I doubt that, because the number of times they completely ruin chrome as an intranet browser in the last few years with TLS handling, self signed cert handling, and general settings window changing malarkey shows that they are not even catering to that market very well, especially when they add a workaround and take it away in a very short window which for better or worse is often much shorter than most large organization's change control windows. Firefox generally keeps most workarounds working for as long as I've needed to worry about it, but Chrome's timelines seem arbitrary and the UI changes make keeping Chrome configuration guides a constant churn.
Black dolls exist, though. What black momma bought their kids only white dolls???
There are other ways to do this that do not hide parts of the URL.

Educating people should not hide information, but instead present information in a way that is more understandable. I think the Chrone team is making URLs harder to understand.
FTP doesn't even support secure transfer, right?
1. It's malware from the perspective of the entity whose computers it was installed on. To respond to your meta-point, phone locks are merely a technical control to help ensure consumers abide by their contractual obligations. At least, this is the case since companies have been obligated to offer unlocks for phones whose contracts are paid off.

2. Presumably, it's a combination of a number of mechanisms, like judgment-proof consumers or identity thieves unlocking and reselling devices.
It sounds like he had to install malware in the call center / AT&T remote location so he could get the unlock codes remotely. "Malware" is probably not the correct term.

Once the phone is ported to another network, the original provider is basically SOL, contract or no.
My home internet in the Rocky Mountains, USA is delivered via mesh-WiFi provided by one of my neighbors. It's a really cool system actually- the towers are battery/solar operated and some can only be accessed via horseback. Covers ~500 homes.

5mbps down/2mbps up is what I get for $79/month, and I've learned to live with it. The only other option is satellite internet with restrictive usage caps. We used to have another competitor in the space but after big floods in 2013 they exited our area.
If they’re not able to pay hundreds of euros per year to access the european market, they’re not likely making much money off the euro market... so what’s the problem?

The ACA requires insurers to spend at least 80% of premiums on direct patient care. To grow profits, they must grow premiums.

Exactly.

The statement quoted makes it sound like people accepting bribes is entirely the fault of the person proposing the bribe. The blame is shared, nobody had their lives derailed by anyone but themselves as far as I can tell.

I think the malware was installed to allow him generate unlock codes on the at&t servers, not on phones
> relative poverty and short lifespan constitute unexpected predictors of centenarian and supercentenarian status, and support a primary role of fraud and error in generating remarkable human age records

So I think for lack of birth certificates I can imagine the underlying process of unregistered people not being aware about their true age.

The claim that high poverty and crime rates produce such fraud feels prejudiced. also why would Sardinia be different in that regard compared to Sicily or poor regions on the Italian mainland?

Also I would be interested in how many hypothesis these researches tested on the data set and on whether they performed proper adjustments of thresholds (bonferroni correction)
I would have no trouble with hiding "https://" in the address bar, as long they show it for other protocols (including http). It might help move us to a world with https everywhere even faster.

I still prefer Firefox: protocol, subdomains and path are greyed out but still clearly legible. This way I can eyeball "on which site am I?" quickly (and read google-secure-payments.google.via.net as via.net for example) and still have access to the full URL in 0 clicks.
You can either contact them through the privatized email in their whois info, or use a domain name broker who will attempt to purchase it on your behalf. I have never used one myself, but have had them email me about buying my domains.
Chowhound basically got destroyed a few years ago when it got acquired and redesigned into an unusable mess, and now traffic has cratered. Some of the regulars split off into new sites - HungryOnion (mostly SF Bay) and FoodTalkCentral (mostly LA), but neither seems to have the critical mass that Chowhound used to have that made it a useful global resource.

Oh, crap. I can see the issue in FF68. Sorry about that!
GET requests and web scrapers. Many a DB has been corrupted due to incompetent web devs not understanding http verbs.

(In this specific case, it will most likely only ruin analytics. However, it's a good habit to use POST when you don't want automated access. E.g. if the social media also didn't implement their end properly and used GET requests for submission, the bot or crawler or whatever will fall through two layers of checks and your social media may be filled with gibberish, this scenario is however mostly theoretical. In general, you don't want a URL can modify state related to your core business logic. See HN's infamous "This Submission Upvotes Itself")
They're trying to upscale it even more [1], and when they first entered the China market, they were considered upscale relative to other options [2], and were far more sit-down oriented than their US branches during that long-ago time period. Since then, options have proliferated, and competition has heated up to the point that such low-level differentiation is no longer sufficient, hence their current even greater upscaling efforts.

I'd like to hear from Chinese HN readers who grew up remembering Pizza Hut arriving in their locale, and how it was viewed then versus now with the greater competition. With innovations like Haidilao's highly-automated (not fully-automated) robotic restaurant [3] for locals, and even Tier 2 cities with business class Western hotel chains like Sheraton boasting every day dinner buffets that put US Sunday brunch at Four Seasons to shame, I think Chinese citizens in most metro areas have an embarrassment of culinary riches in options now. The local hole in the wall restaurants in the more rural areas that I tried were also a delight. To stay at the top of the game, Western restaurant chains have a high bar to clear, especially as many home-grown Chinese restauranteurs have cottoned onto how dining out is not about food, it is about entertainment.

I dont want to cycle back to the content of the article (and parent comment), but is this not exactly the behaviour that these dark patterns are attempting to capture? They (both Grubhub in the past, and Yelp now) have been caught providing "alternative" restaurant phone numbers so that your order, despite being delivered over the phone to the restaurant "directly", is still attributed back to Grubhub. They claim their fee from the restaurant just as if you purchased through the app itself, even though they were not in the transaction process at all.
> Sure, it creates jobs but that’s not a for-profit company’s goal

Well, of course. Giving away unlimited supplies of money without earning it is a privilege only the federal government has. Non-profit companies also cannot create money out of thin air. While non-profits can endeavor to create jobs as their primary mission, I have yet to see a non-profit that can actually create a job without first earning the money itself, whether through actually doing something or working to fundraise.

> I guess it is difficult to compete given laws and/or regulations, so running a new such company for-profit would be too difficult?

It doesn't even need to be for-profit. I suppose I should have clarified. It could be non-profit too. It's the all-volunteerness that I object to. The sorts of things done by volunteers here are actually jobs, that should be compensated. The receivers of the internet ought to be okay paying for it to pay for these people's livelihoods.
The mobile operator provided unlock only works on devices of a certain age. You can't typically, for example, purchase a new flagship device and unlock it on day one. The illegitimate methods bypass this restriction.
Yeah.. Sudan, Syria.. a factor for Arab Spring was rising food prices because of Russian forest fires ruining the grain harvest. And then the residents of those areas dream of the land of gold and honey (or at least political stability and no bullets flying) and try to go to Europe, pissing off the people who don't want to share their "birthright" prosperity, leading to populist/Nazi parties...
Completely unfounded, ridiculous, and racist suggestion. Toni Morrison is one of the most revered writers in human history.

I often think “hand-pointing” interfaces have unexplored / unrealised potential... like, who would want a touch TV screen?! Sure, you could have the touch UX for the TV on your phone... but even better would be if you would be able to just point to the TV and MAGIC. The biggest problem I see is that humans aren’t that good at pointing - we can only “aim” with one eye, keeping both eyes open messes it up.
They're for old people apparently.
I guess you could consider all of the employees that got fired/will get fired/left before they got fired. Their lives got derailed but that's on them. No one held a gun to their head, this guy was on the other side of the world and convinced some AT&T techs to do this for money. If they were willing to install malware for money, AT&T is just lucky the guy was only after unlocked phones. I'm sure the employee handbook doesn't explicitly say "don't install malware for strange Pakistani men for money" but I'm sure they had enough training to put all of the pieces together...
Related from last year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17673922
Wait... what? The "malware" just unlocked the phones' carrier locks? Was it the phones' owners who were paying him to unlock them from AT&T? Why is an illegal scheme even necessary for doing that? I'm quite confused.

We could get into a long, drawn-out discussion about whether the evidence is flimsy or not, but the fact of the matter is that it is evidence. End of story. The title didn't say, "Flimsy evidence," it said "No evidence." It's grossly incompetent of the media to misrepresent story after biased story as "evidence" and then attach a "without evidence" to the president's words just because they don't like the narrative.

You're the one that made the claim that tech demographics represent the general population. You're the one who needs to prove the claim.

Lets agree to disagree
I got to experience some unexpected culture shock earlier this year taking a vacation to SF from a medium-sized city in the midwest (to probably no surprise to you reading this comment). Having forgot my clothes on the trip I got to tour all of SF for a week in cheap business casual clothing I kept on after work, which was an experience. Lovely city but damn, I had a target on my back looking like a basic tourist so I bought some more appropriate clothing and tried my best to fit in. Got home after the trip made me want to take an extra vacation day just to drink cheap beer, stare at the cows, and listen to sports on the radio.

Sorry for the mostly irrelevant story, but what I'm trying to say is I think this is probably a pretty common thing even outside of white collar big city folk culture.
Indeed. I theorize that the best approach is a hybrid: jump in, figure out, write something, but step back periodically and read what is out there. True understanding comes from the interplay of these two activities.
I was very close to finishing a 2 week project 6 weeks ago.
> it's only sensible to your satisfaction and to the satisfaction of those who share the same right-wing values, but without hearing the argument of why this is a sensible policy i can assure you that it carries not the slightest conviction to the people of the left.

And since we all live in open, participative democracies here in the EU, you are absolutely free to elect left wing parties that defend your views, while the other people are free to elect right wing parties thet defend theirs. In the end, the position assumed in the EU, will be determined by the outcome of that democratic process.

What you are not entitled to do of course, is to impose the views of the minority of the population uppon the majority with the argument that the minority holds the "morally correct view".

This is extremely common in middle America where I live. People using social services but opposing it for others. They believe they have earned and deserve it, and the others are abusers who haven't.
I have no stake in this conspiracy either way. Just responding to a couple of things:

> Besides I think the counter-argument that the people in Arles would've noticed if Fernand Calment suddenly started pretending that his daughter was his wife seems rather pertinent.

This seems to assume a lot about the nature of their personal and social life. According to the Wikipedia article they didn't even live in the same apartment while they were married, so perhaps they weren't seen together in public.

> Meanwhile Jeanne was apparently able to name old professors and maids of hers, things that her daughter would probably not have known or remembered.

Really? If you're going to go assume someone else's identity with their cooperation and you're not stupid you're going to find out every little detail about their past life and remember it.
Industrial farming is the reason why you’ve never gone hungry before. In the good old days there would be a bad harvest every so many years and a substantial fraction of the population would starve to death in the ensuing famine.

>Its value is not to reimburse you for routine visits or minor procedures, it's to prevent you from going bankrupt if you get cancer or any similarly expensive condition to treat.

Notice the parenthetical where I said it's not only insurance.

Clearly the value of most health insurance plans isn't only to cover catastrophic illnesses. Look at the difference in cost between catastrophic illness plans or a very high deductible plan and the cost of a more traditional plan.

A huge chunk of your premium and therefore a huge chunk of the value is to pay for routine and less than catastrophic medical costs.
We were taught this in grad school- often simply doing little toy problems on the back of an envelope can convince you that some approach is unlikely to be fruitful.

I thought this was a good idea, although after a while I noticed that a number of good ideas ended up getting rejected and decade+ later somebody else tried the same thing and managed to get a Science or Nature paper out of it.
Wow, that's a rude and (more importantly) factually incorrect remark. Is HN becoming Reddit?

Uh, your history classes have really failed you. These rights
weren't novel, they were explicitly enshrined in the English
Bill of Rights in 1689. Some of the other rights (particularly
debtors' rights) date back to the Magna Carta in 1215.

Sure. That's why I qualified my statement: "not entirely new" and "fairly novel" rather than "entirely novel" because I'm aware that the U.S. Constitution is not the first time these notions have appeared in law. It was specifically an attempt to head off a pedantic reply such as yours.

For the record, you're citing a 1919 US Supreme Court case
that has been overturned. The current standard for free speech
in the US is Brandenburg v Ohio [1], which holds that it is
constitutionally-protected free speech to advocate violent
overthrow of the government

You're simply incorrect. The justices' opinions in this case specifically agreed with this particular instance of prohibited speech, even referring to it directly.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandenburg_v._Ohio#Concurrenc...

Finally, Douglas dealt with the classic example of a man
"falsely shouting fire in a theater and causing a panic".
In order to explain why someone could be legitimately prosecuted
for this, Douglas called it an example in which "speech is
brigaded with action". In the view of Douglas and Black, this
was probably the only sort of case in which a person could be
prosecuted for speech.

More to the point, please understand: this ruling specifically addressed inflammatory (no pun presumably intended) speech.

This was not a comprehensive ruling on speech in general. It was an influential ruling on speech specifically meant to rouse others to action.

There are innumerable other types of speech this ruling did not address. Libel, threats, etc.

Forget about folks' educations failing them; your misconceptions could have been avoided with a simple Wikipedia visit. On the bright side, this experience reminded me to make my annual donation to Wikipedia. Obviously it's a sorely-needed resource.

Great point, we would like to add support for common gotchas. Right now we abstract all plural logic away from the user by automatically requesting all plural forms of a phrase for each language. We also have noticed that translations often break layouts so we are pushing a tool that notifies you when translations are x% longer or shorter than the original string.

We would love to explore more ways we could help pro-actively solve these problems. Ping me at abhi@langapi.co if you want to talk more!

Why should it be a choice between education and speech? Why don't we strive to educate everyone? You have a false dichotomy here.

You're also conflating education with indoctrination. The two definitely are not the same. If you're trying to make a point that too often schools do too much of the latter and too little of the former, please make that point before relying upon it to support further claims.
Plowing and the like is very out of fashion in big agriculture: the harm that hoeing is bad for the soil has been well known to farmers for a long time. (as long as I can remember which puts us in the 1970s) That isn't to say plowing isn't part of big ag, but they have found ways to plow that disturb less soil while still getting the benefits they want.

Glyphosate is a major part of big ag's anti-plowing system: by killing weeds they don't have to plow them up. Thus saving the soil. As a bonus, spraying uses much less fuel ($$$ for farmers, CO2 and global warming for the rest of us) than plowing.

Enable SYCL for all openCL devices so Intel, AMD, Nvidia, FPGAs, a lot of things and smartphones which is order of magnitude more devices than CUDA.Products targeting only nvidia devices are mostly niche markets which is pathetic.
As for debuggers codexl has been extended to support it.

Except SYCL there's Open{MP/ACC} gpu offloading which become viable and portable.
There's also HIP/rocm which transpile to openCL AND CUDA (best of both worlds?)
And can transpile CUDA to HIP almost totally automatically.
