I completely support the two-page mechanism, for several reasons.

I very much dislike the model where, after entering an email address, the page contents change to redirect you to a different login. For one thing, that’s a separate call out to the server, which takes longer than you expect on slow or lossy networks.

Also, I wonder how that UI change appears to someone using a screen reader. I think that, given a choice between this method and a two pages, the two pages is friendlier to the visually-impaired. But I would love corrections on that!

Having an API to match username to login method also means you have more code to maintain, and you have a potential source of information leakage to protect. With separate pages, you can use more-generic technologies, which react upon seeing a weird access pattern (like CloudFlare’s DDoS protection interstitial).

I dislike the optional password method for two reasons. First, infrequent users may not remember that they use SSO. They enter a password. If the site takes them to SSO, then it just reinforces the wrong notion that a password _is_ required.

It can also make things confusing if a person uses a site twice, once for work (which uses SSO) and once for home (which uses a password). In this situation, having a username and optional password on one page may interact weirdly with a password manager.

Those were just the first things I thought of. I expect there are more, but then I’d start rambling!
Funny enough I had to wait on the 5 second Cloudflare check to access that image. However I am using Chrome. That check I have found to be rather annoying. I assumed it would do it once, but it seems I have to go through it daily on sites I use regardless of which browser or device I use.
Google has been doing the same with reCAPTCHA v2 [1]. They are aware of the legal risk of outright blocking users from accessing services, so reCAPTCHA v3 contains no user facing UI, Google merely makes a suggestion in the form of a user score, so the responsibility to delay or block access and the legal liability that comes with it falls on websites.

reCAPTCHA v2 is superseded by v3 because it presents a broader opportunity for Google to collect data, and do so with reduced legal risk.

Since reCAPTCHA v3 scripts must be loaded on every page of a site, you must send Google your browsing history and detailed data about how you interact with sites in order to access basic services on the internet, such as paying your bills, or accessing healthcare services.

It's needless to say that the kind of data that is collected by reCAPTCHA v3 is extremely sensitive. Those requests contain data about your motor skills, health issues, and your interests and desires based on how you interact with content. Everything about you that can be inferred or extracted from a website visit is collected and sent to Google.

If you'll refuse to transmit personal data to Google, websites will hinder or block your access.

It's pretty fitting that the justices who were appointed by presidents who seized power against the wishes of a majority of voters were the ones to drag this corruption-enabling decision over the finish line.

This article appears to be counter factual: it says that the "conservative members" of the court voted to uphold.

It should say the "Republican members" of the court voted to uphold.

This is a bad decision, one that most of us will regret.
I didnt make that comparison. I dont know how you took from my comment what you did. The Commentators and victims are not analogous at all, they arent even the same part of the anlogy.

I brought up two similar but different types of speech, observers advocating violence towards oppressive authority. If this were an elementary school analogy, prisoners would be the militia not the reddit commentators. The guards and police are both blindly following government orders, whether those orders are right or wrong. Is advocating violence wrong regardless of if the target of said violence is behaving morally or immorally? The topic at hand is where reddit does (or doesnt) draw the line of acceptable speech regarding advocating violence.

Anarchism dominates, but some anarchists failed. Do you really think that the RNC has a political philosophy beyond "do whatever we need to stay in power"? There is no rule of law, they just tell liberals there is so as to pacify them.
They show an example of that in the article.
They can do it without passing a law actually (which is a bit scary if you think about it.) Congress and congress alone has the power to determine its membership. They can simply pass a resolution stating that no member who was elected by a district that was gerrymandered by some specific criteria will be seated in the future. The courts can go pound sand if they don't like it.

Probably the solution is the other way around. Start with a password field, but keep it hidden - that way, password managers can autocomplete it (and submit the form with username & password immediately), but humans won't see it, so won't be entering passwords from different sites...
You never said it. A reasonable person would infer it.

I spend too much time arguing with trolls on the internet for fun. I don't think you intended to, but your post uses a lot of techniques widely used by trolls such as: linking to the complicated, full explanation while telling an edited, "technically true" version that can be misinterpreted by a low-effort reader. Having an escape hatch is very important to them.

Again, I don't think you are trolling. You just ticked off the checklist of a troll by accident. I'm only being a pest in the hopes that in the future you'll put more consideration into how your writing is interpreted by low-effort readers.

Text is such a crappy medium for casual conversation. It's amazing the internet hasn't burned itself down.
> this is too much

There's a reasonable back and forth between the majority and minority on this question. The majority rejects unilaterally expanding the set of criteria the courts can use to overturn political maps. There's a good separation-of-powers argument for that conservatism.

(The court would prefer another branch decide what is and isn't too partisan, in the way Congress defined what is illegal racial gerrymandering.)
Yes, but if they did they are giving away security information: they are acknowledging that the entered email address is a legit delegated login. That's a bad thing to do, security-wise. You don't want bad guys to start trying email addresses and be able to see which ones are good email addresses.
A solution maybe is to have a second page for password managers. Maybe there should be a standard meta tag with a link to password manager friendly login page.
> How can each vote carry equal weight if 60% of the voters get to select 30% of the elected officials?

Your vote is measured the same way as my vote. Your vote doesn't equal three-fifths of mine.

There is apparently not a Federal regulation on crafting districts such that they overall skew in a given direction. In practice this can and does result in your vote being effectively worthless if you are in a district that is not your particular flavor.

Depending on your philosophies, the judiciary is not tasked with legislation or "correcting wrongs" but with evaluating the current ruleset and determining if things are correct given those rules. So despite that you and I can look and say "well regardless of the letter of the law, the outcome surely isn't right" you have those that view this as not being in their power to change. The law legislates the way in which the vote is counted, not in the district-creation process.

One would assume this is how his head remains intact.
I would imagine it's for historical accuracy.

Ask HN: Why doesn't a GDPR HTTP response header exist?
Is there a reason why the browser makers/W3C/whomever haven't created a gdpr-approval-required header, or something similar? Seems like pointing to a txt, html or xml file and blocking cookies until it's accepted would be a much easier way for everyone to comply with GDPR.

Then again, I admittedly don't know much about how these things get implemented so I may be way off base.

They typically won't completely deny access, but only disallow certain actions (posting a comment etc). All out denying access will likely get site owners into trouble, at least in the EU - you need to be able to access privacy information, publisher info etc. I'm also not sure whether non-opt-in usage of recaptchav3 is GDPR compliant.

Hamza is a letter (basically it is what the letter alif is supposed to be, the long vowel usually written as alif is not a letter itself). But for historical reason it has a very weird set of orthographic rules where is can or can not be seated on other letters depending on the context (and unlike other Arabic letters, the context here involves the vowels).

Show HN: High Performance Dicom Medical Image Parser in Go
Gerrymandering is enabled by data collection and algorithms that were once impractical to implement. In declining to take up the issue of gerrymandering in the previous Supreme Court, Justice Kennedy identified this issue.

As reported by NPR [0]:

> "Technology is both a threat and a promise," he wrote, noting that with the advent of computer technology, the temptation to leverage partisan advantage would "only grow" unless constrained by the courts. His hope, he wrote, was that "new technologies may produce new methods of analysis" for the courts to use in identifying and remedying the problem.

So. Let's talk about ethics. This is a community that sees the issue, understands the subtle ways in which data and algorithms can be manipulated to systematically disenfranchise people, and has the power to create the tools that Justice Kennedy wrote about. This is also a community that has the power to resist -- to not let its expertise and skills fall under the employ of those that would harm democracy.

Where's the action?

I'm no expert but if it was as easy as you are making it out to be, this inefficiency already wouldn't exist. Many CEO's already prefer profitability and market share already, I think.

Perhaps rather than give some off-the-cuff (and admittedly fairly weak) examples, I should have said that I don't think these companies view these roles strictly as inefficiencies - but that they offer some secondary or tertiary value to the company such as boosting various job metrics. (Think not just employment #'s, but things such as diversity metrics, wage metrics, etc.)

This also assumes that the company even recognizes that the job is not really required. I would hazard a guess that, especially in large corporations, many of these jobs fly under the radar. Perhaps something that was essential 20 years ago is now mostly or completely automated, but Mr. Smith has been with the company for 15 years, and isn't going to tell the boss that his position should be eliminated.
Agreed.

I would like to see an add-on that sends a sick amount of clicks to the 3rd party and costs them a fortune. If there was no ROI, ads would diminish. Content does not need to be free. I pay for email. I pay for other online services I use. I pay to go to the cinema despite the eye-watering robbery at the concession stand (my kids love it).

Or on the less ramped up scale, something that send all ads to /dev/null, letting them think the ad was delivered and viewed, but it goes into the bit bucket. I remember years ago when Flash was a thing. I used to symlink .adobe and .macromedia to /dev/null to avoid the LSOs. Flash worked, but I never had to worry about LSOs not being cleared when the browser was sanitized.

It's true, the Constitution was written without regard to parties, which I think is a huge failing, but one that could be remedied - if we didn't have partisan politics. But Supremes have created new law many times, both good and bad, and they should have this time as well. What will likely happen is people will challenge maps on other reasons, with no obvious likelihood of success. I have always felt that the rule for drawing a map should involve some kind of rational geometric principal, such as requiring the maps to have a minimal boundary length, making it mostly impossible to rig. But not very likely to ever happen sadly.
It's a real obstacle; I don't know of any mainstream party in Germany that would consider even putting this in their political programs. It's a complete non starter and would just lose them precious seats without actually having a chance of ever getting a parliamentary majority. "Not in my backyard" is very much a sentiment across the political spectrum.
Microaggressions are definitely a thing and one misuse of the word does not invalidate the concept. If you see a misuse of the term 'sexism' it's not okay to say "I suppose this is the natural consequence of making 'sexism' a thing." The same is true here.

They also teach their young if someone hurts them. In some parts of the world, a way to keep birds away from orchards is to kill a crow and hang it for the others to see..such a human thing to do. It always reminds me of how they hung Il Duce at the end of WW II and how undignified it was to do that a crow..a creature that is far superior in intelligence.

I have always imagined that we have alien intelligence amongst us..two off the top of my head..octopus and mycelium. I have waffled about corvids..is it learned intelligence or is it innate animal/avian intelligence? Which usually makes me wonder about ‘intelligence’. What is the true definition of intelligence? Etc.
You have the cause and effect backwards.

I have had the opportunity to observe a very wide variety of businesses in several industries and have noticed the same thing as multiple studies - a high degree of sociopathy among execs. My conjecture is that this is both because aggressive sociopathy will help people rise among the ranks, and also because the structure of business will tend to actively select for those traits (unless active counter-selection is implemented).

So, sure, one does not automatically change by becoming a manager (although there are psych studies indicating high income causing reduced compassion for others), but there is good reason to expect higher "immoral or evil" behavior in higher ranks.

I recently bought iPhone 8 after using 4S for many years. That screen is too huge! I would switch it to SE if not for better tech inside (better fingerprint reader is the main selling point for me, but better CPU is nice too). I'm using iPhone 8 for almost a year now and I can't get accustomed to it. I loved when I could use phone with one hand. Also my hands are huge, so I have no idea how could one use it with one hand (without that gimmick with double-tapping home button).

Now recent iPhone models are just not appealing to me at all. I don't want to use face recognition and they no longer use fingerprint readers.

Honestly, give me tiny iPhone with 3'5" display, put latest tech inside and you'll have my $300 immediately.

This is the answer. It seems that most website owners are somehow super scared of a targeted attack, since it is indeed trivial to bypass (and they realize that), even if nobody will take the time.

I've heard stories from people that own small sites and still have someone targeting the site with custom scripts, but never anyone I know (not even a friend of a friend, only ever random people on the internet). But there is also the (much larger, from what I can tell) group of people that never had these issues. But people don't like risks, and installing a tracking captcha from google is made very easy. "Everyone does it, that ought to work!" (Meanwhile I hear of a 90% success rate from a recaptcha browser plugin, but who cares about that right?)

Robots could be even more effective, if somebody decided to keep marketing from ruining them.

A big part for robots is that they "can be used by everyone, even untrained personal". So in order to have that USP for marketing, tons and tons of "easy-to-use" tools and software are generated. And they are in the same way bad, as the average click to program gui is bad. They allow for creation of a beginner system.
And teach you all the bad habbits.
And prevent the system from ever growing and maturing, as you have to keep it backwards compatible.

What this market would actually need is a new robot, with a grown up language (java, c#) and a steam like marketplace- allwowing for all those factory workers, to buy third party software which only needs a wizzard - fill out forms installation type. Want some pick & Place? Download the Pick&Place-App for 5.000$, teach the origin, originx, originz, specify number of layers, specify sensors if existing, here is the generated interface for the plc, works next.
Developed something in addition? Why not sell it in the hat-shop with a 20 % hat-shop markup?

With that and some real competition you could steam roll away tons and tons of outdated, problematic robots.
