An incredible project. Your motivations resonate with me. Thanks for sharing.
Hello. I am happy that I caught the attention of someone from the Google team. Let's do it this way. I shared the invoice in the link. You are asking me to pay three times that amount today. Is this normal? To be honest, I am not familiar with the annual payment you mentioned. I expected to pay the price I paid the first year, and then continue with the normal -$12- renewal price. Is there a way to solve this confusion? Could you talk to the team on my behalf? This pricing is different from what I am used to with other tlds, but at least I am willing to pay the price I paid the first year.

Last year's invoice and Google Domain dashboard screenshots: https://twitter.com/EmirKarsiyakali/status/16014366748564643...
topic-starter clearly mentioned that the domain was purchased one year ago, not in 2019.
agrivoltaics requires more space between racks to provide sufficient light for the plants to grow. that's neither a good or a bad thing - it's just a statement of fact about the paired compromises that arise from combining PV generation with agriculture. It is still likely a good idea in many places.

Raw pointers in rust are a pain to work with. This rust code is significantly less verbose in C++:

https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&editio...

Rust purposely handicaps ergonomics, even when it wouldn't come at the expense of safety. This is just one example. Rust also doesn't have function overloading, default arguments, named parameters, anonymous structs, unwrap sugar (like !! in kotlin), etc. Rust's aversion to user choice precisely what is hampering its adoption. Docker and kubernetes are written in go. Unreal engine, high frequency trading systems and most of google is written in C++. What significant thing has been written in rust? it's forever going to be a hobbyist language competing on stackoverflow surveys instead of actual large-scale applications. Nobody with any actual money on the line wants to take the hit in productivity to switch to rust, at most it's used for a small part of a larger project written in another language. By the end of the decade there's going to be more things written in carbon than in rust, and that sucks because it was completely preventable.
I hadn't had any experience with Google support before this. I was spoiled by Apple and Amazon.
Yes, a registry just manages TLDs. The registry Verisign, for example, manages .com, but it's not the owner.

In this case, Tuvalu owns .tv and they contracted with GoDaddy Registry to manage it [0].

It can be confusing because the lines are blurring. For example, Google has considerable vertical integration: they operate a registry, a registrar, and they own a few TLDs too.

[0] https://registry.godaddy/blog/dottv-contract-signing-release
Supposedly they do it to discourage domain squatters, which makes some sense, because every .com or .net that's even remotely usable is held by some squatter and they would rather hold the domain for decades than sell it for anything less than thousands.
So ... this is me as a 42 year old artist, a coder in many languages, an art director for some decent sized companies (probably overpaid while my illustrators are definitely underpaid), and Stable Diffusion enthusiast:

Otherwise, take your brilliant idea and pay other people to execute the parts you're not capable of executing yourself! Don't expect someone else to hand you a robot/AI replacement for your lack of skill for free ;)
> Due to their contact with ICANN

All registries operate with ICANN. It's probably more due to their age and the contracts they have with ICANN given that age and ubiquity.

edit: nit: all registries that operate within the shared DNS the majority of the internet operates under
Here’s another perspective. We own voltive.com. It cost us $28k. “Us” is me and my partner, small business owners with families and bills, working to build something of value in the world. We bought the domain from someone who had never used it for anything. Is it just that some guy fleeced us for $28k by squatting on that domain for 20 years at $12/year when we were actually trying to do something productive with the name? I certainly don’t think so.
The framing is wrong. There is no singular alternative that works. Use it as a tool to keep things moving. If it ever feels that you are doing it for the sake of the process, look hard at changing it.

And don't get pulled into success. Most anything can and will work with eager teams at the start. Life has a way of changing without you noticing.
The Turkish lira is currently experiencing ~85% year-on-year inflation. Our domains' prices are denominated in US dollars, not Turkish lira. This problem looks to be caused by currency headwinds. At the time of initial registration, the amount of Turkish lira paid would have been worth a lot more than it is now.

Also, 13040 TRY is worth US$700 at the current exchange rate, not US$850. That's actually a slight discount on the correct exchange rate, as another available domain name in the same pricing tier (e.g. 6b.dev) is showing as costing US$720/yr. So by paying in Turkish lira it looks like they're currently getting a discount of around US$20/yr, presumably because the prices displayed in Turkish are lagging the real exchange rate.
Usually a week or two. I've never worked with anyone who took an entire month off just for the Christmas holiday, though more power to them I guess. In startup world, I did know plenty of people who would take a month off in summer.

I don't think it's in the spec (because I don't see it implemented), but I also don't see any blocking issues regarding an extension to the spec to provide this (aside from the usual issues with "server-side" E2E and roaming/multi-device access)
Don't forget the time-value of money though. Not paying $XXXX now is worth a lot more than not paying $XXXX decades in the future.

Ask HN: Help – Does anyone remember an app was shared here about words for iOS?
I vaguely remember an app being shared here a few months ago that the author made to remember words? It was like a thesaurus or dictionary, but had very pretty animations. It was also paid but maybe it was open source too? I remember thinking I wanted to see how the app was made later and never got around to it. It was made with Flutter or React Native, and the developer might have been European. None of this information is reliable btw, I may be mixing up posts.

In a related discussion, do you bookmark interesting hacker news articles? This is the first time my google search / reddit search / algolia hackernews search has failed me so completely that I need to make a post asking for help.

Yes, well that TLD is basically an extortion scheme. "Buy this domains in this tld before someone else does and uses it to post disparaging content about your brand".
Can it be delivered from the desert without rising the total cost to high?
Why not? A major reason that premium domains even exist is because the second-hand market for squatted domains meant that some domain names have sold for literal millions of dollars; and otherwise that domain is sitting as a dummy advertiser page trying to sell itself.

Old registries weren't able to participate in that process themselves without also owning a registrar that participated in the same competition; but, a few decades of hindsight means the newer TLDs are going after potential earnings that Verisign never got a chance to have.
Do you think that a regular developer pays thousands of dollars every year to prolong hundreds of domains?
That's bad. Problems can happen without proper safety checks in place. Assuming no contamination otherwise it'd still be better than drinking water from the Ganges though right?
It's a nice piece of research but I wouldn't call it a fiasco. Many parts were well engineered, they just found some edge cases that yes had devastating effects. It's the old attacker's advantage again, in security, even edge cases can get you in. Matrix is a complicated protocol and tries to do things that other messengers can't, like multi device support. The researchers also write on the website that Matrix has fixed most of the issues (4 of the listed 6 on the website), and for the remaining ones there are plans for fixes.

Of course, but it’s pretty hard to jack up prices before the product was launched, which gp was weirdly adamant about.

Had the domain for a year and when it came time for renewal (1 month before expiry) it had been marked as premium and had a higher renewal price, so I tried to move it to several other providers only to be met with a “can’t move domain because it’s premium” error message everywhere I tried. So I paid the inflated price, moved everything to a different domain and setup redirects (obviously will not be renewing it again).

I don't understand why we're still talking about SCRUM.

People saying they're using SCRUM (by this I mean "literally saying 'SCRUM'") are a dying breed and if they're not then they're cargo culting and I'm not sure why this is more of a big news than management cargo culting waterfall or kanban.

I used to be one of these process experts selling methodologies to whoever was ready to pay, from SCRUM to lean startup.

After doing this full time for 2 years the only conclusion is that none of these processes hold long enough. Why?

1/ every product / team / output is different. some teams should be ticket driven, other exploratory driven, and each of these methodologies apply to one situation only
2/ high turnover in the industry. meaning that new people come and organically change the new flavor of the day, the dynamic of the teams and the throughput of the team
3/ all of the best teams I've worked in the industry (from seed stage to FAANG through late stage startups, and even F50 companies), just do WHATEVER that works for them and don't comply with the flavor of the day (except for the looks of it). They all use a shared core set of values (deserves it's own blog post), and you can find this core set of values in most agile methodologies, buried behind ritualistic behaviors

anyway. I could go on.

Just let it go, and if you're working in one of these last companies applying SCRUM unironically, you're probably not in a high performing team. Time to move
> A couple of studies suggested that daily use of a sweetener called stevia could reduce a child’s risk of getting tooth decay, but in another study, children who consumed more than 250ml of artificially sweetened drinks a day were even more likely to suffer from toothache than those who drank sugary soft drinks or energy drinks, even after adjusting for levels of tooth brushing and economic privilege

Sugar isn't the only thing that causes tooth decay. Isn't it also the acids in the drink? I'd guess if you currently drink soda flavored with sugar and you're looking to reduce tooth decay, switching to water would be far more effective than switching to an artificially flavored soda.
Sounds like a lot of work. Starting it from scratch would be a project in itself.

So some assortment of reasonable starting points, with their pros and cons described, would be valuable.

No, the exchange rate on Dec 6, 2021 was 13.67. Not even close.

It has been a bit since I read the paper, but my recollection was that the attacks weren't very practical. It's great that they responsibly disclosed issues and that Matrix tightened up the spec and implementations, but requiring a malicious homeserver plus additional preconditions made the attacks quite slim edge cases.
How can these individuals feasibly react in a rational way knowing such things, with their local regulations being poor? Were the water sources reliable before these corporations moved in?
You could write a few pages of all the things that the power available depends on, but you don't need to because it's fixed relative to the variables under consideration.
Suppose there is a borderline case. Company thinks they have a 25% chance or more to win in court, but then reporters would write stories about the case it's bad PR. Could be better to settle so nobody ever hears about it, even if they could win.

If reporters are going to write stories about it anyway, might as well fight.

> it would be 'already registered by a squatter within milliseconds of TLD launch years ago

That's an absurd false dichotomy. Gmail doesn't charge me $850/year for an email address, but somehow they managed to avoid people squatting thousands of addresses and selling them on the after-market at an exorbitant markup, and Google doesn't charge me $850/year to search things, and yet if I try to use `curl` to send a single search request it blocks it, but the Google domains team somehow doesn't think that it would have been possible to stop people from squatting thousands of domains "within milliseconds of TLD launch"?

Sorry, it's way more believable to me that this decision was made out of greed rather than a lack of imagination. Overcharging is may defensible position from a business perspective or even an ease of engineering perspective, but let's not pretend this decision was somehow made purely for the benefit of customers.
Indeed that would be impossible ;)
Anything that gets between what me, the designer, and the PM want to do needs to go. There’s an entire industry of bullshit around framing and tracking that fundamental working unit which actually builds software. Project managers, Scrum masters, whatever. If you really need acountability to the bean counters, let them define their own KPIs and give me and the PM an interface to them. Anything else is a total waste of time and effort.
... by letting the registry sell them for crazy amounts instead, and letting them continue to overcharge the owner on an ongoing basis.

So did I, but after that experience I have been moving them to AWS instead.

So I had the domain for a year, I specifically went out of my way to find a domain that was not premium, but when it came time to renew it was marked as premium, and when I tried to move it I got error messages like “can’t move domain because it’s premium”.

In practice, all Matrix messages are group messages. Servers control group membership. That's it, that's the tweet.

> "Homeserver Control of Room Membership" – A malicious homeserver can fake invites on behalf of its users to invite malicious users into their conversations, or add malicious devices into its users accounts. However, when this happens, we clearly warn the user: if you have verified the users you are talking to, the room and user will be shown with a big red cross to mark if malicious devices have been added. Similarly, if an unexpected user is invited to a conversation, all users can clearly see and take evasive action. Therefore we consider this a low severity issue. That said, this behaviour can be improved, and we've started work on switching our trust model to trust-on-first-use (so that new untrusted devices are proactively excluded from conversations, even if you haven't explicitly verified their owner) - and we're also looking to add cryptographic signatures to membership events in E2EE rooms to stop impersonated invites. These fixes will land over the coming months.

>Our results highlight that older generations are not only less able to recognise manipulative attempts, but they are also less aware that their choices and behaviour can be influenced. [...] The combination of lack of awareness and lack of capability makes dark patterns’ effects particularly dangerous for older adults [...] The study results show that an age lower than 40 years and an education level higher than high school diploma constitute a critical threshold for recognising dark patterns

Ah yes, I keep forgetting that over 40 is considered elderly now.

I wonder how much of it is age-related vs generation-related. Those of us in the 'over 40 = older' category, the 'Oregon Trail Generation', who grew up programming our PCs in BASIC and later went on to build the modern web (including inventing all those dark patterns) - will we get more susceptible as we get older? It seems most likely that we will.

And it generally seems that most people younger than 40 are less tech savvy now than 10 years ago. They use phones, tablets, and consoles more and never really needed to understand computers. Yet the study claims they currently do better at spotting dark patterns.

Senescence comes for us all and perhaps we'll all end up lacking savvy as we get older. Even old-fashioned scams often prey on the elderly, and that's not due to tech knowledge or because everyone was naive in the good old days.
