Not sure but my expectation is that at least they are sending back the address for the search results page so they'll know what you searched anyways.

I might be wrong, but this is obe of the reasons I don't use Chrome so if anyone has links that proves something else I'm interested.
What's more, this isn't an issue just for a nation of 326M people, this is global.

There are other issues which IMO are worse: how many people in America are killed by guns because we refuse to do anything about those legislatively? How many are killed by auto crashes because we refuse to build better trains and public transit?

However, other countries (like those in the EU) see this plane as problematic, and are grounding it. That's something that they can do. EU nations don't have any control over America refusing to fix its problems with guns and cars and public transit, but they do have the power to ground unsafe planes in their airspace, so that's what they're doing.

As for the US, the US isn't doing anything about this plane at all; that's why we're arguing about it here, combined with the fact that other nations are doing something about it.

JIT-less should really be the default on the web. The security implications of RWX memory are just so bad, and the amount of time that an exotic JIT meaningfully improves behavior of real world web browsing (as opposed to JavaScript benchmarks) is limited. For the rare web app where a JIT is critical, a simple "Do you really trust this web page to perform a lot of computation?" dialog would mitigate a lot of zero-click/one-click attacks.

I remember a famous French geneticist telling something along these lines about "nature vs nurture", or the influence of genes on behaviour, intelligence, etc: "debating on the greater importance of genes vs nurture is like asking of a winning motorcycle racer what's most important to win the race, the bike or the pilot. In any case, you know that neither the bike alone, nor the pilot alone would win".

And this is different from me doing the same thing with a status update.... how?

Also, you understand that any other media outlet can do and often does the same exact thing? You think inserting pieces of an agenda/propaganda into news articles is something limited to ZH?

How is this not just an argument against the Internet and free speech in general. I mean, "anyone" could just lie or say something false! How would we ever know the difference?!

>but I'm pretty sure Karl isn't trying to influence low-information American voters about Syria

Lets just go back to Monarchy, people are apparently too stupid and "low-information" for something as advanced as Democracy. Is that what you mean? Not saying you are wrong, btw, just asking.

How is controlling what people are allowed to read or watch or know about any different than controlling what they think, how is that not the same thing as controlling what they do and how they behave, how are you not destroying their independent agency, and essentially corrupting democracy at its very premise?

I agree that spreading misinformation and dishonest propaganda to manipulate ignorant and low-IQ people would lead to the very same end, that is obvious and was basically the status quo before the Information Age, but the difference between propaganda (noise) and censorship (silence) is like the difference between using a condom and full castration.
>Why is this being down-voted

Because you're making a claim with absolutely no evidence that the captain sat by and watched a rookie crash a plane and kill everyone on board and the captain did nothing to intervene and save his own life.

> Pretending that reality is something else is rarely helpful

It's not that I'm pretending that's not what reality is. I understand exactly what that reality is, and I don't like that reality, which is why I pointed out a way to think about reality in a different way, with the idea that if we each individually do it, then we change as a whole.

> Make up your own platform with your own user guidelines

You suggest just giving up and starting over. Why? Why can't we expect better of people? Are we so doomed to just be dicks to each other online?

> If you use twitter as it exists today, you better have a thick skin

You're right, but it doesn't have to be this way.

Maybe I'm naive, but change starts 1 individual at a time. You can't go on Twitter and say "ok guys we're gonna be nice now", but I can convince one person, and it's a cascading effect.

Who knows, maybe it's just human nature and the only way we will be nice to each other is if we are forced to at gunpoint. I prefer to be a bit naive over being a pessimist.

If you are a pilot for one of these American airlines, would still stand your ground and not fly?
Having read many commments on HN and elsewhere since the crash, I know I’m in the minority here when I say this but to me it seems like the US airlines and FAA are following their procedures, the same procedures that make the US airlines the safest in the world, while the rest of the world is, I don’t quite want to use the word panicking, but at least giving into pressure from people who aren’t aviation safety experts.

I don’t think it’s a simple as saying the US airlines and FAA are simply being greedy and placing profit over safety. The obvious easy thing to do from a PR perspective is to ground the planes. That they aren’t doing so in the face of immense pressure tells me that they base their decision on facts and procedure, not what-ifs and public scrutiny.

Let the downvotes begin.
For those that don't know 'quietly' is newspeak for something that happened that no press release was issued.

This is a deliberate Orwell reference? Vernor Vinge speculated in Rainbows End that everything which couldn't be searched for in a search engine would effectively become invisible. In 2019, that manifests as, "everything which can't be searched for in a search engine, which is backed up by crosslinked mainstream news sites and which isn't warded by words meant to scare casual readers away."

TL;DR: Original study used names that coded for socioeconomic status as well as race, and is older so people may have been more racist then than they are today. Newer study using names that ostensibly code for race and gender but not socioeconomic status shows no difference between race or gender coded names.

>> You think people can’t tell the difference between Melanesians, Caucasians and Sub Saharan Africans?

> Get someone to show you pictures and have you identify them. I bet you'll make a lot of mistakes.

I’m going to sleep now but if you find ten pictures of each I’ll be happy to do your survey. I’m sure many others would be too if you put it on surveymonkey.

The overlap in skin tone alone between Caucasians and the other two groups is ~0 so I doubt there would be any mistakes there. I’m sure there would be many more mistakes between Melanesians and Sub Saharan Africans but even just going on whether they have a broad nose or not you’d get pretty far distinguishing SSA from Melanesians. I’m not claiming perfect distinction. I’m claiming that doing better than chance is unremarkable. These groups are visibly different on average. Some groups the population values don’t even overlap. The shortest adult Maasai is taller than the tallest adult Pygmy.

> In the United States, the child of a white slave owner and a black slave was... black.

Who cares about the historical American caste system, with its one drop rule? The social construction of race is a real thing and so is the fact that different ancestry groups are different, and can be distinguished, on average and subject to error. Pretending ancestry is entirely socially constructed is crazy. If you get thirty pictures, 10 East Asian, 10 West Eurasian, and ten people who are first generation crosses from both populations, there is very unlikely to be any mislabelling of the base population individuals.
There's also a decent number of webnovels (sometimes perhaps too long to be a novel, may or may not be split into distinct books) without a unifying platform, just individual per-book sites - four that come to mind from different authors are Edally Academy, Practical Guide to Evil, Worm, and UNSONG (all different flavors of fantasy/sci-fi). At least the first and third of those are by authors who have also done other things with their own distinct sites. The sites often have links for works by other authors, as well. It might be a bit harder to break in that way than through a platform, but it's still much easier than print publishing.

> They state in their timeline that after many years Apple did allow Spotify.

This is a VERY different statement than the true one which is:

Apple didn't allow ANY streaming music (or audiobook, or podcast) apps on the watch due to not providing the API's. They didn't specifically block Spotify.
Dog Knows When You're Sick
"But this time it's different" they'll say.

It may very well be different. Sometimes knee jerk reactions are right. Sometimes they are wrong. This whole thing reeks of tunnel vision but without the data from the second aircraft we don't have any way to tell tunnel vision from legitimate well reasoned decision making.

I'm in the "ground them just to be safe" camp but the way this whole thing is being conducted leaves a very bad taste in my mouth.
you are entitled to look beyond your current employer and keep an eye open and your personal documents up to date. i see no issue here. if you do, perhaps remind yourself why you updated your resume in the first place and stop worrying about what it will mean for your current employer. :) basically, don't worry.
I'd like to try this on the desktop. The difference in memory usage is probably an order of magnitude. That could make my 2GB laptop usable again. I doubt I'll see the difference on any site I care about (no facebook for example). I remember when Java could make the browser totally unusable for several minutes. An interpreter would have avoided that.
Yes my analogy had a hidden variable, but it is "less wrong" than saying that entanglement allows FTL communication, for reasons analogous to those that I provided at the end; entanglement can only convey information as fast as light because the two parties detecting the entangled particles aren't communicating they are just on the receiving end of a shared experience. I don't think I can explain entanglement to a lay person more succinctly than the locket/glove analogy, even though it does hand wave the most quantum-ey part of the experiment.

This article is just the author telling me about himself, it says nothing about trucks nor their drivers.
> Occam's Razor

This seems like an objectively bad idea to me. I'm not a Tesla or Musk fan, and it seems plausible he could try to destroy a whistleblower.

Even so, "innocent until proven guilty" is the better standard. Occam's Razor is greatly influenced by our priors.
This is absolute nonsense. Tom Randall, the Bloomberg reporter who created the Model 3 VIN tracker, is one of the most notorious pro-Tesla hacks on the beat. He pumped the NHTSA "Autopilot is 40% safer" nonsense statistic and has done nothing to correct the record after the analysis was shown to be horrendously flawed. He routinely writes articles and Twitter threads which are nothing more than regurgitations of Musk talking points.

It's not like Tesla is novel or unique or better at electric cars.

It's not over-engineering; it's quite a lot easier to get Docker up and running and run things in it rather than dealing with init systems, package managers (and dependency conflicts), ansible, etc for every app. You get a sane, consistent, and standard interface to logging, networking, data management (volumes), declarative infrastructure, packaging, etc and Docker swarm makes it relatively simple to scale up to multiple nodes.
Using generative machine learning models on mobile
True, I just offered a counterargument based on conjecture. So let's assume at least rational behavior on the part of Spotify. What do you think would be their rationale for not building a feature that would enhance their product and is desired by customers? What do they gain by blaming Apple for not building it? This isn't rhetorical... I think there are potential legitimate reasons they'd want to do this, I'm just curious about where your thinking is on this.

according to studies, smaller farms use less energy per head.
Air Canada have 20, about 10% of their fleet. Similar level to Norwegian. Westjet has 12 -- or 7% of their fleet.
I hope the EU takes this seriously just like they did with Microsoft. They shouldn't charge the 30% if they have a competing product and are undercutting it.
The game has been "CYA" for a few days ago. Grounding the aircraft without information about the second crash is fundamentally a CYA exercise. It might be the right action to take but until we have the information we need to see if we are right or wrong it is a CYA exercise. Just because it's CYA doesn't mean it's wrong. Just because you turn out to be right later doesn't mean you didn't initially do it to CYA.
I don't think it exists outside of scientific trials. I can't imagine getting a prescription from your doctor only to find out it was a sugar pill to be accepted by society in any way.

If I understand correctly, one of the things that postmodernism says is that all speech is about power, not truth - that all claims of truth are really assertions of power.

It's not just that the border of fact and fiction has been dissolved. The question is not even considered relevant, because the statement isn't considered to be about truth in the first place.

"Everything can be interpreted in any possible framework" only in the sense that they will interpret your statement in the framework that makes it look the worst. Why will they do so? Because their interpretation of your statement is not about finding truth, but about their assertion of power. That is, these people are operating consistent with their philosophy.
Yes that is one of the reasons for big gubment interest in quantum machines, but allegedly those algorithms require control of millions of qubits and right now the highest qubit machine publicly disclosed is 50 I think.

I currently stay with Spotify because of its decently good UX (despite constant, nonsensical A/B testing) and because I had the impression they were behaving well. This perception is fragile.

I'm not sure making your service less attractive to users will increase your stock price either.
