One of my favorite features of Apache is MultiViews. It lets me make a file like this:

www.example.com/widgets.html

and this address without the file extension will work:

www.example.com/widgets

If the file is widgets.php or some other language that Apache considers a script, then even this will work:

www.example.com/widgets/1234

and $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] will be set to /1234.

This is all turned on with one line in a configuration file:

Options +MultiViews

instead of having to turn on mod_rewrite, with its complexity.
Isn't it because 'incorrect HTML' has been practically defined out of existence?
I do think that most users might be willing to replace a battery every couple of years. Maybe not, we've become a throwaway culture mostly. That doesn't mean it shouldn't be an option or possible.
In Japan you either have very wide roads where the lanes a wide enough that a bicycle and a typical (=small) Japanese car fit reasonably well, or you have narrow side streets where cyclists can just take the whole road without annoying anyone. It's a very good system imho.
The problem with Slack and the like is that it's communication based, not work based.

The problem with Todoist and Wunderlist and the like is that it's work based, not communication based.

Slack is awesome at communicating. But it has no checklist, no todo, no collaboration tools that fulfill most needs. They're all half baked.

Wunderlist has checklists and todos and can be used to track collaboration efforts by linking Google Docs or Sheets to a task for example, but communication is still horrible. It's nowhere close to being a main communications channel.

So most end up using a combination of apps.

But this is also one of the greatest detriments to productivity. Having to juggle apps.
I'm proud of having made http://write.itskrish.co -- it's a stream-of-consciousness journalling/writing tool built in React.

The "stream-of-consciousness" bit is enabled by the two key features: you choose a finite duration within which to write, and if you stop typing more than a few seconds, your writing is deleted. This essentially forces you to continuously type for the session, and at least for me and the users I've spoken to, this forces out thoughts/ideas/feelings that otherwise wouldn't have made it to the keyboard.

I've personally been using it routinely for months as a therapeutic journal, and at this point I've practically been Pavlov'd into opening it up whenever I'm under cognitive/emotional duress.

it's open source (http://github.com/krrishd/write), and I appreciate feedback!
This seems like an argument against any standards at all and for NIH as a guiding principle. Using the logic presented here, you could just as validly say that WebKit shouldn't support HTML and CSS since they're not proprietary and not optimized for Apple's hardware and a lot of stuff rests on top of WebKit. Surely you don't actually think that, but I can't figure out how you can not think that but still think that "it's an open standard" is a knock against Vulkan.
This is especially ironic in lieu of the fact that southern US loses their minds when a few inches of snow falls there, with people being equally unable to get anywhere by car until the roads are plowed as they would be on a bicycle.
tl;dr: This is a Microsoft puff piece written by a PR firm. The ranking is based on abstract things like "completeness of offerings" and "future vision". There's a token revenue comparison as well in an attempt to give some substance which compares all of Microsoft's "cloud" (that is to say inclusive of things like Office 365) against Amazon's IaaS.

> no different than smoking

I'll note that it took centuries for smoking to go out of style (it still isn't in many developed countries) and it took decades for most people to "consider it toxic" even after there was scientific evidence to corroborate it.

It's arguable that Facebook will be in an even better position to fend off accusations of its toxicity since Facebook has one of the world's largest human sociological experimentation platforms ever known to man. They are able to run experiments and gather evidence that economists have not otherwise been able to run.

Don't most water resistant/proof watches already have a user replaceable battery, and a gasket to seal the access point? The big thickness is needed more because of the depth desired for waterproof... even without a gasket/seal this would be an issue. But the difference for most devices is less than 2mm for decent water resistance, which is what the gp mentions.

Kudos to ACLU for fighting a good fight. This excerpt from their official statement[1] sums it up pretty well.

Censorship doesn’t just violate the First Amendment —
it often doesn’t produce its intended results. As many
activists who lived through the civil rights era, or
protested in the streets just this past year, could tell
you: Restrictions on free speech are often applied most
stringently against groups trying to challenge the
status quo.

I had to verify the numbers stated in this article from different sources, and while I think the fair comparison is between Microsoft's "Intelligent Cloud unit" (which excludes Office 365) & AWS, the conclusion on financials in the article is surprisingly true, if only by accident.

Much to my surprise, Azure/MS seems to be making a lot more money, raking in $6.8B in Q1 2017 [1], vs AWS' $3.66B [2]!!

> AMD beat Intel with their K6 and similar series of chips where, just like this time around, they were able to get way more performance per tick out of the CPU.

There was in interesting submission the other day about performance of the Ryzen vs i7, and how their AVX2 instruction support isn't what it's racked up to be[1]. I'm not really qualified to assess the source or claims accurately, so I'll let others read it themselves and come to their own conclusions, but it was interesting.

This is not about Trump. I was just illustrating my point.
To bring it into less computery terms, it's basically the binary equivalent of the statement that the floor of base 10 log of x is the number of decimal digits in x. The floor of log10 9823 is 4, the floor of log10 874323 is 6, etc. This is, I hope, clear. At least if you understand what log base 10 means.
I lived close to a grocery store downtown, walking distance, but I still used an online grocery service for a significant portion of my groceries. I'd get a monthly delivery of non perishable or large/heavy items such as toilet paper, paper towels, canned food, milk bags (this is Canada), frozen food, juice, pasta, etc, etc.

Having to carry large/heavy items without a car was annoying so the service was a great help.

Basically I'd walk to the store for fresh meat, deli meat, cheese and fruit/vegetables. Everything else I'd just order online. The great part of the online store is I could reorder the same list without having to pick each one out again, with some small modifications usually, so it saved a bunch of time.

It was also cheaper on a frequent basis when using the online service. The grocery stores downtown usually have a premium price on everything.
On the one hand, this is a great win for Freedom of Speech in the United States as it relates to commerce, and on the other hand, The Slants is a terrible fucking band name and deserves to be made fun of at every opportunity. Which, coincidentally, also is a nice Freedom of Speech benefit. In other news, Radio, Satellite, or Internet broadcasters still not compelled by law to play their music or mention their name.
No, they are not. None of these studies used FMRI; they were either statistical or behavioral, with no neurological investigation. Did you read the article?

From the article you linked:

"Some people like to use the salmon study as proof that fMRI is woo, but this isn't the case, it's actually a study to show the importance of correcting your stats."
> I would also posit that "white" is not an ethnicity, it's the fiction of a lack of one's ethnicity.

I would put this differently: I would say that "white" is a refusal to identify yourself with a group based on ethnicity. Which for many people who are labeled "white" by others makes sense, since they do not have a single "ethnicity" anyway. I am an example: my genetic ancestry includes Anglo-Saxon, Hispanic, Mediterranean, and Native American, and I am adopted, so my cultural ancestry includes a few more things thrown into the mix. No ethnicity comes anywhere close to describing me, so I have no interest in or reason to identify with one.

As far as "fictitious power dynamics", if my choice to not identify with a group based on ethnicity gives me any power, it's a power that anyone can have by making the same choice. So I don't see how it gives me any advantage over anyone else. After all, what I said about not having a single "ethnicity" anyway probably applies to a majority of humans on this planet at this time, and even if it doesn't apply to you in a strict genetic sense, that doesn't mean you can't make the choice to not identify with a group based on ethnicity.

On the topic of price transparency, can you discuss the breakdown of the pricing between different airports? I've traveled enough that I'm not particularly interested in anything besides expedited immigration, and I can totally accept that it's expensive to get a person past security and buy you into the line, but I'm confused about the difference in pricing for, e.g., LHR, where $220 gets you fast tracked, and SFO, where $375 doesn't.
> Just look at any suburbs: the inhabitants clearly disagree with me.

Some of us just have kids and have noticed that all the city housing is either incredibly expensive or in slums, and the schools in the city proper are dangerous and terrible so we'd also have to pay for private school[0]. And we're not made of money.

I'd much rather live in the city—I hate the car-centric lifestyle—but living there if I have enough money not to but not enough money to also pay for private k-12 schooling would be irresponsible. Plus there's the issue of having to balance commutes for two people in a dual-income household—one of us would almost certainly need a car anyway.

[0] This is true for my city at least. YMMV.

My Cajun / German great grandparents had a lot more in common with local black families than white Germans from New York. Whiteness to them was just an artificial way to segregate people.
All culture is a lie. There isn't such a thing as "white culture" except that which a 'bunch of people' get together and say "that activity over there, we'll call that 'white culture'".

There is no such thing as "America" - this is a social construct which only persists because, every day, people get out of bed and say "well, there is America, and it is 'that thing over there'" and, well, if enough people get together and say something is, the way it is, then thats the way it is.

All culture is a lie. It doesn't hold up on its own, under its own characteristics, like .. say .. Plutonium the Element does. In order to persist, the lie must continually be told.

So really, your invention is as much a lie as anything else. What you really want is to alter culture - and really, who doesn't want that, these days?
That was my point. They are selecting all people aged past 5, not just the ones that would have survived to five in Victorian times, which is presumably a healthier cohort.
I kind of expected something like that, based on the generic-ness of the domain. Hopefully you can leverage that generic-ness into solving other problems under the same name.

Nice service, lots of luck.
I think that white people don't usually identify as being white. Minorities will identify as being their ethnicity. Like it's a tribe they belong to. They will mention it when they describe themselves. They sometimes form groups around it and say they are "proud to be X". Most white people don't identify by their race any more than by their hair color. Their first identity is often to their country or their city.

haha, that's what I thought too, some sort of EMF type research or something.
Lots of ways. Perhaps you know they're a super-loyal Republican voter and you have things that correlate with that, such as willingness to vote when presented with an online poll. You might know they were reluctant because the person shifted between the available alternatives during primary season - perhaps supporting Jeb! Bush, then Marco rubio, then Ted Cruz, then John Kasich, before finally falling into line when Trump won the nomination. You could then infer that Trump was the absolute last choice but that they would still 'hold their nose' and vote for him in the general election, either due to loyalty to GOP on particular policy issues or because of some long-standing hatred of Hillary Clinton, or just a history of being very conformist in political matters (as many, many people are).

True, I've been using Babel for ES6 when not working on chrome extensions or sites limited to early adopters which I look forward to not having to depend on. For Node you don't need Babel to use ES6 besides support for import instead of require.

I still find having to use Babel annoying.
Short answer: Yes.

What is more, your line of thinking is a good one.

Edward Said constructed basically this same argument -
persuasively, I think - in Orientalism, his book on the history of western writing about the east (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orientalism_(book)). If you can get a copy, I recommend it strongly: as you can no doubt see, the consequences of this idea are extraordinarily complex. For instance: what exactly determines Whiteness, if it's a concept that is defined only as "not-ethnic"?

Along those lines, Noel Ignatiev's (note: a controversial figure) book How the Irish Became White details how Celtic immigrants were NOT considered white in the antebellum South. Anyone in America, I think, with Irish or Scots ancestry knows the long history of American racism against the Celts. Ignatiev argues that the Celts 'gained' White status by setting themselves up as anti-Black by becoming strong proponents of slavery and speaking racist ideologies. I found this interesting and persuasive. The historical evidence of horrible and inhuman Irish anti-Black sentiment is obvious, but where other scholars have proposed things like "oh, the Irish came over and were racist just like everyone else" Ignatiev proposes a more universal truth about the way constructions of race interact.
"Surge" to use the term loosely.
Great idea. I still haven't figured out a surefire way to do this for China travel.
I guess the big question is how much the sentiment precedes the price movement, not just correlating with. For example, I can imagine people bad-mouthing a coin when its price is falling. This is not so useful.

I've been dreaming of a service like this since last year. Im travelling to Malaysia in a couple of weeks from Heathrow and would love to get through security faster. I paid $8 (approx) to get through security faster at Luton airport when i was travelling to Amsterdam and i loved it. But unfortunately such a service is not available at Heathrow unless i buy business class or have an executive club membership.

$225 is rather pricey for me. Its a bit beyond my budget, but id happily pay $60ish to get through security/customs faster on my out to Malaysia from Heathrow if it was possible in anyway. If anyone from Solve is reading this please let me know if you can do something for me?

It looks like this is about a new app from the Todoist guys, not Todoist specifically.

There has never been a "white culture" in an enduring and stable way. Something resembling a multi-ethnic white monoculture developed during the 1950s, resulting from the social mixing of whites in WW2 service. But that's very new and not very robust -- certainly lacking deep roots.

There have been a lot of very distinct cultures held by white people -- German, Irish, Finnish, etc -- but they were all quite different.

This parallels U.S. presidental campaigns.

I posit all the time that large corporations are going away, in a long slide towards voluntary federations of sub-human corporations. (Fewer than one full time employee)

Maybe the effect you describe is the writing on the wall. The biggest corporations are becoming unrunnable in any sustainable way. No forward motion, just death throws as previously booked resources are used up.

Over time, this affliction will come to smaller and smaller corporations until just human persons and AIs remain.

"Large corporations" will remain only to the extent CEOs can turn them into voluntary federations. Zuck buying companies and letting them run independently isn't really a corporation in the traditional sense. It has the whiff of a voluntary federation.
This has become annoyingly common and incredibly difficult to discern from honest articles these days. Google in particular seems to prefer them over actual blog posts of their own these days, and has major outlets like The Verge and WIRED heavily publishing for them.

hard to say - i was mostly using it to communicate with opensource developers on nhibernate (iirc, long time ago). I think you are right though, most of the features are things you'd use more for business. Also considering how widely google docs is used, it makes sense.

That was Intel as a powerful incumbent pushing out one major competitor in the same market. AMD made better chips for years, but couldn't displace Intel due to Intel's entrenched advantages (Market share/Legal etc...). Now the market is moving and Intel remains entrenched.

Remembering Stonewall, 1969
As of right now there is not a Federal law describing exactly what is PII data (which would be a prerequisite for this).

There are many (48) different state laws that do define what PII is and how organizations (commercial and governmental) are to handle data breach notifications. If you want to see what a crazy patchwork map of laws this is checkout:

https://blog.varonis.com/us-state-data-breach-definitions/

These only come into play if a certain minimum number of state residents have had their data compromised and if that data is of a certain class.

Typical classes are:

- Account info
- Financial info
- Health Info
- Health Insurance info
- DNA
- SSN
- Biometrics, etc.

And I'm not a lawyer, and we likely don't have all the facts, but at first glance the data released in this breach doesn't meet any of those classifications. It looks pretty much like the data you'd get out of a phone book (name, address, phone number) with a few data points like geocoding and their guess as to your religion and politics.

Which isn't to say that it's great, or that it's not a problem that this was all released, but it is pretty much public data.
