I normally don't mind things like the NYT experimental pages, but this one is just egregious. When you get to the big IBM, nothing works but the scroll wheel for me.

Things you expect to scroll the page:

* Arrow keys

* Scroll Bar

* Page Up/Down Keys

* Hold middle mouse button

* Scroll wheel (ONLY THIS WORKS)

* Mobile swipe (didn't test)
Let's assume that half of them are fakes. Now they have "only" 1.1 billion users every month. The number is still staggering.

I'm also surprised the front bays don't seem to be nvme.
Positing some mystery matter that doesn't behave like anything we've observed strikes me as more absurd than gravity working differently at galactic scales, so I guess it's all a matter of perspective.
AFAIK, every single form of aggregation that reduces variance, biases your data set.

>It is really pointless using the count of CVEs as a measure of how vulnerable a product is.

I read the article, and that is certainly the opinion of the author here.

Security is a large field. You can reduce it to number of bugs. You can reduce it to the development process used to create the product. You can reduce it to methods of defending against future vulnerabilities. You can reduce it to methods of tackling bugs. You can reduce it in along any axis. I don't think using CVEs as a measure is pointless. I find them to be useful.
Maybe state that it is a Varnish configurator. I initially thought it was a new caching proxy, thinking "Why would anyone need that when they have Varnish?".

Also, adding caches is still resource scaling.
Yes, the 1PW7 beta release really raised that version of the software. Thank you for the attention to that platform. Been quite active on the bug reporting forum and I hope you are able to make further improvements. If only the Windows version search capabilities expand, basically the product will be near perfect for me.

Example:

1)search for entries using two or more strings

2)search for entries without two or more certain text. Example, find all entries unrelated to entertainment in "All Items", search for -tag:book -tag:movie -tag:streaming -tag:tv

And saving a search so that I don't have to retype the search language when I QA my 1PW data!
There are at least 3-4 pools plus individual patent holders.
Dark matter is only “missing” in the sense that an explanation of it is missing from established physical theories. It (whatever it is) certainly appears to be present, because it has a major effect on observed galaxy behavior. Otherwise there would be no need to bring up the topic!
An assassination attempt is made with a nerve gas only Russia is known to have been developing and suddenly we should give them the benefit of the doubt? Seriously? After they did the exact same thing already, in the same country, with polonium?

FWIW: "Increasing resolutions and new approaches to screen rendering have reduced the requirement of extensive TrueType hinting. Apple's rendering approach on macOS ignores almost all the hints in a TrueType font, while Microsoft's ClearType ignores many hints, and according to Microsoft, works best with 'lightly hinted' fonts."[1]

Also, OTF is required for advanced typography features. Given that TrueType hinting is mostly ignored, OTF is generally a better choice.

Yea, that is still a huge number, but for advertisers that use FB as a platform is a huge waste of money and FB could easily abuse that as well.
In this case the author is not (yet? apparently he is hoping to do this kind of thing full-time) a professional journalist but someone who made a viral Twitter thread, which was picked up by the media and of which the article is a lightly edited version.
You're right, we can't trust them. But at least let me automatically delete posts for my friends and the rest of the world.
Not just a Harvard thing. A "facebook" or "lookbook" was a pretty common term both in and out of academia. It's still used in the fashion industry.

This is one of the most frustrating page navigation experiences I have had in long a while. I tend to scroll with pgup/pgdn or arrow keys (or more occasionally, space/shift+space) and when I got to the big "IBM" logo the page just kind of stopped. I thought that was all.

It wasn't until I came to this thread I realized there was more, and I should look again, but even then it took me forever to:

1. Realize I needed to put my hand on my mouse, hover the tiny, thin red line to get it to expand, and then use that to navigate.

2. Flip between pgup/pgdn and arrow keys. Sometimes one set worked, sometimes another did, and it would flip at random points in the experience.

Why on earth would you selectively enable and disable the browser's interaction with common navigation keys repeatedly in the span of a single page? I can understand blocking/swallowing one set if you intend to use it somewhere for something else (i.e. the text input sections), but flipping them on and off with no other use for those keys while they are blocked? It boggles the mind.
I think a more relevant example would be a candidate who regularly is involved in trollish / racist / hateful behavior on their social media profiles.

If this was the case would you still not want to know?

I'm genuinely curious as my belief now is that you'd absolutely benefit from knowing and filtering out that candidate.
To a great extent, I see people formally arguing well (or, at the very least, trying to signal that they are arguing well) but so many argue for absurd propositions and hellish conclusions.

Much of my thought over the last couple of years centers on how much of our rationalist skills are honed around developing resistance strategies.

I believe that we have far more and better mental tools at our disposal for telling us that we are being rational than we actually have tools for being rational.

Maybe that is, in itself an irrational belief. It's kind of difficult to justify, but it feels correct, so I kneel doan and act as if I believe it, especially with regards to my own thought patterns.

At the very least, however, logic and rationality only operate well if we have a common set of quality premises.

So even with a good education in rhetoric we often can't get out of our heads enough to look for truth instead of seek the gratification of justifying ourselves.

Heck, my MA concentrates on rhetoric and community, and I have a hard time simply being okay when I generally agree with folks who are saying nutty things because of their poor logical skills. And so I can't really be around an environment that foments that kind of casual bad thought.
AIM could have become Whatsapp if it was smart.
Don't agree. The ugly politics makes me much more unhappy than a friends Hawaii trip.
Sometimes the synonym searching doesn't make a lot of sense -- you can search for "mens socks" and it'll give you "womens socks," with "womens" highlighted. You can fix this with quoting terms, but how many people know to do that?
No, it hasn't worked for years.
Any theory of what dark matter is (and there are many) would need to explain how galaxies came to be the way they are. Indeed, explaining anomalies in galaxy behavior is the main reason the idea of “dark matter” came about.
And that is why you never let such data off your premises in the first place. Who knows how many copies there have been made by now. Remember that AOL stuff that was online for a couple of hours? It will never go away.

A pretty good source of very interesting information is the OpenRTB interface to your average advertising bidding platform or company. A couple of bucks and you too could be bidding for ads. If you bid low you will get all the data you could possibly imagine and you can keep it even if you lose the bid. All you need is a good story and a couple of bucks to keep the exchanges satisfied.
I have a long command I use semi-regularly in Bash. The ctrl-r search tends to turn up the wrong command, so I edited the command and appended a unique comment. Now I just do ctrl-r, unique-comment, enter.

> The police reported that the pedestrian, wearing black, entered the roadway randomly and unexpectedly, directly in front of a moving vehicle, and concluded that a human driver would not have reacted in time either

She did not enter the roadway directly in front of the Uber. She entered the road from the left and had to cross multiple lanes to get in front of the Uber, which was in the right lane. There were no obstructions between her and the Uber during all of this, and even if the road had not been well lit by streetlights, she would have been in range of the Uber's headlights for over 4 seconds before the collision (the low beams on that model car have a range of 250 ft, and the car was traveling 55 ft/second).

> The police reported the accident as "unavoidable", and showed that there was a crosswalk very close

The nearest crosswalk was 300 ft away, which I would not count as "very close".
If it's "distinctly IBM" then why is it interesting for the rest of us?

but to the greater point of the article, this's just weird.
We know that dark matter makes up a large fraction of the universe's overall mass. And we observe dark matter (indirectly) in just about every galaxy we look at. This makes sense, since we believe that galaxies are formed when local concentrations of matter collapse under their own gravity; you'd expect this process to affect both types of matter the same way. When we see a galaxy with no dark matter, it suggests that something unusual is going on, in a way that affects dark matter differently.
Advertisers in any medium probably have to accept that some people aren't paying any attention to the ad. High-viewership events cost more to advertise on, but a significant portion of the audience is going to wander off at any given commercial break.
Using Machine Learning to Discover Neural Network Optimizers
That's just due to human categorization and labelling of things, but isn't an absolute truth.

My feeling is if we evolve into something with just a brain and no body (with the help of technology perhaps) then that is something else. But you can also argue it is still human if that species has the same emotions. But maybe it wont.
Agh that was awful, relentless, and bleak. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely. The same things I liked about AIM are the same things I like about iMessage and what’s app.

NJ USA used AIM. I still never found anything better than the search feature they used to have. I would search for "female", "North jersey", and I think even age.... then send a message to everyone that popped up.

So... first time for how many years? And as, article points out, the leak itself is rather minor.

Please stop with the McCarthyism red-scare nonsense. It's time to admit that all this Russia nonsense serves only to take the spotlight off of Hillary's corrupt campaign. Any Russian election "interference" was negligible compared to Citzen's United (the real source of propaganda) and DNC corruption.
Isn't that last comment that the case for most software?
Yeah, the various Garamond variants are classics (tracing their history all the way back to the 15th century!). Apple did commission a dedicated variant for themselves. Similarly, Apple used a Myriad variant, Myriad Apple. That said, my point wasn't that Apple only used Apple designed fonts (which isn't true), but that Apple has always focussed on design in general and typography in particular.

You’re missing the point, which is that you’re dealing with a coupled system (in the physics sense). Google reflects our racism, but exposure to that racism on the first page of results makes us more racist. Google concentrates it and reflects it back to us.

(Google does this with everything else as well. What do people think of the new MacBook Pro? Searching for reviews will immediately spit back a concentrated and distilled version the first mover opinions, which will itself drive peoples’ opinions.)
I disagree, because I don't think "Political Correctness" has been sufficiently defined. I think this doubly so because of the extremism used in the OP regarding "AI goggles that block out the words that might hurt us." I see a mockery, there, and it raises my hackles. Perhaps it was unintentional.

What is "political correctness?" Are we referring right now to the alt-right manufactured bogeyman? That is my sense.
Yes... but there are reasons to think these cases are different.

They may not have much network effect, but I am quite confident that a lot of people buy the same manufacturer's car (or, hell, even the latest model of the same vehicle) every time they are in the market for a new car. Like, there are people who just buy a new Camry every four or five years.

Most of such devices also support H.264, which can be used as fallback for those who don't yet support AV1. H.265 isn't needed at all.

There will be some period when H.265 will linger around, but it will eventually die out.
I hope this is connected, but how much oxygen would it take to sustain these craft? A cursory look seems to suggest that the ISS generates oxygen from water electrolysis, which generates about 20lbs of oxygen a day.

The big difference is you can fire off a rocket and get water to the ISS in comparatively shorter time and less fuel, which makes it feel much more challenging to get in the sky of Venus.

I obviously have no idea what I'm talking about here, but I'm thinking the continued challenges of floating -vs- hard ground will be very high. Plus we don't really have any direct experience with that, right?
What behavior do you see? Does it ever work?
White girls not so much. But Asian girls returns lots of pic sites that aren’t porn but are suggestive.

Btw, black girls no longer returns author’s screenshot so google has changed results since this article.
I'm teased by the thought that this finding represents the following discovery: Given that the training data always introduces a degree of randomness into the learning process, therefore no matter what method (model) you choose; you've actually chosen an evolutionary model, always - at least in good part. Whether you thought you did, or not. Some models will allow that evolution to take place somewhat faster in absolute values than others will, but more time to evolve (that is, data with which to evolve) is what really matters.

This may be a reminder to "shuffle" your data - or perhaps not to, if you want to jar the neural net. Maybe the former early on, the latter later on, at a guess?
It's also worth noting that all these companies have experienced executive leaders who came on during the transition from 100 to 1000 people. They succeeded with a massive amount of support from experienced top executives. This seems to be the optimal approach, hire in top execs as COO or CEO (then later chairmen or other top advicer) while keeping the founders in the leadership team.
I did this in Las Vegas. https://digthisvegas.com

I think $500 is too much if you have to pay for it personally, and I also feel gross about paying to do other people's "job", but goddamn it was fun.
This is ridiculous.

This just means that people on the internet who write about black teenagers write about the ones who get arrested. People who create pages about "black girls" create porn content, and most people who search for "black girls" most likely are looking for porn and click on links that talk about porn.

It's amazing how people can see racism everywhere.
Pausing app reviews is annoying for sure, but not allowing new users to authorize their app is really bad.

Meaning that new customers can't connect with facebook anymore to access their own data using OAuth! We don't need permissions about your friends, your photos, or whatever. Just accessing their own messages and posts (which is what our customers want to see in our app and pay for).

I know they are shell-shocked after #deletefacebook stuff, but this overreaction is ridiculous.

So glad it's not our only channel of communication through. Times like this you appreciate email - crazy huh?
I think you'll find it much harder to find enough Assange sympathizers to pull this off than it was a few years ago. He's been working pretty hard to reduce his - and WikiLeaks - image over the last couple of years.

Personally I think that by now he should get it over with and walk out, be arrested, do the time for skipping bail and then he can put his extradition theory to the test. The current political leadership in the USA is about as pro Assange as it is ever going to get.

Thanks for responding Kyle! No questions - I love your app. My partner is not very technology savvy and I recently got them to adopt 1password which has been a huge huge boost to her security; her previous solution was just recycle passwords.

One piece of feedback is that when I was comparing your product to Dashlane, they had much better tools to migrate your existing passwords. Specifically Dashlane has a tool to migrate all your passwords in your Mac OS keychain automatically to their manager. I remember y'all having a solution as well but it was a lot more complex and wasn't something that my mom or dad could do without me watching them.

So my main feedback is to build solutions and UX that cater towards your grandma, not to the HN crowd. These are the users that you need to convert over because they have the biggest security risks.
You're right. If the government of the United States were to ban using Facebook, you'd probably see a lot fewer people using Facebook.
Well, if the strength of gravity was linear in redshift, astronomers would have detected it decades ago.
Assange's communications have been cut down due to the overwhelming pressure of the Spanish government into Ecuador. This is clearly explained in the official communication of the Ecuador government : https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DZY7pY1WkAALgkz.jpg (could not find a better link)

The reason is that he was tweeting again in favour of Catalan Republicans, more precisely against the current wave of political prisoners that Spain is taking, including probably the last Catalan elected president, now under custody in Germany.

This is confirmed by Assange himself in his last tweet "I have no right to twit about political prisoners."

The guy is now a hero to many catalans. He will be an honorary citizen of the forthcoming Catalan Republic, and there are already talks of erecting a statue of him in the center of Barcelona!

The problem I find with the current ES modules is a lot of statements like this

import {thing} from '../../../thing/in/dir.js'

and then if I move a file I have to change all of its imports to a different number of parent traversals. It would be really nice to be able to define a path that all imports would be relative from.

> We know that dark matter makes up a large fraction of the universe's overall mass.

Do we?

I thought it was that we know a significant amount of mass is missing from our observations and we explain it with dark matter.

Dark matter to me is a crutch to explain things until we really know.

Is it not at all possible our understanding is just wrong and that nothing is missing?
I totally agree. Scaling with docker containers is not a silver bullet for a LOT of problems. Optimizing your boring/old tech stack can much more often a better investment than betting or (even worse) switching on docker as your foundation.
