> the big bang theory was dismissed for decades.

Dismissing a theory that is (now known to be) right is not necessarily political; it can be just a mistake. There are certainly cliques that are invested in believing the orthodoxy, but there are ways in the hard sciences of absolutely disproving that orthodoxy; and, though they are subject to fierce scrutiny, as they should be, they can be, and have been, accepted after surviving that scrutiny.

Bitcoin is new technology. It's a thing that exists now. Making it illegal will simply push it to countries where it's not illegal. History shows that's an excellent way for countries to become less relevant. It's like making alcohol illegal.

The way to beat bitcoin, if you're a state, is to control it. For example the US government confiscated from DPR something like 7% of all BTC that will ever exist. China's mining facilities happen to control a large portion of the network's hashing power. The NSA has undoubtedly studied ways to DDoS the network. Etc.
If they did manage to hit 125 mph and if the tunnels were built over long enough distances, couldn't these be a competitor to travelling by air for shorter trips i.e. 1-2 hour flight times? You can go a long way at 125 mph in the time that's not directly used in getting you to your destination i.e. travel to airport, security, etc. etc.

Yeah, I know what he's talking about. That use case is exactly how people make use of direct messaging and notifications these days.

Have you recently bought a car through text messaging? Lots of people do that now. They text four or five sales reps at different dealerships, they all run off to do work, then they come back with the best prices and you negotiate entirely through that channel.

Have you recently bought hair extensions through text messaging? Lots of people do that, and entire field sales force are managed and communicated to with text messaging.

Do you work with 25-35yo somethings? Guess how you're getting most of your work instructions these days. It's text messaging.

Have you seen the additional UI/UX changes? Do you know about how a big group of ex-Apple employees rolled off to spin up their own text messaging company that extends the purpose of SMS with additional functionalities that's now more and more common place in-app before we see it roll out to the first party channels.

How to direct-install Debian SID rolling release using mini.iso (with screenshots)
"...it does its own scrolling but he doesn't quite like it."

Nothing should be doing its own scrolling. Everything should let the native scroll do its thing. Computers work for me and should work the way I expect. I expect the default native scroll.
I drink 2 or 3 cups of coffee per day. I stopped drinking alcohol about 12 years ago. I'm sure it has affected my social life but it's only one of many factors.

Edited to change the wording of the third sentence.
The xcode backdoor thing could have been much worse if iOS allowed sideloading for regular users. With the centralized appstore, most users having installed backdoored builds would be auto-updated to clean builds, current backdoored builds would be removed from sale, and new backdoored builds are likely to be blocked during uploads to itunesconnect/app review.

Also, don't forget the whole xcode backdoor fiasco happened because people were installing side-loaded xcode distributions instead of getting it from the mac store. So even where sideloading is and should remain allowed - on the mac - people will click big red "I know what I'm doing" buttons without knowing what they're doing. And that's for people who really should know what they're doing - developers!
Ad hominem attacks are considered logical fallacies only when they're used instead of a dismantling someone's arguments. If they're not making a sound argument at all, yet they continue to make it, there's no way to argue the argument, the problem is a character defect - so attacking the character of the person is logical in that case and accepted in debate.

Not all people are good. And not all smart people argue logically.

Hmmm, did you ensure the database had flushed outstanding writes + froze the filesystem before snapshotting it?

I don't touch MySQL much, but as a generalisation it's a good idea to flush outstanding writes + freeze the filesystem(s) for pretty much any database before snapshotting.

From previous experience with Oracle (years ago), that specifically would explode dramatically if things weren't flushed first.

> The world is drowning in cash—and it's making us poorer and less safe.

> So what is all that cash being used for? The answer is simple: a large part is feeding tax evasion, corruption, terrorism, the drug trade, human trafficking, and the rest of a massive global underground economy.

Don't expect me to be automatically convinced that tax evasion and corruption are making me poorer and less safe. Tax evasion makes everyone except the government richer and corruption makes it possible to buy freedom (such as in countries with drafting).

States may profit from trade restrictions individually, but if everyone restricts trade of whatever he wants, world is just driven into Nash equilibrium, where everyone is poorer than without restrictions. Corruption makes it possible to bypass these restrictions by bribing the customs. So corruption also makes us richer.

If the US wanted him from Britain for national security reasons (or political reasons masquerading as national security reasons), they wouldn't try to get him extradited to Sweden to do it; the US has closer security cooperation with the UK than Sweden.
The Microsoft Build 2017 Recap: What to Expect When You’re Expecting Windows
I actually built a company in a similar situation. I live in Vancouver while my cofounders live in Berlin. It meant a lot of early mornings for all founders, same as late nights to maximize communication. I am German and only moved here a few years ago, so I was comfortable with incorporating in Germany. Canada offers a lot of amazing opportunities for startups (IRAP / SRED) that we missed out of because of it. Ownership in Canada for foreigners is easily possible though. One other thing to look into is the lifetime exemption on capital gains. If you don't incorporate in Canada you should consider talking to a specialist to set it up so that you can still take advantage of it in case you end up selling the company

> It's made it significantly harder to use Google search on iOS.

Works well enough on Android Chrome. Irony is, AMP, Android, Chrome and Google Search are all Alphabet (Google) products. I am personally all for platform portability, but certainly it's been Apple who have been pushing for One Closed Ecosystem since the introduction of iPhone, and Apple users have been very happy about it and playing down the vendor lock-in issue - some even as far as claiming it desirable that The One Benevolent Vendor control everything (note that real Chrome is not available on App Store simply because Apple has decided that iOS users should only use the Safari rendering engine!)

Now that there's a shard in the walled garden, another player seemingly using the very same tactics as Apple, it's frustrating to see the same users complain about how much it sucks to be disenfranchised from modern computing because they use a different vendor - only this time Apple is the "other" vendor.

Should Google succeed to marginalize iOS (assuming this is intentional and not just a bug in Safari), I bet many of these folks will soon be writing about how great it's that Google controls everything, how Material embodies the latest hip in UX and how the new Pixel has become so integral to their daily life.
> Are you talking about the flight control computers?

One out of three of them, yes. That's what happened in the Quantas flight. Would Direct Law still work under those conditions?

Should that have happened in the Quantas flight described in the article?

> Under Direct Law the pilots inputs are directly translated to control surface deflections.

Hm. If that's true then the obvious thing for the pilots to do would have been to go into Direct Law mode, but I don't see that mentioned in the article.

It's not something developers have to implement so only if you are rolling your own UIScrollView/UITableView components would you have to worry about it.

Also it's been there since iOS 1.0 so quite a while now.
It seems like this distinction could be done at compile time instead of at runtime.
A fair number.

And usually it was just a matter of paying some money and getting the visa (sometimes even on the spot at the airport at arrival). Other times the travel agent just handled it all, with just your name and passport number.

No third degree examination I can recall of...
With respect to scrolling: We (AMP team) filed a bug with Apple about that (we didn't implement scrolling ourselves, just use a div with overflow). We asked to make the scroll inertia for that case the same as the normal scrolling.

Apple's response was (surprisingly) to make the default scrolling like the overflow scrolling. So, with the next Safari release all pages will scroll like AMP pages. Hope Gruber is happy then :)

I feel like the majority of the benefits of Google AMP could be realized with an nginx & Apache plugin combined with Google's CDN.

If it was implemented in this manner, you could keep your existing URL structure and not be forced onto Google's domain. I'm sure many more developers would be okay with AMP if this was the case.

> The people who didn't care before or just outsourcing it to someone else who doesn't care about them and everyone's losing in the process.

There's probably another factor involved: The people who actually build the sites rarely have final say on their content. They usually report to a VP of marketing who is non-technical and who doesn't care about load time but does want as much bling and ad revenue as possible.
Wouldn't you keep the starter family as a rental?
AMP is HTML5, so by definition it cannot outperform it. It is just the web. That is a feature.
Tap the status bar -- the bit at the very top with the time, your battery level, and whatnot.

As Gruber mentions, this works on almost anything that scrolls vertically, not just the browser.
Double tap. I think it only works with one tap if the address bar is already open.
Not just that. I think one of the biggest issues Google has had recently is that they're trying too hard to guess what their users 'might' want instead of what they actually want.

Try and search anything even remotely technical or specific. Google brings back a few thousand irrelevant results, often with stuff like 'not found: word you were actually after' underneath in grey. Sometimes even when you do add quotes or speech marks around the term.

A better Google would be one that doesn't assume people want 'any old possible answer' and tries to answer specific queries as easily as general ones.
Because how many website operators continuously google their own web site on mobile devices to click through to experience their google-hosted AMP editions? I would wager it's a fairly small % of the number of websites running an auto-AMP-ifying wordpress plugin, for example.
Declarative Templates: A Better JavaScript View Layer
I wonder if it can be proved one way or the other, whether it's even possible to ascend beyond it.
See comment below. Soon all pages will scroll like AMP. It is just overflow scrolling, and Apple decided to make that the standard.
Partyshare is open source file sharing built on the P2P hypermedia protocol IPFS
Taking on Google means finding away around the moat they have with their economies of scale due to their size in the market and the mindshare that goes along with it (when the term google became a verb I figured search was a solved problem and Google had won).

Better for someone to find a better way to organize the world's internet data or links or find a way for me to get more out of it. It's one thing to find me the most relevant website but maybe finding a way for me to do more with that will get me to leave Google.
>I would argue that if you spend 5% writing and 95% reading you won't be maintaining that skill.

The amount a developer (not manager) should code varies from domain to domain. In my work, 5% may be on the low side. But I'd argue in most domains, if you're spending more than 20-30% of your time coding, you're overdoing it and creating too much technical debt.

I'm not a manager, but if I were, I'd promote the folks who find (good) reasons not to code than to code. Some problems need software to solve a problem. But writing software should be a last resort.

Of course, if you're writing throwaway code on a code base that won't last more than a year or two, code away. Technical debt is not a big concern.
Yup. It took a truly incredible amount of manual labor to sew them all together.
Mindly software's "bubble" on smartphone and TODO, NOTE, ..., in editor if they can't be immediately digested by Trac's ticket or wiki page.

It's not just about responsiveness. About half of the AMP pages I open on Safari on iOS literally do not scroll at all, instead scrolling the top bar with the fake URL on it, so as a user AMP is literally breaking the web.

I think the frustration here is seeing the decay of the open web and the rise of AOL-esque walled gardens in which your Facebooks and your Googles own the access methods, and every other third party is subordinate to them.

These guys at Google are abusing the web in order to prevent you from navigating away from google hosted content (I'm a technical user and it still took me way too long to find that menu in the corner), in much the same way that Facebook apps make it hard to escape their respective walled gardens.
But also:

> So you are saying the US has laws which within US jurisdiction says that it's OK to file for extradition of non-US citizens anywhere in the world, if the US doesn't like what they do?

The US certainly has laws which criminalize behavior outside of the US by non-US citizens; and certainly has attempted extradition (and simple forcible seizure, even in the presence of an extradition treaty with the country where the target was located) based on those laws.

> Good for them, I guess, but why should the rest of the world comply?

That depends on the specifics of the particular case.
But other sources are not reporting it, so maybe there really is too much bias?

To me the comments to the article are the most shocking thing. It's obvious that Pai is a shill for the ISPs. Yet 90% of the commenters are so mindlessly pro-market that they cannot see that deregulating the ISP market that's currently a awful market that in many areas sees only a single provider will lead to stifling innovation in the much more important market of services provided via the Internet. And the people spout shit like "The internet is a privilege and not a right" as an argument against it being a utility. What reality to people live in? The internet is arguably the most important invention in human history and probably the most important utility we have. I'd rather give up roads or running water than Internet access.
