I've recently switched from Firefox to Opera as my default browser on mobile and desktop, as FF on Android has gone to the dogs of late. I must say, so far, I'm impressed; Opera seems to be the only browser company that's actually innovating at the moment. This free VPN for the desktop joins their existing free VPN for Android. They also have a built-in ad-blocker and a battery saver mode for laptop which is quite innovative too.

What did they miss? In those specific months? I can't think of any apps I installed in that timeframe.
Past a certain level of income, the number of things you can directly buy that will make a significant improvement in your life are extremely rare.

You're back to square 1 and you need to work to improve your life. The technology, products and services simply do not exist.

Unless you are willing to readjust your world view, attitude and ambition to be fine with stagnation (i.e "living life"); you will feel dissatisfied.
I'm not an a musician by most measures, and definitely not an experienced one. I lack exactly training and experience, so my understanding of music notation comes from the same kind of observations as the post author - only over a longer time and in the context of playing many instruments badly. So I don't think I drank any cool aid.

So, my comment is a response to the specific points they made. Yes, there may be cargo culture around it, and certainly the system isn't perfect. But their examples are non-examples of that.

Even if this would be correct (which it is not), it would only require to observe, not influence scrolling.
The point he was making at the start is that it didn't matter that jQuery solved those browser incompatability problems (so did umpteen other libraries), it succeeded because it was easy to get started and build on. The problem being solved is not the matter at hand.
Bit of a stretch to say "we" here, no? Are you speaking for the population of mobile users?
> The biggest thing is that we can't run software with unencrypted PHI on physical hardware that is simultaneously running other people's code.

There is no, AFAICT, no regulation under HIPAA or related law that requires this. Certain service providers may have determined that they cannot provide guarantees of privacy/security without this technical restriction.
Just a small correction: Microsoft bought Skype from Silver Lake / Andreessen Horowitz, not EBay. At the time Microsoft bought it, Skype seemed to prepare for an IPO, although I'm not sure how willing they were to go through with it.
Can Venezuela's current leadership do that without altering the country's political identity? It's been clear for awhile that the Chavism experiment with oil sector management has been a failure. Is there any indication that they're going to change now?
I think notifications are off on iOS by default, and the first time you launch the app, it asks you "[App] wants to send you notifications" and you have to explicitly allow it. Same thing with accessing your contacts/calendar and stuff.
Yes, unless it's level 5. Then you walk.
"Payroll tax" (more appropriately known as the employer-side of the FICA tax) is only 7%, it's really not what I would qualify as "a bitch". My wages are 80% of my total compensation (my employer provides a nice breakdown of insurance costs, 401(k) match, etc), factor in 7% of my wages going to FICA and their total cost to employ me with my total compensation package is ~125% of my annual salary.

I also make a fairly lower wage than the industry average since I'm not in SV, insurance rates don't increase proportionately with salary so if this is what I'm seeing at $75K/yr then at $200K/yr gross these employees are most certainly seeing at least $150K/yr in their salaries.
I use flexbox (with autoprefixer) extensively and I think achieving similar designs without flexbox is a waste of programmer productivity. Yes I am lazy but I think it's productive.

That little "and internet" presupposes such a mountainous pile of infrastructure beneath it to be working that you might as well list out hundreds of things before it. You can't just throw it in there like it's an easy thing.
Yeah, I use Terraform and like it quite a bit. Terraform tends to be quite responsive to changes in AWS land and `terraform plan` is incredibly useful. It's saved me from blowing away instances a few times.

In AWS case, this is an AWS rule about when they will sign a HIPAA BAA, even though there is no HIPAA regulation that specifically prohibits the arrangement at issue. AWS clearly thinks it is worth worrying about.

When you run your own public cloud, you can determine what risks are worth accepting potential liability for.

Over what period of time? It seems like many of these Twitter shamings happen after someone doesn't respond within 48 hours or some silly arbitrary small timeline and then said company likes to rush to Twitter to try and get the mob to sort it out for them.
As a complete layman trying to grok the physics of our reality's fundamentals, now and then during the occasional Wikipedia excursions, I get the feeling that there is no way there are only 3 physical dimensions, and that we as beings rooted in 3D may never be able to see the full picture first-hand.

I think having visual eyesight also makes us heavily biased towards picturing everything as ultimately made up of discrete "particles," and as far as I can tell, our instruments are also limited by trying to distill the results of our experiments into visual images, which results in things like the "wave-particle duality" conundrum.
Æsthetic preference?
> To be clear, founders aren't giving away equity - they are pledging a percentage of what they personally receive on exit. This doesn't reduce the equity that is available for other shareholders.

I never said they were giving away equity. A founder is taking a percentage of their money and, instead of giving it to their employees (like they should especially if you follow many of the YC essays and blog posts about giving more to your employees) they are pledging it to a charity.

Charity is important but this is just the wrong advice. Why would an employee join Company A over Company B when they know Company A's founders are donating some of their money to charity versus investing it back into the company in the form of, say, more generous employee equity package (because you can't have both).
It's important to consider then that it has nothing to do with the 'app' per say - it's the 'icon', i.e. home screen real-estate.
JavaScript isn't going anywhere that soon. However, I must ask you, if you realize that it isn't going anywhere, couldn't you spend your energy and resources in one of the better transpiled languages like PureScript, Elm, or Scala.js (I'm intentionally not including supersets of JS).
If you consider anecdotal evidence then I have received, with no negotiation, similar (statistically identical) offers in low cost of living areas and high cost of living areas.

I've recently switched quite some apps for a shortcut to a mobile site, because they just run a background service using some Google shit I don't use (AndroidWearSync - Todoist&Wunderlist, GoogleNowAuth - Strava). Getting rid of the app and using the website/finding an alternative liberates my device.
"Ever" is a long time but if by that you mean "in our lifetime" then - barring the singularity and everyone technically living forever - no, JavaScript probably won't ever go away.

JavaScript, especially in its most recent iterations, is a decent language with useful properties (non-blocking; can be used purely functionally and in an object-oriented or procedural manner) and a fast runtime. It's especially suitable to the task it's mostly used for: Web app development.

I can hardly think of any programming language that'd be more appropriate in that context right now.

The only real downside is that JavaScript isn't a typed language and there are options like TypeScript that while perhaps not completely solving that particular problem at least alleviate it to a large extent. Who knows? Maybe, the next version of JavaScript will provide a type system similar to TypeScript, which given the latter's adoption and support by several large companies isn't entirely unlikely.
Lindley's paradox
Sounds like you need a commonplace book. I read about them in the book "Where good ideas come from". A commonplace book was a notebook used by the likes of Darwin to store and rehash ideas. I use what I consider to be the modern equivalent, which is a personal wiki (I like tiddlywiki, which is a self contained file I put in dropbox so it's available on all my computers. The author cited above uses software called devon-think, which has the advantage of including semantic search, which pairs ideas based on the words in them that you might not otherwise put together.

Typically when reading I record quotes and ideas and relevant reference information. The wiki allows tagging so the content gets a number of tags.

I've found the ability to re-discover thoughts and ideas to be extremely useful - and was glad to find that there is a historical precedent for this problem/solution.
This seems like a lot of work for something that seems little more than greenwashing: unless the "reinforcement inserts" are less than a third of the total weight a reinforced 60% recycled content bag would contain just as much non-recycled paper (aka trees) as a 40% recycled content bag without the inserts.
It is inappropriate to imply that the value you provide is both development and support, when you only provide support.

Especially in a consumer context, where support is usually a small fraction of the cost.
This is awesome, what motivated you to start such a project?
I applaud the writer. Their achievement is not easy.

One nit that struck me as a bit odd: they felt that a MacBook Air was necessary for their development. I'm not a front end engineer, so maybe I'm biased, but is that so? Personally I love my MBA, but I wouldn't buy it if I had trouble affording it and I think there are plenty of more affordable computers out there that would help someone learn to code.
That covers materialist capture, but there is also non-materialist capture:

>Materialist capture, also called financial capture, in which the captured regulator's motive is based on its material self-interest. This can result from bribery, revolving doors, political donations, or the regulator's desire to maintain its government funding. These forms of capture often amount to political corruption.
Non-materialist capture, also called cognitive capture or cultural capture, in which the regulator begins to think like the regulated industry. This can result from interest-group lobbying by the industry.
Another distinction can be made between capture retained by big firms and by small firms.[11] While Stigler mainly referred, in his work,[12] to large firms capturing regulators by bartering their vast resources (materialist capture) - small firms are more prone to retain non-materialist capture via a special underdog rhetoric.[11]

> This is an indication to the user to pick this site over others.

This is an indication to the user that the site has certain traits (particularly, the UX they experience with AMP sites), and that if they like those traits, they should pick the site over others, and conversely if they dislike those traits, they should favor sites without the indicator over those with it.

> Maybe not initially but unless someone proves to me, with data, that this won't affect what users click on I do not believe this won't affect user behavior.

Obviously it is going to affect user behavior.

> This is an indirect ranking.

No, its information (the same as providing, e.g., [PDF] notations), not "indirect ranking". How it affects behavior, like a file-format flag, is dependent on the value (positive or negative) the user ascribes to the trait it provides notice of.
Share is on the initial page before you read the article. When you tap, there's a popup that has the source in green, making it look like a link, but it's not one - it's just green text. (They've disabled the long tapping context menu btw)

There's a share on google+, facebook, and twitter. facebook and google+ is a "card" without the source URL ... only the twitter share exposes a url (a shortened one).

This doesn't sound like a big intrusive ui thing. They already have an over-sensitive "swipe left" and "swipe right" so you can read another mystery story. When you swipe back because the "send me to mystery story" isn't a feature anyone asked for, amp scrolls to the top ... losing your place.

So now you have to make sure your down and up swipes are directionally perfect otherwise you go to some other story.

Mobile ad tech on news sites is the climax of insanity, but google long ago went into the deep end of the designer dictatorship - lobbing off useful features to create fragile, unpredictable, inconsistent, error-prone interfaces with, miraculously some of the core functionality removed and really useless things triggered with no way to disable them (a poorly connected aux cable triggering google now is a personal favorite).
I'm not in a start-up at the minute, and I should make it clear that I've not yet worked in a senior role at one. That said, I feel like most start-ups would be happy to reach the level of success where this is a problem!

Well, Scaloid is a thing, so you might want to check it out. AFAIK, it is not really popular for Android development, but it makes some people really happy, like predictive keyboards creators.

As for Xamarin, it really depends on what you want to do. If this is just a hobby project, well go for it.
Otherwise, the only use case where it is really interesting is when you need to write an app for both iOS & Android on the cheap.

With a 16gb iPhone, there isn't enough space to download new apps.
Quite a long article and video. I'm wondering who's the intended audience.
My mother, father, wife, and mother-in-law all do not know their itunes passwords so they couldn't even download an app even if they tried. They probably tried once, got frustrated, and gave up forever. I am sure this is a significant portion of the "problem".
I've thought about this extensively, and it's actually not that easy to set one up yourself. For one thing, the overhead required to administer a trust is non-zero, and would be prohibitively expensive (non-sustainable) for a small amount. The barest minimum endowment is at least $10k, and possibly $100k. Best case, you find a way to align the trust with a university, who adds it to their portfolio and administers the funds according to your/their goals.

This also presumes that there are public investment instruments which can get a reliably positive rate of return. In today's economy, it's difficult to get even a few percent reliably. Some places are toying with negative interest rates, even (which means that passive investments are deflationary).
> There have been efforts to augment NTP with authentication, but they still assume a world where each client trusts one or more time servers absolutely.

OpenNTPD has "constraints" where it makes HTTP requests (using TLS) to webservers and checks that the time provided by the NTP server is within a certain threshold of the time returned in the HTTP Date header.

Much simpler and doesn't require dedicated servers.
> We originally had web standards for a reason, now we're doing this non-standard stuff.

Standards today represent the successful non-standard stuff of yesterday.
Maybe I didn't understand you correctly, but you can at least have a "return error on timeout" and process that with a predictable logic. Or maybe you do have an architecture when any individual tardy request absolutely cannot impact others. After all, I come from stream processing systems where there's only few "users" with constant streams of requests, and these users are interdependent (think control modules in a self-driving car).
> "Integrating with other devices" is not their goal. Selling desktops, laptops, monitors, phones, tablets, watches, keyboards, mice, trackpads, ear buds, and to a lesser extent subscription accounts, that's their goal.

Obviously, but offering better integration (even if only with their own ecosystem) is how they are trying to sell more right now.

> There's plenty of useful innovations they could still make that doesn't require them to focus on up-selling me new hardware

I didn't say there weren't, just that it's not likely to advance beyond a certain level in a certain time period. This is about feedback and learning what ideas survive in the market. To their credit, Apple is fairly good at coming up with radical leaps (or, at least implementing those leaps on a mass scale)[1], but they are fairly bad IMO at listening to whether they are working out well in practice (Google has the opposite problem, they so aggressively remove failed ideas that the few people that liked them feel betrayed, and express it loudly). Throwing a few hundred million dollars right now at word processing, or the browser, or any particular thing and then ignoring it is probably not as efficient as a few tens of millions spread out over years, just because there's only so much you can do to advance a field in a short period.

> I guess the one upside you could say is that they're probably not selling your data and/or profile to advertisers. So at least they have that going for them.

Apple ran (runs?) their own advertising service for mobile apps, iAd. I'm not sure the status currently.

That said, Google isn't selling your profile or data to advertisers. That makes zero sense for them to do, and they probably have quite a lot of safeguards to make sure absolutely the bare minimum of information about an individual an ad is served to makes it back to the advertiser (preferably nothing). This isn't because they are stalwart defenders of privacy, but because it's in their best interest to not give away the data that they make their money from. I trust them to act in their self interest.

Security sensitive workloads are often not virtualised because it opens them up to "What are the other virtual machines doing?".

There've been a number of Xen and KVM issues over the years, including a couple which may have resulted in a bad actor having access to the hypervisor (and thus, all its guests). Attacks like Rowhammer also play in this space.
