Homograph detection isn't about prohibiting mixed characters; it's about considering letters that look the same to be the same when checking for existing duplicates.
Wow, thanks!

I agree the gameplay is different, but the idea of working through your filesystem is what made me think of it.
This might be the perfect Hacker News comment. It's a shifting of the premise to something which is axiomatically indisputable, but clearly has no relevance to the argument.

OP said that self driving cars are 10-15 years away.

I observe that the hardware has already been developed and that Tesla anticipates its software being ready within the next 12 months, suggesting that a ten year horizon feels conservative.

HN pedant wades in to make an irrelevant point.
> Couldn't you have taken it back to the place where you bought it?

This would generally be the first option, yes, even in the USA.
"hostage" is a ridiculous way of putting it. Both the things I mentioned are purely self-inflicted: the UK government doesn't have to contemplate deporting EU nationals, and does not have to mouth off over Gibraltar.

Leaving the EU means leaving the benefits of the EU, and Brexiters have generally refused to acknowledge what those benefits were while simultanously complaining when they might be withdrawn.
Yes .. the early discounts on games explains it. Very odd from the typical way discounting happens on XBox, etc. Typical games lose value a month or two after release. Nintendo crap either stays the same, or goes up in value because of lack of availability.
Reminds me of Bourne-style "enhance" feature. Too bad the GIF on the main page appears to be marketing (seems impossible from a single frame like that) and takes away from the achievements of the paper.
> I think most reasonable people are deeply sceptical that Uber is going to win first-mover advantage against the likes of Google

Sure. Not anything to do with my point, though.
Given Stallman's uncompromising attitudes, I'm a bit surprised he'd permit his interview to be posted on YouTube.
His daughter's book The Martian's daughter is pretty good, though.
My father had a completely different experience. His ancient physics teacher said, "computers my boy...they are the future". This would have been some time in the 1970's.

Of-course dad didn't listen and went on to have a unremarkable career as a Structural Engineer.

A real shame as I'm sure he would have made an excellent programmer. I like to tease him over what-ifs - especially as he shares a birthday with Bill Gates.
In the case of Yahoo for example, there were surveillance mechanisms that were even unknown to their security team (a Linux kernel module).
Actually it's presently before the supreme court: http://www.scotusblog.com/2017/03/argument-analysis-justices...
But the argument report doesn't look promising.
Engineers who only do exactly what management tells them to do should be thrown out with the head first. If management knew exactly what has to be done there wouldn't be a need for engineers in the first place.

We need to think things through and take security seriously, before we cause more serious problems. We have all seen semi-broken characters and weird symbols appearing in text (due to fonts, codepages, encodings, or plain bad handling of unicode strings) for decades now, and have mostly shrugged it off, accepting that maybe someone else is seeing more appropriate text thanks to that.

But security is not the place for such cavalier attitudes. I'll gladly give up my Ñ's and É's and Ç's in domains and other global identification services, in exchange for knowing that It Will Just Work, always, everywhere, safely. And once the "very smart people that really figure things out" have a solution that works with more extensive cultural/linguistic features, by all means put it in place.
This is bad. Perhaps big corps should buy, as fast as they can, these fake domains before scammers do and redirect them to the legit websites. Doing so they will help protect their users as well as their brand reputation.
I'm not arguing that it's a sensible bet. I'm arguing that people shitting themselves laughing because Uber has a model whereby it loses 15% of the cost of each trip do not appreciate what Uber is trying to do.
This is why I said:

> Are these good faith bugs or willful backdoors? Most likely they're bugs, but it is hard to know.

My suspicion on Microsoft has more to do with the latter facts I mentioned.

Then, you need to understand this happens within the framework of espionage, which is by nature concealed and discrete, and not necessarily with consent (e.g: infiltration).
I see you're Spanish, and so am I--how many times have you seen domains with accented letters? If I see one of those I automatically think I have to remove the accents before I type the URL in my browser.

Okay - you make some good points, and I'm coming around to seeing things your way. Note that the bash (the shell) that you are running inside WSL appears to be binary identical to a stock ubuntu distro - so from that perspective, the bash you are running turns out to be exactly GNU bash, totally unmodified.

Reading around the web - I note that Microsoft appears to be very careful about referring to "Bash/WSL" as a joint unit to refer to the Bash.exe component of WSL. Perhaps everyone on this thread (minus you and a few others) are the ones who are confused - perhaps the "Bash.exe" in Bash/WSL really is completely unrelated to "bash" the Bash shell? It may be the case that when I type "Bash.exe" from the start menu on Windows, the binary I'm running is completely unrelated to "bash" the linux shell - and this entire thing is a branding exercise. (as I think you've very patiently been trying to point out). Perhaps it would have made more sense to rename "Bash.exe" to "wsl.exe" - but then they wouldn't have been able to ride on Bash's branding...

The following link makes the distinction clear:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/faq

It's kind of Ironic when the one person being downvoted to oblivion for several days turns out to be the only one correct. But at least you won over one person. I'll never refer to it as anything other than WSL - and correct people who think they are running Bash (the GNU shell) when they type "Bash.exe."

Thanks.

I wish I could remember! Probably searching for an answer to a tech problem on Google.
I first met Mr. Stallman at Budapest, Hungary in 1993 Fall, sorry I can't remember the exact date perhaps October? He was talking about Hurd. He was not giving a ... fiery ... talk on software freedom, just talking about Hurd. It was very exciting as it was by far not clear that Linux will win and the sci-fi like vision of Hurd will never happen. At this time Linux looked like a bit of a joke with version numbers like 0.99pl10... we are _almost_ 1.0 but not... not yet. Two months later? 0.99pl11. It was hard to take that seriously. Yeah X Windows existed but it was not a good experience compared to a Sun or DEC workstation. Who would've thought then that not only Linux 1.0 will indeed happen early 1994 and five years later freakin' IBM will embrace it and Hurd 1.0 won't ever be released?
This is nonsense I'm afraid.

I was demonstrating to OP that even if he is concerned by the losses Uber is making, and doesn't consider $3bn of losses on $6bn of revenue to be "healthy", it doesn't matter if the plan and the numbers are headed in the right way as far as investors are concerned.

> On the fifth day a miracle happens and your mom gives you another 10 dollars

This is precisely my point. This does not happen (except at huge economic cost to the company and its founders) unless you are demonstrating a plan which you are executing on.

> Uber doesn't have a business model.

Yes, it does. You may not like it, and you may think it's stupid and you know better than the people who put $15bn into it, but it does have a business model.

> They can't make money continuing to operate the way they do now, fares don't cover their operating costs, even if you factor out costs of "building" or "expansion".

Really? A 15% price increase = Uber is profitable[1], and you don't think they could generate a commensurate margin shift from losing central cost? Get rid of the team working on driverless and it's a profitable business.

> Their paths to success are either forcing everyone out of business by undercutting them

Yep.

> somehow managing to get self-driving taxis on the market

Yep

> or simply continuing to build huge volume, as they have been, and then cutting their central costs back to achieve profitability

Oh, you didn't suggest that much easier path to profitability which they could execute on tomorrow. Weird.

This.

I pity Munoz because culture can be hard to shift that people no longer recognize that their business revolves around service, and employees with poor people skills get promoted because they achieve their KPIs by acting against common sense.
He did make a call for help, so I guess he made a compromise after all in the name of raising awareness.
I think he's being sarcastic. But it looks like they only need to increase price by 15% to achieve profitability, so it doesn't require firing 90% of their staff to get there.
it can be more rewarding to ask happy customers what they like about you.
I've done this, without feedback. The reason was that doctors seem to come in several varieties when it comes to bringing their ego to work and my doctor had a serious case of that. I was dehydrated after an operation and when he asked if he could do something for me I asked for some water, the doctor then ordered someone else not in the room to come and get me a glass of water. He couldn't be bothered to walk to the sink and do it for me because that sort of thing was beneath him, he was a doctor after all, not some lowly nurse.

That would have been hard to argue as sufficient reason to switch but I figured that if his primary worry in a situation where a patient has clearly expressed a need is his perception then he shouldn't have become a doctor in the first place and likely that would get in the way of him providing care.

I've talked this over with a nurse friend of mine and they totally confirmed that this is normal, doctors, especially in a hospital setting, are on top of a hierarchy that tends to self-reinforce their importance. And yes, they are important. But in the end what is most important is that they realize that the only reason they have a job is because someone else is in trouble and that some humility goes a very long way towards establishing real rapport.

The one thing that stood out for me on this subject that I read about a while ago (not sure if it was in a book or online) was that actually being in the hospital as a patient immediately made doctors a much better doctor for their patients.

Dogfooding works, even for doctors.

Another reason why people don't leave feedback: they don't want to get into an argument, they just want to switch and they already have enough on their plates and fortunately in many places they have that right.
And sites with "ñ" ?
If the address bar URL and the certificate URL are different, then, at least for addresses in English, that should raise an alarm.

There's a mention below ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14119826 ) that some browsers will show the IDN in the certificate too, presumably because it would otherwise be equally confusing if they didn't match (they do match.) This isn't a problem that can be solved without showing both the IDN and punycode.
no-one checks the certificate readout - it'd have to be inline for regular users to see any benefit.
would these kind of attacks, where you can replace 1+ letters and have a new domain, not be subject to combinatorial explosion? I can imagine companies with longer domains having to buy 10,000+ domains to do this.
For anybody comes to this thread late - partycoder is 100% correct. The Bash.exe component of Bash/WSL is entirely unrelated to the bash shell (that gets executed inside the WSL subsystem) - should have been named wsl.exe. Microsoft is just trying to ride (mostly successfully) for free on all of Bash's goodwill.

I will note, that Microsoft, when referring to their WSL component, never refers to it as Bash - and always "Bash/WSL" - though it's dubious as to whether that's even meaningful (unless they are trying to say once you start WSL you can run bash. But you can also run fish. Or any other shell.
Can you articulate:

(a) your beliefs that Uber's fleet shifts to driverless at various points over the next 20 years.

(b) Their change in costs and revenues following this scenario (and in cases when this doesn't happen).

I can only justify Uber's recent valuations if I entirely discount regulatory risk, assume huge GDP growth in the developing economies + Uber establishing dominance there and that Uber goes completely driverless in the next 10 years, without any legal/licencing costs.

The alternative would be a 30% fare hike, which would cause customers to go banannas.

But kudos to Pornhub for sponsoring women in STEM.
The confusion is that the "Bash.exe" that you run to initiate the WSL subsystem is entirely unrelated to the bash, the shell that gets executed in that subsystem. In the cygwin scenario, when you ran bash.exe - you really are running the bash shell.

Cool.
I spent five minutes reading the article, another several minutes to contemplate if I've been pranked by the "new york times", then spent another minute feeling... lost.

The auspicious "New York Times", to me, would have a standard to present more inquisitive spins into story like this. What a shame. I was waiting for the punchline then realized at the end that the punch was thrown, just never registered.

To summarize this article, it starts off with a claim that Amex executives are worried that Chase is taking more "young professionals". Then the article discusses why that happens in this paragraph:

> A credit card, mystifyingly, had suddenly become cool. And what really got under Amex executives’ skin was that Chase was succeeding by, essentially, copying the American Express playbook and chasing the same up-and-coming elites who had traditionally joined Amex’s ranks.

"mystifyingly" being the key word here. There is no investigation, no speculation, no data gathering, no journalism. There is a claim that a Chase card "seems to be gaining preference" in the young professionals crowd. Why is this a thing? Why is Chase being preferred over Amex? Is Chase even actually being preferred over Amex? Is there a poll, at least?

The only paragraph that attempts to answer any of the questions is this disjointed one in the middle of rambles:

> “The message we send is, this isn’t your father’s credit card,” said Pam Codispoti, who created the Chase Sapphire Reserve after 18 years at Amex. “For millennials, travel might mean taking an Uber to a hole-in-the-wall restaurant in Chinatown, and then riding the subway to karaoke, and then catching a taxi home. So we’re going to give you accelerated travel points on all that. This is a card for accumulating experiences.”

Other than that, there's no presentation of facts, but a rambling of speculations and hearsay. I feel as if I've been served an advertisement for Chase on thin veil. Do I have to start vetting articles from the "New York Times" for quality too?

How disappointing.
The problem is, that C:\Windows\System32\bash.exe has nothing whatsoever to do with bash, the GNU shell. They are entirely unrelated. C:\Windows\System32\bash.exe is the component which initiates the WSL subsystem. With cygwin, when you run bash.exe - you are literally running the bash shell compiled for windows. Once C:\Windows\System32\bash.exe starts up, it then launches bash - the GNU shell.
You're right.

>the doctor then ordered someone else not in the room to come and get me a glass of water //

It seems possible that was a hygiene issue. For example the doctor knew that he'd need then to wash his hands again (possibly twice, once before going to the cupboard, once after), or change his gloves, before continuing with your consultation?
UBER LIKE TAXI APP Developers OR Uber LIKE TAXI APP Development
Not many, but arguably Spanish people (at least young people in Spain) omit always the graphic accents in instant messaging and many times in social media so it's not weird for us to type an url without an é or an ó. I do know I've been asked by companies to get both the accented and unaccented names just in case.

In contrast, Japanese or Chinese people almost never use English characters mixed with their own on a day to day basis.

The alexa results is really interesting, but I think the whole unicode in the url thing is recent (or at least browser support), right? so it would make sense for unicode urls not to be so popular yet. Or it might just be that way, I'd love to see say the top N sites what % use punycode to see if it's relevant or not.
Amex Platinum for the win. Customer service is the best and they make things simple. Have an issue, just give them a call. Don't want to call, website is simple to use. A few years ago my wife and I were in LAX heading to Dublin via London. My wife left her card at home. Oops. Gave them a call. "I see your hotel reservation in Dublin here. A new card will be waiting for you when you arrive." It took all of 4 minutes. 11 hours later show up to the hotel and there is an envelope with a new card for my wife.
I always enjoy listening to him or reading him and although I don't always agree with him on all topics, we need more people like him in this world.
Would you want someone to get you water from a sink? With a tiny cup meant for spitting? Most doctors offices have water coolers or bottled water that they can give you. They probably didn't want to interrupt the flow of the exam and are on a tight schedule so don't want to be late for the next patient.

I have luckily been very healthy in my life, but I have always believed that the relationship between a doctor and a patient is a collaboration with the aim being to help the patient make the most appropriate decision for their needs.

Too many doctors seem to be of the opinion they know best and the patient should just do as they say - even if they are correct technically it is not their life that is on the line. The patient is always right.
