My company has been a frequent target of phishing attacks. Setting up the strictest possible SPF, DKIM and DMARC records and then reminding everyone to always verify the domain matches goes a really long way to keeping people safe. It might not be as perfect as end-to-end PGP, but it's available today & supported in almost all of the major email clients. If you haven't set up DMARC yet, it's a good place to start as it stops scammers from being able to spoof emails and make them look like they came from your domain.
I wish more people were aware of HiDPI/Retina displays and the `2x` option in `srcset`. Would have been a good opportunity to mention it in the article.

Don't get me wrong, I totally agree and I haven't installed Newsguard and don't plan to. The other guy really seems to want to jump to the conclusion that the extension is malicious (e.g. he characterized it as "privacy invading"), which I think is unwarranted (and frankly a little conspiratorial, given that so little supporting evidence has been given).

Having researched it, it doesn't look too bad. Definitely better than trash like Media Bias/Fact Check.

> Sure, an extension is more user friendly, but make it mandatory when a web page would do fine? This is the "install our app" nag taken to the next level and reeks of developers forcing "what's best" upon users.

Yeah, I agree it's a questionable design decision.
What would it take for you to change your opinion of them? How do we know they're not current asleep at the wheel?

The FAA is not some singular, autonomous entity. It's real live humans with biases and potentially some level of political influence. No regulatory body is above suspicion.

There's no way for them to know at this point what caused the second crash. It might actually be a critical defect, something that was overlooked or blame mis-applied on the first crash investigation. We simply don't know at this point, and neither do they.
Read up on the DC-10. It had some pretty well known issues, such as cargo bay door latches failing and blowing open in flight.
The obsession is because the plane is new (<2 years) and there have been two fatal crashes in the past 6 months, making it by far the most dangerous plane in the skies today.
"But the highest praise I can give The Left Hand of Darkness is that Le Guin captures the texture of life. This book is full of little moments, bits of sensation and emotion, that show what it feels like to be alive, day after day."

Well put; this was one of the things I enjoyed most about the book as well. I began reading fully expecting to be immersed in the Gethenians' world and their foreign culture, just as Mr. Ai did at the start of his journey. By the end though I realized Le Guin had used these "aliens" to show Mr. Ai and the reader what it truly meant to be human.

The fact that some others here feel that LHoD was not Le Guin's best work makes me excited to read her other books!
Your comment treads close to the pitfalls of this regressive framework of "privilege".

The default state of nature is open-world. It would be nonsensical for parents to not provide for their children. At what age should parents leave babies outside to fend for themselves? When someone passes away, should their dwelling be bulldozed? These sound nonsensical, precisely because our implicit motive is to build things for subsequent generations. We have gotten to our present state due to the hard work and planning of past generations - "A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in." and all that.

The "rigged" bit you're referring to is that society itself operates on a closed-world paradigm based around positional goods. The winners of this zero sum game gatekeep their position, extracting work from the losers. Setting up a general race to the bottom will not affect those winning this game, for they will always find a way to mitigate any "corrective" action and keep themselves on top. But buying into the paradigm actually makes it harder for those not on top to escape it!

You should appreciate the advantages you were given, but not view them as some sort of baggage or original sin. I guarantee you the people above you certainly won't.

And as far as general reform, focusing on general "wealth" is simplistic dead-end idea. One must always be looking for ways to make specific facets of society open-world. eg focus on increasing access to education in general and ousting credentialism, not simply trying to make the beneficiaries of the status quo less predictable.
Correct; if you are using DDG as your default search engine, and you enable "use a prediction service", suggest queries are sent to the "suggest_url" configured for that engine. For DDG, that URL is here: https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/components/search_engin...

I'm on my second attempt to use DDG instead of Google. As time goes on, my percentage of searches I use google for ticks higher and higher. I'm starting to intuitively recognize when search results will be garbage with DDG. It's tough because I really want to take back my privacy, but it seems that for 50% of searches, DDG just doesn't get me anywhere near what i'm looking for.

The other day I searched for the website to check a restaurant gift card balance. All of DDGs results were obvious scam webpages. I often search for ElasticSearch documentation. DDG always returns very old versions for these docs, while google returns the most recent version.
I seem to recall reading it can be a mix of both, though generally the way you mentioned. A Bloom filter that filters locally, and if it's a hit then it sends over the URL to double-check. Would be nice if someone could confirm though.
Links that can be distributed via any channel and are platform agnostic is great IMHO. You’re then a service on top of any social network (WhatsApp, Slack, SMS, email, whatever).
>Spotify doesn't want to use Apple's infrastructure and is compelled to do so regardless

I believe I mentioned that not being allowed to provide a link to their payment website within their app was anticompetitive in my initial post?

However your assertion that Spotify is forced to use Apple's in app payment system is simply not true. Especially given the fact that they no longer use it at all for new users.
> most people see it as going backwards or retreating and struggle to get over this psychologically

If you return a chess piece to a previous position, it's possible that doing so loses you a tempo. Even if, strictly speaking, the game/board doesn't care about the direction you move, saying it's "just" another position isn't quite accurate, since turns matter, and using up a turn to walk back a piece may give your opponent a +1 turn advantage?
Oww. Lots of plea bargains coming up I am sure. Don't think any of the parents would make a particular sympathetic defendant in front of a jury.

Matt Levine today framed it rather neatly as a property crime, in that the dodgy charity guy and the coaches stole those selective admissions slots from the universities and sold them on to the parents. (Those parents of course being fully aware that other people would be taking test on their kids' behalf, so they are hardly victims.)
I have been taking some video courses at New Masters Academy, and they've been pretty good, I would give them a recommendation. They are more focused on traditional more realism centered art, so it might not be exactly what you are looking for, but check them out.

According to the current version of the iPhone app, yes, my group chats are E2E encrypted.

I believe the mechanism is to use a generic / per message key to encrypt each individual message, and then use each recipient's public key to encrypt the encryption key before sending that (along with a link to the cipher text) to each end user.

This is also why sending a video the first time takes forever (encrypt, upload, encrypt key, send key, send link), while forwarding it to another person (encrypt key, send key, send link) does not.
> WaPo's lead fact checker ...

That's not the type of fact I would lead with.

Also, it's a bit ironic to blame the FAA for other countries not following it. The mistakes of other nations are theirs to bear.
They claim pretty directly otherwise, right on their faq page.

> WhatsApp end-to-end encryption ensures only you and the person you're communicating with can read what's sent, and nobody in between, not even WhatsApp.

Is your claim that Facebook is plainly lying about this? That would be a a pretty high-risk thing to do, even for them: their usual MO is to cover their abuses in a couple layers of legalese and deniability.

>No, it's very easy to implement and commonplace in all sorts of businesses.

Can you provide a software example?

> Apple need to treat their in-house app development teams in exactly the same way as they would treat a third-party developer - they get the same APIs, they get the same documentation, they go through the same approvals process and they pay the same fees.

Nobody should believe that a company paying fees to itself will change its behavior. The app development team would still act in Apple's overall best interest and not seek to maximize its own profits.

Even if we somehow accept that there is a real divide, it's still not equal footing. Say that Apple Music and Spotify both have $0.75 in expenses for every $1 they charge on app store. After the 30% cut, both would have loses of $0.05 per dollar of revenue. For Apple, that's a fictitious loss and their actual cash flow is a positive $0.25. For Spotify, that $0.05 represents an actual nickle they have to give someone else. Apple can continue on doing that indefinitely while Spotify can't.
A lot of communities have adult education classes that teach skills like painting for relatively cheap.
Timing does not carry much information here. Those decisions are taken by bureaucracies, and we are talking about days.

The Brazilian flight authority, for example, makes this kind of decision once a week, and there's a backlog. Even if all the technical analysis was ready minutes after the accident, it wouldn't have decided on it yet. Most western ones have a similar organizational model.

Data gathering takes days, data verification takes days, every time one has to contact somebody in a timezone with 4+ hours of difference, it takes a couple of days, informing superiors takes days, scheduling a decision takes days, even publishing it takes days.
2013’s FAA was under an ethical Obama administration. Anything touched by Trump is assumed to be corrupt. Witness the black box being sent to Europe and not the USA. The soft power of ethics in action.
I can turn lights off without getting off my bed, and damn, has it made my life crazy simple. I was in India for few months last year and I realized a large part of me getting up early was to just switch on the geyser, open the door for the cook and turn the lights on. I would get back to bed after and check up fb till the water got hot. Just the fact that Echo can do these things without making me get off the bed will be a crazy value addition to my current decently privileged life.
Race is a meaningful medical category since it appears that certain diseases that have a genetic background are more common on some races than others. So it's not a biological race in the sense that you have different genes but the different variations that appear are important( an example is that esophagus cancer is many times more common on Chinese people compared to Western people, a trend that is maintained on immigrants).
SALT caps really screw a lot of people though. My effective federal tax rate is higher after the tax "cut" than it would have been under the previous tax laws.

It really depends on where you live. Some blue areas have had effective tax increases for a sizable chunk of the population.
>Pages containing popular JavaScript frameworks were more likely to have accessibility errors than those that didn’t use those frameworks.

I find this result ironic after one of the top complaints in that javascript-free front end post we had yesterday[1] was that it hindered accessibility.

There's another comment on how Southwest ordered retrofits of the AOA user interface and training for all pilots following the 2018 crash. One solution is to make that change global in a mass recall/retrofit, along with additional training; possibly even adding it as a situation in 737 simulators to judge how quickly pilots will react to it.
Not joking, I would give myself the winning numbers of a very large Powerball jackpot along with the date associated with those numbers.

> I'll take this as the sign that entirety of Chromebook is at high risk of being canceled.

Google backing off on first-party work means that third parties that have always been the backbone of the Chromebook effort have less concern that Google's going to snatch the valuable segment of the market away from them, so I would say that its at least as likely to be a positive sign for Chromebook as a continuing effort as a negative one.

This has very little to do with monopolies and much more to do with enforcement.

The most persistent misconception about antitrust regulation in the US, and one repeated over and over on HN and in this thread, is that it only applies to businesses in a monopoly position. While the original Sherman Act of 1890 explicitly targeted monopolies, the 1914 Clayton Act expanded its scope to encompass a range of anticompetitive practices, including predatory pricing. [1]

A market actor need not be a monopoly to engage in these behaviors, only a dominant position that they are abusing.

While the Apple Tax is a problem of its own, I would hate for Apple to allow downloading apps through websites. A large part of iOS security is that everything has to be co-signed by Apple unless it's an Enterprise distribution app [1], so even if there is an exploit that breaks out of the app sandbox you don't have to worry about malicious websites drive-by downloading it.

But that's the issue here. In the default configuration for the 737-M8. It's not disabled with the autopilot like it has been in previous generations and in other planes. There's an extra step that has to be taken that not all pilots are trained on, or that they might not recall in a panic/emergency when they're fighting the plane.
The number of times I have seen "why is this being down voted" over the past week or so is absolutely insane. More so when most of the subjects of the downvoting complaints aren't actually below 0.

Facebook events is one of the only things keeping a lot of people I know on facebook.

But, yeah, it's hard to go to something else cause of the friction.

What we really need is something that is as integrated into fb events as fb, but _also_ allows people who aren't on fb to find and keep track of and RVSP to events.

I think facebook API's don't really allow you to have that kind of integration for a third-party thing though. I would assume this is intentional.

(I find out about a lot of events on fb not by searching for events, but by facebook timeline telling me "your fb friend is interested/going to this event. If you can figure out a way to approach that kind of experience with your non-fb thing, it might help).
It's not so much about politics as process. Canada and the U.S. have a bilateral acceptance process, whereby airworthiness in one country is accepted in the other. Since the FAA was the certifying authority in this case, the default position would be to trust their process until evidence suggested otherwise.

The "flight data recorder" is the physical product.
It is therefore important to use each statistic in a proper context. When it comes to a question about risks associated with a particular long-range travel from one city to another, the most suitable statistic is the third one, thus giving a reason to name air travel as the safest form of long-range transportation.

The author perhaps, should have lead with (paraphrased) "Warren raised this as a discussion, and that is a good thing." He wrote that towards the end.

However, according to (what I understand) as the author's frame, there is a fundamental misunderstanding of how the tech companies gained power and market dominance. The nitty gritty details about Bing and Google was meant to demonstrate that.

Also keep in mind: this author has been writing a blog related to Aggregation Theory for a long time. Years before Warren had raised this issue to the nation. He had analyzed each of the FAANG companies, including Amazon, in depth. Many of his readers would already be familiar with Aggregation Theory. The key insight here is that the FAANG companies are not like the monopolies of the old.

These are probably a better introduction:

This depends on what you mean by "technology". I would expect them to be aware of emerging trends in the industry. Bonus points also for an interest in the latest computer science.

Thank you both for pointing this out. Traditionally this has not been the case. When adding a search engine manually, "suggest_url" is not available as an option, so the prediction service would always send data to Google. It seems like a good thing that they've fixed it for the new DuckDuckGo option, but it's a shame that you still cannot configure this manually.
