This IS censorship, and is FAR more dangerous than anything Jones has ever said. Even if you don't agree with Jones, you should still fight against this attack on free speech. It is an attack. Today it's the right getting censored, but if it's allowed, it will soon be a much broader spectrum of people. It will be used to control the public, by censoring out truth's, and pushing lies. If you let them control what you choose to read, they will control you!

For those who enjoy music - if you take dance lessons until you get comfortable dancing, dancing smoothly to music you like greatly intensifies the enjoyment of the music.

Bobbing and swaying to the music also increases the enjoyment, but doing a structured dance with a partner cranks it up to 11.

> What exactly is the usability improvement from hiding part of the domain name?

Quite simply the www subdomain is confusing and unnecessary. See comment from the ISP admin I cited re: user training.

> Maybe we should be hiding ".com" because that's trivial too? Better yet, why show "google" at all if from the page it's clear you're on Google?

Those aren't really serious counterexamples. ".com" is obviously not trivial; there are plenty of TLD variants in use. It is approximately 0.0000000001% as common to run separate HTTP servers on example.com and www.example.com. And clearly different domains can spoof one another's content so that's not a way to be "clear" you're on google.com, whereas this is not generally an issue with subdomains.

Again your reaction is just sort of knee-jerk exaggerated resistance to change, not actual real world problem cases.
This might not be an improvement.

If they can no longer turn you over to the authorities, they may feel compelled to gather a mob. A large part of the reason why we have criminal law is to suppress people's urge to take things into their own hands. When the legal system is unsatisfying, people turn to more instinctive methods of dealing with things.

At least the authorities were unlikely to torture you to death.

These days I'll take anything short-term, even remote.

For a long-term career I have the education & work experience prerequisites for New Zealand's Skilled Migrant Category, Australia's 186, and Canada's Express Entry.

In the past, I did two remote contracts (Pixelgarde and AnswerTo), but in both cases the employer reached out to me first. I'm not really sure how to find jobs. My résumé is here:

War and Pest Control
It's a bit weird they are especially concerned about the exact size this type of discriminated union anyways, since the primary use is to be used on the one-at-a-time on the stack, which is one of the cases where space often does not translate directly into runtime cost (unless say if you are packing a lot of them into the array).

Sometimes there is no "space" cost at all (at least in memory) for ABIs which allow the full union to be passed back in registers. Currently the x86 ABI allows you to pass two pointer-sized things back without using the stack at all (in RDX:RAX in x86 code), which I suspect aligns purposely with their requirement that the error struct be not bigger than two machine words.

I think a bit of what is happening here is that the C++ committee can't change the ABI: that is platform specific, not part of the standard and not in their purview. What they can do is introduce a new type of call which would have to be accommodated by the existing ABIs and this presents an opportunity to add this boolean-value-in-flag-register to the ABIs which have to be updated anyways.
Twitter bans Alex Jones and Infowars for abusive behaviour
You can still see the full URL by focusing the address bar with either a click or ⌘-L.

I think it makes sense for the default display to show the most security-relevant information (TLD, SLD, and presence + validity of the certificate) in the default display, while deferring the full display (incl. spurious or malicious information that might be in the full URL e.g. https://example.com/www/paypal/com/login) to a user request (click or shortcut).

That said, Chrome 69's decision to to hide /all/ instances of www in the domain is unconscionably bad.
>in a perfect world this would be the case every time you build something.

Yet the same people who hate devs spending time on refactors also laugh when you give them a six month estimate for feature X. I think "perfect" is "good enough" in this context. "Good enough" is always preferable to "non existent yet theoretically perfect".
Nice work! Really love the concept.
Don't Steal Money from Day Traders Before They Lose It
Firefox focus isn't firefox, though, it's a private-browsing-only browser, and it's built on an entirely different engine (chromium, iirc). There's no tabs, history, saved logins, or anything else. It's far from being a full-featured browser. Want to disable javascript or images for a while because you're on data? Too bad, you can't.
If I asked any non-technical person under the age of 20 the difference between www.google.com and google.com they probably couldn't tell me. Users expect www.example.com to equal example.com. If a website isn't redirecting one to the other, they, are doing something that is incredibly anti-user and it is a good thing that google/apple are forcing them to do it different.
Some of their attacks involve stealing money, but not all of them. Regardless, that argument is circumstantial at best. Look at the report https://www.operationblockbuster.com/wp-content/uploads/2016... . There was re-use of malware, C&C infrastructure, and RSA certificates, that is hard evidence.
Some sites look absolutely terrible on a wide monitor when they are designed for a narrow mobile screen.
The comment you are responding to (mine) literally cites this answer:

"As an ISP, we often have to go to great lengths to teach users that 'www.domain.com' and 'domain.com' are two different domains"

It takes only a little bit of thought and empathy with the common user to imagine how this could be confusing. Are you supposed to type in www with every site? Why did it not work when I typed it in? Etc... It's just confusing and unnecessary.
Ohhhh holy cow I never realized Google might want to encourage this. Thanks!
I think the subtitle is much more informative:

> Boiler room guys knew customers were going to lose their money, so they allegedly spent it themselves.

But it was also illegally long.
No one? Buying a larger house than you can afford tomorrow sucks away from real investments. The honest truth on home ownership would help everyone but real estate agents.
I'm in the opposite boat from you.

Firefox on Android is nice, especially thanks to being able to install an ad blocker.

Firefox on my desktop literally brings my entire machine to its knees, and destroys performance in all other apps that are open.

Pulling that off while not even getting close to maxing out the CPU is rather impressive. :/
Sometimes, there is value in it being obvious that the people attacking you are in the wrong.

It may be a tragedy for that individual, but sometimes it helps the rest of society go WTF? and give more push back. Kind of like when that girl was brutally raped and murdered in Turkey and the men rose up and posted pictures of themselves on social media in mini skirts to protest the idea that a girl in a mini skirt was "asking for it."

Sometimes, when the people attacking you and ruining you are too polite and proper in how they shit all over you, it's harder to fight than if they are clearly brutal and horrible in their mistreatment of you.

This one is closer to 250 pages and 5.5 hour audiobook. I wouldn't recommend it myself. Not much unexpected happens and it's kind of an inevitable slog to an unavoidable end.

Wow... that is really strange. If you're wanting to apply but can't, you can just email me your resume and explain this is happening in your email. Apologies about that.
This is a great point; AMD has had chips for quite a while, but only just announced a TensorFlow release that can use them, and it's a binary release, rather than them successfully upstreaming their changes.

Expression equality is handled by https://github.com/kisonecat/math-expressions using a few heuristics, which is necessary because Richardson's theorem says this problem is undecidable. The main trick is to regard the expressions as complex-valued functions, find a point where the value is (nearly) equal, and then check for numerical equality in a neighborhood. (Doing this over the complex plane addresses the problem that many common expressions like sqrt(small number-x^2) have a restricted domain over the reals).

We rely on unit tests from Chris Sangwin (who wrote the textbook _Computer Aided Assessment of Mathematics_) to ensure that we're adjudicating expression equality mostly correctly.
Fortunately, it's trivial to toggle this setting in the Safari preferences--and then the full URL will appear by default.
I feel like you formed a conclusion based on your incorrect knowledge of the name of the company. Now that's been corrected, and your error highlighted, you're doubling down rather than admitting you made a mistake.
Welp I responded to the wrong comment. Sorry for the noise!
The op-ed was written by a senior member of the executive branch, so I’m not sure how that has any bearing on what’s being discussed here.
If you're doing brain dead admin work sure.

My impression was that the discriminant would be "as if" it's there, but it wouldn't actually be allocated, or at least its allocation can be avoided if there is a sentinel success value for the error case (0 -> success, not-0 -> failure and the specific value indicates what type of failure).
You seem to be reaching there, jumping to conclusions that she was terrified of getting fired. How do you tell all that from just someone being apologetic?
> 1. $14 / hour? The median household (yes, I know, household, but wait) income is the highest it's been since at least 1985 [1] at $59k/year. So $14 is definitely a bit lower than "normal".

If we take that household income to mean it's two earners, they're each earning $14.75/hr ...

(assuming a standard 2000 work year), which is 40 hrs/wk for 50 weeks
> A large part of the reason why we have criminal law is to suppress people's urge to take things into their own hands

Well, yes, but largely by criminalizing taking things into your own hands (and enforcing that prohibition), whether or not those things are cognizable as crimes.

If your notional government is unable to constrain lynch mobs, and you are hated, then you are going to be subject to them whether or not the conduct which motivates antipathy toward you is legally cognizable as a crime, so you don't actually benefit from it being criminalized.

Before the US managed to get lynching under control, the fact that targets were charged with crimes (or actually detained in jail waiting trial for them) did not stop then from being lynched, often with the cooperation of public authorities.
The next time someone uses the phrase "political correctness", replace it in the sentence with "treating people with dignity" and re-read it.
Oh, so unskilled employees shouldn't be so entitled as to want the protection of unions (etc.)... but also unions are bad for them? Come on.

Workers of any skill level are "owed" whatever they can get, because that's the same ethic employed by their employers.
You're getting downvoted because it's a message people dont want to hear.

We have advanced our standard of living, but haven't kept up our standard of responsibility. Our parents/grandparents didnt have videogame consoles, laptops, phones, coffee besides cheap store drip, meals out more than 1x per month, tattoos, anything from a spa etc. All of those were likely dumped into home equity (owning your home was the predecessor to diversified assets in retirement savings).

Another thing that hasn't helped is the government has been printing money like crazy, playing a mind game that means even though you make 2x when you started your career, you might actually be really earning less. For example, my earnings have gone up about 6x across my career, but my rent has gone up 10x...
That the safety mechanisms in your examples depend only of knowledge of the object's own mechanisms or generic "other things". For example, your garage door opener reverses when it encounters resistance from anything. It's not that it only reverses when there is one of a specific list of car models that are in its way, and continues to try to close when there is a human in its way or some other type of vehicle or thing. It'll work even if a new type of thing that never existed before gets in its way.

It's also different in that it doesn't limit the products functionality when it thinks that you want to make an exception to its primary purpose. A garage door opener is not going to refuse to open when you're trying to come in with a vehicle on fire.

A webserver serves files, and inside .git/ are files. You ask it to serve them, then its going to serve them. That you didn't realize you were coming into the garage with a vehicle on fire is no reason for the garage door opener to be required to implement a security mechanism for that very specific thing when there's loads more you could do without realizing.
Take a look at my comment history. This is not a throwaway account :)

And for what it's worth, I don't doubt you at all. Like I said, I fully believe you are as incredible as you say. But not all of us can so easily obviate the work of entire firms staffed with hundreds of people employed to improve their trading results. You should count yourself lucky!
I consider that all the time, but people I work with often have no idea I spend most of my time in another timezone.
I think this is exactly right. All the letters of the name are important and cannot be left off. If people want to equate www.domain to domain they can put a 301 redirect on the www address but the browser has no business making assumptions about what the owner of the name space thinks are equivalent.
The last time (winter 2017) we did a hackfest outside of Libre Graphics Meeting, we introduced a bunch of improvements to layers' blending and compositing, improved color management, improved the PSD loader/exporter, improved menu structure, introduced painting on transparent layers in modes other than Normal (which is _huge_ for painters), and introduced

This is going to be a problem weather or not Chrome changes www.example.org to example.org. There is a _very_ non-trivial chance the person was going to write down example.org anyways.
I've seen the term "neutered" used to describe this. Like, "The test environment is a neutered version of production. It won't make POST or PUT calls to our partner databases"
Fixed costs have gotten too high, and these prices are inelastic. I think the only way to fix it is wage inflation across the board.
And how does this break SNI? It's just a UI change.
"Export As" vs "Save As" ... Almost any program that can "export" to multiple formats uses "Save As" for the display. This is just one example. And while I appreciate the nuanced nature, and frankly in this case could go either way. When you combine all the options/features Gimp is by far the hardest image ui I've used.

My favorite was probably PaintShop Pro before 10, and second is probably Paint.Net (if it had a few more features). A simple, easy to use interface with the majority of features really accessible. Gimp offers so much more, though frankly, it's about 10x as hard to use. I only do so when I want to do something that's difficult in Paint.Net or Krita.

I want to like it, I want to use it... that said, If you had a few users who like other software use it, nobody I know would choose Gimp over other tools as a preference. I don't always like changes that are made to an application I've used for a while, and can understand resistance from Gimp developers and users. It doesn't matter, sometimes convention should win, sometimes making things easier means change, and sometimes making things consistent means an inferior technical choice.
Was just going to ask this. Wish there were more of these tools all around, because I bet a lot of experts have developed intuitive pictures of their own that would be good to convey directly. A big barrier to mathematics is the abstraction cost of the language. In many cases mathematical expressions are fine, but not always in mathematical physics.
Wow, if this actually gets released, might be the final straw to get me to switch off Chrome.
I think a lot of next generation chips are not just squeezing more compute into hardware, but examining whether we can change the nature of neural net compute ro better fit what we can do in hardware. That's Graphcore's pitch at least. And plenty of people are looking into whether you can do non-IEEE754 math in a way that works for compute, e.g. FP16, quantized arithmetic, etc.

You probably don't need the entire team to be familiar with the math, but someone has to be.

And as other comments have noted, Software is actually going to be a very big deal.
How is that any different from grocery stores asking everyone if they have a reward card, clothing stores asking if you have their credit card, McDonald's asking if you want to super-size that, or bartenders being required to offer to upsell liquor?

It's extremely common for cashiers to be required to ask if customers are part of whatever program is relevant, if they would like the current promotion, etc. Nobody's going to get fired for forgetting once... but if you're reminded repeatedly by management and you continue not to, then what would you expect to happen?
Let's see what happens in a decade.

My concern with this is that this will only accelerate the probability that Amazon Go merges with Whole Foods to have a cashier-free experience.

>Shoppers, however, have saved millions as a result of the shake-up.

This is why you're going to have a tough time getting sympathy from the public, and why I think (for better or worse) Amazon will win the PR battle. The average person now has access to healthier grocery / purchasing options as Whole Foods pricing has come down. If prices go up, they'll just switch to Walmart or some other cheaper option - leading to WF losses, and even more layoffs.
Gonna insert my anecdata here.

"no millennials" is just wrong. I'm a millennial (Though just barely, born in '82), and I fully expect to retire by 67, possibly by 65, and if markets do well, maybe even 62, and I didn't even begin saving for retirement until 3 years ago.

I always question how many millennials complaining about student loan debt either didn't actually finish their degree, or they got a degree that doesn't lead to gainful employment due to lack of research before choosing a major, or they let themselves be bullshitted by some university's marketing and wayyyyy overpaid for their degree.

Certainly millennials have the deck stacked against them, but with proper planning, they can be successful.
Penny-wise and pound foolish. I can't imagine you are so big that $1/day/user is meaningful and less cost effective than spending an hour on your internal system a week.
I think this is a fair comment but Chrome has been doing this a lot lately. They'll make a change and developers must scramble to fix their websites.

It's the same with autocomplete earlier this year. One day Google decides to ignore autocomplete="off" and all hell breaks lose.

Interesting to note, they have reverted this change. Google now respects autocomplete="off" in some scenarios (i.e. when autofill is not triggered via name attribute).

Note: autocomplete !== autofill
They are. See my comment below for an example from GIMP's latest hackfest.
The concern is not the output of the sun, but energy moving in an unplanned (and unplannable fashion).

In other words, solar panels shade ground that would have been sunned. Windmills change atmospheric differential pressure by removing windspeed.

The best case scenario is these changes are negligible, but that is a luck-based result. We have no idea because global climate is not effectively modelable.

Then turn it off.
"www" was not a marketing trick, it was legitimately a different domain, by convention. General users never understood it, so companies started to have to add it to match their weird expectations.

To associate a base domain with a company identity happens to be true MOST of the time, but isnt actually true. Plus, foo.example.com follows different security rules than bar.example.com (CORS, certs, etc)

The problem here is that the precise domain has a technical meaning...but consumers are using it for a different meaning. Once that is also useful BUT NOT THE SAME.

Pretending the url matches this new meaning (and altering the display to match) serves both groups poorly.
You can either see this as "I can't afford to retire" or as "I've let my spending get out of control, and need to course-correct".

If you ever hope to retire, you must reign in your lifestyle creep versus your real post-savings available income. If you're not saving enough, you are living above your means. This is fixable, but it will hurt.

That said, most retirement calculators overestimate your retirement expenses. Estimate what your expenses will be and plan for that. (And treat interest as inflation-adjusted so you don't end up down that rabbit-hole)
I would also agree that in general, there is certainly room to grow in dataset discovery. However, that will require a drastic improvement in the metadata associated with many (most?) datasets, which I think is probably a large contributor to discovery difficulty.

Regarding your data, at an individual level, it will be very difficult to find that information publicly available, for the simple reason that the organizations that have that information (US Census, IRS) are under extremely strict privacy-preservation requirements whose goal is to prevent exactly these types of linkages.

You could instead try an analysis on aggregated data, i.e. correlations between (zip, average age, average household size) and (zip, average income) tuples. That data is available: [0, 1]
