Newtonian physics is 'popular' because it is easy to grasp with a high school education.

Likewise, the theories of the early David Ricardo era are easy to understand, maybe popular, but not current with academics or practitioners.

I'm rooting for him too. He doesn't have all the qualities of a classic protagonist, yet I find myself hoping that he succeeds in his madcap endeavors. I admire his grit: I would have not had his fortitude in the face of violent threats nor withstand the constant frustration.

The issue is with the Google org website: admins cannot revoke credentials for accounts/emails they cannot see.

Maybe there are too many new TLDs?

I had the opposite understanding about the article. Steve Jobs was an extraordinary leader who through immense will power created good products; an attempt to replace someone like Jobs as the product manager with an ordinary person will result in a mediocre product.

> If ICANN were to put every TLD out for bid every renewal cycle to give it to the lowest bidder there would be no incentive for registry operators to invest in long-term stability and growth of the TLD(s) they operate.

I find it odd that "growth" is a justification. I was unaware that ICANN has a mandate to promote growth of specific TLDs.

These justifications, especially of "stability", make more sense to me in the context of the root DNS server that Verisign operates. Verisign would not agree to run a critical part of DNS infrastructure without a big TLD contract. I'm certain that maintaining and running those DNS servers with 100% uptime is an engineering accomplishment and its stability requires safe hands.

Porkbun doesn't make money when you buy a domain name, but they may make money when you do not renew it:

> At about 21 days into the Auto-Renew Grace Period, the expired domain will be submitted to third-party auction services.

Other registrars, like GoDaddy, do this too.

For example, perhaps the lesser-evil argument played a role in the decision process: would a world where deep fakes are ubiquitous and well-known by the public be better than a world where deep fakes have a potent impact because they are generated seldomly and strategically by a handful of (nefarious) state sponsors?

I disagree. Database engines take SQL and transform it into an execution plan that takes into consideration database metadata (size, storage, index analytics, etc.). Queries should be thought of with a _set based_ instead of _procedural_ approach to maximize the benefits of this abstraction - diving into the implementation details to guide the execution plan formation only when necessary.

Also, the pipeline approach could be achieved with common table expressions (CTEs), right?

That said, I think PRQL looks promising because it is a solid attempt to make RDBMS development more approachable. I also like that `from` comes before `select`: it is far more readable. A solid and modern IDE experience for PRQL could be a "killer app".
