In the medium term, I’m hopeful for technology like this:
That’s mostly interesting for flat places that can’t use pumped hydro to store energy, like the Netherlands or Denmark…
You have discovered the Paradox of Evil:
Free will is more important to religious people (at least folks who follow Abrahamic religions) than to atheists. It is crucial to unraveling the Gordian knot of God being good, omnipotent, and omniscient (Calvinists being a notable exception).
I heard a philosopher on a podcast who argued the opposite. His position was that the illusion of free will causes us to focus on vengeance as a moral philosophy, which interferes with making the world a better place.

As a programmer I mostly hate AI written software.
But I do think it’s great that non-programmers can do a lot of things that they never could before.
There’s a bit about those on the Wikipedia:
There used to be restrictions on a hostname.
These had to start with and end with a letter or number, and have only letters, numbers, or a dash. (I heard that originally hostnames had to start with a letter, but 3M got that changed. This might be an urban legend.)
That’s a common restriction for a name still.
Things get funky when you want non-ASCII names - like if you want a cyrillic or Greek name - as registries often limit the allowed characters to limit “isomorphic attacks”. That’s where you use symbols that look the same to trick people into thinking they’re going to another site, like using a 0 instead of an O, or a l instead of an I.
None of this will apply to the XYZ domains that give you a number.
One other issue that might impact you is if you try to connect using only a numeric name. Some tools will interpret such a name as an IPv4 address. Easily solved by using the full name, but weird and confusing if it happens to you unexpectedly. 😅

1·5 days agoI believe that the prosecution cannot call witnesses not on the list, but that the defense has more leeway?
Seems like someone already did this:

Maybe upgrading will fix it?
Self reply as a follow up.
I use nom.es for DNS experimentation. These are like $3 a year or so, and work fine.
I miss DotTK, which was dodgy and didn’t support DNSSEC, but was actually free. 😅
I would not expect any issues.
From the point of view of DNS, a name is a name.
You can never tell what weird restrictions any given software is going to place on you (there were a lot of forms that did not like TLD with more than 4 characters, 20 years ago or so). But it’s only $1, so worth experimenting, IMHO.
Please let us know if there are problems!
So if I went to see Trump talk in a crowd he’d say that he was resigning then turning himself in for his many crimes and would be issuing a full confession?
Imagine how they must feel in Iran. 😞
24·8 days agoMy understanding was that radiation was harmful to wildlife, but less harmful than humans. So not exactly uplifting…
I totally agree. Hopefully the approach works and isn’t locked by some horrible patents so that other companies are prevented from actually selling it.
