Looks like it went further than just a brainstorming session, because a list of words and phrases to be blocked was assembled and this is what leaked. It isn't clear whether or not they would have proceeded if there hadn't been a

Apparently meaning: they were caught, so now they have to rethink it.

ed is the way that it is in part because many users in the late 70s had a really slow modem and a printing terminal, and memory was minimal, so just ? was seen as a good error message.

Bad analogy. Flash was never the core technology of the web, and it was proprietary to one company, which made it much easier to kill when that one company lost interest. It will take a long time for C++ to fade away, because of all of the

The article's argument is that because RSA is easy to explain, developers are more likely to roll their own and do it wrong. But that's mainly an argument against "roll your own", for those who aren't expert or aren

It isn't treated as a race in the US either, it's a separate question (so people can identify as white and Hispanic, or black and Hispanic, or other combinations).

Assuming that this is a real effect, it seems that the causality could be in either direction: perhaps atrophy in the brain contributes to pain, or perhaps constant pain causes the pain-related regions of the brain to atrophy.

The halting problem doesn't prevent correctness proofs, it only means that you get a three-valued answer: proof, counterexample, or too complex to determine. "Too complex to determine" usually means that the code needs to be

Sorry to be blunt, advertisers on Facebook have been a major contributor to its decline, driving out content that people wanted to see, masquerading as real people, etc.

It's in decline, but there are a couple of local groups on it that I find useful, and it's convenient for sharing pictures with extended family. Some of our younger extended family members only have an FB account to occasionally s

It didn't all work out for many: when real estate crashed in 2008 a lot of people lost everything: they had huge negative equity in a house that was suddenly worth 20% or more less than what they paid with 5% or less down payment, lost

That worked when interest rates were declining; now they are going up, so refi'ing at a better rate might not be an option.

I've often seen this take, but what it misses is that at the height of the liar loan boom, those loan applications with the lies were often filled in by the loan originator, knowing it was a lie, and they would then sell that loan off

As the article points out, at least on the inventor's farm 70% of carrots come out too deformed or misshapen to sell that way, so before this guy came along they were tossed. So these days the "abnormal" (but perfectly fine)

I often come up with solutions to technical problems I've been struggling with at work, in my sleep, and when I wake up I think I have something new to try. In practice it seems like the idea my unconscious came up with is only any goo

Cache coherency for SoCs is usually proven with formal verification. It's a very good target for such techniques because the needed properties are straightforward to write down. I'd be very surprised to see any respectable firm sh

What was was the criterion that you were optimizing? Currently hospitals try to assign codes in a way that maximizes payouts from insurance companies while avoiding straight up lying in a way that could cause them problems. So they'll

"This title is somewhat click bait though, because the fault is really with EMR systems". The title is entirely accurate: it specifies "on electronic medical records" and effectively demonstrates the thesis in the title.

Depends on the business. In electronic design automation it's common, because it's a small world, only three major companies, sometimes people go off and do a startup and it's bought up by one of the big three.

Rather than a direct no, some version of "Yes, if" usually works better. Yes, I can do that for you, if. If I'm given the resources to do that job, and I'm relieved of some existing work. Yes, if some prerequisite can be

They have competition: if we get to the point where Bing/DuckDuckGo results are clearly better, people will start moving, and that will hurt their revenue badly.

The author missed the most important reason that Google search results often suck: tens of thousands of people are working very hard to make it suck. They call themselves "SEO specialists", and their job is to get their shitty sit

Evidently someone disagrees, but no ads or trackers except on the home page and its pages rank highly on current search engines, so if you exclude trackers and ads that's what you're going to get.

Yes, that's exactly it. The "Zestimate" is often way off, and the owner knows a lot more about it than Zillow does. If the Zestimate price is lower than the buyer thinks they can get, they won't take the offer. If the Ze

Yes, but that isn't insider trading. Maybe it violates some other rule; IANAL.
