: normal; /* fix extraneous whitespace caused by first rule */
}

2. Vertical lines to visually represent thread depth!

.ind {
background-image: repeating-linear-gradient(to right, transparent 0px 39px, rgba(204, 204, 204, 1.0) 39px 40px);
}
Why not just use a smart breaker, similar to the smart panel you're talking about?
It’s nice to finally have a name for what I suppose is an incurable addiction (maybe 1K books in my library). The most fun for me is buying almost exclusively used books, and then finding interesting inscriptions in them, or when the books come from an interesting place (many have ex-university library marks/stamps). For instance, I have a first printing of Weiner’s The Human Use of Human beings that came from the Redford Arsenal Library.
Don’t use go daddy you silly goose. No one trusts them for shit.
That's at the same time true and misleading. Land usage for energy crops will vary year on year (natural crop rotation). On top of that, only some crops are really disturbing people living close by (e.g. rapeseed stinks when wet). Large-scale PV installations really look and feel bad when you live or walk right next to them. Wherea a field of wheat, corn, or rapeseed somewhat feels natural and even has its beauty, solar panels just look ugly up close.

So the question is: Will you find enough locations that don't annoy the locals and once you found them will your project survive the inevitable intrigues amongst land owners over who gets to rent out their land for the lucrative PV installations?

Even though it's more expensive, I think that using rooftops and other already occupied spaces first is a more sensible route.
> Would I prefer a solar system that is 1/3 the cost but 1/4 the life in the US? I don't know.

Hmmm.

If we assume that solar panels are rapidly advancing, then probably?

The reason 'move fast and break things' works for computers, is that computers are gonna be upgraded in 2 years anyway and we are going to rewrite everything in 5 to 10 years with whatever new programming language becomes popular then.

--------

If solar panels are going such a revolution, then yeah, shorter lifespan and short term decisions dominate.
How to create a blog post title optimizer with GPT-3 and Hacker News data
I’ve been doing this for over 20 years, and have the same results. The only spam I get is to a few addresses where there was a data breach (LinkedIn). I have another account where I don’t do this, and it gets around a dozen messages per day from the completely illegal spammers (no opt-out, etc).

However, it’s entirely possible I’m not seeing many messages that are getting blocked by spam controls (gmail), so I hesitate to draw any sweeping conclusions about it.

I’m also very cautious about what I sign up for. I can say that from what I’ve seen with others, the amount of spam and phishing is very dependent on what you do. For example marketing people need to go widely distribute their addresses as part of their job, and I definitely see them receiving far more spam/phishing than others.
Induction is great, but an electric kettle costs like 10 bucks while changing your stove is a huge investment that includes replacing all your pots and pans, plus if you were using gas before now your household electricity consumption grows very noticeably. Not really a comparable option in my opinion.
I've seen a shift. Between 2005-2010, I used [company]@[mydomain.com], and I noticed that I would get spam in the form of [gibberish]@[mydomain.com], presumably from spammers who were just targeting email addresses with a catch-call filter. In fact, around that time, my hosting provider, Dreamhost, started restricting email catch-alls to deal with this problem.

But then from around 2010 onward, that type of spam became much less common, and nowadays it's as you say. The vast majority, probably 90%, come from compromised accounts, like linkedin@[mydomain.com]. The rest hit the unique email addresses I have submitted in domain registration forms.

That's even more surprising considering that I've since shifted to using [username]+[company]@[mydomain.com]. Spammers could pretty easily strip off the `+[company]`, but I haven't seen that happen much.

Improperly installed solar can be quite dangerous to both the homeowner and grid workers.

If it's not grid-tie, I say have at it. Require by law that the property specify that the work was not done by a professional if it's ever sold and the only people exposed to that risk are mostly the people who made the bad decisions.

If it's grid-tied (or accidentally grid-tied) not having a properly installed and configured transfer switch could quite literally mean (and has meant, plenty of times) killing a maintenance worker.

If that's even a possibility it's not responsible to allow DIY work in this area.
