> The auto keyword is also considered a code smell for the same reason: just because the compiler can tell exactly what the type is expected to be, that does not mean the developer can. Therefore it makes the code harder to reason about.

Maybe there is a way to set up a legal entity for the domain that will guarantee continued shared control?

You can chose under which registry you can register your domain. You cannot choose which (in many cases also state controlled) web PKI certificate authority can sign certificates for your domain name. And Web PKI revocation is a joke that m

Web PKI also has not had transparency logs until fairly recently. And Web PKI revocation is a joke as well. At least a "rogue" DNSSEC signer can only sign domains they have been delegated authority over and not literally everythin

The PSL is a giant hack that gives the PSL maintainers authority over something that should be a hierarchical delegation. It's an affront to the DNS system and should not be considered to have any relevance by ICANN or any standards bo

Yes, that's what Verisign does here - they also host many of the other big generic TLDs like .com.

by account42 1mo ago
ICANN should not approve such an obviously fraudulent move even without anyone being sued. Neither should Verisign even consider that they'll be able to get away with it. If you need to sue for this something else is already very wrong

And lets be clear here, refunding the registration fees should NOT be considered even close to sufficient compensation as Neil and others like him have reasonable assumed they would control the name for that time and made choices that depen

Squatting is purely a result of being able to resell domains.

That actually sounds like a good thing. Why are you hording hundreds or thousands of domains?

Yes, in general, scale needs to come with more responsibilities, including a requirement to provide due process, not less like it currently does.

There are many things like moving furniture or even larger amounts of groceries that are infinitely harder without a car. And then there is also the question of the environment on that public transport. IME "good enough that complaints

Why is an app requirement obvious for a label printer?

Yeah I do have a smart phone but there's no way I'll install whatever crappy apps my work requires on it. Those all go on the company phone that gets powered off while I'm not working.

I could see someone trying to sell a toilet that reduces the water amount depending on your business as an eco feature. Or one that automatically ads cleaning products and notifies you on your phone when you need to refill them.

Yes, but the controls on the device cost the manufacturer a couple of cents that they will be happy to not pay as soon as they can get away with it. First it'll be (in some cases already is) the advanced or rarely used functionality. E

But that doesn't make sense. An NPC is an inherent part of the game and can't just move to a different game - that's something only the player can do.
265.
by account42 2mo ago
No what people using NPC mean is lack of agency. And NPC in a game doesn't have agency and can only do what others have intended for him to do. The player on the other hand does have agency. You can choose to do what the game wants you

You can't just ignore network effects when you dismiss issues like this. The market share of Nexus is such that if a mod isn't on there then, for many games, it is effectively invisible to most gamers. We should hold platforms wit
