"[C]onsider two indistinguishable workers, you and your clone. By definition, you/clone have the same gender, ethnicity, years of schooling, family background, skills, etc. In 2006 you/clone graduated with identical academic records from the same university and obtained identical job offers from Facebook and MySpace. Not knowing any more about the future than the analysts who valued Facebook and MySpace roughly equally in the mid-2000s, you/clone flipped coins to decide which offer to accept: heads – Facebook; tails – MySpace. Clone’s coin came up heads. Yours came up tails. Ten years later, Clone is in the catbird’s seat in the job market — high pay, stock options, a secure future. You struggle. Back to university? Send job search letters to close friends? Ask distant acquaintances to help? The you/clone thought experiment may seem extreme, but recent research that I have conducted with colleagues finds that the earnings of workers with near-clone similarity in attributes diverged so much by the place they worked that rising inequality in pay among employers has become the major factor in the trend rise in inequality. ... The labor market has been dominated by economic forces that pull the wages of firms further apart from each other, motivating our analysis of the role of employers in increasing inequality."

To be fair, the user coming from a search engine is most likely to want to navigate back to Google than to stay on the page. It might not be benevolent but it is an improvement to the user experience of most people.
Many PRs doing just that: https://github.com/ampproject/amphtml/pulls?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q...
your solution is genius! thanks so much!
The problem is that if you don't play by their "standard box" rules, you may not end up in the truck at all.

The users browsing the AMP results may never feel compelled to scroll down to see non AMP results.

So a publisher's choice isn't: "standard size for faster delivery", it's: "use AMP or receive less traffic than you're currently receiving"

Glad it is a synthetic post. Some people really think like that though.
Happy to address the close button:

You are on a search page, you go on layer deep by clicking. The close button goes back. I don't see what else it should do. Mind you that I do understand that a link to the origin server would be a good improvement (and I've stated that in the post).

I'm not sure what you find disingenuous. AMP are just web pages saying "HEY I A AMP, please use treat me as AMP". You can publish the same bytes minus the "HEY I A AMP" and get the old behavior.
Why does it have to be a government. We have Google.

Is this a PR stunt by Include? I read ycombinator religiously and I have never heard of this organization?
Am I being uncharitable in saying the TLDR is:

This is working as expected and you need to do more work to make AMP work for you?

Why can't it work with templates, why does content that was created need to be created again for AMP? This doesn't seem very scalable.

Also, the attribution for ads and analytics basically means you need to reimplement your entire tracking code within the schema and spec of AMP's analytics attributes which only supports a subset of existing providers rather than allowing an abstract interface.

Also to the point that AMP doesn't affect search position, is this true if someone serves a shitty AMP page? Or is it only true that it won't boost position?
I don't think it's that the variety doesn't translate to the game, I think it's more just that this kind of mix-and-match approach doesn't generate anything that creates a strong perception of variety. Once you see one stegosaurus-headed thing, anything else with a stegosaurus head looks familiar even if this time it's got painted toenails or a floppy tail.

The result invariably looks about as exciting as one of those mix-and-match flipbooks: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/de/a7/7d/dea77dbbf...
This phenomenon reminds me of what it's like to send PRs to a project, hoping it gets approved and merged ASAP... Then being given push rights, and suddenly finding yourself on the other side of the fence: hoping PRs are reviewed very rigorously and merged only after much scrutiny, to keep the code quality and maintainability up, scope low, etc.
I'm also curious to know the use case and am reminded of the "Do you need a blockchain?" flowcharts [1][2]

"Reassembly" does this well-- you build ships with prices for every component and roam the galaxy, fighting a variety of built-in and player-created enemy ships.

I use Ctrl+[ instead of Esc, since I find that far faster and requiring less hand movement.

I notice from observing other people type that there is an aversion to moving hand position, whereas the idea of moving hand position is not unfathomable to me, perhaps as I have played piano and violin.

I'm not averse to moving hand position, and I don't use the strict one-finger-per-key rules either, but I do try to minimise hand movement overall since it means faster typing.

Whether a single person passed along information they shouldn't have to the Clinton campaign, for unknown reasons (in the hopes of garnering favor? Because of opposition to Trump? We don't know) does not constitute "the mainstream media" actively colluding with her campaign. It constitutes a single person possibly colluding with her campaign. Even then, Brazile says it wasn't about the presidential debate (and that she didn't have access to questions for that)[1], but about a separate panel she was participating on:

A Democratic Party official suggested the question was actually prep for a panel Brazile was set to appear on, saying Brazile normally checked with both Democratic candidates for their positions. The day after the email was sent, Brazile appeared on ABC's "This Week" as a panelist.

Now, this isn't the best excuse, so I'm not sure I believe it, but I'm also not sure what I'm supposed to expect the Clinton campaign to have done. Loudly proclaim they got a town hall question beforehand when Brazile may have been misinterpreted, or wrong? Denounce her afterwards when they had already benefited from the knowledge, so people would vilify them anyway? If this was as bad as it looks, I'm still left concluding it was, until proven otherwise, and isolated incident, and one in which I think the campaign may have benefited, but ultimately didn't act in any way I wouldn't have expected them to (barring further information, such as them pumping her for more info). I also don't harbor any fantasies that the Trump campaign would have acted any differently.

Finally, I agree, it is journalistically horrifying. That's because journalism has it's own standards and ethics to consider. It was horrible for a journalist. But Clinton and her staff aren't journalists, they are politicians, and while it would be great if it wasn't true, we expect less from them. That's why journalism is so important and why it's protected under the first amendment, because it keeps politicians in check.

In the US, Federal Law supersedes State Law. So yes, the Feds can override these rules for their own purposes.

You could also point out that the State can also override State Laws. State Parks don't follow these rules either.

I'm not sure what your point is given that Khosla is not, in fact, part of the Federal or State Government. If your point is to say that exceptions exist, well yay you are technically correct (which is the best kind of correct). But so what? Those limited exceptions have zero effect on the conversation and discussion at hand.
Well, it certainly works with templates (like the WordPress AMP plugin), but that only gets you that far. It is definitely work to adopt AMP, but most people who have done it are pretty happy with the workflow. We are always listening for feedback, though, and are looking for ways to make it easier.
As positive as the response sounds, it is an empty promise.

> We’re looking at ways to make the source link more discoverable and will update once that is done.

If Google was actually going to fix the issue, they would have said "we will make the close button direct users to the original site and will update once that is done" OR "we are changing the x (close) button to a ← (back) button".

"x" means "close" and "←" means "back". This is confusing UX at the least and arguably a dark pattern.
According to this article, 16% of the Harvard class of 2019 are legacies: http://features.thecrimson.com/2015/freshman-survey/makeup-n... (The survey was voluntary, and there is no mention of the percentage response. Apparently Harvard does not publish the actual number of legacies.)

So yes, things are better than in my day. I would say that the number of people who would not have bothered to attend Harvard in the 80's was very small indeed.
Beranek and BBN both make an appearance in Mitch Waldrop's excellent book "The Dream Machine," which is in theory a biography of J.C.R. Licklider (who was mentioned in the obit), but in practice a history of computing from the 1930s onward. It has been out of print for some time, but a Kindle edition just came out this summer[1]. It's a great book and worth many times the $3.99 Amazon is charging for it.

According to the article, Yelp had 7 different data sources and similar number of targets.

If they wrote a loader for each combination, they'd end up with 49 combinations. Not to mention 7 loaders to write every time they add an app.

With Kafka - they just need to connect each thing to Kafka - 14 connectors instead of 49.

>Now many people think it should be able to do that, but
>that's certainly not what it was designed for.

That's just a cop out though to say it isn't designed for that. Siri's biggest competitor is designed for it and does it very well on top of doing everything Siri does besides that (except perhaps wolfram and witty replies). Apple's hand is forced on the matter, and frankly their hands are tied without having an extremely powerful search engine under their belt. I doubt they are gonna get too far scraping Bing before MS steps in, if that's the route they decide to go.
There is a difference between having an opinion or stance on something and repeating racist, ignorant and bigotry statements from a candidate. As far as I know, Thiel has done nothing but make a donation, he isn't forcing his views on anyone at YC nor publicly parroting/endorsing things Trump is saying.

In this instance Thiel has done nothing more than make a donation to a political candidate many don't like.
I think this is a really good example of "Calculation" vs "Choice", as defined in this Extra Credits video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lg8fVtKyYxY

TL;DW

"Calculations are decisions based solely on reason, with a clear correct answer." That'd be the decision to chose armour instead of cold resistance.

"Choice is overcoming internal conflict. Without conflict, there is no choice, only decisions."
This actually is a good example for the "only turn left" gun, as there's a conflict between maneuverability vs firepower, which are rather incomparable.
I'm not sure what you're referring to as "first version". Did you work on Katana at Sony, and are you referring to the choice to use HDF5?

The idea (a hierarchical organization of geom prims and transforms) was very similar between ILM and Sony. The library API organization (for better and worse) and hashing more more ILM but it was a pretty close collaboration all along the way.
I get it and obviously it goes without saying that's their prerogative. But it's a little but like not viewing Cosby any more or not listening to Wagner, or not reading Mein Kampf or Das Capital because of what they represent or forgoing drugs because they were developed by [think of something very reprehensible]. Or someone not being friends with me because I don't believe in religion (and therefore deny their belief system).

As far as I know, while mr Trump has vilified illegal immigrants, and I may be mistaken, I don't think he wants to curtail legal immigration (with exception of immigrants from volatile places) but I constantly hear that he's against (all) immigration --I believe he's against a _kind_ of immigration, but not all. It's not like Germany or Sweden or Russia or South Africa just let everyone in. They also have policies, except they exclude people in nicer language.

To add: I didn't think it would even be necessary for Sam to have to say that Peter would stay with YC. I thought it was overly cautious to do so. But this business is ridiculous. I mean people are seriously wanting to hunt people down over political views...

Look, if Trump were to win (or Hillary) it means that more people than not voted them into office and therefore they have the backing of a large constituency. So, we're not just saying the candidate is objectionable but the people (and there are lots on both sides) who are wholly objectionable and irredeemable. Which means our country has gone to the can.
The internet is about hyperlinks, not hierarchical views - this move by Google feels very disingenuous.
AMP works great in Firefox (modulo this bug right now https://github.com/ampproject/amphtml/issues/5479 :) and all other modernish browsers. Google Search currently chooses not to display it for FX, but that is not due to a limitation in AMP.
When I was 20, most of what I had was books and they'd fit in 2 or 3 boxes. When I moved, I'd pack 'em up and mail them to myself bookrate.
To some, the point of minimalism isn't about minimizing consumption - it's about minimizing the cognitive and emotional upkeep that comes with owning things. That mindset is compatible with buying new stuff more frequently if you shed the old.
I see boxes, so those definitely aren't normal spaces. But they made me click...
Did you say you wanted an album specifically? I've never had any trouble with saying "play the album X".
Am I in the minority in that I found the function of the "x" to be very clear? I don't know if it is fair to call it "nothing less than a dark pattern" without a bit more data.
But most modern editors have similarly efficient shortcuts for all those things that fit alongside modern UI shortcuts. e.g. in Sublime:

<Ctrl-D><Bksp> to delete a word.

<Ctrl-Shift-D> to duplicate a line. [0]

<Ctrl-F> for search.

<Ctrl-Home/End> to go to the top or bottom.

I'm increasingly unconvinced that vim has much to offer in terms of shortcuts when compared to actual modern editors, rather than some kind of strawman notepad.

[0] No numeric repetition, but I was never convinced by that feature TBH. In most cases, the mental overhead of working out the appropriate number for a situation was greater for me than just spamming a button a few times.
The trouble is I'm not sure which one is which in that statement.
I'm really impressed with Factor. This is the first time I've heard about it. Thank you for mentioning it.
Yeah, the quality is double. I'm not saying the price isn't worth it. I'm saying the price is in an awkward point. They're competing with both fast food and restaurants.
Something I wish they would have done with minecraft: let players structure across the world influence each other games.

Well it depends on what version you believe. I think that first he wanted to ban Muslims, then Muslims from certain places, and then just people from certain places.

I really think he actually wants to ban Muslims but he had to walk back a bit from that stance to appease people.
> led directly to a change in leadership at DNC.

Yes, followed by the person who was forced to step down being immediately re-hired by the HRC campaign. What is troubling about it is what it suggests about HRC -- that she got cronies into powerful positions in the DNC, that they helped subvert the primary process in her favor, and that she re-hired the disgraced DNC leader, signaling to any other cronies that she'd have their back if they got caught, too.

The issue is institutional corruption, and it should be the main story out of the leaked emails. Politics can get ugly, but the purpose of the primary is to vet the candidates that have pledged allegiance to the party by letting party members vote in the primary election.

In my opinion, HRC should have been put on the spot to answer for why the corruption that benefitted her happened, and why she re-hired DWS the next day.

I'm not aligned with either party so I don't care so much who the candidate is, but I do care about the quality of the institutions that are part of our democratic system. We should all care, because the institutions (and their lack of corruption) is more important than who wins any single election (primary or secondary).

When you think about all the idealistic Sanders supporters who donated money and time only to have their trusted DNC leaders try to sabotage their preferred candidate, the amount of harm done to our democracy by this was substantial. Think of the cynicism and frustration it created, all so that HRC would be a few percent more likely to win the nomination, and win it in an unfair way.

Politics is a long term game. Partisans like to tell us it's urgent and that we must act immediately (regardless of the costs) to impact the most important election in history. This fake urgency is the technique GWB used to sell the Iraq war. It's an effective but embarrassingly dishonest propaganda technique.

> In my opinion, it's not so much about the "content" as much as it is about the number of interacting systems...

Right on. I'll give a concrete example from one of the most immersive games I recall, Ultima VII. Now, this may or may not have been intended as a possibility by the developers, but I think it's important to consider this could have been emergent gameplay non the less. Why is this important? Because it should serve to inspire the pursuit of future emergent gameplay of course!

So here it is -> The Bank Robbery.

The Setup:

Lord British will resurrect dead people you bring to him(you can put dead people in your sack!). NPC's have daily schedules(go to work, the pub, home to sleep, etc), and resurrected NPC's will find their way back into their schedule. The bank/mint in Britain has a banker name Cynthia. She has the keys to all the locked doors and chests that have tones of gold bars and coins.. There are powerful guards in lobby.

What you do:

Grab powder kegs from the castle and bring them to the lobby. Ignite the kegs to kill the guards and Cynthia. Loot her corpse to get the keys, then place the corps in a party mates bag. Now start making your way through the mint with the keys while locking the doors behind you. More guards will arrive and be blocked by you locking the doors. Loot every room and exit the back of the mint. Flee town until the heat is off. Return and take Cynthia to Lord British asking him to resurrect her. Cynthia will go home and return to her routine. Go back to the mint the next day and Cynthia will be at work! Sell her all the gold bars and nuggets you stole for coin. Profit :D

Systems interacting in unforeseen ways is totally the way to go with this stuff. Ultima VII has given me a lot of inspiration for creating a multi-resolution whole-world AI system that can make more of these sorts of stories possible. One day perhaps.
I have no clue what "Project Include" is or does, but things like make me want to know even less. It seems like the only hate being advocated is toward people with differing political views.

Heck it's getting to the point that an institution that doesn't go out of its way to join the public shame game will probably themselves get shamed!
Beyond AI they have lots of basics to get right.

Hey Siri turn on flash light...

> given heightening consumer awareness of how dangerous high energy Lithium Ion can be, and how sensitive they are to damage.

I assume you're talking about the Note 7? To be honest, I think the details about the why and how of the Note 7 fires are lost on the general populace. Most people don't particularly care why (and they shouldn't need to), they just care that it happens.

That is where we currently are. In our user testing it tests really well, but there appears to be confusion in this community which would be good to address.

My current feature request is to link the "publisher domain" to the origin article, so that one can always click that to get there and use it to copy the link.
I highly recommend reading Hillbilly Elegy to understand this in more depth!
I did a quick search, turn out Include might not just be a fringe organization (ie. this isn't a lame attempt at PR).
