If done properly, immensely.

Sites can log invalid password attempts, and unscrupulous sites could include attempted usernames and passwords. That basically gives them a dictionary of accounts to try, because let's face it, most people use the same password for multiple services. Sometimes people's muscle memory kicks in and they accidentally type their password into the wrong site, or the wrong field.

With Google's 2FA, you need access to either a pre-printed list of emergency codes, or the ability to see the person's incoming texts. That's where the "if done properly" caveat comes in. Google Voice is generally a bad idea. If someone accidentally gets into your email because you left it open, they also have access to your incoming texts.

That'd be great if they could. We started using Arista 5 or 6 years ago at a small startup I was working for because Arista was the only vendor we could find who was comfortable giving us such an amazing amount of access to the inner workings of their high speed switches. Really enjoyed working with their gear and, when the occasional question came up, their engineers (top notch folks).

cal [-j] [-m month] [year]
ncal [-Jjpwy] [-s country_code] [[month] year]

cal 16 unambiguously refers to 16 a.d. Don't forget that we include an apostrophe before a shortened year.
On most Linux distributions, Firefox is built from source and then shipped via a package manager. At least on Arch, --disable-eme is not passed as a configure flag. Yes, one could build Firefox oneself, but it is a beast to compile. It is also ridiculous that this needs to be done at build time.

A perhaps easier approach that should work based on the name (but have not confirmed) is to lock via the user.js method user_pref/lockPref("media.eme.enabled", false). If this works as intended, then simply make this config file part of the deployment should be enough.
Good timing. This is what good marketing and agility looks like.

I've been impressed by GitLab. They moved very fast and made good progress recently. It is great to see competition, to what many (at least in start up land) considered a done deal in terms of a winner as far as hosted code is concerned. Remember someone was telling me "if your code is not on GitHub, it doesn't exist".

But then remember getting a sticker shock when we got a quote for GitHub Enterprise a few years back. Ended up picking Atlassian instead, besides the price it was the better ticket workflow, or maybe it was the wiki, I forgot. Anyway, I would have liked to have more choices at that point to look at. Now GitLab is a choice as well.

Let me go against the grain here and say: there's nothing wrong with this idea! Sounds like a fun way for several startups to get visibility (more power to them), Justin to broaden YC's visibility, and to encourage a few startups to be visually creative in a way that they wouldn't be able to on a normal application. YC doesn't have a quota for its current programs, so it's not zero-sum.

There are tons of mature adults that use Snapchat for normal communication with friends.

And the "lack of transparency" criticism is just looking for anything to criticize YC for. If anything, there's more transparency than the normal YC process because the runners-up are publicly known and exposed to community comments.
Furthermore, there are a series of community patches that improve the game in a number of ways, such as making it properly work in windowed mode in Windows, and give you smooth zoom:

Browsers behave the same (though they've acquired additional nuance since the HTTP 1.0 and pre days) as they always have, generally speaking. IE had a cache control bug for many years that made it impossible to force a reload in some circumstances, but was fixed in IE 6.

The change is on the server side, not the browser. Modern single page applications do all kinds of janky things, and a lot of them break caching, either explicitly (with cache-control headers) or accidentally (with uncacheable URLs).

As far as I know, every major browser has standards compliant cache-control implementations, and all have some way to force a full reload.

I'm excited to see that Alex Warth is involved with this. In my late undergrad days, I was really excited by his OMeta language.

Eh. Cities issue parking violations all the time when they shouldn't (partially because the rules can be confusing). And, at the same time, many, many people get off with parking violations because they weren't caught. It's hard for me to get excited about a specific group of non-violations because they happened to occur in high incidence spots as uncovered by an examination of public data.

I'm not opposed to the city making a modest effort to refund money to this subset of individuals. Though if it does so I expect it will be purely because they see it as a good PR play.

YC is building a research facility similar to Xerox PARC. No specific goals, but I'd assume researchers would be looking at projects 10-20 years out. There are a lot of similarities with this and PARC, they have Alan Kay (former PARC), and even the name HARC is clearly inspired by PARC.
Vivaldi also shares a design lineage with Opera 12 and previous, in terms of who the designers are/were. When we lost Opera, I think we lost the open web in a lot of ways.

Still, the loss of a Community Firefox is a bad thing.

I agree with you that we are unlikely to see any of these things because having looked at the science it is as close to certain as we can be with any observation theory that AGW is true.

There are a large number of geese that hang out and nest in The Fens[1] in Boston.

Normally they nest in the reeds close to the water, more or less out of the way of human foot traffic. A couple of years ago, I saw a pair of geese who made their nest in a small island of grass between two side-walks and a street near Northeastern University. While much more public, this nest had the advantage of humans leaving bowls of clean water (and maybe food) for the geese nesting there.

According to wikipedia, cal was in First Edition Unix, back in 1971. You can assume it's been used in scripts and it would be hard to change default behavior now, or any time in the last 30 years for that matter.

I've used it myself in scripts to find Julian day numbers, to count days-within-months, etc. -- for old science data -- before there were more robust ways to do this stuff.

It's hard to insert DWIM behaviors into old command-line utilities, because "what I mean" is not clear.
> The EFF greatly overestimates the amount of influence browser makers have.

The only reason the MAFIAA is lobbying the W3C and bribing Microsoft / Google / et al to support their backwards DRM is because the web has leverage over them.

There would have been no market for this if there was not publisher demand for baked-in proprietary DRM at the browser level, because they knew they were constantly losing revenue depending on broken flash / silverlight plugins.

If these companies had not caved to their demands, they would have had to accept gradual obsolescence since the web would have been wholly incompatible with their outdated business model. Because, up until this point, the web has been demonstrably more important to people than access to traditional big media IP, because they were losing revenue and market share.
Most of them simply don't have chicken at all. There are roughly 800 million people who don't have adequate access to food.

"I currently do not have a Gmail account associated with my Google account"

Given that; I'm not sure any Gmail search settings or filters apply in this situation.
They can't call out at all? I have doubts, but would accept a source.
Exactly. What I have found is that when I examine deeply enough, most DRM content is not even worth it, and even for purely entertainment purposes, there exist plenty of non DRM solutions: movie theaters, libraries, outdoor activities to name just a few. I found Michael Niedermayer's quote very nice in this regard:
"Breaking DRM is a little like attempting to break through a door even though the window is wide open and the only thing in the house is a bunch of things you dont want and which you would get tomorrow for free anyway"
(https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2016-January/18824...).

And if you really don't even want to accidentally support or open such DRM content, you can configure the browser appropriately (media.eme.enabled and --disable-eme in Firefox).
>no mathematical function has been found to fit the observed data. Fact! Conclusion: the situation is much more complex than we currently understand and does not support the horribly destructive policies which are very much in the interests of a clique of politicians and folk with dependent jobs.

I don’t understand this thinking. The fact that we don’t have a good predictive model is extremely worrying. We may hit a non-linearity or positive feedback loop that increase the average temperature by 10C in a very short time (this is unlikely, but we can’t rule it out). The whole thing is like jumping off a cliff into the ocean when you have no idea what is under the surface.

A good question; I'm not sure UTF-8 is always used because systems we tested were all using UTF-8 system encoding.

This question was not relevant for Scrapy because it makes sense to use UTF-8 as default regardless of what browsers do when page encoding is unknown; unlike encoding of URLs extracted from HTML this UTF-8 default doesn't lead to incompatible behavior.

Re pulling the stick all the way back: Yes, that sounds weird, but that's what the manual says. [1], "A330/A340 FLIGHT CREW TRAINING MANUAL OPERATIONAL PHILOSOPHY -- FLIGHT CONTROLS" p. 15.

"High AOA protection is an aerodynamic protection: The PF will notice if the normal flight envelope is exceeded for any reason, because the autopitch trim will stop, the aircraft will sink to maintain its current AOA (alpha PROT, strong static stability), and a significant change in aircraft behavior will occur.

If the PF then pulls the sidestick full aft, a maximum AOA (approximately corresponding to CL Max) is commanded. ...

If the angle-of-attack still increases and reaches ALPHA Floor threshold, the A/THR triggers TOGA thrust and engages (unless in some cases of one engine-out)."

What this says is that, in normal law, pulling the stick all the way back will give you the maximum pitch currently allowed, and if the pitch is higher than that, the engines go to full power automatically. That's a stall recovery.

But AF447 didn't have good sensor data for airspeed. That disabled this automatic recovery capability. (There are alarms and displays when this happens.) With the control system unable to assist the pilot, pulling the stick all the way back was totally wrong. Also, the AF447 pilots thought they were in an overspeed condition, while in fact they were stalled.

(I'm not a pilot; I used to work for an aerospace company.)

It is only inevitable insofar as the old open web was incompatible with proprietary DRM. The real ethical answer would have been for the W3C and browser ecosystem to ignore the MAFIAA and let them flounder without baked in user freedom destroying DRM.

They would have to start shipping their own proprietary apps to support their DRM, which is how things should have been. Browers could have gotten rid of plugins without DRM by forcing the old publishers to not be able to operate exclusively through web sites.
A lot of effort has been put into trying to rule out AGW. The problem is everyone who has tried seriously has failed to do so. If any of the things I listed were found to be true then the AGW theory would be false.
