Very unfortunate that the Chromium team decided to go this route. At least the Firefox approach leaves it in the hands of whoever is serving the content. Chromium now just makes an assumption, and completely changes existing behavior.

This was great! I love coming across great, short talks like this that elaborate on a very interesting problem that laypeople like myself would never otherwise have even known existed.

The equivalent in this case would be if you couldn't even know what their software DID without paying for it. Hacker news is a forum for discussing topics. How can you possible discuss an article you can't read? You can, however,

Can you offer any actual _evidence_ that makes this "disgusting", or even a bad thing? I have a hard time believing that making any sort of education free is bad -- let alone disgusting.

Ah got it -- I thought maybe I missed something in there! Was a great book, for sure.

I really loved this book -- it's definitely highly recommended by many folks (I think know Bill Gates was a big fan). But I don't recall it containing much -- if anything at all -- about CRISPR?

I think it's more than that -- it likely stems from how the IT department is run at a particular company, too. I've dealt with many sysadmins that offer absolutely no transparency into their processes, and in many cases actively o

This is awesome. I was looking for something like this not too long ago and surprised I wasn't able to find anything to do this easily. Thanks!

It's not immediately evident, but the numbers are actually inputs, so you enter values directly.

Wasn't this basically Google's model when the first started serving ads? 2 or 3 line text-ads only? I guess it's too bad that devolved into what we have today. Or maybe they still offer that? I have no idea.

These things drive me insane. It's ridiculous. Do these people only check their sites on huge monitors?

They typically try to re-review or amend their reivews when things get released/updated. The problem with waiting is: at what point do you stop waiting? Particularly when the vast majority of the time these release dates are pure specu

I was actually very surprised at the amount of folks that simply didn't respond _at all_ -- meaning not even an _acknowledgement_. The folks that I did hear back from were great, though. Nothing ever actually worked out in my case, tho

This is what I thought was the best detail of all this. I don't know the details so this may not be totally accurate, but it sounds like they didn't just shut down and let everyone fend for themselves. Looks like they helped make

I think the idea is that a warrant canary is regularly updated. And the fact that it is NOT updated would be an indicator that a warrant (or whatever) has been served. So it's the INACTION that triggers it, not an actual action (like t

It looks like you would still be able to read the remaining content if you click "continue" instead of "log in"? I'm not entirely sure why reddit would insist on users creating accounts, anyway, since (last I check

I think there's room for both. I'm not totally convinced one way or the other -- but why write it off as nonsense immediately? That hardly seems fair. Maybe it works. It's not like the folks pushing this stuff are uneducated

Hey Ben. It's because it was immediately apparent it would be a totally biased piece. When companies write about their own products, they usually do so from a completely biased perspective, in their favor, because they want whoever is

Just curious: why do you think Philadelphia is a lost cause?

I didn't even bother clicking through because I saw the domain name (ontolo.com) and assumed it was a PR piece. Also, Betteridge's law of headlines gave me my answer already (spoiler: it's "no").

Uncheck "requires harmony flag " and it falls to 92%. I'm guessing the extra percent is a rounding issue.

You're suggesting that because it's never happened before (that we know of), we can say with _certainty_ it won't happen in the future? Can we go back 100 years and say that about climate change please?

They very well could be. That's just it -- we don't know. And when we kill them all off, are we going to be able to reverse it when we find out that the result is causing two million deaths per year?

How is it not? The issue in the case of Google is the requirement for Chrome. So how is that any different here? (Other than the fact that you can actually install another browser on Android if you want, where you don't even have the o

According to this article Audi developed the software in 1999 and never used it. So it's incorrect to say this has been going on since 1999 (assuming this article is correct). I guess they could still claim that this mysterious small g

You almost confirm his point: > Well, I’ve got a pretty good setup for starters: Fibre, 16GB RAM. You're using a fairly decent desktop setup, and a top-of-the-line mobile setup, and there's no talk about server-side specs. So y

Do any modern CSS frameworks not rely on jQuery? I'm rather surprised that so many still do.

Ah, thanks for the clarification. Clicking through to web doesn't work for me anymore. Even if I open in an incognito window, it won't let me read the whole thing.

My sense has always been that it's a LOT of data to be moving around. I have Comcast, and they used to provide Usenet access with their internet access. But your average internet user doesn't really have an interest in Usenet. I t
