What's your favorite domain registrar and why?
...which is why I ask -- I need to do something about transfering my domains from the 1990s off of Network Solutions, which is horribad
The problem with every domain registrar is that at some point they stop investing in trying to gain market share and instead try to milk legacy customers for as much as possible, such as minimal maintenance of their website.
In other words, almost every registrar eventually becomes like Network Solutions.

Current status: scraping library websites checking status of banned Dr. Seuss books. Here's availability for Boston library network. Image
The "banned" is my own annotation to the table, whether the book is that on the recent list of discontinued books. It doesn't mean the library has banned them.
Presumably, the reason availability has dropped is because people have checked them out, not because they've deliberately removed them.

Warning for layoffs: IT'S RARELY YOU WHO IS AT FAULT. It's almost always management.

Them: "I won't get laid off because I'm a rockstar 10x programmer"

Me: "You are working on badly managed product that's going to get canceled because it generates no revenue".
Yes, they were a really valuable programmer. Yes, they got laid off. You'd think a better world that they could somehow do this more efficiently and keep the best employees, but they can't.
I wasn't in that layoff -- but wanted to be. So I called up my manager's manager and told him "I'm going on vacation, using up all my accrued time". He barely paused before telling me "...okay, I'll put you on the layoff list", which meant somebody else got pulled off the list.

3/ Gab got hacked because CTO added obvious SQL injection bug.

It's really a debate about orthodoxy: should everyone be forced to conform to our definition of the word "hacker"? or should we learn tolerance of the fact that most people use the word differently than we do?
I cannot think of anything least hackerish than demanding that everyone use the word "hacker" the same way I do.
Words do mean things. For example, I have a constant battle with lawyers who think "open source" means "Gnu" and therefore it all has a copyleft, and I have to explain the subtle differences.

I was wondering where this has been coming from, as discussions of hacks-du-jour seem to mention "cloud" as a solution.

For those readying at home: the idea is nonsense.
The solutions to your problems may involved "cloud" thingies, incidentally, but a cloud thingy is not the solution to your problems. Those pushing "cloud" thingies as the forefront of their solution to your problems, e.g. Brad Smith, are pushing, well, snake oil.
It's like that recent municipal water "hack". Nobody knows what happened, or even if it was a "hack". Yet everyone is promoting their solutions to the problem.

If you are promoting a solution and can't tell me how the hack happened, then your solution to the "hack" is snake oil.
