This lecture[1] about barefoot running by a Podiatrist has a great quote in it in response to the some bare foot enthusiasts saying, "Humans were born to run." "Humans were born with one purpose, to reproduce then die." I agree, All other "purposes"(happiness, satisfaction, etc.) serve this mandate, reproduction.

No, it does not happen, nor will it ever because that's fundamentally not how AMP caching works. A site doesn't pick an amp cache like they pick a hosting provider, with some sites cached on cloudflare-amp while others are hosted on google-amp. All amp content is on all amp caches. Google search is one AMP client, and it uses google's AMP cache. If, for example, bing wanted to serve AMP pages, they would need to choose an AMP cache to serve them from, and cloudflare's offering would be an option. One of the problems that AMP is trying to solve is individual websites hosting on insufficient architecture. If each site was allowed to choose what AMP cache it was served from, that would defeat the purpose. It's up to the client to choose the cache it uses, to ensure a consistent speed.
AMADisasters was the reason I made the list. (it turns out the mods would not let me post it there because it would make finding AMADisasters too easy)
They may be bad paint names, but I think they would be awesome names for some sort of Ikea-like hipster furnature.

Come to think if it, they would make great names for open source software, too.
I don't share your same values. The end goal for me is not just meat. I don't see the sun as just a think that's there to produce meat for me.

That's my point. I think you can get much more off of a square of solar exposure than just meat. And I think a cow is more than a meat factory. The cow's life is intrinsically valuable, and especially if we can have a relationship with the cow, it can make our lives more valuable.

Let's say you succeed in making a beef factory that's more efficient than an optimal cow pasture. Great, what are you going to do with the extra space? Make a movie theater? A theme park? A nature preserve? A cow pasture is a nature preserve!

I think a cow pasture is actually pretty nice. I don't think we need nearly as many of them as we have, and we could stand to eat a lot more plants, but I don't think replacing the cow pasture with a meat machine is really a step forward.
Yes, that seems like a fair criticism. Just being honest even at the expense of looking ridiculous.
A Practical Introduction to Functional Programming – Codementor
For code: create a readme (for your future self) that documents the state of things and dump the whole folder/project on github.

Often times, you'll have a hard time running old stuff you wrote (finding the same versions of the compiler/libraries/tools/etc.) so try to vendor your dependencies if that's an option. Even if you can't run your code down there road, having the source file can be a fun read or useful.

For non-code stuff: convert to a plain file, PDF or screenshot and file it away in your Dropbox/Google drive/whatever.
>Released in early 1991, the video not only became an instant hit, but also a quintessential video in the ’90s genre. It codified the checklist for what a video in the ’90s would look like.
> Guess what video this is talking about, no, just name the first thing that comes to mind. A little hard right?

When I read that description, the first two videos that came to mind were Give It Away and Smells Like Teen Spirit. I didn't even remember if those were released in 1991, but it turns out they both were. I suspect many others of my age would also think of those before Hunger Strike. But that doesn't prove those videos were better or more influential, just more popular and got more play on MTV.

I don't know how "pioneering" Temple of the Dog really were, but it does say something that a band that only made one album was worth reuniting 25 years later.
I am a digital hoarder... I have folders on my hard drive with stuff I created 25 years ago still on there... AND backed up on multiple cloud locations too!
> it's that twelve died in a ~year

Per the original NYT article, it was 2 years: "From the final weeks of 2010 through the end of 2012, according to former American officials, the Chinese killed at least a dozen of the C.I.A.’s sources."
Yes we were. Even the earliest hunter gatherers shared their bounty with the tribe.
Not according to Google [0]!

Given their pitch to advertisers, we are built exactly to live in "moments" - all conveniently full of advertising opportunities ;)

Depends on who you ask, I suppose. lol

To be fair the dating scene in DC is pretty rough.
And that's valid. The problem AMP is trying to solve is absolutely real, but the way they are trying to solve it is shady.
We did a poor job of "fitting" it to our body and I personally fear RSI pains every week due to how unfit our human-computer interfaces are. My dream is that room-scale VR will become a productive way to perform my job(designing, communicating and writing software) so that I'm up and moving around throughout the whole work day, arms and all, no long stretches of time in the same potentially tension producing position.
Why'd you want to do that? You loose your history etc.
But we can keep evolving.

By what mechanism? Evolution doesn't come about by sheer will.
> Your information processing based job is far more likely to become automated by programmers than that of a plumber or gardener.

It definitely seems that there's too much focus paid to the automation of transportation and the like, and even though those are going away, it's obvious a lot of white collar/office jobs are easier to automate away
Boom comes to mind
This post reminded me that Richard Stallman related something like this (an aside in [1], which is mostly about Lisp history from his point of view).

> Multics Emacs proved to be a great success — programming new editing commands was so convenient that even the secretaries in his office started learning how to use it. They used a manual someone had written which showed how to extend Emacs, but didn't say it was a programming. So the secretaries, who believed they couldn't do programming, weren't scared off. They read the manual, discovered they could do useful things and they learned to program.

There's a similar phenomenon with Excel. People will put together amazing things with Excel formulas. Sometimes these things are effectively line-of-business applications. But it wouldn't even occur to them to call themselves programmers. They're just "good with Excel".

Many others have also commented on the significance of the 8-bit TV computers booting to a BASIC interpreter rather than something to launch "apps" made by "developers", which I suspect was already part of your exploration.

In my opinion, many people make this mistake by believing that just because we've evolved to live a certain lifestyle (the example being pre-civilization hunter-gatherer societies) - that this way of life is indisputably the most comfortable and natural way for us to live, and that deviating from this lifestyle in any way is almost always detrimental.

In other words, they fail to take into consideration that reduction of challenge (e.g. through technological means) is also change in everyday behavior that deviates from the "orthodox" way of living, but nevertheless it makes life much better. We don't live how our bodies intended to live, and prehistoric behaviors are no longer practiced - but the fact that there is no need anymore to exercise this sort of behavior is a good thing, since the necessity to do so implied struggle, discomfort and scarcity - all unfavorable circumstance.

In short - living as nature intended implied struggle, and the cessation of that way of life is in many ways a result of removal of struggle, and not necessarily just some "unorthodox" living that allegedly puts our being under unnaturally high amounts stress.

My point: Yes, the contemporary lifestyle is stressful, and yes it is very different from the way we've evolved to live, but it's probably still much more comfortable and enjoyable than any aboriginal circumstance and prehistoric way of life our ancestors found themselves in.

tldr: Turn features into benefits.

People see more value in what a thing can do for them, than what traits it has that might let it do that thing. Often times features get all the press while utility is forgotten.

Side note: People do buy things that make them worse people, though they might not realize it.
Fair point. Information technology needs refreshing every 3-9 years or so (Moore's Law and such, though Moore treads more lightly over algorithms than he does microchips).

People ... need a years to develop, and could potentially provide useful service for decades. Having an entire cohort of agents removed is a substantial blow.
I'd conjecture it's because of a horrific subset of people of whatever sort doing things like raping and killing at Nanking, torturing and eating dogs, cats, monkeys, which just is entirely sacriligious everywhere else...which people extrapolate through built in statistics to form skepticism about the entire class. A few bad apples really do spoil the whole bunch, and that's reality.
Google tried and failed. There are alternatives in other countries.. V Kontakte and odnoklassniki for Russia, WeChat and Qzone for China, though other countries other than those two are using what Americans use. There are a few other things like Snapchat and Kik that teenagers are using.

Basically, if you think about the time you were a teenager: your parents are old. If they are using Facebook, than Facebook must not be cool. If your parents aren't using it, than it must be cool. In Facebook's defense: adults are more valuable as users than teenagers are, as they are clicking on ads and buying things. So there wouldn't be any reason for Facebook to even try to be that "cool" place where teenagers go.

So for someone to capture that niche the way Facebook had done would be very hard to do. I'm around Zuckerberg's age and at first, Facebook never appealed to me, until they removed the .edu cap. So that was an important step of getting Facebook to the entire world. It made everything so easy to connect with people and "keep in touch" via messages, wall posts, and photos. The "Like" button seemed to be something the world had never really seen as well and made it even easier to "show" you acknowledged it, rather than having to respond.

I'm sure if Google Plus attempted to be a compliment, rather than be a replacement, it would've had more success. And the next big social media network that is an alternative to Facebook will need to focus on that. People don't really like "change". However, they are willing to learn and switch to things that are more useful and helpful. For the older generation, which on Facebook -- 25+ is probably the most prominent users -- they really don't care to switch because their friends and families aren't using anything else. This is where Facebook has great strength.

Where Facebook and Google tend to fail is: they want to be everyone's everything. They seem to want to dominate all aspects of our lives. And while it sounds great and it has worked in China (with WeChat), it is not appealing to everyone that uses their products. However, when you have so many products within your already-huge enterprise: those products get lost or belittled. How many features does Google and Facebook have that many people don't even know exists? Facebook is social media and Google is search. Both have a little bit of extra pull with the open source and developer community, BUT.. they need to stay focused on what they are best at doing.

As a web app developer, I keep an eye on those failed or lesser known products from Facebook and Google, and make my own and charge for them. It is likely that they are free on Facebook and Google, but people might not know they actually exist because again: Google is for search, Facebook is for social communication. Anything more than that... is lost.
This makes a lot of assumptions, like we know what really went on in the minds of our primitive ancestor's.

Meditation, yoga, and martial arts has taught me that being in the moment actually makes prospecting easier and better. Not to mention the stress/anxiety relief, being better connected socially, etc.

We've built up a lot of mental constructs over the millennia. These constructs are things like how we're taught to react/respond to various stimuli like emotions from ourselves and others. We're taught these by parents and society. And we constantly refine them for better or worse.

There is so much going in this hyperconnected society that being in the moment has become hard and/or harder to maintain.
Soundgarden Badmotorfinger and Temple of the Dog were my 2 favorite albums of that era, so I know of this intimately.

I was a huge fan, and I have to say that Hunger Strike was the cringiest video I had seen up to that point. I couldn't stand it, it was so phony. Eddie Vedder inexplicably singing in the middle of weeds or tall grass and you could barely see him, it was hilarious. The rest of the band playing electric guitars on the beach with no hookups, was just so full of phoniness, it was probably the absolute worst video of that era. The idea that this video somehow "pioneered" other music videos is laughable.
quid-por-quo. So, who wins here?
I don't know what college you went to but mine was very much in-the-box thinking.
True. Motivation is only one component of our perceptual sets.

We also have to leverage our emotions, beliefs, and actions to align them with the motivation of evolving.

Edit: Anyone care to suggest a reason why this comment's being downvoted?
I've Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis in my late 20's. Anecdotally I can say I never believed the hype about the effect of marijuana use on inflammation. After going straight in the past 30 days (job hunting), I can say I thoroughly miss not itching over my entire body 24/7 and not feeling fire in my hands. To quantify I have decided to only pursue jobs in legalized jurisdictions.
I like the idea of creating a memorial blog post.

I don't understand though why you mention "open source" as a method. Although some people do this, I don't think github etc. should become graveyards of abandoned projects. Open source should rather be a method of developing a project. (When you're done with it put a note at the top of your README.)

WRT to (digital) archiving etc., I'd like to take a slightly different take on that topic: Every project is of limited interest. Sooner or later your interest will wane. Let's organize projects (or rather their digital artifacts) in a way that incorporates this fact. E.g. put all files related to project X, you created this year, into "Projects/2017/X" and create a symlink to that folder in "Projects/now", where you keep your references to projects that you're working on now. No need to archive anything later on. Just remove the symlink.
Keep all the code, mockups, assets, etc. Running a web dev/design shop for 6 years, many clients have come back even years later asking for a specific file, or a small variation in an old asset. I kept the code on GitHub and the assets on Google Drive. If you want to delete things, send the client the .zip archive first so the ball is in their court when they need something from the past. I didn't put too much value in post mortems or recaps.
There is also the small problem that we soon won't be able to. Peak phosphorus is a thing, and while it won't affect us in the west much, it will lead to famine.

Do you actually believe that keylogger programmers have never heard of GetClipboardData()?
It always seemed to me like that band (and that song in paritcular) was kind of "leftover" material rammed down the public's throat when Pearl Jam & Soundgarden broke as if it were some hidden gem that had somehow evaded our attention ("It's about their dead friend, you know..."). Always felt to me just like a cash grab-- like what Cornell (RIP) says in the article: "Oh, there’s this one video that we have that has members of both bands in it; let’s play it all day!"

I don't get how guys playing in a field was some kind of pioneering new concept in music videos. That's basically every music video in the 1960s.
How are you so certain?
It's easy to embrace non-thought, which essentially equates with belief in Cessation, or roughly, nihilism.
You sound like you've found a happy medium between your conceptual understanding of the sensory input, and your conceptual understanding of consciousness. Your Vinn diagram looks like foamy bubbles, with shared surfaces but no overlap.

Maybe it's interesting to examine the possibility of permanent non-existence, but the really fundamental change in perspective occurs when we understand that maybe nothing matters, and then recognize that we are still subject to reality, and do our best to help.

If you really believe in the value of watching your mind, then you should do it full time.
That was his point. The article said that a region it outlines has an economy bigger than California. But adding up the GDP [1] of all the states that overlap that region gives an economy about the size of California's.

Philly is in a state that overlaps the region, but is not in the region. Hence, adding up the state GDPs overestimates the GDP of the region by at least the GDP of Philly.

[1] technically, I believe it is actually called the GSP (Gross State Product) in this case.
I couldn't have said that better.
"Stoner Blue" FTW
Yeah, it's kind of become the Breitbart of the left... not that the left really needed such a thing =( I don't think the defence to propaganda should be more propaganda, and I'm ashamed of "my side" resorting to it. It's made me really cynical.
> they CHOSED to publish this. Why?

Is "they think people will click on it" too complicated an answer?
There are worse things than AMP. "Wix" sites, for one.
20 seconds to load a page where all the useful info is static.
Personally I thought Black Hole Sun was a terrible video, and I didn't like the production on that song either. Making the eyes bigger in the video felt like a stupid trick that a child would add because it looked new and cool. And the alternating "Black Hole Sun, Black Hole Sun" on the left and right channels were the same way to me.

That said, I was a huge Soundgarden fan, and that album was a disappointment for me. The only songs I still listen to from that album are 'Like Suicide' which is brilliant, and "The Day I Tried to Live".
so what would be the choice of tech to share files between computers on a private network?
Every single time that the United States has engaged in conflict with Asian countries, it has waged not war but programs of systematic and indiscriminate extermination.

From the atrocities of the "liberation" of the Philippines[1], to the nuclear bombings of Japan, to the targetless carpet bombings and rampant, sanctioned war crimes against enemy and nominal ally alike in Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos, flattening countries and scarring the lands and peoples to this day and the next.

America has reserved its most inhumane and destructive weapons to be field tested and then used without hesitation on Asian civilian populations. This is made possible because the United States only marginally accepts Asians to be human[2]. After all, "The Oriental doesn't put the same high price on life as does a Westerner. Life is plentiful. Life is cheap in the Orient."[3]

Building OpenCL into Vulkan to try and force NVidia's hand probably isn't going to work out well.
Wow, a piece i could read on the NYT. I hope it's not just me, reading this thinking; this story reads so much differently than their typical Trump hit piece. It doesn't take a side, it doesn't try to fire you up, it just informs.

I like being informed. This story is incredible - it shows a massive failure of the US system. The most likely source, a leak inside. A leak they were never truly able to detect.

It bodes for sloppiness. The incredible level of sheer sloppiness we are seeing from the deep state is beyond incredible.

If the reality is the intel services need a bad and serious reshaping, and we are watching them actively try to avoid that possibility. This article exposes a little more truth of the matter.

Our spies have been assassinated. Our most sensitive databases breached. Our own weapons stolen and used for bullshit crap coded ransom-ware. I would hope this story sticks around and becomes a talking point, but the media will strangle this out.
I do not think that we should focus on the present, nor do I think that we should focus on the past/future. However, I think even the original article was more convincing than this argument.

Yes, it certainly is conceivable that people will evolve to "live in the moment". But arguing that those who don't do so have mental illness and/or anxiety is a bit much. That's like saying people who "live in the moment" will be taken care of by natural selection because they won't learn from their mistakes and they won't see things coming until it's too late.

First of all, it's a strawman - just because you're focusing on the present in general doesn't mean you're unable to look at the past or future, and just because you're focusing on the past/future in general doesn't mean you're unable to enjoy the present as well. In other words, even if you're "living in the moment" overall, you can still recall mistakes and avoid repeating them, and you can still have foresight. And even if you reflect on the past or consider possibilities of the future, you can still be neurotypical.

Second, even if these things were all mutually exclusive, what evidence suggests that one of the group's genes will be removed from the gene pool? I know plenty of people who forget everything and also struggle thinking 1 step ahead in tic tac toe, and I don't see them struggling to keep their genes in circulation - they just have a different pool they choose from (other "near-sighted" people). Similarly, I have quite a few friends with anxiety, and they do just fine, because they date other friends of mine with anxiety.

> If you're willing to spend some time watching your mind, you'll realize that it already stops all the time, it's just a matter of noticing this, thus strengthening its absence

And if you're willing to spend some time watching your mind, you'll realize that it already starts back up all the time. It's just a matter of noticing that your mind is inclined towards thinking, and strengthening the presence of thoughts in your mind.

The previous paragraph was not meant as a serious argument. Again, I am not arguing that "living in the moment" is bad or that we should avoid it or anything like that. The point of it was just to demonstrate that the argument needs more to back it up.
I could be wrong, but from what I've seen, it's not possible to create a non-AMP page that loads faster than AMP, on account of Google's JS hot-loading and caching. AMP always loads faster for me.
Soda pop seem like the best possible example of a business that has worked hard to build a moat around itself, to the detriment of its customers. Those companies work hard to make it hard for people to change their lifestyle. I would be surprised if even half of revenues went into the product itself.
