Whether or not you agree with Apple's rules, the fact that Facebook is willing to violate their Enterprise Certificate agreement with Apple is a red flag.

If Facebook is willing to break an agreement with one of the largest corporations on the planet, what reason is there to think that they will keep any promises they make to individual users?
This is exactly why I’m not using Helm for most applications; it would be more maintenance to try to maintain all the more specific forked helm charts and a helm chart repository than to maintain the direct and lightly templated manifests which allow me to have 100% immutable definitions of all my infrastructure (like I prefer with or without Kubernetes), but without also maintaining a huge set of more complicated Helm charts.
I would also like to give thanks! I just use in on my home-hosted site for personal use, but it was such a breeze to set up. I could have used a self-generated cert but I feel this is much safer, and saves me from having to install the cert on every device.

What are you suggesting? Rolling out your own integrations? Going through the implementation and PCI compliance?

No offence but this is a dumb statement.
> I expect, by 2025 at the latest, that mobile service and handset providers will begin kneecapping devices whose owners have displeased Equifax.

What type of action could someone put on a device to deal with an owner that has bad credit?
Build app to receive tips anonymously.

Integrate seamlessly into checkout experience (like Affirm does for micro lending).

This could prevent Instacart etc from reducing hourly rate based on tips (because they don't have access to that info).
Asserting there is a breakdown of the social order is quite different from asserting what caused the breakdown. There was an awful lot of social strife in the 1960s, for example, which had those high tax rates.
So, first off, fair point for calling out that I said "guy." I tried to edit it once I saw my mistake, but the post was locked.

I'm curious, though, why you would not want someone who was genetically smart? Why would you want a "dumb" healthcare professional treating you? Do you not believe intelligence to be related to genetics?

Also, how does being male make one a worse healthcare professional?

If you are saying you want fairness in opportunities, then isn't discriminating on the basis of someone being male the opposite of fairness?
It's it convenient that Chrome's moves against the URL also makes it easier for Google to MITM/proxy the whole world using AMP?
They had content for ten years up to around a year ago. Then they went down.

So maybe that soured them too much?

This still lets people on that list wake you up after hours unless you take manual action.

I believe apple has a new call fitering API, but of course you don't have a way of really knowing what apps do with their permissions.

Apple should give you the ability to firewall apps from any net access.
It's probably unthinkable for a lot of people these days, but the US once had an income tax for those in the highest tax bracket of over 90%.
There are many apps that do the same, at least on Android I've personally tried, but i guess should be the case on iPhone too.
Perhaps that should be taken as a hint rather than a challenge.
Headline is misleading. This is about Google's research into how users are misled by tricky URL's and what to do about it.

*2000x. Very true.

A thousand times this. If you think they couldn't possibly misunderstand you, think again. Then again. Every time.

Sure, but check with someone else--someone outside of your comfort zone--before confirming that.
SpaceX is fine, although it's running at leaner margins than competitors; as long as it can scale well and beef that up, it'll be about average for an aerospace company.

Tesla is a terrible mess, and only by Silicon Valley standards can it be considered successful at all. It is not even close to being "the most" successful car company.

This is why Musk is a controversial figure; he's a Valley-style startup hype man operating in the wider world. Whether that approach is sustainable is what the fighting is about.
This is theft from the customer, who tips with the understanding that it will be extra money in the worker's pocket.

Disgusting, reprehensible, and frankly unbelievable. I've never used Instacart and now I never will.
Do they? - Competition regulators could see this as abuse of power and use this to destroy Apple's AppStore model. Quite risky ...

I can't imagine a modern system where the link between system memory and the CPU would be slower than the PCI link between memory and a peripheral.
Yeah, in my case that is what I want. There is only a handful of family that can get through. But, if they are calling at 3am, it is very likely an emergency. If this becomes a problem, I'd just ask them not to call at 3am. I haven't had any issues though.

Why do you believe "independent thinkers and skeptics" should be allowed to disagree with the status quo, but that disagreeing with them is tantamount to censorship and restricting speech?

Disagreeing and debunking is fine. Deplatforming isn't. Trying to garner emotional sentiment against people without rational argument is a bit beyond the line. Throwing around headlines to create emotional associations is a bit beyond the line. Discussing the facts is good.

and meanwhile plenty of skeptics believe mainstream science is ridiculous.

There are some far left progressives who would deny all evolutionary biology in order to completely deny biological sex differences, primarily on ideological grounds. I find that just as bad as denying evolution on ideological grounds.

You can't have your cake and eat it too. You can't support criticism and not expect criticism in return.

Criticism is fine. Engaging in that in good faith is supporting Free Speech. Deplatforming and tactics for silencing argument aren't fine. Those go against the spirit of Free Speech.

"Google Takes Last Steps Towards Killing the Open Web by Making Everyone Register With Centralized Certificate Authorities Just to Run an HTML Server."

I sincerely hope I live to see this quintessentially evil corporation go bankrupt.
Interesting information. Do you know if the bonuses are part of the union contract?

"Approximately two-thirds of PG&E’s employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements with three labor unions: the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 1245, the Engineers and Scientists of California (ESC) IFPTE Local 20 and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) United Service Workers West."

http://www.pgecorp.com/corp_responsibility/reports/2010/em06...

Maybe paying those bonuses is required.
There HAVE to be underlying motives at play here. If Google really cared about "dumb users" – I agree phishing and such attacks do pose a threat to the average net surfer, but surely they can use ML to bolster and enhance the warning or safe browsing system that they already use, and use that as an additional plus point or marketing point. To imply that this is being done merely for the sake of the "user" is laughable.

This is simply a red herring to (eventually) guide user interface behavior towards a system or set of systems that moves towards obscure, non-transparent and centralized control.
Now can it go the other way?
They're not sending cash, it's a check or a deposit into a debit card. Not many "children" under the age of 16 have those.

So many of the comments in this thread are literally "Think of the children!"
Think about the minimal cost of a case going to trial. Maybe $2,000 to pay outside counsel for one appearance to request dismissal? The costs balloon exponentially from there. I don't understand why Wag wouldn't offer at least $500 or $1,000 to avoid that.
If I'm understanding correctly, it sounds like the plan is to use heuristics and machine learning to guess which URLs look "tricky".

I'm highly skeptical of an approach that involves training users to rely on a black-box ML system. That just makes them ever more dependent on technology they can't possibly understand and puts more power in Google's hands. By being the sole arbiter of what is "tricky," Google gets to blacklist the entire Internet.

It would be better to help users understand the URL. I don't mean expecting users to parse the syntax on sight; I mean finding ways to display or represent it so that the important information is easier to see and fraud is easier to spot.
As a nice side effect of Google pushing Web Packaging, we get one step closer to having web apps that are signed with an offline key and served with a clear version number.

This would mean you could have at least a TOFU security model, where a web app that you trust can't be replaced (without you knowing) by an insecure version you haven't seen before.

Add some binary transparency [1] logging on top of that, and it might be possible to make browser-based JavaScript crypto almost as secure as the equivalent desktop app.

The article is about how Google PR people are now openly advocating for removing the concept of a "URL" from web browsing for security reasons. What are you talking about.
Shannon came up much more than Turing during undergrad for electrical engineering. Can't learn signal processing, information theory, discrete math, etc without mentioning him. Perhaps he falls in the EE/ECE realm more than CS
I've read through most of the threads, and the responses here are interesting. While some people have made cogent points about the role of prestige in consulting (this being the reason firms like McKinsey can charge what they do), I really don't think that the pay differential is as reasonable as people tend to think. In general, I think it's unreasonable and extractive. Most businesses aren't McKinsey.

From what I've seen and lived, there is, at best, a weak correlation between someone's pay rate and what they're billed at. One company I worked at charged 5x my rate for projects. It was usually explained away as "a blended group rate." More often than not, I was the only developer on those contracts.

I wouldn't claim to be an expert on the economics involved, but I'd wager that the pay rate/bill rate ratio is, in most cases, due to layers of management, and a lack of transparency and automation. I'm trying my hand at combatting this at the startup/coop I founded. If anyone is interested in chatting about this, screaming at me about how I'm wrong, or learning more about the business, send me an email at jeremy@tribestaffing.co.
Every huckster maintains they have their mark's best interests at heart. Some may even believe it. That doesn't make these any less predatory.
This is a classic example of 'manufacturing' a problem so you can 'solve' it in a self serving way.

At some point technical discussions will have to rise above current naivette and various parroted 'laws' and demonstrate understanding of the real world, corporate and human behavior instead of lamenting after the horse has bolted.

On that topic, if you are the most senior person on the team and the other members don't seem like they want mentoring, my biggest piece of advice is to wait. Sometimes it feels like you are waiting forever (and with some people you will be). Mentoring is as much about trust as it is about passing over knowledge. You can imagine the people you will potentially mentor as wild animals. Even if you have gobs of yummy food on hand, they won't be ready to take it from you at first. The trick is to stand still, keep your calm and keep offering small little treats. Eventually one or two of them will come by and take a nibble. Don't pounce on them. Just stay calm and keep offering treats. Eventually some of them will come to trust you well enough to eat a whole meal from you. Some never will. That's just the way it is.

Fix in the context of perfect facial recognition surveillance means being able to locate and arrest all people that commit a crime. People who are not driven to crime because they can afford a financially comfortable and privileged lifestyle will not feel the effects of poverty and homelessness in this scenario. It's like putting a band aid on a festering wound.

On the other hand, if we are not able to locate and arrest whoever defecated on the sidewalk, maybe we'll resort to building more toilets.

edit: I have faith that San Francisco is progressive enough to not allow widespread harsh and cruel punishment for the less fortunate based on group association.

Narongsak Osatanakorn was put officially in charge of coordinating rescue efforts even after his term as governor had ended.

IDEs sorta move in that direction, though not too fast. You can list methods in a class, jump to the definition of a method, etc.

Not many seem to realize that Java's strict OOP structure is (or was) a mover of IDE functionality: you can statically describe the structure of the entire program at a high level, and code is only contained in methods, so you have methods as organizational units, to which you navigate and otherwise reason. So now we have IDE functionality that can move methods and variables around like they're toy blocks.

i don't think there is a way of avoiding this situation short of some kind of wealth transfer program. certainly not within the reach of a for-profit or a self-sustaining zero-profit enterprise.
Not to mention that the "safety" problem has been reduced by browsers' showing of only the root URL these days, not the giant string of parameters.

What ICANN't should have done years ago is eliminate canned TLDs entirely; there's no reason a URL shouldn't end in any string you like. Want to register "joe.schmoe"? Shouldn't be a problem.

Of course, that wouldn't let them run their registration rip-off scheme for arbitrary TLDs, now would it?
I use callcentric for voip and it allows all non-whitelist numbers to fall through to ‘press random digit to connect’. That gets rid of spam calls for me.
On HN, it's important to disagree by neutrally providing accurate information. Attacking someone else's comment as a "blatant lie" falls under what the site guidelines refer to as "calling names" and is not ok here. If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and use HN as intended, we'd appreciate it.

That particularly means avoiding nationalistic flamewar, even on divisive topics where it's hard to resist. Most of all on those topics actually.
Note that it's at the top of the list probably because it's running on a cluster. It would be awesome to see such a comparison on some standard hardware, like a large AWS GPU instance (eg1.2xlarge).

Also note that the dataset is 600GB, so it won't fit a sinlge GPU, not even close.
I think publicly calling one of the rescuers a paedophile without grounds sunk Musk permanently on this one, regardless of the excellent but unusable engineering solution provided by his nootropicly charged ego.

The title is a little clickbait, I guess. Google only discussed displaying a warning when a url looks phishy. Or did I miss the killing/hiding url part?

Really? I think I opened my first bank account when I was 10 or so. My parents had to co-sign but other than that were not involved in it. I don't think this was very unusual, the bank even promoted a special free account for young people. I had summer jobs from the age of 12, would you expect me to shove the money under my mattress?
> while URLs may not be going anywhere anytime soon

Nothing in the article talks about killing the URL, just flagging spam URLs like G00GLE.com (with zeros) that might be security risks.

Changing the UX for URLs in a browser that has overwhelming market share is going to change how people think about and assess the identity of websites they visit.

Over time, it could make other browsers feel less familiar, old fashioned, and maybe even shady for most people.

It may end up improving security for some (we'll see), but it may also improve the security of Chrome's market share (whether that's the motivation behind the move or not).
Our team of 5 went to a good restaurant/steak place in LA last week, ate and drank for $300, enjoyed the ambience and ate great food, enjoyed the warmth of the service, spent great time together and tipped $75

Who should the tip go to?

- To the owner who spent/spends a fortune running it in LA?

- To the chef who catered to our needs without seeing us?

- To the person who immediately and happily tended to us everytime we raised our heads and looked around

- To the person who cleared the used plates and never let us wanting for crockery

- (we tipped the valet guy separately)

I wonder what as a customer should I do? How do I know the share goes to all? I cannot pay cash for that amount. I carry barely $5 with me in cash.

Perhaps. I notice in most societies we say there are all sorts of things that you can’t do for money with your own time and body, however desperate you may be. Selling your organs and selling sex being examples.
We saw this before with personal computers. So I don't know what you can't see with the phone situation. PCs are now a commodity item that has razor thin margins and any from the last decade are fine for everyone except for developers and gamers. Phones are now the same, everyone has got one and they get replaced when people drop them badly, misplace them, get them stolen or if they come off a contract. But that contract model is dying as people don't think that it is worth buying them in the way people paid for TVs in the 1970's by instalments.
