Longtime Namecheap customer here. This is a really good idea, even if they're only doing a redesign. I recall the last Namecheap redesign was a little bumpy, because their interface went from web 1.0 to web 2.0 overnight, and I felt a little disoriented which is not fun when you're trying to update your DNS records.
I had to deal with some of projects you mention. At least where I'm from (italy), we rely on a bunch of old proprietary and very sh* technologies that I think it's really killing patients (metaphorically speaking... or maybe not...). The thing is that most of people aren't asking AI/the superb cure, but something that just works.
It's worked out well enough for them given they've become the 2nd largest registrar, but yeah I suppose it won't hurt to play both sides by having a more premium sounding secondary brand.

Its loss in value is an external cost to operations that are causing the extreme weather that is resulting from climate change.

There is re-valuation due to re-estimation of risk and cost of remediation.

There are climate refugees, with less equity gains and property investments in high risk markets that now might not appreciate as quickly.
Perhaps. But that seems like an illusion to me in this case. One can hardly consider people suffering from severe mental illnesses to be capable of making rational choices which would mean that their decisions would be influence significantly more by the environment and the people that surround them.
My house is two different AAPI backgrounds and we love to enable other AAPI business. We'll share your stuff among our friends and community. Good luck!
Is there a decent modern argument for why names are split across 2-3 fields rather than “here’s a text field. Make your mark in unicode.” ?
On a related anecdotal note, one of the many reasons my peers aren’t changing their names when they get married is because it’s a huge administrative pain to track down every database you touch and get them to change things.

I always think of the ever relevant “Falsehoods Programmers Believe about Names” [1]

Lol that’s precisely what it is. It redistributes the cost of accidents. Across all its members, paid forward.

Just don’t get insurance and nothing of yours will pay for anything belonging to anybody else.
Does it relate to tokenization?
> Sabre started around 1960. They still had playing cards back then

Apparently there's evidence of playing cards in Europe from around 1370, which predates powered flight, electricity, the difference engine ... but not double-entry book-keeping (1299).

That's very interesting, will he have enough time? AFAIK he's full time with ArduPilot nowadays.
The DNS lookup are often enough. You can try to claim you were shopping for new shoes on pornhub.com, but not many people will buy it
Because everything is turned as a cash-grab by corporations and prices never go down.
> "Someone else mentioned the issues and limitations with our current brand..."

This really just sounds like a veiled way of saying "our current brand has acquired a bad reputation and this is a way to get away from it".
I very much want to hear this! The issue we're facing is that the maintenance staff is very undertrained on a specific subset of equipment. But that equipment is actually very critical. Also I was vague in the first post - in reality this is for hospitals within a system, not one single building.

When you say "won't require retraining if a new equipment manufacturer comes into play" I don't really follow.

Edit: I get it now - you mean by using QR we wouldn't need to retrain the image recognition AI. It's a good concern, although in this specific area there is not a ton of innovation or newcomers. Worth keeping in mind though.
I can see that. Unpredictability is the root of much anxiety. In academia, I'm the opposite. I'm thrilled by mystery and the unknown. It gives me this deep sense of profundity and gravitas bordering on religious experience. I'd love to learn more about that phenomenon. Anyway, it reminds me of that famous Newton quote:

"I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me."
This is extraordinarily silly. Momofuku is not going to dominate the market for chili crisp, and that's what it's called: "chili crisp". Not "chili crunch". Just don't call your product that.

You might get hives from this kind of trademark hardball if Momofuku was the market leader. But they're not even a serious player. Lao Gan Ma owns the category.
Back around 20 years ago I was with an MSP. We depended heavily on having a well written - as current as possible - prod guide for all operations.

At some point it occurred to me that there was likely a way to draw upon the experiences of those who came before us. In my case, it seemed fitting to use newspapers as a reference.

Somewhere I’d come across a concise guideline, a list of do’s and don’ts. The only thing I clearly recall now is keeping the key info “above the fold”, which is likely something that might puzzle someone who has never handled a newspaper. Even so, the concept is easy to share and grasp.

I wish I’d kept that list. I’ve tried looking for it within the past couple years, to no avail.
How are you syncing data?
Fair. I still wouldn’t want to have such a fallback available by default. Being stronger than an even worse option doesn’t change that. Because it eliminates the security of the strongest option.
I wonder what other costly, dangerous and useless stuff one can distribute, so kids and students can be endangered even more, so this would warrant more surveillance and policing?

Besides guns, alcohol and amphetamines?
I love Trader's Joe's chili onion crunch.
What that stat doesn't tell you is the rate of near misses.

It's anecdotal I know, but as someone who commutes on a bike, the number of times I almost crash by myself per journey is near zero, yet the number of times a car tries to inadvertently occupy the same piece of road as me is multiple.
Not sure how this qualifies as "disrupting itself". Namecheap sells domain names. Spaceship (as far as I can tell) is domains + hosting + email. So it's not like they are taking anything away from their core offering, just providing add-on services, all with a shiny new UI. Funny enough Namecheap itself already offers all of those things, so this is basically a rebrand (probably to sound more premium and enterprise-y than "Namecheap").
It’s worse than that actually; say the liar’s house burns down and the insurance adjuster finds the trampoline in the garden after the fact. As I understand it, the insurer can void the entire contract.
In most publicly traded for-profit organizations.
Thank you for acknowledging this is a legitimate question.

I've no issue with all sorts of cameras and scientific instruments being placed on a space craft. I don't expect to get access to all the data that is sent back - though - as it is from the public purse - I think it should be made available.

My point is that the only interaction us great unwashed have with these missions is with the imagery that is provided.. How difficult would it be to have a colour camera?!?! I have a crap mobile and it has 3 cameras! And one on the front! When colour cameras have been available to everyone for so long, its simply inconceivable that NASA can never provide decent imagery! Its 2024 ffs, surely we can have colour by now! No? If not now, when?
I don't think it's tunneling the full TCP packets. I think it's extracting the data stream from the incoming TCP stream, tunneling that data, and creating a new TCP stream to the destination on the other end of the tunnel.

So basically the same as ssh -L or ssh -R .
This really goes to show you how valuable a good experience / API is.

PiVPN is so easy to use. You run 1 command and pass in the name of the config to generate and you're done. Now you can take that config and use it client side.

I've used it on Debian servers (not a Raspberry Pi) and it's been flawless to onboard a bunch of folks into using a VPN (work related).

IMO there's no way this project will fail, someone will fork it.
Fast.ai course is just what I needed for now. Thank you.
I don't think that's the case here. I think it's just tunneling the data, not the full TCP packets.
I'm not afraid of death, but I desperately want to experience the future. In my opinion, death is just as natural as any other disease.
"I am the architect of my own destruction" spoke so much to the teenager in me back in the days. Hands down the best Prince of Persia.
Lol yes I too can ask Ai how to Ai.
Based on arbitrary virtue signaling by the Namecheap CEO, is Spaceship gonna give customers one-week notice that their accounts are being dropped for committing the crime of being born in the wrong country, like he did at Namecheap?

> If we were virtue signaling we wouldn't willingly be giving up a not non significant part of our business. This hurts us financially but it's the right thing to do, at least for us. Your leader/country is already killing innocent civilians/ukranians. They are putting it all on the line with their lives. They didn't ask for this yet they are dying for it. Change needs to come and the only way it can is for the Russian population to put it on the line as well.

Second the room treatment. It should likely be prioritized over everything. Specifically you should look into getting bass traps and a gobo or three. There’s budget stuff out there but sound is fickle. Control those reflections. Expensive mics still sound bad if a room sounds bad.
I hope Andrew wanted to maintain the software again and didn't just feel obligated after what happened to xz. In any case, Andrew Tridgell's contributions to open source, both direct and indirect (Git), are substantial. Hopefully he's still enjoying himself!
So the AI will console some information, and make some kind of UI, the some decisions about layout, and functionality and magically adapt?

Yeah this is going to be so great for usability. “Where did the “foo” button go?” Oh right, the AI has magically decided I am better off with it somewhere else. “Why did the interface change completely today?” Oh right, the AI is having a moment. This feels like a usability nightmare.

This screams upper-management consultancy, doesnt value the work that goes into design and UX and would love to cream some money by pretending they could fire an entire department.
levelsio is some sort of influencer I think.
they should have called it "4 non blondes" because there are no blonds
I used to ride in London every day. The difference in rate of almost-crashes before and after I get a different (yet still legal) exhaust was substantial.
Have to agree with you, every comment from the product creator reads like a chatGPT response.
No, it's not. The idea of a risk pool is that everyone's catastrophic risks cancel out, not that people who replace their roofs also chip in to cover hail and water damage for people who don't.
1. I wonder what John Paul I or II would have done.

2. Now you know what those who have apostrophe's, al's, ben, ibn, de la, von, etc. have to go through.

3. People in the Indian state of Mizoram don't have last names. Imagine what Southwest and the TSA would do with that.
Did Einstein Warn a Time Will Come When the Rich Control Means of Communication?

Tailscale is Wireguard this is HTTP. Different protocol?
At some point the cost of insurance would approach the cost of simply self insuring. Why should I pay the insurance company to maybe replace the roof if I can just keep $20k in a savings account in case I need to replace the roof?
When did you do this test? I am curious about the current performance gap.

None of what you said is the definition of a genocide.
As someone with a biomedical background, the “science” explanation isn’t giving me much faith either. They should have just given a DOI to a relevant scientific paper instead.
LLM’s struggle to return the same answer twice, and now you’re suggesting they’ll magically and consistently mediate UX and API differences? I have a hard time believing that.
> something other than just "your full name as it appears on government ID"

Even that is complicated. I have several ids that spell my full name in a slightly different way. They also disagree with each other regarding which part of it is "first" or "given" name.
>The complication seems to stem from their audit process

No, the complication stems from the license you agreed to in order to develop software for Apple devices.

https://developer.apple.com/support/terms/apple-developer-pr...

"Applications may only use Documented APIs in the manner prescribed by Apple and must not use or call any private APIs. Further, macOS Applications submitted to Apple for distribution on the App Store may use only Documented APIs included in the default installation of macOS, as bundled with Xcode and the Mac SDK, or as bundled with Swift Playgrounds; deprecated technologies (such as Java) may not be used."
Marketing.

“We want to address them by their first name because it’s so much friendlier and personable”.

That’s all I can think of. Not exactly ‘decent’.
Did either of the parties move to invalidate the patent claims as obvious as, say, a camera on a stick or a toy airplane with a camera?
We can send probes to the sun, to Mars, collect samples from asteroids billions of miles away.... but we can't get decent quality colour photos?!? That tech is beyond us? In 2024? .. wtf ...

I really don't get why my original post is downvoted and being disputed. It seems such a basic point.. It such an oversight on the part of NASA, it borders on intentional.
Ideally websites cater for everyone and are bug free.

But, given a fixed dev time, it's best to build a website that can handle most customers needs, and then give customer service (via phone/email) the admin/power user abilities to deal with the few special cases that the website cannot handle.

So, IMO, the airline here has done everything right.
I will include such disclaimer after you prove me wrong as you have means to do that.

The clean visual design of these consoles is just beautiful. It reminds me of the aesthetic of Kubrick's 2001 from the same era.
I mean, the insurer in that case discovered that the client was defrauding them. If you steal $100 from someone's cash register, buy scratchy lotteries with it, win $200, and put the $100 back in the register, you're still a thief. That's the logic here: you gambled on a pirate trampoline and feel like you should have won.

I don't know if it really is the case that your insurance can be voided over material misrepresentations unrelated to your claim, but certainly there's no moral argument that it shouldn't work that way.
I don't feel trapped. There is going to be (and has been in ways) a small reckoning when people realize magic (ai) and all its unpredictability is very difficult to manage.

There is no field of "probabilistic UX" for example. How do you provide a consistent user experience when the underlying engine of your application is inconsistent?

Same goes for QA, testing, root cause analysis.

Adding features can have exponential side effects that cannot be predicted, which can be deadly at scale. Both figuratively and literally depending on how the technology is adopted.
> For spaceflight purposes it is extremely vital that any and all components and tech is matured

It's not "extremely vital", it's just how NASA has been doing things for a good while.

Sometimes ultra perfectionism makes sense.

Sometimes you can aim for an 85% mission success rate and launch 5 probes for half the price a decade earlier.
So they’re forced to choose between military service or having sex on camera? I’m not sure I’d call that “amateur porn” if it’s not consensual

Everything moves substantially faster when close to the sun.
As a namecheap customer I completely support the greenfield approach to what it means to be a registrar. However, what I want from a registrar is to be the best registrar. I don’t want hosting, email, or other services, I want a great DNS interface with an API that I can scope permissions on, and cheap and predictable name registration. That is it.
I've spent a few years fiddling with setups during COVID / remote work. Honestly, in my experience, gear comes secondary to your ENVIRONMENT.

Julie Schiro's videos are a great place to start: https://www.youtube.com/@JulieSchiro

Here are my tiers!

Tier 1: Audio > Video first!

- Get very basic sound treatment done, even just a few panels in front and behind you. ~$100 or cheaper with DIY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3nS2-HvJMs

- Get a reliable microphone. Samson Q2U is a solid one here if you did step 1.

Tier 2: Improve video

- Improve your lighting. Face a window if you can or get some lamps to balance out lighting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUpK0dhWTE

- Use smartphone with app or cable as your virtual webcam. Or if you have $200 get the Logitech Brio

Tier 3: $$$

- Audio: 3x your sound panelling & sound treatment. Put stuff on the ceilings too. If you still have too much money, get Shure MV7 (usb-c which is nice). SM7B honestly isn't needed unless you have a true studio environment with professional sound treatment done.

- Video: Get a Sony a6000 (this is what I use) or a6400 / 6600 and a lens with f1.4 on it. This is what I use: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077BWD2BB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b...

- Add-ons: Get a dummy battery that plugs into your wall and can run your camera in 'forever power' mode. Get a camera signal -> USB converter like Magewell or Elgato Camlink (what I use): https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1453840-REG/elgato_sy...
Blame it on the victim you are Imho.
The whole point of insurance is that there is a relatively low probability of a relatively high expense event happening. In all likelihood, the thing won't happen to you, but if we all pool our money together and you are the unlucky person then you're covered.

A pre-existing condition is not a low probability event. It is a 100% certainty that you have to pay for it. In that case the insurance is just a middleman who is increasing the cost of the thing you definitely have to pay for. You pay the insurance company, they take a cut, and they pay the healthcare provider. Why not just pay the healthcare provider directly?
Wonder how much of that growth is Google Domains refugees.
4 or 8tb storage isn’t even that much these days. You could torrent thousands of gb of porn and just store it until later. Heck if you lived somewhere that was getting really stupid and cracking down you could even sell cheap dvds with porn in a weird black market. The world gets dumber by the day

I was on the fence about buying a zenphone but waiting to see if the bootloader unlock ever showed back up.

Still holding a pixel 3, unlocked, with lineage. There are no small phones with good specs and unlockable. Zenphone seemed the way, until they stopped with their unlocks.

What a market to be burying in the mud.
The engines need time to spin up and warm up, and additionally you might start them then (for a million possible reasons) have delay between starting them and actually pushing back from your gate.
My first impression is that teachers would primarily be doing this if schools are understaffed and teachers are overworked.

Wow, we had the exact same situation. We had a 15 year old CRM/ERP developed in-house, full of very specific and complex business processes/rules/entities tailored to how our business works. At some point, someone decided to migrate to Dynamics CRM. As it wasn't realistic to migrate immediately, they chose to do it incrementally: the both CRMs would be active at the same time, and there would be lots of data synchronizations between them, and our managers/the system's users would learn how to use Dynamics CRM in the meantime. The project was scrapped after 1 year because they realized that fully migrating it would took many years, and the managers didn't like the new CRM because it was lacking functionality (didn't match the existing workflows), and overall the whole synchronization stuff was pretty fragile and full of bugs. Now we've chosen the path of improving dev practices in the existing CRM to impove its reliability instead of hoping that somehow magically a new CRM would solve all our problems without any effort.

It took me a lot of scrolling to figure out what services were actually being offered. Sounds like pretty standard cpanel hosting. Glad to see this service from a reputable and well liked provider. Is this a disruptive idea in 2024?
Yea - it seems like everything Ardupilot revolves around him these days. He's the central figure AFAIK.

“Chomsky is wrong because I say he is, and because he doesn’t like the LLM I like”

Mmmhhmmm yes very convincing argument there. I’d be willing to bet that Chomsky’s arguments don’t rely on such spurious arguments. Automated plagiarism reads like a fantastic description of current LLM’s to me.
The reason is GDS systems are some of the most atrocious pieces of essential software out there:

> what we’ve built is just a cursor streaming a binary file feed with a very limited set of functionality - but then again, it’s the exact functionality we need and we didn’t lose any features.

The trick is that they didn't need a database that provides "Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability (ACID)". By only implementing what they need they were able to keep the project small.

It's like people are scared of doing anything without making it into some huge multi hundred developer effort. They've written a super simple append only document store. It's not rocket science. It's not a general purpose arbitrary SQL database.
