Godaddy competitor here.

This doesn't sound right for a few reasons.

First Godaddy manages a massive amount of domains. For them to be doing anything like this would really defy common sense. They'd be hit with tons of complaints and importantly so would ICANN. AND ICANN (from our experience) will send out a notice (which creates paperwork for us) on any complaint literally for any reason. You have to respond to it so they clear the complaint. It's a pain and separate from any other reason a big incentive to not have people complain to ICANN (which can happen even if you are not at fault). ICANN also audits from time to time and they will pick a number of domains and make you show logs that you have sent out notices. (But my initial point is the more important issue).

Further ICANN requires that registrars send out multiple email notifications. They specify a number (I think it's about 4 or 5). So it doesn't make sense (especially for Godaddy) that this could have happened '1 notice 2 hours to respond'. And only a single notice.

As far as the cost, registrars are charged by the underlying registry (.com/.net .org .info) to bring a domain out of redemption. That charge is about 4x roughly what a .com domain costs for a year so it's not trivial. Then that charge is marked up by most if not all registrars. Our fee is less than what is stated here but it's not nominal either.

Separate I have a few of my own domains at Godaddy (and some other registrars) 'just because'. I always get plenty of notices from them it's almost annoying.

One last point. ICANN requires a domain to be put on hold prior to going into redemption. There is no doubt that Godaddy is doing this. As such your first notice of domain not working would be it's on hold not it's in redemption (and set to delete). Seems that this domain was not being used by the OP and they didn't pay (which they acknowledged) and it was deleted and they didn't notice it was on hold (specifically to get domain owners attention). I don't know what the 'off hold' fee is that godaddy charges my guess is it's less than the redemption fee.
I've been using Deno in production at work for a while, and NPM compatibility is the one thing dragging me back to Node, some packages like Elasticsearch simply won't work in Deno, if they solve that I'll be throwing a party for all HN where we collectively remove Node from all my development workspaces.
"Proving", in this case, is whether the performance of one title is better than another at statistically significant level.

Performance can be faceted by referrer if necessary if there's a need to control the results further, or exclude sources where title A/B testing can't feasibly be done or has noticeably different behavior. (an example is using a different title for social sharing vs. the article title itself)

This is generally how title A/B testing works at every major online publisher.
Ironically, my "spam-magnet" email doesn't get spam, but my "official" email gets tons of spam. It started out with people that bought my email address specifically to spam a different person with my name. Now I also get generic spam, probably as a result of scraping it from my pdf resume.

I agree on the TPA not using the secure element on the phone is an issue, but I wasn't addressing low quality authenticator apps, but for apps or for tokens you're assuming that the developers haven't cheaped out.

> A smartphone OS ...

Yes, and the same applies to tokens albeit with simpler logic, and the same applies to any PC. So at some point you're saying "I trust that the company producing the product I'm using is not lying in their security documentation".

> .. Reviews ...

Correct, because reviewers are talking about feature set, competent phone companies provide extensive documentation of the security architecture of the devices. Security researchers periodically write up their investigations.

> These are opaque devices, with a huge attack surface.

No, by the standards you have presented all your devices are opaque, but unlike every other device you own the default security model of a well designed phone is far stronger than any other device you have. They don't run arbitrary code, they don't support loading code into kernel space, user partitions are completely separated from the read only system partitions, etc.
I have no clue what you just wrote here lol and that is exactly my point.
Is it? Land is relatively cheap in much of the US. Electronics and other “stuff” in general is cheap too. Energy too, in my experience.
Depends on the game. Free to play games like Apex Legends and Fortnite are free to play online on both Xbox and Switch and PlayStation.
Yeah, like real estate agents, where a huge amount of the work is just trying to find new people to handle a house sale for, rather than any sort of productive work on selling houses, and the useful:useless work ratio gets worse as there are more agents out there.

I’d much rather just pay an engineer $1,000 to whip up some plans, and then hire people to follow those plans, rather than pay indirectly for a bunch of failed sales calls. Which is what I’m ending up doing.
I don’t understand how this comment relates to my tweet. I agree with you that nobody knows how to do anything and won’t until they start. That’s why you really want to spend some time working with highly experienced people, in whatever career you choose.

I’m not talking about some vague concept of “leadership”. Most of the experienced engineers I worked with on Chrome weren’t even officially “leads”. They were individual contributors just like me.

I’m talking about the nitty gritty day to day details of writing robust reliable software. Class or function here? How should I test this? How should we detangle this spaghetti code? What order should we conquer this bug list in?

If you want to make a good software product it’s best to have people on your team who have made many software products before successfully.
US government take on this:

https://www.energy.gov/eere/solar/solar-futures-study

> Although land acquisition poses challenges, land availability does not constrain solar deployment in the scenarios.

> In 2050, ground-based solar technologies require a maximum land area equivalent to 0.5% of the contiguous U.S. surface area, which could be met in numerous ways including use of disturbed or contaminated lands unsuitable for other uses. The maximum solar land area required is equivalent to less than 10% of potentially suitable disturbed lands, avoiding conflicts with high-value lands in current use.

> Various approaches are available to mitigate local impacts or even enhance the value of land that hosts solar systems. Installing photovoltaic (PV) systems on water bodies, in farming or grazing areas, and in ways that enhance pollinator habitats are potential ways to enhance solar energy production while providing benefits such as lower water evaporation rates and higher agricultural yields.

> Expanding rooftop PV could reduce solar land use. Almost 200 GW of rooftop PV are deployed in the decarbonization scenarios by 2050 (10%–20% of total solar deployment). However, the technical potential for U.S. rooftop PV is greater than 1,000 GW, and efforts to promote rooftop PV could increase deployment beyond the modeled level.
I did the same thing. I noticed that every now and then some dodgy site would sell on the email and I would get spam from those for a year or so. Then they would stop emailing those emails.
This a great a suggestion that will certainly appeal to my neighbour!
I agree 99% - the exception being the mouse. Since it is meant to be moved around, any obstacle (such as cable) really changes how it handles. I didn't believe it until I went to wireless and then (for a short time) back.

Otherwise agree for keyboard, network, headphones,... Wires work.
I usually just call this "bothering to think". The initial gut-level 'thinking' is really just pattern-matching.
For those unfamiliar, J. Alex Halderman is probably the leading academic researcher on the security of computerized elections (he's in the same UM security research group as Peter Honeyman, Chris Peikert, and Kevin Fu).

The tl;dr for Antrim County seems to be that the county spotted an error in their ballot format a few weeks before the election and got their ballot vendor to generate new ballots, but failed to consistently update all their equipment, so in a bunch of precincts all the Presidential votes got shifted by one candidate. Real votes for Biden were discarded, votes for Trump were recorded for Biden, and votes for Libertarian candidate Jo Jorgenson were recorded for Trump. A small remainder of incorrect votes somehow (I'm not reading carefully, but the paper has it exactly) had to do with miscoding of straight-ticket voting options.

Interestingly, a single discrepancy that apparently Halderman found on his own may have altered the outcome of a ballot initiative in Central Lake, MI, which was decided by one vote.
This is an interesting project, but it's really, really young. At time of writing, it's four days old.

I'll keep an eye on it, though.
I've definitely had spam to some of mine -- Especially t-mobile after they had a compromize some years back.

There's no "neutral" here, just different flavors of political. Indifference to and support of a war of aggression are both legitimate political positions. But they are unavoidably political positions.

At this point, there are 5000+ dead Ukrainian civilians. If at this point you are more concerned about Russian citizens buying domains names from one vendor than you are about Ukrainian civilians getting blown up, that's in no way a neutral position. Similarly, you and Namecheap both have freedom of association. Their using it to enhance sanctions against Russia is exactly as political as you using it to boycott them for their choice.
I do teach math. If the exams are given in class, then I don't have any choice but hard copy. Exams are free-response, where showing your work matters, and these are difficult to pigeonhole into any particular format.

As for Blackboard, I find it obtuse, slow, and painful to use. Anything you want to do requires multiple clicks, each of which takes a noticeable amount of time. Not that much, but after a lot of clicks my patience quickly runs thin.

It is also a very elaborate piece of software, which has a very particular idea of what a course should look like -- and this idea is based on conversations with senior administrators, not with faculty or students. It is after all the former who are making the purchasing decisions. You can read this famous Twitter thread on Blackboard and baby clothes:

https://twitter.com/random_walker/status/1182635589604171776

I have no desire to adapt my course to anyone else's workflow, let alone to one I find obtuse.

That said, I am unusually stubborn in this regard, even by the standards of math departments. For example I still prefer to keep my schedule as a .txt file, rather than using Google Calendar/Outlook/etc., which pretty well marks me as a luddite. Not everyone hates BB.
Its not just employee vs employer but at large enough corporations most effort is spent on infighting between departments.
Twilio Incident: What Signal Users Need to Know
The data used to train those model is specifically filtered to remove sexual content, so the model can't generate porn because it has no idea what it looks like, beyond a few samples that made it past the filter.

So no, your "friend" can't use it for that.
Not just pasturage, but other wasteful and dumb land uses. All of California's energy needs and much more could be provided by a PV plant covering Edwards Air Force Base, with ordinary dirt-cheap panels on fixed mountings.

People greatly overestimate the footprint of solar power, and underestimate the footprint of oil and gas. Every oil and gas well in the nation sits on a 1-5 acre pad that has been scraped flat and denuded of all life. The area that has been sacrificed for this purpose in west Texas and Wyoming absolutely dwarfs the area that we would need to replace that production with PV.

I genuinely don't understand why big names, who are generally considered very smart, are sinking money into this. I'm trying really hard to stay curious here, and wonder what they see that I don't.

Unfortunately I seem to be mostly just landing on upset that this charlatan is being given more resources to waste.

Lol yeah not my best writing. Agreed
Not a single comment here on the macrodynamics of corruption - petroleum industry does NOT want a major shift to solar, as that would imply cheaper (or free) gas for your (now electric) vehicle.

Cheap/free fuel is an existential threat to their business model. The fact that fossil fuel is a major contributor to climate change is glossed over as long as the $$ roll in.

Their end game is to make it impossible for us to transition to another energy source until they have wrung every possible last cent from this one.

Thus, tariffs on solar, attacks on EV adoption, and demonization of nuclear are clearly things that have worked wonders for their bottom line.
Labor prices are high because there is a shortage of people willing to do the work at lower rates. The US labor market is very tight, doubly so if you are in a high-COL area because those have even stronger growth.

If you don't want clutter inside your breaker panel, you can install just the relevant clamps (1 heat pump clamp, 1 air handler clamp)

As far as smart heat pumps/air handlers go; I've wanted that too. It's not too technically challenging, depending what functionality you want. But I have a lot of stuff on my list of cool projects I want to do.
Such gravitational force for sure, node_modules size is huge.

Sorry.
This is so classist (not your comment but op). To imply that folks who don't own their home shouldn't/couldn't be "proud" to bring their loved ones there. Are you kidding me? Entire generations, communities, families have lived and died in rental housing. Entire swaths of the population. This shows very little respect for them.
It just expresses the fact that temperatures have been rising already over the 20th century. It would make sense to make the comparison even in 1999.
I've deployed Unifi equipment in a number of small home and office environments without any problems at all. Some have been running for a decade or more. Management is a piece of cake and in homes it has high SAF (Spouse Appreciation Factor) because it just works.

Ah I see that is pretty cool then. Wish you the best in your ventures there.
Lawyer up, and get some private security preferably armed with tasers at a minimum.

You got a great bargain, now these expenses are the price of doing business.
The lack of packages in Golang is super annoying though. And I wonder about the mess it will be when something better than git will be popular.
The changing iconography of Byzantine gold coinage
Agreed, but sadly, most europe is out of the game. Flexing muscles against weak nations or sanctioning allies wont help this time. Some wanted to limit aid at sending helmets. With such allies i am surprised nato is still a thing. There is no desire for being a “force of good” or bringing “freedom” to countries or “liberating” peoples even if fellow europeans. Europe lacks a moral compass and such ideals are seen as naive and even laughed at. I am not even sure some will do much to defend nato members, not just because they wouldn't want but simply because they cant despite perceived economic power. Such is europe.
I haven't had issues with let's encrypt with them in the last 2 years, though I do recall seeing free SSL promotions and never a certificate.
This and other threads on Mensa brings out the worst display of cognitive biases in the comments.

Most people have no lived experience with (or even much exposure to) Mensa yet they have this unexamined notion that it is must be necessarily bad because its basic premise is flawed.

Then there are those who generalize from very small sample sizes and exaggerate. These are the most cringey commenters.

The basic premise is flawed. Yet there are lots of things in life that seem like fundamentally bad ideas but are actually ok in reality — it is from reality that we must learn from, not the mental model.

I was part of Mensa in my youth because I was developmentally gifted and it gave a community of peers older than me that made feel less alone. There were very few settings at the time where a younger person could interact with older people who were smart and generally successful in life. The tribe of nerdy recluses with no social skills is definitely represented but they were not the majority — again people with small and biased samples would not know this.

The small sample size problem is at the root of many cognitive biases but most people lack the discipline to withhold judgment and look for disconfirming evidence.
If you have openings you can't fill, doesn't it make sense to open those up to people with the right skills who can't hold FT jobs?
The fun thing is, governments survive partially on taxing energy. This means that solar adoption will cause governments ... to tax solar (funny detail: taxing the sun has historically caused the French government to topple). And it will be expensive or recurring because it will have to replace income the government would have collected from you using 1W for the lifespan of the solar installation.

And this is ignoring that from a certain point the electricity grid will only be necessary in cities and for large amounts of power. Either governments let city electricity go up in price by A LOT or they start doing things like mandating a connection to the grid (even when you don't need or want it)
I have no love for GoDaddy, but honestly, it sounds like you failed to renew your domain because your credit card was expired and their renewal warnings probably went into your spam folder the same way their most recent one did.

Sucks to say, but this is kind of on you. In general with any company, having a secondary payment method on file doesn't matter because autopay is only enabled for one (this is a feature, not a bug). And if their e-mails went to your spam, that's ultimately your problem as well (domain registrar e-mails are critical, you need to whitelist those).

I find it extremely unlikely that there were "no further emails or announcements" -- registrars are generally desperate to have you keep renewing, and will repeatedly send you e-mails if autopay fails. (Intentionally allowing GoDaddy domains of mine to expire in the past probably sent me 10-20 warning e-mails each, often daily.) But if your spam folder autodeletes messages after X days you can't find those either.

In any case, GoDaddy didn't cancel your domain -- you let it expire. And the €150 isn't a fine, it's a redemption fee which is standard with any registrar to recover a cancelled domain. With any registrar if you let your domain expire, it's going to get expensive.

Considering GDP per capita is ~12.6 times higher in the US - that's probably equivalent to ~$16k in US labor costs (80%).
I wasn't counting 1st party spam as spam because in many cases I like the information I get (usually sales on things I buy). I should have pointed that out in my post. Thanks for making the distinction.
But you’ve stumbled on an even better solution! Now you are spam free + tracking free.
>it’s very plausible Apple invests more R&D into custom silicon and/or security in a year than these companies make in total revenue from selling cameras.

Why would you compare all of Apple to the subset of Sony that is cameras? That's a dishonest comparison, especially if you're going to complain about apples to oranges comparisons. Why not Apple camera revenue to Sony camera revenue?

And both have very little to do with the cost to make a secure chip, which either can easily afford if desired. Apple's not spending a significant amount of their budget on the security components, after all, are they?

Certainly Sony makes enough revenue and spends enough on R&D to develop state of the art technology, including security hardware.

>One hopes that Sony learned from PS3

You really think they learned nothing since the PS3?
Walmart may be doing poorly, but Carrefour(French version of Walmart) is doing much better. There are also local alternatives, so it's not the concept behind Walmart that doesn't work, it's Walmart itself that has failed.
I do think that space efficiency and good availability for nuclear are a reasonable argument for that technology. That doesn't mean we also shouldn't be putting solar onto every flat surface in the country, homes, businesses, parking lots, etc.
I should have specified that it was only retail, not social media or politics.
I've been doing it for 20 years. Yes, or conversely, seeing "You need to update your Capital One password" being sent to my custom addresses for AAA, Telecom, Linkedin, etc.
The streams discussed in the article are neither text nor binary. They're record-oriented files, which are not supported by the C language standard. Operations on record-oriented files are a vendor extension that work however the vendor says they work.

On the other hand, record-oriented files work just peachy with ISO standard COBOL.
Not sure if it's mentioned in the webpage but the biggest possible issue with this WG setup is if the ISP's DHCP changes your endpoint IP (or worse, the ISP double NATs their customers).
Why is it that sexual content is so frowned upon in this space? If it's a content publishing platform I would understand that advertisers don't want that, but this is literally dictating people what is bad and good. I just don't understand this Puritan outrage with text-to-image porn generation.
There is a huge shortage of people in the trades and plumbers will charge what what the market can bear. Also plumbing and electrical are two things where if you do them wrong you can incur many thousands of dollars in damage very quickly. As a plumber you spend a lot of time "off the clock" - driving to houses, buying parts, doing paperwork, staying up to date on code. If they can't cover those expenses they can't be a plumber.
Building an In-Browser IDE the Hard Way
>waste handling is still not a solved problem

Yes, yes it is.

1. There are a number of sites that have the geological stability and impermeability for long term storage.

2. Thorium reactors can take nuclear waste products and re-process them down (along side their standard thorium fuel) into “radioactive waste” that only needs a century or two of minimal safe storage before it’s harmless.

3. Modern _non-breeder_ reactors produce very little of the severe waste that needs billions of years of storage. Problem is, many current reactors in the States are breeder reactors that are _meant_ to help build nuclear weapons, and so are optimized to produce massive amounts of highly radioactive waste.
