One thing that strikes me looking at the numbers is that the there seem to be about 80 deaths per year, giving us about 90 thousand lumberjacks. A dozen fewer deaths in 2013 would have brought their rate down a lot closer to fishermen.

[Edit: changed 110 thousand to 90 thousand--it's early here.]

So, I'm speaking from a position of ignorance. My questions aren't rhetorical: they're me actually asking for more information. Also, some of my footnotes might contain information that you already know well. I apologize in advance.

* How do you reliably send down DNS information with just router advertisements? [0] AIUI, and the last time I checked, Debian, Gentoo, and Ubuntu Linux, and Windows 7 and earlier versions of Windows all fail to add the contents of RDNSS advertisements to their list of DNS servers to be contacted. (You can configure Linux to put RDNSS info in /etc/resolv.conf, but -when I was testing-, none of the Linuxes I used were configured this way out of the box.)

* I have my ISP-delegated /60 sliced up into a few subnets. If Comcast changes the prefix delegated to me, my subnet configuration is automatically maintained [1]. If an ISP uses only router advertisements to assign IPv6 prefixes, how can the ISP retain the ability to shuffle customer prefixes around while allowing the customer to automatically maintain his subnet layout in the face of such prefix changes?

* Relatedly, is there routing software that you can configure to automatically slice -say- a /48 advertised from upstream via router advertisements into /64's that are then advertised on a LAN?

To directly answer the question you posed: "I don't know why an ISP would pick DHCPv6-PD over SLAAC, but DHCPv6-PD does seem to solve some problems.".

[0] I run my own DNS server, but others care about their ISP's DNS information. So, the answer to this question doesn't matter to the operation of my network, but the answer does interest me.

[1] Assume that my ISP delegates to me 2001:1:1::/48. From that, I slice two networks: 2001:1:1:1::/64 and 2001:1:1:2::/64. I specify this by saying "Gimmy two networks from the /48 that I will be handed down to you. Number the first network $PREFIX:1::/64 and the second $PREFIX:2::/64." With my setup, my ISP can change the prefix it delegates to me to 2001:1:2::/48, and my network will automatically renumber itself. This is a bit of a pain for me, as I have to update DNS, but far less of a pain than having to update the configuration for the software that defines my subnets.
Therein lies the rub, I don't think it is - the main plugins aren't anyway. There is an open source CLI version though [1].

So it's on trust.

I trust them to have correctly implemented it based on the logic that their entire business' existence is build on the security of the platform.

If it fails, they fail, so I trust them to have put the work in and to do continual monitoring.

I have to trust KeePass too, I don't have the skill to audit it myself and the fact it's Open-Source is no guarantee of security (Heartbleed anyone?) so it's all about where your trust point/compromise lies.

Agree. Is a disease of the environment. Deer kill much more people than predators (ticks, car accidents) but people are not afraid of herbivores. In not urban areas, a few well managed packs of wolves could be our best option. It seems that there is not much Lyme disease cases in the places having wolves.

So it seems that we need to make a choice about what would be worst, to lost some unattended cattle sometimes and be afraid of wolves or living with the fear of Lyme, crop damage and coyotes. If we can live with coyotes in the backyard maybe we could get an acceptable point of tolerance with wolves that avoid humans much more than coyotes do.
Rust is only not memory safe in the same sense that any language with C FFI or a runtime written in C++ that isn't formally verified isn't memory safe. Which basically includes every language.
A bit surprised that there is no security CVE report attached. Debian policy is that binaries are vetted by a debian developer, sorted into Main, Contrib and Non-free, cryptographically signed and later verified by the client package system. The bug could allow arbitrary code to be installed and run without any of the above process if someone MitM the connection between the binary file and the client.
I found it very interesting tool to play around, at the same time when I was playing with it (year ago or so) it felt like black box without any visible feedback on your learning process. It's very hard to tune ML system without intermidiate learning feedback.
One really useful shortcut I learned in bash is Ctrl-/ which is a sort of undo for bash when composing a command. Can't really explain how it works, you should try it out yourself.

Also really handy is Ctrl-Y, which pastes the last cut characters by Ctrl-W, Ctrl-U or Ctrl-K.
If you mix alcohol, chainsaws, macho and sometimes messy scenery you get a ton of accidents, and that's besides the inherent risks in felling trees. I've had some people logging on our property in Canada and witnessed first hand how easily accidents can happen, nobody actually got hurt or killed but the number of near misses (ok, near hits) over a fairly short period of time was absolutely incredible and this was a fairly experienced crew.

One guy nearly got decapitated because a tree got stuck behind a stump while skidding the logs out, another nearly got killed by a 'widow maker' (I guess they're called that for a reason). People would 'drop start' their chainsaws even though that's an absolute no-no and so on. If you ran a machine shop like that it would probably pay off to have it located next door to a hospital or a morgue.

Loggers using more modern equipment (tree harvesters) are likely better off and at a much reduced risk.
Licensing is not the issue. Microsoft could not add NaCL to IE in the same sense that it could not add Firefox' DevTools to IE. It would require a major rewrite and cost tremendous heaps of money.

Ask HN: Use domain name as startup name or keep separate?
I own a .st domain that fit with my planned name, the last 4 characters are "klst".

Would it be better for brand recognition to use the "kl.st" part in my company name and social media or use it without the "." as just "klst"?

I'm thinking it would be easier to remember/connect the name to the website, but I'm also wondering if that's a general "don't do".

It would be like the difference between registering the company as "bit.ly" vs "bitly".
Did you try Foxit reader? They actually have a Linux build that is not as feature-full as other releases, but still better than any native Linux PDF reader.
Scotland is in a different position because the UK already has varying degrees of constituency (e.g. compare crown dependencies, "countries" and so on). Over the past century the UK has effectively paved the way that enables votes like the one in Scotland in the first place (contrast this with Ireland a century ago).

But you are right: what matters isn't whether the vote is legitimate but whether the sovereignty of the seceding territory is (internationally) recognized. This is certainly not the case in the Ukraine, nor is it the case in Spain (Catalan) or Turkey (Kurdistan).
Using HTML5 or not makes no real difference for simple pages, so why wouldn't you do it? As far as I know it doesn't really have downsides.

If they mean something more than just HTML5, figure out what exactly they mean and decide about that.

On the contrary, there is no logical reason to tax investors/savers. I strongly recommend this article by Scott Sumner, who works through the details carefully.

http://www.themoneyillusion.com/?p=28842

The key point is that taxes on investments create distortions while taxes on consumption don't. It's even worse if you tax different investments differently (e.g., interest vs cap gains, short term vs long term cap gains).
Intermittent fasting combined with weightlifting means you are more likely to loose fat and not muscles while fasting. The weightlifting will tell the body that the muscles are needed and it will then have less of a tendency to metabolize them for energy.

Also muscles burn energy while you are sitting on your sofa. Increasing your muscles mass by weightlifting means you will burn more energy all the time. I think weightlifting is strongly overlooked for weight loss and especially for loosing fat when combined with intermittent fasting.

This criticism of BMI is becoming boring, mostly in fitness Internet communities. Yeah, I get it: it's pretty cool to know that there are different kinds of body mass, and - of course - Internet gurus got to show that they know it.

The limitations of BMI are well known; if doctors and nutrition professionals keep on using BMI as an indicator, that's because it's an useful one.

We shouldn't assume other professionals are "dumb"; we shouldn't assume that we are a brilliant bunch, capable of seeing beyond an indicator, while doctors and nutrition professionals use them blindly.
Anchorium 1.0 introduced for OS X
Paris, France - SitePenalise, the search engine optimization specialists, today is proud to announce the release of Anchorium 1.0, a free Mac SEO app to help your business find customers online. Anchorium is most useful for individuals and businesses wanting to improve the position of their websites on Google and on other search engines.

Many website owners are mystified by how search engines works, why their own sites do not show up on any search results and what they should do about it. The app Anchorium demystifies the world of search engine optimization, commonly known as SEO. It clearly shows people the importance of website links and their relationship to their own websites The key in strengthening the position of websites is understanding how search engine bots analyzes and penalizes websites, and Anchorium shows users this information in easy-to-understand terms.

How Does Anchorium Work and Who Should Use it?
Like many of the search engine bots, Anchorium looks at and analyzes inbound linking on websites. However, engines like Google and Yahoo do not reveal their findings. This means that Anchorium will help website owners understand how the web pages are linked together, which is important in how Google determines how much power and exposure a website receives. As most people with websites know, If a site is findable their website will receive more traffic and, in turn, that will translate in increased sales, profit, customers, etc.

Anchorium aims to help anyone with a website be searched and be found. Not only does it explain in plain English what is happening within the infrastructure of websites and offers suggestions for improvement, but also, Anchorium is entirely free-of-charge. There are not even any in-app purchases.

System Requirements:
* OS X 10.10 or later
* 64-bit processor
* 1.0 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Anchorium 1.0 is Free and available worldwide through the Mac App Store in the Business category.

You said garbage collection. You can't make whatever data structures in Rust that you want, without unsafe blocks or garbage collection (or no deallocation).
> It's been the case for at least 15 years that app developers couldn't rely on their users being on the internet. It's annoying, and I agree with you has a chilling effect on less-centralized applications, but doesn't rise to the level of "Disaster."

My point is, it does. It is not an "end of the wolrd" disaster, but it is an Orwellian one. We're only beginning to realise the insanity behind centralised services such as Gmail. I personally suspected those dangers for a long time, (as did the FSF, the EFF, and many others). Edward Snowden only confirmed some of our worst fears.

That said, the lack of public IP is only half of the catastrophe. The other half is asymmetric bandwidth.

Isn't the blob downloaded from Google's servers over a HSTS and cert-pinned TLS connection?[0] If someone has MitM'd Google, it's gonna be a bad day for a lot of people.

From my POV, the thing that's actually bothersome about this issue is that a closed-source blob is automatically inserted into a project that I -and others- had understood to be completely open-source.

The fact that the Chromium Google Hotword code was later made opt-out -rather than opt-in- through a build-time configuration option is similarly troubling.

[0] IIRC, Chromium does support enterprise TLS snooping/interception devices, but those certs have to be loaded into Chromium before such devices will work.

USA's Biggest Brands – Who Has Most Indeed Job Listings?
I don't know, but the one thing I will say is that they're often interesting, or at least some of them.

I tried one, and I've seen it since, which is a challenge i.e. they'll present you with a basic page saying "Try JSON", or something of a similar ilk. Then you have to follow the rabbit hole (automating a solution in a scripting language generally) until eventually you're met with a page with actually how to apply to the real job.

I like companies that do that.

The one I saw the other day was a grid of dots (say 300 or so), with some filled in. They gave you one second to count the dots and submit the form, so the trick is parsing the HTML in < 1 second and responding within the session.

Funny that yesterday I went to see new apartment for rent, the broker was taking me to new places - the return trip did seem smaller.

Even as small as a staircase seemed way smaller when getting down. Analogy could be of writing code with so much hard work (forward trip) and then doing ctrl-a,delete (return trip!).

This could also be related to time passing fast when you are happy than you are sad or worried.
I've gotta raise an eyebrow on that one. If it's a major rewrite to support a new plugin authoring language, your plugin architecture was a terrible mess to begin with.

Given that we're supposed to believe that New Internet Explorer was pretty much a from-the-ground-up rewrite, I can't imagine that their plugin architecture is a terrible mess.
The movement of the industry to Asia has certainly been bad for it in the west. I think your generation was inextricably linked with radio and audio, and the "maker" movement is much more digital. Adding computers to everything to produce little IoT devices.
PSA on Eating while you are Driving
I didn't say "you can make any data structure you want without unsafe blocks or garbage collection." I said that you can write safe Rust without mandatory garbage collection and with deallocation. You're responding to a point I didn't make.

In any case, part of the point of Rust is the ability to write safe abstractions over unsafe code. Arguing that the data structures like vectors are not memory safe is identical to the argument that other languages' runtimes are not safe.
To answer my own question: I like Noto Serif, Lora, PT Serif, and Habibi very much.
>but there is an world of difference being, say, 400kcal under your TDEE eating "better" foods versus junk, both in terms of your mental outlook, how your body will look at the end

I agree with those points, I was referencing this above. Especially the last sentence.
I personally cannot fathom why anyone at all uses whiteboards.

When I was at Caltech, we called our Physical Chemistry prof "Wild Bill Goddard" because he wore a cowboy hat and boots to his lectures. His course was largely conceptual, illustrated with balloon-shaped drawings of electron orbitals, drawn with 3-D projection in which the yellow and red were in the plane of the chalkboard while the pale blue projected in and out.

We all complained that we could not see the blue diagrams. "That's OK, you're not supposed to, that's why I use pale blue."

On night Sonja Benson and I snuck into the classroom to put the arm on his blue chalk. We took it down into the steam tunnels where she doused it with her hairspray, giving it a hard coating so it would not mark the board anymore.

The very instant Wild Bill saw what we had done, he cracked his blue stick in half then continued drawing orbital diagrams we were not meant to see.

You can't realistically audit binary blob. But you can audit source code. So if download is protected by the digital signature, it's OK.
This article doesn't really match my experiences.

I have found Rust to be considerably more expressive than Go.
Traits and proper generic types, iterators and pattern matching all contribute to this.
I tend to write less lines of Rust code to accomplish the same tasks.

As for runtime performance, in my experience they are pretty close right now for my use cases but I do expect Rust to grow faster than Go over time.

That works in my head too, though I'd always add the caveat that you need both and should endeavour not to sacrifice one (even temporarily) in order to improve the other. Along that path (particularly compromising the health side in a pursuit of dramatic weight loss) fad diets and the like lie, and those things rarely work long term.
You don't have to. Example: https://github.com/iron/iron/
