Quad9 (https://www.quad9.net/) exists and is a 501(c)(3) DNS provider with a relatively reasonable privacy policy. It supports direct DNS resolving and has DOH servers available.

The problem is not so much the lack of available infrastructure but the lack of awareness of alternatives existing, so everyone ends up just using the known defaults (google or cloudflare mostly)

As an Australian E-3 holder, what kind of requirements/restrictions?

Reachability on an x is done by swiping down the bottom edge of the screen, and it really does feel a lot more natural than the double-tap of the older iPhones.

What Disney did is perfectly legal. They fired people, and hired a third-party contractor to fill the positions for cheaper. That third party contractor was "unable" find Americans to fill the positions of "contracted IT worker" so used H1-B workers to fill roles at the contracting agency, not disney. They were then contracted out by the agency (who they officially work for) to do work at Disney.

It is incredibly shitty and absolutely against the spirit of the visas, but it's not against the letter of the law.

I'm in Australia where we get all that stuff (and amazon sells books and not a whole lot else) and my tax rate (in a relatively high tax bracket) is ~35%, a chunk of which is paying off my (government run, non-profit) university debt. Judging by the sibling comments, it seems like that high cost is about -5% tax at best...

China is such a massive place that Chinese players in particular don't need to compete outside china. Two of the largest social networks, QZone and Sina Weibo at >645,000,000 and >500,000,000 users respectively are at the level where they're only smaller than facebook and they're used almost exclusively in one country.

You don't need to compete internationally when you can get that kind of userbase domestically, and the Great Firewall is absolutely and to some extent intentionally a big part of that.

The homepage is almost completely unusable on firefox on OS X. The scrolling is jerky as hell, things pop in and out seemingly at random and the whole feel is so broken and terrible that I was so distracted by it that I didn't actually read any of the content.

It's even worse that on pages completely devoid of moving content and general broken js, the scrolling is still awful any time you get near the big picture in the footer.

A big picture, I might add, which has absolutely nothing to do with what I am guessing from hn comments is the actual point of the site.

And as a domestic student those fees are also subsidized so the actual debt is relatively small (software engineering at a middling university ends up just shy of $30k for the entire degree)

If you actually looked through the images page you will find that when the single word "Coke" is used (most notably on the Diet Coke can, but also on occasional promotional items) it's in a much more modern serifed font, rather than the script font used for the classic Coca Cola logo.

Given subscription rates and general numbers of subscribers compared with the payouts to artists I'd say there's a lot of money to be made in streaming music, just not if you're an artist.

It's used extensively in Australia too, and having recently gone through an university that uses it extensively for assignment submissions, out of class "discussions", and a few other things, and it's a terrible, broken platform.

The primary thing I was forced to use it for was assignment submission, which was primarily collections of source-code, compiled binaries and reports on them,so nothing overly large, though generally larger than the single word document I suspect the uploader was designed for, and it was horrible.

If your connection was somewhat poor the uploads sometimes randomly failed either reporting success or not reporting anything at all, sometimes it took hours to upload small files, and frequently you had to use chrome to upload, as the firefox uploader would simply fail. Even uploading from the university campus, from the same building the servers were hosted in the upload process was frequently so risky that some lecturers asked for the submission of source code in physical copies, as well as the digital submission, to ensure something got submitted they could look at.

I'd love for something better built to take over, but given how dominant moodle is in the market, I can't see it being shifted any time soon.

Things like this always bring to light a particular side of the internet population that is fascinating to watch but very frustrating to participate in an activity "against".

These people immediately take an incredibly negative approach for their own short term enjoyment without any apparent thought of the longer term effect of their actions, and what people will do to counter that style of behavior generally making things worse for everyone, both grierfers and legitimate players.

I'd be curious to know what kind of "motive" for want of a better word underlies these kinds of actions, and why this destructive "fun" is so popular on these "infinite freedom" style games in particular.

The odd thing with a question like that is how "most dangerous" is determined. Logically the volcano is the most unsafe environment, and people do die on them, but statistically far more dangerous, at least by death count, is the bed.

This is the kind of problem that would still cause issues for some people, especially if you had to scale them to produce identical captcha's relatively rarely (if the same one shows up too many times it can easily be hard-coded, requiring the most basic detection to solve it reliably) in that as you come up with more of these types of questions the expected answer gets rapidly more nuanced.

Other things on the plane also have similar beacons (the flight recorder, most notably) but have yet to be found, so it's not completely out of the question that they be deployed but not located.

Or better yet, a simple userscript. That way a single script could be run on all modern browsers with a couple of small tweaks required for the big 3, and easily installable out of the box on Opera and Safari.

I strongly disagree. In the Australian system everyone gets a higher education loan from the government(with interest locked to the inflation rate and repayment only required if and when taxable income passes a certain threshold), and yet our tuition rates are much lower than in the US.

For example, I just finished a Bachelors degree in a STEM field at a relatively middle of the road university and my total education debt comes out just short of $30k.

The tech guys at deviantart are constantly working to make the sign-up flow better and then to keep people coming back, and given the relatively large number of younger users they get it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if they implemented that after finding a lot of people get their email addresses wrong.

As an aside, they also post fairly detailed blog posts about some of the challenges of working at the kind of scale dA faces (http://dt.deviantart.com/blog/)

Not a great argument for the PS4, considering that online play will require a subscription no cheaper then XBL Gold.

Unfortunately not that I can find. I didn't even realize that one lead to a paywall, since it seems to be completely unlocked to anyone on an .edu.* network.

The biggest problem for that kind of editor in a web environment is making it work consistently across platforms.

Getting everything nice in up to date desktop browsers is relatively simple (contenteditable div, little bit of javascript, easy). Try to introduce iOS into the mix and things get very messy, very quickly.

Not the best quality, but http://www.amsciepub.com/doi/pdf/10.2466/pms.106.1.35-42 seems to be the full paper.

Sydney International (after customs) is pretty nice, but Sydney domestic is pretty horrible. No power anywhere, very expensive food, horrible chairs, and it only got wifi this year but it's slow and painful to use.

Honestly, I'm a little surprised they weren't all completely open by lunchtime the first day. Kids, when given access to technology in a school environment will always find new ways to (primarily) play games, and those ways will evolve as the schools desperately struggle to keep up, but the school will always lose that particular arms race.

You primarily lose a few of the django filters, though they can all be implemented into the jinja filters if you need to

One thing I'd also recommend for speeding up django is swapping in djinja. Straight drop in replacement for almost the entire template engine, but much faster.

The iPhone 4S (so, the one in all the demo photos) has a screen resolution of 640×960 at 326 ppi, and the Enfojer uses plastic "toy camera" lenses similar to the ones in Lomography cameras, so the results are always going to be slightly blurred.

> In a tipless society, your entree would just cost more

I live in a tipless society. Things cost exactly the same here (in Australia) as they do in the US. Difference is we don't have to pay extra on top of the meal.

We also get paid far far more. Minimum wage over here, in fast food, is $20 an hour.

While it doesn't really help mobile users much, I have a rather buggy userscript that converts the horrible HN markup to something actually workable.

If anyone where interested, I could finish it relatively quickly...

Which is just further proof that this is in no way ready for any mainstream use.

If your (usually not technical) users have to go through two different menus just show your fancy icons you're doing it wrong.
