But how much of that is in response to slow load times, and optimizing viewing the results without waiting? If AMP is fast, then whatever portion of the reason to do this was caused by slow loading is significantly reduced.

Also, in regards to your up-thread comment, on mobile browsers I will sometimes use that technique because (but only because it can be slow to wait for multiple to load), but doing so is generally more cumbersome. Hold on link, select to open in new window. If I could just quickly visit each as needed, returning if it wasn't what I was looking for, I would much prefer that (as opposed to on desktop, which while I would like quicker loading, I do still occasionally want to open multiple tabs for results as you suggest). That is, I don't think this is a half-baked solution to a problem caused by making tabbed browsing hard, I think it's a solution that addresses some of the reasons we use tabs in the first place (specifically, to parallelize loading times for possibly slow sites).

It seems like it would be worth shopping with whoever has a "normal" CNC machine nearby, and seeing if you can get your stack of plywood machined for less for a given project. If you make a mistake with DIY, you're potentially out a sheet of plywood, not to mention time and effort.

Your project will involve plenty of time and effort at other stages than the plywood cutting bit.

Still, I'd consider getting one (perhaps on v2 after the Kickstarter has played out, and v1 gotchas figured out). It is cheap enough to get "just for fun."

We have detained people that we know are not and were not enemy combatants. Your assertion that we can detain enemy combatants is not without merit. The foundation of that claim is unsound, though, because we know we are detaining people who are not enemy combatants.

> So it's ok supporting Hillary even though she is largely responsible for huge parts of US foreign policy having sacrificed hundreds of thousands of innocent people as collateral damage for a bigger political goal.

Is this conspiracy theorizing or a serious statement? Either way it seems to seriously sacrifice your credibility and the spirit of the reality-based analysis your first comment invoked.

Let's take a reality-based approach to Libya, for example, often cited as Hillary's fault. In reality, it's hard to blame Hillary when the decision to engage in Libya was Obama's. In reality, it's hard to blame Obama when it was France and Great Britain that instigated the mission from the beginning and begged the US' help. In reality, it's hard to blame France and Great Britain when the simple, uncontroversial fact is that Gaddafi was a dictator/torturer/human-rights-abuser of epic proportions that had systematically destroyed political and civil institutions in his country guaranteeing a power vacuum when he was deposed. With this chain of responsibility in mind which likely equally applies to other foreign policy decisions, it's ridiculous to claim that Hillary is "largely responsible for sacrificing innocents". That's the kind of hyperbole that lacks any basis in reality.

>Russians conspiring to rig the election for Trump.

Well, that's your straw man. The evidence shows that Russian intelligence is meddling in the 2016 U.S. Election, and it's focused solely on attacking Trump's competition.

There's no publicly available evidence that shows collusion between Trump's campaign and Russia, other than Trump publicly calling for the Russians to hack Hillary's email accounts.

It's sentiments like this that still give Trump a serious shot at winning, even if more scandals about him are unveiled. I hate both but am voting for Clinton, but can very much understand your position.

Note that it's almost unheard-of for the sitting president not to run for a second term. (I certainly can't remember a case in my short life.) So either Trump or Clinton will almost certainly be on the ballot in 4 years.
> When's a cheap day to fly to and return from Las Vegas?

Hopper, an app on iOS, has exactly this. You give it a date, and then it gives you a month view with each day color-coded according to how expensive it will be to travel.

It also gives you recommendations about whether to buy a ticket now, or wait until prices go down.

I've bought tickets a few times through Hopper and it worked well. I have no business relationship with them at all--just a happy customer.
I'm really surprised, can't you buy half dozen eggs, 200 gr butter or 100 gr ham in an US supermarket?
They do. Try writing an arrow function into your browser's console right now.

If you go to a supermarket where they bake bread, and they have whole loafs of in-store baked bread, they'll often be happy to sell you a half-loaf. Just take it to the bakery counter and ask if you can buy half the loaf.
To take it a step further: Is it immoral to eat whole foods for all 3 meals a day?

Research has shown we get most of the nutrients we need from our first meal (of whole foods) each day. We only need calories from that point on. Shouldn't we then just try to get the most efficient form of calories, so long as those calories don't do harm? Leave the other 2 nutrient-rich meals for the rest of the world.

He frames it as "this is not what Americans want." But just because we can increasingly eat 3 nutrient-rich meals doesn't mean we should. In fact, it means the opposite -- that we should give those meals away because we can.

Both of them compare Trump to a dictator. Paul Graham compared him to Stalin. Both Altman and Graham believe, like I do, that Trump is an existential threat to our democracy.

If they truly believe Trump is "Literally Hitler" (as has been said about every Republican candidate since it could be said (Dewey), modulo I assume Eisenhower since it would be so ludicrous, and of course Stalin was far worse), then their behavior is indeed hard to explain.

Which suggests to me that they don't actually believe he's "an existential threat to our democracy" (cue Adam Smith's "There's a great deal of ruin in a nation" upon news of the defeat at Saratoga).

Or they're trimming their sails so they can still play a role in the possible coming Neo-Fourth Reich, i.e. they're cowards, doubly so since they're wealthy enough to relocate to some other 1st World country like Switzerland (last time I checked, which was long ago, some French cantons would allow you to sign a private tax treaty for 50,000 Swiss francs a year).

Although I suppose a counter to that accusation is that they're not about to abandon "their people" to the tender mercies of Stalin Mark II.

My advice, as a designated deplorable "irredeemable", if you're truly worried about this? Buy yourself a fricking rifle of military utility (a turn of the previous century clip fed bolt action rifle and modest supply of ammo is cheap, a few hundred bucks, and allowed pretty much everywhere except NYC) and learn how to shoot it well, don't bow your head as you're herded to the camps, follow this bit from Alexander Solzhenitsyn in The GULAG Archipelago (remember, we are, per Graham, talking "Literally Stalin", who was at the top when this happened):

And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?

Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?

After all, you knew ahead of time that those bluecaps were out at night for no good purpose. And you could be sure ahead of time that you’d be cracking the skull of a cutthroat. Or what about the Black Maria [Government limo] sitting out there on the street with one lonely chauffeur — what if it had been driven off or its tires spiked.

The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

"They", whichever you think is the they, can't take on a mass of people without using artillery or worse (see "Hama Rules"), and if things get that bad, well, you're already at war, you might as well be useful to your side.

It's essentially an artifact of the way that third-party dependencies are handled in the Google monorepo. If we had started this project from scratch on GitHub, rather than exporting it at a later date, we most likely would not have gone down this path.
As a driver, I'd also really rather that Cyclists had /dedicated/ lanes of travel, isolated from the roadway.

If they must be along the same pathway as motor vehicle streets a better design would be to have a physical barrier, like a shrubbery divider, between the traffic and the bike lane, and then a sidewalk.

However I'd actually much rather build mega-parking structures at the edges of the actual city, and add ceilings over the roadway (since the NorthWest US does get lots of rainy days); 'caves of steel' (with built in parks) should be the goal.
To reply to myself, yeah, Google Flights UI leaves a lot to be desired vs Hipmunk. The visualization of flights and layovers on Hipmunk is vastly better.

I like how prominent Google Flights makes the layovers in text form, but it's not visual, and you can't sort by agony.

These days I pretty much only fly nonstop or the shortest possible route if a layover is absolutely necessary. Looking at flights right now, the cheapest flight SFO-Frankfurt is 15h of travel and goes through Dallas (!!) vs 10h of travel for the nonstop. No-brainer, especially when you factor in getting on and off the planes, the risk of missed connections, etc.
Honestly, I don't think anyone can especially fault Soylent for scenario 3 in particular. It's not really much different from eating a yogurt or making a smoothie in the morning--or eating a trail bar of some sort mid-day. No one is accusing Cliff Bars of killing the leisurely lunch.

The bad press comes from the handful(?) of people who will tell anyone who will listen that their work is too important to do mundane things like cooking a meal.
Whats even more funny is that astronaut ice cream was never actually used by astronauts. It always has only been sold in the mentioned science stores. However I love the stuff, although I am probably not in my right mind. I have been skeptical of Soylent in the past, but if its like astronaut ice cream then sign me up!

it's cute watching you continually edit your posts. why do you think "it's fake" is the only logical conclusion to someone not stepping forward as the source of the leak from within the state dept?

“Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?” With no hesitation whatsoever, Franklin responded, “A republic, if you can keep it.” (Benjamin Franklin)

The only thing that separates us from other countries is our Constitution.

When you have the federal government doing things outside the Constitution that should be legally left to the states, you end up with some really polarizing things that are applied to the whole country. That gets nasty.

I'm a states right supporter in a left leaning state. Not saying the right doesn't do this either, but the left gets very emotional if you disagree. They try to shut you down, gang up, think you're a bad person or an idiot if you disagree. When I disagree, it's usually because it's a state issue that they want to ram down the whole country. They often have a complete disdain for the Constitution and have no idea what a republic is.

American politics have become radioactive. Intelligent people stay as far away from it as possible. Because getting involved and becoming visible can mean the end of you in more than one form.

We will never have a good government if good people fear the process and the media so much so that they move-on and devote their lives to more productive pursuits.

Imagine you are not perfect, decide to run for office and are subjected to the kind of media attacks we see escalate to lower lows every election? Who in their right mind wants a part of that?

To some degree one has to admire Trump for enduring the massive campaign against him. A lesser person would have imploded a long time ago. This isn't an endorsement as much as it is recognition of a fact.

What is happening in this election is despicable. The two main candidates are hardly the best this country can produce. And it is our fault. Entirely our fault. Not theirs.

My guess is it will have to get far worst before people wake up and realize we have been in an "emperor has no clothes" environment for decades.

This isn't about Democrats or Republicans. This is about a government taken over by some of the most despicable self-serving people around. Ambulance chasers who would not amount to much had they not gone into government.

Not sure how this will fix itself, if ever.

Eggs keep for months just fine.

When I was single I'd make family portion, eat 1/3, freeze the others. Bread freezes perfectly too. Other than that I shared your frustration of stores - buy a thing for £1, get three of them for £1.30. So choice of hugely overpay or risk waste. Milk prices are especially offensive under half gallon.
I am glad Trump has run, spoken and reached this point.

We each now know and can remember going forward, if we so choose, how all the people we assign respect to acted when it mattered.

Whether something can be inherited by your children is an intrinsic part of its value and the incentives of the producers.

Say you have an elderly novelist that is concerned for his wife's income after his death, and is pondering whether to finish and release a draft novel. If that copyright couldn't be inherited by his wife, his incentive would be to find some other money-making activity rather than finish the novel.

I also think that artistic works should have a finite time limit (rather than author's life + x), but I think on the order of about 40-50 years. OTOH, a patent term of 20 years seems to work really well.
Hmm. I haven't looked at RhodeCode. For me Kiln has provided a good UI and workflow and just worked ever since their v2.4 or so. I'm not sure there is a particular best feature, but roughly these features are what come to mind:

- Code review UI including comment pane with one level of sub-threading and easy click and drag linking to lines of code, small changeset selection pane, and large scrolling code pane are simple and work well. By contrast, I'm less sure about github and bitbucket pull requests UI.

- largefiles

- Single sign-on and linking with FogBugz (if we reference a FogBugz case in a commit message, then the commits show up in the case notes)

Nearly all of our bosses, owners, authorities vote and support in various ways, most you probably don't like. Thiel is a funder, how often have you worked for people/financing that had differing opinions? All the time...

The real problem is that the 2 party system has successfully divided us and put us on teams warring one another over silly things like politicians (and non issues like sex lives over real issues like healthcare, education, prosperity, opportunity, security -- not the war on terror kind, more like the bridges aren't going to fall kind).

Most of what we want are the same things, but we'll never get anywhere hating on each other based on our political team that is essentially the same party once in action. I wish we would go back to the old way of keeping your vote and opinion closer to your chest and surprising the two political parties so they actually need to court the vote again.

I can't wait til the election season is over, it is always a very harsh/rigid time in the US when they are on, people seeing others as lower who aren't in their own party. Disconnect from it and everyone be independent. Don't do work for politicians and blindly support anyone or any party, make them do work for us.

FINALLY. I have been waiting for this. Once they lock down all of the hardware ports they should take a hard look at the keyboard. Do users even need to be able to enter in text input or control their own computers? The evolution of the mac seems to confirm the persistent rumor apple is working on a tv. If they strip out virtually any ability for a user to interact with the device, it becomes a one-way broadcast medium, e.g. a TV. I know I can't wait, I just picked up $300.00 headphones that ensure I can listen to the apple certified audio for at least two hours at a time. what a time to be alive.

That just opens a pedantic conversation on what "forwards" is, which is mostly relative. A PM will think "forward" is faster development, an engineer might view "forward" as better best practices and better mean software quality. "Forwards" to Facebook is more ad impressions.

You might be able to argue that it's not unwanted, but you cannot claim it's not uninvited. By Trump's own statement he doesn't wait for an invitation. (Arguably, he also doesn't wait for any indication it's wanted, so if this is really his behavior he's undoubtedly done it to women who did not want it.)
