nature can have telos without a supernatural explanation. I would argue that evolution is itself a teleological process: it optimises organisms to a fitness function over time. It's purpose-driven without an entity in control.

Reality is full of teleological processes.
Professors cheat also. I've seen several of them invite someone with a reputation to a meeting or just talk with them, then offer to add that person to a paper they are working on "because they contributed to the meeting or conversation". It's a way of buying influence for their paper and getting in good with the person with the reputation. It's very similar to ghost-writing or freeloading, the distinguished person usually does no actual work on the paper (they are asked if they want to add their name when the paper is finished and ready to be submitted) yet everybody involved benefits from reputation enhancement for no effort. Students see this happening and learn from it.
F&P were unable to replicate their results. People have been trying for decades, with their help and the best they get is some occasional anomalies. The contention that the experiment has never been ‘properly’ replicated comes from the fact that they made some errors in their experimental design and description. How can you ‘properly’ recreate an experiment if the given design is known to be inaccurate?

If you follow the known to be inaccurate description people will complain you’re not doing what the actually did. If you do what they actually did (or seem to have done as best we can tell), people will complain you didn’t follow their published description. Meanwhile F&P still couldn’t get reliable results themselves.
I feel like there is something missing from this piece.

Not exactly, in the sense that I don't think it will be the site of a large, violent eruption: the pressure has too many less-violent ways to escape. However, it (probably) does have a mantle plume under it, which is the main ingredient in other supervolcanoes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceland_hotspot

Also, fun fact from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supervolcano: "Many volcanologists consider Iceland to be a large igneous province that is currently being formed."
The problem is that all of these autofillers are already way too complex, because almost no one uses the optimal markup (adding the attribute autocomplete="cc-exp-year", in this case)—almost no one has even heard of the proper autocomplete markup here (I remember being in a conference room with two or three hundred other web developers a couple of years back, and the speaker asked who knew about autocomplete="new-password" and the likes; only three of us raised our hands: I and my coworker, and one other).

They’re already complex enough that it’s a disaster trying to figure anything out. You say it wouldn’t be difficult to catch this, but either it’ll be a special case finely tuned for this particular site, or it’ll break another site, causing expiry year to no longer be filled out where previously it was and should be.
The other answers are probably the actual reason, but it's amusing to me to think that it's because giving you incorrect results drives up engagement on the search because you keep going back… it's also obviously the wedding metric to use in this case, but that has never stopped people before.

Why Kotlin when you got Swift is an equally valid point. People like choice and for a lot of us, running on the JVM is a non starter.

Try creating a small command line tool for a JVM language. You need to distribute a virtual machine with it. You got the overhead of firing up a VM or JIT just for a short lived session.

Also JVM gobbles memory. You would not want a system made up of lots of tiny command line tools all running on a JVM. That would be a lot of overhead.

I've been looking for a video/presentation from one of the main Scala contributors before he left the team. I think I saw it about 8 years ago. It was highly critical.

One of the main slides the stood out was discussing something like 20 or 30 different kinds of "types" in Scala. I cannot find it anymore, it may have disappeared with the political "drama" I've heard happened within Scala that included attempts to blackball people.

I've never personally coded in it, I use groovy on the JVM and it satisfies my needs but it has nothing to brag about in terms of avoiding spaghetti code.

It has all the same problems of bootstrapping any language that isn't a "X but distinctly better/easier/more features/fixes major problems in X". A big big lift.

I think only Rust is a language that is sufficiently different that has any real long term chance.

Interesting. The weirdest site I use on a regular basis is Mailgun and it has this scrolling form which isolates entry for email/password/2fa (which, as an aside, I hate) and it gets it right every time. I can't remember any instances of it going wrong, actually.

"... and I have no way to avoid it."

There are of course ways to avoid sending a HTTP requests to Facebook, but not within the confines of the expectations of web developers where the user is expected and even prodded to use a browser deployed by an advertising company or one that tries to match it feature for feature. These browsers are ideal for serving ads.

You could check for the "Like" button by first retrieving the page from an alternate source, with Javascript disabled, e.g., the Internet Archive.

Even if you retrieve the page from Company A's site, unless you have Javascript enabled and use a browser that automatically loads resources, you can check for the "Like" button poiting to Facebook's servers by inspecting the contents of the page. (Note I have seen some websites host a Facebook "Like" button image on their own servers.) Checking for things in the contents of a page can of course be automated.

But putting technical solutions aside, it is worth reading the 5th Circuit case that suggested Google was a "party" under the Wiretap Act.^1 In that case Google tricked iPhone Safari users into believing third party cookies were being blocked. Meanwhile they disabled third party cookie blocking in Safari by sending a cookie from a hidden form in an iframe.^2 The 5th Cir Court of Appeals noted that using fraud to become a "party" to the communication has no effect on the Wiretap Act exemption. If law enforcement can use deception to become a "party", Google can too.

This is not to suggest Google was innocent of malfeasance. When Google's behaviour was first disclosed by a Stanford grad student in 2012,^2 the WSJ picked up the story.^3 This attracted the attention of the DOJ who filed a complaint. Google ended up paying a $22.5M civil penalty. State AGs also filed a complaint against Google. Google settled for $17M with 38 states. It was only when private lawyers in multiple states attempted to bring a class action suit on behalf of users that the Wiretap Act claims failed.

I really don't think that's correct. Rather it's the eternal problem that randomness contains sequences that look and feel non-random—these are more likely to get noticed, and then get (over)interpreted to fit a pre-existing narrative.

It seems like the only thing that separates what Facebook is doing from most other ad and tracker networks is just sheer volume.

It’s insane how many trackers ‘modern’ websites embed that exist to track you around the web. A typical site may have several trackers doing the same thing depending on advertiser agreements and sanity checks if there’s discrepancies in volume.

As someone whose transitioned to working more in media now, I still struggle to see the benefits many of these trackers promise.

I’m at the point now where I only allow a few sites to set and store cookies, while I run a Pihole, Noscript and Ublock. Even then, stuff manages to leak through.
That is like a hack. You are basically dumping a JIT image to file. That means all sorts of caveats apply such as be real careful about how you use reflection.

Also there is no ABI so you cannot use anything like a native DLL.

Native compilation while possible is clearly second class on the JVM platform. For Crystal it is first class.
It's nothing like what Google implements.

All of that clearly raises red flags, which are perhaps overwhelming, but it doesn't necessarily mean they were entirely wrong. Case in point, a certain pharma company with no track record whatsoever was recently working on mRNA vaccines: they did science by press release, didn't release details of their experiments purportedly for commercial reasons, had sketchy executives saying sketchy things, and it all turned out to be 100% right. It's hard to take the red flags and draw a conclusion based on that alone. The failure to replicate is far more important than the behavior of the actors involved.

Clicked into the comments to say the same thing. I was just using Z3 today, actually–so that's what I thought this article would be about.
I've never encountered any autofill instance where the effects of autofill wasn't immediately apparent (usually it's just the username and password). Having a special hidden fields in your form seems like a Bad Idea, but what is worrying is that there is nothing stopping more devs from implementing something like this. The only reason why we don't see it more often is probably because it takes more effort to make a "smart" form like this.

When the double letters started happening for me, I became legitimately concerned about my own sanity. It didn't occur to me that the keyboard may be faulty since I type quite fast, couldn't reproduce the problem in slow motion, and didn't think Apple products were capable of such fundamental flaws.

I ended up paying Apple more money for an external keyboard and trackpad when the Apple store employee told me that it would take me weeks to get my keyboard fixed. I used to love Apple products, but after my struggle with this issue I absolutely despise them.

This could be considered as a point for greater autonomy, thus favoring brexit. The EU is a much larger government, hence much more inefficient and with much more capacity for incompetence and corruption. In times of crisis, EU nations are dependant on this large bureaucracy, whereas UK can forge ahead and quickly get the people what they need. In this case that's the vaccine.
That’s smart policy.

In the US (or at least the majority of jurisdictions who have adopted it), NEC Section 240.24(B) requires "each occupant shall have ready access to all overcurrent devices protecting the conductors supplying that occupancy unless otherwise permitted in 240.24(B)(1)" (where that is roughly buildings with continuous on-site maintenance supervision can avoid this requirement).

All the new TLDs have what's called "premium" domains. These encompass the one word and short domain names, which they will sell for MUCH higher. When they are flagged as premium on the back end, most registrars do a piss poor job of advertising it as such to the customer and will even allow you to go as far as ordering it if it's available, just to refund it after because it's actually a premium domain and they don't properly support the registration of them directly.

I feel like it would be easier and cheaper to negotiate a support contract with Manas (Crystal) than with Google (Go, Dart) if your company wants paid support.
The use of the word "hidden" in the article is misleading. The field is visible and editable by the user -- it is just styled in a way that does not make it clear it is an editable field. There is a GIF in the article showing the author changing this field value manually.

Recently discussed, a browser extension filling the credit card expiry year in an unrelated field: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26549307

This autocomplete attribute is a way of specifying what should be filled where. Because almost no one has used these things, it’s distressingly difficult to get the extensions to not autofill things in particular fields, but it is useful for instructing what should go where, e.g. autocomplete="cc-exp-year" for credit card expiry year.

Other particularly useful values that I like: current-password, new-password, one-time-code.

Does languages don’t belong together. Java and C# sure. They use sophisticated garbage collectors and target intermediate code.

Nim, Crystal and Swift all compile to native code and is designed for that.

Swift is not a GC language in the normal sense since it uses automatic reference counting. That is fully deterministic and with low latency. There is no stop the world to collect garbage like with Java and C#.

Swift is akin to C++ code with smart pointers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamport_timestamp :

> The Lamport timestamp algorithm is a simple logical clock algorithm used to determine the order of events in a distributed computer system.

I tend to do that too. But for product reviews, I am certain that the fake review problem will hit Reddit soon, if it hasn't already. This technique is way too common, and manufacturers are going to start including Reddit in their fake-review spam just like they do with Amazon reviews.
