If Cloudflare is knowingly providing cover to the DDOS-for-hire companies after being informed of what they are doing, that's a big bunch of bullshit right there.

Just because a company temporarily relocates behind Cloudflare doesn't mean CF is guilty, though. They can't vet every website before it goes up and each time it updates.

If they aren't kicking these guys off their network for performing the same activities they defend against, though . . . well, "racket" is kind of the term for it.
I actually find colo'ing a new server quite fun and enjoyable... even after doing it a half dozen times... as a techy... something is just so cool about putting a server in the same racks as some monster equipment. ;-P

However, I disagree about colo'ing not being economical. If you setup a physical box in a colo with a hypervisor (kvm, xen), then the density you can get out of 1U is amazing, and makes the entire thing much more affordable.

Take this site for example: https://www.ubiquityhosting.com/cloud

16GB ram, 8 coers for $128 a month. Considering most 2U colo spots I've seen hover around $150 a month, seems like the colo is not a good deal. However, the VPS for $128 a month is a single server. Your $150 a month colo, with xen, you can pack 3-7 vm's in the same space, making the cost-per-(virtual)server much lower.
The browser is rapidly becoming the new operating system. JS finally becomes a first-class citizen, not just a lowly pop-up vector. Now with WebGL and WebCL, it will be unstoppable.

Just a good alternative, I'm willing to pay, I just get scared sometimes that I'm going to lose out on quality by moving away from gmail.

But the more time goes on, the more I hate the interface changes to gmail, and IMAP to my local client is something that can happen with just about any service.

"Moniker formerly operated off a legacy code base built on outdated technology that would not support the introduction of new products and services in line with our goals."

I hope their goals include long term survival, the way they are going about it I really wonder what sort of 'introduction of new products' would warrant a non-incremental approach like this.

I've moved over a website a few years ago under heavy use (much heavier than monikers ever would see) without the users noticing the switch had even happened.

This was totally uncalled for and plays fast and loose with the moniker brand as well as with the customers who typically depend on moniker to deliver.

The comments section underneath that article is absolutely terrible.
Are you sure you are counting that memory usage correctly? Because altought KDE consistently uses 6GB on my machine by some metrics, the total used memory at the same time stays under 1GB.
That isn't how the legal system works in the US. There have been cases decided this way already.
Unconsciousness and retrograde amnesia are two different things. If you're unconscious you're not going to have any memories. There are procedures where you are sedated and those are the ones they try to induce amnesia about the event.
That certainly tells us that there is no single type system that can describe every correct program, which seems to be the stronger version of Steve's thesis that he was supporting in the immediate parent.

A weaker version of his thesis, which could still support his original phrasing in the GGP, would be "for any correct program, there exists a type system in which it can be typed [though we might not be able to find it]." That doesn't seem to be ruled out, and sounds plausible, though I don't know of any specific results on it.
Statistical shortcomings in standard math libraries and how to fix them
That's an interesting point, I had not thought of that. I always think of this from the point of view of the webmaster, ease of change after launch seems like a plus to me. But the way you put it I can see that there is a significant downside to this as well (and I'm very well prepared by Moniker to see that downside sharply).

I'm real. Uber is 100x better than normal taxi services. The cars don't suck or smell bad, the drivers aren't assholes, and the fares are reasonable. That is completely orthogonal to my experiences in any taxi.

America won the digital age, but the post-digital age will be won by whomever builds the most progressive laws into privacy and digital rights. America is at risk right now, and although momentum carries (hence why we even talk about Microsoft decades after any real innovation), but if America doesn't quickly course correct, they're soon going to find that the thing that made them great was freedom to innovate and thrive. In this new era, America is no longer the leader in freedom or the American dream. I hope whoever wins the next election is at least aware of this, as a country that focuses more and more on IP as a significant exportable product, if no one trusts or uses those products, and the natural resources have already been significantly exploited, this does not bode well for the long game.
Hey, one of the engineers who built this over here, happy to answer any questions you have.
The demos from the book are incredibly lame -- hardly more than "hello world".

I checked out the linked game engines, and of them the only compelling option seems to be ImpactJS (Turbulenz is hard to tell since the website linked is user-targeted). That said, ImpactJS seems to be non-free ($99). (Not complaining, $99 is a small price to pay for a good library with documentation.)
If someone buys gold from this machine, potential thieves can guarantee that they'll be carrying at least $255, which is way more than most people take from ATMs.
Yes, seeing as you can't really create much of an engine with just the DOM.
So collect the country or state, not the home address.
Alt+F2 does this. It's actually done this since at least KDE 2.x, maybe a bit earlier.
I was just in Hawaii a couple of weeks ago, and Uber uses the local Yellow Cab there instead of black car or local drivers.
The DDOS-for-hire company doesn't need a significant or even continuous web presence, does it? Seems ineffective to DDOS them.

EDIT Surely many of these DDOS-for-hire companies cross into illegal territory. CF can maintain a content-neutral stance by kicking illegal activity off.
The first Rhapsody ran on Intel and you could compile Cocoa apps to run on (bare) Windows NT.
I've seen attempts at it before. It gets pretty complicated, because of attribute/content split. You're basically choosing between something so generic and complicated it's hardly any better than a validating text editor with autocomplete, or something so cut down that it is by default specialized to its use case, in which case it is basically just a specialized editor of some sort that happens to serialize to XML, which is common, and no longer is a "general XML editor".

It seems like they did not even test the new system. I participate in two of the most popular domainer forums and there are stories of people losing domains they had in their accounts, double and triple charges to credit cards, whois privacy deactivated,etc,etc. Their website was down for around 2 days and there's lots of people that lost domains because they were unable to renew them. It's a huge mess. Some people had to block their credit cards with their bank because they were getting hammered with charges.

I was charged for one domain that was not supposed to be renewed (I was transferring it out). Now I have to deal with their abysmal customer services.

To add insult to injury, they posted a half-assed statement on their website and social media accounts and left it at that.

Their previous interface was very simple, sometimes a bit awkward to use but it worked and had no fancy animations,transitions,etc.

Unfortunately it seems that most registrars lack good UX designers. Namecheap's recent re-design is also a mess. They added some fancy sliding menus and animations on top of their old design and made it even more confusing. But at least their system works.
Rabble rabble rabble.

The solution described is incorrect. Area charts and column charts are used to display different types of information. Area charts (and line charts, similarly) are used to display continuous data - data that must pass through point B to get from point A to point C. Column charts are used for non-continuous data.

Some examples:

You should use an area chart (or just a line chart) when tracking your weight. If you weigh yourself on Tuesday and you weigh 150 lbs, and then weigh yourself on Thursday and you weigh 155 lbs, because of how weight works, you can assume that between Tuesday and Thursday your weight traveled through all the points required to get from 150 lbs to 155 lbs.

If you're tracking the amount of hours you sleep every night, you should use a column chart. Just because you get 6 hours of sleep on Tuesday and 8 hours of sleep on Thursday doesn't mean you got 7 hours of sleep on Wednesday. The data isn't continuous.

For market share, that data is continuous - you can't get from 10% market share to 15% market share without passing through all the percentages in-between. Therefore, a column chart is very much the wrong way to display that information.

I'm in the registrar space (not affiliated with moniker at all). I will tell you what the real issue is. New gTLD's. (think .web,.app,.house,.car,etc) They have forced everyone to at minimum update their provisioning and billing systems. Some had older and crustier systems than others so its not surprising to see this at all.

Once you update, its hard to make sure you caught every single business rule and weird edge case from your old system and given many of the ccTLD's and gTLD's all have slightly different ways of handling things (.eu domains have no admin contact, .be domains must actually be renewed 30 days before they expire or you lose it) its quite the nightmare and if its a really old system, those tweaks are not evident.

Testing is also quite difficult as the ot&e environments the registries provide are 1) not exactly like their live system 2) require you to create a domain in order to do anything else. So in order to test your new system with actual data, you need to create every single domain in your live system on test. Then issue the commands to put it in exactly the same state as live, however, you cannot mirror a domain perfectly as sometimes its state is set by the registry for legal issues (udrp,etc). It would be much simpler if they just copied live to their sandbox periodically.

I'm not defending them, their launch could have definitely gone much better, but I've been in their shoes and I feel for the tech folks there who are probably spending a lot of late nights at the office and working weekends right now.
I was a very happy Digg Reader user for a while, but the bugs just kept getting worse and worse, and I jumped ship.

These is very good news overall, taking into account that we are now in the first-stage-of-adoption of bitcoins, where the most important is to spread the info about bitcoins and increase its usage.

In a later stage, when bitcoins are more diseminated and people feels bitcoin more "domestic", then there will be a interest for "personal-wallets" and "business-wallets", which may be hardware-wallets, or multisig-insured-online-services...

TLDR; this is a good-first step toward bitcoin adoption, further later will be another step towards personal-wallets.
What infrusnet is saying, is you already have odds to double spending even with < 50%. You just have to try hard enough, by try hard enough, is doing a lot of transactions.

Moreover, it's possible that one of the other 52% colludes with GHash.IO and they have more than 50%.

Disagree: ZFS is show stopped by unimportable pools, which currently are probably usually recoverable if someone could do the work to fix that use case (still iffy).

I've had a ZFS volume get very thoroughly trashed though by bad writes and still been able to recover data from it (back in the foolish days before ZFS-on-Linux when I had OpenSolaris in a VirtualBox VM with real disks, and something happened that randomly nuked blocks all over one of the filesystems. Interestingly: just the one FS. I had a whole bunch and others were untouched).

"5. Straighten out the naming convention. Link model numbers to processor speed. When buying a 3400 laptop computer, what, exactly, are you getting? Unless you study the brochures, you don't know how it compares with its competition. On the other hand, Wintel talks explicitly about processor speed. It's a Pentium 200-MHz box."

Urgh. And while we're at it, why on earth did Apple never plaster their hardware with "Intel Inside" and "NVIDIA" stickers? How else am I supposed to know that my laptop has an Intel chip and an NVIDIA chip?!?! Surely everyone wants to know this!
Also you did misunderstand: the ECC requirement is essentially purely because if data is corrupted in memory, it can't be repaired. It's not because ZFS is somehow more susceptible to the problems of memory corruption - the FS is just obsessed with data integrity.

Everyone asks the same question. It does not matter if Coinbase or Expedia "sits" on BTC they receive. As long as there are people willing to sit on them, the price is going to stay the same. The price/liquidity of BTC depends not on who exactly sits on BTC, but on number of hands that own it. More hands -> more demand -> higher price and liquidity.

If UI/UX is your primary concern, check out Name.com. One of the best UI/UX's on the web, period, much less among registrars. Perfectly Ajax-ified, eg, not too much not too little, lots of attention to detail and every little thing just works the way you'd expect.

That said, they supported SOPA and have been caught in the past redirecting unused subdomains of registered domains. I switched to Namecheap and Gandi.net as a result, but still Pine over Name.com's UI/UX. I rank it up there with Gmail.

I can't be sure, but from trying different keyboards, I found SwiftKey seems to be faster to adapt to my particular patterns of language usage. I assume this is because it has access to a reasonable amount of text written by me. In any case, I have found the prediction to be superior to other keyboards I've tried. (Although I haven't tried Fleksy yet. Looks quite promising.)
> I would contend that though you are at the tail end of the curve that doesn't need an intermediary

If you want to do away with intermediaries, what Bitcoin needs is a large ecosystem, such that my BTC never needs to be converted to USD to be useful - I want to be able to be paid in BTC, then to be able to exchange that same BTC for food. The food vendor in turn needs to be able to exchange that BTC for, say, a car.

For that to happen, Bitcoin needs a critical mass of adopters. Unfortunately, the Bitcoin feature of capping the number of total BTCs in circulation means that the number of BTC users will always be limited.

As far as the merchant end you can get the BTC turned into USD immediately if you choose. I integrated coinbase payments into my sites a few months ago. You also have the option of holding them in BTC. The technical side of what they are doing I'm not sure about that. Unless they have a huge pool of cash to buffer this money conversion they are probably selling the BTC behind the scenes.
As I read your article, it sounded like Joe showed up to run a company that she had previously run. If that is correct, it was (as the OP said) a demotion. She didn't decide that she wanted to quit until after this demotion. When she said that she wanted to quit, she complained about Joe's management style.

Do you realize that saving face is incredibly important in Philippine culture? Or, more generally, how much do either of you really know about Philippine culture? Just because they have a strong American influence, it does not mean Philippine people are American.

Sorry you went through this, but based on what you wrote, this sounds like a case where you didn't know enough about the culture before you set up shop.

Yup. My friend's dad had his UK account(!!!!) frozen on request of USA government because he was doing business with Cuba(trading cigars). He has never ever been to USA,and the money being transferred wasn't going through US either. It took 6 months before whichever US agency finished their investigation why a UK-citizen would be buying Cuban cigars, and they "allowed" the account to be unfrozen. Absolutely unacceptable if you ask me.
