> people trust Google's ranking to imply an authority that it simply can't provide, because it's magic to them.

More the reason to expose the relevant parts of the "magic" as much as possible, rather than working as a black box and presenting the result as appearing out from nowhere.
It does work but only if you haven't tried to read it already (that is, they set a cookie or something when you first try to open the article that sticks when you open it from Google).
What I gathered from Trump voters was that they looked for someone to shake up a system they viewed as not working. So Trump was that guy. It was pretty clear that voting for Clinton would prolong the status quo. It's unfortunate that the American system doesn't provide choice.
The FireFox URL box also acts as a search box, though
I personally think memes only happened because so many people were already primed for change of the status quo.
It is much harder to try and prosecute this across international lines, especially in India where corruption is much more rampant (India has a much higher corruption index than Western nations like US, Canada, UK, France and Germany.)

Your argument that it could happen is basically saying that in India the chance of this happening is > 0% and in the UK the chance is > 0%, but that doesn't mean that the chance of it happening in India is the same as it happening in the UK.

My home get calls from Duct Cleaners and Windows Support and it is always from India and Pakistan and its gone on for years. There is clearly less than effective means of controlling these types of scams.

I'd argue that the real reason there are no XBox emulators is because nobody with the requisite skills cares enough to bother to reverse-engineer it and write an emulator.

Since there are very few exclusives, there's little demand for it to be emulated in the first place. And from what I understand, the XBox isn't fondly-remembered by geeks. The XBox was the console of choice for people who liked to make fun of geeks and nerds, and as such most people who have the skills and the desire to write emulators (i.e. geeks and nerds) have a pretty strong aversion to the XBox. That the most popular games for the XBox weren't the kind of games that were enjoyed by nerds doesn't help, either. There's very little overlap between emulator programmers and people who care about the original Halo or old Madden games.

Pass the cost of shipping to the buyer. I resold games in high school. I wasn't savvy enough to write scripts to search for specific games and their prices. I manually combed sites (mostly eBay) to find people/stores that were selling games a few days/weeks before the actual release date. I'd order a few a copies, add a small markup, charge flat-rate shipping (would cover most distances), and be on my way.

My point is that there's a market for these. The product I was selling wasn't scarce. My guess why people bought these games was that they were teens who couldn't get their parents to drive them an hour to the nearest store that carried games.

I used Simh Vax, but I've also used Charon-VAX in the past when they were allowing free usage of the software (I don't know the current situation). Charon was quite fast at the time on the hardware I had in maybe 2008 or so. But I've used Simh recently and it's plenty fast enough on modern hardware.
If a tool only works 30% of the time people will quickly stop using it.

That's an interesting article. This bit from the top was particularly informative... I had no idea the dodo was only known to the world for such a short time before it went extinct:

> The first recorded mention of the dodo was by Dutch sailors in 1598. In the following years, the bird was hunted by sailors and invasive species, while its habitat was being destroyed. The last widely accepted sighting of a dodo was in 1662. Its extinction was not immediately noticed, and some considered it to be a mythical creature.
It's not even limited to this kind of question for which there's no simple answer to give. Last week, my wife was joking around with our 9-year-old, leading to him trying to convince her that mermaids aren't real. Cue, "OK Google, do mermaids exist?" To which our Google Home announces, "According to Weekly World News...<yes basically>".

If "do mermaids exist" can't be classified as a thing you know, I'm not even sure you're at the point where epistemology is your most glaring problem. You know so little that you should stop volunteering to answer questions.
Probably, but they could have changed the adapter so the cable left the connector sideways like in Magsafe1.

>NPM is already supported by default for quite some time in VisualStudio

I should have been more clear. I mean MS should work with Node/LAMP people to invest in one package manager more than the other. Like they did with TypeScript, they didn't just build a tool that linux people never used, they made useful tooling and also spent a lot of time bringing Google and others into the fold.

It makes sense to back npm because (guessing) it's used more than nu-get is used by VS devs. However if nu-get has a stronger ecosystem, stronger user base, etc choose it.

Having competition is usually good, but sometimes it just means it's more work to have to learn more/work more to get the same thing done (if you work across environments). Take instant messaging protocols, lots of competition but not even having cooperation has made the result terrible. Incompatibility everywhere, reinventing the wheel, etc.

To be sure some things are better not unified. We have multiple, un-unified browser engines and implementations which is critical. It improves competition, innovation and quality while still allowing surface level standardization in html/css/etc.

I try to look at each set of competing projects independently and ask: Overall is this helping, or it is mostly just wasting time as clients are forced to learn multiple techs.
Definitely an incentive problem there. The bot must do "something" to justify its existence and attract attention to the fact it is useful, while simultaneously not being so annoying that it is, well, annoying. I'm not sure even a human could hit that window consistently, especially as it's probably a window of negative width (i.e., outright impossible) for a lot of users.

I don't think it's that simple.

Until the 1980s, there were various different hardware architectures, each with its own operating system. Their manufacturers sold mainframes/mini-computers which came with the operating system installed. The operating systems weren't portable, and were included in the price of the hardware.

Unix was originally developed for the PDP-11, and written in C, which though influenced by the PDP-11 architecture was at the same time low level and machine independent.

BSD Unix was available for the DEC VAX, and could be run instead of DEC's VMS. Back then, this was most people's first experience of Unix. Franz Lisp was included with BSD Unix.

Around this time, the market for proprietary mainframes was collapsing, so there wasn't much demand for their operating systems (or for people with experience with them). New manufacturers, e.g. Sun and Apollo, entered the market with workstations running either Unix or Unix-like systems. Vaxes were still around, by now often running Unix instead of VMS. Anyone manufacturing new hardware had the choice of developing a proprietary operating system, which was a lot of effort and would die with the machine, or porting Unix to it.

The Lisp Machine market collapsed for various reasons which are reasonably well-known. Lisp lives on, but was always a niche language, and there are various explanations for its lack of popularity. It was never really an alternative to C, which is a lot lower level.
You can already do this exact thing with a Python library on the user machine, see here for install instructions: https://gpkit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html

The intent here is to make it easy for people to get started and quickly write models, without needing to go through installing a set of packages.
Yes, that is true; instead, they never considered some other type of display that didn't exist yet at all, and so effects that they assumed would be there are not. The Sonic the Hedgehog waterfall is the classic example.
Just follow Trump on Twitter for a while, and see who else follows him, and vice versa. It's Poe's Law with a vengeance. You can't really tell who's trolling who. Except that one of them is President ;)
> Because those people saw him as lesser evil compared to Clinton? If there was another not-Clinton candidate, they'd have voted for him/her.

As a Trump voter - but not a Republican - this pretty much sums it up. His SCOTUS list and the formation of his "Second Amendment Coalition" nudged me from the "he's better than Clinton" to the "maybe he'll deliver something I want" column, but there are no circumstances where I would have voted Clinton.

> It'd be interesting to see Sanders vs Trump in parallel universe.

I think it would have been a slaughter in that case, instead of the squeaker it was. Trump's biggest challenge was winning over the libertarian wing of the GOP. If he were against Sanders, that part of the party would have been locked down from day one.

"They can't lie to a federal judge to try to compel Apple to help them do something they can already do. "

You nust have missed the whole Snowden leaks where they were all lying to Congress, courts, and so on. Far as the FBI, here's what they say: "That pertains to highly classified matters of national security. Im afraid I can't discuss that here." (Keep repeating.)

They've also been lying about their counterterrorism cases. That one expose showed they're paying undercovers $100,000 or so to convince harmless people to try something. Even financing, equiping, and training them. They sell it in court as them stopping what was already going on. Despite one informant recording them, nobody leading the FBI is fired or doing time. Deception is business as usual.

I would guess (and I'm trying not to make any value judgement on this) that they view it as a job, and the sales commissions help pay for their lives and their family, and they don't think about it much more deeply than that.

I recently read some comments from a Timeshare salesman in the US, whose attitude was similar. Asked "don't you feel bad that your job is basically to operate a large-scale real estate scam", he replied, (I paraphrase) "hey, at the end of the presentation, you have the contract right there in front of you, and if you choose to sign it, it's on you. My job is just to convince you to sign, and if I do, I get a good commission."

My anecdata suggests most drug dealers beyond the lowest tier street level dealers are quite intelligent (and become more so as you move up the chain).

I got curious by this question so I googled trends it against reddit.

https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=4chan,re...

4chan seems to slowly be trending down.

The giant spikes on both reddit and 4chan were when the nude photos of Jennifer Lawrence were leaked. It's kind of hilarious to put that in perspective.

Anyway, from that we can conclude that the alt right from 4chan that has been blamed is probably unlikely at least as the main community.
There are at least a few Great Meme War veterans who truly believe they made a difference: "I helped meme a President into office, cucks" - Gab.ai CEO Andrew Torba.

If any effect came from 4chan /pol/ it was because the mainstream validated them and tried to categorize them as a coherent whole: The Alt-Right. Anonymous self-marginalizes. It was the Hillary campaign who drew attention to Pepe the Frog and made it part of the common discourse.

And no word (yet) in this article about Russian influence on social media and political campaigns. Even though the far-right plays a clear role in that propaganda machine.

That's true, but I don't think it's a problem. That's a question that just has two separate intentions, and even the world's foremost expert on Easter could give you the wrong one.

If Google were as good as the best human experts at answering any question, then I think we'd have to declare victory and live with the occasional miscommunication, just as we do today.
The study looked at members of high-iq societies and alumni from elite universities primarily, which is going to select for a disproportionate amount of people who consider their high-iq important to their personalities. Intuitively, I'd expect high IQ to be correlated with narcissism, and in this group even more so. Narcissists are going to be more likely to commit crimes.
The electoral college decided the election. Voter sentiment was at least even, or favored Clinton. So the mechanics of marketing and such were really an important factor in the election.

Hopeful, empty rhetoric about jobs just might have won the election for Clinton. Instead there were gaffes and silence.

I don't know what people are used to these days, but looking at the diagram in the post, if this is what author calls a DSL, then they haven't seen a DSL in their life before.

An actual DSL looks like this:

Google's 'featured snippets' are universally fucking shit.

It's a bit of a rant I guess, but I'm annoyed but the extent to which Google has become less useful as a search engine while trying to do all of this 'extracting knowledge from the web' stuff. Because it's really not doing a great job of the latter.
You sound like you think you're disagreeing with rand_r, but all your text is in support of rand_r's point. You use one example that is basically solvable with regexes and in your second paragraph you appear to strongly agree that NLP isn't important at all.
To whoever edited my title: The bug report title is inaccurate. It's specifically about HSTS preloads, which is why my original title stated that instead of "gTLDs".

Netbooks weren't all cheap -- good high-quality ones would put you back $500-$800 which is where today's entry-level ultrabooks are (like an Acer Aspire S 13, or an Asus ZenBook)

But yes, the really cheap Netbooks were replaced by tablets and tablet-based laptops. Things like the iPad Mini 2 ($280) or the Lenovo Miix 320 ($200ish) or most Chromebooks.

Technically yes, because like every other domain name, it can have an A record pointing to an address.

From a technical perspective, there's no difference between `www.example.com`, `example.com` and `com` having an A record.

From a best-practices standpoint, A records on TLDs aren't liked (just see this submission here when looking for a reason) and thus exist only very rarely.

Whatever meter you get installed, make sure they take the initial reading properly! Obvious for mechanic meters, but it turns out that some Electronic meters are like that too.

In the UK, about 6 or 7 years ago we bought an old house and upgraded the wiring, fuseboard, etc. The Electricity company came and replaced the old meter with a newer Electronic (but not Smart) meter.

Unfortunately the guy they sent to install it didn't record the initial readings. That meant that as far as the company was concerned it had been installed at zero, when in fact it was way past that.

We weren't able to move in immediately, and in the meantime there was very little electricity used - one electric heater on low, occasional lights on/off when we visited. That kind of thing. So you can imagine our horror when the first bill was for thousands of pounds.

Fortunately when we rang up to complain we got somebody at the call center who immediately realised what must have happened and sorted it out. We had to agree an estimated usage, and it's still possible we overpaid for what we actually used, but at least it wasn't thousands.

No, the EP didn't vote to end visa free travel by Americans. They are asking the Commission to follow the existing law in case of non-reciprocity - which may result in Americans no longer travelling visa free to the EU. If the Commission decides to finally follow the law and introduce this 'delegated act', the member states could still strike it down by simple majority.
Of course, there are good reasons for running legacy software, and likely some of that will still be around.

How about, I don't see Unix-like systems as the end-all be-all of operating systems such that these systems will be the basis of anything in 100 years. To extend the timeframe indefinitely, is this system the one to last the ages?
I love to see creative uses for (La)TeX. The infographic looks really quite slick. Kudos.
A little searching and I don't see any evidence that IQ is related to narcissism. That seems intuitive to me - narcissism is unrelated to the real world, they don't have to be actually better than anybody to believe they are.
That seems very odd to me. I would expect most people should have learned the impact of this from the first time learning addition. I guess this is a good example of why you can never assume to know how someone else thinks about information.
