Unless you have trusted a CA from your ISP, they won't have a valid cert. They can divert the packETS, but their response will be invalid (fail when the client checks the cert).


I addressed this in my response. You're right that redirection does little more than just blocking the traffic, on account of the certificate check, but if the attacker can force a fallback to regular DNS, that's a problem.


Economics and government are both taught in many public health programs. It has long been recognized that many public health problems have significant economic drivers. Public health policy analysis has long had cost/benefit as critical.


The relative humidity in NYC does not vary much from 60-65%. Absolute humidity is measured as grams water per cubic meter and is virtually never reported because what is relevant to human comfort is evaporation.

Indoor humidity in the winter is generally low because increasing the temperature without adding moisture is lowers relative humidy.

Referring to David Moon namelessly as "the author" in comments about language design (on Hacker News of all places) does not inspire confidence. Whether or not you agree with him, Moon has been involved in language design and implementation for decades. His perspective is directly relevant to discussion that's primarily focused on large scale trends in language design. I don't necessarily agree with everything he says here, but it is definitely worth thinking about, especially where it challenges accepted dogma.


In userland, for one. Or an unprivileged service in a microkernel O/S. There are a lot of concerns jammed into the current concept of filesystem.


It's more than 1, that is for damn sure.

A militia is an organization, not an individual. Well-regulated organizations have a stated and understood mission, rules as to how that mission will and will not be pursued, and governance that is independent of the execution of that mission.

Thus we have civilian oversight of the military, legislative oversight of the executive as part of checks and balances, boards of directors overseeing corporations and non-profits, etc.

A solitary individual with a gun, no matter how good a person they are, is neither well-regulated nor a militia.


It is common to misunderstand what "well regulated" meant at the time of writing. (It did not mean having "rules" or "governance;" rather, it simply meant "working well" for its purpose. And the "mission" is stated right there: it is to ensure the "security of a free state." One person may not be enough - but it's a start.)


Deadspin was the ONLY sports site I would go to, largely because it was the one place where you could count on the writers to examine the context that sports occurs in. Sports doesn't exist in a vacuum. Deadspin was the place where we might get the next Cosell.


The intersection of the sunk cost fallacy and super-voting shares are the root of this ridiculousness. There's nothing unique about Neumann. Charlatans like him are everywhere.

What's interesting about this case is that both labor and capital were screwed by the willingness of an investor to accept the existence super-voting share with an extreme ratio.


I think Matt Levine made a good point, whether or not he was being serious - regardless of what you think of Neumann ethically, he, like an effective short-seller, provided valuable information to the market in the process of profiting for himself. The outcome seems to be that (a) WeWork is no longer going to waste money like it was, and (b) other investors and businesses may be deterred from following in their footsteps. The loss in purported market value is just the difference between the dreams of mania and their deflation.

As they say, if you can't be a good example, you'll just have to be a terrible warning.


Yet it's common for lesbian women to be friends with ex-partners.


A house is the only highly leveraged long term asset not subject to margin calls. In a normal fixed interest mortgage, you can be forced to liquidate based on inability to service the debt, but not because of depreciation of the asset. This is neglected in most analyses of relative return.
