How many nations fall into that category?

There are only roughly 28 nations on earth with a GDP per capita over $20,000 for example.

I happen to find what the six or so best managed welfare states in Europe have accomplished, to be impressive. However, for every Sweden in Europe, there are two Bulgarias. Or there's France, which has seen economic stagnation for nearly a generation. Most of the well-managed welfare states have seen zero or near-zero economic growth for nearly a decade at this point, while their debt has exploded vastly higher as they try to fake-maintain their present standard of living by stealing from the future.
Above, someone suggested they consider the color of the bricks on their house free speech, which is a constitutionally protected right. I don't necessarily agree (although, I don't think some shitty HOA should be able to dictate the color of my damn house), just clearing up your confusion.

> The AMP Runtime needs to know scroll position

Just querying the existing position shouldn't cause it to feel faster. What do they need to know that for anyway?

I promise you 100% that it doesn't feel right. I'm not saying they invented their own page renderer in JS and are using a canvas element for output, but they've done something that changes the feel. I've seen it on other sites too, I assume it's some JS/CSS thing.
High corruption and a very thin fabric of society. Before Chavez came to power an almost apartheid system, which was fine with the (small) elite and of course with the large majority of US commentators.

Over ambitious social programs, an owner-class hell bent on sabotaging and completely backed by the US. What do you do when it all starts to slide? Tighten the screw. When that doesn't work, tighten it again. Recipe for disaster.
If Apache Spark is so great, how come do all notable JS projects use jQuery?
I think you should read a textbook on Socialism before you make comments like this
For a while I worked with Bada, the Korean smartphone OS pushed by Samsung which nobody has ever heard of.

(It was actually not bad; apps written in C++ with a Java-like class library which all ran inside a single process, targeted at fairly small devices. Our test hardware was this massive plastic brick with daughterboards poking out in all directions all wrapped round this utterly gorgeous curved OLED screen.)

You developed on it using a custom IDE which totally wasn't Eclipse (despite being Eclipse) which used gcc as the backend compiler and a bunch of custom tools to generate the deployment packages. Naturally, we ignored the IDE and just used makefiles, so that we could integrate the Bada build into our existing build automation.

...then one update they removed the custom tools and moved their functionality into Eclipse.

This meant that the only way to create applications was to open Eclipse, load the project, and then manually press the 'build' button.

Naturally, we complained, along with everyone else who used it, and never got an answer. The platform died soon after.
Probably not for real-time, but not impossible as a filter. I would imagine it'll be more like Prisma, take your snap and let it chug for a few seconds to give you a pretty picture.
A lot of pitons, especially softer ones, will remain in place. Sometimes on purpose, sometimes because they couldn't be pulled out. But pitons are not really used much anymore. Very, very niche.

Bolts (expansion or glue-ins) are heavily used for protection but the use is controversial in places. They are basically always left in permanently. Push here as been to limit use to areas where there's no other options and to place them carefully to minimize impact. There's a push to only use high-quality stainless (or Titanium for areas exposed to salt) for longest possible life.

The rest of the protections used, nuts, hexes, cams, ice screws, snow pickets, and some exotic devices are usually meant to be removed after use and minimize impact on rock. Although if someone needs to bail in a hurry, leaving expensive gear behind is normal.

Nuts and hexes are basically blocks of aluminium on a wire or webbing sling. Nuts being smaller solid chunks and hexes being larger and hollow. They have tapered shapes (sometime complex, curved, or even designed for a camming action) and you try to wedge them in place. They can be very secure in the right placement. After a good fall on one, it sometimes happen that it cannot be dislodged and it stays fixed for a few months or years.

Cams are mechanical devices designed to grip both sides of a crack and expand outward when loaded. They have two spiral shaped lobes to accomplish this. Very strong when well placed and they have a range of sizes to fit different cracks from tiny body weight only cams around for cracks of 1/4" or so to monsters that fit in cracks of 6" or more.

Ice screws are hollow threaded tubes, the article here does a good job showing how they function.

Snow pickets are T-shaped beams, about 2 feet in length or more that can be driven into hard snow or buried in a trench. Not that strong but workable.

There's a lot of special purpose "protection" that is usually barely able to hold body weight that gets used for aid climbing (when you use the gear to make progress) in situations where nothing else will work. Often to link sections (called pitches) of unaided climbing (called "free" climbing). Free climbing still uses protection in most case, unroped "free-solo" being the exception.
IIRC the iOS UIScrollView has a different scroll behaviour when it's inside a UIWebView. So they might have reset that difference.
so innovative
The arguments provided by the author are rather poor:

1. setting up babel, webpack etc - you don't have to do the setup yourself, just use the cli (https://github.com/facebookincubator/create-react-app)

2. learning es6 syntax - that's not a framework-specific problem, you could run into that w any framework (personally, I don't think it's a problem to begin with, since es6 is actually a lot nicer to work with)

It would've been a lot better if he showed what specific features of Vue make it easier to build apps w it.

Forms support is launching within a few days/weeks.
They can only claim things in the claims section. The two independent claims are #1 and #13. The description is mostly fluff - they really are just attempting to patent a 60% recycled white bag.
Actually, the reverse is true. Cognitive load actually reduces creativity, so by having systems in place to reduce cognitive load you free brainpower to be creative.

That being said, I agree that planning too far in advance is a bad idea, mostly because like the weather, there is an element of chaos in people's lives that makes the best possible action at any given moment hard to predict farther than a few days out.
I already install content blockers on my devices and even without AMP articles load immediately.
Actually, I think this is the first Safari version where IndexedDB works. They shipped a broken implementation earlier.
>Venezuela is a failed state at this point.

Remember when the far left held Hugo Chavez up as the paragon of modern socialism? People pleasing in a petro-state is easy when oil is $150+ a barrel.

we live in an attention based economy. You have to buy people's attention for your app.
I'm sorry, I wouldn't call that framework A/B testing also much as running two experiments and seeing who's ahead after some arbitrary period of time.
Note, that this launch is explicitly not a ranking change. Your non-AMP result will continue to be displayed in the same spot.

This is just a frontend change: If there is an AMP version of a URL, link there is instead.
What does Google Express have to do with a patent filed by Apple?
There seem to be slightly fewer Lets Encrypt and ACME implementations than stars in the sky. Which is fantastic. Last week I read about a privsep/chroot/pledge'd (OpenBSD thing) C implementation https://kristaps.bsd.lv/acme-client/ .
OK then, which countries in the world are or have ever been socialist?

The point isn't that the "textbook" definition of socialism is bad. The point is that every single real world attempt at getting to socialism has been bad, so why wouldnt future attempts run into the same problems?
This was for a new grad role though. I'm just about to get out of college. Looking back , I really fucked up by not using Pythonic style. The only reason I chose python is because of it's string handling capabilities, etc as opposed to C - where I'd have to implement boiler plate stuff most likely, and worry about resizing arrays, etc.
Wait, what? There are numerous countries with the resource curse; the typical result is, "wow, they're not growing as fast as they could"; it's not "so devastated that people have to hunt for rats in the street".

Even Saudi Arabia -- which does redistribute oil wealth like Venezuela and is far from the enlightened Norweigian policy -- is smart enough not to draw down the seed corn.

And are you seriously claiming the only thing stopping West Virginia from this kind of downward spiral, is free highways from Uncle Sam?
> A country like Venezuela should "kind of work" even with corruption and inefficient socialism! What the heck is going on there?

its not just a little corruption. it's absolutely stunning batshit off the charts rampant corruption.
Then GP's explanation makes even more sense. Why would the state treat all enterprises fairly, when its interests are concentrated in particular industries?
I keep wondering if Venezuela won't end up somewhat copying Argentina and politically moving away from the numerous failed policies of the Chavez era.
And languages like Rust, which are working toward eliminating the need for a garbage collector.

What do you call a smear campaign against a target that's actually incompetent?
> So the offensive tone of your comment is misplaced.

What offensive tone? There was no offensive tone, but the fact that you presumed there was says a lot.

> It called itself that way, that's why I used the term, as I explained.

Okay, so not related to what it actually is.

> The reason why there are such people in the U.S. is not corporations per se, but rather lack of social system (which also comes from your fellow citizens). In Europe, we have corporations too and yet we have less problems like this.

Europe has the same problems.

> I am not saying corporations are not a problem, but in this case, they are not the primary cause.

So you are ignoring corporate interests and their influence on society and politics? Clearly corporations and the elite have a huge impact on politics, so ignoring that aspect makes no sense.

> Unlike communist party, corporation cannot prevent you to have a job.

Which communist party? Every party that calls itself communist can prevent you from having a job?

> If you have skills which are in demand, you can still work for smaller business or on your own.

Provided there are smaller businesses which are able to exist alongside the corporation, that they can pay you enough, that you are even able to find them, that you didn't sign a document that prevents you from working for a competitor (which is quite common), etc, etc. Also why can't you work for a smaller company/organization if there is a 'communist' party?
> Because it's 2016?

Frankly, I find the experience of stumpwm to be far more modern and futuristic than that of macOS or Windows. They both seem very 1980s and dated in their concepts.

> What about multimedia? Or an IDE? Or my proprietary apps like Photoshop and Premiere?

Ummm, Debian plays music, videos and games just fine. Firefox plays music, videos and games just fine.

emacs is my IDE. I could also use Eclipse, IntelliJ or whatever if I enjoyed pain and suffering.

I've no desire to use Photoshop or Premiere, but if I did I'm sure I could run Wine.
I can see that, but in my experience none of these new frameworks or libraries have had the same impact that jQuery when comparing it to similar libraries of the time. When I came across jQuery that's what I started using and have never considered switching to anything else since. It's only recently that we can start laying off jQuery simply because the native APIs have finally started catching in terms of ease of use.

As for modern frameworks like Angular, React, Vue, and so on; I have used multiples of them, and by the state of the community, I say they are fairly easy to transition from one to the next and none have had the same impact. I would imagine most reasons for changing is either job change related or just keeping up with the latest shiny thing. Heck, in some cases I still use jQuery with some of the new frameworks because it is still easier to do it that way.

Not until something better (easy learning curve) takes its place.
Google's done that for years (not that it makes it any better, it's just not related to AMP). e.g. if I search 'Hacker News' and copy the link I get:

I agree completely, especially regarding benefits. A lot of folks will look at a base pay rate and turn down the job because they will have $1000/month less "fun money" than if they take the job across the street. What they don't understand is the job across the street has shitty healthcare plans, little or no investments/stock options/pensions, less or less flexible paid leave, and so on.

I went back into government work specifically for the benefits, even though the pay was no more than I was already making at a private company. That company wasn't offering me any health insurance and I had to fight tooth and nail for any time off, paid or otherwise. At my current job, while it's not as mentally stimulating, I can retire at 50 years old with my sanity, full benefits, and retirement intact, and work for myself in my golden years without fear of losing health and life insurance.
My comment is tagged with 'flagged' and set to the lowest score. Obviously these forums lean young and college students which subscribe generally to College identity politics which is very far left.

Meanwhile, extremely low effort posts of "Shut up, Socialism works, there's nothing to see here," are voted up uncritically.

Tell me again how these forums aren't biased?

From looking at research languages with similar systems (Mezzo, LinearML...) none of them seem to have pointer noise. I might be missing something though.
The reason for AMP is surveillance capitalism. If you absolutely, positively believe you have to track your users, writing simple web pages is not an option.

Your choice is either the status quo (pull in lots of third-party cruft), or having a fast-loading page where Google runs the tracking and advertising infrastructure.
> We originally had web standards for a reason, now we're doing this non-standard stuff.

Web standards have always been a mishmash of competing standards. Eventually one spec will win out and that will be the next standard.
I always found the it interesting that when somebody tries to find something to feel better than someone else about, and they pick the most basic, mundane thing. Tying shoes, adding small numbers, reading hallway signs.
There's no way you can pin this on anyone or anything but Chavez, his allies, and their policies. They've ruled Venezuela for 20 years and steered it from flawed prosperity to total ruin.
This was exactly my thought and I was so glad when I saw this talk[1] address it.

your answer is on target but you're wrong to "blame it on communism." that has nothing to do with communism or any other abstract theory of political economy. that is an explicit example of incompetent authoritarian rule by an unhinged despot with no checks on his power.

> Do I have to also support people who prefer to use command line text-based web browsers?

Yes. The web is about linked HTML documents: if you don't support lynx, links, elinks, w3m, emacs-w3m & eww then you're honestly not doing Web development properly.

You have to do more work to not support them, because writing plain HTML + forms is the baseline.

> Before you know it we'll have someone say "Oh I work for a bank, we have HTML disabled here. Can you make it work without HTML?" give me a break.

That wouldn't be using the Web anymore.
Most apps aren't worth downloading. Once you get pass the initial excitement of owning your first smartphone, downloading an app that's just a wrapper for a website isn't worth the time.
> There was a gap in Memphis where the locals objected to its completion because the traffic noise would have disturbed the animals at the zoo.

A bigger reason is that the road would have run straight through Overton Park and required that the entire park be destroyed. People like Overton Park, and the protests over that got the project cancelled. In fact, they actually built the road east of Overton Park, but they stopped there when the protests started. What was intended to be I-40 is now called Sam Cooper Blvd. If you look at Google Maps, you'll see that the gap between the end of I-40 on the west side and the beginning of Sam Cooper basically just consists of Overton Park and a few blocks in each direction.
I think this is a better point. They seem to be incredibly capable for such a small team with such a large impact.
This is the first version of Mac OS X that I'm 0% excited about.

Literally none of the new features[1] are useful to me, considering:

I don't have or want an iPhone
I don't have or want an iPad
I don't have or want an iWatch
I don't have or want an iCloud account
I don't have or want an Apple Pay account
I don't have or want an iTunes Music account
I don't use or need Photos.app
I don't use or need Messages.app
I don't like speaking to my computer
I don't watch TV while doing something else on the computer
I don't use the computer enough for tabs to be useful

Am I really the only one who hits all these bullet points? Am I part of a dying demographic, who doesn't use/need/want any of this fancy Star Trek futuristic life, who's okay with using a credit card and organizing photos via folders, and manually typing stuff into google, and taking notes on a physical note pad with a physical pen?

Interestingly, the parent comment didn't consider near total collapse of production, rather than just a mere ~50% style reduction in efficiency. What actually has happened throughout history's many attempts at Socialism, is production collapse. That's exactly what we've seen in Venezuela.

States rights is more important for progress than you might think. Each state is an incubator for ideas.

single choice monopolies impede progress, whether governmental or corporate. It's better to have states naturally group together than to force it with some top down measure.

Curious American asking any Venezuelans out there: how does this situation get any better? What do you look to for hope? I'm not familiar with the Venezuelan media perspective (any non-state-affiliated stations left?), but from here, it seems like there is no serious effort to change course; on the contrary Maduro seems to be driving ahead with the notion that, somehow, more of the poison will cure the patient.

When does the change in direction come? What brings it on? Will Maduro step down? Will his successor do any better? Or will his successor be even more dictatorial? It's all very worrisome, my heart goes out to those who live under such incompetent rule.
