Agree, in that when I needed to learn some Egyptian Arabic in a hurry, Pimsleur worked very well for me. In languages where I do have the alphabet/writing down, other methods are very useful & complementary, but when I just need to be able to hold a conversation/catch a trolley, Pimsleur really comes through!
Thank you! I emailed you from my @proton.me email (in case it went to spam).
The Long Lines are a remarkable engineering achievement in two senses:

1. They are a milestone of microwave RF transmission coming to maturity, and being widely and economically used. This includes such aspects as analog transceiver front-end design, antenna design, reliability know-how etc.

2. Long Lines managed to relay analog voice calls over dozens of hops with enough quality to allow low-distortion human and early fax/modem communication over thousand of miles overall. This is an amazing achievement for the American society and economy at large.

Just to highlight how far we've come in terms of data capacity, a single TH-2 Long Line link could carry 900 calls. STM-1, the slowest standardized carrier grade payload framing currently in use (predominantly over fiber), carries 63 VC-12 containers, each with an E1, for a total capacity of 1890 calls.

Of course, the above is not an apples to oranges comparison as they use different transmission media. I was not able to locate information about the bandwidth of specific Long Line link types to calculate RF spectral efficiency, but the ballpark figure is an improvement of ~100x when compared to modern digital microwave links of similar bandwidth (accounting for both modulation and digital voice compression).
They classify some domains as "premium" and raise the price to make squatting (and ownership) more painful.
The renewal fee is on the domain management panel.
There is a clear pattern and clear consistency at play here and there is no violation of the w3c/wai standards involving these links.
I think it’s more that this truck is at the edge of viability as a long haul commercial vehicle. They don’t do things like this, and this truck doesn’t exist.
Since one of the parent comments mentioned AJAX, I'll add that you'll also be prevented from eval'ing that payload.
Almost every government worker has some sort of “immunity”, it’s not exactly something special cops have. Elected politicians have it, government workers have it. Hell, private employees have immunity when doing their jobs. If I make some mistake on a spreadsheet at work and my company loses $1B thankfully I’m not on the hook for it.

There is usually some threshold upon which “errors” moves beyond doing their job into personal actions that constitute a crime.

I’m all for cops being held accountable when their “errors” rise to the threshold of malfeasance and intention law breaking, but when it comes to subjective things like traffic stops, fining or imprisoning cops for every mistake seems unworkable.

This is not correct. Only registries can reserve domains. If a registrar "reserved" a domain, they'd have to have bought it from the registry.

That’s not strictly true. That was the first coast-to-coast call on the long-lines system. The first cross country call was made by Alexander Graham Bell to his old assistant Thomas Watson in January 1915. From then until November 1951, this was an operator-assisted process (and much longer than that for much of the country).

You would call the operator, tell them who you wanted to talk to, the city they’re in, and their phone number (if you knew it). If the call is close enough, you’d stay on the line while they connected you. Otherwise, you would be instructed to hang up and wait for an operator to call you back and let you know they’d gotten your party on the line (or not). This could take 5 minutes, or a few hours, depending on the distance, complexity of the route, availability of trunks, etc.

By the 1920s you could even call London from the US, but the radio link only had capacity for like 12 calls and it worked better in the evening. There was also a network of ship-to-shore radiotelephone links that operated on HF and VHF.

It would have been entirely possible, but extraordinarily expensive to have a multi-party conference call between someone in London, someone on a ship in the Pacific, a third person riding a train between New York and Washington DC, and a fourth on a mobile phone in a car in Chicago at least as early as 1947.[1]

I’d ballpark the cost of that call at around $100/min in 1947 dollars.

The Wikipedia article on long distance has an excerpt from Dragnet of a call from LA to a rural party line in Utah. It’s worth a listen.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-distance_calling

[1] Transatlantic telephone service began in 1927 between NYC and London, VHF mobile service began in 1946 in St. Louis and then Chicago, telephone service on trains began in 1947 (at least as provided by the Bell system, independents and train companies may have gotten there first), ship-to-shore via AT&T High Seas Service was available by the mid 1930s.

If the idea is to prevent cybersquatting, why wouldn't one be able to renew a domain they already paid $850 at a price much closer to $12 than $850?

$850/year is insane, full stop. You are comparing $850 to a 5-figure cybersquatter, but they only steal your money once. ;-)
Where Fedora Linux Could Improve
Yes, I should have been more clear: CSP doesn’t allow you to download an external script and execute it, which requires unsafe-eval.
I've been trying to learn Greek, but it's a pain! First, they went overboard with gamification - now, I spend most of my time keeping my place in the Diamond League, not learning new stuff. Sadly, you earn more XP not learning new stuff, so, gamification goes against the learning goals. Another issue is that the scoring is in the app and different versions of the app reward you differently for the same thing - that's why my wife is on a year-old version and earns twice as much XP with less effort, which is unfair. Also, certain languages like Greek are not the same as Spanish and you cannot practice speaking and you learn to recognize the worlds visually well, but not so much to learn a language conversationally.
They got a lot further than GNU Mes now. The process starts with stage0, ~512 bytes of machine code. Their live-bootstrap project is another focus of work. Another thing being worked on is using the Fiwix kernel as a step towards getting Linux bootstrapped. Also higher-level languages like Ocaml are getting bootstrapped.

I'm not aware of any overview/documentation of the entire process though, best check out their site and wiki and join the IRC channel.

I do have a parameter so that each particle only takes into consideration other particles within 750 units, when the free space is 3000x3000x3000 units, but this parameter did not seem too critical, and it's still calculating the distance between each pair twice technically, so I guess I could speed that up. Vector/"table?" operations seemed slower than plain loops, not sure if there's plain interpreter speedup possible there?
Shouldn’t matter in the grand scheme and it will probably be clean after 5-6 passes
No, it can’t. However, it does have a value as an interest generator. The vast majority of people who start a language on DL, will stop doing DL pretty quickly. Of those who stay, there’ll be a percentage who continue using it for absurd streak lengths while never progressing past the point of basic comprehension or speaking ability. The remaining group will be a group who goes on to use real resources to learn a language the only way possible - through serious, disciplined, and often uncomfortable learning by immersion and real world practice.

I do think Duolingo has great value but I do think the second group I described is seriously wasting their time. I get it’s fun as a game but I figure you really might as well go all in with the amount of time a 1000+ day streak entails

EDIT: Elon also tweeted [2]: "With rare exception, the FBI seems to want to do the right thing, but there is no question that Twitter operated as a Democratic Party activist machine"...

Unfortunately, Taibbi does not explain the content of the FBI report at all. Any analysis of FBI action here is just pure speculation without absent more details. This is a recurring theme in the Twitter Files so far: leading statements backed by little, if any, evidence.

For reference, here is the context regarding FBI:

v2.0 is missing a lot of data due to a bug. 2.1 restores it.

Besides that, you can search the dataset with https://rom1504.github.io/clip-retrieval/ or create probes with textual-inversion instead of sticking with existing words.

(Oddly, I don't know of any working image-inversion tools. There's one called "CLIP Interrogator" but it doesn't work very well, since it relies on an older image-to-caption model called BLIP that isn't an inverse of SD.)
Regarding 3, are you interested in another client? If so let me know how you’d like to connect.
Try using negative prompting, especially negative textual-inversion prompts.
If it was an up-front price only, it would be a lot more than $850 at initial registration.

But the relevant (and desired) incentive with an ongoing price is that if the registrant is no longer utilizing the domain name, they are much more incentivized to dispose of it in favor of someone who will use the domain name if the holding costs remain non-trivial.
Harkonnen had a long-term project to make dynamic shadows that would change throughout the day, which would result in the solar panels being fully lit for at least a moment at noonish, but I got the impression that side-project was eventually canned due to, uhm, personnel issues.

A bootstrappable build (according to bootstrappable.org) is a bootstrap process where you don't use any binaries of the compiler itself to build the compiler. Unless the compiler already has a maintained source-only bootstrap, the usual way to do that is to write a smaller implementation in another language with just enough features that it can build the compiler. camlboot is an example of that. Another option is to build a chain of previous versions of the compiler that were written in other languages, before the compiler became self-hosting.

Rendering markdown in the terminal[1] was also recently added to the Logfile Navigator (https://lnav.org). It was partially inspired by Glow. There are some extra features in lnav's implementation, like a breadcrumb bar so that you can jump to different sections of the document.

(You might question why a log file viewer needs markdown support... It's used mainly to make the builtin help text look nicer. But, it can also be used in other places, like adding comments to log messages and generating reports. It's even used to implement an interactive tutorial[2].)

I had a similar experience, although it's going back a few years now. I'd always wanted to learn Spanish and one year my wife and I were going to Spain in the fall, and then three or four months later we were going to a country in Latin America, and I decided that was the year I'd do it. I started with Duolingo and did it for three or four months before my trip to Spain, and after successfully managing a few basic interactions in Spanish and also being able to easily read signage and simple phrases, I was hooked.

When we got back I continued with Duolingo but also got an online teacher and did a pile of other stuff and by the time we went south I was somewhat conversational. You can't truly learn a language with Duolingo (you especially need practice speaking with someone) but it gave me a great start.
> they get to keep what they earn.

And 'earn' what they're allowed -- 'earn' is kind of a weasel word in that sentence.
I learnt this lesson early with another tld (and that wasn’t even this steep a raise). Since then I decided to keep my personal domain as .net since.com wasn’t available.

4) do your employers know that you are working another full time job?

Have you found the magical eighth day of the week??
Could you describe #4 in more detail? From adding this all up, I figure you must be working 30-35 hours a week between those two jobs, so less than 20 hours a week each. What is the process by which you limit your capacity to only fill a small number of hours? Do the teams believe you to be slower than you are? Is this an explicit understanding that you'll only work half time?

I have never had a job where there is not more than enough to be done, such that I could always fill more hours than I have with useful work.
The worse is maybe not the total time in itself but the lag effect.

It is annoying to click on something and wait 4-10s for the page/board to load or the login redirect dance to be completed.

So, what happens is that you click, and you go to do something else like reading another page in the meantime.

And then you completely forgot what you were about to do and when you remember you are already logged out or you have to refresh the board again, and it is slow again, so you go do something else in the meantime, etc...

And so on you lose a lot of time with frustration.

Predatory, abusive price increases are forbidden by section 2.10(c) of the baseline registry agreement. It applies to pretty much all of the new gTLDs. It's no different for .sbs [1].

> The parties acknowledge that the purpose of this Section 2.10(c) is to prohibit abusive and/or discriminatory Renewal Pricing practices imposed by Registry Operator without the written consent of the applicable registrant at the time of the initial registration of the domain and this Section 2.10(c) will be interpreted broadly to prohibit such practices.

From what I've seen, people typically tend to be confused about what they bought when you see threads like this. In the past several years I've never seen anyone produce documentation or screenshots that show they registered a non-premium domain that was reclassified as premium while they had it registered.

Yeah, why does Desktop Linux need 100 different distros? The problem here is fragmentation, and 'choice' and users will never begin to use anything that has such friction unless the existing system is more inconvenient and has more friction itself.

The difference is to this case of choice is that 98.0% of users don't need to switch to Linux since it is already provides a worse experience for the average user to just use their computer. Windows works just fine as the standard, if not that and they love Apple, macOS is even better; No need to waste more time on switching and distro hopping on thousands of distros.

Crypto on the other hand provides the solution of instant, global money transfer and using stablecoins as a viable alternative for those that have no choice due to the devaulation of their fiat currency, for more than tens of millions of people. Argentina, Nigeria, Venezuela, Russia, etc.

Users will just use USDC on any supported 'chain' globally; that has the lowest fees. Little to no-one cares about switching Linux distros as a choice other than a clique of techies playing with their computers.
There is a conundrum that you see in the Netherlands:

make perfect, immaculate highways and people will start getting bored and floor the pedal because even 130 will seem slow. "I can easily drive faster here"

Not a problem in 1970 when barely any car could reach that speed but in a modern automobile you can zip along.
So they had to fix this problem with speed cameras every few kilometres to keep people in check.
They do not use previously-compiled compilers, no.

Instead they are working on building an entire distro starting with ~512 bytes of machine code plus a ton of source. They aren't there yet, but are getting closer.
