I use Safari 11 as my primary browser. This is promising:

> Safari’s Intelligent Tracking Prevention managed to mitigate all third-party cookies to a tracking domain, apart from redirects. However, we found that future completeness can be undermined by having this option disabled for even a short interval. Third-party cookies set in this interval by tracking domains, which otherwise would have been prevented, will still be included in cross-site requests after enabling the option again, identical to the results when the option is disabled. Luckily, this option is enabled by default, so future completeness can only be affected through explicit disabling by the user.

I'd also like to know whether that applies to iOS, but the paper didn't perform any mobile browser testing.

That said, every so often I view my stored cookies and I'm always shocked at the number of domains that I've never heard of that have stashed cookies. :-(
Thank you!

Currently when someone hits the button 20 times a sec or hits it every second for 2min our algorithm finds out and highlights the suspicious area. The user can decide to exclude the data or not. Not 100% reliable but we’re experimenting a lot. So I call it beta feature. :)
A professor friend notes a similar dynamic in grant applications. Certain big philanthropic groups only have bandwidth to look at grants that are >=$1M -- with predictable effects (grants balloon, the amount of time spent thinking about how to spend each marginal dollar asymptotes to zero, etc.).
> Does no one at any level of the military (excepting perhaps the Commander-in-Chief) bear any responsibility for the horrors of war?

Yes, responsibility for the horrors of war. But not the decision to declare war.
The disposable ballpoint pens that hotel chains typically provide (along with a small notepad, next to the telephone in your room) are a bit different than the sort that are available in office-supply stores. I prefer the hotel ones, as they feel better in your hand (due to the nicer texture of the plastic, I think). The one I happen to have in my pocket at the moment is from Marriott; looking in my laptop case, there's one from Hampton Inns, and another from the Chambers Hotel (which isn't even a chain). They are all more translucent than the Bics I have lying around, and the branding is ink-only, with no embossing (unlike the Bics, which also help hand-feel). I've been casually looking to buy this sort of ballpoint for years, rather than having to pilfer them piecemeal, but haven't found them anywhere (brick-and-morter / on-line, low-end / high-end, and even various suppliers of branded promotional tchotchkes that are given out at trade shows). Anybody out there know what the story is on this? Who actually makes them, and why won't they sell me any?
This reminds me of an article on Ars Technica a couple of years ago:

> but I have to admit that if someone broke into my house I would prefer to have one than not.

Someone actually has broken into my home, when I was there, and I am profoundly grateful that I, and probably the burglar, didn't have a gun available.

It didn't even cross my mind to arm myself with a weapon. I offered him a cup of tea. I told him I had nothing of value in the flat, and that it'd be safer for him to come down from the loft and leave by the front door than to climb down the scaffolding of the building next door (which is how he got in). He declined the tea, and decided to leave via the scaffolding. I called the police, and they found him in the garden of the house next door. He pulled a beer bottle on them, they subdued and arrested him.

Guns and weapons would have made this mildly stressful situation hugely worse.
> Moreover, "firearms used in self defense" practically mean more dead people even if the defense was "successful".

You appear to be assuming that using a firearm in self-defense means killing in self-defense. If that is your position (I apologize if I'm misinterpreting you), I am not convinced you are correct. Many uses of firearms in self-defense are brandishing only; and even if a firearm is discharged in self-defense, it is not a given that it kills the original aggressor.
You can't actually accomplish that without making the language really complicated.

Wow! You are right! Nobody is entitled to anyone's labor! We should make sure we let the capitalists who use the labor of everyone around them to extract profits.
I didn't know they had an event. That makes your comment one of the more substantive comments here.

But what is your explanation for them having an event specifically for female founders if not the logic I outlined above that some groups need to be clearly signaled that they are equally welcome too?
> mixing Latin grammar with English is doomed to be an exercise in futility

I agree. When thinking about the use of "proper" English, I find myself conflicted.

One the one hand, I truly believe that languages evolve, and it's silly to put any one particular version of English on a pedestal. That includes the version(s) one might associated with English speakers who are well-educated and/or wealthy.

On the other hand, I was raised to speak "proper" English, because my father believed that it strongly affects others' first impressions of the speaker's intelligence. I think my father was right about that, although I'm still undecided about how much it matters, and whether or not it's a concern worth catering to.
When I was at University, I worked for the Department of Annual Giving, at first on the phones. I still remember one of the other callers always starting her spiel with "We're calling all the alumnis." With an English plural on top of a Latin plural, for good measure, I suppose. I cringed every time.

(Though, to be fair, the native English word children is in fact a double plural as well. [The -re is plural, thus early/dialectal forms childer "child [pl.]", and then later with a plural -n slapped on top of the already plural word, presumably because the -re plural ending had become somewhat obscure, just as Latin plural endings are for some modern English speakers.] Doesn't make me cringe any less at "alumnis", despite that.)
> If you did nothing wrong then you have nothing to lose by unlocking your phone.

This is provably not true. In fact, you need to come up with evidence proving that there is NOTHING to lose by unlocking your phone.
umatrix with first-party scripts disabled had no problem.
Free but not compulsory, right? You don't need higher education for a lot of jobs and many people do not wish to attend college. I also think it's wrong to imply that people who haven't attended higher education can't "think for themselves". My 2 cents.
I honestly couldn't care less about search results in China.

Why aren't they protesting about their technology potentially being abused during election cycles in US? That is something that hits closer to home for me.

There is some element of YouTube (and maybe Google Search results) returning things and suggesting things that are intended to lead people towards whomever is paying for those things to float to the top.
Yeah, that's because it's not really supposed to be used for that. Every single one of these is solvable if they wanted to support this use case. Ad footprint and implementation effort - of course there'd be just a few major ones that'd be cached at client side. Ad2 implementation effort, we can simply compile Qt or Gtk to WASM; it even works today, it's just slow because of platform limitations. This'd be used for applications primarily, document-oriented pages could stay HTML/CSS and HTML/CSS could be simplified thanks to complex web apps turning to other means.

First thing to understand is that taxes for revenue is an obsolete concept and has been for a very long time.

The problem with mathematical analogies is that they tempt you to apply real mathematical definitions and theorems to the analogy and draw a conclusion. This is invalid because the analogy is not actually a statement within the original axiomatic system.

Plausible deniability. The system should allow two (or more) passwords, one unlocks only the important stuff and one unlocks much less dangerous stuff while destroying any evidence of the first, including the multiple passwords protection layer.
To add some credibility, the less dangerous data should contain something one could get in trouble for but not enough to have his life destroyed.
As an example, if after being forced to reveal a password my phone showed photos of myself having sex with a hooker, I don't think many prosecutors would believe I put them there to protect other more sensitive stuff that would ruin my entire life and not just my relationship. And if they did, I just served them with real proof of why I encrypted my phone which should be enough to counter their unfounded accusations.
I’m referring to all the unemployed and underemployed college graduates complaining about the debt they are in. Simplify transferring the debt somewhere else isn’t fixing anything, it is just shifting the drain on society. College is highly useful for some people, and not others. We should do more to make sure it is available to those who would benefit, and offer different things for those who prefer or need trade skills.

I agree with a lot of your points, but the way to increasing the base level of education isn’t through making all colleges free — it’s through investing in and making community colleges free.

Why? If we’re trying educate the entire populace instead of a few high achieving high schoolers, we should recognize that a majority of people can’t afford to up-end their lives, move far away, and spend 4 years getting a degree.

Community colleges, emphasis on the community term, would allow for people — local people — to educate themselves without drastically affecting their livelihoods. In this way, community colleges can also potentially act as job retraining facilities.

Note that I am slightly biased as a Californian.
Concepts like "socialism" and "unions" have sustained a relentless smear campaign orchestrated by the right for decades. The propaganda is so bad that it's probably worse to be labeled a socialist than to be labeled a pedophile in the USA.
Upvoted! Good to know that you’re feeling this way. As a German company our copywriter thought it would be funny.

In reality we’re doing many professional brand lift studies at the moment. We’ll change the example.
That's just Gnome's opinion. wlroots and KDE are working together to standardize these sorts of protocols, just in the past few months our screenshot and screen capture protocols began to stablize.
Interesting idea, and I think I suffer from the same thing. I just save stories to Pocket and read them later, I'm not sure if this email based delivery has many advantages over that?
Five things. Any more and I'd begin to lose track of subscriptions, or get less use from them while the money continues to flow.
So Gtk, Qt, Cocoa, Winforms, all of these are too hard to do? We can literally reuse (some of) these, all it takes is compiling them to WASM, it was already tried and it works, it's just slow due to current platform limitations.
The libuv API is not amateur, is all about flexibility. The example usage however is not optimal, it is just confused.

The option to dynamically alloc uv_loop_t is not to avoid "accidental copies" or anysuch thing. Is there for when you need to dynamically create loop contexts.

Linux does exactly the same thing. But you wont see unecesary kmallocs of structs when static storage is enough. In such cases you will see the *_init functions used.
Eh, my ideal would be like Europe's that gives you a stipend as well to cover room and board. Paying for housing is more than a full time job in a lot of places with universities (particularly the good ones), and ideally we'd want students to be focusing on their studies.
Yes but I'm comparing the average salary in SF to the salary OP received.
Every time I think about switching from MacOS to Windows I'm glad that I find a post like this that reminds me of how bad Windows is in comparison. I'll happily deal with a slow hardware refresh cycle from Apple if it means things actually work.

Ok. Do that first and I might support it. But the guaranteed loans for everyone system of today has not only inflated costs, it supports a bunch of worthless crappy schools. Go look at the list of universities in the US, and find the bottom 100. They are as offensive and wasteful as a $10,000 toilet seat.
It is a tremendous time sink, but I generally enjoy it. I don't spend a lot of time shooting up on Facebook, Instagram, etc. so I think on balance I'm largely okay.
> I really don't see the point in these excessively long flights either, you usually have to layover somewhere anyway, these ultra-long flights are most often to a hub like DOH or DXB, where you then need to connect to your final destination.

Not necessarily. I live in NYC, and the ~20 million people that live here in the metropolitan area with access to these three international airports definitely benefit from long non-stop flights directly to destinations of interest, like Hong Kong, Shanghai, Tokyo, Mumbai, Delhi, Seoul, Singapore, and Dubai. There are no non-stops to Australia quite yet (too far), but they're coming in a few years!

If you live in a big international city and want to go to another big international city, which is a common travel pattern, then these nonstops really are nonstop, no connecting flights necessary.
As we had seen from free education in most of Western Europe.
What exactly was the alternative?
Thanks! Today I use Excel to track my accounts, but I've been looking for alternatives... Now I'll evaluate your idea.
Presumably a combination of reanalysing "alumn-us", "alumn-i", etc. as "alum-nus", "alum-ni", etc. and a phonological preference/constraint against word-final /mnz/. And against /mn/ too: even English column is /ˈkɒləm/ and not /ˈkɒləmn/.
Agreed. Rooting for them but the number of battery and solar breakthroughs that don't get to market make it hard to get too excited on research + a pr push.
I agree. But that's not a product of free education.
I never wanted to "waste money" on a mac, but I feel like Apple takes user privacy seriously, and I'm genuinely considering making the switch from Windows just to support that practice. I dunno, maybe that's silly, but it seems like the whole world stopped caring about user security and privacy, and this is refreshing to see fairly consistently.
> allow replaceable cartridges for the auto-injector

I think the risk of reusing injection equipment is chance of infection. Also a more reasonable solution to the wastage is to do a long term study to extend the expiry date. The drug manufacturer don't do a long study because of the lost time plus potential extra sales.
I grew up in a couple different Christian traditions, and have known and spoken about this question with people with backgrounds, and/or who currently worship in many others. I have friends and family who follow every denomination from Catholic, to Lutheran, to Evangelical, between, and beyond.

The notions of Hell and damnation not uncommon, though certainly not universal, in the practice of Christianity, particularly among the laity.

Doctrinally, it's less overt, especially among the more liberal traditions, but even there (I'm specifically thinking of Episcopalian and Methodist lineages, here), it's not unheard of.

EDIT: ...in my experience.
Nice. Got a bite. Clearly you view the world as a zero-sum game. That's not reality. Reality is - I need help to get something done. You and I talk about you helping me get something done. You and I agree to exchange X value for Y labor. You get something of value and I get something of value. Nobody forced either of us into the agreement... we both did so freely. Wow. So right! So simple! Me like freedom. Me go eat waffle.
100% agree, and not the point i'm making.

I'm saying it will increase the average level of individual thinking, but not saying that it's a requirement. I'm simply saying those people that forgo schooling because it's not economically feasible for them, will have the ability to do so and thus one large factor in keeping people down is eliminated.
I wasn't aware that professors in Germany were unpaid. Or that the NHS was purely volunteer. Or that either countries had abolished private industry in either of those contexts.

Oh wait, no, it just turns out that the turning point-esque meme that socialized services equates to free labor is just absurd.
Ah, the beauty of the free market at work! This is an awesome accomplishment and I hope to see more things like this!
I'm not in a place where I can try that, right now. Let's see, later.
Hey, one of the contributors here. The initial target backend is Node, but in principle the main recording mode should work fine with any backend. It just needs to know what port to proxy to, and be told not to look for a server file: `brom 3000 -m`. You can run a server separately at that point.

The automated portion (-a) is strictly Express.js (off by default). Thanks for this question, I'll update the readme to be more explicit here while we continue testing against other backends.

At first glance, this reminds me of the quote "comparisons are odious". It works though, because it uses situations as input and output. Pretty much anything can be modeled as a function if you crystalize the input and the output.
Thanks for this reply! I was curious too, since I just spent the last few weeks working with an esp8266 on FastLED.

One type of shield/expansion I'd love to see for the Pixelblaze would be some sort of lipo charger and protection circuitry. My favorite esp8266 board has an integrated battery holder for an 18650, and I've found this to be my favorite way of powering all my projects!
"all written by people who were not, personally, the ones implementing them"

I don't think that's true. At least, all the browser standardization processes I've been involved in included several people who would be responsible for actual implementation.
Which is a quote that has absolutely no bearing whatsoever on the current situation. Nobody said anything about free speech.
Our initial idea was to make a real App Store/marketplace where app authors can publish apps themselves and optionally monetize. A marketplace has the usual catch-22 issue where we need to have enough users and publishers. So as a first step we have taken the app publish/update responsibility ourselves to get users on the platform. Once we have enough users, we will be in a position to work more closely with app authors.
I agree with your bit about prescriptions. However I don't think following "the SpaceX model" would be very useful (or even a good idea) here. A few reasons:
1) the housing and needle are dirt cheap to manufacture, and as you said, it's the patent that is expensive and replaceable cartridges wouldn't get around that
2) much of the safety of these things is the clear labeling around expiration and such
3) the risk of improperly replacing a cartridge far outweighs the benefit of reusing a bit of plastic
4) you could only replace un-used epi-pens, as replacing the needle sounds dangerous
> Most people do not subscribe fully or exclusively to the ideals embedded in the smart-tech utopian vision, yet they’ll have no choice but to live by those ideals.

All too true. The kinds of comment like "but they can just not use X" always appear in the context of Facebook/Google (often when they appear on HN). But that's like saying you should just "not use CCTV". I'm not a user of FB/Google/Smart Tech, it uses me, and when it is deployed pervasively, it becomes by definition, impossible to avoid. I can't stop my friends getting an Alexa / Siri / Google Home thing, so I can't help coming into contact with them.

We can't have it both ways. Making tech / apps / etc addictive or indispensable or "impossible to live without" (once you've had it a few weeks and so do your friends), and then asserting people can "just not use it" is contradiction 101. As a corpus of people, I think we engineers need to look much harder at the world we are building and the constraints / motivators that are causing us to do it.
I don't think doctor salaries are substantially lower in Canada.

This is fair. I'm saying all higher education, so if upending your life doesn't work for you, you could choose a local school or community college.

Also the regular admissions system would be in place, so higher achievers would still exclusively get into more prestigious schools, it's just that money won't be a factor.
I definitely have this.
If I were you, I'd try to ask someone at Canary or another swag producer to see if they can find a source for them as part of a larger order. Or see if there's a swag coordinator at the company where you work who has a relationship with a supplier who can get them from all the manufacturers. You can usually get a really wide range of obscure makes and models that way.
