Ugh, why does nobody ever point out that AMP and Google displaying AMP are 2 different things? Yes, Google is a huge sponsor in the AMP world but they aren't the only ones involved.

AMP itself isn't so bad- asynchronous Javascript (not no script as the article suggests) and it is still valid HTML- it just has extra properties on tags (just how Angular does).

I still like XMPP. Matrix definately has something going for them but I like XMPP for its simplicity.

The article quotes ~$8,000 for a new buggy, plus a horse which although they produce themselves has to be fed and cared for. That to me sounds in the ballpark of the cost of owning a decent used car.
Looks very good! Nice job :)

The one thing I see myself missing off the bad from wiki proper is section collapsing. Would be a welcome addition.

Good luck!
Their eyes can do a lot of fascinating things, but high detail density is not one of them. It is probably not a coincidence that compound eyes only show up in severely brain-size-constrained animals.
Wikiwand is a similar project [1], although more polished.

Is it unsolicited when you post your issue on a public medium for all the world to see? I consider any such public announcement a direct request for the target's response and an indirect request for the public's response.
I don't trust Signal. I feel better with XMPP. Relying on one central server is bad (unless you can run your own). That's why federation in XMPP is good. Spreads out the change of anti-privacy issues in terms of just using normal encryption.
The 311 app (https://sf311.org/mobile) is really useful to report hazardous things (e.g: needles).

They were one and the same. AMP looked more profitable, so PageSpeed Service was deprecated. Only the documentation remains.
I would imagine they could manufacture incandescents if they so chose. Glassblowing seems like something they'd be OK with. And otherwise it's just a bit of wire and a vacuum.
Yes and the problem is Facebook.

It also sounds very much like XMPP.
For me, the most eye opening connection to humanity:

> Through our investigation of /b/, we hope to contribute to scholarly conversations about data permanence. For example, Grudin (2002) suggests that we evolved to live in an ephemeral world, yet our technology takes us from the “here and now” to the “everywhere and forever.” Similarly, Mayer-Schonberger (2009) emphasizes the value of “societal forgetting,” where “the limits of human memory ensure that people’s sins are eventually forgotten.”

As a long time 4channer, there's some "naturalness" I feel in the off-the-cuff discussions on the site where I know my stupidity won't be saved forever. The ephemerality taps into FOMO, requiring that you be there for a thread event that is unfolding, and that is addicting to some.
If that's what they meant, I'm still confused. Chrome has never displayed a certificate name in the address bar for DV certificates -- the "Secure" text for DV certificates is completely new; older versions just displayed a lock icon there.

Most things use Message Archive Management these days: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0313.html

It's still experimental, but it should replace message archiving "soon" once a few final kinks have been worked out (that being said, most servers and clients implement it already and in my mind it's ready for production).
"No, I'm not saying that if we explored space, world wars wouldn't happen."

One actually could argue such. Being able to permanently and self-sustainably inhabit space means being able to reduce the strain on Earth's own resources, thus reducing the need to compete for said resources (said need being a major contributor to plenty of wars, both current and historical).

It's a stretch, sure, but it's still an argument one could make.

No one in America seems to understand how close they are to financial ruin from surprisingly common stuff. My wife has lingering complications from the birth of our last child. My statement of benefits from the insurance company for 2016 shows that they paid $97,000 for her this year, and this was at least the third year in a row at that level. Fortunately, I already had pretty good insurance when this whole mess started for us, and we aren't really at risk of losing it. But I can tell you that it is a significant factor any time I consider changing jobs.

> smart meters

> analytics

The smart grid requires a lot of General Purpose Computers gather that data. However, this risk has already been considered. From the link in my previous [1] (sec 7):

... privacy [is defined as]: the effective capacity
to misrepresent yourself.

Misrepresentation is using disinformation to frustrate
data fusion on the part of whomever it is that is
watching you. ... Misrepresentation means putting
a motor-generator between you and the Smart Grid. ...

If smart meter monitoring becomes commonplace, there are solutions that can be deployed. In case of a pedantic reading of that quote, I'm sure Dan Geer was merely listing examples. Further isolation from the grid should probably include some amount of local energy storage to smooth out the usage rates in addition to electrical isolation.

In any case, as others have pointed out, the War isn't about centralization. The War is about the inability to turn a Turing complete system (the General Purpose Computer inside everything) into an appliance that doesn't run some programs. The universal nature of the computer puts a lot of power in the hands of the people, which scares some people and undermines many business models.

Thus there is a desire (possibly indirect) to wage war on this new threat by limiting how many General Purpose Computers end up in the end user's control and hobbling the rest with spyware/drm. If everyone has dumb terminals and "appliances" that only run authorized software, the threat of people actually using the power inherent in every General Purpose Computer is neutralized.

This war is ongoing right now, with small battles happening in every "appliance" or "service" that pretends a Turing complete computer is an appliance. The war is far from over, but we are losing a little bit more every time some piece of technology is centralized.
It really depends on the job. If your priorities are of a political nature, then that's a reasonable expectation.

If you're hiring me for an engineering position and you can't handle some harmless swearing, then you're really not sharing in my engineering priorities. Here it's just pointless culture policing and power playing.

This is very interesting for me to think about. Perhaps someone smarter can explain what this means and answer some questions.

A. On Google finance [1,2], it shows that both GOOG and GOOGL have a market cap of $565B. There is a difference in share price, but also a difference in the number of shares outstanding. Is this correct or a google finance mistake / confusing point?

B. Assuming the discount for the non-voting shares is as you mentioned it, does this mean that shareholders value their vote for google at ~2.5x their vote for Zillow?

C. At 2.8% of Google's market cap, that would mean Google's shareholders value voting rights for google at $15B - a huge amount. What votes does the market see that's worth $15B?

D. It's an often stated point that the stock market and Wall Street focus on short term earnings, at the expense of long term results - and that the management would be more successful in the long term if they didn't have pressure from Wall Street. Does the discount for non-voting shares help determine if this point is true or not?

I recently build a dictionary based on WordNet and decided to AMP all the pages. I didn't have any issues and honestly it was fairly straightforward. (http://www.wordcadet.com)

Again I'm not doing anything fancy, I don't handle any user data (JS breach at google is least of my concern) or have any concern regarding where Google might take AMP.

I personally like the idea behind AMP. With all these over the top JS libraries and bloating web applications, a restrict markup that enforces speed over spectacle is a positive change.

The work on VR at Valve was the most stressful point of my career, and I wanted a change (ie not to work on VR anymore). When I left, it was unclear if Valve was going to ditch the whole VR thing. They probably would have done so if HTC hadn't gotten a demo of our amazing tech. My new job at Verily (Google Life Sciences) offered better pay, lower stress, and far more job satisfaction, so it ended up being a good move.
It has nothing to do with self control. It is a matter of culture. Right now, I am not swearing at all. But in other contexts, I swear easily. Because swearing has different value in different contexts. Here, it doesn't add much.

And when I do swear, it's not for lack of self control. It's because I'm making a stand about what my priorities are. Which are usually that the subject of the discussion is far more important than the manner in which it is discussed or the personal, fleeting discomfort of any bystanders or participants.

>As a long time 4channer, there's some "naturalness" I feel in the off-the-cuff discussions on the site where I know my stupidity won't be saved forever.

Not sure how true that is anymore these days, with the existence of so many third-party 4chan archive websites. Although your stupidity probably still won't be easily linked to your identity, so there's that.
AMP is cancer. I go to a search engine to find content, not your URL-obscuring crappy implementation that I can't even readily share without opening up the URL and dissecting what I originally wanted from it. It's 2017, my phone has a decent quad core and 1080p screen... I don't need your gimped "mobile" version and I don't want you locking me into your platform every time I try and make a search.

It's absolutely baffling how anyone at google thought this was a good idea. I mean really, how do you mess something so simple up this bad?

The user experience is terrible, the implementation is terrible, the fundamental technical idea is terrible... it's gotta go back.
Sounds like Valve lacks direction.

Amen brother. After having a child, I threw all plans out the window.
I think the real issue here is that too many people conflate XMPP the protocol with the various XMPP based services (most of the smaller free public services do this). If we tell people to "go sign up for an XMPP account" it's obviously going to be too complicated; they're going to search, find the XSF websites or a bunch of random libraries and protocol information, and give up. Meanwhile, companies can use XMPP and build their own brand around chat products based on it (while never mentioning it, because their users don't care) and regardless of whether they choose to federate or not they can reap the benefits of a community of protocol developers, the plethora of libraries, and maybe even existing client and server code.
Hey thanks for the link, that jpeg example is really quite cool.

One of the things that I gained from the book was a bit better "feel" for getting the right granularity/modularity in order to facilitate evolvability (as in the chunks I might want to swap out for another implementation, while leaving others in place), as a separate concern from maintainability.

BTW, I've noticed is that the "order blindly emerging from chaos" theme keeps popping up in fiction by writers like Bruce Sterling, Cory Doctorow, and Charles Stross (all favorites of mine).
I agree with this site about it: https://www.spamhaus.org/consumer/definition/

The key here would be unsolicited (yes) and bulk (possibly no). It is impossible to tell based on the blog post, but I find it less likely that there was a bot designed to find customers after a rival outage than a human doing it. If there was a bot however, that would be spam.

I think many people on here would agree that it is annoying and would probably be ignored or marked as spam, but I don't think it is spam.

It is definitely spam in other countries, though, where the criteria is unsolicited.
I saw either yours or a similar comment somewhere else on this topic, so I tried it again. It worked on mobile and desktop. Maybe there's something else going on for you like a browser extension that anonymizes your clicks through SERPs? (If there is such a thing) Maybe one that deletes your Referer: header.

Accepting that folks you don't know might not share your values, and adjusting accordingly isn't "political".

It's basic respect and professionalism.

Now, from your perspective, you might think you're just testing the employer. That is, if they'll put up with your swearing in the interview, then it might be a better value fit. And that may be true.

I'm simply suggesting that you may end up disqualified for positions where you might otherwise fit, not because swearing itself is deemed inappropriate, but because, in that specific setting, to the interviewer it suggests poor judgement.
I would say that ultimately the Segway was a failure, but that perception is partially affected by the hyperbolic hype that preceded it. I wonder what its own inventors think.

How popular did they expect it to get? How did they expect people to use it? How did they not foresee the backlash to its incredible dorkiness? Would a smaller, handle-less form factor (like the Chinese clones now known as "hoverboards") have been possible with the battery technology of the time?
> blown away by the good UI

I can only imagine an engineer could see it this way. I found it rather confusing. I tried joining #debian and I kept getting "invitation" messages from some IRC bridge.
If anyone else is surprised by that claim, turns out it's not quite true (in a blurry way):

[The variety between eye types] has led to the dogma that eyes have evolved in all animal phyla 40 to 60 times independently (Salvini-Plawen and Mayr 1961). However, recent genetic experiments cast serious doubts on this notion and argue strongly in favor of a monophyletic origin of the various eye types followed by divergent, parallel, and convergent evolution.

https://academic.oup.com/jhered/article/96/3/171/2187545/New...

Even at a wider structural level, there is enough common ancestry to put a serious damper on the idea that it evolved independently 20 times. It's more like a single origin for major photosensitive proteins, and one origin per major eye type.

That's not to say it never happens, notably, there's a behavioral trait in ants (seed dispersal) that appears to have evolved independently at least 100 times. Sometimes everything is set up to favor convergent evolution with dozens or more independent occurrences, but that probably wasn't the case with the eye.

It's from the era before which Google defaulted to TLS. Nowadays, the only known difference relates to clicking of links. Here's the info from SE[0]:

>1. Clicking on an ad:

> - https://google.com : Google will take you to an HTTP redirection page where they'd append your search query to the referrer information.

> - https://encrypted.google.com : If the advertiser uses HTTP, Google will not let the advertiser know about your query. If the advertiser uses HTTPS, they will receive the referrer information normally (including your search query).

>2. Clicking on a normal search result:

> - https://google.com : If the website uses HTTP, Google will take you to an HTTP redirection page and will not append your search query to the referrer information. They'll only tell the website that you're coming from Google. If it uses HTTPS, it will receive referrer information normally.

> - https://encrypted.google.com : If the website you click in the results uses HTTP, it will have no idea where you're coming from or what your search query is. If it uses HTTPS, it will receive referrer information normally.

Actually, companies that don't hire will still pay the higher taxes. This plan would cause larger companies to benefit more than smaller ones.

That's interesting; what Android apps do you like the UI of, out of curiosity? Conversations basically follows the Android design guidelines to the letter, so I'm curious if it's all Android apps or just something about Conversations. The only problem I ever have with the UI is the unreadably small font size (but at least there's a setting for that).
People who care more about convenience than freedom and privacy can and do use Skype, iMessage, and Snapchat. If you give up freedom and privacy to make a more convenient client, you're not improving the freedom and privacy situation, you're just making more of the miserable proprietary software that we're trying to get away from.

If it's not free software, you have neither freedom nor privacy. If it's not decentralized or federated, you have neither freedom nor privacy. The only contenders for freedom and privacy are XMPP and Matrix. All the others are contenders for money and popularity, but not for freedom and privacy.

Popularity and money are useful and not inherently incompatible with freedom and privacy, but they are secondary. Creating a new application that is not federated or decentralized does not help, no matter how much more popular or convenient it is.

Actually, XMPP has a solution for that for a year now [0]. The principal idea is that a client developer runs a push proxy component that forwards XMPP push events to GCM / APNS / whatever. The client tells its server which push component should be contacted and disconnects.
