These are all different e-mail addresses; that part should not be surprising, and Netflix is absolutely doing the right thing by considering them different. (The same goes for "+labels": a "+" is a perfectly valid character in the local part of an e-mail address and the meaning of the "+" is entirely up to the mail host, so e.g. rejecting e-mails with a "+" or stripping out the "+" and following characters would violate the RFCs.)

No, Netflix's errors lie in (a) sending e-mail for any purpose other than account validation to an unvalidated e-mail address, and (b) including a pre-authenticated link in the e-mail that bypasses the normal account access controls. Pre-authenticated links are poor security practice in general; e-mail is notoriously insecure, and simply being able to read an e-mail sent to the address on file does not imply that the reader should have access to the account.

As for "dots don't matter", it can be argued that Google made some scams a bit easier by routing e-mails to non-canonical e-mail addresses to users who don't realize they even have such addresses; my own recommendation would have been to block registration of e-mails differing only in the number or placement of dots, but bounce any incoming mail where the "To:" field doesn't match the canonical form chosen at account creation time. However, since doing away with the "dots don't matter" policy would not significantly impact the more general issue of e-mail address aliasing, I do not believe that Google's policies are to blame for this particular security gap.
It's not wrong. That works on everyone.

Some would say meat can be "unprocessed", but its not part of the WFPB diet that I mentioned earlier and it known for it's health (obesity reversing) benefits. To the contrary.
I guess my response to that would be, if you just go straight into Java then OK, you've made some Java developers... I think they will be poor developers who happen to know Java.

But if you teach them fundamentals of structuring software, compiler theory, how it all works at a lower level etc. Then teach them Java, you will have good developers, who also happen to know Java.

It's already happening in some cases. A former colleague who is working in China (and I'm sure doesn't regularly eat at low-end restaurants) was telling me how in a lot of places you order from your table by scanning the QR code at your individual seat and pulling up the menu.

Even Zuckerberg doesn't seem to know, he appears to have lost control of what's going on. Unfortunately, the hearing didn't dive into details to better demonstrate that he can't tell why somebody sees what they see, and who uses the data (inside and outside of Facebook). Also, the whole collecting data "for security purposes" is pretty unbelievable. Does that mean they share information with governments around the world? This can be interpreted as anything.
The way the current tax regime and economic system are setup in the US, they both favor the employer-employee relationship heavily and, in a way, penalize a worker for existing outside of it.

Encryption deals with secrecy, though. We do talk about "private" and "public" in encryption, but that's an abuse of the terms. "Private" is shorthand meaning inside a secure perimeter, and "public" means outside the secure perimeter.
I liked your second paragraph.

But from my experience interacting with non-technical people, your first paragraph is completely wrong. At least from my experience, most people DON'T think "facebook knows everything".
Sometimes when you just accidentally find out a male coworker is making way more than you (for lower quality work even), then you don't have to search very far. For a lot of women, we assume that there is discrimination because it happens to us directly, so further research into the extent of the problem seems very warranted.
I'd love if they could re-use data to temporary supplement checks that take a long time. Some background checks can take _ages_ for certain counties, especially if they were a city/county employee, a police officer, or lived in some rural county that only does background checks via paper or fax and their city office is only open 10am to 3pm two days per week.

If Checkr could tell me immediately, "We submitted the requests, but they may take a long time, so here's Bob's clear background check as of 2 years ago while you wait."

(I've had a few background checks via Checkr take many weeks or more, meanwhile the employee is left in limbo. 98% were quick, but those 2% were painful; not Checkr's fault of course.)

I've heard this example bandied about every time this topic comes up, but does this actually mean that those entry-level lawyers would be out of a job?

It's actually easy. For each allele, you simply take the majority allele.

Yes, this will lose some new beneficial mutations, but since most mutations are deleterious, taking majority allele is guaranteed to be an improvement in whole. Huge improvement.

That is a false comparison. There is no technical reason why 32bit software shouldn't work on a desktop 64bit intel processor.

The 18-25 yr old generation seems to have way more weight related problems than mine (30-35). But they also tend to be much more responsible by other measures.(less smoking, less binge drinking, harder working, more politically active etc..)

Not to mention across my friends and acquaintances weight doesn't seem to correlate very well with any other since of personal responsibility. I have plenty of incredibly hard working heavy friends, and lazy as hell skinny ones.

What are your reasons for blaming an entire generation's(cross nationality, cross species) obesity problem on personal responsibility?

BTW what do you mean by personal responsibility? Is that a shift in culture, or is it a shift in willpower via dysgynic evolution?
Generally speaking, you should be swapping roles periodically.

In my experience, it works best if the person sitting is performing the planning aspects, while the person standing is critiquing or looking for bugs/typos.

If there's too much of a difference in experience level between the two people doing pair programming, I don't see the point -- it's not very effective as a didiactic tool, compared to throwing a junior engineer at a problem way over their head and waiting until they figure it out themselves.

That said, I sometimes get a lot out of performing the 'coaching' role for someone who has a lot more experience than I do, if they generally aren't good at explaining their logic, because it provides me the opportunity to ask very specific questions with very clear context about how and why they are making particular decisions. Sometimes, such questions reveal the logic behind behaviors that were learned through experience and never consciously considered yet have big ramifications on performance, code structure, or engineer effort.
Ah, quite correct. I meant to say "Consumer reporting agencies" and let "credit" slip in there as a side-effect of my personal experience. :)

Well if one doesn't like something, they have to come up with part hilarious and part wild assertions like this.
What common sense would suggest is true very often doesn't align with what research has found to actually be true.

Don't take the world for granted. Don't assume you understand something just because the answer seems obvious.

In fact, the example you gave - people who smile more are happier - is true, but the cause is possibly the opposite of what the sentence implies. Some people are happy more because they force themselves to smile; they're not smiling because they're happy.[1]

* Oracle

* The non-system calls overhead in Linux that may not be suited for mobile phones

* Wanting to better couple the OS with the hardware, and not have to run in a VM on top of the Kernel

* Oracle

* Changing business philosophies as they start building out their own hardware

* Oracle

* Wanting stricter control of the OS application stack

* Protecting proprietary hardware components without using blob drivers

I'm not sure if the stigma will go away, but a lot of the reason not to embrace the welfare lifestyle is the stigma associated with it. With UBI everyone is getting it, so if you use it to live off of without working... good for you. I'm still getting mine, too. With the cumbersome traditional means tested welfare programs you get handouts and I am over here working my butt off paying for them. In its nature it makes welfare systems hostile to the working class if they cannot benefit from them.

There are lots of factors that are just as important to success as creativity and intelligence like the ability to take risks (you can't be an entrepreneur if the business failing means your children starve), access to capital (a modern internet business doesn't need much, but it does need some. Can you rent a server on AWS without a credit card?) and probably most importantly, plain old luck.

The like button actually being present means that your client makes a request to FB to fetch the relevant image resources and JS to display the button.

When that occurs, FB has some limited ability to get information on your browsing habits based on what that like-button JS is allowed to see of your current session (which given browser fingerprinting techniques, can be enough to unify your behavior with high probability across multiple disparate "blips" of signal).
Now you're thinking with portholes!
What drivel. They overpromised, lied to people, broke the law. I recall at least one story that also claimed that their blood testing was unreliable, thus endangering people’s lives.

There is absolutely no sympathy necessary here. You may empathize with the feeling of loss, but concluding that they are not scammers because of that is absurd. “Best intentions” do not matter if your actions contrast with them.

Yes, that and about 100 or so factors the study did not control for. I really have had quite enough of all these studies that indicate substantial effects on your lifespan depending on some minor detail in your life and then some marginally significant result. That and that for every study like that you can probably find a counterpart. Ditto heart disease and cancer.

This reminds me of the religion of "dataism" found in Yuval Noah Harari's Homo Deus. We're moving towards a world where the free flow of information is valued above all else.

The Librem 5 from puri.sm is nice in that respect. The phone runs Linux and will have a docking station to attach monitor, keyboard, mouse, then use as laptop.
Well, but ad targeting (if it's done in-house) can be done without violating privacy.

I mean, if FB would sell a service "show an ad to 10000 people born on 13th April 1998", and then doing so is perfectly compatible with keeping birthdays private as long as they don't tell the advertiser which people got shown that ad. A setting marked "only me" can be reasonably used to affect content that's shown only to you, e.g. targeted ads - assuming that you know your birthdate and relationship status, nothing that's shown to you is a privacy issue as long as no information is given to others. Such ad-targeting may be unwanted and intrusive, but that's not disclosing any private information. The upcoming EU GDPR law would likely require your consent for such usage of private data, though.
Yeah, this. I mean, "technical debt" doesn't begin to cover it.

As the overlap in the Venn diagram of "people who give a crap" and "people who understand what FB actually is" inevitably gets larger I have no doubt that we'll reach a pitchforks-and-torches tipping point.

By getting up in front of Congress and stonewalling (or outright lying) he's jammed his public perception over towards the "Martin Shkreli" zone.
>There’s nothing stopping you from keeping your machine running the same version of the OS you’re on now.

You can say that about anything. Is there anything stopping you from writing your own OS? Take a programming course, Learn programming, convince people to help you, etc, etc.

>It will continue to run fine indefinitely, and should run all the software you use now.

If it was bug free, I wouldn't care. Apple as the sole distributor, introduces bugs in their software, and then ties the bug fixes to updates which change functionality of the underlying OS.

1. Since Amazon uses Facebook for advertising, they can feed their data to both Google and Facebook ads. It's easy to do with cookies.

2. If you don't have Facebook app on your phone or if you did not open your Facebook app when you are in store, you won't see ads for that store. Unless you have a loyalty program with the store or the store decides to target advertise you based on your payment info, etc. In any case, it is the physical store that shares those information.
All true and good stuff -- But I think the OP is pointing out that being a Night Owl is probably confounded (majorly) with a significant range of other health and lifestyle factors.

This is always a major challenge in these types of studies. It's useful research - but it often ends up as a news headline "doing X is a factor in Death." Which is often misleading.
For instance, no one would care about medical privacy if employers and insurance companies didn't take actions on medical conditions.

I do, and so do many other people. It's very common, even in situations where employers and insurance companies aren't a consideration, for people to keep medical issues to themselves. It's common for people to present a more healthy version of themself to the world, even if asked.

People will call into these things and go on about all the puss and lesions and other disgusting things they have, because that's considered acceptable in that context. But normally people would be mortified if that information got out.

That sounds like selection bias. What proportion of the population wouldn't phone in?

> All of the memory you describe for other purposes is allocated at user level and booked to processes.

No, they aren't. A microkernel is responsibe for basic thread management and IPC. Both of which are highly dynamic in nature.

You seem to be confusing the system that decides when to make a scheduling decision (userspace process - although still part of the microkernel project, so still included in all this anyway), with the system that actually executes that decision (the microkernel itself). And in the case of systems like QNX the kernel will even do its own decisions independent of the scheduler service, such as switching the active thread on MsgSend.

But whether or not it's in ring0 or ring3 is independent of whether or not it's part of a microkernel. A microkernel delegates responsibility to ring3 processes, but those processes are part of the microkernel system - they are in fact a very critical aspect of any microkernel project, as without them you end up building a bootloader with aspirations of something bigger than a kernel.

It's sad to see that a working computer has become obsolete in only 10 years, and while I will probably continue use Apple products I feel like there something _wrong_ with this. That's one of the reason I am worried about buying an apple watch. Obsolescence.

All in all I get it and I know that it'll probably pay off for them, just like it did with the dvd player removed, but it'll take time (for me) to get used to the fact that, at least on the apple ecosystems, things last more than usual, but they also become useless more than usual.
