No, the check is done when the CA issues the cert. This allows you to change your CAA record without making your cert invalid (see also https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6844#page-2)

Unless they've reduced the price, Azure Container Instances is mainly for one-off/bursty tasks. If you need a service running 24/7, it's prohibitively expensive.

I think once their managed kubernetes (AKS) hits GA, the learning curve will be slightly lower.

The comment was also made over 5 years ago. GitHub PRs have improved since then, though he may still find them deficient.

If you want to stick with Azure, blob storage (+CDN if you want both HTTPS and a custom domain) works pretty well and is dirt cheap.

Reminds me a bit of this earlier piece on Lawfare: https://www.lawfareblog.com/your-city-or-your-soul-moral-com...

Virtual desktops on Windows have been around since at least XP, albeit as a powertoy. I know at least AMD, and I presume Nvidia, also offer(ed) their own virtual desktop solutions as part of their GPU driver suites.

Not the parent, but a fellow motorcyclist. The biggest thing for me was learning to better anticipate the actions of other motorists. A couple of other things you quickly learn are to always leave yourself an out and always be watching/scanning your surroundings.

Car drivers should be doing the same, but it's entirely too easy to get complacent.

I'd say it's worth a listen/read if you're into the genre

>[edit: reading this, I'm not sure his lawyer told him to do it, quite the opposite actually]

I didn't see anything in the article suggesting that, just that Uber's lawyers said they wanted him to release the information

The sibling comment is correct that e2e encrypted messages are not the default, but they likely weren't available at all in this case. They started rolling it out in July 2016[0], but that case started in June 2016.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZwiQd-0xqQ [0] is Nick Yee's talk that he mentions in the first couple of minutes (that he says "destroyed his entire presentation").

http://www.gdcvault.com/play/1023242/The-Gamer-Motivation-Pr... is the GDC version, though I imagine they're exactly the same, with the slides at http://www.gdcvault.com/play/1022959/The-Gamer-Motivation-Pr...

Discussion on a somewhat similar story from a few months ago ("Facebook recommended that a psychiatrist’s patients friend each other"): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12388370

To expand a little on my sibling (prawn's) comment, I don't think the original idea is trashed, but travelers do have more options now. I've stayed at an "AirBnHostel" as well as "AirBnVacationHomes", but most of the time, I've stayed with hosts who like to hang out and share their city/lives.

It's relatively simple to discern which type of AirBnB you're getting from the host's description, and from the cities I've rented in (granted, mostly popular/populous destinations), there's plenty of choice between the types.

It's shared via Google Drive from the reddit post[0] linked in the OP: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2_-knUokw90RzIwUEJsU2pYdWs...

Count me among those for whom "private cloud" effectively means a colo solution (a sibling comment[1] mentions another version of this, which I would also consider a private cloud since it's on dedicated hardware). I would call what you first referred to as a "managed cloud" service.

I'm not sure if the article has been edited in the meantime (that exact text isn't there), but they mean that the devices that create the noises are from the 18th century (or at least replicas of the devices, I'm not clear on that), not the recording equipment itself.

Bandcamp requires lossless audio formats (https://bandcamp.com/help/uploading#aiffwavuploadrequirement), so it's up to the artist/album whether it's a transcode.

I've recently used both and think they're equal in terms of immersion when the Vive is roughly around the minimum space requirements. For gaming, I could take either; for non-gaming experiences, I haven't seen anything on the Vive that wouldn't feel similar on the Oculus or vice-versa.

If you have a large open space the Vive may pull ahead, but I haven't tried anything that could take advantage of that.

FWIW, I was sold on VR when I first tried DK1, but now having tried the consumer version and the Vive (years later), I'm even more excited.

Not that this fully addresses point #5, but automated mechanical means to enter the PIN do exist: http://www.blackhat.com/us-13/arsenal.html#Engler

As gpm pointed out in a sibling comment, the issue is that they can't brute force the PIN without wiping the phone.

It's working fine for me (and I have ad blocking + noscript on). Perhaps try the Google cache version: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache%3Ahenry...

Your parent is referring to a DMCA exemption approved by the US Copyright Office in 2012. Jailbreaking phones is currently legal "where circumvention is accomplished for the sole purpose of enabling interoperability of [lawfully obtained software] applications with computer programs on the telephone handset"[0], while jailbreaking tablets is not.
