respectively enable/disable the sending of Referer and From
information.
That wasn't your argument at all. I know and constantly affirmed that many people do and have removed upper bounds, and that I myself oppose it. Your 'argument' is the absurd falsification that this practice was introduced to sell BSD3 software that appeared 3 years after the practice was introduced, by a company that appeared over a year after the practice was introduced. What you are doing is unconscionable and destructive.

Referrer hiding is important to Google itself: https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/10/making-search-more-s...
Previously, some (generally scammy) websites used these keywords forwarded from Google to actually change the content.

By concealing the keywords people were searching for to land on your website, they force content hosters and ad networks to depend on the Google analytics + ads ecosystem. With these keywords, you could gather information about your Google rank for queries.

Whether it's net beneficial for you as a browser owner to pass referrer information - probably it is if you like the people hosting the content you read, as it helps them understand their traffic and improve their service. If you don't like them (probably because they are spam) then this just helps them be more effective spammers.

They represent the sequence as a bag of n-grams, and feed that into the classifier, rather than feeding the sequence directly. The paper basically combines variants on a few old techniques (although a few of the variants are significant and recent), but the interesting result is that they show that put together in the right way and tweaked a little, they're competitive in accuracy with state-of-the-art deep neural network models, at least on some problems, while being much faster to train. Section 2 of the paper, although pretty brief, is where this info is.
The brain is amazing in that if you for example, feed it images that have been flipped by some inversion glasses, it will learn to either do the proper correcting transformation or compensate for the distortions further up, on its own.

Check out neural prosthesis to see how clusters of neurons in the brain are at just excellent at learning whatever signals you throw at them on the fly.
The concerns you're talking about here were primarily deficiencies in tooling, not an inherent problem with the PVP. Many of those deficiencies have been fixed (for example, --allow-newer) or there is work in progress that will fix them (cabal new-build, cabal.project files, etc).
If the code is duplicated then there's some abstraction, otherwise the code wouldn't be duplicated. If abstraction is wrong, just refactor the code, inline old functions, extract new abstraction.
Composability: From Callbacks to Categories in ES6
A wildcard is a bad idea here since one compromised host would have a certificate that works on all other hosts. A better solution would be a sub CA that's restricted to issuing certificates for that domain only, but name constraints is an extension that some (obsolete) clients might not handle correctly.

There are a whole bunch of skills that go into being good at delivering working software. One such skill is remembering details of how lots of things work, and especially knowing when seemingly simple things will hit hidden stumbling blocks.

Obviously, there are a bunch of other skills required too, and some skills get a lot more respect than others.

One reading of the story is that Bill Gates, despite being six layers of management away from 'the coal face' of actually making the date functions work, knew about the 1904 Date System and why it was there; and that he was able to ask harder and harder questions until the project manager looked unprepared because he had a lot of the specific skill of remembering lots of details and stumbling blocks.

Obviously, an alternative reading of the story is that Gates didn't know those specifics about date handling in Lotus 123, and he was going to ask about something else (or maybe nothing at all) and it was only by random chance that made it look like he knew about this complicated detail.
The solution is to register your own domain.
> I could use a paid provider, but they are probably still more likely to disappear in the future than google is likely to randomly ban me.

That was my main reason to still use Gmail till today.

From now I'll be making regular backups, and always use an email address on my own domain, so I can freely change provider without much problems.
Why Networks Need ASICs
One of the things a lot of these transport methods seem to ignore is traveling with kids. Cars really are the easiest way to date to travel with small-ish children. It's really nice to be able to stash baby stuff in the trunk and know you always have it with you just in case without carrying it everywhere. (Bottles, diapers, change of clothes, etc). Single person cars, moving walkways and especially jet packs (!) Are particularly difficult / impossible with kids, same with Segways, etc.
It's 10 minutes away from Rancho San Antonio, 30 from the parks along Skyline, and an hour from Pacific Ocean beaches. You can get to a half-day hike with 1000 feet of vertical elevation change with under an hour of total driving time. And the weather is good enough for this 11 months out of the year.

I used to live in New England. There were definitely parts I liked - I really miss the seasons, and I grew up 15 minutes away from the birthplace of the American Revolution, and there are some charming walks in the woods. But there are very few places that give you the combination of beaches, marsh flats, mountains, redwoods, urban attractions, and the weather to enjoy it all that the Bay Area has within an hour drive.
Imposter's Handbook
That's a common sentiment, but woefully exaggerated: it's not like the Bay Area is only tech. I mean, it's not New York, but neither is anywhere else in the country. The Bay Area has all the art and culture and music you'd expect of a cosmopolitan city, it has the same generic business/sales/finance/law professionals, it has two of the best universities in the country. It has everything you'd get elsewhere and tech.

It's a perfectly diverse metropolitan area with tech as an addition, not as a replacement. That's strictly more than many other cities I've spent time in from Ottawa to Charlotte. Calling it a monoculture is simply not accurate or, if it is, so many cities don't have even that.
And this error is ironically an illustration of the exact problem he was commenting on: our brains tend to work by association, and implication (A implies B) tends to be interpreted as association (A implies B means A and B are associated, which means they go together, so A implies B is a way to say B implies A).
Not sure on why the downvotes. I love cats, but used to have the problem you describe. Lots of cat feces in the garden from our friendly neighborhood cats.

Nowadays however we have our own cat. So no more cat shit from the neighbors. That helped wonderfully. Our cat loved to go outdoors, but after a while every other day he catched another bird and was nice enough to bring home his catch. So while it's pretty good for him, he lost his outdoor privileges.

That is.. he still gets to go outdoors, but nowadays I walk him. Yip, that's right, I'm the loony tune that walks his cat. Cats are not the easiest to teach to walk on a leash. But he got used to it and loves it. In fact he asks me to walk him several times a day. Unless it rains then he sleeps.

It's not like walking a dog where you tell the dog where to go, but it's more like you're the dog. He tells you where we go (if we go that is, because he likes to sniff around more as walk)

Anyways, just wanted to say that there are other alternatives for cat lovers then having them terrorize the neighbors and catch birds.

This actually varies wildly by brokerage. The massive ones, such as Remax, often don't make their money on real estate commissions, but on ancillary products that are required for the transaction: title insurance, inspections, mortgages, etc, and because of that, offer as much as 95/5 splits with their agents. My dads brokerage, in contrast, provides their agents with a decent number of services for managing escrows and the like, and have a 75/25 split.
You're right about that, I forgot that they were LA based. Still, Olscore lumped them in with Silicon Valley companies so the question still stands.

They're not, I was worried about it being me on the third try and compared them to ones in the store. They were quite different for supposedly the same model.

Additionally I wasn't ordering ones that were too cheap to be real, this was full retail price- if they were significantly cheaper I would've expected fakes.
There's a common attitude that goes something like, "It's the Internet age! What in the world could be stopping X from employing Y who lives in a place Z?!"

Well, I worked at a place where most of the team was remote. It absolutely sucked. I barely knew what the coworkers were doing (sure, my boss had a better idea than I did, but I am certain even he would have preferred to have employees physically around him for routine interaction), what kind of people they were, and the reverse was true with respect to their knowledge of myself. The time zone difference only exacerbated the problem. This "lack of people knowledge" problem at remote workplaces causes everyone to under-invest in building long-term relationships with everyone else (because nobody really knows what everyone else is really like), and the culture nosedives. [1]

Now, clearly, remote employment can be necessary (consulting offers a typical pattern), but the common attitude that there's no reason at all for not just having everyone work remotely is incredibly annoying.

[1] Speaking of culture, remote workplaces offer a clear explanation via counterpoint of the vaunted but often misunderstood term "company culture"---culture is what you don't have when everyone is working remotely.

Well, a note-taking solution (be it a plaintext file or a simple database) can perfectly handle the task of keeping URLs, but I think the point of bookmarking service are social aspects and/or content archival and indexing. Otherwise there's no reason to just not stick to what browsers have built-in for ages.
True. I think a better metric is the last 18-24 months of breakouts, rather than foundings.
We're probably in close agreement then. However I'll disagree with your last statement as that's actually often a standard abstraction and the clearer less error prone way to write an n times loop. I'd rather see

20.timesRepeat(() => doStuff());

than

for(var x = 0; x<20; x++){
doStuff();
}

for and foreach loops are virtually always in need of some cleaner functional abstractions that are already standard parts of virtually every collections library and are far more amenable to chaining. Abstracting loops is not premature abstraction, they're already abstracted in your collections lib.

However like any service when it comes to your business read the TOS and the contract very well.
Basing your business on "free" services is never a good idea, a paid contract usually gives you some sort of protection and better terms than "provided as is".

Anec-data in support of your point; We bought a (US, Florida) house without a realtor. Saw a classified ad in the paper (2004, we still read physical papers), owner had put it on the market, conducted his own open house. We saw it, loved it, offered, he accepted... and his lawyer and our lawyer made sure that all the money and other appropriate paperwork was handled properly. Realtors are a convenience, not a necessity. I probably wouldn't have been comfortable buying my first house without someone to walk me through the process, but we were very happy with the results of our realtor-less purchase. Funny story: our new next-door neighbor was a realtor, and she said he could've gotten another ~$20,000 on the sale price if he'd used a realtor... not noticing that that's about what the realtors in the deal would've taken as their share.
The problem is that law and rules may constrain officials in unexpected ways, leading to "illegal" but maybe not so bad. Officials may have "the root password" so to speak.

In this case, I think it probably would be bad, but its a haul to say that this applies here. "Maintaining access to bond markets" requires less lifting so I'd start looking there.

The current email server controversy highlights this - an appointed cabinet official may actually be subject to slightly different rules than other people. Of course this is perceived as unfair, but it might just be inherent in the system design - I don't actually know. There is emerging in security and safety culture a Fundamentalist "no exceptions" mentality. But formal systems have holes - we know this.

I think it's apparent that we write in C because of network effects and not because it's the best tool for the job. It's great that people like you can handle it, but I'd much rather write in a language that keeps my stupid mistakes from becoming expensive security holes. It allows me to write code faster and to work with other non-perfect programmers.
I spent a summer in Seattle and did more hiking, kayaking, and biking than I did in the year prior. It's an amazing place to work if you like the outdoors.
Tesla is important but will never sell anywhere near like an iPhone. Best case, in 10-20 years it's the self-driving fleet of choice and huge chunks of people ditch their cars for on-demand transportation. But even then in rural ares I'll wager there will still be many more people with iPhones than will be using Teslas.

Though I could be wrong.
Being even more pedantic, SnapChat started in a class in Stanford. They moved to LA because that's where their early users were and where they started to go viral.

(Of course, being equally pedantic about other Silicon Valley companies - Facebook, Reddit, Dropbox, and YCombinator all "started" in Boston, and the critical events in both AirBnB & Twitter's history happened at SXSW in Austin.)
These articles seem to be a dime a dozen; always predicting the demise of SV. But SV is to tech as Wall St is to finance and that's not going to change for either of these places anytime soon. A key advantage of SV for me has been great career mobility while being able to set down roots. I've been able to push my career forward by working at different industry leading companies without having to move. This allows my family life to be really stable which is the most important thing to me. I really believe I probably could not have a acheived that anywhere else.
> About their race? Were they drawn as monkeys? Asked about being muslim?

Google images "bush monkey." Racists on the left criticized Bush for all sorts of things, sometimes attributing his thinking or actions to him being straight, white, male, etc. (I'm by no means defending Bush, but that attributing his policies to his whiteness as some people do is racist, unless one is a left racist in which case they'll spout off Marxist/Feminist bullshit about classes and how one can't be racist against whites because they're in a position of power blah blah, in which case the Dallas shooter who wanted to kill whites wasn't racist). Not saying that it was common to criticize Bush for this, but neither is criticizing Obama for being black. 99.99% of the right's criticisms of Obama are for his political views, not for his race.

Nobody asked Obama about being Muslim because he's African-American, it was because his dad was at one point Muslim, his middle name is Hussein, and political opponents played into the electorate's concern about jihadi terrorism, not their racism. Bush was asked about his religious views plenty.
so if the agent is more incentivized to sell at $9m and make guaranteed money rather than $10m and making a little more at the risk of losing the deal, but it gains you ~$1m in income in selling it, doesn't that mean the agent should get a higher percentage of the sale?

I can see this going either way where the seller is annoyed the you are making a lot more money for not that much more work or that the seller realizes that if he can make an extra $900k by paying someone $100k it would be worth a 10% commission.

What you are proposing could help reducing aggression between police and civilians, though I do not know how well this would play out in the US.

It generally works in EU countries, but a lot is different there.

What I reject though is you suggesting my comment is mean spirited. The statements you feel are offensive are just facts as far as we can tell today. You would attack my statements instead of me personally if what I wrote was obviously wrong.

Regarding the linked comment:

> Most (not all) suspects who shoot at cops aren't doing it out of spite, but instead of out self-preservation.

How do you know this? Your comment is based on this being true, because if it were otherwise there would be no way your proposal could work. In that case disarmed police officers would continue to get shot but now without being able to defend themselves.
Trump vs. “Trump”
Right, because that's the only thing to do in the Bay Area.

There are plenty of cultural events in SF not involving tech. Museums, art shows, live music, etc.
> But there are very few places that give you the combination of beaches, marsh flats, mountains, redwoods, urban attractions, and the weather to enjoy it all that the Bay Area has within an hour drive.

Exactly the same conditions? No, of course not. Functionally equivalent (better in some ways, worse in others)? Absolutely there are lots of other options. I don't have the ocean, but I have better mountains than the bay area, and wonderful rivers. That's a win in my book, but reasonable people may disagree.

I don't see anyone on this thread saying that the bay area is bad. As I said, I love the bay area, and I'll probably live there again. It just isn't a magical land that's better than anywhere else on earth.
