There is no reason at all to believe this. Search engines provide a huge benefit to sites which is why they let search crawlers access them.

Even today anyone who wants to opt out of being in the Google (or MSFT, or whoever) search engine can trivially do so by updating their robots.txt. Very very few sites choose to do so.

I wish there were simple bundles that subscribers could adjust periodically (don’t know that a balanced period might be, perhaps a week?) and allow them to pick from X number of reputable and worthwhile publications.

This subscription would do minimal metrics of tracking and allow people to adjust their feed. And also go back to traditional headlines (with all the fun puns and occasional hyperbole, but much less click-bait because that turns subscribers off.
Correlation is not causation. Somewhere where there isn't for example a lot of police presence might have a lot of petty crime, but the inverse isn't true. Many authoritarian countries with completely corrupt legal systems enforce petty crimes harshly. If anything this tends to suggest an erosion of the rule of law, since the purpose of the rule of law is to weight different interests against each other with things like proportionality.
When I slowed down the animation, I saw what was happening: the third thread is waiting on 'addHot', and while (and only while) it is waiting, 'addCold' is blocked - so there is no deadlock here, but is deadlock ruled out in general?

More generally, does the claimed ease of modification come at the cost of expanding the amount of reasoning about concurrency that you have to do?
> Defined by the percentage of the population earning less than half of the median national income, Japan’s poverty rate is more than 15%

Okay, but how bad is that, relatively speaking? Let's imagine income in Japan doubled over night for everyone. You'd still have that same rate of poverty. We need to look at the outcome. As the article says, you don't find drug addicts and petty criminals roaming the streets in Japan.

This number also disregards price differences. If you are a young worker, you likely live in the city, paying exorbitant Japanese urban rents, requiring a commensurate salary. If you are old, you likely live outside the urban center on a modest pension, with far lower living expenses. Japan of course has a very large elderly population.
It is so easy to say that customers are our number one priority but I realized Amazon.com was different when my team was implementing gift cards at a smaller (still subsidiary of a public) company (not Amazon).

The question was simple: why do gift cards have to expire? The answer that nobody wanted to say: because we don't want to leave money on the table.

It was a frustrating exercise in futility as the customer priority took a back seat at the first sign of decreased liability/free money.

Also we would cancel orders for relatively minor pricing mistakes where I believed we should have ate those costs as a teachable moment.

On the other end though, as a customer I'm more scared of Amazon than walmart. As an Amazon.com customer, I consciously avoid returning unless I absolutely have to because I care about my account. I fear amazon will honor my ridiculous requests to a point and ban me at some point. I (unsuccessfully) tried to return an air mattress to Walmart after a week of use because it didn't hold air perfectly (they never do). I don't fear being banned by Walmart.
They invented the patent, not some sort of technology. The innovation here is entirely legal.
Public safety, of course. Think of the children! That sort of thing always works for regulatory capture.
It's certainly flawed, but providing all of the assets creates a different class of problems. Both approaches have pros and cons, plus the original comment I replied to passed it off as a solution to the problem at hand, which it's not.
That's a different thing entirely. Google, as far as I know, has no plans to hide the domain entirely and only show information from EV certs.
I think the reason they don't care is because if they don't have to work with it (their destandardization of HTML I believe) they can trivially find countless alternatives themselves. They aren't restricted.

I don't think that falls into the category of surveillance in the context of encryption, because individual police officers abusing privileged databases will still be a thing in a perfectly encrypted world, unless we take all information away from official agencies.

I was thinking more along the lines of targetting of political dissidents, building unlawful programs, arresting people on the basis of information not lawfully collected, and so on.

The Snowden revelations brought this topic up when it comes to US intelligence abroad, but I don't think such violations ever occured inside the US. (or respective western countries, say).

> People's immigration status is not written on their foreheads. What you mean is that you can see nonwhite or hear non-English-speaking people.

Yes? And? So what? I'm not allowed to believe the evidence of my own eyes now else I'm racist?

> Sounds great, but what if the choice is meaningless, impossible, or infringes the rights of others? We can't "respect the choice" to, say, abolish rain on days when cricket is being played. And we should not respect the choice to take away the rights of others, such as the deportation and de-citizenship of British nationals who were born in Britain but happen to be of non-white ancestry.

Immigration could be drastically reduced if there were the political will, but all major parties are fiercely pro-immigration. And you are having a laugh if you are seriously arguing that the drastic change observable is all British nationals.

There's no point in us going much further as neither of us will convince the other. Bottom line: voters should be offered a choice, and that choice should be respected no matter how hateful you might think the motives. It's called democracy and it's all we have between us and the Gulags. Efforts to undermine it and free speech should be resisted at all costs.
I'm familiar with reinforcement learning and having done some private research in the subject, I disagree with your overall approach. While you might be able to make a basic model you won't be able to reach a global optimum with the vast variation in play you'll have after a dozen moves or so.

this is an incredible reference for a machine learning researcher who wants to fill in some gaps in their existing mathematical knowledge.

But I would be shocked if this would be of any use for someone trying to learn a little linear algebra in order to play with neural networks. For that I think you still want Strang.

I think "foundations" might have been a better word than "basics" here. "Basics" in any case is not in the printed title, only in the filename.
> If each time money changes hands, the government takes 27%, that means that 27% of all labor exerted in the economy goes to the government, and is spent, permanently.

But the labour goes towards a government program. If the program is absolutely worthless, then you're right: nothing of value was created and 27% of GDP was "spent". But if the service was just as valuable as what each worker would have done, then nothing is lost. The reality is probably somewhere in-between. Some work is wasted as a result of bureaucracy, but otherwise the government makes good use of its taxes.

> No, then the consumer would put that 10k / year towards some other purpose instead, and it would still show up in the GDP.

GDP measures value added to an economy. If the price of a product drops, it adds less value. Consider the cost of adding a column of numbers in the era before computers (done by a trained clerk) vs today, where the cost is effectively zero. We don't account for all clerical work that has been automated away in the GDP figures anymore because it's essentially free.

"I didn't have to write a test to know that I am passing a data structure correctly across every module of my application" is not a "taste" thing and comparing TypeScript to nominative typing isn't a reasonable and fair tactic.

We have legacy JavaScript dependencies and most of them worry me. I don't stay up at night worrying about the domain and range of TypeScript ones even if their testing is weak. There's a reason for that.cs TypeScript is loose where it should be loose and yet strongly encourages flexible but very clear typing that provides significant resistance to broken contracts and misunderstood semantics. I won't hire a web or Node developer who has a problem with it today because understanding the value of gradual and structural typing is, I strongly think, evidence of baseline competence.

"I write worse code, slower" is defensiveness masked as "a taste thing." We've improved the state of the art and it's better here.

No, please. I bought a "ticket" that wasn't actually a ticket (had to use the red box to "convert" it?) for a train and got an earful. Also walked into a Rewe with a bottle of water and the cashier was really displeased.

In the UK and some other EU countries, you'd just pay on the spot (either the fine or the ticket price). Some things aren't worth that much policing.

The first Betamax recorder sold in the US was the LV-1901 which included a 24 hour timer.

The first standalone Betamax VCR was the SL-7200 on which the timer was a $45 optional add-on.

Also at the time people were already buying wall socket timers for their reel-to-reel tape decks to record the radio, these would also work with a Betamax deck. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbNgbtZJAcU
Maybe there was a major misunderstanding somewhere.
In general, if at all possible, I think it's best to tell the police (or staff members of whatever facility you happen to be inside) when there's an object that does not belong.

My experiences with the Japanese police:

1. I once found a wallet and carried it all the way to a nearby police box. Had to fill out some forms but no problems.

2. Another time I found and captured a dog running around town and had the police come to fetch it. Again no problems.

3. Just today while renewing my driver's license, I had some time before the lecture started so I walked out of the classroom and searched for a vending machine. I probably looked like I was a bit lost, and a police officer asked me what was wrong.

- Anyway - The plural of anecdote isn't data but I've only had nice encounters with the Japanese police so far.

How do you make a good looking app with Tk? I know about Tile and Ttk, but how can I even trust those when the Windows look and feel they mention is that of Windows XP? Launched in 2001, abandoned by Microsoft in 2014 (!)

I like your (1) and (2), although (3) and (4) seem like the sort of bookkeeping that could only be fun if you had a computer to keep track of them.

> 1) Start with all pieces off the board. To make a move, you can either put a piece onto your half of the board, or move an existing pieces. Captured pieces cannot be reused (or maybe they can, if you want some sort of bughouse variant).

Can a piece be moved into any unoccupied position on your half of the board, or only its usual starting position? Can this be done when your king is in check (in hopes of blocking the check)?

> This of course means you have a 1/4 chance of the opposing king being in check, in which case you can capture it and end the game right there.

I think I don't understand this. The Wikipedia page doesn't seem to describe the starting set-up, but I guess it's the usual one for chess. Are you referring only to the first move? (Otherwise it seems to me that the chance of check depends in an extremely complicated way on the game so far.) In that case, I agree that there's a 1/4 chance of one of the pawns that could check the king being the assassin, but you still have only a 1/2 chance of picking that pawn correctly (even if it's there), so it seems more like a 1/8 chance to me.

> Just establishing "any TLS" as the new normal doesn't especially help in a world, where you get a certificate for free with a new domain.

What we are working towards is the thing users had been assuming was true all along, that when they visit google.com that's google.com, else why would it say so? They are astonished to learn that Tim's toy hypermedia system didn't do that and we're only fixing it now in the 21st century.

Whereas you're talking about the sort of imaginary world where everybody begins a novel by perusing the copyright notice just inside the cover, to discern whether they are in fact permitted to read further.

Users aren't going to try to figure out what your "dedicated status bar" means, they'll be annoyed that they can't switch it off since it wastes space with things they don't care about and then they'll just stop seeing it, the way they don't really see those channel ID logos (DOGs) on a modern TV channel.

Your "prefetching" idea is not only terrible for privacy it also doesn't actually do what you probably expect it does, because web pages are too complicated and have been for decades, for this to be effective. In practice because there are so many HTTP transactions _only_ the checks the software can do automatically are worth anything, any time you start talking about how a user should be examining certificate details you're talking about an idea that can't actually work.
Actually. many "advanced" texts are rather short (perhaps because they are more specialized or they do not need to be verbose or "entertaining" like many elementary texts are).

Hiding the scheme is a dangerous path, because users then have to depend on browser specific indicators of https, or other secure schemes.

I think it's a bad idea for that reason, and for another higher level reason. As a developer and sys admin before that I've always tried to assume my users are smart people and try to educate them about what they might not know, instead of assuming they are dumb and attempting to PICNIC-proof software/systems. I think hiding the scheme indicates an assumption that users are dumb and need to be told what to do. I've seen reporting on other indicators of this from Google over the last decade (e.g., Google Reader's sunset, Google+, working with China's censors, and others).

As you stated this is a public issue that has hurt the german car sectors public image, which has hurt sales and will continue to do so until the public image is repaired.

One of the biggest selling point for German cars is that they are more efficient than the Americans this event has broken that public perception and until they fix it they will struggle to compete with cheaper American cars.

If they don't restore the publics faith that the German car industry will deliver what they promise people like me will simply not buy German cars.

> It is politics and power they care about, not justice.

I agree with you but in this case the easiest way to solve the political issue and restore power is to deliver justice.

For maneuverability of the warheads, I was focusing more on them being able to adjust to a shifting target location, not avoiding SAMs. I don't think decoys and other countermeasures to ABM defences are currently relevant to non-ICBM platforms for the near future.

I think that the bigger issue with protecting the CVBGs isn't DF-21/26 but that lack of missile magazine depth and reloading. We can't even fill most of the VLS we have now, and as you mentioned, it'd be pretty simple to degrade our AD with threats that require a response but aren't as dangerous. And since replenishment at sea for VLS is not currently practiced, ships would have to cycle through Yokosuka (assuming it's still a functioning base after whatever the PLAN does) for reloads.

And since we have relatively shortlegged "interceptors" for the CVNs, with shortlegged AAMs (as currently deployed), I wouldn't be surprised if the PLAN decides that ALCMs still have tremendous value. Hell, we don't even deploy with full airwings these days.

At least the PLAN is pretty far behind in subs. For now.

Looks very similar to YAML. I'm not sure this will replace JSON though, for one specific reason.

The more levels of nesting you have in the Tree Notation file, the more of the file's space is ... well white space characters. JSON doesn't have this problem, as spaces are not crucial to the structure of the data.

This means that although there's less characters, you cannot minify the Tree Notation, like you can with JSON (as indentation is crucial for representation in the tree)

I could be wrong though...

Sadly then Android will probably falter.

Otherwise corporations are all about vendor lockin and fucking over the consumer for short term gain because greed is king these days.
