> 31 percent of those receiving benefits have mental disorders

This has got to be a major contributing factor. Add in those with undiagnosed psych problems, and I'm sure it would stand out even more. [Of course, maybe they would be balanced out by the 'fakers'-- but that is almost equally alarming, and itself suggests all kinds of deeper problems.]

Both reducing the stigma of and increasing access to mental health care are hugely important right now. Most people with such issues are perfectly capable of being productive employees-- but not if they are marginalized through terrible hiring processes, workplace 'social politics' and inflexible, unsympathetic (or simply incompetent) management. A robust jobs program could certainly help.
I agree, since that's pretty much what AMP is doing (free cdn/hosting.)
Heh I think in our current world you could get a patent for that just fine.
It's exactly these kinds of issues that add to my impression that containerisation, and Docker in particular, is more of a religion than a solution.

I don't hate it per se, but I'm just a bit fed up of people telling me I should be using it without being able to articulate what problem it's going to solve for me.

At the moment it feels like just one more thing to learn, and one more moving part, that isn't strictly necessary in order to achieve what I need, which is basically to deploy software without a heap of aggravation.
The matplotlib API was designed for people moving to Python from Matlab.

That's your opinion. Graphics is also not the thing I'm most interested in, but let's not think that we are a realistic view of the overall market.
It's pretty straightforward to provide a link in the page content that goes to the non-AMP version of the page. Multiple other news sites already do this.

How is the first solution a new solution?

The Marty descending by the time-travelling Marty who "becomes his own grandparent" either has other genes than the original Marty (and thus is either another person, not the one that originally came, which maintains the paradox), or always was his own grandson (so this new solution is just the already known time-loop solution a la 12 Monkeys).
At the risk of outing myself as behind the cutting-edge, what is CTR?
Yes, that will for sure stop the Chinese knock-offs... lol

I just fail to see where the news here are. It's obvious to me that not even a patent would have prevented this. So what's the news? That they copied it while it was still in the crowdfunding phase?
I love that group policy! It will still force a restart about every 9 days with that enabled, but it's much better than daily restarts.

Is that more of a result of the 2 forks that happened to create the product, than open source?

Also, it seems that the community versions are drops from the commercial product - that generally causes lack of community.

Users having the ability to edit with the code, and provide detailed bug reports is a massive benefit - and is probably a reason that these customers are using the product.

>Are we going to overcome the death?

It's a non issue, because there are 3 options:

(a) We will in our lifetime, so we will hear about it and all will be fine
(b) We will, but not in our lifetime, so we'll be dead already.
(c) We won't, and we will be dead at some point.

So none of those cases poses an issue for us, where we can do anything about it.

Except if we studied biology and can help get to a sooner. Either that than, we just wait and see (or not see).
If we had that, someone would come along with a flashier technology, content providers who could afford to try that technology would, consumers who want more would use that technology, and the web would evolve much along the same lines as it has.

Google has an eye on the next billion web users---the ones who aren't on the network yet because of cost and bandwidth. Their experience will be significantly bandwidth-constrained in the short run, and AMP is one of the initiatives to provide a segment of the web that works in such an ecosystem.

If the web were going in a direction to serve that demographic organically, AMP wouldn't be necessary.
Twice I've been bit by the unexpected updates during shutdown during a power failure. At home my UPS is only good for 5 minutes, so I want to shut down as soon as the power goes down. I do that, and Windows starts on "Installing 17 updates", with absolutely no way for me to intervene. And powering down in the middle of OS updates has to be about the worst possible time for it.

It was a good reason even if they were incorrect regarding their suspicions, and they did not have either the proper paperwork to enter the premises or the legal authority to remove what they did. As someone personally involved in the whole affair I can assure you that it was considered excessive and the Secret Service rightly deserved losing that case.
No.

But honestly, spend a weekend learning Gimp. It's a pain, yes I know, but I'm really glad that I did. The official tutorials are wonderful. You'll be able to do so much more, and do it so much better, and even a bit quicker than you could in Paint.NET that you'll wind up preferring Gimp even in Windows.

Just be sure to use single-window mode.

> If Google edge caching really is critical, then I'd rather see an architecture in which the AMP content is signed by the originating site, and the signature is looked up and validated client-side.

AMP's purpose is to deliver content at minimal bandwidth and latency. Requiring the client to side-channel to the originating server (that can be God-knows-where relative to the requesting client) defeats the purpose of creating a system for low-bandwidth users to quickly fetch and display content on mobile devices.
I'm sure the current output is very limited, though; I didn't see any particularly beefy capacitors when I skimmed the schematic.

Which version of Photoshop are you using?
The most sad thing for me is how Windows is such a given for PC gaming. :( It wouldn't have to be like this, there's nothing saying it should be a huge gaming OS, so it's too bad it is. I wish Valve would have been more successful with Steam OS. That would have fixed everything at least for me. As someone who otherwise likes amateur photography and programming, Linux is just as good or better at everything else with e.g. Darkroom and RawTherapee for photography, and programming being a given. Lightroom isn't even fun to use with its obnoxious enforced workflow and business model, just too bad it's so big on the plugin scene.

Windows is hanging onto this thin line, but it's a damn strong line for many.
> Gimp is no replacement for Photoshop and Inkscape is not replacement for Illustrator

Nor is Photoshop a replacement for the Gimp, or Illustrator a replacement for Inkscape. They are not cheap clones forever playing catchup to the commercial packages, but mature tools in their own right. Sure, the FOSS tools might miss some of the advanced features the proprietary tools have, but for web development both of them offer plenty of features — and they are free to boot!

Whether or not one can replace the other is mostly a matter of what you are used to. No alternative is going to satisfy you if you've intensively used Photoshop for a decade.
If Adobe supported linux, I could almost do my entire job without Windows. The only missing piece would be support for Exchange-based email. But for now I've got two machines, 3 monitors, and make great use of Synergy.

I feel like a luddite though because I use and love linux, but have never taken the time to learn and use the workspaces feature. It would probably be cheaper to learn it than to keep throwing monitors at my space issues :P

> ... yet considerable effort is spent trying to figure out the Big Bang - and it's not like you'll find anyone claiming those efforts are "not science".

Good observation. I thought there was a context to Hoyle's statement, so I checked the Wikipedia:

Hoyle died in 2001 never accepting the Big Bang theory.[25]
"How, in the big-bang cosmology, is the microwave background explained? Despite what supporters of big-bang cosmology claim, it is not explained. The supposed explanation is nothing but an entry in the gardener’s catalogue of hypothesis that constitutes the theory. Had observation given 27 Kelvins instead of 2.7 Kelvins for the temperature, then 27 kelvins would have been entered in the catalogue. Or 0.27 Kelvins. Or anything at all."

Surprisingly Quick – a lesson learned about one particular technique
That's what computers are doing by switching entirely to solid states, but I was more thinking your console library would still be on a (very) cheap hard drive and when you start up a game it just starts loading everything it can into RAM while you play.

I've only used macs for a year and only did 10.5 -> 10.6 which went smooth IIRC.

As best i can tell, the soviet system dreamed up by Lenin and cooped into a personality cult by Stalin was pretty much a bastardization of what Marx was envisioning.

Not that communism and Socialism was more than far flung ideals even for Marx. For the most part he was appalled by the working conditions of factory workers at his time.

That said, ol' Marx was not completely against capitalism. He did see that it had the capacity to rapidly industrialize a nation.

What he did point out though was inherent flaws in the system, flaws not just relevant to worker exploitation but also the whole engine of spending money to earning even more money. In that he perhaps noticed a hint of something that even present day mainstream economics has problem noticing, the feedback loops related to the flow of money and goods.

Notice that the article mentions in passing equilibria. That is a notion that is persistent within economics, even though it introduced more to make the math easier to work with back when it was done by hand and pencil.

these days all but economics have abandoned any notion of equilibrium, instead using computers to model complex systems and their feedbacks. Something that was spearheaded by meteorologists trying to improve weather prediction.

To go back to Marx, what he envisioned was more a transition from capitalist owned factories to worker owned factories. Coops essentially. Things like trading would still remain, as they provide vital means of signaling along the supply chains.

He did btw have some nasty things to say about finance capital, perhaps forewarning both the great depression and out present situation.

His great lament in that regard was that industrial capitalists were more likely to side with finance capital in any three way struggle between them and the workforce, when industrial capitalists would be better off in the long run to side with the workforce against finance.
The price is double that of the burger because the quality of the food is also a double that of a burger.

Personally I think they should institute a "small size" burrito, for a lower price. Moe's does this.

I'd imagine that end users who don't trust Google aren't using Google.

Users who care can see the URL and the domain for which the cert is signed. Most users do not care.

I don't see why I can't substitute "Google" and "Bing" for "Comcast" and "Verizon" in your example.

For that matter, at least in the U.S., it's a lot easier to switch out my search engine than my ISP if Comcast starts to muck with result content. FWIW, Verizon already redirects failures of domain name resolution to itself. I don't like it, and there's not much I can do about it if I want Internet around here.

> If Google takes advantage of their monopoly position and alters AMP content, nobody except the content providers will be the wiser.

That's a fair concern, but the day Google does that is the day a media firestorm blows AMP out of the water as a trustworthy tool.
