>The change was made for them, not for you

Except, those same users also don't care about things in the address bar. So the change hurts the group of users that actually do care.
That seems like an edge case worth submitting a separate bug for.
Heaviside and von Neumann are probably not eligible. There's no Nobel Prize in math, which more or less rules out von Neumann. Heaviside developed a lot of tools still used in electrical engineering, but there isn't a Nobel Prize in that either. And Heaviside's work was notorious for its lack of rigor, which caused him to lose out on a lot of recognition.

But Shannon... information theory is an Important Tool in physics. It led Stephen Hawking to predict Hawking Radiation, which was important for understanding black holes. And it has a lot of other uses in physics as well. He'd be eligible, I think. But it's still a marginal case; information theory, itself, isn't physics. It's still math.
If you're worried about getting in trouble for some HTTPS or DNS traffic then why would you trust this? Someone snooping on your traffic could see you generating traffic that looks incriminating.

If you're not worried about getting in trouble for some HTTPS or DNS traffic then why would you use this?

In short I don't understand the use case for this script. Anyone analyzing your traffic looking for specific DNS requests or specific SNIs will still see them.
If the startup is incorporated, then you're working for the corporation, not for "yourself."
Safari doesn't show you the url at all until you click either; so the URL bar is just a domain indicator -- in that case, it seems less objectionable that it doesn't show the FQDN, but instead something different -- copying the url from a screenshot was bound for disappointment anyway.

Look into arbitrage betting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbitrage_betting

The basic idea is you bet on every possible outcome of a match (win/lose/draw) with different bookies offering different odds that cover each other.

Evaluating the replicability of social science experiments between 2010 and 2015
Because it's different than pretty much all other modern software. Nearly all other software you follow you click on things to select them. Shift click or Ctrl click to add to your selection. Once something is selected you can move it. Even here in this browser I'm using the write this comment I can select some text, if I then drag the selection it moves, if I right click, ctrl click a bunch of options appear related to what I selected. The menu options also affect the selection.

Blender is pretty much the only program I use of the 100s I have that doesn't follow this UI pattern so I can't take all the knowledge of the other 100s of apps I use and apply that knowledge to blender. Even limiting to just 3D programs I can figure out Maya, 3DSMax, Cinema 3D, DAZ etc just by doing what I do in all other software. Select stuff and then see what my options are. Blender though doesn't follow these rules. You can't just explore. You absolutely have to read the manual to even just load, select, move, and save. Something I can do in all other software without a manual.
if the idea is to protect users so that you don't end up clicking on https://news.ycombinator.com.myhackerdomain.com , you then open the attack of a platform where they offer custom subdomains, and you have

https://original.blogger.com

and then

https://fake-original.blogger.com

if I make them look the same, and the address will hide the subdomain, it looks like a step backwards in securing the web

now, imagine the actual platform has a payment section, and I create a fake subdomain that looks pretty similar, email you, boom, I get your cc info because I tricked you into entering new cc info (assuming your scenario of someone being distracted)

I'm much more okay with Safari's implementation, because it's significantly more discoverable. Safari also makes it much simpler to disable this behavior altogether, with it earning a place in the settings ... rather than being behind some "flag" that may disappear in some future release.
From Autoencoder to Beta-VAE
Until a few releases down the line and it is decided for you that the flag should be removed.
Agreed. After getting it pounded into my head in the military, I drink tons of water a day.

It is ok to point out facts from the article. We just try not to go overboard with it. I know it might seem pedantic, but over time it really does result in a better community.
Virtually anyone coming from Photoshop with basic knowledge of the app uses adjustment layers. You can add a layer that applies filters to a mask that leaves the layers beneath untouched. They're incredibly powerful. It's rare I have a project that doesn't use them, and it's among the reasons I wouldn't even consider using GIMP for anything new, despite wishing I could use the app.
>> Where possible avoid simply using "id" as the primary identifier for the table.

> I wonder what is the reasoning behind this? To escape the ambiguity during joins?

Most justifications center around the "USING" clause which can only be used on matching column names:

select user_id,
username,
comment

from users
inner join
comments using (user_id);

Versus `on user.id = comments.user_id`.

The argument against this is that the USING clause really mucks up the result set columns by unifying those that match the USING clause.
I was just looking at the URL bar in firefox and thinking yea, I know it's ycombinator.com because it's right there, and there's a big green lock on the left.

Google can do what they want with Chrome, as far as I'm concerned it's the new IE.

I don't understand your argument, unlike "http://" the www subdomain had no real technical implication, it's just a common naming choice for web servers.

The odds of splitting the pot are calculated in my spreadsheet. In the first scenario, that decreases the EV from 2.15 to 1.11.
> eating protein

My impression is that you have to be running a major caloric deficit to worry about protein sufficiency (barring an incredibly strange diet), so you may be able to simplify your dietary guidelines even further.

ETA: e.g. brown rice, russet potatoes, and whole wheat bread all have approx the same %DV of protein as they do calories.
Yeah, but even before that there were things you might call a "security key" (but which most people called "hardware tokens") that just displayed a single TOTP-like code; if you talk to enterprise people about security keys, those SecurID tokens might be what they're thinking about.

Yeah, the Kelly Criterion is a good thing to explore in situations like this. If there's (truly) positive EV, you still should only spend a certain percentage of your bankroll on the bet. And if the bet has high payoff and low odds, your bankroll likely has to be astronomical in order for the bet to be a good decision.
His later video where in the outro he mentions about going sponsor-free is the one that made me tear up

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rB83DpBJQsE&feature=youtu.be...

Here's a little bit of quote from the video:

=====

So... typically this is the part where there might be some kind of
sponsor message. But one thing I want to do with the channel moving
ahead is to stop doing sponsored content, and instead make things just
about the direct relationship with the audience.

I mean that not only in the sense of the funding model, with direct
support through Patreon, but also in the sense that I think these
videos can better accomplish their goal if each one feels like it's
just about you and me sharing in a love of math, with no other motive,
especially in the cases where viewers are students.

=====

He's really a good person. I'm glad that now he is able to do this full-time by just the support from his patreon.
I'm a fan of the cross modal congruence school of thought here. In which experiences in one sense are similar in structure to experiences in another sense, imparting them meaning. For example, "Flight of the Bumblebee" by Rimsky-Korsakov (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M93qXQWaBdE), in which the franticness of the notes/rhythm have a similar variance and speed to what you see visually when watching a bee fly around. Or maybe even what you imagine the bee's internal thought process would be like.

I'm not sure if "cross modal congruence" is an actual term people use however, someone correct me if you know a more accurate label.
How could such a tiny change have such an outsized impact on the site? “That same story happened so many different times,” my old boss David told me. “Someone launched a small, relatively innocuous change that did one of the millions of unexpected things it could have done, which then happened to break some part of the site, and then bring it all down—sometimes bring it down to the point where we couldn’t recover it for hours.”

Preventing this is one of the basic motivations of functional programming. If a function is "referentially transparent" or "pure" it can't do anything unexpected. It seems to me this is the only reasonable way we can reason about software at scale.
This makes me glad I use Firefox and have dropped chrome entirely.

This is actually a lot harder than it sounds. You can CNAME www, but you can't CNAME your apex (some DNS providers pretend you can, they will resolve your CNAME for you and provide A/AAAA records to recursive resolvers -- but if you wanted to CNAME to a DNS based load balancer, that doesn't really work)
Let's dumb down the internet even more because non technical users feel confused. Maybe we can actually remove the url field and just let the isp decide where they should go? They could offer a choice of 10 popular sites, like TV channels.. :)
Building on that point, everyone I ever meet who's not technical is www-by-default, because they were trained that way...
According to the PSL their list is also used for this purpose in Internet Explorer, but not other browsers.

(The Public Suffix List is the Mozilla project that knows .co.uk isn't the same kind of thing as .google.com even though they both have two DNS labels. These days every non-crap browser uses it to restrict cross domain cookies but they aren't consistent when it comes to other features)
Stupid crap like that is one of the reasons why Chrome isn't my primary browser.
Is this specific to a version of Firefox, or an extension?

I'm using Firefox 62.0, and I do not see a difference in color between the domain and the rest of the URL.

(Windows 10, 1080p screen.)

ETA: Holy crap, if I zoom into a screenshot, I can see the difference. My eyes cannot benefit from this feature under normal circumstances, though. Looks like black (#000000) and gray (#807D7D).
Airbags have utility for 100% of motor vehicle users.
So this has been down voted twice, but with no further comments.

I find the statement to be a rather interesting piece of logical jujitsu that I use often - if you believe it not to be applicable in this case (or possibly at all) would you care to explain why? I would be interested in hearing your opinions.
I'm ok with hiding "www.", but it also hides "m." which is sometimes very confusing (I once opened a m.facebook.com link and was very puzzled why it uses the mobile site when the URl bar just shows "facebook.com").
You're missing jwr's point. He's arguing that this is harmful for users, especially the ones who don't know what the words mean.

If I were solving this, I'd instead push to eliminate "www" altogether, not sweep it under the rug. It was useful circa 1996, when users might plausibly be using something other than the WWW with a browser. But it has become entirely vestigial.

Additionally, if this flag ever goes away, the "kFormatUrlOmitTrivialSubdomains" is the internal flag for this, it seems[1], though its description says it's "Not in kFormatUrlOmitDefaults"[2].

Back when they removed the "http:" off of URLs, I used to use a hex editor to turn the kFormatUrlOmitHTTP bit flag off every time I got a new build, so I'd get the URL formatting I wanted, but eventually lost the mental wherewithal to continue the hack every week.

mitmproxy is what you need. I've installed it on a Raspberry Pi that then acts as a hotspot. mitmproxy allows me to see every bit of data that is being put on the wire. All telemetry, pings, contacts, and more being transmitted home (respective of encryption). A transparent proxy is essential if you want to deep drive into what the apps on your network are actually doing.
It does? How so?
Bridges have lifespans and need constant maintenance.

One of my first tasks as an intern at the Army Corp Of Engineers was to create 6 inspection packets (copies of every part) of the cape cod canal bridge, which was being inspected.

I know the tappan-zee bridge was replaced because the old one was just too old (designed to last 50 years, it was replaced at over 60 years).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tappan_Zee_Bridge_(1955–2017)#...

One of the reason I left the engineering profession is no one wants to pay for it so it gets "deferred". The US's bridges get a c+ according to the American Society Of Civil Engineers.

https://www.infrastructurereportcard.org/cat-item/bridges/

I'm also a little curious why the cables were wrapped in concrete. Steel cables are common on bridges. stability side to side? Concrete is not great in tension (steel is very good in tension). As the article indicates, it was potentially hiding some of the cable corrosion, making the situation worse.

> Amazing how a relatively niche product like this can have such a huge valuation. Shows how big the market is.

Is PagerDuty exactly "niche"? The core product - providing a third-party system that handles the mechanics of paging people during a production issue - is something that virtually all software companies could use, in theory.

It's hard to think of a SaaS company that's less niche than Pagerduty (again, focusing on the market size of the core product, not the actual market penetration or the current state of the product).

Probiotics used incorrectly can have mixed results; and thus, there will be endless religious debates on the matter.

If the reason you are taking them is to cull dangerous bacteria such as H.pylori, you would first have to bring their numbers down to a point where the probiotics have a fighting chance. This is typically either done with anti-biotics, or a combination of supplements such as aged garlic, mastic gum, coconut oil, etc... to first kill things off. Then after taking the probiotics, the candida overgrowth has to be purged with garlic extract. Very few people will take the time to go through the right steps throughout the days/weeks required to balance things out. This lends itself to a wide variability in results.

But the original title doesn’t even come close to the character limit. "How the EU will force all artists to use Youtube, forever" is 57-characters-long while the submission limit is 80.

Because they are on www. and not *.

What happens when you copy and paste that URL?

Now every single website that wants to support Chrome needs to ensure that https://foo.com is always redirected to https://www.foo.com, or at least works as if it's www. It doesn't matter that most websites already do this, it's not standard, and represents Google breaking standards because they are big enough to do their own thing.

It's just one of the 1000s of papercuts that google is inflicting to keep users from switching web browser.
I had chronic I.B.S. for many years, which I talk about here way too much.

Basically I used to poop my pants weekly and couldn't work in an office.

Probiotics and keeping my eating to an 8 hour window (Intermittent Fasting) basically solved the issue for me.

However it makes sense to me that probiotics wouldn't do anything for someone who already has healthy gut bacteria.
One has to say, that Yubico website is Da Crap! Half of my screen filled with informational void, no comparison table of the products, no easy place, to learn why there is so many different keys, why I can not have a Nano with FIDO2 and so on and so on...

It made me really aggressive and I was happey, when I left it. Too much sales pitch, too little info.
"hardware"
This is a fair point. A possible counterpoint is that one can draw a line at malware. A fairly strong argument can be made that controlling popups is an exceptional security measure that is the only way, or the most effective way, to control the spread of objectively dangerous software. It is also a matter of UI - popups could appear faster than a human could control them, so it makes sense to make popups opt-in (which they are).

No similar argument can be made about disabling "www." It is purely an opinionated decision amounting to "you don't need www" - assuming it's not a bug, of course.

I personally think this come down to your relationship with your client. If they are normally causing you issues with always being on your case about deadlines, getting stuff to them etc. I would recommend keeping this to yourself.
But if they are usually supportive it would not be a bad idea to explain why you would be less available. But as the others said it's your company, run it like you want!

While I appreciate the intent of this and other "chaff" tools, I can't help but think ten years from now I'll be seated under a single 200W light bulb hanging from a string while some federal official with 100,000 printed out pages of logs sneers at me saying "and then on December 10th of 2023 you visited www.elderlydogswhosquirt.com.
