I'm curious what long term ad click rates are going to be for publishers that use AMP. The user experience is very reader-centric. When you do a search and click on an AMP-enabled page (at the top of the search results) you can then swipe left and scroll to the next AMP-enabled page. It's a strong incentive to just read the headline of an article then swipe away. This is great for readers but bad for publishers since they'll get fewer clicks and less time spent on the site from users who come from google. For those of us who just skim the headlines we'll never even see an ad.

google search will funnel users to amp-enabled pages, so anybody /not/ on the amp train will suffer. In that way it is a walled garden. It's google's version of becoming a portal.

How does google make money off of this?

Ostensibly, they made the security increases in iOS to prevent from being able to comply with these types of requests, ensuring that their software was as secure as possible.

Aside from that, a fourth amendment search or seizure cannot generally compel someone to open a door. The usual logic is that it allows agents entry; the trade-off of letting them in is that you don't have to replace your door after.

This isn't a matter of standing aside while the agents effect the search, it's a whole different thing. Put into (what will assuredly be a bad) analogy, whereas a physical property search involves opening a door, or standing aside while the cops break down the door, this scenario is more akin to demanding that Apple build an entirely new house, one without doors, then removing the old building and installing the new building in its place so that the cops can enter.
> And I much prefer current hangouts to the old google talk plugin. "small", "light"? Did you ever use it. You needed to download and install 2 separate programs to get Google Talk video chat working. Sometimes you'd need to do some port forwarding bullshit just to get it to work.

I'm pretty sure the GP is referring to the native google talk client that gtalk was originally launched with. It was indeed a very simple jabber+sip client (by far the simplest of the major available clients) and had a tiny memory footprint. It did nothing but chat and voice calls.

The effects of this are subtle, but it could be that they are pretty big.

Just look at Google removing forum search from it's engine - so instead of reading discussions among people(and some shills, sure), most people often read commercial stuff or crap journalism.What does that do to democracy ? consumer choice ?
Keep in mind there's more to it than pure frames per second. You also got latency and jitter to worry about which is vital but almost always ignored, probably because it's difficult to measure and understand. Doing it properly still required special hardware and software I believe.
It's likely very much easier to build a telescope array in this solar system than to send a telescope "a couple solar systems away".

KIC 8462852 is 1480 light years away. At 10% light speed it would take over 10,000 years to get within a few solar systems of the star.

On the other hand, a space-based interferometer with a baseline of 15 AU would have an angular resolution of:

1.22 * 500 nm / (15 AU) = 2.7E-19 radians

giving the ability to see things at KIC 8462852 which are

1480 light years * 2.7E-19 = 3 meters across

That's also fantastically advanced, but working backwards, to see objects 100km in size:

(1.22 * 500 nm) / (100km / 1480 light years) = ~100,000 km

I think we can pull that off within 1,000 years, much less 10,000.

No TV/cable, but on a trip recently I tried to watch syfy on the hotel TV -- and it was more ads than show. I can't believe anyone puts up with it; I swear it was five minutes of ads and five minutes of movie. No thanks; I'll just wait until things come to Prime or Netflix.
Same here! I've had the Math ∩ Programming blog open in a tab on my computer for probably 3 weeks now, trying to get around to reading it. Having it delivered once or twice a week in a logical order would be amazing, and worth paying for.
Yes! Assuming you run it with --tui, otherwise you'll hate yourself forever.

It may seem to have some mental overhead at first because you have to type commands, but it becomes second nature after a while. IMHO, it has far less overhead than debuggers where you have to click everywhere. There's a reason why people don't really bother writing pretty frontends for it.

If you use an IDE for Linux development, its debugger actually talks to GDB behind the scene. You can ditch the middle man without trouble.

The only thing that DDD really excels at (when it doesn't crash because, uh, long story short, Motif) and you can't get straight from GDB is visual representation of linked structures.
THE REAL ADVANTAGES OF a WINDSHIELD ACCORDING TO EXPERTS
Ah! Very true. My Toki Pona is very rusty as you can see. I forgot a lot of compound lexicon and idioms :(

I've always seen 'Toki Pona' used as a proper noun following the proper noun rules to avoid confusion with 'good talk' and the like (which I guess is the purpose of the rule in the first place, as well as discouraging proper nouns). I learnt it a long time ago so maybe the requirement has been dropped? Or lousy usage since it's very common that people forget to follow the proper noun rule. In 'kama sona e toki pona' I'd be inclined to understand "learning to talk well" rather than "learning Toki Pona". Perhaps that was the intent? Anyways, there's so much outdated and non-canonical material, and most of the canon has holes and even doesn't follow its own advice. And actual usage has diverted so much too (plus having zero native speakers everyone has their own usage). "Language-ing" is hard :P Even more so in a vague language like Toki Pona.

The Coca Cola example would require 'e' to mark the direct object ('sina telo ala telo e telo Coca Cola'). I've grown so accustomed to a common noun following 'e' that it missing sounds really jarring.

mi toki e toki Toki Pona tan ni: toki Toki Pona li musi tawa mi. toki Toki Pona li pona kin tawa ali! tenpo suli la mi toki mute e toki Toki Pona. taso tenpo ni la mi toki lili e ni.
In many cases it's true that an S-Corp or LLC will be preferable for a business, because they can be treated as pass through entities (under the IRS check the box regulations) and not subject to federal income tax at the corporate level. But S-Corp's have some significant limitations for a startup company seeking investment--most importantly, they cannot have multiple classes of stock.

As others have mentioned, we've started with the C-Corp form because we think it will be what most of our users would prefer initially, but we'll look at expanding it to other forms.

>The action should serve as a wake-up call, not just for other router makers, but entire industries tied to the so-called Internet of Things wave that's adding Internet connectivity to refrigerators, watches, and other everyday devices. Over the past few years, researchers have uncovered a litany of security defects that make it possible for such devices to be remotely hijacked by attackers. Often, the hackers can use their position to install malicious code on the devices or to surreptitiously monitor the comings and goings of the owners.

Pretty much what we've all been saying here.
:) AMP isn't for you then. Honestly your site is probably better than AMP could ever be just inherent in the fact your site doesn't need a library enforcing rules, but thats not the point of AMP. AMP is for forcing news sites to do similar things to what I assume you have already done.

Imagine some web developer at Huge Mega News Corp (HMNC), he comes to his manager about the fact they have 5 analytics suites running and when the ads load they bounce the screen around. His manager reviews it and determines its not important because 1. People are still coming to the site 2. It isn't stopping people from coming to the site. Now the dev at HMNC can come to his manager and say hey what you want doesn't conform to AMP, we can't do that.

I have heard multiple times, AMP will not increase your ranking. Load times don't inherently increase your ranking over other content. But if your site has similar merits to another site, then load times among other things will effect who is ranked higher.

Yeah, except Windows 10 actually does cost money. And the people who pay for it still get to see ads.

It seems like the only sure way to avoid all this tracking crap in Windows 10 is to pony up for the Enterprise version (which is basically impossible if you’re not a business).
> When a client performs a query, it asks the server to return buckets of the tree as it traverses the index remotely and incrementally, as in Fig. 2b. The client fetches and decrypts buckets in order to figure out which buckets in the next level of the tree to fetch next. Frequently accessed buckets can be cached client-side so that subsequent queries do not make unnecessary network calls."

>Which would suggest that it might be a bit slow to do many round-trips for each query.

I was curious and found some information through a search (key point italicized) [1]:
"On the performance aspect, with a real world use case of 1GB index, just 150KB of data must be transferred on average over three requests to fetch the results back. In full text search terms, 250MB of data can be queried in around 500msec which even though slow, may not be prohibitively slow for some use cases. Insert queries also may take around the same time. The number of requests needed to fetch the query results grows logarithmically with the data size."

[1]: http://www.infoq.com/news/2015/04/Encrypt-Database-CryptDB-Z...

>I'm guessing there could be some specific use-cases where this is not so relevant?

They claim the performance degradation is not much, but that would become worse as the number of clients grows. The clients also would need to have a relatively decent amount of RAM and CPU power to handle this.

Whether it's justified or not is nearly beside the point. Will backlash happen from this? If it hits the login screen of every Windows 7 user, it'll almost certainly be in mainstream press within the next couple of days. It won't last, of course.

So let me get this straight: instead of simply incorporating in your own sane tax country and accepting payments through Avangate or such, you incorporate in USA and are subjected to high corporate taxed and insane IP laws.

All so that Stripe doesn't have to solve the schlep of sending payments to any country, a schlep already solved by pretty much any other payment processor out there...

Researchers actually found something that was already known for some time. 20 years ago I remember reading an old book about learning techniques. One of the techniques in it, and one that I use for myself and my kids is to sound out the answer to questions in various tones. For instance:

8 times 6 equals FORTY EIGHT (yelled).
8 times 6 equals forty eight (whispered).
8 times 6 equals forty eight (monotone).
etc...

It does work, but it frustrates me that these researchers think this is something new.

I think this touches the odd phenomenon of our hedonic preferences. In a given moment there are probably a majority of people in corporate, public ("money making machines" as I believe someone referred to them as) who would state that they desire the increased vacation, provided meals, ping pong table version of happiness at work and truly believe that would make them better off. And it likely would to some degree, but as has been shown in economics over and over, outside of basic needs we have a remarkable ability to normalize our happiness back to a baseline level despite increases in material access (but we still crave). Thus this may put an employer in an odd dilemma if deciding where to place their "happiness" efforts for their employees. Employees would support "perks" and "perks" are easy. But to sustainably become a motivating and development-focused employer you need a ton of buy-in from likely apathetic managers, you need a top-down level of emotional maturity and management skill that is rarely seen in companies of scale, and you need to have the ability to operate in a longer term horizon (because payoffs and results take time) which few companies and leaders do. I guess the 'so what' from this is that we should take it upon ourselves to move beyond visceral preferences to act in our (and others') real best self-interest.
Wireless charging, like nuclear fusion for power generation, has been just a few years away for decades. So that makes me skeptical. It isn't that I don't think some charging is possible, but I do think the devil is in the details of making it for the population at large.

Ask HN: One email, multiple team members
If you have a very small company, usually you go with a main email info@domainname.com etc. How do you handle that with may be 2-3 employees ?

For example, lets say that you get on an average of 20-30 emails per day on info@domainname.com. If Mary looked at 5 of them, but then went away and John came later and he sees that someone probably read those but who ? Was a response sent ? Ok he can check the Sent folder but is there a better way ?

So tl;dr is that is there a way to use the same email address but tag the emails in such a way that different team members know how read it, what they did to it, was a response sent and any subsequent followups ?

If it's scientifically proven that a drop of blood can't be accurate, what is the alternative to going into the vein? Maybe you wipe down the wrist with alcohol, then put on a cuff link apparatus that simultaneously takes 20 drops of blood.
You are right about the identifiers. And that is exactly what makes us concerned about access patterns attacks.

They are not as dangerous when queries are rare. But we do explore possibilities to mitigate this attack vector completely using oblivious RAMs which become more and more performance.

You are also right about clients updating the b-trees. Currently we use object-level locks to keep data consistent. We may add storing deltas for buckets to keep them on the server when a conflict appears plus use additively homomorphic encryption for counters (BTree.Length object).

I've seen research that shows the GPU being 98-99% when using QEMU/KVM. I haven't used the system long enough to accurately quantify my personal experience.

> Is it as simple as it seems?

For me getting the GPU working was the easiest part. It worked on the first try. The hardest part was finding good docs (Arch wiki & VFIO blog), trying to understand their little ecosystem, and finding the right compatible parts (hint: besides the CPU, it's really easy). I'd never used QEMU/KVM before (I used VirtualBox previously) so that was a big learning curve. It seems like things have matured quite a bit since the VFIO blog wrote its articles, as a number of things had changed and become easier.

I think the big problem with the initiative system in California is that an initiative constitutional amendment needs only a bare majority to pass. While I believe the people should be able to amend the constitution, I think it should require a supermajority of at least 60%.

That would mean the vast majority of initiatives would be statutes, which could in principle be subsequently amended or overridden by the legislature. Of course, the legislature would presumably be reluctant to modify a popular initiative without a very good reason, as there would be a political cost to doing so, but at least it would be possible.
