I was a PD customer for about the same length of time at my last job, but I do recall a couple of 'innovations'. Incident timelines and incident tracking were pushed reasonably hard, and not at all anything I cared about.

Here's what I'm looking for as a user:

- primary / secondary escalations pulled from a single roster without overlaps
- add / remove people from roster without fucking up who's on call next

But it's pretty obvious they're more focused on listening to fence-sitters than paying customers. Which may be a viable strategy, considering their new valuation.
Sorry, I mistook "that is rendered from the domain" for "rendered from a resource from the domain".

However, teach users to read domain names! If users do not grasp the general concept, e.g., if the supposed identity is just "example" (possibly with some decoration considered insignificant) and not "example.com", how are they supposed to survive? Domains have been around for more than a quarter of a century, the Internet is actually part of our lives… There is no excuse, and there is no sense in pretending that there was no harm in not understanding the basics. That said, there are real ambiguities that have to be addressed.
I think Gordon Ramsey deserves better than to be grouped with Mr. Jones.

I haven't heard much from Milo Yiannopoulos since he was banned from Twitter and other platforms. I suspect Alex Jones has a similar future.
Every bit of it is done under the assumption that "freedom of speech only applies to the government", which is quite technically true. However, I don't really see how it would have been possible for the authors of the Constitution (since Twitter is a US company, and Alex Jones is a US citizen, it's within scope) to foresee that the greatest danger to freedom of speech would not be the government.

Honestly, we're probably at the point in our existence as a nation where we have the least freedom of speech. Sure, you can sit in a private conversion and say pretty much whatever you want. But, if you speak anywhere where the public can see it (even via private means), and you have an unpopular opinion, you have droves of people who try to shut you down. And it's not bad enough that they can get your access to your platform of choice revoked, some of these people will make it their life's mission to ensure that you lose your job or even worse become unemployable.

Look at what happened to Conor Daly after something his father said ten years prior to Conor's birth surfaced.

I'm waiting for the day when someone legitimately tries to argue that the rights of all of those descended from the Pilgrims should be taken away, since they took away the rights and land of Native Americans.

Huh, I guess that's what Donald Trump, Kushner and Deutsche Bank all seem to agree on.
There's no upside in being transparent in what is bannable. They don't want to encourage people to post what is barely allowed. Inevitably, there is going to be some inconstancy in the way borderline cases are handled, and then everyone will get even angrier.
The rule of goats applies here..

"The Rule of Goats applies. Slightly paraphrased — for this family newspaper — the rule states: If you kiss a goat, even if you say you're doing it ironically, you're still a goat-kisser. Alex Jones, playing a character or not, is a goat-kisser."

From Ken White, notorious free speech attorney who blogs as Popehat:

Haven't seen the CNN video but it was his stunts at the Capitol I see most places saying it was the video where he harassed a CNN reporter for ~10 minutes streaming it on Periscope.

> Ironically, it was the initial CNN story—or rather, Jones' unhinged response to it—that proved his eventual undoing. On Wednesday, just before Dorsey was set to testify at his second congressional hearing of the day, Jones approached Darcy as he waited in line with media colleagues to be let into the hearing room. Jones, flanked by his entourage, cornered Darcy, jabbed a phone in his face, and harassed the reporter for more than 10 minutes about his work, his employer, and his looks, saying he has the "eyes of a rat." The entire ordeal streamed on Periscope, which is owned by Twitter.

Workers had a good relationship with the employer previously. Company gets bought by Amazon, a company with a notorious reputation. Workers decide not long after that they now need a union to protect their interests.

Perception wise, that seems like a direct line to "Amazon is a worse employer".
I was particularly confused by the typo, "sign of the derivative of e", e being constant.

This is a narrow view of the reality of speech in the US. Almost all public speech goes through private entities that are controlled by a small number of powerful connected people, giving them the de facto ability to censor speech.
I will get that fixed momentarily. Thanks!
They'll actually give it back to you as cash also, though I've never used that option because I always find more things I want/need.
> They don't see the positives because they're technically advanced enough and don't benefit from simplification (or so they think).

I'm noticing despite the invocation of vague concepts of progress and usability... you haven't articulated any particular case for how this represents either. No model for why it's simpler or more usable.

"Safari does this too" or imprecise aspersions about the supposed "whining and griping from the more technically advanced folks" doesn't really cut it.

I could guess that what you mean is "oh, if you can omit something and yet it's implicitly understood, obviously that's a simplification," though that's obviously a guess. If I've misunderstood, well, there's counterexample #1, to get a little meta. If I've managed to guess correctly, the broad topic of language and notation is a fairly rich well as to the potential for ambiguity or outright miscommunicated meaning when things are moved from consistent and explicitly denoted syntax to implicit syntax. Or examples for when the implicitly understood isn't particularly burdensome to use or even require in some cases.

"the world didn't end" .... lots of bad ideas that make things marginally worse don't end the world.

"the principle of it all" Again, this is a pretty vague and imprecise charge. Do you understand what the particular principles people are registering their objection on? If so, why not name them and respond?

First off, there is compelling evidence that the Q movement is actually controlled by senior intel close to Trump

Secondly, Q just posted that this is retaliation for action against @jack, amongst other claims regarding infowars

Can anyone close to TWTR confirm?
Yes. Agreed.

Furthermore, Jones is a symptom. Banning him does cure the true problem. Does banning the likes of Jones make the MSM any more trustable? Or the MSM any more responsible? That seems unlikely.
> Baby Boomers can point to and try to shame people over.

I'm not a baby boomer and IMO people shouldn't both consume luxuries whilst complaining they cannot afford necessities (IMO retirement is a need), irrespective of how "small" the potatoes are, they add up and compound.
I think we're in complete agreement. Thanks for the link, that will come in handy! I'm already a fan of Ken's, but hadn't seen that one.
Most plans are not paying the inflated rates. Federal law requires plans to cover emergency care by out-of-network providers, but the plan can limit the payment to the usual and customary rate for the services. This leaves the patient susceptible to balance billing for the inflated rates. Self-insured employer group plans, which is what most people have, are federally regulated. State law does not apply to them.

State-regulated plans often are required to cover the full costs depending on state law, so the author's point is valid there.
All employers can now easily afford to offer Virtual Primary Care
Pressing alt+d selects the address in the address bar but does not expand it, the expanded one is copied when you press ctrl+c. Hilarious.
Yes. Jones and Trump both subscribe to the philosophy of "there's no such thing as bad publicity...all publicity is good publicity." Jones was overjoyed when Clinton referenced him publicly in her campaign.
Agglomeration effects might change the YIMBY calculus
You are correct. However, Twitter is not a govt with checks and balances for the purposes of accountability. It is a company and their judgement, like most companies, is part of the product.

What transparency would you find acceptable? Do you hold other companies to that level? I dont know the books for my local grocery store, I dont know their justifications or reasonings for what they do or dont stock, when they decide to hire, or what rules they hire for.

I'm not trying to be antagonistic or dismissive - I am far from an "anything goes" libertarian (or a libertarian of any kind) but if rules about rules are arbitrary, then we're just doing what we complain about.
That's interesting. Do you happen to have a link to an article or study about this so that I can learn more?
The funny thing is you don't need any stats to win smaller amounts of money. Just the simple question "hey what's the newest 10 dollar ticket" was enough to result in a solid net positive and a lot of beer money in college. They tended to front load the winning tickets for the newest ones.
Honestly, this sort of seems fine as long as they covered winners.

It doesn't actually matter from a black box standpoint who took their bets as long as they were given the proper outcomes.

It isn't any different from running a casino really, except it has potentially better odds.
Oh I totally agree with the statement when restricted to people like the author. Even then it depends on the definition of "undermining".

I think the author is cowardly, disingenuous, and dangerous.
That's quite odd. I've noticed that every other photographer I know dislikes Lightroom for the very fact that it uses libraries -- ending up being way too bulky and a resource hog when scaling across cameras, editing machines, studio locations, and storage drives.

Phase One's Capture One solves this by using "sessions" instead, which lets you keep any sort of workspace as a loose individual folder; with preset subfolders for raw files, output, trash, previews, etc. You still get the benefits of tagging and other bells and whistles of searchable libraries but with much easier grouping and portability.

While this really doesn't apply to casual editing, I think the performance benefits and flexibility of the session approach over LR's insistence on libraries cannot be overstated if your RAW files start to number in the thousands after a few months (event/wedding photographers, etc.).
Thanks! I am currently taking a course on edX and these resources are super helpful!
I think the comparison to spark plugs is misleading when we talk about URLs and security.

It's more like looking in the mirror before changing lanes. It's something you need to check in order to stay safe.

Mirrors, like URLs, are just an implementation detail. But since currently driving works with mirrors, you have to learn how to use them.
Who, other than you, says that twitter must be just? The world would be a completely different place if companies were required by law to be just.
I'm sorry, but you are almost certain to outlive your code, even the good stuff. Even a modest book on the bestseller lists will probably see more use than any program you will ever write.
> I didn't care that they were black, but my husband had never once mentioned that John was black. So I assumed he was white.

How can an assumption be racist anyway? If my friend told me about a friend I might imagine that person tall and slim with brown hair and whatever other look and if this person turns out to be short and chubby with blond hair - who cares. Obsessing about skin color like you are doing right now is completely meaningless, doesn't help anybody and just feeds the segregation even more. You can't be "subconsciously racist", don't believe those hoax psychologists that claim it.
Maybe you have a niche target and not looking for mass adoption. It's not "wrong" it's just not normally the way things are done.

True, +EV is useless if the variance is huge, as is the case with lotteries.
I just downloaded canary and tried it and you are absolutely right.

about.www.github.io shows as about.github.io

I'm on board with this change in general, but this is absolutely something that needs to be fixed.

Not only is that just annoying and wrong, but it could be dangerous in some situations.

Also, it doesn't just stop at one removal.

http://www.www.about.www.www.stuff.www.www.example.com

shows as

about.stuff.example.com

Interestingly though it doesn't remove it if it's the TLD, or the actual domain (so stuff.www.whatever shows as stuff.www.whatever).
It's been several years since I've used it, so I could be completely wrong, but yes, I believe that kind of filtering only works at the catalog level, so all of your photos would have to be in the same catalog to gain that benefit. When I used it, I only had one catalog that encompassed my entire photo library.

My impression is that Lightroom is really designed for you to go "all in" and let it organize everything.

Those are all basically taxes on idiocy and innumeracy.

After watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1X11aLACso I would have to disagree; they both made money by verbally abusing others.
No, what you did was infer "a couple perl scripts" meant "a box", as though it's not possible to geodistribute perl scripts. The entire point of the post you replied to was expressing amazement that this task could even warrant someone's entire job, because in many, many IT departments around the world, monitoring is both taken seriously and not nearly as expensive as PagerDuty.

It's a valid opinion, and your faux-Socratic response came off as needlessly condescending, that's all.

That's an extreme example, but there's an obvious security risk. This is a half assed change with buggy behaviour, regardless of whether you think www.domain.tld is materially different from domain.tld or not.
Yes, it would be nice if every child would learn these basics in school.
Given that Jack Dorsey just testified to Congress that he considers Twitter a digital public square, does the "it's a private company" work to defend them on such matters anymore?
I disagree. I think there are a large number of mental health problems that are directly attributable to images you see and words you read -most notably depression, but I think anorexia is the case study here. I don't think that the people who've contracted it through social media weren't already at risk, but the availability of models and pro-ana groups that encourage and enable such behavior has profound effect.

What is the working principle of the invisible watermark?
Recently, an employee of our company (Alibaba) leaked a screenshot of a computer screen, and the company relied on this screenshot to find the number and name of the culprit. I want to know why this company can rely on invisible watermarks to find information about leakers. And recently, I'm very interesting about the watermarking technology, so I developed a android watermark library that supports the invisible watermarks. the library is still under developments, I need suggestions, thanks.

It's more that the people who do this do more than just buying a single ticket with positive expected value - as described in the article.
Here the potential employer is clearly looking for an indication of the financial situation of the candidate, to be in the position of power when negotiating the salary. So it would be important to deny this data. A simple "Here's my bank account, I'll donate it myself" should be enough.
Just because you disagree with Twitter, it doesn't mean you have to start agreeing with Alex :/. That is a logical fallacy.
Amazon will do that the minute the math works out anyway. Encouraging workers to put up with worse and worse conditions out of fear of automation is just a race to the bottom that inevitably ends with automation anyway.
At present, this framework is still under development, and the invisible watermark only implements the LSB spatial domain. LSB is very poorly robust and does not support lossy compression, so I am going to make a watermark added to the frequency domain in the next step. For an Android framework, I think it is enough to provide these two interfaces.

The author states:

>"Eight years later, everyone in the business seems keen to point out that TLS version 1.3 will finally address this issue by encrypting session data, although it isn't obvious if the measures taken by IETF actually work."

Can someone say why it not yet if the measure taken by the IETF in TLS 1.3 work? Is it simply that this part of the spec hasn't been finalized yet? Or does the author mean something else?
That sounds much more plausible. Had a feeling this source was probably an exaggeration of the truth

There are a lot of dark patterns Google could use to track you if it wanted to. Does it? Who can say besides those on the inside. If you think they're using this, then there are probably half a dozen other methods you also think they are using, so this shouldn't bother you (at least, not any more than you are already bothered). If you don't think they're using any of those half a dozen other methods, you probably shouldn't worry about this one too much either.
Unlike Colbert, there's some controversy surrounding the status of Alex Jones as a performance artist. In a recent custody hearing, his lawyer argued that he was indeed playing a character. But in a broadcast on his podcast, he was quoted as saying "“We’re the most bona fide, hardcore, real McCoy thing there is, and everybody knows it and we’re delivering the goods... I’m the opposite of some scripted person.”

I think there's overwhelming evidence to support Alex Jones as a true conspiracy theorist. Whether he truly holds all the ludicrous beliefs that he consistently espouses, that's harder to tell.
Opposite problem, too many relative to jobs.
> Quite simply the www subdomain is confusing and unnecessary.

Sometimes it's unnecessary. How is it confusing? Millions of non-sophisticated users became sophisticated users typing it, millions more type it every day. It doesn't seem prima facie more confusing than a pronoun or other oft-repeated article. Consider the beginning of my last sentence in this paragraph -- would you consider the "It" confusing, even though it's not strictly necessary?

> Again your reaction is just sort of knee-jerk exaggerated resistance to change

Perhaps your reaction is knee-jerk teleology of change as progress?

As a suggestion: maybe spend less time characterizing the approach of people that you disagree with on this topic, and more time articulating actual arguments ("the www subdomain is confusing and unnecessary" counts, even though it's arguably not particularly strong), unless you'd eventually prefer it when people make the discussion partly about the shortcomings of your approach, which are far more glaring than you've clearly spent time considering.
Cool. Now having 20 actual years of experience, I think I was describing it in hindsight, vs looking to my future.

I agree with your 12 yeaer experience. When I hire or am being hired we look for recent, relevant and hopefully experience that shows a higher level of mastery relative to other candidates.

Still this is a nice reminder of how good HN has been at attracting new entrepreneurs/technologists, and the lowering the average age/experience level on HN. I see it as a positive.
I personally can't imagine not having a PC (or several actually), but you'd really be surprised how many non-techies don't have one at home these days when even the same people used to in the 1990s and early 2000s. For a lot of people a computer is just a tool to check e-mail, watch videos, and surf the web. These days a tablet or even a phone is good enough for a lot of people.
