They used to have some default keywords, "g", "w", etc. (you enter "g key words" to search Google for the keywords. If they're not default anymore they're very easy to do.

I like the way Chrome shows it has recognised the keyword after you press space though, neat feedback, good design IMO.
Boeing 737-800 crash landing in 2009 already highlighted the same general issues as with 737 MAX:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7909915/Design-shor...

>New York Times cites unpublished Dutch report on Turkish Airlines crash from 2009 in which nine people were killed near Amsterdam

>Dutch investigators determined that design flaws led to the Boeing 737-800 crashing into a field

>Investigators found that a sensor mistakenly triggered a command computer to idle the engine as the plane approached the runway for landing

>But American investigators with the US government and Boeing pressured the Dutch investigators to emphasize pilot error while downplaying Boeing's role

And that about simulator sounds very familiar too:

>Boeing has stopped production of the planes and agreed to allow pilots to undergo simulator training before the jets return to service.
So interesting how Google can tweak just a few lines of code/HTML on a template and generate so much more in revenue.
The calculator is included on any regular, unmodified install of Windows -- no registry hack required. There is still a photo viewing app available called Photos. Its different, but overall has a ton more features. Once again, no registry hack required.

Or are you arguing that default apps in Windows should just never change to newer, more featured versions?
More and more I'm bypassing Google and going to places like Reddit, Quora, News Hacker, Stack Overflow to search for what I need. I honestly think there has been a decline in value in the top search results. Hard to pinpoint but definitely an increasing gut feeling. On average, the top search results I receive are heavily advertised with lots of clickbait or content that is on multiple pages of a slideshow. Just overall poor quality.

As a full-time bioinformatician I'm totally excited about Julia for bioinformatics. Currently BioJulia needs some pretty serious work before it can be used for routine bioinformatics tasks, for instance there's no good support for the CRAM format. Nonetheless if some of this basic functionality were implemented I wouldn't be surprised to see much greater adoption
Perhaps it could, but how is that helping the conversation? I feel like all this statement does is dragging a preexisting (generally heated) topic into the conversation.

First of all, Greenwald did not steal anything, and he is being charged because he actively engaged in covering the hackers' tracks. That is criminal in Canada, Brazil or US... I am pretty sure that had Mr Greenwald been in Canada he'd be charged by now. It is precisely why he is in Brazil. Because Brazil is a Banana Republic where the powerful and well connected can get away with most of the things unless the evidence is very clear. Greenwald has a wide net of supporters in Brazil who are very powerful, starting with the Worker's Party, the Communist Party of Brazil and so one. Not to mention his husband who is a congressman himself.
The obvious question to me is "What are the units?"
Actually, that is not true.

I have written a tool (also a script) myself that allows you to write unit tests, manage your scripts in git, load scripts in other scripts, etc. Maybe I will post a Show HN in the coming weeks, but at the moment I would like to round up some edges before posting it.

In my experience, the biggest problem is that there are many different runtime environments out there that differ in detail and make it hard to write scripts that run everywhere. But programmers not applying all their skills (e.g. writing tests) to build scripts are also part of the problem.

I wrote this for parsing CSV in Awk: http://yumegakanau.org/code/awk-csv/
It maybe doesn't handle all the CSV out there, but the cases you mention (quoting and commas) it does handle.

I usually load CSV data into PostgreSQL to do anything with it; mostly wrote this Awk library for fun. So I'm not going to argue that Awk is the best language for doing this kind of thing, but it is possible.
If I care deeply about my site staying up, a solution that’s perfectly adequate for the vast majority of cases isn’t sufficient. I don’t want to end up in the mirror image of the original author’s situation, where my site randomly falls down and I have no way to figure out what’s wrong or fix it.

I think you're confusing what you wish was true with what is actually true. For instance, here was a post from a few weeks ago about how one annoyed user was able to take down a Mastodon instance until the admin gave up and put it behind CF: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21719793. Bear in mind, if you're running a Mastodon instance, you're probably well-aware of the downsides of centralization and would only give in as a last resort.

CF has problems, but pretending it isn't solving a real issue that is nearly impossible to fix otherwise, especially for individual admins running a side project, doesn't help anybody.

Funny because processed/frozen food in the US, even from a expensive store like WF look and taste so disgusting to a french person (ever been to a Picard ?) that I've stopped eating any of them (which is great for my health I guess)
To play devil's advocate, these kind of brand ads are usually very cheap and frequently generate some incrementality - you're basically paying to have your links take over a larger part of page 1. Even if competitors weren't going to advertise, it might be worth it.
I use DDG, but I have the same exasperation. Even appending 'Melbourne' to a search, I'm liable to get results from a tiny town in Florida rather a metropolis in Australia.

It's frustrating, because for geographical based results, I'm forced to drop back to Google consistently, and Google's getting worse and more user hostile/advertiser friendly.

Is this your gig, being all touchy and getting into arguments over small stuff?

You've already flagged one person for "abuse" because they said "Were you even born 10 years ago?" (such abuse!), and now you're complaining I'm "putting words in your mouth" because you "never claimed that Google "built the web".

You did write, and I quote literally: "They've [Google] contributed more to the web than probably any company outside of CERN" which is pretty much the same thing in my book.

> Memes don't really infringe on the original works. Seeing an image of Peter Parker with some text on it doesn't really compete with the Spiderman movie, does it?

That is faulty, incorrect logic, and the law (both US copyright and the Berne convention) does not agree with you. You don't have the right to decide what is in the interests of the Marvel franchise, Marvel does.

Images of Peter Parker are being actively used for ancillary marketing purposes, and they can easily show that infringing use of their copyrighted image is diluting their brand and/or causing some financial harm.

BTW I'm not worried about Marvel, I'm more worried about the many smaller independent businesses, and individual creators, that lose control of their work and have no practical legal recourse.
I found some research on fingerprints [1]. At 512 dpi fingerprint sensors have 0.01 bits per pixel of information mutual between samples but still individual, meaning that 160x160 sensors can give 256 bits of information usable for keys. And there are multiple fingers, so it seems enough to derive an encryption key from and even some room for redundancy.

Refreshing it every few years isn't a big deal (as obviously none of it will be used directly as an encryption key for all of your data, but only to encrypt an actual encryption key).

How is this not institutional racism? Or something that leads to inequality because of one’s ethnicity? Imagine if a person of African or Asian descent, who tries to rise up in German society, and get one of these jobs. Is the response: “Well, tough luck buddy, you shouldn’t have come to Germany to begin with.”

Doesn’t Germany pride themselves on being equal opportunity and democratically elected?

Or is that all a facade, and the Germans never really believed in that bullshit anyways. And it was all about putting the Germans first, before all others.

It’s the only story I’ve ever experienced first hand that seems to represent an actual instance of mass hysteria.

And do you believe that running Windows in a virtual machine prevents Microsoft from getting the telemetry data and who knows what else? While you're right that running Android does expose (some of) your data to advertisers, with Windows, we're not even sure what exactly is leaving your machine the last time I checked.

Or are you suggesting that an average Linux user who wants to back up their iPhone needs to buy and install Windows in a VM, and then is further expected to tinker with ingress/egress network rules to make sure no data is being sent over to Microsoft? I'd say that's a tall order.

In 2014, Michael Abrash gave a talk summarizing what's needed for a feeling of presence in VR. He said 20 ms motion-to-photon latency is required for the virtual world to feel like it's "nailed in place". So 5 ms is 25% of the latency budget.

I think this is certainly not a great thing but I urge people not to panic. Any time some sort of new disease starts to spread a portion of the population immediately overreacts and starts to get a little nutty "how do I protect myself? What should I buy? Will bleach kill it?! How about OmniCide, Madacide, Opticide?!?!".

Keep in mind that colds and regular flu are going around right now too, if you feel sick it's probably not this virus. Last week my office had a stomach bug, by Friday a few people had bad head/chest colds, this week the stomach bug is all gone and half the office has a head/chest cold and definitely not this virus yet someone on second shift has a hospital mask on (and as far as I know don't have a valid medical reason to remotely justify it).
I exaggerate slightly for [black] humor, but the point is hanging those huge engines so far forward puts its center of thrust uncomfortably ahead of its center of gravity, making it naturally want to pitch nose-up in flight.

All the rest—dodgy sensors, crappy software kludge, no pilot retraining—is hacks laid on top of that initial flaw just to pretend it isn’t there. A lot of us here build complex systems for a living; if that isn’t a “smell”, what is?

(Aerodynamically unstable design is a thing, btw, e.g. Typhoon. But that’s Military, which can afford fly-by-wire software that works.)

A stable design might’ve lifted the airframe further from the ground to give those huge engines the clearance they need under the wing, keeping them to the COG and thus ensuring the plane continues to fly naturally level as per its original design. (Any air geeks want to check me on that?)

But obviously that would’ve cost more, and now Boeing’s run by short-term profit chasers, not adult engineers, the attitude is “What can we get away with?”, not “What do we need to build?” That alone’s reason not to trust their bloody product any more. Not least cos what else might they be tempted to cut corners on?

I mean, a shitty iPhone will screw up your day; a shitty Boeing will screw up the rest of your life.

This is why Corporate Manslaughter laws should include hanging the Board by its heels.

Yes, I think Google reached "peak search" awhile back, and we're now on a downward trend. The search results are increasingly degraded by commercial intervention, by Google and its paying customers. There has always been a conflict of interest between Google and its public consumers, and Google is now leveraging its near-monopoly market position to shift the balance of that conflict to its financial advantage.

From my experience with adwords/fb ads, this is not normal. The reason the cost is so high is because they're targeting ads to things like "bass" instead of "learn bass from scratch" in Sacramento, CA. The more specific you are, the less competition and the easier to target and win on keywords. The tough part is that being a strong force in the Sacramento, CA Bass market for new players from scratch is not a billion dollar idea.

It's crazy how markets saturate quickly online. You really need a large marketing budget and/or network effect to triumph nowadays, product quality is not differentiating enough. I am scared for the future, this will inevitably lead in harder-to-break monopolies.

My issue isn't so much with the ads being prioritized; it's with when the ad link goes. For example, I often search for something vague because I can't remember the name or the site. When I use Google, the first or second ad is almost always relevant to what I wanted or exactly what I wanted. However, clicking the ad takes me to some sales-pitch link on the site that I don't care to go to. Instead, I'm trying to get to the log in page or front page, or whatever. This forces me to scroll down to the search result of the same name, or just go back up to the omnibox and type the domain in (now that I know what it was).
