> Unlike the occultists of the previous ages, Mesmer was striving to give his practices a rational scientific as opposed to a religious flavour. Indeed, although the magnetic fluid part did not work out, in an important sense, animal magnetism marked the beginnings of hypnosis and psychological suggestion. (emphasis added)

The preeminent hypnotist of the modern era was Milton H. Erickson [0], who moved to Phoenix for the climate.

Dr. Erickson had come down with the polio at 17 years old, and spent a year+ in an iron lung in the family's kitchen. He overheard the doctors tell his mother that he was done for, which "lit a fire" that enabled him to recover and thrive. He never fully recovered from Polio (e.g. pain was a constant experience), but he lived to be 78 years old.

A few years ago on a Saturday, the local NPR station had an announcement about the premiere of Wizard of the Desert [1][2], a documentary produced by the Milton H. Erickson Foundation. I found it to be very well done.

I later had a session with one of the professionals on this Foundation's list of Phoenix-area practitioners. He saw right through me, and brought what I was actually doing to my attention, in exactly a way that was helpful. "oh my, that's no good..."

Sigmund Freud's psycho-analysis/psycho-therapy is basically where people talk about their problems trying to get "insight". There's certainly some value in having someone to bounce your problems off of, but people commonly spend years working on the same problem without getting anywhere. (Freud started out using hypnosis [3], but found the results to be inconsistent...)

Effective ways to help people help themselves has made a lot of progress from the Freudian days. Ericksonian Hypnosis and other forms of rapid/brief therapy is more likely to quickly help people than plain old "psychoanlysis", because the therapist listens and helps the client find resources within themselves to solve their own problems. Aspects of Milton Erickson's insights are certain to be found in all the best therapists' practices.

I'm fairly sure I have seen speed tests between iOS 11 and 12 with actual numbers involved. Someone who has a single phone and upgrades it can't do it, no, but someone who runs, say, a testing lab, or iFixit, or any other place where it's possible to have two different iPhones of the same model running two different versions of iOS can do it pretty easily. Googling "ios 11 vs ios 12 speed" shows a plethora of links from people doing exactly that. I found the same for "ios 11 vs ios 10 speed"; I didn't keep repeating the experiment past that. :)

As to your original point, though -- yes. I'd certainly prefer it if Apple didn't make downgrading so difficult, even if it's just on general principle. I've rarely been tempted to downgrade, but iOS 11 could be pretty clunky on my iPhone 6 compared to its predecessor. (I think 11.4 finally smoothed all that out, but that came out literally a week before iOS 12 was announced!)

The users were still seeing ads once Facebook, as a site, was back up. Just because campaign managers for ads couldn't use the Ads Manager, doesn't mean users don't see ads. For example, I had campaigns spending thousands of dollars, but I just had to guesstimate the cost because Ads Manager wasn't showing the data. That means I could be underspending or overspending because I couldn't optimize. It's a real headache for ad buyers, but once again, users still see ads.

I can also confirm, I can still see names and addresses, but not emails. Honestly any online retailer has to be trusted with this information, and in the fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) case, there are 3rd party sellers that have some unnecessary access to it. I personally don't actually need access to it since I do FBA exclusively.
Wouldn't matter, if the attack works as described. It's already exfiltrating data cross-process due to the processes sharing a resource (the CPU cache). It doesn't matter whether the processes are the same browser or different browsers.

Now the actual "cache fingerprint" of a particular pageload might be different in different browsers, so it might not be possible to differentiate "site A loaded in Firefox" and "site B loaded in Chrome". Or it might be, and then you know not only what sites the user is visiting but what browser they're using to do it...

Personally, consuming news is a source of entertainment and a topic for small-talk.

If you interface with clients or coworkers on a daily basis, "small-talk" improves relationships among your peers. Not to mention, you seem more personable and likeable - traits that are revered in the modern workplace.

This isn't a blanket endorsement to start talking politics in the workplace, I'm simply saying that being well-versed in current events has value.

It is proven that physicists are in fact, the most ignorant folks of all scientists. Real, proper physical models are always interdisciplinary, unified theories. The most ignored category of all.

I can assure everybody, that the model that might get accepted in 100 years is already here. As I'm personally using one of those fringe models, I can assure you that using this in public will get you mostly negative points online and quite interesting conversations offline. Nice side-note: You will be able to filter out non scientific thinkers quite easily and I can assure you, there are lots of them in the "scene". Interestingly chemists are much more open to different models, in fact, most of them know that our models are rough approximations at best.

It is funny when you think in models that explain everything, but are quite far from the standard perspective. It becomes hard to explain effects because the details obviously start to diverge the closer you look.
On the other hand, I think every adolescent is capable of thinking the model I'm using. (PS: I'm not the origin of the model I'm using, I seriously would have never been able to come up with such a minimal, absolute logical and elegant solution)
I believe the root complaint is the link shows the "Title", a small snippet, and/or a thumbnailed image.

The concern is that it's a law essentially designed to punish large companies for essentially doing what the internet is built to do: link to other sites.

To not have any snippets and just display raw URL links would be to essentially go back to the early 90's in terms of user experience.

Edit: Also, arguably, the headline itself is a quote. How can you charge someone for quoting something newsworthy? That seems to be the very definition of fair use.

> That a cross-platform application distribution platform might have arisen anyway is beside the point. It'd have been nice to keep that separate from the locked-down hypertext platform that keeps the user in control. We've lost the latter in gaining the former, rather than having both.

You assume that HTML would have survived in the same world as this hypothetical cross-platform app ecosystem. I think you are mistaken and you can ask Gopher fans how well it works out when your platform's capabilities are completely subsumed by a more powerful platform.

If the W3C and the major browser vendors had announced an intention to stagnate and never move beyond basic hypertext documents, either another set of people would have forked and moved on without them or a full replacement would have sprung up.
That was Clay Shirky’s argument years ago during the first round of micropayments startups. While we do deal with micropayments in one sense every time we flip on a light switch and used to do so for phone calls, it feels different somehow for reading articles.

It's possible to wonder why a language like SML doesn't get more use outside academia, since so many people have been taught it as students. And it seems a reasonable explanation that many people who were taught these languages simply disliked the experience. If you're forced to learn a weird non-procedural language with no obvious application and a super-picky type checker that you can't understand, why would you like it?

I had a vaguely similar experience myself, when taught SML as a student in the 90s. I enjoyed it as an exercise, but by the end of the course I still didn't have any useful intuition for how to write a whole program in it. Meanwhile over on the C++ course, the object/procedural mix seemed to make more obvious sense as a way to structure things.

Now, after years working in C++, I think of SML as the easier language and in many ways more natural.

I don't know if gamification is the enemy here. I don't think this would be an issue if driver incomes hadn't taken such a massive hit in the past year or so with Uber / Lyft.

I worked as a checkout operator at a supermarket for four years while in High School / College and really enjoyed it - I used to play a game where I'd see how many items I could scan per minute (we needed to do 15, my average was between 22-25 from memory). I did the same thing when I worked a paper run before that, challenging myself to see how quickly I could get it done.

Gamifying tedious activities is good and we should be doing more of it.

The way I've heard this working is: you approach the landowner with a really good bid for his land ($5m for his property worth $4m). He agrees to sell, but you have trouble coming up with the money, and ask him if he can keep the offer open for a year or so. He isn't thrilled with this, but you offer him $250k up front, to be forfeited if you don't come up with the rest of the money. This makes the $250k look more like a token of good faith and less like an undervalued option, but it comes to the same thing.

I don't see an issue. If a browser wants to create a websocket connection, it will always create a fresh connection and do a HTTP/1.1 upgrade. Because that's the only way how websockets are specified.

On the server side most things are handled in the low-level HTTP handlers. There (e.g. in Netty/Jetty and Co) one needs to care about ALPN negotiation, websocket upgrades and Co. But higher up (J2EE, express, etc) things are mostly about HTTP semantics, and there isn't any handling about "upgrade" or even the "Connection" field in general anymore.

Yes, the line between HTTP application semantics and HTTP/1.1 transport is very thing and nobody exactly knows where things start and end. But I'm still not convinced we need web sockets over HTTP/2, e.g. in order to allow upgrades in the application layer.

This is the actual privacy concern that I worry about. It's not some company using machine learning on my emails to show me ads, or tracking my face when I enter their stores so they can mail me better coupons, or figuring out that I use my voice assistant in the afternoons to get wine delivered.

I can opt out of those. Not always easy, or convenient, or comfortable, but I'm unaware of hardly any commercial relationships that I'm forced to engage in. Most of the complaints I see about corporations taking over our lives are either people complaining about a government-granted monopoly (Comcast) or complaining because they want the benefits of that relationship without any cost (Google).

For me, it's the government and the people who love it for "all the good it can do in the world" deciding that a great use for all those police and military and taxes and guns and bureaucracy is to dig as far into my life as they possibly can (which is a long, long way) to ensure that I'm doing the "right" things, and to make my life a living nightmare if I disagree.

Because then what do I do? Flee the country? What if that government decides "nah, we don't want people to leave"?

Things like this and cops shooting unarmed people and the military droning middle eastern countries and private prisons and civil forfeiture is why I lean libertarian. Yes, I know that's a dirty word. My social capital score just dropped a bit!

In case someone doesn't read all the way through (and you should and you should donate to propublica):

"Umansky was bewildered. He hadn’t been using the machine all night because he needed a new mask. But his insurance company wouldn’t pay for the new mask until he proved he was using the machine all night — even though, in his case, he, not the insurance company, is the owner of the device.

“You view it as a device that is yours and is serving you,” Umansky said. “And suddenly you realize it is a surveillance device being used by your health insurance company to limit your access to health care.”

Privacy experts said such concerns are likely to grow as a host of devices now gather data about patients, including insertable heart monitors and blood glucose meters, as well as Fitbits, Apple Watches and other lifestyle applications. Privacy laws have lagged behind this new technology, and patients may be surprised to learn how little control they have over how the data is used or with whom it is shared, said Pam Dixon, executive director of the World Privacy Forum."

The mail that Amazon sent to affected customers was barebones and contained almost no information.
I subscribed to a couple different channels that did some pretty neat experiments with ion generation, they both just went away, I can only imagine what happened to them.
One comment further down stated that it might have affected marketplace sellers. Amazon doesn't really put the same amount of thought and resources on marketplace than Amazon retail even if they should IMHO.

Regardless, that's AFAIK the first time that ever happened to Amazon. Bad enough if it was third party sellers. A catastrophe if it was Amazon customers. With all the controversy regarding counterfeits in some countries an incident that bears the risk of impacting customer trust is the last thing Amazon needs. Maybe I should have sold my stock 4 months ago... But maybe Q4 will be stellar and stock goes up again in January. I should think about a stop order, just in case Q4 disappoints that year.
