I take it back. I had to check what my last Chinese phone was. It was a Letv 1s running EUI. I thought it was MIUI.

I found the software a bit frustrating but I can tell you the build quality was the best I've experienced in a phone. Mind you, all my phones have been sub £200.
TPP included some things that were just flat out bad, like the "Investor State Dispute System" (a.k.a. Corporate Sovereignty) and exporting the USA's draconian "Intellectual Property" regime as one of those corporate norms. Both of those things make ordinary citizen's lives worse, at least in the very short term, and almost certainly in the longer term.

The TPP seemed to be more about free flow of capital, rather than free trade as such. Free trade is probably a good thing, but the TPP didn't include free movement of labor, which is certainly a good part of free trade.

The TPP was more "Globalism for me, but not for thee" from the multinationals.
“I typically ask people, ‘So you’re worried about the pitchforks. How much money have you donated to your local homeless shelter?’ This connects the most, in my mind, to the realities of the income gap. All the other forms of fear that people bring up are artificial.”

I like Max Levchins idea behind this statement. The underlying anxiety shown by a lot of the characters interviewed in this article display a real human dis-connect. There is nothing in the US (and other countries for that matter) that cannot be fixed with hard work, a bit of luck and investment in the right things. Maybe that is the real eye-opener. One of the things I have observed, in crisis the way individuals act, reflects their mental state.

"The growing foreign appetite for New Zealand property has generated a backlash. The Campaign Against Foreign Control of Aotearoa—the Maori name for New Zealand—opposes sales to foreigners."

NZ, a colonised country with a treaty, has all the same problems the US has in terms of inequity. Way more tribal and dangerous than the tourist brochures suggest.

When i got a Nexus One way back when, it had a news app that preloaded the news with 4-8 paragraphs of plain text and a single photograph. It was great, I could catch up on the news while I was standing in a checkout line or similar short time-wasting situation. AMP gets somewhat back towards that, but it's still slow and unresponsive by comparison.

Google doesn't get news. The people who work on google News clearly don't consume it, barring the unlikely possibility that they're masochists who enjoy making everyday tools work more and more poorly.
I remember hearing about this. Seems like an interesting way to prevent traffic fines from becoming a regressive tax. And obviously it points out one of the many ways in which my comment oversimplifies the criminal justice system :-)

In this case the "profit" part of my equation would change based on individual circumstances.

The "profit" of speeding to your finance job where you make $500/hour is much higher than that of speeding to your minimum wage job at McDonalds.

I think that's why we punish serious crimes with time in prison, not fines.

I think dismissing it as "political theater" simplifies the cause and effect, and the legislative process. Congress was controlled by Republicans in Obama's last term, but the popular belief was that not only would Clinton win in a dominating fashion, but the effects of her dominance would propagate downballot and win the Senate for Democrats, and at least make the House much closer. If that had happened, TPP would seem pretty likely to pass Congress in some form or other. At the very least, there would be more negotiations. Negotiations began back in 2008; Congressional reluctance was unlikely to kill TPP. Trump outright abandoning the plan will kill it more decisively.

I've never used Western Union, but if you want to send money across the world quickly, I'm not sure of a better way to get it done. Transferring a thousand dollars from my bank account to the bank account of a relative would likely take at least a couple of days. Just transferring from my online bank to my local credit union takes a couple of days.

(Plus as others have noted, not everyone has a bank account.)

If you've never read any of the Rama sequels written by Gentry Lee, now is a really good time not to.

The first one has a few nice bits (but so, so few), but they're so bad, and so badly written, and so undermine the magic and majesty of the first book, and the final revelation when we discover who actually built the Rama spacecraft is so hackneyed and underwhelming[1], that they're some of the only books I have genuinely regretted reading.

Sometimes the daily action can create its own context of progress.

Daily action: Work on my graphic novel, mostly by drawing, intermittently by sitting down and planning out the next dozen or so pages. Don't beat myself up if other stuff gets in the way now and then, either, just shrug and get back to it the next day.

Context that shows progress: A finished page, up on my website. A finished chapter on my site. A finished book, in my hands after a Kickstarter. Three finished books and a delightfully oversized omnibus on my shelves after their own various Kickstarters, and a Patreon page that occasionally pays my rent.

I sure as hell learnt a lot along the way, too. Drawing the individual panels was easy, I already knew how to draw. But dealing with a five year project? Self-publishing? That, I had to learn.
It got annoying enough for me to switch my search to bing.com everywhere, including Google's own browser. My two main complaints: 1.

The picture of an IBM 7074 is from Wikipedia.

IBM offered 7074 emulation as a standard IBM System/360 product.[1] On an S/360, it required some special hardware support. In 1972, IBM gave users a free IBM 7074 emulator, software only, for System/370 machines.[2] They may still be running that program on a Z-series mainframe.

Pretty sure they did. Sorry, but if you're going to be the one responsible for keeping a website online, you have at least some responsibility to keep an eye on tech news just to see if there are any major security breaches or changes in how the web will work coming up. If you don't have time to do this, you really ought to take the site down and move the functionality to some other type of hosting where somebody else takes care of this for you. Otherwise, you may find your site hacked and running a spam server or serving kiddie porn or something one day.

That's ... just wow. I guess I'm totally out of touch.
As someone that dislikes viewing desktop sites on mobile devices I have no problems with AMP. It would seem the majority of people that have issues with it have to do with Google caching the content. If you don't like Google caching AMP content then host your own caching. It's free open source software.
Subtle product placement ("we need a product here anyway, do you want it to be yours or your competitors") seems completely fine to me. If the script calls for them to drive a car or drink a soda, and nothing in the plot depends on the details, then why not?

As for "native advertisements": it really depends on genuineness, and disclosure.

"The only shortcut I could find which is totally unethical and lame is that of being a fraud."

So all other shortcuts are ethical, not lame, or ethical and not lame. Got it. Perhaps, though, the author takes shortcuts to punctuation and grammar. Perhaps the author meant "The only shortcut I could find, which is totally unethical and lame, is that of being a fraud." which carries an entirely different meaning in written English.
Similar to Medium, AMP encourages fast page loads and no interstitials, pop-ups or other cancer that seems to infest the average site these days.

Yes, it may be possible to fix it over time. But I see AMP and Medium as clean, lightweight platforms that developers/marketers want to emulate and users will start to demand.

From a user experience, you definitely can't beat the speed of AMP delivered content. So it's a high bar to beat. But if it forces content providers to up their game, I see it as a good thing.

I guess the scary point, that hasn't explicitly been mentioned, is what happens when a good portion (maybe not a majority) of content is AMP-enabled. Is it something we transition away from, or is it here to stay? Will non-AMP, but fast pages be second-class citizens in the new AMP-era?
I don't think that Uber is any better than Lyft. So many of these drivers work for both. I have no data to back this up but I believe the cause is shared rides such as Uber Pool and Lyft Line. The low-revenue/high-volume nature seems to encourage these drivers to drive as fast and as long as possible. I don't remember seeing bad driving so much, back before these shared services.

Hangouts does, but it's impossible to know if we're "supposed" to be using Hangouts. A year or so ago I received a pop-up in my Hangouts app that Google recommended I check out Messenger [0]. It also seems to be the currently recommended option [1] although I don't know why since, as you say, Hangouts can handle all those scenarios.

This has understandably led to no end of confusion among Fi/Voice users, including myself. [2][3][4][5]

Interesting. It's clear to me.

It looks a lot people who had some confusion with the scope of x in something like ...

f(x) = x^2 + 1

would also have problems quickly seeing the scope of x in lambdas that are present in a bunch of modern programing languages like python.

f = lambda x: x^2 + 1

It seems python lambdas also don't support type hinting like you mention was a problem in Fortran, too.
I'd image they've done that because they want to get on the news carousel,and only AMP sites appear in that. They're basically being forced to use it.

It's difficult to "know" the source is suspicious when a fraud hotspot also receives $35 billion a year in remittance income from the same countries targeted by the fraud, and supplying a means for people to send income earned working in Western countries to various unbanked relatives and their creditors in small African towns is Western Union's raison d'etre. That doesn't mean they can't be more helpful in dealing with fraud and that no agent has ever suspected anything of any of their more regular customers, but sending a few hundred dollars to a Nigerian is a standard legitimate use case for Western Union.

I'm sure there are many historians who would jump at the chance to go back in time and observe ancient bronze casting first-hand.

In fact, it seems like almost every period of human history has at least 1 historian who has devoted their life to studying it. So I think there would be at least some people in the future who would be interested in our present time period.
When it comes to fraud, no Nigerian past, present or cumulative can match American Robert Allen Stanford talk less, Bernie Madoff.

It's par-for-the-course to "brew install" random stuff on a dev box. You lose a lot when you ditch distro-packaged Python and start relying on varying third-party schemes to drop something that may-or-may not be getting security updates and may-or-may-not have been compiled against the same libraries as the ones on your production system.
The other problem with amp is that it's really hard to share an artical.

I was reading one on google news and I wanted to share it with you guys but I couldn't figure out how to get a URL for the story.
At work, we just figured out a weird problem and resolved it quickly, because five of us are sitting side by side and we could quickly discuss it. Meanwhile, the two remote people are still somewhat confused, and I'm trying to explain it in chat - and likely by the time I'm done explaining the problem, a commit will be added to a pull request to fix it.

Granted, I'm probably not the best communicator, but being on location can speed things up a lot.

But that's also not about trust.

a) if it was really running on the old hardware; in that case ruby on a modern machine would have been several magnitudes faster than the original code - at least because of the faster IO

b) if the whole thing was indeed running in an emulator, the emulation overhead would have negated all direct memory access advantages
I 100% buy they're using 1960s hardware. I've talked to some people who had to spend half their day on ebay trawling for parts to keep their ancient systems running. I've personally worked with medical offices still using 1970s hardware, it's not that rare. Many places have an "if it ain't broke don't fix it" attitude.
Do we really need Instant Articles (Facebook) and AMP (Google) when we can accomplish fast loading pages with plain, uncomplicated HTML and CSS?

I feel that many web developers don't realise that simple HTML and CSS is often all you need to make clear, fast loading pages. No complicated tricks or techniques required. You can make the page reasonably pleasant in appearance too.

Think of the sites you often visit: news stories, blogs, magazine-style sites, discussion sites. These are mostly text, not web apps.

I hope I'm not hijacking this thread, but I'd like to ask if readers find the web page links below fast to load on their mobile phones? They don't use AMP.

I created the pages below as a test because I was (and still am) frustrated by the slow page-loading speeds when using my phone with a 3G connection.

The page links below represent a common article/blog/report style of page. There's about 2500+ words on the page.

The page content is CC licensed but the pictures from the original synopsis are not included despite the references in the text (since this was just a test)

So is it fast?

Version A: http://interfacesketch.com/test/energy-book-synopsis-a.html

I've never had a problem with mixed Android/iOS group messages and media with iMessage. I've made no special effort to get it to work. It's seamless. Am I doing something wrong? Or right, rather?

Now, back when I used Android I remember Hangouts ruining everything it touched and I had to switch back to the deprecated Messages app (which was completely fine and did not need replacing) to fix it. Maybe the problem with the Android users on these group texts isn't on the iMessage side....
