The owner went to jail. You think GoDaddy is going to give people a domain in-perpetuity for free? Are you unfamiliar with their business model or something?
Personally with DP cables, especially if you're looking for a longer length cable or wanting to push a higher bit rate through it, then you're better off just spending a bit extra and getting a proper VESA certified cable.
This should be a crime, like selling spoiled food.
I am very tired of seeing this BS story. The site does not contain any writing. It runs an algorithm that reassembles the inputs you give it into references to lists of characters. To say that the site "contains" your writing is to say that the alphabet contains your writing because "every story can be made from it."

The story even starts out by saying that your writing was not stored -- because there isn't even a fraction of enough storage for that. Yet it goes on to imply that magically your writing exists there, possibly even violating copyright.

The idea of an algorithmic text parser surreptitiously publishing your valuable writing is akin to believing in the Mechanical Turk. Please stop promoting this.

It's possible to live on floating platforms, because O2 is lighter than CO2. By capturing of sunlight (or strong winds), platform can generate a lot of energy to split CO2 into O2 and carbon, to keep platform flying forever, even with moderate leaks.

That's the standard way of making fake memory cards. The "innovation" of this scam is the nice enclosure.

The firmware is actually not much of a hack, but quite in line with how flash memory operates. Flash memory can't be modified, but rather needs to be bulk erased and then written. Thus an address doesn't indicate a physical place but rather goes through some indirection data structure. The hacked firmware just reports a larger capacity, and silently discards older blocks it's supposed to be hanging onto.
Does this apply also to sax? I've listened to some (mainly old) recordings where the sax seems clearly out of tune; sometimes it's subtle but there are recordings in which it's so off that one wonders if it's done on purpose (1) and personally I really dislike it. Back in the day there weren't digital effects or they were so primitive that applying pitch correction on the fly while maintaining sound quality and spectral integrity was out of question, still tape recorders allowed to finely set their speed, so tuning the song to a sax being recorded would have been trivial.

(1) Example: "get up an get out" by Iggy Pop.

Sadly no, they have the "marketplace" problem that Amazon does where you never know who actually provided the widget you are buying, and they have a an even worse problem where they scam people out of returns.

For what it's worth, the "Amazon's Choice" for me is a legitimately 1TB USB Drive (from PNY).
> This is a recursive definition of scientist "A scientist(t=n) is someone approved by scientists(t=n-1)".

You're simply reformulating what peer means in peer-review.

What other way would you suggest? Layman-review?

> I mean, most banks don't require ID to make a deposit.

Due to money laundering regulations, that isn't really true anymore. Most banks straight up won't take cash deposits into someone else's account, identification or not. Other means (ACH, etc.) require KYC from the originating institution. I'm not sure about secure funds like a money order, but I'm guessing they'd be subject to some sort of verification as well.
Unfortunately, the reverse will also be true: if you like the conclusions or implications, it must be credible.

This is confirmation bias, and has been used for terrible reasons, as well as to great comedic effect (see Sea Matheson fat studies)
Even if you had unlimited time it’s unlikely you’d become an expert in many things, even if many only means 3-5.

I know this isn’t very scientific, but as someone who’s struggled with this same question I would suggest just diving into any one of the things that you’re interested in. From there let your instincts and intuition naturally decide what you continue doing and what you abandon.

I’ve learned that it’s hard to force continued work in any area that feels like a slog. Our personalities are tuned to prefer certain activities or fields of study over others.

Find what feels natural and go, go, go.
The beauty of decentralization means that ENS is not at the mercy of GoDaddy or eth.link. You can use an alternative open-source proxy like eth.limo[1], or use Infura, Alchemy, or query the ENS endpoint through a local blockchain node.

Frustratingly, the critics and mainstream reporting[2] has misrepresented this as some failure of decentralization, ENS, or Web3. Or, they just don't know how the system works.

Because as the scammer once you have the payment from the purchaser, you don't care. And a 0.5TB disk would cut into your 'margins' on something like this.
With 7 people in the company, I would assume that you are close-knit in terms of trust. If that is not the case, then either you need to verify if there is trust or you have verified and there is some missing trust: I think this is underlying reason that you asked the question in the first place. I think this might present an opportunity for you to build trust.

Why I think you should share strategic information with your early employees?
In my opinion, not sharing strategic partnerships to early employees misses the point of building trust with your early employees. Your early employees are in it for the experience of ups and down, and they will be benefit from both. Critical feedback from them is especially important at this time.

You will have situations where an employee or even a co-founder leaves, I think you have to be ready for that.
That's wild. I had had no idea.
How is selling ads "stealing"?

If 50% of the users are bot followers bought by PACs from foreign countries - who are gluing posters to the walls, enraging actual customers, and ordering free waters - how much time do the regulars want to spend there?

Figure out a way to charge the PACs for the spammy vitriol that they bought and smeared all over Biz, Evan, Noah, and Jack's.
This would be a terrible heuristic, as it would reward western bad science (it exists, it just looks differently) and punish great scientists who just happen to be born in the "wrong" place.

Paradoxically enough, it would be the opposite of science.
Well, if you think about it "iMail" can be thought of combining "I" or "Me" and "Mail". So, "My Mail" or "Mail for Me".

How does "KMail" sound like phonetically ? KayMail ? KeiMeil ?
It just doesn't give the same vibe. The designers at Apple know that "iPhone" means something to the user.

Even gPhone would be better, but Google has that covered already.
KDE doesn't really stand for anything or it's phonetical counterpart doesn't communicate anything meaningful to the user.

I just looked it up and, K used to stand for "Kool", but already that is not a real word, doesn't look good or even sound good, at least to my ears or thinking.

Also iMac came from "Internet" back then, so it had multiple meanings behind it.
I browsed a number of definitions of "colony" and none seem to include displaced indigenous people.

Some definitions seem to focus on the emigrants (and descendents), and some definitions are more about the region being colonized. But the displaced (or killed) people are neither.

The comment to which I replied was talking about weapon superiority. If by "deprivations of colonialism" it meant the indigenous people being deprived, then it would make a lot more sense to say "deprivations of invasion". But that's not saying much: that better weapons are more effective at invasion.
Brave has one built in.
The writing is strange in general - "The drive is far from being one of the best SSDs, but it deserves a spot on everyone's blocklist." is an odd one to parse too.
I watched this guy's Youtube video and think he's a kook, but interested in reading this to see what he says.
casual slander of people who can choose their food? The Organic Standard of the USDA is one of the great achievements of the modern times, along with the US Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, establishment of the EPA and the Endangered Species Act. Organic foods standard was the work of thousands of people, companies and academics over a decade+. Small farmers have a chance to compete in niche markets as a relief from crushing food commodity pricing.

personal spite is misplaced, and ignorant actually.

Of course a big reason they expire is so the registrars can get money from you registering them, they aren't providing much service. A much more sensible system is they wouldn't expire. The domain registration industrial complex, with the zillions of dodgy groups that squat on domains is of course not providing much value to the world.
Personally I get intrigued whenever people talk passionately in a jargon about a subject I don’t know: I want to find out what it is about and what exactly fascinates them. And I want to be fascinated by it as well (if possible), maybe they know something I don’t.

So, I get into it and in the end I maybe understand, but I also realise that just by reading it I would have never gotten the complete picture, I had to experience it myself to get there.

In the case of Haskell I like it a lot, even though I don’t use it on the job, the insights I’ve had I am able to utilise in other programming languages (C# at my current job) Anyway, even if that was not a possibility, the journey itself was nice. So maybe just try it out with some tutorials? Or don’t if you don’t feel like it

By the way it maybe appeals more to programmers who build their mental model around the code itself and not the machine running it. (This is an intuition I have which I cannot back up, but I got to know programmers who have to try everything out to understand it, see how the computer reacts and build their mental model around it, and I know programmers who reason about the code itself, the meaning it has. Maybe this intuition is BS.)
Was this article written by A.I.? So weird.
The glissando at the opening of rhapsody in blue is not a counterexample to fixed tuning. It is a specific technique availed by having open holes under the fingers: by sliding the fingers slowly off the holes, and partially covering the holes, you can get a glissando effect. This same technique is used to create semitones.

Both of these are very difficult to do precisely, and come at a significant cost in the agility of the player. They are more equivalent to pitch bending on a guitar than adjusting tuning systems on a violin, which has almost no impact. Instruments with valves and hole covers, like bassoons, make techniques like this extremely difficult if not impossible.

However, the holes in the instrument are drilled at specific places along the length of the instrument corresponding to specific notes. This is what gives the instrument its tuning. Hole positions are calculated and drilled very precisely to make sure that the instrument is in tune. It is not accurate to say that these instruments do not have fixed tuning. The tuning is literally drilled into the body of the instrument.
It’s also a consequence of programs like “Kindle Unlimited” where your pay as an author is directly tied to how many pages are read.
Uh. It doesn't work like that.

When it comes to ICANN, rules are rules.
Real names, i.e. you search for these names (in the menu) and they show up.
Along with that, I've found that fiber based cables tend to be more reliable than the copper ones. I suspect this is because the media conversion causes there to be a cleaner signal at the output since it has to completely recreate it rather than just amplifying it. Leading to better clocking and less rounding of the edges from capacitance of the cable.
I’ve done it for other people multiple times. Not sure about godaddy though.
The biggest problem of email is non verifiable routing due to header manipulation and lack of source authorization.

If these were in place then it would be able to send all spam back to sender, instead of putting it a spam folder due to filtering, your email client just would send it back to the origin address.

It also would help if each send would cost a token (of some monetary system) that would be returned on delivery at the legitimate destination. This would help against bulk sending.

Email is a system that will always cripple at some point if there aren't real world cost incentives in place.

People are the biggest problem with email, which is hard to solve with mere technical solutions.
Got their “low end” typeheaven used after hearing about it here. The sensitivity takes some getting used to, but it encourages hard typers like me to soften up, which is better for speed and comfort. Overall love it, totally silent
There's a big literature on this in Chinese history -- many arguments concentrate on economics and labor specifically (to crudely sum it up, there was always lots of cheap labor available, and little incentive to invest the capital to develop and build expensive machinery so as to replace it). There are cultural and intellectual arguments too.

But this piece is totally wrongheaded in that it supposes that South China is China. For most of Chinese history, North China has been politically, socially, and culturally dominant (and not infrequently economically dominant too). It's too cold and arid to grow rice, and thus grows wheat and other grains. (This is why the cuisine is dominated by bready dumplings, e.g. mantou) Some of the author's arguments about rivers could apply to the Huang He (the Yellow River), too, but it has historically been much more central to Chinese civilization than the Yangzi ("Yangtze", or Chang Jiang - lit. "long river").
Prioritize what you love to do, love to work on. You will naturally become an expert in the areas you like to do.

Also good ideas aren’t vague, “I want to be an expert in many things” is too vague for an attainable goal.
Digital video chroma sub-sampling literally has quarter chroma resolution in 4:2:0 video which is or at least was fairly common for live action stuff. It's obviously not going to be great for recording output from a computer, with sharp coloured edges, but live action scenes look fine.

I don't think anybody would claim that their 4:2:0 Blu ray has "low resolution" because it used chroma sub-sampling.
price is arbitrary. Bits and bytes are free.
other than baby food/formula, it's not a crime to sell spoiled food (at least not in the USA)
Right, you’ll see pockets of individual corruption but that doesn’t account for why there is a systemic overpopulation. Unless you are suggesting every judge is on the take, in which case no amount of law reform will matter without first removing all of the judges.
There is no problem to 'fix'. The people who paid for eth.link domains do not own them, so GoDaddy has zero obligation to even acknowledge their existence. Hell, they're lucky they even got a statement at all, if I was them I'd just start selling off the domains slowly while I watch Twitter melt down.
I'm happy to see that they have taken this direction. So much more clear and better than previously. Now I wish Gimp would be one of those softwares taking direction from that. Still, the whole "Gnome desktop" sounds silly.
With valved brass instruments you are trying to approximate a logarithmic relationship with a linear sum of components. Trumpets have a high resonant Q, so not using the valve slides is going to produce out of tune notes. I played horn once upon a time. Horns have low resonant Q, so you just “lip it in”.
This is the main reason I hope for RISC-V's success as well.
When the ISA is easier, it is easier to write (JIT) compilers as well. Or debuggers, simulators, transpilers, everything really.
Imagine if RISC-V laptops were commonplace and students in compiler classes could write actually useful compilers for their own hardware!
When the lowest level (ISA) becomes more accessible, it hopefully leads to more competition and improvements in the layers above.
That’s a fair point: but it doesn’t change the underlying narrative. The ideology motivating development of (F)OSS alternatives frequently produces software that is not as good as that produced by a market-demand ideology.
Trust me, it works wonders in corporate US inter company business. I have been a subcontractor and prime, and have it down to an art in about 3 sentences + specifics about the request or response timeline.

The proximal desirability bias is that of publication gatekeepers. Biases of society at large also can play a significant role for certain topics.
If you have unlimited human chattel, who needs machines? (qv. maybe this applies to the Romans as well).
Yeah, there are several factors in this, for example a lot of people look at page counts (or book thickness) when deciding what to buy; thinking that thicker book = more information.
I was thinking the same thing. Never had a furnace cheaper than natural gas, was wondering how they got their figures.
No. They would just go elsewhere to commit offenses.

Retributive justice is not really effective when the offender’s world view internally justifies their actions.

It’s a common theme that criminals are victims of circumstance to such a degree that the enforcing entity is seen as another arm of the system that caused their criminal behavior in the first place.

Imagine being in a car crash, having difficult pains, getting prescribed
oxy- or hydrocodone, and after the script runs out, asking for a refill gets you a stamped as a drug seeker, never to receive another prescription ever again.

But the pain and the withdrawals are still there. This has created an incredible numbed of convicted criminals and homeless people. A Venn diagram of these two populations overlaps with people who spend nights in public toilets.

The goal is to increase the amount of time before the customer notices what they got is not what you claimed. If the drive's capacity immediately shows something different they will start whatever refund process within the window where that is allowed.
> It is 100% the reason that the US has so many incarcerated. Any time you can get government to foot the bill for something cottage industries will spring up around it.

That doesn’t make sense. Building a prison in itself doesn’t induce crime nor does it induce prison sentences. Judges and juries have no quotas to fill based on vacancy.

Like I said, just talk and no actions. Very common with extreme anti-crypto folks here.
You need to be more specific about your requirements. What size is a bunch? Internal or external? Flash or spinning rust?

In general stick to well known brands of whatever you're looking at. If you want to save money, then expand your knowledge of the lesser tier brands based on what people are talking about (eg r/buildapc r/buildapcsales). Make a spreadsheet of models across vendors, rather than trusting an individual vendor's search functionality. That's just a good idea anyway, to make sure you're not getting gouged by a vendor.

The scam listing under discussion doesn't even purport to have a brand name, not even a GENSYM brand. The only way you're going to get there is to search for capacity and sort by price. Don't do that.
It keeps overwriting the file data but keeps the folder structure. So it may take months to find out it was fake and by that point too late to return or get a refund.

So the answer to “why?” then is to make money with their scam and get as few refunds and returns as possible.
Presumably it'll fail quickly if you use full disk encryption. Or any filesystem other than NTFS, if it somehow interprets that in order to not overwrite directory blocks.

Hello HN,

Like many people I use a search engine on a daily basis, but none of the existing search engines are my perfect search engine. The results pages on many of the popular search engines are cluttered, link to too many unrelated services, and are bigger than they need to be. So I decided to roll my own minimal search engine that focuses on just giving search results. More info on the design and goals can be found at the Simple Search blog [0].

2x with skipping is the only way I can watch many “seminal” animes. Most of the time, due to cost saving measures taken while doing the animation, you’re not really missing anything by going fast.

This happens everyday. Nothing new. Hundreds of high value domains expire every week. Some can be worth six figures or more.

Everyone competes to “catch it” but usually, the registrar gets it and auctions it off.
