>http://pool.ntp.org/ takes me to an "It works!" default Apache 2 page for an Ubuntu installation. As the comment in the issue describes, http://pool.ntp.org/ takes you to a random ntp server.
Either way, the ask was for a difference in www.example.com vs example.com. Not a difference in www.pool.example.com vs pool.example.com. In the latter case, the different subdomains will still be shown (AFAIK).
>Even if you ultimately end up at the same site through redirects, you're clearly not going to the same site initially.
Which is nothing that an end user is going to care about and doesn't provide an example to the asked question.
>Tesla suck around and made electric cars cool and economically viable while the industry had it's backs turned
This isn't really accurate. Nissan and GM both had electric cars 20 years ago. And Tesla loses billions of dollars every year so they've hardly proven anything to be economically viable. The reason electric cars are coming now is because battery technology has gotten to the point of them being viable cars albeit with a slightly premium cost.
Plus you have to look at the total operating cost. Electric cars need basically no maintenance while ICEs you have oil changes and brake changes plus a more complicated engine.
>They have absolutely changed the direction of television in pretty much all respects, from release cycle, to delivery to even marketing.
A lot of this is the classic play of using investor money to buy users. Netflix has been burning billions because they don't charge enough for the content they provide. That problem is getting worse as the streaming market becomes more of a primary distribution channel driving the cost of streaming rights up. We've already seen that happen as Netflix catalog shrinks despite all of their original programming.
Basically, Netflix's product is getting steadily worse while their costs are going through the roof.
This is a rare case where the insurance company is entirely blameless. According to the article, they paid much more than what experts say is reasonable for the care provided.
Amazon Whole Foods delivery is the worst offender in this area. You finish your order and on the confirmation screen they add a tiny little line item for a preselected 10% tip. Suddenly your "free" delivery is now $15.
Whole Foods allowed Amazon to move into grocery delivery much quicker and bigger than they would have otherwise. That purchase made a lot of sense because even though Whole Foods is brick and mortar it extended Amazon's online offerings.
This is more of a head scratcher. The only thing I can think of is adding 1/2 tickets a month to Prime benefits. I suppose it also makes them more competitive in buying/producing content because they can get part of the theater sales.
It will have an impact, no doubt, but probably more like a few points higher inflation than a total crash. Either way, the point is that owing money in a currency you control is vastly different than owing money in a currency you don't.
>An event in Dantzig's life became the origin of a famous story in 1939, while he was a graduate student at UC Berkeley. Near the beginning of a class for which Dantzig was late, professor Jerzy Neyman wrote two examples of famously unsolved statistics problems on the blackboard. When Dantzig arrived, he assumed that the two problems were a homework assignment and wrote them down. According to Dantzig, the problems "seemed to be a little harder than usual", but a few days later he handed in completed solutions for the two problems, still believing that they were an assignment that was overdue.[4][7]
>Six weeks later, Dantzig received a visit from an excited professor Neyman, who was eager to tell him that the homework problems he had solved were two of the most famous unsolved problems in statistics
The US owes China gazillion dollars. Not a gazillion dollars in services and stuff. That's a huge difference because at any point the US can create a gazillion dollars for virtually no effort.
Right, and my point is that you essentially can't. For my address the best you could do is narrow it down to ~30 or so homes that share the same first digit as my address. For this to work you have to:
(1) Have the IP address return the right location
(2) Not have duplicate street names in that location
(3) Have a single digit address OR be the only home starting with that number
That's going to be a pretty rare combo. Probably less than 1%.
Finding a location by IP address is not always reliable. The first result when googling my IP address yields a city 1,000 miles away (other results have the correct city). Then, knowing the first digit of a street address gets you a range of addresses that can represent anywhere from 1 to hundreds of homes. It's theoretically possible to get a specific address from this method but it's unlikely and not reliable.
I think it's the price for eBooks. A good example is Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas:
Kindle - $15
Paperback (new) - $10
Paperback (used) - $6
Paperback (library) - Free
The Kindle version is a significant premium and I don't think there is a matching convenience factor. It's unfortunate that is the case because I'm sure it'd be a lot more eco-friendly and efficient to distribute ebooks.
You probably don't even need to do that. Facial recognition is to the point where a drone can navigate to a predefined area and find a specific person before detonating. Especially in a situation like this where a politician is giving a speech at a very specific known location (i.e. behind the podium on the platform).
