Are you implying that more active screening would cause more good than harm, and that the scientific evidence that shows otherwise is mistaken? What makes you think the evidence is wrong? Screening is a very complicated topic and being over

There's some rich irony in trying to deny the existence of pejoration and semantic drift, while claiming your political enemies are out of touch with reality. Words starting out as factual and neutral, then acquiring a negative connota

Great game! I think the powerups seem to be bait here. I've won all but one of the last 12ish games by never taking any powerups and simply waiting for the opponent to reveal themselves by taking them. The only time I used a powerup wa

A generation of bees is defined by the procreation of colonies / queens, not the life of individual worker bees, since they are eusocial. The queen bee lives for 3-4 years, and establishment of new colonies (swarming) can happen around

According to [1] the G6 at least measures skin temperature, but it is unclear if it measures air temperature as well (which the Libre does). I also found a reddit thread [2] that indicates it's quite common to get drastic changes in re

Well, if you wanted to match the glycemic load of a diet soda you would have to drink 100% less, i.e. not at all, not 'slightly less'. Drinking less sugary soda is not a comparable alternative to drinking diet soda, even if you pr

Utilitarianism will not lead to counterintuitive answers if the broader consequences of each action is taken into account. For me, this is the true defence of utilitarianism. Each of the examples are completely stripped of societal conseque

Your last example is not applicable. The question is comparable to a gun with infinitely many chambers, each with a 1/80 chance of containing a bullet: How many times on average can you point it at your head and pull the trigger? The

You are more often than not reduced to iterative numerical approximations for very simple linear PDEs as well. Consider a simple linear PDE such as the heat equation du/dt = Δu + f(t). On a square or a circle you can solve this analyti

I'm not sure I follow you. When you discretize a continuous equation for numerical analysis, you always make sure to use a consistent discretization. The point of a consistent discretization is that it can be proven its solution will c

I think this article was rather weak. The double pendulum is not "unexplainable" or "inexplicable behavior", in fact is is explained very well in this very article. It just requires an infinite degree of precision if you

I don't expect Chrome to solve my issue with the broken url. I do, however, expect them to not make it worse by falsely presenting the broken url as a working url to the user (while hiding the one that actually works).

Chrome happily displays the subdomain for secure.bank.chase.com-url.io, it would only hide it for www.com-url.io. No phishing prevented. I'm curious, can you think of a good reason to hide only www?

by i_cannot_hack 5y ago
I agree it's not ideal. But Chrome is making it even worse for absolutely no reason, which really grinds my gears.

This is not correct. If you visit "news.ycombinator.com", Safari will correctly show "news.ycombinator.com", not the (different) website "ycombinator.com". Unless the subdomain is www, of course, which is hidde

Great service, thanks! I'll implement it immediately. But the fact that someone has implemented a solution doesn't make it okay for Chrome to lie to the user, in my opinion.

That's an idea, I'll think about it. But I don't think it's reasonable we should have to play these mind games with the browser because they have arbitrarily decided "www" is always equivalent to the root domai

I agree. But I think it's equally important that the user can trust their browser to show them the correct URL for the website they are visiting, not a "best guess".
