Do you have a citation for that?. I found a source for my claim above: All single octet length top level domain (TLD) names are reserved. Should the root zone ever get very large, there are technical solutions involving referr

I worked at Network Solutions more than 20 years ago (before the Verisign merger) and the lore they shared with me was that when the Domain Name System was first created they didn’t know if it would scale and reserved the single-letter doma

It’s not so straightforward. If the government zones your land to forbid something, the Supreme Court long ago concluded they don’t owe you anything.

That seems more editorialized to me than the plainspoken one that the submitter used.

Your comment would've been more HNey without the last sentence.

So what color was the frog supposed to be in the original question?
307.
by raldi 3y ago
This puzzle is too poorly-worded to be solvable, due to the ambiguous nature of "see" and "count". Could you describe what the actual situation was, what the frog perceived it to be, and what color the frog was?

There will be two classes of shares, one where each gets 50 votes, and one where each gets one. I get the first one and we'll issue the second to everyone else.

It’s been shipping for decades and people have been complaining the whole time.

People act like this is some wild new idea rather than the way every city in human history worked until around 1970 when Americans realized blocking new housing was a way around the Supreme Court’s then-recent ban on overtly discriminatory

I’m certainly in the 99th percentile of early tech adopters and I didn’t place my first Amazon order until 2000.

“You will speak when you are spoken to” -> Very aggressive “You will be joining the oncall rotation” -> Quite friendly

What would it have looked like if it had been sincere?

Can you explain what you mean by “after the first”?

Chrome on iPhone. Looks like Safari does the right thing, though!

I just see a blank screen. I’m on mobile; if it’s not supported, maybe detect that and put up a message with the GitHub link?

Much better, and without the hyperbolic headline.

Also tried it out in both up-to-date Chrome and Safari on my up-to-date MacBook, which can play everything on https://webglsamples.org/ just fine, but on this page, nothing happens.

What’s the embedded ShaderToy supposed to look like? When I press play and wait, nothing happens for over a minute. This post would benefit greatly from a couple screenshots of failed tests.

As far as I can tell from googling, nobody ever says it’s “twice as hot” except as the figurative name for something or to say that it’s wrong to say “twice as hot”.

Usually the HN-ification of titles makes them much better, but in this case I think the original was more accurate. This title makes it sound like all the Bay Area refineries are giving up gasoline. Mods, maybe prepend “Some”?

by raldi 3y ago
Mods, I suggest a title change to something like, “Ads coming to Prime Video”

by raldi 3y ago
Yeah, but an animated GIF or a few successive stills would go a long way here.

by raldi 3y ago
This would really benefit from a few screenshots.

> One of these was the brainchild of Adams’s English teacher at school: define the place-name. So, ‘what is epping?’ and ‘what are devizes?’ I don’t understand a word of this.

Joel has leapt into Burning Man with both feet, building a gorgeous and (of course) technically impressive one-dimensional light show out of a giant military whip antenna.

Fragile’s not really the right word. They often were flaky about reporting input, but were quite hardy when the player responded by smacking them against the floor in an effort to revive them.

Why do you believe that would be the case? People sometimes cause a million dollars' worth of damages in a car crash, and insurance covers it, and somehow regular folks can still drive under this system.

But Joe has insurance.
