Conspiracy?

Apple and others are entitled to keep their strategies unsaid, unconfirmed. Which leaves only speculation, which turns into observation when we see Wired's lead website story is nothing but a signpost to Apple native land. A happy land with double rainbows, shooting stars and perfectly trimmed hedges.
While I agree that this is annoying, but how is this different from pay walls that vary from 1-2 sentences to blurred out sentences?

And what about sites that show content when the referrer is Google but show paywall otherwise?
Culture is a distraction.

The actions in the articles against boys and girls fail the live-and-let-live principle on the most basic levels. The word 'uncivilised' gets thrown around a bit, and loses weight. Here we see it in the raw. These practices are uncivilised behaviour. They favour might-is-right over the freedom of the victims.

People should not be slaves. Humans should be able to live their lives to pursue their own interests.
I think that the (sad) more likely prediction is that there is no other job. As productivity and automotation increases, demand will increase for limited qualification jobs (until they are gone)
>She and her male colleagues were approached by a local gentleman seeking advice on how his wife could become pregnant. When it was explained to him what was necessary, he reacted with disgust and asked “How could one feel desire to be with a woman, who God has made unclean, when one could be with a man, who is clean? Surely this must be wrong.

The dialogue sounds fishy and constructed to me. Local "gentlemen" surely know the procedure to "get pregnant" and have managed to procreate just as good as anywhere else in the world in the last 30 centuries without asking western medics...
I added it as an edit, but I'll comment here too:

In context of recent events this is just a poorly and honestly unfunny joke. But the point isn't whether it was a joke though, the point is that universities have a long history of being the centre of vicious and deplorable acts of violence, mass violence. In the context of the university environment, I can see how jokes like this are unsettling and reminiscent of real social media posts that often precede real attacks that maim or kill real people. The authors insensitivity to this is what I find shortsighted.
Well I'd simply submit that, after spending time there, I'm tired of the mental gymnastics required for the culturally relativistic perspective espoused in your comment. So, you're simply wrong.

While I think that the question what to do with the acceptance of cultures that don't accept our core values is valid. And will become more and more potent with the immigrant waves flooding Europe, you are being somewhat more inflammatory than necessary.

There are things we should not accept - end of story. Nonconsensual sex and cult brainwashing are some of them.

Your very conception of "individual rights" (and what they should be) is cultural itself.

(Not to mention abused all the time to support hypocritical interests).
How about the mental gymnastics of "we invade them for their own good"?
Can today's Thinkpads still hang with the best of them? (typed on a recently-upgraded late 2006 MBP)
same here, I really have to jump between, c/c++, c++ CLI, c#, javascript, vb.net, vb, SQL (which is not exactly the same on MySQL, MS SQL, MS SQL Azure), python, jade, powershell. it is impossible for my little brain as I know it so far to remember every syntax; I stay focus on the algorithm (to be efficient, O(n), O(nlogn)), on the problem to solve, on code simplicity and maintainability and just go quickly to language syntax documentation as often as I need it. google makes things much easier, there were times when google was faster in finding msdn doc pages then msdn search itself :))))

> Seriously, I'm quite surprised that basic URL handling is still a problem. Making a game to bring this to the attention of a wider audience is certainly a good idea.

I think the problem is that a spec exists, but existing browser incorrectly implemented it (hello Netscape), and given their prevalence browsers are stuck with weird hacks so that existing websites continue to work.

In particular around percent escapes there's lots of trouble. Nothing really specs the encoding to be used for those percent escapes (the RFC only has some odd notes on encodings), and there's a whole bunch of odd behaviours, e.g. how characters are handled when pasting a URL into an address bar vs having it as an href on a web page.
That kind of thing (expulsions and accusations over harmless jokes) makes me feel unsafe about participating in public events, especially if they have a "code of conduct".
The “soldered to the motherboard” memory on a $400 computer today costs 10,000 times less than the same quantity of memory in 1995.

What’s the point of making something repairable generations down the line when nobody is going to still want it because you’ll be able to buy 10 new ones that are each 100 times better for the same price.

The only computer parts from <2000 that are still worth keeping around today are the keyboards, and maybe the laser printers.

Rape violates several of those rights.. while eating pork violates none of those rights.

So there is a line that was already drawn years ago.. and rape is clearly on the other side of it.

Well then we're all Bob Howard from the Laundry. The unassuming backroom guy who knows his way around a computer yet surprisingly can hold it together when confronted with gibbering Lovecraftian monsters from beyond the void.

It doesn't.

So very few of those auto-installed apps ever see any use. iTunes (or "Apple Music", or whatever it's called now) might be the only exception.
Unfortunately they did. It's buried in the Sanctioning Agreement, but by accepting MLH sanctioning (which is done via a legally binding contract) you allow MLH authority over who attends the event. They don't advertise this fact very much.
How can you say this when you very well know, eating pork means killing innocent animals, keeping them locked down, in the same way these people are holding small children locked down and abusing them.

Eating pork is as much abuse as is abusing little children, or even more, as the animal is brutally killed, a thinking, living being. You cannot just put animal rights aside like that, this is probably along the lines people who abuse children are thinking, that it is their right to abuse children, like the western world thinks "It is our right to kill, slaughter and eat animals".

Maybe if we wouldn't think that we can just raise, kill and eat other living, conscious, thinking, feeling beings, just like we are, all the time, then we would have less abuse of ourselves too?

Compassion goes a long way. If we cannot have compassion to other living beings inhabiting this planet, how can we have compassion to other people inhabiting this planet. Can you see the analogy ?

And if you're making the comparison to intelligence as being the factor that limits what we should eat and kill, then I can remind that it has been studied that pigs are as intelligent or even more intelligent than dogs even. Now, what do you think such intelligent beings are thinking when they are being held captive and tortured in their poor living conditions, just to be force fed, force breeded and then violently killed just to fill our bellies ?
I think they also have to prove that these sites actually had their information and did provide it. Otherwise they're just assuming that their information was accessible because their information was part of the dump.

Likely though, since there are three claimants and three sites, I'd wager they all incidentally discovered their details (or maybe were made aware by an unhappy spouse) and that's how they know their details are actually accessible.
How to Cheat in Computer Science 101
For a while I ran a Markov chain blog poster that drew on my own notes and posts on a site I ran for a while. A phrase in one of those posts ("Only a matter of seeing simple data structures and designing lightweight tools that can cross the galaxy") actually led to a chain of association that has spawned a five-year research thread. This technique can actually work.

I hate to use science fiction as an argument, but basically every sci-fi movie with time travel as a plot has no problem coming up with some way of using knowledge about the future to (at a minimum) massive profit.

> Edit: To clarify why I find it is distasteful — In context of recent events this is just a poorly and honestly unfunny joke. But out of context, in the way in which many may read it, it is strikingly more concerning. The point isn't whether it was a joke though, the point is that universities have a long history in the US of being the centre of vicious and deplorable acts of violence, mass violence. In the context of the university environment, I can see how jokes like this are unsettling and reminiscent of real social media posts that often proceed real attacks that maim or kill real people. The authors insensitivity to is shortsighted.

This is ... peculiar. Of the total number of off-colour jokes told by people at college campuses, what percentage are followed immediately by shooting sprees? How many decimal points do you need? This is not a usable or workable early warning system. If you genuinely think your hackathon is at risk of a Virginia Tech situation, get a metal detector. Mass murderers are unlikely to check the code of conduct before opening fire.

But then your concern doesn't seem to be that people could actually get shot to pieces, simply that somebody could have been unsettled by a pun. This is a level of inconvenience that nobody has any right to be protected from.

It is utterly unreasonable to expect people to avoid in advance every possible 'trauma trigger', since by definition that's (for practical purposes) an infinite quantity. In reality, the only code of conduct that can reliably avoid all such awkward social situations is the Trappist code of silence. So it would be better all round if people were expected to deal with these things like adults, and instead of looking over Facebook comments with the intention of linking them to terrorist atrocities, campus shooting, or any other terrible thing that it could mean to somebody somewhere, read them as charitably as possible. If you're reading something out of context, find out the context before declaring it 'distasteful', since taste is 100% context.

The take away here should be: codes of conduct of the nature that caught out the OP are necessarily non-transparent (who accused him?), and thus necessarily arbitrarily enforced, and thus necessarily unjust (since justice must be seen to be done).

Spark: A tiny Sinatra inspired framework for creating web applications in Java 8
I think it’s a pretty funny joke, albeit an obvious one that has been made hundreds of times in the last week, so maybe a bit tired at this point.

It’s 100% obviously a joke, and not a bomb threat, and it obviously has nothing to do with mass violence. Anyone who is unsettled hasn’t been paying attention to the news the last week and/or isn’t thinking very hard.

The unsettling part is the 14-year-old kid getting arrested for bringing a homemade clock to school, not some college students making jokes about it on the internet.

To state it more pointedly, the people who are “unsettled” by a joke like this enough to kick these guys out of their hackathon are the same kind of unthinking authoritarian assholes as the folks who had the high-school clockmaker arrested.
I think "detected as false positives" is too mildly put. It implies that it's an honest if bumbling mistake, rather than deliberate and malicious FUD.
Wordpress started out as a blogging platform. Who knows what Medium will be in ten years.
This is disappointing. It's a move against the open Internet than Wired helped to popularize (I previously worked at Wired). It also is a slap in the face to Android and other non-iOS users.

Why would a publisher opt out of having their feeds visible to any particular platform? The whole point of making an RSS feed available is so that it's *available" to any client that can read it.

As much as I don't like what Wired and Apple are doing in terms of using the web to promote native exclusivity, RSS should be open to all by default.

As for robots.txt in web pages, I agree that Apple News should be respecting those.

There are very few people who don't like the way everything use to go. They find shortcoming in some of these very complex things and find ways to improve them. But then naysayers try to discourage them by giving some facts and figure. But these people, with their indomitable will, don't stop and find a way of their own. This story of Kolko and her DripAssist device is one hell of an inspiring story. Her company has potential to revolutionize the medical device industry.

With all the knowledge we have of what's possible and empirical data, your assumption is wrong. Finding time travellers on the internet would be much more likely (even if still very unlikely) than finding "dragons living in the earth's core".

Get Your Resume Noticed
The larger issue is this, the AdBlockers block 'independent ads, served via third party services via web' Ad blockers won't block Google Ads via Android or iOS ads in their new "news" apps. Nor it will block Facebook ads, YouTube Ads or some in-app marketing.

So, what I think is missing in the discussion that, perhaps by flaw or mistake, but the original sin of the web (ads) is now the currency for many websites, apps, etc... and it maintains the small, medium and large publishers and companies.

Ad blocking as-now targets the independent web more than anything. It will force Advertisers to give to Google/Facebook/Apple more and basically just suck the revenues of an industry into the hands of a handful of platform. Content has already been centralized by force, now they want the ads as well.

People who say, 'if your content requires ads then its not worth it, or you are in the wrong side of history, blah, blah, blah' fail to recognize how ad monetization happens on web/apps - yes it gets annoying, but it works. Independent sites (arts, news, etc...) like a favorite of mine ArsTechnica, depend on Ad revenue.

Apple releasing Ad Blockers the same day their News app becomes permanent and with Ads that cannot be blocked its not a coincidence. And that is quite a strategic move aimed to move more ad revenue into fewer companies. I don't know if that's the right side of history then. I hope not.

However, it's all in the defaults - 90% of online users (and I cant imagine app users are any higher) never touch the defaults. Sure, a number of 20MM may have downloaded adblockers online, but it is still small. But once the option is there, one day, the iPhone7 might default to 'ad block yes' and obliterate a mobile ad industry. No one likes to defend marketers, but moving us to a system controlled by a few platforms is a bad idea. Say, a presidential election could be influenced by a company deciding it won't allow ads of candidate Y or Z etc... or Donation campaigns won't be able to afford a market price of higher ad prices.

This is a bad idea folks.
