The user sees a bunch of fields that are not supposed to be filled. And of course he may click ok without further check. The solution is not perfect but is much better than the current "no warning" solution.
Worked on SunOS, Solaris, MacOS, Red Hat, CentOS, and, more recently, Ubuntu. CIOs choose Red Hat mainly for support and reliability. Reliability is the word that comes to most engineers mind when the RH and CentOS OSes are mentioned (certainly for good reasons). Reliability mainly relies on using older kernels and features, that have been patched over and over ; sure, that works, reliability wise. But on a number of rather recent projects, comparing Ubuntu server and RH/CentOS, it appears settings services up (eg samba) was way easier on the newer Ubuntues than on the latest RH/Centos (not mentioning the many issues migrating from 6 to 7) . Also, using newer kernels, Ubuntu performs well, taking advantage of the newest internals, memory management and sharing, IPC etc... and no specific reliability issue (IMHO, reliability wise, Ubuntu and the like are as solid as RH nowadays).
Question: in 2017, does reliability still mean using long-tested, but older kernels and features?
How do you know it's hidden, for sure?
The fields may be displayed in a non-showing mode in css (visible:hidden, display:none), or, worse, the fields might be shown in the same background color as the page (white on white). The fields could also be displayed with a 1px width... or buried somewhere within some text three pages down below...
The autofil feature needs to be smarter, and show the user the list of fields to be filled, and ask if it's ok.

Don't worry, the dentists lobby is strong in Europe as well.

Hopefully that covers AI ethics in China and Russia as well (otherwise, it's useless).

Maybe it blocks ads, thus making Safari use less CPU, ram, bw,...
Why? Are you retiring? Going to Google (like a lot of competent engineers)? Creating your own structure? ....

Currently the way to thank users who report security issues is: "Fuck off!"
Altaba? I mean, what is that? People are going to confuse it with "Alibaba."
BING was also a surprise to everyone, and look how well it did
Hey, you have seemingly no idea how difficult it is to come up with a rather short name that's available as a .COM

Besides the language, the code is good!

"don't autofill hidden form fields"

OMG whatever does that watch, its 1980's look is a killer
What happens then?
You mean after the nuclear war? We'll all find shelter inside the sarcophagus where the radioactivity will be lower.
What happens then?
Hopefully thanks to progress made in physics we have a way to disable radioactivity.
