So I found this article [1] about domain name transfer. Which clarified one doubt that I had. As I was under the impression that you were hopelessly stuck at paying rent for life middleman (to a reseller or in this case a registrar).

This raises another question. Is it worth starting you own registrar? Or it is fee prohibitive?

I'm a bit confused about the whole DNS thing.

Namely when I buy a domain name from who exactly am I buying it from?

Put in other words, what's the best way to buy a domain name and avoid the middleman fees?

In terms of renewal, does it make a difference if you buy it from the root TLD authority (not sure if saying something silly here) or some squatter/middle-man/domain-park?

Who decides on the price hike for the next year?

I find the whole DNS management quite broken. The new TLDs is a good example. .dev got owned by Google and a bunch of other TLDs got acquired by some VC backed digital-estate company.

Do you still have the previous versions of the site?

I did like the places/travel pages.

I feel saddened by this this. But at the same time I see Japan in a very complicated situation with China expanding its maritime influence in the region.

If it doesn't flex its military muscle (needing the secracy for it) it may find itself in a vulnerable situation against China. Although on the other hand it really doesn't stand a chance against China's nuclear arsenal.

If China used a nuclear warhead would the US riposte in the same manner?

What I don't get is the "Japan to battle in the middle east". Is this a "you scratch my back and I scratch yours"? Or just a cover for not saying "we're preparing for an eventual conflict with China"?

How does Dwolla differ from Stripe?

Did you notice any differences depending on the carbs? White rice, brown rice, sweet potatoes.

And what about accompanying seasoning? Olive oil, coconut oil, fatty meat/fish.

I agree with all of the above but I think you missed another important aspect about money.

Engineers in SV are paid bucket loads of money.

They can afford to take one year of to travel the world or just work on their own projects.

For me that is key.

How many people do you know in Europe that can do that?

Another thing is in Europe the biggest tech hub is in London. And if you're in London you have to wonder

Why am I dealing with this crappy weather when I can move to somewhere where I'm paid 2-3x more and it's summer all year?

I know someone who falls along these exact lines and has moved to SV. Although he was already working remotely to a US company.

And that is how you make pro-warfare propaganda as to justify military incursions and any collateral damage.

The End.

Could anyone comment on the Linux kernel's limitations that makes containers insecure as compared to BSD jails or Solaris/IllumOS zones?

Is there anything on Linux roadmap that will change this?

Whatsapp (facebook) is not the only the only company keen on censoring.

Airbnb chat also censors messages. Typically when you try to give your number or whatsapp or some link.

That is 2h. Could someone tl,dr please?

I tried running various Linux on my MacBook, but discovered everything I hate about managing Linux on a server platform is in fact amplified in a desktop context.

I'm curious on what problems does Linux brings that FreeBSD doesn't.

My main gripe with GNU/Linux distros is the whole package handling. Software stack complexity and the stable vs. new conundrum.

I also experienced the same thing.

Could someone explains the tech aspect of this?

If noscript is enabled then how is code being executed? HTML and CSS tricks?

This looks useful.

I'm just wondering if it's possible to install Linux on any of these and everything works out of the box.

It would be nice if the specific CPU model number was listed. It just says "Intel Core i7". I'm wondering if these netbook CPUs support any virtualization features. Although with that limited storage you can't do much.

I would really love to see a linux-laptop version of this site. With information on supported devices.

I haven't tested it yet but this looks great! I was kind of looking for something like this.

I'll give it a try in a week or so. Hopefully the problems will be fixed.

IMO the only thing missing is the ability to tag your entries. Maybe the site could parse a markdown tag entry in the file. Something like:

# _tags_ #

programming

c++

network

We implemented a RNN with 2 layers and 128 hidden units in hardware and it has been tested using a character level language model. The implementation is more than 21× faster than the ARM CPU embedded on the Zynq 7020 FPGA.

I'm left curious on the performance gain factor when scaling the network in terms of layers and units. Would the performance gap widen as the RNN grows?

Is your opinion that more data will solve this?

If so, I'm guessing Google, maybe Facebook too, has plenty of data. What else is holding them back?

Discrimination is a funny thing. We think we've solved it all (or at least seen the light on what's right and wrong) when it comes to race, gender, religion.

Yet prejudices and discriminatory attitudes show up again when dealing with other factors. Today is seems the trend falls upon age and height. The worse is that it tends to manifest at an almost subconscious level.

Will DNA be Turing Complete? :)

Science trumping nature.

(pun not intended but given the political circumstances the expression does give pause for thought, maybe a better term would be:)

Determinism over randomness.

Like you said with TrueCrypt the key stays in RAM and is vulnerable to attacks.

Using a hardware based key makes digital attacks impossible AFAIK. Although it's still subject to physical attacks (eg: theft, coercion).

BTW, I'm surprised there is no mention of SSD and other flash drives, since IIRC that poses problems for FDE.

This one is gold. Thanks for sharing it.

It's another confirmation to what I already suspected.

That robot/alien overlords will have no pity on the human race.

And it still seems to be the only solution to work cross platform, free, open source, that offers plausible deniability, and doesn't have any critical bug or backdoor.

What would be nice would be for these researchers to publish those fixes. And let the unofficial forks (like Veracrypt) to incorporate them.

Obligatory "Latency Numbers Every Programmer Should Know"

http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/~rcs/research/interactive_laten...

Could you explain these lines:

int (* PC[15])(int i) = { i,i,f,i,b,f,i,i,f,b,i,f,i,i,fb }; // Printer Cycle

int (* LC[2]) (int index) = { go, stop }; // Logic Cycle

I can see they behave as functions, but I don't understand what exactly are they or the logic that makes then work.

It doesn't look like it was implemented following TDD.

No recruiters would accept it.

I skimmed trough it so it wasn't clear to me.

But if you ssh and have root access, then you should be able to change the password. As well as edit a startup script to move/delete the backdoor files.

Try it at your own risk.

How much control can you get in one of these things?

Are the drivers open source?

Could you install GNU/Linux and get a full FOSS system?

Since Chromebit also has an USB port, could you boot an untrusted desktop or laptop with it?

I'm curious on what type of 5-minute breaks fellow HN readers take.

I've noticed that time really distorts when you open a new tab for a "quick HN browse" or similar.
