There's a difference between Björn (the name) and björn (the animal).

Capitalization gives additional context in this case, if it were in the beginning of the sentence though, then one would hope it contains other clues as well

New comment by etu in "Ask HN: How to prevent a company from taking my domain name?"

etu — Fri, 24 Feb 2023 12:38:07 +0000

I have `.nu` as one of my domains, some company that resides on the same postal address as the owners of `.se` reached out to buy the domain from me for I think it was €1000. I just told them no, I've had that name for 15 years, I've used it for my personal website ever since and have email and such set up.

I don't care if they printed out my domain on a car print or a card or something that they give out. That's not my problem.

The thing is, companies can (at least under some TLD's) claim domain names. But this claim has to be tested. And the test that I'm aware that exists is kinda if you have some kind of claim to it as well. It may that you own a business with that name, but it's also claim enough that you have that name as your name. Then your claim is valid and you had it first.

I'm not sure how it works with .com, but I wouldn't think they are very different.

In whois records I've seen something called registry lock, may be worth for you to look into that: https://internetstiftelsen.se/en/domains/tech-tools/registry...

It's allowed to have @ as part of the local part if it's quoted. So that wouldn't match my email `"foo@bar"@example.org`

I would assume that it follows the XDG spec and that you can specify XDG_CONFIG_HOME to place the file somewhere else.

It also removes things related to security of the actual device and possibly network if something bad spreads.

It removes things such as: Windows Defender

It also removes "Restore Points & System Reset", so I guess that when it breaks you have to do a fresh install.

Correction: It was released 2016, that's 6 years ago.

The point still stands though. But 6 instead of 8 years.

A properly implemented use of password_hash() would also allow them to use the same field and code for different algorithms over time.

What I mean is, the stored data contains which algorithms it is. So they can in their code or configuration change which algorithms to use and how many times it should hash. Then on login they can verify the password against the hash and also check if the stored hash needs to be rehashed against the current set settings, then it can create a new hash from the password the user entered on login and store that in the database.

Then you get automatic hash upgrades to match the current settings of the hashing of the passwords on the site with basically no user interaction (other than the act of logging in to have the password in plain text).

I would also argue that it's quite hard to determine from a Wikipedia article if a person were a good programmer at the time of creating a certain thing about 40 years ago.

If my memory serves me correctly, Leslie Lamport [1] created TeX because he wanted to write a book on math but there were no good systems to write math, so he made TeX. So to me, it sounds like he were a math teacher at that time, I have no idea if he actually knew programming when starting to work on TeX.

LaTeX

I love the output it gives, but the language is quite horrible.

What does even the "search with bing" do from Notepad? Like... open "default browser with bing to let you search?" by a hotkey and menu entry? That's just... silly.

New comment by etu in "Red seaweed supplementation reduces enteric methane by over 80% in beef steers"

Soy doesn't contain estrogen, it contains phytoestrogen which looks very much like estrogen but actually has the opposite effect and block "real" estrogen. Phytoestrogen can help to lower estrogen levels.

Do you know where real estrogen comes from? Female animals. Do you know the gender of basically all meat/egg/milk products comes from? Females. So that's where your estrogen comes from.

Not from Soy.

Have you seen an image of a factory farm? They don't fix the soil. They ruin it more by having too many animals in a small space.

I'm fine with having smaller amounts of animals in open spaces that goes around and take care of the fields, but today's animal agriculture doesn't take care of that.
