Any amount of carriage returns would still amount to one line. A newline character is needed.
hn.algolia.com used to return a pair of cloudflare IPs: 104.16.46.55 and 104.16.45.55. Requesting hn.algolia.com from these IPs now results in an "Origin DNS error" from Cloudflare.
I interpret this to mean that there is another record missing, as well: whatever the origin was set to.
I am not sure about that. On my system that openssl invocation fails because the site doesn't staple the intermediate Letsencrypt R3 certificate, and openssl doesn't retrieve it while browsers do.
If their system is old enough perhaps they have a version of the ISRG X1 certificate that is cross-signed by the expired DST X3 certificate. Some ssl imlementations did poorly with this. https://letsencrypt.org/docs/dst-root-ca-x3-expiration-septe...
I received one of the phishing messages as well as the follow up / apology. An interesting wrinkle is that both were handled by sendgrid and used the same dkim selector. I would guess that a set of sendgrid api credentials shared with some 3rd party service was compromised.
I received one of these phishing emails, today, and also Namecheap's follow-up/apology. The phony email purported to be from DHL, which really stood out.
Both emails were handled by Sendgrid, passing spf, dkim, and dmarc. They appear to use the same dkim selector, though I suppose that isn't so important--just that the headers were convincing enough.
to create discussion/controversy and therefore attention for the consultancy that created it (postlight).
This would be really interesting as a planning tool. Have you thought about making the start time selectable?
Won't mailgun send all of the same information via event callbacks, or is there event information only available through their web interface?

I am confused by this—-aren’t ASICs the costliest option until some (high) number are fabricated and put into use?
If FPGAs can implement these changes efficiently—more efficiently than cpu miners—-and be re-synthesized to implement further changes, doesn’t that advantage them?
I’m glad that 538 share their data. At the end of their articles and ones like them, I’m often left with questions or little threads that just having the data would help me explore.
Case in point: after their discussion of the bechdel test, I was able to explore follow on questions of my own:
https://28mm.github.io/notes/bechdel-test
Without their data, I probably wouldn’t have bothered, or thought much about it.
Lack of familiarity with SQLite—-and maybe some mistaken assumptions about its behavior :)
Ah, interesting observation. I’ll look at changing it to something more like what you’ve suggested.
If memory serves, the reason it doesn’t first split the description on white space is that some categories contain whitespace, and would never match.
Thanks!
Author here—-that is vastly better, thanks for pointing it out.
Cool idea. I really enjoy playing with variants of hacker news, like this, and e.g tagger news.
I wonder if a diverging color scheme might make the ratios easier to read, at a glance. E.g. a red scale for ratios > 1, and a blue scale for ratios < 1.

This article would be much stronger if it referenced a concrete example.
The author argues bs is endemic to "quick-flip startups," but then clarifies that many of these startups are actually good-- not bs.
but no startups in either category are named, and the distinction is unclear in the abstract.
Anyway, I don't get it.

Her videos show her engaged with various hardware projects-- making them and explaining them.
The article concerns the slander that these projects aren't hers; that she is merely a mascot presenting the work of her (male, engineer) boyfriend.
To notice "a mind at work" in the videos, is to suggest that the videos are her authentic work.

i agree that the author does himself a disservice by assiduously minimizing Michael's crimes.
But I think it makes sense to see Michael as a victim of circumstance, to a certain extent. We can do something about those circumstances.
I think it's a stretch to say the system worked well in this case. Even if you accept the charges and sentencing, the correctional system clearly fails in its goal of rehabilitation.
Michael (the subject of the article) has only limited access to books, while in prison. education is shown to reduce recidivism, but Michael is limited to courses that don't require hardcover books. (Not many courses, in my experience.)
Few employers will seriously consider felons for jobs, and it is hard not to see this as a contributing factor to his recidivism and death.
I don't think the system worked here, very well, at all.
the tone is consistent throughout the article. The author is reflecting on the tragedy of his cousin's life, so the tone is searching and tragic.
Not a lot separates the experiences of the two cousins, at least at first. By the time of his cousins' conviction and release, there is a much wider gulf.
So the tone is tragic-- that seems justified. Isn't this a tragedy?
