It's nice to see pedantry validated, occasionally. Still, this will invariably lead to a few arguments behind closed doors: - "We should obviously standardize on single quotes, since they're shorter than double quotes and sav

Seems strange that it couldn't identify my pretty-stock Safari 8.0.3...

More likely, I'd guess based on past experience, it's that someone wanted to take down one of their customers, and decided (or found) that the weakest link was the DNS provider.

I had their DNS cached from visiting earlier in the day. FWIW, the entry cached for me point dnsimple.com -> 50.31.213.210

Oof, really good point – I suppose I got lucky in that I was at dnsimple.com just a few hours ago for other purposes. Their DNS was still cached for me, and it all worked flawlessly. I didn't even suspect their outage extended to their

We're kinda tied into DNSimple since we use an ALIAS record for our bare/naked/root domain. Amazon's Route53 supports aliases, but via a 301 redirect, which doesn't work in an SSL context (without browser warnings).

I made a more detailed comment downthread, but in the pediatric rare disease world, ten years is generally considered a fairly typical amount of time before one can finally get a diagnosis, and that's for diagnoses that are actually kn

I know more about the pediatric cases, but fwiw... There are TONS of 'conditions' that don't have a name (quotes only because that may not always be the right term). Sometimes it's not that simple – sometimes it's a

Mayonnaise is oil, egg yolks, and an acid (typically vinegar or lemon juice). If you don't have these things, it's not mayonnaise. It seems like it'd be pretty easy for them to call it "Vegan Mayo," where folks are

Sure, but only once the title has attained secondary meaning over and above the words in the title. Basically, it has to be beyond the level of a bestseller. Most book titles don't come anywhere close.

The choice to have kids in the first place is a purely individual choice. For some, it may be incredibly important. For others, I think it's perfectly acceptable to opt out of the whole thing. Once you've had the kids, however, I&

I think it generally sounds like a good thing too. I'm just wondering if rights-holders and courts will end up agreeing. Thanks for the latter clarification.

This is interesting because the DMCA process is, as I understood it (as a paralegal working on DMCA issues in a past life), a fairly rigid prescription that provides a safe harbor for providers like GitHub, ISPs, YouTube, etc. The simplifie

I know more about pediatrics than about other specialties, but there are several use cases for hidden commentary in pediatrics. One is commentary about how to handle the patient's parent, who may, for example, be well-meaning but verba

No, I think he meant "...who are not using Tor". He's saying that if 1% of normal internet traffic is nefarious, that he suspects that > 1% of Tor traffic is nefarious. That is to say that your odds of finding a nefarious

If he were just writing about what he's doing, that'd be one thing. But he's not: > It’s a tall order; there’s no question about that. But I really need to do this, and I think you do, too.

My story isn't nearly as extreme, but I'm still pretty proud of it. Three years ago, there was a LivingSocial deal with a headline to the effect of "$10,000 for one night in the SF Fairmont Penthouse Suite." In a moment

I'd argue that there's a difference between the ability to move/travel and the ability to operate a vehicle (car/plane/etc). Operating a multi-ton missile puts others in danger if you don't know what you'r

It looks like compensation is equity + cost of living/stipend. I imagine Costa Rica could be a pretty solid combination of inexpensive + nice/interesting. If they can pay a fraction of the cost of hosting it in Palo Alto, but have

I'm in Cole Valley too, and being in the shadow of Sutro causes all sorts of RF issues, especially on the southern half of the neighborhood. AT&T and Verizon are worthless, T-Mobile is barely usable, and the TV signals coming from Sutro

Yup, and if course it varies. Complications are a huge driver of costs, so making marginal improvements to the complication rate (either by improving the standard of care OR by insisting that you go to a place with a low complication rate)

The most useful aspect of this article is the pie charts and line-item comparisons. Ignore the dollar amounts themselves. Why? Because almost no one pays that. Why? - In California, MediCal (state-wide health insurance safety net) pays abou

It's not a great long-term solution, but DNSimple has been disabling their ALIAS support, which many Heroku and AWS users are likely to depend on, especially if you use SSL. Short term, keep your ALIAS record and add an additional A record

Are you doing this manually? I make solid use of DNSimple's ALIAS record type, which is also supported by Route 53, but DNSimple says they don't support AXFRs ( http://support.dnsimple.com/articles/master-slave-support ).
