Disclaimer: I work at Google but not on YouTube, speaking in a personal capacity.

Long story short, it doesn’t really work this way.

As an example, go to google.com on Internet Explorer 6. No, I’m serious. You will find that it loads just fine and even functions, over plain HTTP. It’s only a small subset of functionality, but it does actually work.

You can’t do that with feature detection.

YouTube may have crossed the threshold where feature detection should be usable for all of the supported platforms and fallbacks, but feature detection is not a panacea; it does take time to execute feature tests, and it can be difficult to detect certain bugs.

Most web developers are definitely not Google, and shouldn't copy what Google is doing without knowing that they need to. It’s generally ill-advised to copy things without understanding them anyways.

Not assuming malicious intent makes sense to me; the Edge user agent was already very tricky due to the fact that it has long pretended to be Chromium anyways.
I remember it! It was a sort of desktop in a webpage. I didn't even know that sessions existed in PHP and so I ended up (badly) reproducing them by storing a random id in a database. It was awful. I loved it.

That was a good 15 years ago. I'd say "the good ol' times" but I have to say it's been only getting better.

"But we need to criticize it for the right reasons..."

Sure, but no one is criticizing china for its conservation efforts. Their political assassinations and decimation of civil liberties however...

I'm all for changing the unsustainable and ecologially detrimental status quo among western liberal democracies-- but ecofascism or eco-state-capitalism are not a viable alternatives. Literally any government can plant trees and shut down factories-- let's not use this to defend unrelated horrors.
Someone needs to write this book / make this movie.
>Would it be surprising if women that dates other women generally look for high status, while men that dates other men look for genetics (ie appearance)?

Absolutely fascinating question, I would not be surprised by this possibility at all. It seems quite probable.
> Literally no one lives like that.

Why not? Let's bet a few people do. There are certainly people who live their life in a permanent joyous state, no matter what. Rare, perhaps but I wouldn't dismiss their experience as a condition.
Nassim Taleb is a political activist, not a psychologist. There are surely legitimate criticisms of IQ by relevant scientists, some of those are available in the criticisms section of the Wikipedia page.

Negative, the contractors being discussed in the linked article are actually full time employees of staffing firms. They aren't employed by Google, they're employed by the likes of Adecco. Their healthcare isn't as good as what Google itself offers, granted, but they do have some benefits.

There's an incredible amount of conflation here between individuals that are directly contracted to companies (what most of these comments seem to be talking about) and then what actually happens at large corporations (staffing firms that contract out their own employees).
Economies of scale would make it profitable considering WhatsApp doesn’t even have to host anything, just relay messages, and since it’s a private platform there are no moderation expenses either.
If it is what I think it is, it I'd not a surgery but a simple procedure to drain it. It took about 10 minutes and they were able to do it in urgent care for me so it cost me just the copay for the visit - $35. I wrote in another comment that people don't know that they can use urgent care most of the time. I forgot about the issue you had, which is insurance. That's also a huge problem that you can only use certain facilities. I remember being stressed about it when a family member was in pain. The thing is that once I found one that works with my insurance and is 24/7 I already know where to go so I forgot about that hassle.
People do need to be convinced that nuclear is better than natural gas. In calm winter nights, nuclear is competing with natural gas, not wind. And because of fracking and horizontal drilling, the electricity prices have fallen in deregulated markets like the midwest, and electricity revenues have dropped precipitously. When you have a plant that's all capital and O&M with very low fuel cost (like a nuke), this unexpected drop in electricity price is hard to swallow and you shut down.

Having natural gas prices go back up because it emits greenhouse gas would have a lot better optics than subsidizing nuclear plants. But you're right that Iowans don't care about that. Shoot, even in Seattle we couldn't get a carbon tax passed.

The nuclear industry needs to get serious about reducing its costs. It's not very efficient. They've got a few hundred people at each plant doing regulatory compliance paperwork with some really inefficient and expensive process.

At least the nuclear industry is trying, a little: https://www.nei.org/resources/delivering-the-nuclear-promise
I would support this, if there was a social support for people without "background". Parents, and other relations who support you "pulling" through are the main reason for people doubting themselves to continu studying. And we all dobuted ourselves, in this long dark nights, battling some unknown compiler bug or trying to understand a completely new concept.

I do not want affirmative action here, i want socialisizing support in the sence of "people who didnt get it-annonymous" connect here group, and a instilling of a sense of belonging. Some profs do this work informal and voluntarily and i cant sing theire praise loud enough.
It is, but how do you know the material is hard enough?

If I teach history and have a finale exam with one question, “who was the first president of the United States?” then the students will all get A’s, but nobody would consider that a college level history test, and even if you made an A, there is no way to know that you mastered the subject.

That’s a simplification, but in essence the issue at stake here.
The article brought up a few points that should encourage broader discussion, around the general idea that contractors don't have the same agency as FTEs, which in the case of Google, has reportedly led to:

- project leaders pressuring contractors to work longer hours than stated in their contracts without reporting overtime (on the vague possibility of a full-time role).

- the contractor recruiter who was sexually harassed by a FTE manager and may have been fired due to her rejection of him
Hospitals are for-profit but with no price transparency. So they can make profit but their customer (patient) has no chance to make an informed choice.

We are going to much in the extreme, and missing on many very useful thing, just because the people introducing it to us are not scientific credible sources.
MIT spinout offering up to $1.5M to ventures in Applied Category Theory
This article's claims fail the smell test. Ultimately we don't know what we don't know & simplistic overarching models are probably missing key components, many of which are non-linear. 200 years is a tiny window when it comes to cosmological time. The methodology of measurement & extrapolation of data also needs public scrutiny. Interpretations of geological events are ridden with conjecture to fit an overarching narrative.

Here's what we have evidence of. Earth receives the majority of it's energy from the Sun. The Sun has significant fluctuations. Earth is affected not only by infrared & visible EM, but also by higher frequencies of EM. Earth is also affected by magnetism from the Sun. Earth's Magnetosphere is affected by the Heliosphere. A weaker Magnetosphere means less protection from Cosmic Rays, Coronal Holes, CMEs, & other space weather. Cosmic Rays perturbs water, seeds clouds, induces volcanic eruptions & earthquakes. Volcanic ash & cloud cover increase albedo, which cools the earth.

The "year without a summer" in 1816 (~200 years ago), was caused by the Mt. Tambora eruption. The Carrington Event happened in 1859.

> In this part you’re confusing what a rebinding attack is: by serving a DNS response with a short TTL an attacker is able to associate two different IPs

But it doesn't really work.

I query my DNS, on my home router, not your DNS.

And the DNS on my home router query the ISP's DNS, which caches requests.

I bet you can't go below few minutes resolution.

I had this problem when validating the Letsencrypt DNS challenge, I had to let certbot run for almost 20 minutes before my home router picked up the new value.

When I'm at work, I use the company's DNS, which ignores non standard TTLs and caches the first answer forever (well... almost) and disallow external domains that resolve to reserved IP addresses.
Companies shouldn't be providing benefits anyway. It's a terrible model. Much better for the government to be providing healthcare for all than to have it unnecessarily tied up with employment. The United States is unusual in this regard because of a historical quirk of tax evasion.
Belonging
for reasons that must be obvious,
i cannot write our break-up poem
we would have to break up first.
but we didnt
we simply decided to carry our love and keep
it somewhere else, besides in each other's
sight
we did not break
we loved apart
we worked with the hope that one day, when
we have laid our loves in two seperate places
long enough they would forget to whom they
once belonged
and we would teach them to start belonging to
someone else

Yo.lo!
The president of the Philippines recently threw a tantrum, threatening to declare war on Canada if they didn't take back their garbage.

I dug into it and found that the president is completely justified in being pissed off. A Canadian company shipped "recycling" which turned out to be undisputable trash. Diapers and such.

What pisses me off is that I cannot find the name of this company anywhere. So Canada is taking all the blame for some company that shipped them trash and labeled it recycling.
I actually wanted to do something similar one time and I figured there’s one way to do it:

1) Get a domain name for the project, e.g. mycoolwiki.tld

2) In the installer/setup provision for the user a random subdomain, e.g. d2c8116f19d0.mycoolwiki.tld

3) Use Let’s Encrypt DNS method to provision cert

4) Redirect d2c8116f19d0.mycoolwiki.tld to LAN IP

It’s not ideal because you need some external infrastructure and it assumes no DNS rebind protection.

However, if your webapp has a client and server, that is communicates via API only, you can actually do a lot better:

4) Setup local server to accept CORS requests from d2c8116f19d0.mycoolwiki.net only

5) Host client at d2c8116f19d0.mycoolwiki.tld

Additionally,

6) Make the client a PWA with offline support

and/or

6) Offer browser extension to use local copy of the client when user visits ∗.mycoolwiki.tld

Though for my use case I actually wanted to have ∗.mycoolwiki.tld/ipfs/<hash> be backed by IPFS and offer generic extension that both verifies that the IPFS gateway is playing nice and (if configured) redirect to local gateway.

Also offering Electron client instead of browser would work as well and saves you getting the cert.
Thank god they forked it. Parts of Trident were older than unit testing was a best practice. The cultural best thing to do was wall off those parts and never touch them because regressions would be impossible to find.

I once did a bug fix for an assertion in the Trident. It’s still one of the hardest bugs I’ve ever solved. It was hundreds of stack frames deep in recursion (DOM layout code) in a function that was several pages long and had bidirectional goto statements. If I didn’t have the amazing features of Windbg it would have been impossible to solve. In the end it was a variant of the C++ slicing problem (if you store a subclass in an array of superclass you’ll chop off the member variables of the subclass).
> Just how high of a pedestal do you put FB on?

It's not about any of their hierarchical importance, it's about how useless that idea is.

The CEO sure has the last word on everything (and even that isn't true), but he isn't the actual expert on its platform.

Having the head of state would make no sense there, they have better things to do and sending countries representatives that actually have time to learn and understands the actual matters make much more sense.

Just like sending CEO doesn't make sense, sending actual experts that can answers theses questions much better make much more sense.
I quite enjoy exploring some of the languages linked here:

User friendliness is not binary but a spectrum and CVS is way above being "usable", even if it isn't the most user friendly VCS out there (hint: git isn't either). It certainly is not "insult to whatever of the user".

As for ed, even though i realize you're not serious,
screen oriented editors replaced ed as soon as Unix could use them and Unix developers at AT&T used ed mainly because they lacked the hardware to use anything else.

It should be obvious that the difference between the user friendliness of a program that shows you a real time window of the text you are editing with immediate feedback and a command line interface based editor designed for slow teletypes is much greater than the difference between two slightly different sets of commands that will be the majority of one's VCS use will be.
You could fit well as a technical co-founder if you are willing to get on that boat ride.
As a Chrome user, you might not realize this, but Microsoft's behavior here is no worse than how incessant Google is about trying to get you to switch to Chrome, and this started like a decade before Microsoft got more aggressive about Edge marketing. Microsoft's behavior is arguably only trying to match parity with the competitor who has bullied them behind the dumpster in the schoolyard for too long.

Every single Google page has popups about switching to Chrome. Sometimes Gmail has had both one on the bottom and one on the top at the same time.[1] Besides the general breakage for anyone not using Chrome, as seen in the article, Google's just constant advertising for Chrome in every single one of their products is obscene, and no matter how many times you click "No thanks", it comes back.

I don't want to say "No thanks, Google". I want to say "F--- off, Google".

One thing that we always joked about but have never done, is giving nasty people's names to a bunch of recruiters to help them to find a job someplace else.

More practical is making sure you have account management with relationships at a higher level to put a stop to the abuse.
Back in the early days of smartphones (back when it was just blackberries) I worked for a company where we provided service (rarely, but it happened) to a site where no electronics were allowed aside from what you needed to do the job past the front gate... and even the you were told not to bring anything in the car you couldn't afford to loose at the front gate. We were told to expect to leave the site with nothing but you, your clothes, and the keys to your car that they'd give back at the gate.

Any phone wasn't even returned if you parked at the front gate and left it there (they searched all vehicles). It was also very clearly stated that you do not try to hide anything if you accidentally brought your phone and to just accept it was gone, it was considered very bad form to hide anything.

Anything you took in (laptop...) was carried by solders until you needed it, and nothing electronic ever left the site.

It was extreme but to some extent.... the most sure fire security I ever saw. I suspect it is the best policy for sensitive sites. Maybe not civilian friendly, but then again who knows where we end up eventually.

Basically almost anything was considered a security risk... decades later they're still right.
The top tier in Norway is around 45%, but it kicks in at just $90,000. You have to make $500,000+ to hit that marginal rate in most U.S. states. And the rates below that aren't much lower: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxation_in_Norway#/media/File.... It's 36% at about $23,000. In California, the marginal rate at $23,000 is about 24%. Then there is a the 25% VAT, versus the 7.25% sales tax in California.

An investment banker in NYC pays a marginal rate of 50% above $1 million. She could see her tax go down slightly under a Norwegian system. But Norway raises 10% more of its GDP in tax revenue than the U.S. That's coming from somewhere, and that's the middle class. But that approach is exactly the opposite of what Democrats in the U.S. are proposing.

Is Youtube still using Polymer 1.0 with the deprecated shadow DOM v0 that's only supported in Chrome without polyfills [0]? I still use the old version because the new version was annoyingly slow in Firefox last time I checked, and I have no reason to switch to the newer one with lower information density and contrast.

It doesn't deny access. I just tested it, it just gives you a version of YT with fewer features and a dated UI.
That's true, and I accept that - though my claim was more intended to attack the notion that a certain analysis is useless just because the thing being analyzed would exist otherwise - whether that existence is due to initial theorists (i.e primes are a creation of the mind) or whether it's due to their non-physical existence as Platonic forms was a little beside the point of what I was trying to say. I meant it more in the way that we could say science would still exist even if Popper hadn't theorized falsificationism.
I see this argument a lot in China threads, "America has already used up the world's supply of crime, so everyone else is forced to remain innocent." Unfortunately, bad government is not finite, every country can manufacture their own.
Now suppose your product is personalized search. You need every piece of data about someone, for as long as possible, so that you can do ML on it and personalize their search results. You could even argue that targeted advertising is part of the product in the same way that vendors pay grocers for shelf space and yet the cereal they were paid to put in front of you is a product you might actually choose (especially given that the contrary would imply they're wasting their money paying for placement).

And never mind search, personalized anything based on ML.

Which of those things does that violate? You can specify the thing ahead of time, anything that isn't statistically independent from the outcome is relevant but the only way to know that is to have the data to analyze it and that relation could change at any time, there is no natural time limit on how long the data remains useful for that purpose, etc.

My claim is not that that would necessarily be the outcome in an EU court. They're apparently quite against the idea in general -- prohibiting that sort of bulk data collection seems to be what everybody puts out as the justification of the rules. What I'm asking is, by what reasoning does that ostensibly undesired behavior actually violate those rules?

Meanwhile on the other hand, are we sure we actually want it gone? If ML-driven personalized medicine ultimately gets good enough to extend your life by a decade or make it so that you don't spend the second half of it bedridden, it would be worth quite a lot of cost to have that benefit.

It seems to me we're going about this whole thing wrong. The problem is not the data, it's the centralization. Having your own data is valuable, but it should be yours, on your device, not Facebook's. And then you knock out a major category of mass data breach because all the data doesn't actually exist in any one place.

Then if you want to share it with your doctor, you should be able to do that. But if your boss wants it, or the government without a warrant, it's still yours -- nobody gets to demand it, and Facebook can't provide it to Cambridge Analytica without your consent, because they don't have it. You do. And the "personalized news feeds" most people don't actually want isn't enough to convince you to give it to them.

But that's a completely different thing. It's more of a technical solution -- a different architecture that protects privacy intrinsically, rather than a set of rules that corporations can try to weasel out of with lawyers and lobbyists and jurisdiction shopping and trade wars.
We have to pay for ambulances in Canada as well.
> Chrome simply has some sort of workaround built in by Google to allow them to make the UX slightly better on their own site.

The optics on that are potentially terrible.

The dominant browser from the dominant search engine company deliberately breaks a standard it enforces elsewhere only on its own sites.

Ouch.

> anecdotal evidence, ie, "what worked for them", is still valid data, and should be valued as such

It's useful information, but it's also limited information. If Atkins worked for your buddy two cubes down, that might indicate that it's worth trying yourself, but it's less useful in terms of making, say, national level nutritional policy. Though I suppose in this case I'm more worried about lobbying than anecdotal data.

> Note the passive voice in "This nonsense should cease."

That is not actually passive voice: note that "cease" is not inflected into the past participle, and it is modified with a modal "should" instead of an auxiliary (almost invariably "be"). In grammatical construction, this sentence is identical to "You should go," which I think you should recognize as not being passive either.
