If apple, and others, provided on-site day care it would take some of the pressure off daycare in the region and the wait times likely wouldn't be so long for everyone else (including people who get fired). Also, if they're arguing this is such a critical benefit it shouldn't be handled by apple because the impact of losing it is so great then why do they provide health care?

I can't imagine that AMP would load much faster that the current Daring Fireball design. If it's faster, I would probably guess that it's just the different routes between the AMP cache on Google and Daring Fireball's host. But, DF isn't using AMP.

I seem to recall that publishers who used the Facebook version saw a decline in revenue, so I think you're right about that point. I don't know about AMP, though.
I don't think he is arguing against independence for publication. He is instead arguing against the app store restrictions on account that they are equivalent. It is not illogical to point out an hypocrasy if the point is that his own arguments should be more broadly applied. The tone was unnecessarily ad hominem but not the overall argument.

> It’s not only pleasantly readable

I find JSX to be more readable. "Tags as first class functions" means I have to parse the functions into HTML as an extra mental step when trying to understand the structure and elements that make up the view.
> They are successful because the identified "objectives" and made the right calculations to those objectives.

This is pretty close to tautological. Your version of "right" can only be evaluated decades after the fact. Who succeeded? The ones who were right. Who's right? The ones who succeeded.

I also think it highly overvalues making the right calculations. All the calculation in the world will not avail you if you are not in the right position to make it happen. In human history, there have been about 100 billion people. How many of them, even given the right ideas, were placed to build a company like Apple or Google?

Even if we focus on ideas alone, making all the right calculations isn't sufficient. Somebody else could do that, too, and then it does come down to circumstance and luck.

It's certainly uncomfortable that life is hugely random. But I don't think the solution is to try to sweep that under the rug. If nothing else, that sort of aversion to risk keeps us from making good calculations about business.

> 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.

I don't think they're actually are a lot of Apple fan is claiming that the one benevolent company should control everything as you posited earlier your post.

I'll also tell you this: I was an Apple user long ago. I would back to the platform in the early 2000's, years before the iPhone came out. I distinctly remember what it was like to be on the minority platform that no one bothered to support. In many ways, OS X is still like that today.

I don't think you'll get a bunch of people switching over to the "winning" side and claiming google is better just because it's "winning".

I see a lot of problems with what they're doing, outside of simple issues of my personal taste.

Also, you can complain about whatever you don't like about Apple, but they NEVER tried to break the web. If anything they did a huge service by making a browser that was not IE6 extremely important and drastically hastening the demise of flash.

Google can do whatever it wants on android, my problem is that they can use the web to force people into the rest of their ecosystem that's removing the one big open thing that made it possible to use Apple computers back in the "bad old days" of having a little software. By the mid to thousands people use the Internet enough that switching to a Mac wasn't a big deal because so much of what you wanted to do involve the web browser. If google "fixes" that, they now have a very heavy hand over all of computing .
I don't think things will improve until we get some politicians that have actual hard experience of working with technology. I see politicians trying to seem informed but merely demonstrating their ignorance all the time. How are they supposed to make decisions about this type of thing when they are so obviously clueless?

> Using epicycles just means to decompose the motion into its Fourier series. It may not be the most elegant description, but its not wrong per se, either.

One issue here is that (as I understand the history) epicycles were not originally proposed in the context of "just add them until you've got something that looks right"; it was proposed that, occasionally, one needed to add one epicycle. After a while it was found that even this didn't work, and we needed sometimes to add another. I forget whether the theory collapsed before instances were found where we'd need a third.

This, I think, is 'wrong' in the sense of physics: if your model is constantly scrambling to catch up with newly acquired data, then it has no predictive, and hence little scientific, value. Further, the very ability of epicycles constantly to scramble to catch up—the ability of trigonometric polynomials to approximate continuous functions arbitrarily well over arbitrary bounded intervals, as you mention—is also a mark against them: a scientific theory that is so general that it could be tuned to predict anything can, in fact, for that reason actually predict nothing.

Right, but I think that definition falls apart if you look at pathological shapes instead of nice convex ones. If you just randomly generate polygons, the thickest part of the shape can appear anywhere, including a very far off edge. And if you cut a tiny opening into that part of the shape, the center would completely move.

Remember what happened just over a week ago to the NHS and all sorts of other computers?

Security is becoming EXTREMELY important, although it was already pretty important.

Apples very strict (occasionally draconian) app model on iOS is one of the reasons it has so few problems with the software destroying the system or viruses or other such things. There's a reason Microsoft is eyeing it jealously for Windows. That kind of heavy sandboxing makes exploit much much more difficult.

It totally depends on context. My office doesn't have a gym, but there's one next door and we reimburse its membership fee. Colleagues seem to find it easier to go regularly during the workday, rather early in the morning or after work. I think it's fantastic that this kind of "break" is allowed and encouraged. In this city of dysfunctional transportation, saving you a "second commute" to the gym is a valuable service.

Food? A nice lunch that I don't have to think about beats packing PB&J or throwing away money on restaurant meals.

Dinner is provided very late, and is by no means an expectation, more of a courtesy to employees working late for other reasons. It makes sparse use of one cafeteria, where lunch overflows ~5.

1. The proper question is "When a commenter is very wrong on a technical topic, is it net-positive for someone with expertise to point this out even if they don't contribute further?". I think the answer is obviously "yes". You seem to be more concerned with whether people are pulling their fair share, vs. being exempt/special, which I claim is the wrong question.

2. Effort scales with detail. The example comment you give is 3 times the effort, and I wouldn't have made the original comment if it required that much detail. My comment took me a few seconds to write, and merely tracking down a URL link for explanation would have made it not worth it.

3. Rebutting the N-th confused post on HN about dark matter doesn't interest me, but the meta point of what contributes to a discussion does interest me.
1) Learn one thing really well and stick with it until you master it. Human confidence isn't wired to derive satisfaction from breadth of skills. The stronger single skills you develop, the easier it becomes to develop context and understanding as you add to your skillset.

2) Get solid on the basics and stay current: data structures, algorithms, computation and basic operating systems. Without these you'll never reach high levels of competency.

3) Develop boundaries. I've seen stellar developers reduced to a pile of depression and anxiety by poorly trained managers getting them to overcommit. Learn to know what you know well and what you do not know well. Push the rest back onto your manager and make them do their job.

4) Take time to enjoy and savor this time. We're in an age of technology that has never before existed.
> If you first instinct is to address these problems with some sort of startup, I think you've got a hammer-problem going on. These are societal problems that the market has shown no appetite for tackling or capacity for actually resolving.

I'm cautious with this: If you know what problems people/society has, you know what products to solve/mitigate these problems might be bought. This perfectly sound like startup opportunities to me.
Just one file, backed up regularly. I think the simple is key; one of the sibling replies here has a bit of lisp similar to what I use, and that's it.

The problem with applying a bunch of structure is that you start to screw with the structure, maybe try to turn things into JSON or whatever, pivot by date or technology or location, and a few hours later you've wasted a bunch of time mucking with stuff that you'll probably waste more time mucking with later. Just slamming text into a file and having a minimal syntax for dating things is, I've found, sufficient. I want notes and a little support for continuity ("what the heck was I juggling when I left on Friday?"), not a blog or a platform for deathless prose.

It'd be nice if there was a rich text system similar to Emacs that didn't force you do write markup or handcuff you to a proprietary data format. Truthfully I haven't looked that hard (multi-platform is probably difficult to achieve). I have notes files strung back over twenty years, and simple text is a hard habit to break.
Hey - that's a perfectly reasonable answer, and I glad for you on the startup bit (sounds fun).

You're right on the "color by numbers" part - but I think there's a couple of reasons for it. I think that the purpose of the course isn't geared only to ML and self-driving vehicle purposes, but also as a means toward general software development. So they don't expect everyone to be at the self-starting coder level.

Secondly, if they were to, say, have you code each project from scratch with only a bare outline of what is needed, I think they'd have to likely expand the course (more lessons to teach things more in depth), as well as extend the time for the lessons; all of this would mean the course would be much longer, and that students would have to dedicate even more time to the effort, beyond what they already are doing.

Some could do that, but I think that many wouldn't be able to; they have to strike a balance somewhere, and this has been their answer. Plus, I have a feeling that many of their students are currently students going to university in some manner, and not all of them in the United States, but abroad internationally. Many of these students are likely struggling just to make the payments for this nanodegree as-is (and may have contributed to the drop-out rate from term 1 to term 2). Making the course longer and more expensive might put it completely out of reach for those students.
Looks like Google have recently added a means of getting out of the AMP "jail" and arriving at the original source site by clicking a little link icon in that irritating header that constantly pops over content while scrolling.

This is very welcome. My biggest gripe with AMP was that there was no way out of it.

Wikipedia agrees it's an ad hominen, but NOT fallacious (if true):
"However, in some cases, ad hominem attacks can be non-fallacious; i.e., if the attack on the character of the person is directly tackling the argument itself. For example, if the truth of the argument relies on the truthfulness of the person making the argument—rather than known facts—then pointing out that the person has previously lied is not a fallacious argument."
Lied and contradicted oneself are a close-enough match - but outright contradictions are rare; complex opinions and judgments common.

> So the Malthusian argument is incorrect, probably, if humans are like other animals

> The alternative requires an assumption that humans are hugely different from the species that we evolved from

Well we are, for proof look at the fact that we're even discussing it here when all the other species never did. Look, that all sounds very peachy if it weren't for the fact that our species alone has grown the brains and the self-justifications for consciously attempting to continously outwit "nature" (and be able to replicate way beyond what our ancestral habitats could carry) at every turn with agriculture and all the sciences =) granted, there's no point in or way of "going back" for all manner of reasons, but we needn't lose sight of certain basic facts here..

That's basically what I understand the idea of "race to halt" to be. Mobile CPUs are already designed to finish their current task as quickly as possible so they can idle to cool off (that's how laptop chips can support turbo boost).

I think the time it takes for memory reads is too short to take advantage of though, because of how long it takes chips to come out of sleep & ramp up their clock speed.

Ad hominem arguments are chiefly problematic in pure logical discourse. In normal human rhetoric, the reputation of the person making the argument often factors in to whether listeners view the argument as truthful. It's not a problem to point out things that reduce the impact of reputation on rhetoric.

Essentially, any time a public figure says something, there's an implicit, "I have been truthful before, I am being truthful now," leading the statement. If someone's opinions are self-inconsistent, it's important to know that one can discount that implied statement.
No, it's a single tap on the status bar (where the clock is). It works almost anywhere in iOS there's a long scrolling thing.

It's a shame you hijacked this thread with a critique of Gruber. There's no good argument that AMP is anything but a bad thing for publishers, and that has nothing to do with Gruber's support for Apple's approach to iOS.
