    For Windows it absolutely is in order of listing however. Typical behaviour is no reply after a second against the primary DNS results in it moving down the list.

    Redundancy aside, this is more important when you span multiple datacenters and always want lookups going to the completely local or most local DC available.

    TIL about the Linux/BSD not having preference though. Good to know.














  • Maybe, but only if you made it mandatory for all companies. And how would you decide how many shares someone in particular owns without stifiling creation of companies? The person who created the company in the first place will be taking on more responsibilty, and should have more incentive to stick around if the health and growth of the company depends on them.

    Even your indie LLC has stockholders, as every corporation in existence has stock created at inception. Owener ship of that private stock can be one person, multiple people, or all employees as mentioned. I’ve participated in private companies with all three of these. In private companies you can also have profit bonuses given to all employees regardless of holding stock or not (I was an employee at such a company and they did very well - so well they ended up being sold to a public company at an extremely high EBITA multiple)

    This can exist even in public company structures, like WestJet, where all employees were shareholders (No longer the case as of 2019, as the company was sold and taken private)

    Without enforcing employee ownership people are just going to people, and when they are anonymous and can easily buy and sell shares without care about the long term or how it affects others that’s where the problem comes in. The “I got mine” mentality.

    Not sure I have a point, other then its not that simple.

    The earliest Elephind match for “dollars to doughnuts” is from “Nevada Items,” in the Sacramento [California] Daily Union (October 27, 1875):

    P. K. Mason, the chap who was arrested at Eureka the other day for stealing a watch and chain from the Antelope lodging house, has been bound over in the sum of $200 to answer before the Grand Jury upon a charge of grand larceny. The evidence against him was conclusive, in regard to taking the watch, but the Sentinel thinks if he states to the jury that he needed it to take medicine by, it’s dollars to doughnuts he will be acquitted.

    The sense of the phrase “it’s dollars to doughnuts” here seems to be “it’s very likely.” To judge from Christine Ammer, The American Heritage Dictionary of Idioms, second edition (2013), the meaning of the expression has remained essentially unchanged over the ensuing 143 years since its appearance in the Sacramento Daily Union:

    dollars to doughnuts, it’s. It’s a virtual certainty, as in It’s dollars to doughnuts that the team will make the playoffs. This metaphoric term pits dollars against doughnuts as in a bet. {Colloquial; late 1800s}

    The underlying idea is that you wouldn’t bet something valuable (like dollars) against something very inexpensive (like doughnuts, which presumably were a dime a dozen—if that—at the time) unless you had a very high degree of confidence that you would win the bet.

  • Another happy Connect user here and you can enable the beta branch from the play store. I ran into a bug a few months ago and made a post, the Dev had it fixed hours later.

    Connect was also one of the very few apps that was very early to doing instance and other flexible filtering options. It’s so good I can browse All without getting upset.
