I just want to note (this is what I studied for my MA) that Krashen is very controversial in the field. Many researchers argue that output is critical to learning, and "interactionism," the idea that learning is facilitated through conversation, is probably the dominant theoretical approach at the moment. See, for example, Second Language Learning Theories, by Mitchell, Myles, & Marsden, chapter 6.

The hardware designer of the C128 (Bil Herd) had lots of choice things to say about the designer of that 80 column (MOS 8563) chip. The chip and machine were designed in parallel but the 8563 was originally intended for a different application and its designer had little consideration for making it work well in the system it ended up in. Though to be honest the weaknesses of the 8563 seem like they would make it pretty poor in any design.

I mean, yes, sure. That's technically how it works, but in practice I'm not sure that really matter. What happens to your domain if your Google account gets banned? Does your domain disappear? Does Google let you transfer it out?

One way to screw them back is trademark law

file a trademark asap while you still have the domain, then when you lose access, sue them to prevent them from selling it to anyone else

Cheap DNS registration, and being able to keep it at the same price.

What I am wondering right now is if there is any regulation about buying a domain, building a popular product on top of it, and then having your registrar keep increasing the renewal cost. (Something that I never considered, but now looks possible)
Look up "unconscionable", a tenet of contract law.

A classic example is creating a dependency and then raising the price.

Also look up "antitrust".

HN skews pretty neo liberal. A lot of holy-than-thou proselytizing of Western exceptionalism, as if Western culture actually earned it's place as the dominant culture on Earth through the virtue of simply being better than everyone else, who I guess just didn't want it bad enough, rather than a combination of luck, ruthless exploitation, and general disregard for the well-being of their fellow man.
Same could be said about books when they were invented. Books allow you to read whatever you need at any time instead of memorizing the information. You don’t get to store as much information if you read books. Remembering things will be a thing of the past. Those who memorize things are able to slowly over time form a better understanding. And so on …
Because ICANN will give a gTLD to anyone who pays them enough.
> Of course, the contract at the time of payment may say otherwise.

Yeah, this is kinda my point. Google (probably; I haven't read the agreement) has no obligation to keep the renewal price the same. I'm not saying they should be doing this (especially considering they're a trillion dollar company), but Google seems well within their right to do it.

This is the same with housing where it is not uncommon to have occasional raises in rent that loosely trails inflation.
They weren't holding the domains hostage, though, right? You can find any other registrar willing to have you and transfer your domain from Namecheap to them (and I think Namecheap would get in trouble with ICANN if this weren't the case). So customers are mostly just inconvenienced a little.
I don’t think that’s being too pessimistic. I didn’t think about that. The solution would be some sort of concrete footing or something—but I’m sure that is more expensive than just mounting these panels in the air.
Curved Spacetime in the Lab
We spent a long time analysing the terms and conditions and we couldn’t find anything that applied to our business. Asking directly where we broke terms was no hope, because none of which they cited applied to us either.

We wouldn’t go back to card payments if we could. We save a fortune by paying 0% processing fees, have more control and are protected by a regulated UK bank instead of companies like Stripe or PayPal. We are very lucky!
How much is Gandi’s markup? I’d bet it’s the same couple of dollars they charge for regular domains. I suspect Google is pocketing 99% of that price hike.
I do this too, although I definitely make commits along the way. Then at the end I rebase and batch things up. My in progress commits are usually just things like "works here" or whatever. I truly love having git backing me up as I play with code - it's a superpower that basically no other field has access to. (imagine if you could drop a commit before you make that circular saw cut and revert when it went off, or revert the splotch of paint you got on the ceiling! )

I have not used Sunvox but I make music as a hobby using trackers like Renoise, and also various DAWs. I would still say that there is an advantage to having a specially designed hardware synth with intuitive knobs and faders. I'm glad that KORG can make reasonably affordable and professional synths while using off the shelf hardware like the Pi. In my opinion the presets and ease of use of paid synths (both software and hardware) are still quite a bit ahead of free options.

I targeted a niche (Japanese language learning) with communities that already exist and discuss resources intensively. Then I built what they're looking for (and what I could tell from other language communities that they would like but aren't actively asking for) and went to those existing communities where people already are to introduce it. I also actively respond on Twitter, Reddit, other niche forums etc. and plug my couple apps in non-intrusive ways when relevant. My users also recommend the apps within these communities. Some journalists and competitor publications also mentioned/reviewed my apps which helped, without me pitching them. I think the niche I chose to start with is particularly good because it is full of many tech-oriented people who already share and discuss resources, and has people who are fatigued with overly-configurable setups and are looking for easier solutions.

I have plans for pushing this much further (getting people to spread word of mouth more actively, virality elements, interesting ways to share content) but this was enough to get going and quit my job.

I also put keywords of some loosely competitive apps and former dead apps or Android-specific apps that people will still look for into iOS app store keywords so that my apps show up in search results. Technically not allowed but it is the norm and I see competitors do it with mine.

I also try to leverage everything I do in multiple ways, so that I have features I can reuse across other apps, a common foundation, etc. I'll start documenting these practices in the open under indiedevstack.com but haven't set that up yet.

There are a number of oddities here.

> Soaring rents forced millions of young Americans to move back in with their parents this year, according to a new survey.

The article states this yet never works to back the claim. The closest it gets is the Moving Home chart and that puts "To save money" as the #1 reason. Furthermore, another way to view "soaring rents" is lack of income growth - a known and long running issue (that "leadership" has been unable / unwilling to address).

There is minimal historic data. This might be the norm, but they cherry picked the "facts" to fit and play to an LCD trope.

I'm not disputing that this might be a legit issue. What missing is a bare minimum in journalism standards.
My point only concerned the robot. Other solar installations won't have a tiny self-driving Zamboni that's ineffective at cleaning bird poo and is bound to be stolen. They use renewable and cost-effective elbow grease instead.
> Otherwise it’s exactly the same as a monopoly.

Oh come on, let's not kid ourselves here. There are _plenty_ of other TLDs to choose from. Google owns .dev, they can do what they want with it. The debate of whether a company should own a TLD like Google does is another question entirely.

> p.s. and no, I sure wouldn’t like my landlord to 70x my rent. Like from say 1,000/mo to 70,000/mo ? That’s like totally cool then right?

No it's not cool; that's totally exploitative. But my landlord sure could do that if they wanted to because they own the building. If my landlord thinks someone will pay $70,000/mo for my unit why shouldn't they be allowed to see that profit?

Google definitely should not be treating their customers like this, especially considering that they're burning bridges for such little income.
Any gTLD whatsoever owned by some for profit corporation is not acceptable.
If I'm understanding the text correct, there are some correlation coefficients of 0.09, 0.1, 0.12 etc. I didn't see in my brief look at it if the sample was large that these would still be statistically significant. It seems misleading title still.

Like it has "social values" and "activities" in there but as far as I can tell it includes samples from various different countries. As long as twins are slightly more likely to end up living in the same country even when adopted - then its hard to say a score of like 0.1 has anything to do with genetics. I'm sure they tried to adjust for it somehow, but I'm pretty skeptical the headline result is capturing anything meaningful.
I'm nowhere near the leaderboards, but I have built some tools that do things like scaffold the files for a solution and automatically fetch the input file. I imagine the guys competing for the top spots are doing similar things, automating as much as possible.

Another thing is having utilities and libraries that are well suited for solving puzzles, I have a whole module in my repo that implements a 2d-array style structure (in elixir), which I've been able to use on 6 or 7 puzzles.

So there are ways to increase your speed other than "just be really fast at coding" (although you definitely need that too if you're trying to get up the rankings!)

So the data actually confirms the 'common myth'.
You need quotes around "$1" otherwise `markdown "my file.md"` won't work because of the whitespace.
I think it's due to the domain name. They charge a premium for some of them. OP got lucky they didn't charge the premium price from the beginning. I looked at mine and they're still charging $12 for it.

And that is why:

> His claim to own the rights in the first place is totally dubious.

Is flat out wrong.

Not to say they have no case, sure, verbal agreements are agreements too.

HOWEVER, when the written contract is significantly different from the verbal agreement, the case that the written contract is binding, is highly dubious.

What, if I agree to pay you a dollar for a stick figure drawing and you send me a contract saying I agree to give you my house, is it binding if I keep the dollar? Did I implicitly agree to 'whatever you want' in an unwritten contract because I agreed to some verbal agreement?

The answer is definitely not.

There's a reason companies use legal written contracts. ...because they unambiguously assign rights; they did not do that. Therefore, it's Mojang's claim to the rights which is dubious, not the author.
I don't know what it is, but somehow paying even a penny for wi-fi hotspots is incomprehensible by my brain.

Hi. I work on Google Registry. forum.dev is and always has been a premium domain name (and you paid that same premium price at initial registration). We price some domain names higher than others to help prevent cybersquatting, so that desirable domain names remain available for legitimate registrants rather than being sold for extravagant sums on the after-market. We have never increased the price of a single domain name after registration in our entire decade of existence.

For another example of a premium domain name that is still available for registration (in case people here want to verify the user experience), perform a domain name search for money.dev at your registrar of choice. It will be clearly marked with its yearly premium price. You would have seen this same information when you initially registered forum.dev.
I buy all of my domains from Namecheap. I'm not 100% how TLDs work or who owns them or whatever... but just to be safe, I bought another 8 years of my .dev email address. Fortunately, the renewal rate was something like $17/yr. Jusr posting this in case anyone else is concerned about renewal prices on Namecheap; they appear to be stable, and you can still buy .dev domains from them.
Tracking inflation is nothing like monopolistic rent-seeking, which is a violation of antitrust law.
Should be an interesting experiment at a decently high scale. Time will tell if degradation due to dust, pests, etc is negligible enough to make the avoided maintenance costs worthwhile.

I think we would all argue that the opposite is better long term, though: we should be installing panel covered parking across the nation. Certainly more cost, but so many benefits. Including serviceability!
This exact fear is why I'm planning to move my domains to Cloudflare (unless there's an even better registrar).

I am responding to the challenge that Musk doesn't ignore all sense and advice and feedback and established best practices in favor of simply what he thinks is cool.
Finding Faults Deeply Stressful
"Evidence that a complete stress release may have contributed to the 2011 Tohoku earthquake that broke records. Both sedimentary formations above and below the plate boundary fault lie in the stress state of normal faults in which vertical stress is greater than maximum horizontal stress. The new data show good consistency with previous results above the fault -- at the boundary between the North American plate and the subducting Pacific plate -- suggesting that combining geophysical data and core samples to comprehensively investigate stress states is effective."
The same thing that should have been your first move, asking an attorney's advice.
Namecheap and Cloudflare are registrars, not registries. Amazon does have a registry, but it only seems to offer a few gTLDs and I don't think they're especially popular (I think the biggest is .bot and it has some slightly weird eligibility requirements).
I'd argue the images he generated are good enough to use in an indie game (based on the expectation that good gameplay would make up for the jank).

Do you mind sharing more details?

Did the registrar email you at some point to tell you that they are no longer able to renew your domain at the standard rate, because the registry determined it to be a premium domain?
I recall on the local news a police officer urged people to "go with the flow". Don't speed but also don't doddle since the difference between speeders vs slow pokes is dangerous. If the speed is 100km/h and everyone is going 110km/h or 90km/h do what everyone else is doing.

Of course it can be drawings, 3D animation style rendering, painting, photorealistic renders, etc.

Been a lurker on Hacker News for years but I created an account just so I could say how excited I am for this! Love the effort you're putting into it. Streamlit was awesome but felt really painful to use whenever you want to do anything slightly out of the main path.

Good luck team!
