Yes, this is the big downside.

My 'SLA' for facebook messages is about 24 hours, and people who send me things there learn that over time. I generally just tell them why I don't see their messages right away.

In general, I make a point of not being too responsive with any online/async notification systems, except for SMS. It's one way I keep myself from being so scattered.
As someone who has worked remotely a great deal, this claim is generally true. A team is either remote-first, or full-time remote employees won't work well.

Notice that I said team. You can still have a remote team inside of a mostly office-going company and it ends up being similar to a satellite office for a regular company.

Eg Google has many satellite offices, so they could arguably have "remote" be one of those "offices". I don't see this ever actually happening, but they could do it if they make sure that team is remote-first.

Yeah, even if it's just for researchers, I interpreted that as "free to search", but not that the platform or data (citation graph w/ metadata) would be open source.
I can assemble ideas and communicate them just fine, but yes I also often brainstorm half-formed ideas with teammates. This is intentional, not a accident or because I can't think for myself.

It's a process that I (and others) find leads to better ideas quicker. Why waste time fully fleshing out an idea alone and only afterwards present it to others who might instantly see some flaw you overlooked that they could have pointed out at the beginning? It's perfectly fine if I throw something at you and you have no idea what I mean, and even better if you rephrase it to clarify what I meant because you probably just clarified it for me as well.

I have a feeling your response might be that I'm wasting people's time like that but I disagree. In person I can see what another person is doing before I engage them, so I obviously am not going to bother them if they are busy or focused on something else. I can always bring it up later at lunch or just whenever I notice they have a second.

Maybe that makes it more clear why this does not translate well remotely. It's tough to translate half an idea into text, and while that forces me to make it into a full idea first it's also slower. Remotely it's also impossible for me to know what they are doing before I engage them, so I would start breaking their concentration and wasting their time.

For me that extremely lightweight and casual brainstorming is one of the most important parts of having a team to work with.

Ok, so the solution is to create a standard subset of elements and create an open tool to test your site against the standard. If your page meets the requirements it gets the pagerank boost. If it doesn't meet the requirements somewhere then it points out what you need to change. No need for AMP.

Why wouldn't this work?

"Given the absurd volume of coffee that they were selling even back then, which was brewed at identical temperatures, and did not result in any injury (on the orders of multiple millions of cups per day), I chalk this one up to 100% user error, judge be damned."

Nope. From wikipedia, citing the WSJ:

"Other documents obtained from McDonald's showed that from 1982 to 1992 the company had received more than 700 reports of people burned by McDonald's coffee to varying degrees of severity, and had settled claims arising from scalding injuries for more than $500,000."

I don't function very well in the morning, regardless of how much sleep I get. I've experimented with all kinds of sleep schedules and durations. I've tried taking vitamins, melatonin, exercising before bed. I've tried using flux and not drinking coffee the day before or at all.

Non of this worked to make me funciton more in the morning. However, I can usually function very well at night, even if I'm tired. Even if I got little sleep.

The problem is, if I get up early and try to function, then I won't be able to funciton later either.

I do get up early and work a "morning persion" schedule, but its important to note that my employers rarely get my best work with this schedule.

In Apple's case, I don't think a lack of common sense is the problem. With the iPhone making the bulk to Apple's revenue, this is a textbook example of a "strategy tax" [0], and the thing about strategy taxes is they're really hard to overcome even when you can see the issue staring you dead in the face. It takes very uncommon leadership to hobble your cash cow.

I think this comes back to the old expression that The dose makes the poison (or: "All things are poison and nothing is without poison; only the dose makes a thing not a poison").

So, the idea that vaporizing a small amount of nicotine daily may be beneficial for certain conditions, does not contradict the idea that sucking down 20-30 unfiltered cigarettes a day is probably a net harm in all cases.

Science understands this already. Government and society, not so much. Even serious research is pretty much banned with certain substances, which seems ridiculous to me.

> It is also important to realize there's a trade off happening where you're further locked into Google and their ecosystem

How am I locked in? Google isn't the authoritative host of AMP content, nor are they the only party running an AMP cache, nor does the existence of an AMP copy of a page prevent me from accessing the regular web copy.
It's a hassle, but such wires are hard if not impossible to reverse so it's better they get involved than not (if you were hacked or being scammed this is how you lose all your money). A lot of people get taken advantage of in investment scams.
The contrast between asset classes is that real estate allows for a much greater degree of leverage than the stock market does. "Margin calls" are not instant as housing price fluctuations are slower and repossession is a long process, allowing people to catch up longer. And there are several cash flow opportunities.
I think this is a piece of the pie. The thing to recognize that I think is just as important is that it is possible to state several common use cases (even synchronous microservices) as collections of append only immutable logs for system of record and an in-memory read/view state for readers and mutating functions.

I am using this pattern in risk, fraud and commerce and once new members in my teams get over the mental barrier of decoupling the append only log from state, it all just clicks for them.
In 2010 I experimented with Graphene as the Anode of a Li Ion battery. The results at the time were pretty promising but we (the lab at my uni) were synthesizing all of the material ourselves - there was no graphene supply chain and it was very expensive.

We always talked about specific capacity (q, charge per unit weight) so all the numbers I'm quoting will be in that - you can multiply by voltage to convert.

We were obtaining specific capacities around 500 mAh/g. Vs q= ~370 mAh/g max for graphite anode. I recall based on theoretical modelling ~660 MAh/g could have been achievable with graphene.

This pales in comparison to tin or cobalt anodes, which back in 2010 had q = 990 or so. We were not really optimizing for energy density. Rather with carbon based anodes we would see much better cyclical performance due to the lower volume expansion during Li intercalation. So you would be able to get much more charge/discharge cycles without the loss of performance you'd typically see in a higher energy density metal based anode.

I work in a different industry now and have not followed battery development closely. I'd speculate a similar thing has happened in the "real world" the energy density may not have improved significantly since 2006 but the cycle life is probably better.
That trick doesn't change the variance at all if decks are the same.

Typical winrates in human vs human are between 1-5ptbb/100 where 1ptbb = two big blinds. At 1ptbb the variance is pretty big and north of 1million hands are probably necessary to establish an edge, whereas at 5ptbb the variance is much smaller and 100k hands are usually enough to converge to the expected value

How I got a medal from the Army for writing code (2014)
google could have opted to create a standard that matches the amp standard, but not host the pages, and not put a "X" bar at the top, and not create new urls. they could have put the lightning icon on the serps next to all pages that are fully compliant with the standard.

the difference in speed between google-hosted amp and what i suggest above would be minimal.

the reason google didnt do it this way is because amp is not about speed. speed is just the thing they pitch to you to get you to look past all the negative aspects of the system.
I made a zoning map of SF yesterday. A lot of our city is sprawl, too: one house, one driveway, one garage per lot.

https://dcpos.ch/yimby/zoning

We can get two birds with a stone by building housing: make our city more walkable and beautiful, and also alleviate the housing shortage .

Want to support infill, upzoning, and want to beat the NIMBYs? Consider joining SF Yimby.

It's a small group of ppl who care a lot about this, they're smart and effective, and many of these local issues are right on the bubble around 50% support in low turnout elections. This means, with a bit of activism, you can swing the outcome.

I'm for universal healthcare but the ACA is collapsing in many states. I happened to ride back to Santa Fe with the CEO of Blue Cross of Omaha who told me that BC/BS of NM lost $100m on the ACA in 2015. That's a lot of money for anyone to lose. He believed there were a few relatively simple fixes that would go a long way to bring some sanity to the system. And let's face it, tax penalties are not the way to achieve health coverage for all Americans. Boo on Obama for not even bothering to try for Universal Healthcare...
Unfortunately drug schedules aren't evidence based, and there's no evidence based measurement for "potential for abuse" in use by the DEA or FDA.

The world isn't that simple. Search engines know how fast their fetches are all of the time, but they only know how fast a javascript-heavy site is when the search engine crawls with javascript on -- which is rarely.

And by construction, AMP pages are easy to analyze without having to execute anything.
They just have to stay afloat until they can cut out the drivers entirely.
>They still used bows, but took to guns due to their power.

Not necessarily. Early guns were inefficient; one shot every minute is nothing compared to what a good bowman can do and you couldn't place an accurate shot outside of a few yards.

The reason an army switches to guns is because they require very little strength (and consequentially, training time) to use. In fact, for a musket, the limiting factor would be the user's height (they're 5 feet tall; being much shorter than that would make reloading much more difficult).

For American Indians, it would make sense to switch as their stocks of trained bowmen were depleted. Not before then.

And has a lot to do with how this man came to get as far as he has, so far.
The spec for amp specifically has an "amp-ad" tag for displaying ads. There are multiple ways they can be shown in an AMP page. The nice thing about AMP ads is they will not cause the page to change layout/flow as they load. I believe a size must be declared for ads to prevent bad behavior.

But, you don't actually get to their page. Once you click on an AMP link on Google's SERP, I've found it impossible to actually "open full site" as you might expect to be able to do. It's also annoying to try and share a search result link only to have it be an AMP redirect.

Which might not be true. If the deal doesn't benefit the country, guess what will happen? Just don't sign it. Most of the TPP countries didn't have a bilateral agreement with US at this moment, so it is the status quo.

And since Trump's government is backtracking to protectionism, manufacturing jobs will less likely be delegated to countries like Vietnam, and countries like Japan doesn't have its back from US to confront China(Abe must be scratching his head right now, lol), I think it is much less appealing for those countries to hand over domestic control over regulations in exchange for something lesser.
I'm very doubtful. The financial market conditions that lead to the unicorns are drying up, and like most unicorns, their early/current investors have some extreme shareholder's agreements which make the companies very unattractive to new investors.

Work (good or bad) is a crutch many people rely on to feel as though they're accomplishing something.

I didn't work for 2 years (by choice) and never felt as if I lacked purpose and never felt the need to "accomplish something everyday."

Instead I exercised, read, watched TV, relaxed. I was constantly amazed by the number of people who said they'd hate that sort of routine.

The trade off that made the ACA possible was clear to everyone at the beginning: The mandate will bring the insurance companies more customers and that will help pay for the sicker customers they will have to cover. If it doesn't work out the federal government will be backstopping their losses.

Optimism around insurance stocks reflected in their stock prices was all about larger volumes making up for smaller margins and lower risk, there is no tricky misdirection going on here. That is "all you need to know about this story".

Ok, but on its own that doesn't make sense as a business decision. Assuming they are profit-driven businesspeople, they either they thought their best option was to try and sabotage the ACA, or they really thought this would work as a negotiation tactic, which seems absurd.
There is a lot of hostility lately toward AMP it seems like. I personally really enjoy it and have found myself now choosing AMP articles over non-article because I know the mobile experience won't suck.

One thing I noticed in the author's post: The author mentions that "The content loads off of Google’s own server, not from the website itself." I don't think that is correct unless you use choose to use the AMP-cache. For example, if you

I think the best way is to find one of your hobbies that has a public group and just force yourself to go, and focus on enjoying the part of it you enjoy. If you like MTG, find a local game night. If you like birds, go to a bird watching meetup. If you like activism, go to volunteering events. If you like spirituality, go to a church. And don't feel pressure to "do it right" or impress people in a certain way or make friends. You're probably going to be a weirdo, and that's ok. The goal is to be a weirdo who is enjoying something in the presence of others. Just go, give yourself a pat on the back for sticking around to the end, and then go again the following week.

But at a higher level, I think the way you break out of cycles is to first just attack one part of the cycle, and then slowly add more and eventually you are attacking it all at once. If part of why you don't like going out is you don't feel good about yourself, just do your laundry, clean your apartment, take a shower, put on clean clothes, and go for a walk. Then (if you're me) go back to binge eating pizza and browsing Reddit. Don't beat yourself up for the parts of the cycle you're not fixing, just give yourself credit for cleaning your apartment and move on.

It won't give way all at once. You've got to basically get practice fixing some parts of the cycle, which will have some small benefit, and over time you'll get closer to having a day where the whole cycle collapses and you do a complete virtuous cycle instead.

TL;DR: just attack part of the cycle, focus on your successes, and don't beat yourself up too much.

You could actually do that through the Facebook.com web interface much longer than you could through the FB mobile app. Of course, you can still do it on the web, though it's a separate domain (just as, on mobile, it's a separate app.)

But since they really want you to use the Messenger mobile app, to use the web interface on mobile you have to use "Request desktop site".

Just saw this, but American consumers are more sensitive to import prices than export, because consumers generally do not directly receive the proceeds of exports.

Net-net, it'd be hard to say what happens long term in the economy because that has a lot to do with long-term changes in the macro environment, if economic growth remains strong consumers will continue to make out better, if the strong dollar ultimate hurts the economy (and that isn't impossible), a weakening economy hurts consumers more than the stronger dollar.
