Using the Chrome UX Report API
Wow. And these are all on high value searches. Somebody is taking money here, no way this is an autocomplete error.
Yes, this is how I have a huge number of people blocked and muted for asking stupid questions by the thousands. They used to offer something to top writers, but no longer; the last one was a subscription to NY Times.

But not many really make a living by asking questions, I don't think the pay is good enough.
Policy.

Not sending my private browsing data/DNS history to a third party (Cloudflare, Google etc.)
I see this is a welcome change, particularly as (opt-in) kernel lockdown support starts to tighten down to the point where it is meaningful. MSR writes from userspace should definitely be disabled by default for locked down kernels.

For flexibility, users should be able to opt out of this (as with the rest of kernel lockdown). Sometimes I just want a holster full of foot-guns. Blanket R/W access to MSRs is that.

There are a lot of fairly powerful MSRs. Some of them might already be restricted for all I know. Here are some examples:

IA32_SYSENTER_EIP -> the instruction pointer after calling SYSENTER. Similar MSRs exist for the syscall instruction.
IA32_DS_AREA/PEBS MSRs -> DS_AREA is a pointer that points to a buffer of pointers that are written to by the perf subsystem. Manipulating DS_AREA to point to a user page should let you write ~arbitrary data to the kernel.
IA32_SPEC_CTRL -> disable some of the speculative execution mitigations.

There are less obviously powerful msrs as well, which probably let you get away with some sketchy-ness:

APIC_BASE -> you could try to get it mapped into userspace then control the APIC directly. Or you could hide particular kernel writes by moving the apic over another page (there was an attack against SMM based on this a while back).
X2APIC MSRs -> no need to move the apic base when you could just write to the apic through msrs more directly.
IA32_EFER -> Unexpected switch from long mode to protected. This can't do anything good.
MTRRs -> Changing memory types underneath the kernel (potentially restricting access to kernel memory) can't do anything good to the kernel. You could also change the caching behavior, which sounds messy.

Edit: Formatting. This is probably still unreadable on mobile.
Blacklist and whitelist are also not racial either but have been "cancelled" by some.

A counterpoint would be that other companies, including Stripe, have found ways to make this work with some deliberate effort: https://stripe.com/blog/remote-hub-one-year
But it is most definitely not the shareholders. Definitely just the users and employees. Yup. ;)
Well yeah - if you grant someone autonomy you do lose a fair bit of control. To some extent it's a case of can't have your cake and eat it too.

It's not exactly a coincidence that the City is in the center of London. Or rather the rest exists around it. London's prosperity is linked to it's existence to some extent. Services account for 77% of London exports & a big chunk of that is financial services.
> You seem to be confusing small businesses with corporations

No, not at all. The question was:

> Can you give me an example of something businesses do which isn’t political?

And thus I gave 2 examples. A small business can also incorporate if they wish. And yes, the bigger a business gets, the hairy things get politically if they want to stay neutral or simply true to their business model, but they are not mutually exclusive.
Is your phone in English? That seems more likely to be related.
I am very nervous that the main US political outcomes of 2020 will be a reduction in free speech and expansion of executive powers.
Justice is not served when a police officer takes the role of judge, jury and executioner. Summary execution is the worst of outcomes, and deprives victims of their most fundamental freedom. This guy doesn't think so. He wants cops to love exercising that extra-legal power. It's sick and an affront to the constitution.
FWIW, it's a trademark and very much protected in Canada too.
If it was an autocomplete thing all sorts of words entered would be generating false hits.

These are super specific high value search terms. Apple is most definitely being paid to do this.
TBH I quite like it, especially in chrome. I can type "GitHub [project name] pulls" and it will take me where I want to go, I can type "app.dev myfeature" and it will go suggest "app.dev.company.com/some/deep/path-abcd1234/myfeature"
It would be a poorly considered algorithm rather than some bidding situation. No sane person would build this intentionally. The big companies have too much to lose especially.
While the high price of an A7 probably slowed new customers rushing to Sony over Olympus I think the primary reason customers stuck with Olympus was "vendor lock-in" with lens mounts. People likely bought multiple m43 mount lenses to go with their Olympus or Panasonic. A customer would be more likely to buy another one of these brands if they had an existing lens collection over switching to the A7.

Note: I am reluctant to use the term vendor lock-in as the idea behind m43 was to have multiple camera manufacturers adopt a common lens mount. The fact that Sony and Canon have their own mounts is a net negative in my opinion.
The reason modals are so popular is because they work really well when trying to convert views to signups.
That's great but I wish the creator'd do something about death by FPS.
Which is arguably how I end up all the time.
I like to build big complex fortresses with a lot of industry and a lot of mining. And oftentimes I end up with a lot of animals to produce meat, leather and bones (had a very promising Draltha industry at one point). It's quite disheartening to put time in a fortress and "die" by FPS just because you are doing good.
Will still buy the Steam version (been supporting them for a while now).
Actually it is a miracle they still exist, their revenue is not so good.
My phone is in English, but I didn’t get the redirect. I’m in Canada.
What you're calling the democratic process is simply people willing to spend capital on a cause. It's just that their capital is time (and time is money). It doesn't make them any holier, and there's nothing morally or ethically superior about having to "organize people" without spending money. Put another way, I may be able to exert my political voice using money and I am not less deserving of having my opinion heard or any less deserving of influencing others than someone whose primary input is time (in lieu of other life pursuits).
Well, they do have a beta out: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=275370
Can you explain what you mean by fingerprint? I'm a bit alarmed.
That's right. I've seen purselane thriving along with other weeds away from any concrete, growing taller and with bigger leaves during the first month of rains. A week later someone comes with a machete, and that's the end of it. I do think however that most edible weeds require some sort of disturbance that human presence tends to bring.
I made my first ever computer program on an Archimedes.

It was a ‘compatibility calculator’ where you put in the names of two classmates and it gives them a percentage of love between them. We used to do it on paper, taking all the instances of l,o,v,e in each name then adding them to the number adjacent until you just have one number.

It went pretty viral within our class of 20.
Definitely an increase in percentage of remote positions in the June who’s hiring thread. Around 50% I think
> These companies are basically being gamed by sophisticated organization, campaigning, and manufactured outrage.

I'm sorry I lost the thread. Is "these companies" the boycotting companies or the boycotted?

> Stop caving into activist pressure and online outrage.

Is this post not "online outrage"?
You can see hundreds of ms of latency per request based purely on distance.

Tokyo - NYC is ~175 ms and that’s a good route. Compound that by all the requests you app does.
Wow, I never would have been able to google that. Thanks for confirming I'm not crazy.

>Sounds like Verizon’s Facebook advertising spend is losing value because if COVId-19

“We’re pausing our advertising until Facebook can create an acceptable solution that makes us comfortable,”

Doesn’t sound like it has anything to do with Covid-19 to me but rather advertisers don’t want to spend money advertising on a platform promoting hate speech.

But let’s say this was a conspiracy by all these companies to save their ad dollars because they are being wasted on FB, why would they be afraid of the “implications of their reduced ad spend”? Certainly there is nothing wrong with these companies coming out and saying we are not going to spend money advertising on FB because it’s a waste of money. What else is the implication?
The OS can stop an app from using certain APIs. This has nothing to do with the walled garden. ios tells you when an app is using your location in the background, it can do this for side loaded apps as well. It then allows you to disable it for that app, which it an also do for side loaded apps.
I am sorry, but FUCK NO!

We as developers are responsible. a developer did this [1]. I don't give a fuck. WE are responsible if we think this is OK because 'we need money'.

Developers created shadow profiles. Developers created proxies in their servers so user ad-blocks wouldn't block tracking shit. Developers created tracking pixels. Developers created TikTok that syphons pretty much all data they can. Developers uploaded entire contact lists to servers. Developers created login systems designed as 'find your connections in LinkedIn' to get email informations. Developers created just as much shit as possible, all while getting 200k salaries + fancy fucking sushi at lunch!

'They need money to eat' is no excuse. I think I once read in a comic (PvP maybe?) 'Character is what you do when no-one else is watching'. It is probably paraphrased from someone else, but it is true. We are compliant, we are accessories, we are guilty of this shitty behaviour.

Users have their responsibility, but we are the ones that built this and we should shamed to oblivion for supporting this, but just say 'oh but my moneys, I need my fucking shitty avocado toast that fucked the planet to be shipped by airplane from god knows where because... reasons!'.

(I am sorry about the extra profanity in this post, but this is something that really annoys me, that I changed my life to be true to what I believe, and it pisses me off)

Is that what some people call the 'mansplain' method?
Bitcoin is not uncensorable. Miners have the ability to censor transactions based on the sender/receiver/amount.
Some casual alternatives to Dwarf Fortress include Gnomoria or Rimworld. They do not have the same level of depth, but they're enjoyable.
Yep, it's pretty much how campaigns here in Germany work. There's about a few weeks of campaigning during which political posters and so on can be put up, but otherwise there's strict regulation on political ads.

Also the parties are significantly publicly financed and the amount of money is much lower, due to the much shorter campaign span, making the process much more egalitarian. For example the largest party in Germany, the CDU/CSU spent 30 million for the entire 2017 general election campaign (about 30-40% of the vote generally), and the smallest parties spend a few million with about 5% of the vote. So not much difference.

I'm completely shocked when I see US candidates in primaries spend tens of millions, or individual senators.
> Can’t teach this stuff

There is literally a field of science called Human-Computer Interaction that teaches this stuff.
I suspect you might not get an answer to this since it's not something anyone has actually said here.
There are permits required to run a lemonade stand and a bike shop. Who do you think sets the rules for those permits?
Sony also has new bodies being announced in a few weeks and Sony's lens lineup is already unmatched. Even Sigma ART glass beats out most Canon lenses in DXOMark's tests and cost much less.
Asian, two langs, bullets, etc. utf8 is the bare minimum for a product in the modern world.

For what it's worth, there are 64-bit distros available for the Pi4. IIRC Raspberry Pi OS (formerly known as Raspbian) has been fully 64-bit since the release of the 8GB model, and I know Ubuntu Server offered a 64-bit image for some time before that.
We want Facebook to censor speech on Facebook!

But oh not all speech just some speech that we don’t like. Only we are allowed to define the type of speech we don’t like. And we reserve the right to change at any time.

So, please just censor speech that we don’t like. On this day. At this hour. At this minute. And next minute we’ll tell you what to censor next.
I'd like to hear the arguments behind the downvotes you're getting. To me, it seems that there are some things that, for the sake of the continued existence of our species (and countless others) on this planet, must simply be seen with clarity.

I'm not a big fan of Gantt charts because they force things into a timeline, and tend to imply an order that things should be done (even when two tasks are unrelated). I've found Gantt charts also to be a lot more rigid and less flexible as you inevitably discover new requirements throughout the project.

TwigTask is more about capturing tasks that _can't_ be done until something else is done. For example, you can't build the authentication flow until you've created a table for user accounts. And, you can't release the project until the authentication flow is done.

This is the first time I've seen Scapple, it's very interesting and a really similar concept. The main difference seems that TwigTask is designed specifically for task dependencies, rather than general mindmapping and note linking.
Sure that's great, but that should either be separate from the address bar or at the very least shouldn't be so 'default' for lack of a better term, that just clicking without thinking activates that behaviour. For people like yourself that use it to its full advantage I won't argue that is a good feature. For the majority of people trying to make a simple search, it doesn't seem so helpful.

I feel like default behaviour should be broadly helpful, while specifically helpful behaviour should be easily accessible but not so easily accessible that a mindless click triggers it.
They are not unstructured and have checksum digits in proper implementations.
Hot take:

1. Don't trust random docker images
2. Criminals love Monero. Wonder if it's because they care about privacy?
So long as you're ok with your coins getting mixed with (and thus providing cover for) the more criminal stuff, I guess.
Imagine taking a repetitive voltage measurement at a predetermined time interval and then graphing the results on a piece of paper.

Such devices actually existed and were common in the late 19th century --- they were called oscillographs. The first few pages of this 1915 book have some details on these devices, including the one in the article:

The point is that the results of using it would be:

- would the weapons be neutralized in most or all cases by Russia before it reaches the targets? Perhaps yes? I don't know much about that sort of thing.

- it would give a carte blanche to Russia to wipe out Ukraine, which it has the means to do if it comes to total war.

That's why I'm skeptical that nuclear weapons bring more benefits than trouble for smaller players.
Might as well just stay in Monero. If you have to pay someplace that doesn't use Monero, just use XMR.to to pay (converts Monero to Bitcoin).
Tin foil hat time but I can't help feeling a lot of things promoted as privacy solutions like VPNs and DoH are just aggregating data in a handful of locations so it is easier to intercept. Sure they have privacy policies but are they worth the paper they are written on when state actors are bound by a totally different set of rules?

I recently changed my local dnssec resolver to forward to quad9 and cloudflare using DoT because I was sick of the high latency with DNS resolving on boot. I would forward to my own DoT server if there was some authentication built into it and I could deny other traffic. But I have gone from dns requests being aggregated at my ISP for easy inspection my the democratically elected government of my own country, to a my own dns resolver which while it isn't aggregated is still easy enough to intercept under warrant for local law enforcement (which I generally support) to aggregating my queries in a few logs which are likely in foreign countries where I have no say in how they are used or abused. I am not sure what problem we are trying to solve with this technology.
Isn't that because QUIC doesn't overload 443/tcp, and sending a UDP packet is extremely cheap? It's not the packets that kill you, it's the round trip latency.
How does that work with FB? Let’s say you have a German politician with a subreddit about him. Does that not count as advertising? I’m genuinely curious because I’m certain your country has at least considered this scenario.

This is another reason people should not buy Apple.
Absolutely! I did the exact same - got myself an MD 50 1.4, Vibitar Series 1 70-210, and a Tokina 35-70 2.8, all for under a hundred dollars (!)

To note, you don't have to isolate yourself to manual focus - there are to manual to autofocus adapter for the Sony E mount. Indeed, there's the original Techart LM-EA7, as well the much cheaper knockoff that is the Fotodiox Pronto. As far as I know, this is one of the few instances of an American knockoff of an innovative, expensive Chinese product :). The knockoff is so egregious that it actually can use firmware updates from the original.

If you do decide to go with the knockoff, it's only about 170$ to make your manual lenses autofocus, though it's slightly slower than native and doesn't work in video. It can't completely autofocus lenses longer than 135mm, so if you're shooting telephoto you will need to focus very roughly and then it will correct it.
You have the ability to have a dedicated search box, but your URL bar is also a search box, and you can't turn it off. I want to enter URLs in a box which doesn't try to autocomplete as a search, doesn't search my search engine, doesn't try to fill in missing TLDs, etc. I had something close before 75.0, which introduced the "revamped" address bar that is also swollen.

I separated the search box not because I want a search box (I really don't want a browser with a "search box" at all) but because I want un-interpreted, un-looked-up URLs. Though the current URL box doesn't seem to actually search implicitly, it's really hard to tell if its suggestions are coming from the search engine or not and it's at least a step back in the wrong direction).

I'd love any suggestions for making the URL box dumber.
Personally, prefer it over Gitlab much easier to use. Find the documentation much clearer compared to Gitlab. Do like the pipeline yaml but something similar is possible with Teamciy but then its Kotlin I think.

I think an important part of the Hackintosh ethos is running on commodity hardware. Even though I'm sure Hackintosh will be ported to Arm I'm not sure it will be very popular because of a lack of commodity hardware. This of course may change in the coming years as ARM moves more into servers and desktops. Apple's move will surely accelerate this.

In the meantime, Intel Macs will be alive and well. There is a 100 million Intel installed base. I doubt that Apple will be treating those customers badly in terms of support and 3rd party software vendors certainly won't. At current sale rates it will take Apple 5 years to draw even with an ARM installed base. Also the question of how popular the move to ARM will be is still open, given the severe backwards step in terms of compatibility. Apple may continue to offer some Intel hardware a bit longer than they intend.

Finally, for me at least, the thought of being stuck at some final version of macOS that supports my Intel Hackintosh is kind of appealing. Each major update seems like a step backward. Hopefully developers will appreciate these Intel diehards and support them longer than Apple does.
Perhaps you should do a little research and find that the rest of the world has been doing that between all banks for a decade or two.

Not mention its ubiquity that allows everyone from teens to grandparents to pay .25 for a cookie, to dropping a down payment, to paying bills, to filing taxes, to automating a weekly rent check. Basically an elegant single system required for modern life.

The fact zelle, launched in 2017, has a brand name, and competes for mindshare illustrates how they missed the target. In other countries it’s called banking.
Didn't happen for me either in Germany (despite English iOS). May be US-specific?
Instead of drive by negging, happy to chat about why.

I've probably had a smartphone as long as anyone. And I hope it's not just because some people work at Google. :)
I've just tried this on both macOS and iOS.

macOS 10.15.5
Safari 13.1.1
Tested 4 configurations:
Search engine: DDG vs Google
Wipr adblock extension on/off.

In all four cases:
Typed in realty.com and hit enter - got realty.com.
Typed in sketch and hit enter - got search results for the word sketch.

Tested exact same configurations (DDG/Google, Wipr on/off) on my phone.
iOS 13.5.1 on iPhone XR
Same results as above.

I'm just not seeing the behaviour that's being described here. Perhaps its a geo thing? I'm in Australia. I assume most people here are in the US?
Disregarding all the parts of your story that don't make sense, or are downright very uncommon with home invasion defensive shootings (ya, I doubt any of this happened from how you wrote this story) - your point about self defense not being the same power as the police is a little precarious.

Police shootings are almost always defensive shootings. Maybe you might disagree with the rationale behind the need to apply deadly force in some specific situation - fine - but that doesn't suddenly mean police have some 007 "License to Kill" or anything.

The police are flatly not allowed to indiscriminately shoot people - just like a citizen isn't allowed either. There's very few police shootings when compared to the volume of interactions they have nation-wide every year. When there are shootings, they are reviewed to determine if there was a crime committed - and punished if there was.

Perhaps criminal review and punishment need to be stepped up? But just because there's some agencies that don't hold some officers to the same standards as everyone else doesn't mean it's like that everywhere.
