Survey: Amazon is burying the competition in search
Can anyone who runs a high trafficked site and isn't on the HSTS preload list explain why not? I am genuinely interested.
Here's one by Lecun:

Don't hold things in TX / do not support things in TX. I know I get flames for that everytime, but the state of TX holds / enforces some horrible views.
Great.

The assumption that the only chance to appeal to consumers for winter holiday shopping is the day immediately following Thanksgiving (..sales have been pushed back so far they actualy take place on Thanksgiving now), is more and more trivial. I buy products throughout the entire year, and knowing a company makes any effort to take care of their employees is a huge plus which I'll gladly remember come next summer when I go to try out new gear in their store.

As long as a company makes efforts like this I'll continue to go out of my way to buy from their stores rather than competitors who want to squeeze humanity out of their company for perceived business opportunities.
"put on airs" - what exactly does that mean?

These airs, where would one obtain them?
And on what would one put these airs? on what?
I know what I would pay for:

- More AMA (and not just with the famous people; I loved the "I'm a Joe Random Starbucks employee, AMA" threads before AMAs went mainstream).

- More ELI5.

- Supporting HN and (parts of) Reddit so that every article is analyzed and dissected by people in the know, who point out all the bullshit the news station put in, and point towards relevant resources.

Oh, and at this point in my life I'm willing to pay quite a bit for a news service that can prove to me they a) don't blatantly lie, and b) have some minimum competence on-board to cover the topics they're writing about. An information source that I could trust to incorporate to my daily decision-making process is something worth paying money for.
L1B would be a better example :-)
Haha. But really, it's hard for that group to claim to be the silent, persecuted majority when nearly every major figure in the industry who has spoken about it and nearly every news outlet that has covered it has completely condemned it. The "movement" has even been placeholder villains on Law and Order SVU, and if that isn't the gold standard for general cultural sentiment, I don't know what is.
I'm using HTTPS Everyhwere, and it couldn't get a single website correct.
While I applaud the principle of the quote, the overall philosophy always remind me of Office Space:

Peter Gibbons: Our high school guidance counselor used to ask us what you'd do if you had a million dollars and you didn't have to work. And invariably what you'd say was supposed to be your career. So, if you wanted to fix old cars then you're supposed to be an auto mechanic.

Samir: So what did you say?

Peter Gibbons: I never had an answer. I guess that's why I'm working at Initech.

Michael Bolton: No, you're working at Initech because that question is bullshit to begin with. If everyone listened to her, there'd be no janitors, because no one would clean shit up if they had a million dollars.
I was going to downvote you for just copy and pasting then I realized you were right. The other side could easily misconstrue things and paint my side that way.

I'm not convinced about the reverse, but that may be because I'm on my side. People can go pretty far to rationalize things.

Coprispalle Sposa – Acquista coprispalla sposa online
Former NYT journalist here. I'm really glad the paper is experimenting like this.

I want to make a slightly bolder statement than the headline of the post:

The future of news is not written, and it's not one way. It's conversational and spoken.

We've been migrating away from the printed word at least since the advent of radio, and TV only accelerated that trend.

What people want is the interaction and surprise and meaning created in a conversation. Papers like the NYT aspire to "drive the conversation." But they are not engaged in "the conversation" on an individual level. They are largely confined to the one-to-many schema of the old news flow, where publications speak and readers listen.

The future of news, imho, is chatbots personalized to the user, that bring up the daily news like small talk on a long commute, based on the AI's knowledge of the news consumer. And it'll have through a voice UX just as much as through print.
I know nothing about the subject, but I've seen this twitter account before and instantly assumed it was parody. Is it a character being portrayed or a real person because I still can't tell.
So what does it mean if now UA vendors have 1 million hosts added to HSTS pre-load list? Are they all created equal? Do they share the same preload list? Is there a single form to submit to all UA vendors? What if you have internal hosts that you still want the same mitigation in place? What is UA vendors' SLA on updating preload list? Preload suffers the same problem as pinning, correct me if I am wrong.
Yes, HTTPS Everywhere blocks this particular attack, hence why the top bar says to disable it.

(Incidentally, the author of this attack is also one of the authors of HTTPS Everywhere.)

It is not a complicated situation, from the start its been clear that gamergate is solely a vehicle for organised harassment (primarily of women). There isnt any moral quandry or naunced position about it, its just harassment.
> I seriously doubt

> the hate mob

I've looked for evidence for which "side" did the harassment. SXSW didn't make specific who was part of the "hate mob". That's why I guessed it was both sides.

> On the other hand I can easily see the pro-GGers

On the other hand, you sound biased (as far as text can provide "sound"), without any specific data to back it up. If you know something I don't, I'd be glad to hear it.

EDIT: I'm not picking a side here, and I'd be willing to defend either in a debate. I really hope I don't sound condescending, and apologize if I do.

I love dinosaurs and prehistoric beasts, but that's pretty much the way I feel about paleontology. All too often you'll read some science-y piece about some fantastic new insight- a new species, animal X did Y with regards to raising its young, etc. Then you go through a couple of layers of redirects to see the actual information, and find that the new species is classified on the basis of a partial skeleton, or just a handful of bones, or some incredibly fragmentary DNA extracted and compared from two poorly preserved specimens.

10000 years from now, our descendants will be digging through our garbage dumps and trying to find significance from the substantial deposits of shiny metallic plastic jewelry etched with the obscure glyphs "AOL" on one side.
> Advocacy organizations are not journalists. They don't need to cite their sourcing before making claims they believe are true. The purpose of calling out Facebook is an attempt force them to align their public and private positions if they differ.

So in other words, as long as they are "advocacy organizations" and say that they believe in some view, they get a free pass to lie, spread bullshit and FUD? I thought we should have a higher standard.

Personally, I am for severely punishing liars as a top priority, no matter what side they're on. Then we may get a constructive discussion.
CSP, HSTS, and HPKP were all known to be exploitable for "supercookie" purposes, but not history sniffing like this.

That's kind of the unfortunate thing. Any valid point they have is basically erased by the actions of a few that they (on the whole) refuse to condem and distance themselves from. I'm sure there are tons of people in the 'movement' who don't want any part of the death threats, but their arguments are tainted by association.

One side seems to want to simply be, a (hopefully) tiny number on the other side want their lives ruined; and a bunch of other people are caught up with them (based on beliefs, right or wrong, strong or weak) as 'silent majority' justifications and cover for bad actions.
Yes. If you're using a browser version that's been updated past 2010-2011, this will no longer work.
I use this service and I like it. Many blog posts and engineering discussions tend to treat tools in isolation -- you're learning about Redis or Rails or Ember only. Being able to meet other engineers who use the same _combination_ of tools can help you learn about higher level design patterns and the interactions between the tools.
Yeah, but this is just the classic Diamond-Water Paradox in Economics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_value). Value isn't assigned based on essentiality, it's based on the intersection of supply and demand.

>If the holders of wealth that seed the economy figure out that it's better for them to hold on to their assets rather than invest them, then people lose jobs.

That's the theory, but I'm skeptical. If the economy is healthy they'll have investment opportunities that compensate adequately for risk and they'll still invest.

Conversely, in an inflationary environment people with savings may invest their money, but they may also buy fixed assets like gold or real estate. That doesn't help the economy very much.

>Deflation also penalizes debt holders.

And inflation hurts savers. I don't see a benefit to prioritizing the interests of debtors over savers.

I'm a card-carrying proud REI member, I support not only this but almost everything they stand for, and often times find myself happily paying more to shop there because I love the brand so much.

But... This is a fantastic PR play, which strategically could help earnings overall. Not saying a good PR play can't be mutually beneficial for employees and the company, but if they weren't trying to get attention for it, they could have just sent out a boring memo company-wide instead of setting up a big campaign (I still think a memo would get attention, but that's besides the point).

This isn't me being cynical, I think REI does some fantastic things as a company and for the greater good of preserving the outdoors as well as encouraging people to explore, but it could certainly be a brilliant part of their marketing strategy to grow business and customer loyalty.

Black Swan is still his best in my mind, but the Bed of Procrustes can be a nice entree; aphorisms were the original tweets, and can be consumed as such.

Meh, I should probably clarify that I'm not an expert and I'm just regurgitating an explanation given to me by a (Japanese) econ professor a few years ago. I don't know how to answer your question.
That sounds really frustrating. Any examples you can give would really help to debug.
Back in the day, IE4 supported both javascript and vbscript. And from memory if you installed other eg ActivePerl (and ActivePython too I think), you could use them as well.
No. Leaks were known far beyond the "supercookie", but attacks were not as high quality as these.

What you're missing is people with first access to new money are the ones who benefit the most in an inflationary environment. In a fractional reserve system that's the banks. Banks generally benefit from higher inflation up until the point where it's high enough to damage the economy.

It should come as no surprise that banks spend so much to influence public opinion and the political process.

> nerfhammer probably meant a nominal return of 5%, which when combined with 5% deflation is 0.

What nerfhammer meant was that a 5% deflation is EQUIVALENT to a 5% nominal rate of return in a 0% inflation market.

In other words, during deflation, sitting on cash makes the cash more valuable. Deflation is a dis-incentive to invest, share money, start projects, or seek profits.
The Gamergate/Anti-Gamergate movement has to be a Sociology PhD Candidate's thesis topic. It's fascinating how utterly polarizing it is, I mean just look at the sort of comments we're seeing right here on HN, and we tend to be the levelheaded and civil ones!

Both "sides" are victims of their own success. In spite of whatever potentially valid points they have, the moment someone figures out which "side" you are on you are immediately lumped into one group or the other and considered completely guilty by association. And the folks that do that are so absolutely certain of how "vile" or "evil" you are, as certainly as if you'd come out as a Nazi or somesuch.

But if you could somehow make your argument without getting either label attached, someone might actually want to listen to you as though you were a rational human being.
There's a lot of pressure to turn the includeSubdomains flag on, with the new Google Submission Process (submit a form to hstspreload.appspot.com).

It's not really voluntary if it's that or you and your family going hungry, without heat in winter, or even home. It's still slavery, but you are "free" to chose your master, and some of us are lucky to be bound by comfortable chains of gold and velvet called "software industry".

(In a way, it's recursive slavery - masters are often bound to someone else.)
Having disabled NoScript, Privacy Badger, HTTPS Everywhere, and AdBlock Pro, it can tell I've been to npmjs.com. I'm not immediately worried.

Maybe too obvious to point out, but as far as I can tell, it looks for entries in the browser cache, rather than looking at the history per-se. If you have the browser cache empty when you close the browser (gotta watch those evercookies!), that's also not an issue.
ok, hold on. Could these 1960s era missiles really be retargeted like this? I always assumed that they were programmed for a single target and changing the target was a big deal.
You may be right, but by making a polarized response to a comment claiming its a complicated issue with polarized sides... Its hard to take away much.
Revelations that the Government spies on it's own citizens without oversight and probably while violating the 4th amendment doesn't have to do with domestic policy? I'm fairly positive that the argument "¯\_(ツ)_/¯ everyone does it" is WHOLLY INSUFFICIENT.

if you go to court for a speeding ticket, you know what happens when you claim "everyone was doing it"? You'll get laughed at by the judge.

Secondly, if you actually read the documents (and your comments seem to suggest you haven't), a great deal has to do with operations within US borders. Sounds an awful lot like "domestic" policy.

The ONLY reason they have hurt the US is because the US is acting immorally (that is, without morals) when it comes to both domestic & foreign intelligence.

There's a super simple way not to get hurt by leaks like this: STOP doing STUPID/ILLEGAL/IMMORAL shit.

There's a saying:

"You don't have to keep track of anything if you always tell the truth".

I can't remember who said it, but it's absolutely true.

Don't misunderstand me, I get the importance of intelligence work, but there's a right way and wrong way to do things, and for a long time now the NSA has been doing it wrong.
Not saying it's not ok, but the downvotes here I think symbolize the double-standard we seem to have when it comes to thriftiness.

Businesses are rewarded with praise when they're thrifty, firing employees in exchange for automation.

Consumers, on the other hand, are the devil incarnate when they decide to be thrifty.

Maybe there's a bit of hyperbole in that last statement, but hopefully you get the point.

Not saying it's not ok for them to change it. But I am saying that if it was truly a sustainable model they wouldn't have a need to change it.
Thanks for the interesting perspective. While I can see myself enjoying chatterbots telling me news in a casual way, I still wonder - with such focus on "surprise and meaning", where do facts enter the picture? Are we migrating away from factual information towards personalized, opinionated content?

Are you seriously trying to throw IE6 into this to attempt to prove your point? We aren't talking about antiquated browsers no one should be using today.
Preload does not suffer the same issue as pinning using a header. All sites on the list would just look like you probably visited them, which means ambiguity.

Introducing Collections for Faqt
As I said, it's clear I'm anti-GG. Biased is defined as 'unfairly prejudiced' against someone. After watching people driven out of their homes and numerous death threats and doxxings I don't think my view of GG is 'unfairly prejudiced'.

SXSW hasn't said who is at fault and I imagine plenty of anti-GG people were... 'less than cordial'... about their thoughts.

But since one side of this 'debate' is know for issuing death threats I'm willing to make a firm guess on who is at fault.

> I'm not picking a side here, and I'd be willing to defend either in a debate.

At a certain point, when there is enough evidence, 'neutrality' in the face of a hate group isn't neutral.

Perhaps you don't know anything about GG and this is (more or less) the first you've heard of it. Because I know of it I tend to assume others in tech know of it (it's made the national news after all, multiple times).

So when I continue to see people couching things as a 'debate' and 'being neutral' to me it looks a lot like the people still 'asking' for 'debate' on the 'possibility' of climate change (or the dangers of vaccination, or the possibility of fake moon landings). They say that but clearly they've picked a side.

>If you want our data, get a judge to order a search warrant. Otherwise it is Unconstitutional.

This is my position and nothing will move me from it because it is the principled position. Moreover, the advocates of mass surveillance fail to realize that even if their motives are as pure as the driven snow nevertheless a mass surveillance system will attract sociopaths and psychopaths who survive by preying on other human beings instead of creating value and trade. This is exactly why we have a Constitution to limit the powers of government.
Exactly, how many times do you want to use a component but find it near impossible because it's written with a framework, or uses CSS styles that conflict with your own, or is written for use with a different version of the very framework you're using... this is why we keep re-inventing the same dumb web components over and over again.
