GP is referring to the registry, not the registrar. There's lots of competition between registrars, but the registries have a post-sale monopoly on all domains.

Put another way, as soon as you register a .com domain, the only registry that can sell you a renewal is Verisign. If there weren't price controls, Verisign could increase the price of a .com renewal to $100 and there's nothing anyone could do but pay it.

This whole thread back to the root is right. Verisign has a monopoly, you can never drop a domain once it's associated with your business, and all of it should be regulated like a monopoly.
The existing property owners (NIMBYs) don't want that, and they control the local governments.

The main reason why consumer wireless APs fail is inadequate power supplies. Ubiquiti gear is solid in this respect.

Large cities in countries where many people can't afford cars, and there's little mass transit, will be more compact. No driving 10 miles to the mall like the USA. Shorter distances, less need for huge battery packs, or the latest technology. Most AC parts can be had off the shelf.
Wow, I can't believe how far in the future we are living now that we are making car choices based on the vehicle's voice!

The 8086 was based on a 64K design, with segment registers thrown in to expand it to 1M (and 640K of that 1M was reserved for RAM).

It was already clear then that 64K on its own was not enough, and the segment register twiddling to touch other 64K windows was seriously limiting.

The model was patchy from day 1, and would need serious effort to be future proof. Even if computers with 640K installed were rare, the design limitation of 640K possible RAM was clearly not enough.
For comparison, that's like 10% of Fox News' revenue.
Good point. Added to our backlog.
Cursor can sometimes modify existing code when making changes. I’m curious if anyone else has encountered this and how you managed to work around it.

Yup. Think about what happened when the Internet Society almost sold the .org TLD to Ethos Capital and they were planning on raising the registration prices by a lot.

There's a spectrum of value here. I don't think we're at the SME level yet, but I'd say we are at least at the level of presentation you'd get at an undergrad seminar module - and I already see significant value here.

You're failing to consider the fundamental point. The reason countries escalate is because they think it will bring victory. You can see the exact thing happening in Ukraine today. There have been a million 'game changers'. What happens when those game changers fail to change the game? Further escalation. And the losing side will often delude themselves to this reality til long after it's become an inescapable truth. For instance during WW2 Nazi propaganda continued running and claiming imminent victory all the way up until the Fall of Berlin, even after Hitler's death - who was praised as having died in a glorious battle against Bolshevism. People who listened to the media only began to realize they had lost once the entire government had been dissolved.

Nuclear annihilation will not come because of some desperate last ditch effort, but because of some politicians convincing themselves that they not only survive, but win, a nuclear conflict. And it's easier than ever to see that sort of mentality spreading in a world where narrative has become far more important than reality, at least to the idiots and octogenarians in charge.
The majority of people I've seen on car channels (US only) are ICE-culturists. Fixers, modders, customizers. EV's a dirty word.
That $1.6B isn't all going to fund anti-China propaganda but framing that way is a cheap way to get people to look at government spending as a waste of money.

This is a reverse proxy for the dev tools front end, allowing you to host a secure endpoint that provides authenticated access to chromium devtools

The implementation assumes the inspected browser is running on the same machine as the auth endpoint, but it doesn’t have to be that way

You can use this for example to intercept all protocol messages between the browser and the dev tools front end, or, for example, to inspect some browser being controlled by automation scripts in the cloud

Sure, but I doubt this straw man actually exists.
Well that’s not really how it works. Even with 22 kW AC (what is rare in Europe) Tesla model Y needs 4 hours to charge from empty to road ready. And it is show stopper, because any petrol car needs 5 minutes to go another 300-600 miles. With DC charger I can have a normal break of 40 minutes and have enough charge for another 300 miles. DC charging is the topic to ease range anxiety and make EVs viable replacement for petrol cars. Without gooood DC charging capability the electric cars are suitable as city cars at best.

Edit: model Y does not support 22 kW AC charging. Only 11 kW AC. And it still takes whole day to fully charge.

The costs involved with maintaining garbage are infinitely more than maintaining something well built.

This is why software is so lucrative.. because the true cost of the software isn't how much you pay for it .. it's "how much is it going to cost you to change to something else?"

Yes. This is what passes for "fine dining" today.

Starbucks used to make a thing of this. The process of making drinks was deliberately made manual and complicated to give customers the impression they were getting their money's worth for overpriced coffee. That was part of the Starbucks mystique, when they had one.

F-Droid style delivery is far more secure than anything from Apple or Google. This is only possible on Android since Apple only allows you to install mysterious binary files from their myaterious store on their mysterious OS. FDroid attests the source code directly by building the app it distributes instead of relying on trusting the developer to upload a black box binary. https://f-droid.org/docs/Security_Model/

Can't tell if this is a joke or not [1].

I think it actually makes sense. I did a few implementations of Elastic and while it was great, but even with all aspects fully managed via code, at some point it consumed insane amount of brainpower to keep expanding, adding features, securing and patching it. It also consumed very large amounts of hardware - which I was fine with mostly, as this was onprem and costs were accepted.

I tried something similar in a more cloud-based environment (both private and public) and I was shocked how much infrastructure I have to pay for just to create a reasonable PoC. Tried same with Openshift/Vector and it just gave me a headache.

There are plenty of situations where you can accept a small risk of even losing some log data (due to low redundancy, scale vertically) and deploy something that is much simpler. Small apps with small volumes, or apps with large volumes, but you are OK with high latency of the solution and you are ok with slow (and cheap) VMs hosting it. It could work well with environments where you prefer to have more of the platform tools as dedicated nodes assigned to separate teams/apps (due to easier charging, or easier handling of noise neighbors, etc).

Adam Neumann's crypto comeback company is reportedly refunding investors
Stephen Yaxley-Lennon repeatedly called for calm, and explicitly condemned the violence.

The lies around this issue are really noticeable now. I used to believe that Yaxley-Lennon -- "Tommy Robinson" -- was a bigot, until I watched his Oxford union speech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YQ94jFg_4A

All violence should be condemned and prosecuted. However when looking for the causes, what happened regarding the riots wasn't "whipped up" by online agitators. It was the result of failure of government policy.

Successive governments have lost control of the border, and there have been insane policies, such as putting a hotel of unvetted migrant men into a hotel in Rotherham, where immigration notoriously resulted in mass rape by grooming gangs. The authorities turned a blind eye to grooming gangs, worried about being accused of racism. [1]

"The report found: "Several staff described their nervousness about identifying the ethnic origins of perpetrators for fear of being thought as racist; others remembered clear direction from their managers not to do so".

Furthermore, the rioting occurred after the government suggested that rioting works. In Harehills, Leeds, government social workers returned children after riots. [2]

It can take up to 2 years to recover your gut from AB. There are papers about it, cbb to find it now.
Really disagree with the hypothesis the author has, and especially don't think that the player experience is hindered (at all) by searching for things in an external wiki. Most of the games I really like (Factorio, Dwarf Fortress, Subnautica, Valheim, Satisfactory, recently Shapez2 as examples) I enjoy partly because of the active community (and wikis are obviously part of that). I love seeing solutions that other people have found, and a big part of my enjoyment comes from comparing my own solutions with those from others in the community.

In all of those examples I'm figuring things out myself and using a wiki and sometimes other community tools such as calculators etc.

I would be really amazed if this person makes a good game when their focus is make players do A rather than B instead of "how do I make this game as much fun to play as possible". It's also likely that the gameplay systems are really shallow if they feel they would be harmed by people searching for information in a wiki.
I found that this is actually a good use case for LLMs. You can probably paste that one liner up there and ask it to create the corresponding SQL query.
There are a bunch of different domain types all commingled together; non-premium gTLD domains, ccTLD domains, 3rd level domains, registry premium gTLD domains and, as added complexity, aftermarket domains which could be any of the previous listed types.

ICANN provides some protection for standard gTLD domains, but it's minimal. You're guaranteed identical pricing to all other standard domain registrants on the gTLD, so they can only raise your price by raising the price of everyone else at the same time. That hasn't stopped some registries from 10x price increases though. The only thing it does is ensure they can't single you out and massively hike your renewal fee.

However, that does not apply to registry premium gTLD domains. When you register a registry premium domain you waive those protections and the registries can technically do anything they want.

If you register a ccTLD domain, you're at the mercy of that country's registry. If you register a 3rd level domain you're at the mercy of the 2nd level domain owner and they're regulated by either ICANN or a country based registry.

It's actually somewhat complex when you get into it.

Commercial interests associated to hypocrisy.
A great argument against relying on any software you can't control if ever I heard one
Not necessarily the lowest bidder. It's quite easy for a consulting company that is bad at development to make a convincing pitch to a nontechnical founder as long as they're better at sales than they are at development.
As decades of Windows blue screens proved, shitty software won't scare away users if the software can provide a service or capability that the users can't easily get elsewhere.

Weren't shareholders the ones that demanded games to be more "safe" and more politically correct to a degree they get stale and less interesting?

That said, I think there is just a clique of them trying to oust the original founders. Usually companies do worse if they ever are successful.

>Somehow it’s a crime when Russia does it to us, but good 'information ops' when we want to discredit Beijing’s Belt & Road initiatives worldwide

This just sounds like "Somehow it's bad when enemy soldiers shoot at us, but we also shoot at them! What a hypocrisy!"
I don't think US needs to spend that amount of money, I think China is doing enough stupid things to spur anti-China sentiments overseas. Also, they could just remind people that China released COVID which killed millions and cost countries billions.

for example: US, EU raise alarm over China’s ‘very substantial’ support for Russia in Ukraine war. Beijing’s ‘significant’ exports said to be used on battlefield and given in exchange for Kremlin’s sensitive military technologies https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3278160/us...

OpenAI Fundraising Set to Vault Startup's Valuation to $150B
What's novel/interesting about this? Speaking as an ignorant outsider, it seems like they're 'just' querying existing data and plotting it. Obviously this is a gross simplification, but I'd be really interested to hear what's hard about this problem.
It's the same as mobile phones. Most phones have unreplacible batteries, because it's commercially better for their bottom line.

It's not like phones improve sufficiently to justify buying a new one, but the battery lose charge significantly over time.

A car has similar issues. There are only small parts of the car that wears out, and by replacing those parts, the car can be made to function for significantly longer. But modern cars are so complex and intertwined, that it's difficult to just replace worn parts (not to mention difficult to even find those parts available).

Hopefully the conversion to EV cars will resolve some of these problems, but i dont have high hopes. It's not like EV manufacturers are going out of their way to make the car's batteries replacible.
>property owners (NIMBYs)

Quip for quip. More housing -> more property owners -> more NIMBYs. Do you really want more NIMBYs?

Quiping aside, what you call NIMBY i see as opposition to "profits to the developers, externalities to the existing property owners". I'm all for more housing, i just think that the above mentioned profit/externalities distribution should be seriously adjusted, and then you'd see much more housing being built.
It is more and more crucial that Europe, while remaining a stolid ally to the US, tries not to be fully involved in American (economic) wars, propaganda and protectionism. We have been fully dependent on them, now it is time to be good mates, but each with separate domestic and foreign policies. If Republicans win next year, this is not gonna get any better.
No, way too little sun out here. The sun is just a dot far away.
The Voyagers both use RTGs, radioisotope thermoelectric generators. Decaying plutonium, essentially.
That's for the electrically powered systems. The thrusters use liquid hydrazine, which is common for those kind of thrusters.

Edit: There's more about that in the NASA link in a sibling comment.
MRIs don't accelerate objects instantaneously. If you look at the experimental setup, you'll see that they placed objects inside a pipe that allows them to accelerate with very low friction.

Implants inside the body cannot accelerate freely. They are held in place by the surrounding tissue. A force will act on them, and this force can cause complications, but implants will not suddenly turn into projectiles.

The problem is, there's a beginning, sure, but no end to such circular reasoning; seeding perpetual conflict.
This article is not about that, it's about how a technology supposedly makes people worse at something, when in reality the technology transforms the activity. It's about as sensible as modern input methods make people worse at programming. If humans can no longer be useful at some ancient, irrelevant practice because of a quantum leap in technology ... so what? To quote most historic person that has ever and will ever live; what difference, at this point, does that make?

Heh yeah it's a bit weird. But when you're driving a new place in traffic, the voice guidance is a nice safety factor, not having to take your eyes off to look at the center console screen.

We ended up with a Renault Megane e-Tech. In addition to having a much better voice system, being based on Android Automotive, it supports putting the map in the driver console, ie replacing the dials (speed reading gets overlaid of course).

edit: I guess it also says something about how uniform these cars are, feature-wise. Few are radically different, so it quickly boils down to these minor features.
You should consider a one time, lifetime payment. As a solo dev working on occasional side projects I just wouldn't even consider something on a subscription, and $140 (balsamiq's one time fee) is about $100 more than I'd pay. My alternative is a graphics app I already own.

Follow what Affinity did (cheap and one-time) and you'll sell to a lot of people like me who would otherwise give it a miss. Save your subscription tiers for businesses needing more collaboration, SSO, etc.

With that strategy as well you'll build brand awareness which will probably ultimately lead to more sales as those solo devs advocate for its use in teams in their day jobs.
If you really want to get upset, go look what the NTIA did with the 2018 renewal of the .com agreement. Prior to 2018, the US DoC had a significant amount of oversight and control. The 2018 renewal pretty much gave .com to Verisign. The only thing the US DoC can do now is renew the contract as-is or withdraw.
Talking about "technological and political issues" without mentioning any, or without mentioning which components would need to be revived, sounds a lot like FUD unfortunately. Mixing and matching traditional and systemd components is super common, for example Fedora and RHEL use chrony instead of timesyncd, and NetworkManager instead of networkd.

In fact that's exact how the fine is calculated:

day-fine = punishment financially equivalent to incarceration for one day without salary.

Rich and poor get the same number of days "without salary".
There's also a minimum fine. People with no income will still pay a fine.
> Players who want the "pure" game experience can simply not look things up on the wiki.

Because people don't have the self control not to do that and want to get spoonfed the answer, even if not cheating would be more satisfying for them.
There is no mechanism for cooling the magnetite particles below the ambient temperature.

A ferromagnetic material that is placed in an alternating magnetic field is heated by the so-called hysteresis losses, which happen when the material is magnetized, demagnetized and remagnetized. This can be seen e.g. in an electric transformer with a ferrite core, where the transformer core will become hot during operation (the iron cores used in low-frequency transformers are also heated by eddy currents, like an induction stove, but ferrites are insulators, so they are heated only by hysteresis losses).

Because the magnetite nanorods are anisotropic, the heat produced will depend on their orientation vs. the alternating magnetic field.

This is used to modify the heating rate, but there is no way to do cooling.

There exist magnetic refrigerators, which are based on the magnetocaloric effect, but they use very different magnetic materials, e.g. based on gadolinium or other rare-earth metals. Those are efficient only at extremely low temperatures, close to zero kelvin, so they would be useless for freezing animal tissues.
