>I'm asking why should they be treated differently, just because they're at different levels.

Well, you didn't ask that. But objectively that's what happens in taxonomies. Taxonomies are inherently, principally based on human experience and understanding. In your case what you're asking to do is just use the word "square" to refer to the set of all different shapes just because square might be the most used word when attempting to describe a shape. And that doesn't make sense. At least I hope you can agree with that.

>The reason given was that the context was too broad, but so is the "commercial" context across the whole world.

Commercial is a TLD because it's broad. TLD's, by their nature, are designed to be at the very top of the domain taxonomy. Hence the name "Top Level Domain." It's at the top. So when you say Amazon, a private company that won't be around forever, should get the amazon TLD you are creating a very weird situation where Amazon the company has cemented itself not as a company but just a thing that can be used to encapsulate other "things." Even despite the fact that Amazon the company named itself after the Amazon River which was named that way because of the amazon warriors.

That's a lot of amazon. Maybe, just maybe, amazon the private company shouldn't get to own that category? Since principally there is nothing to further classify the amazon TLD as belonging to amazon the company, and not say the amazon river. That's what .com is for.

Trademark law in general already deals with the fact that words can become generic. And when that happens that trademark ceases to be effective. This should be a sign that any kind of brand TLD is completely nonsensical, because private company brands do not belong in TLDs, because TLDs are meant to house other names/concepts that have more concrete usages. Not specific companies that use their name from other concepts or higher level concepts.

TLDs are for things, categories, high level groups. Not for trademarks.

Sundar became CEO in 2015, which is when Page/Brin stepped away.

So the question is "Why disappear now?", just when there are so many high-profile ethical issues facing the company.
I would have expected him to just rush it to the floor without debate so it could be voted down. Either way there was never a chance this legislation was going to make it through the Senate. There was a definite feel of "you can go back to eating the paste now House, the big boys of the Senate know what is best."
of course it's possible to do so. but DNS filtering works for most users, and is much easier to centrally manage on a budget (in terms of time / people / money) than browser settings.

i'm belaboring this point now, but people who actually do this stuff know that you can't just throw up a GPO to fiddle with chrome settings and expect everything to work. this culture of "power users" thinking they know the best course of action for every situation in IT (and it's always "that thing i Put In The Work to do when i was tailoring my own system") is really silly.

>The Certum ones turn out to be about 135 Euro, after the mandatory super expensive (and super slow) postage for the key fob to store the key on is included.

I heard that you could use any smartcard/hsm, not just their fob, so there might be same savings there.

>They do have "Cloud hosted" ones available too, which don't need the electronic fob. But I don't know anyone who'd trust their electronic signing keys to "the cloud". ;)

What's the issue here? Certum is the CA so they can already issue whatever certificates they want. They don't need to steal your cloud keys. The only real threat is if their service gets hacked, but at that point the hacker could also re-issue your certificate with his keys.
Quillette has proven to be of consistent poor quality, IMO. (and further, I've found it dishonest)

I find it fascinating how at some point, someone came up with the theory of us being apes, then evolved into humans, where it’s clear that that narrative is no where near definitive. Then why do these types of findings always get forced in that narrative, followed up with statements like “which we didn’t thought was possible”. Starting with a fixed narrative and looking at findings from a narrow perspective makes us overlook things - and perhaps - alternative theories.
I have loved Economist, The Intelligence podcast everyday. 20 minutes covering 3 topics with experts.
This makes a lot of sense, the question though is whether or not Sundar can make a policy decision that Larry and Sergey disagree with. (not a business decision, but a policy like "bringing back bottled water" or something like that).

Were I still there, I would be wondering if there would be a quarterly "Alphabet LMT (Last Month, Today)" where people from all the letters could mingle and ask questions of Larry and Sergey.

It would provide both transparency for the conglomeration and a chance for people to compare notes about how things are done in the other business units.
What exactly is their data policy that makes you uncomfortable? How does it compare with the mandatory "eCall" system that all new cars in Europe must have (SIM card and microphone that the car user(s) have no control over)?

Admittedly, that's not a minor benefit. If someone has access to your Gmail account, there's all sorts of information there they can use to engineer access to other services.

The naive optimist in me wants to think that making security keys accessible to more users, and getting them used to them, will lead to pressure for other services to follow suit. But then I think about how long people have been criticizing banks for ridiculous password policies that are seemingly universal in the industry, and I know better. Or bad security practices at organizations in general. I'd very much like to be proven wrong.
So... Does a Beresheet on the moon, or in the woods?
Your comparison is more apt than the GP's, but I don't think political municipalities are apt analogs (or at least they don't capture all of the nuance at play here). What we have is heterogeneous people groups (not a single identity) who live in a particular non-political geographic region wanting another culture's name for that region. I guess it would be as though the people of the Alps decided that they should own the .alpine TLD, but that doesn't completely capture the multilingual concern you were discussing...
Would that not also suggest poor leadership/stewardship? Open sourcing something shouldn't suddenly mean that a community turns up and takes over the project with unreasonable or out-of-scope demands.

You can be open source without requesting contributions or building a tribe around it. You can be open source and say no to things you don't like: go ahead and fork and adapt it to your own needs.
You haven’t discredited my assertion at all.

If you can eat faster, you get back to work faster. An early breakfast or tasty late dinner at work is a temptation to spend more time there.

I had a quick google and I’m not alone in my opinion. I’m not criticising the practice, it makes business sense and employees can choose not to use it.
the DNS filtering works on chrome. yes, people can bypass it, but it doesn't even work on firefox, so they remove firefox. this isn't rocket science, and you're being foolishly contrarian instead of trying to understand what the original commenter's actual situation is. this leads me to believe that you are hypothesizing about work you don't do, but feel perfectly qualified to talk about "half assing" things.

Sadly this appears to be true. But still i don't understand why we accept (in this extreme case) death penalty for homosexuals. Or women not having the right to decide for themselves. The list goes on.
Bottled water is back, and has been back for a while :)

That said, I agree. I think a wider town hall on all of Alphabet would be great, and would help employees see how all the pieces fit into a larger strategy.
I found I liked watching news after I got a police-scanner and could listen to things as they happened. Police/Fire/Ambulance scratched the itch of "what is going on right now" better then the news of 'What happened yesterday' that the media offered.

It also had the added benefit of being LOCAL, when my local news mostly covered tidbits of national interest.

I'd still tune-in to local radio to get the followup or fuller-details of an event.
I think now is the best time to step away, so that people know exactly who's in charge at a time of supposed crisis.
This is fantastic. But why did it take so long to prove the existence of blackholes ? are there any scientific breakthroughs that made it possible or it's more a technological achievement ?
Google Authenticator works with any service that uses the TOTP or HOTP standards.

That's not really what I'm trying to argue. What I'm trying to argue that you can have OSI open software that is not FSF free software and you can have FSF free software that is not OSI open software, and either of those types of software are labelled as proprietary by the parties that exclude them. My point is that just because something doesn't meet the OSI open source defintion doesn't mean it's proprietary.

However, if I do consider your argument, it's not very good. The argument would be that the Open Source Initiative is not the authority for the plain English meaning of terms. If the argument I'm making is that OSI's definition is not authoritative, you can't cite the OSI's definition as an authoritative counter argument. You're begging the question. Yes, people are going to assume "open source" means "OSI open software," but that doesn't meant that everybody is always using it to mean that.
I was going to buy the Powerbreathe on impulse, but there is a lack of authoritative news on IMST devices. People on running and cyclist forums also don’t seem to be fans of IMST. Perhaps that’s because it provides lower marginal benefit for them. Can anyone with a medical background provide their opinion on the linked study?
It only makes sense really, Chicago has been the ground zero for pinball since it's inception. Chicago Coin, Stern, Bally, Gottlieb and Genco were all operating out of that area. Stern is still operating today and is the main company pushing competitive pinball.

We are apes. There is no doubt whatsoever about that narrative.
We don’t push back on the process, we push back on the principle.

The point of the principle of free speech is not that all speech is beneficial but that we can’t possibly trust any agency with the power to decide what is and isn’t.

The “process” probably has no more flaws than any other process designed and implemented by mortals, it just goes to demonstrate why the whole censor-the-internet idea is wrong.
Many times I hear the phrase "what do you care, it's a rental!" People who buy used cars tend to avoid ex-rentals.

Once a group I was in was staying in a hotel. We were all heading out to dinner, and one person came out of her room, leaving the light on. I asked why she didn't turn out the light. She replied: "why should I? I'm not paying the electric bill."

Apparently that's pretty common, as most hotel rooms I stay in these days require you to insert your room key into a device that enables turning on the lights, so they turned off when you leave.
This sort of cynic pessimism is getting out of hand...

By most any measure, today's western democracies are the best place, and time in history, to be alive: life expectancy, crime, food availability, mobility.

This is also true of education and "being informed", although those are harder to measure. But literacy rates, high school and advanced degree proliferation, books being published, and of course internet access should be decent proxies.

That's not even including the vast improvements people who aren't white, able-bodied men have seen. Just ask around among women over 70 and you will find plenty who wanted to go to medical school and were stymied for whatever reason. My mother was told that, yes, she can matriculate. "But as long as I am professor, no woman will pass [some required class]"
So underfunded and overworked EU agency is asked to manage reporting for poorly thought out and overly broad legislation.

I love the idea of "no fiat, less war". I also love the idea of "less war". I don't believe war is a natural human occurrence but instead usually done for gaining fiat. However, I do believe that trading is quite natural and our current fiat implementation often simplifies trade. So maybe a borderless fiat simplifies it even more.

My kids also use the "5 whys". It's quite powerful together with "Explain Like I'm Five".

Saturns ring, the flattening of the accretion disk, the fact that planet systems will have most planets more or less in one plane and that spiral galaxies are flat (much thinner than they are wide at least) all have the same reason, yes. Basically most orbits align due to initial orbital momentum and the stuff that orbits in other directions sooner or later experiences enough friction to be forced into the common orbital plane.
You'd be amazed how much of this so-called "biological curse" is software-based rather than hardware-based -- have you ever found yourself in the psychological state called "flow" where you momentarily forget about the rest of the world (including the much-cherished sexual desire)?

The human race, if it wants itself to continue, will make that decision just fine using its thinking brain (we are evolved enough to no longer need to rely on instinctual desires for the continuation of species; if anything it only gets in the way--just look at all the wars and suicides and murders and so on).

And no one here said anything about denying a feeling. Your offense is triggered by something you seemed to have imagined. Is sexual desire the new religion? Is questioning the validity of it to be automatically taken as an act of blasphemy?

By the way, aggression is "biological curse" too. So why are we not equally going about killing others and rationalizing it in a similar manner?
Because among college men, the more senior you are, the higher status; also the single women of your age either date you or they date some guy younger(naah, women don't do that) or they date some guy outside of college(a bit harder) -- plus single women feel that it's "now or never" since it's the final year in college.

It USED to be be the same thing when you were in highschool before tinder and social media: as a male, the more senior the higher status you had -- i.e. 9th grader males will just drool at their female coleagues going out with more senior males, until in 12th grade you finally hit payday.

Not so anymore because tinder and social media allow females to reach a much broader male audience.

It's the same thing with women in their thirties -- they notice they get a lot less male attention -- first the bad boys stop noticing them and a couple of years later even the nicest of guys won't give them that sweet validating attention women crave, so the smart ones settle down with a nice guy in her early thirties, the not so smart ones end up basically cat ladies.
Let's say for the sake of argument that it qualifies as news. Does it change the overall argument that "news" outlets try to claim far too much of our attention for topics they've already saturated, in the process failing to bring new events to our attention? Or are we just sealioning here?

They were afraid of being labelled unpatriotic. This was during the time where Senator Max Cleland was attacked for being "unpatriotic" even though he lost three limbs in the Vietnam War
That seems like it should hold true, generally. However, it doesn't seem to hold true in present day US politics. Most people who pay attention aren't any less punished than those who don't. Very little of the political news has to do with policy or issues that are up for meaningful debate, and when it does it lacks nuance. Sometimes when unpopular legislation is in the pipeline there's not even an adequate description of what it is in popular media, let alone meaningful debate. Mostly I see divisive partisan propaganda and finger pointing. There's evidence to suggest voters preferences don't really impact policy in the long term, such as the Princeton study.

Before the announcement I've seen references to a 'caBLE'/ 'cloud assisted Bluetooth Low Energy' transport on the Web Authentication mailing list and W3C spec GitHub issues, this is exactly that. The VentureBeat article[0] confirms:

[...] But for now at least, the feature can only be used for 2FA on Google accounts. Google has submitted caBLE to FIDO and it’s under review by the working group.

So you don't word it in a way to assign blame. You say previous cost benefit analysis indicated X known trade off from lack of redundancy.

A message is not 'transmitted via MTA-STS', it is transmitted via SMTP that uses TLS (SSL) to secure the connection between mailservers.

MTA-STS [0] is a method to publish a policy on whether email servers (known as Mail Transfer Agents, or MTA's) are allowed to use insecure (non-TLS) connections for email from your domain.

MTA-STS is needed because the system to deliver email over the internet (SMTP) has a fallback method where it will switch to an unencrypted connection if the encrypted connection fails for some reason. By blocking a encrypted connection in the middle, an attacker can force a mailserver to fall-back to a non-encrypted connection. This way the attacker can intercept the message in transit. This is known as a downgrade attack. Some governments are known for doing this.

So, MTA-STS prevents downgrade attacks (to a certain extend, because the MTA's that your email passes through must support it).

There is also a new proposed standard called TLS-RPT [1] that allows for reporting the usage of TLS, so you know if your MTA-STS policy caused an email delivery to fail.

At Mailhardener [2] we are working on hosted MTA-STS and TLS-RPT integration (both features are still in closed beta for now). It's great to see Gmail adopting MTA-STS, as this will accelerate adoption globally.

I was a ACM National lecturer and gave a formal version of my Computer Faire talk, EPIC COMPUTER GAMES, written with Lee Hoevel. The talk (and article) described a visit-travel-explore-discover game played in a virtual space. It suggested that the user interface could be natural language, which could be done using an Eliza-like system. Computers then were mostly textual so instead of shooting with laser guns disputes were to be resolved by solving problems or completing riddles.
