Is there any data that 'builder' type presidents are better than charismatic ones? In our hyper-media age you need charisma or you'll fail to effect change. This may or may not be a good thing as the change charismatic leaders want may or may not be ultimately good for the nation but it seems to be a necessary (but not solely sufficient) ingredient for greatness.
My state has cut rumble strips down the middle of many roads. The Amish are up early and travelling around on Sundays in buggies on the shoulders. It use to be easy to give them room; no traffic that early so you swing out across the line and keep away from the horse. Now if you do that you hit the rumble strip and the horse will panic; rear up and try to see what terrible thing is coming up from behind.
Yeah, personally I would be really upset if my fellow shareholders voted for a poor direction for the company. So, if the vision and direction of a company's leaders continue to do well for the company, I'd totally be on board investing. I wouldn't have to worry about the public eye being reactionary to any speed bumps.

> By this definition, Obama would be the useless yet charismatic CEO.

Useless, no, charismatic, yes. PG isn't saying that you can't be both powerful and charismatic - he's saying if you are to become powerful, you'd better be charismatic as well. His comment about them being the best person for the job is over the "schmoozers", who are charismatic but aren't building things.

I agree here. I don't think a clean dichotomy is being discussed. I think PG is just lamenting that charisma is necessary to hold power over other people.

I don't think that excuse holds much water; leaving your employer with their code is often theft on its own right, but to then implement it again while plausibly using the stolen code as a reference? Oof.
On the other hand, investor usually focus on short term return while founders may focus on long term vision (just my wild guess). Their objectives might not align

Possibly off-topic, but the article isn't displaying[0] for me on Chromium 55.0.2883.87 (64-bit), running on Arch Linux, unless I go in the dev tools and manually remove "Fira Sans" from the font-family list in .container[1]. Not sure whether the problem is with me or the site, I'm surprised it doesn't fall-back to sans-serif before I override manually.

On AMP page, clicking the X on the header box should load the HTML page. Instead it kicks you back to the search results. I think I would be okay if they fixed that one thing.
I wish the post offered an alternative.

Given that there are at least three similar specs, shouldn't there be a Light HTML5, or something that provides the same set of underlying guarantees?

tokyo has way better access to public transport than Paris.

And at half the density. The median neighborhood of the Toyko metro area is 150 while central Paris is 300 and outlying neighborhoods—not as well served by transit as Tokyo's—are over 200.

And better quality transport too.

That's largely a matter of serving Japanese passengers. In my experience, no one else matches the consistent care and respect that even young and rowdy Japanese people actively apply to public space.
All this tech, and no pictures of them anywhere in the article.
Donald Trump.

He is literally off the charts both. He builds very large, impressive buildings for a living.

He is enough of a charismatic individual that through force of personality won the presidency.
Overall, I think Valve is a good place to work, and I learned a lot from all of the incredibly smart people there. The main reason that I left was the difficulty in merging hardware development with the company's exceptionally successful business model. The hardware team was pressured to give away lots of IP that could have been licensed, with the explanation that hardware is just so worthless anyway compared to online software sales, there was no other choice. It's possible that this was a good faith gamble, however it still doesn't preclude the use of business contracts that would have protected our investment. It also isn't so great for morale to hear everyday that your years of work are going to be given away to another company, and then watch that company get acquired for $2B. This is especially the case since many employees strongly voiced concerns about just such a scenario.

Growth at Valve is a little funny. It's like an oil-rich nation. Gaining more citizens is not really desirable since the wealth will just get spread more thinly, and there is no way that new employees will be able to make more money than Steam already does with a very limited number of employees. I know the company is trying new things, and making honest investments in new areas, but it's hard to shake the bottom line.
These projections are for, essentially, a $400 billion market value company in eight years.

The $22 some odd billion in operating income they're projecting, would likely make them among the couple dozen most profitable companies in the world (at that point).

I'd be very concerned that they're forecasting what they think they have to hit to get to Mars, rather than what's realistic. Getting even ten million satellite subscribers at $60 or $70 per month in eight years, will be an amazing accomplishment. More likely, unfortunately, is that SpaceX achieves a fraction of these figures by 2025 and struggles to figure out how to afford the push to Mars (NASA co-funding is the likely solution). This goal reminds me of the 500,000 sales goal by Tesla that's due in 24 months (they'll miss that target by at least half). Maybe SpaceX Internet will get to 40 million eventually - it's certainly possible - it'll take a lot longer than eight or nine years however.

Absolutely. A lot of people seem to have almost a religious deference for free healthcare. I'm young, disease free so I've only minimal healthcare costs. Losing out >$100K/year on salary in exchange of free healthcare seems like a stupendously bad deal to me.
So the argument against AMP is someone's broken implementation and "security" of Google's CDN. Sounds like terrible arguments.

That said, Google should give option to opt-out from CDN caching (if they don't already) as otherwise implementing AMP gives Google the right to host your content on their domain.

well, the moon would likely only serve for research purposes until space faring society is a bit more established. The most likely "cash crop" for the moon would be serving as a drydock for spacecrafts. The low gravity would majorly reduce the cost and remove the size and profile constraints of said spacecrafts.
That's weird. I'll look into a fix.

My biggest problem is simply being unable to open up an amp link in a new tab. Often in Google News for example I prefer to open up several tabs and read through them at my leisure. But with AMP this became impossible - though I'm unclear if this is simply a limitation of the implementation.

Even if what you said was true, what would be the point of a strong economy if people cannot have healthcare? I'd rather have a less strong economy and better health for everyone.

Not surprisingly, it helps the economy: people dont lose their savings, jobs and houses when they get sick in Europe.
I think you got it backwards... right now non-tech-savvy people focus on the content with their tooling (PowerPoint, Keynote, Google Slides). Your tooling introduces a new layer of complexity: now they have to learn HTML and css to do the _exact same thing_. What you built looks great, but you have to reconsider who you're marketing it towards. I can't imagine anybody but a programmer using this.

If your goal is to build a platform for presentations like medium is for articles, isn't that what speakerdeck.com already is? If you want to build a better speakerdeck, just say that then? "A better way to create and share slides online"

To be perfectly honest, the only group of people I am envious of are the Amish.

Can you give an example of how to view reddit via AMP? If I just search for "reddit" on my Android phone for example, there are no AMP links to reddit, only Business Insider etc.
I was just thinking about Snap the other day.

Social media platforms seem to be pretty fickle. Of course there are a couple of behemoths such as FB who don't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon, but how does a company like Snap create a moat around their business or keep it defensible long-term?

Please don't take my question to mean that I don't see the product/company as compelling. I don't personally use Snap (when I did a little bit, I enjoyed it), but I guess I just don't understand how to valuate a company like this. Is it mostly branding wherein, somehow someway, they've managed to completely own a certain demographic (here it seems 25 year-olds and under) and they are, therefore, seen as a new medium/platform where brands will be putting a lot of their ad spend?

Forgive the rant, just wondering how people think about this.

> What would you expect from a society dealings with disabled (nothing bad) ?

What do I expect, or what do I hope? I expect that people assume that because they hospital visit for a broken leg is "free" and "good", that it carries over to autistic support, and that any suggestion otherwise is absurd and alarmist. This is usually the case.

I'd hope that they take the concerns from parents seriously and not be dismissive, even if it means they have to admit there are flaws in the system.
I'm glad AMP's weaknesses are finally gaining attention and making their rounds. Google should not be allowed to steal publishers' traffic and strong-arm them into going along with it.
Most of the CS students don't like math, so CS teaching has developed a tradition of only the minimal need-to-know math exposure. But then you have to always operate at the very edge of your math competence, because that is all you were taught. If you have a solid math foundation, then most of the math concepts you face in CS are well within your comfort zone.
$200K would be a high salary, meaning a fixed cash payment someone receives on a periodic basis (with $200K being the yearly sum). However, as the value of total compensation, meaning cash salary plus stock plans, retirement plans, the value of healthcare insurance, expected bonuses, etc., then yes I agree it's pretty normal. Indeed, the starting total compensation of college graduates at top tech companies like AmaGooBookSoft is apparently around $175K (see web search results for "What is the salary for graduates starting at <company X>?").

One Quora article claims that the average compensation of tech employees at these companies is above $200K. This is partly why areas that employ many tech workers are facing housing price crises: after covering their costs of living, the surplus compensation often goes into housing. Since housing is seen as "safe" and as a form of investment, it can soak up considerable amounts of surplus income, and since there's only so much of it in a given area, the competition for housing is intense.

> With an American tech salary of $200k/yr, I can pay for all of that (health insurance

Even if you can pay for it, doesn't mean you can get it. Pre-ACA, I knew people who had the levels of income you're talking about (and higher) who couldn't buy health insurance on their own at any price.

Some of them could get insurance through employer groups, assuming they didn't want to retire, assuming a given employer wanted to hire them, and assuming a given employer wanted them in a given risk pool. What they couldn't do was buy insurance on the individual market.

We're apparently about to return to those days.

I'm also not anxious to take giant salary cuts, but there are times as I get older that the logic of establishing a floor even if it means lowering the ceiling seems to make more sense.

Yes, I'm quite sure. This is based on my personal life. The trick is to do your saving it tax-advantage accounts and to take any deductions you can.

I've often thought that while we say we would want peaceful relationships with any aliens we might find, our history of interactions with "alien" life forms on Earth paints a different picture. I'm pretty sure if we meet alien life and it's not stronger than us, somebody's going to try to eat it.

I would much rather see the entrepreneurs execute on the company's mission rather than let short term Wall Street hedge fund managers and bankers dictate the company's direction. Facebook has done incredibly well by having Mark on the lead without too much external influence. Given how visionary company Snap is, I think this will be the best for them.

I don't get it.

I'm studying physics because I want to help shed light on the mysteries of reality.

It might be hard to get a job in physics and achieve that, but it's a hell of a lot harder to get in a job in software development and achieve that.

Despite this, all I'm reading is optimism about how well-paying and interesting software development is for physicists. So what? If those were my primary concerns, I wouldn't have studied physics in the first place!

I get the hidden impression that the meaningfulness of science -- pursuing the truth, the nature of the universe -- is being swept under the rug because it's no longer paying the bills. That's a goddamn tragedy, not the cause for celebration this article is making it out to be.
So true. President Drumpf is this tragedy come to life.
I'd say $200k is very typical (if not on the low end) of salary + stock for big companies. Not including other things like insurance or retirement plans which are hard to attach a quantifiable dollar amount to.

In terms of straight dollars, you can easily earn $200k+/yr doing contracting.

From how I understood it, he didn't necessarily copy the code to his personal hard drive, only the emails.

> "he rewrote the technology ... from scratch"

It's a lot tougher to argue that there is a misappropriation of IP if it's a clean room implementation. Code IS the intellectual property here (often, this is even explicitly stated in the standard PIIA agreement).

Now, Zenimax's only recourse is possible trade secret misappropriation, which is much harder to establish in court, given the lack of tangible evidence in the form of copied code.

That said, the State of California is particularly protective of workers' rights in this latter scenario, non-compete agreements are actually banned here.

Donald Trump is both a powerful builder and very charismatic. He builds buildings and has loads of charisma.

The dichotomy between Trump and Hillary is false in this case on dimensions other than simply having charisma.

Trump had more charisma than Hillary as well as the 16 or whatever ridiculous number of GOP candidates there were at one point.

Bernie Sanders was the only candidate in this cycle with a similar level of charisma and Democrats did the thing that the GOP did the previous 2 elections - and it cost them.

One thing I love about AMP, that seems to never be mentioned when people discuss it, is viewing AMP-HTML pages on my laptop.

I make my own amp pages by keeping JavaScript turned off on my phone. 95℅ of pages work and load instantly. Those that don't, I turn on JavaScript. If I go to those pages a lot I add them to my exception list. Sorry but I'm not an amp believer.
The use-case for proving integrity is different from the use-case for proving both integrity and identity, thus the UI should be different as well.
But the people who designed the page in the first place should be able to make it just as fast without using AMP.
