It can't be laid out in a binding contract because it's a new contract each time you renew the name. This is something every renter has dealt with since forever. So, yes, they could absolutely start trying to shake down the bigges

Not all consumers are equal. Wikipedia sized organizations would easily absorb the relatively trivial cost, so, they wouldn't switch. Their demand is relatively inelastic to price. The people switching are going to be the far more nume

Wikipedia has an interesting history of manual switchboards[1]; they broadly died out in about the '60s with some still used in rural areas into the '90s. And while the switchboards were automated, I don't think even today ou

You could, in fact, dial them one-handed. A rotary phone uses pulse dialing; as the rotor turns it opens the circuit briefly, if you dial 5 it sends 5 pulses. So you can do the same by pushing the switch repeatedly and pausing in between ea

Well, no one else is using that particular static key, so it is a "unique security fabric." I do love the low key burn of putting that vendor description up front.

But there is an effect. We're telling people "you both want to enter into this contract, and there's nothing illegal or fraudulent about it, but if you do it, at least one of you is going to jail." That's morally in

No, as prices increase, the economic justification of switching to IPv6 increases. Businesses will watch the inflation and when their IPv4 bill gets high enough, they'll pay someone to fix their systems. Not only will no shortage occur

Simple is too vague. The goal is avoiding unnecessary complexity, but not all complexity is the same. For instance, I'm not an audiophile, so I have no investment in audio equipment. A Sonos soundbar is, in absolute terms, an extremely

Thanks, that's extremely helpful as I'm working on a language that needs to compile into usable objects. It does have a union type because they wind up being the least common denominator between enums, inheritance, switches, etc.

Having ported a decent chunk of code to work with Numba, the key is to minimize where you're interfacing with Numba. You need to be careful of inadvertently introducing new types. Especially, numba doesn't (last I checked) recogni

Local police. If they send it back, you keep any paperwork and throw it away, since now you have proof that you tried.

So that's what HATEOAS is. I had been wondering why the Github APIs had these absurdly large responses with a shit-ton of urls. > JSON isn't a hypertext, it just isn't a good format for REST-ful services. The point of RES

It's the logical conclusion of SUV marketing.

If you find something like that, you put it in a box and mail it back to the police. Be sure to include an invoice with a hefty charge for shipping and handling.

Only Congress can start a war, so Obama technically merely extended an existing war.

Suppose we divide up the audience of a typical debate. (Caveats: people are on a spectrum, it's not likely symmetric, and this is somewhat framed in terms of political parties but shouldn't be and I can't be arsed to fix it.)

It's even odds that a study like this won't be replicated[1], so it's not worth much. I think the GP's only indefensible claim is "none of this is true," the observations the researchers made could all be stati

It's logical from a short-sighted perspective as I'm sure it looks good to investors to have a longer checklist of features. But shipping a broken feature is eroding customer trust.
