I like your optimism. But I see most people just shrugging their shoulders if they don't see how it could affect them. Long term risk often hard for humans to comprehend.


Right? This is the best way to make the story a non-issue.


You can disable a single input field from autocomplete

`autocomplete="off"`


'Autocomplete' doesn't work for Firefox (since version 38), Google Chrome (since 34), and Internet Explorer (since version 11

Huge pain


This totally works in latest Chrome/FF/Safari

The other trick is to add a random string/number in from of the name attribute e.g. name="348349_name". This prevents autofill. Interestingly 1Password and LastPass are smart enough to infer that it's a name or email field.

For the honeypot, random number + word makes it ignored by autofill/1password


My mistake,

looked into it again and it seems Chrome enabled it again in Chrome 68: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25823448/ng-form-and-aut...

Firefox had it disabled too but enabled it back again: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Securi...

And IE is just a cluster f.

My point being, Autocomplete off is not a valid solution as it can break at an updates notice, and the code hacks, while may work, are a pain to deal with


Daily Mail is the sort of “paper” you use to line a bird cage with


oh sure, I know cause I used to deliver it as a paper boy, got a good grounding but that doesn't explain why it dropped in Google rank.


It got dropped in rank because Google decided something else should be higher ranked. How do you propose google rank things? Don't forget people will always game whatever your ranking algorithm, so please elaborate how you'll deal with that too.


I mean they were pretty clear they didn't care about the money. Emailing daily to check in on progress is good enough. I've been in a similar situation. The manager isn't really concerned about the money. They just need someone to justify their expenses.

> We need your full undivided attention to complete this project. For the duration of the contract, you will work exclusively with us to deliver result in a timely manner. We plan to compensate you for the trouble.


In my experience as a contractor, the client doesn't care about the money until they do. The contractors that I have seen thrive and the times that I have thrived as a contractor is when I showed that I was there to provide value and not just "coast". Most businesses don't have time to deal with coasters until they need to cut their burn rate. If you are providing more than what you're asked you can usually stay or be first in line to return when help is required.


If I'm feeling snarky, I'll say

  "Looks like you've already asked a question there ;)"
A nice way to help folks is to say to them after the exchange,

  "Feel free to ask your question when you ping me so we don't have to do the hello/hi exchange"


It might work, but I'm not sure the typical person would interpret that as "nice" or "help[ful]"...


I've switched over to Notion. They even have a tool now to transfer all your notes from Evernote. Feels simple to use but has some really powerful features.

Agreed on the kitchen part. Once I moved my google home (mini) into the kitchen it got more useful.

* Setting multiple alarms (why can't apple do this??)

* Conversions

* Food questions

I think it would be rad if I could feed it a recipe and then have it read me the ingredients and instructions for each step. Maybe that exists?


> * Setting multiple alarms (why can't apple do this??)

It launched without that ability but an update sometime last year lets you set multiple alarms.


Sorry that should have been timers. If I tell Siri to set a timer (while a timer is running) it still asks if I want to change the timer or leave it alone.


You can set multiple timers in Siri. At least on a Homepod.


It can definitely read recipes, although I've only ever had it read me recipes I've found by voice. I don't know how to explicitly tell it the recipe I want. It's still kind of cool as it goes step by step, although that can be a bit buggy, especially if you're also listening to music, but i still use it from time to time


If I google "burger recipe" on my phone (Pixel), I get some cards of recipes for burgers. Each of the cards has a "send to google home" button.


Works on my galaxy s8 as well, in Chrome at least. Great tip, thanks!


That reminds me of my idea to create "tech" stock imagery that isn't a joke


So the opposite of what the Hacker Dojo did around 2012/2013: https://slate.com/technology/2013/02/hacker-photos-how-hacke...


Somehow, I think most stock images are crafted from a position or vantage point of objectively stupid cluelessness. No matter the discipline depicted in stock photos and clip art, it always conveys a total detachment of context, campy corny sentiment and general lack of expertise.

Not so much by accident, but by virtue of catering to clientelle disinterested in accuracy, and with the awareness that all participants (both buyers and sellers) are motivated to reduce costs at all levels of the creative process.


If you'd like I can whip up a GUI interface in Visual Basic. You can use that to track an IP address.


From personal conversations with tech folk who don’t work at Facebook, I’d say it’s about the money. Most people say they don’t want to work there, but if the money was fuck-you good, they wouldn’t say no
