I actually like a lot of them, and they've improved a ton since the start in general.

I'm fine with measuring performance, and sometimes tailoring content, but prefer to opt-out of ad targeting and offline matching.

Most all of them are missing proper opt-outs that really should be there, however it's a good start.

Thinking about it, the one I have the most disdain for is The Guardian's; it has a quick UI but the accept-all button is labelled "Yes I'm Happy".

This kind of (mis)feature should only be available in the format string, which shouldn't have untrusted user input.

It's absurd but they are parsed from parameters as well.

Both Minecraft servers and clients are vulnerable to chat messages with them.

Rapid chess is almost a different game, shown by how handily Carlsen beat Caruana in the tie breakers.

I can't even imagine the Imagination Quotient required for some social scores.

This probably would have been more appropriate as an Ask HN.

Editorializing the headline like that is a no-go.

Lots of people are getting hung up on the measurement.

The key word is "imagine" y'know.

Yeah I had to reread it a few times, it's just a mistake.

Of course maybe the kid being more accessible to doctors might increase the doctors' utility, but that's not what he meant.

Read the username.

We can't be certain, as with most conspiracy theories, but there are regulations against it so there would be ramifications if/when it came to light.

Inter-seasonal heat storage is a thing, albeit rare.

Can you back this up?

Seems like a pretty clear case of being two-faced, and a small page laying out the details would be super helpful.

The 5s has been given security patches for iOS 12, the last being September 23rd.

That's 8 years of support if it's the last. It was the first 64-bit ARM phone, and the first to have a Secure Enclave, so it might be a bit of a favourite child.

It's 0.001; the first 2 9's count.

  5N  = 99.999%
  3N  = 99.9%
  1N5 = 95%

5N is <43m12s downtime per month.

Literally just a bin in a fulfillment warehouse.

An amazon listing doesn't guarantee a particular SKU.
