Fuel burns. That's why so much effort is expended in airplanes to try and stop that from happening. The designers learn from experience.

A helium Zeppelin isn't safe from fire, either. Once the canvas catches fire, it's going down in flames. Frankly I doubt whether having hydrogen in it or not makes any real difference. I've seen the clips on the news where hot air balloons, with no hydrogen, catch fire and what happens (everybody dies).

There's no reason to believe that hydrogen Zeppelins could not go through a similar learning process as aircraft that would make them just as safe as airliners are today.
Haha, well-made point.
Indeed. However you also made it clear what you don't understand. Consider 1 person per year being born.

If you assume the growth rate is exponential, then you will see that the first year, the growth rate is 100%, the second year the growth rate is 50%, the third year the growth rate is 33% and so on. At any point, you can fit an exponential to the graph tangential to the current point. It won't fit much, but you can still do it.

A decreasing exponential may be exponential, but it also very well may not be. But we'll need to look a few years into the future to be sure. That said, expert opinion seems to be that growth rate is at this point linear (or iow an exponential that decreases each year so as to appear linear) [0]

It isn't related to iframes directly. Iframes in mobile Safari are never scrollable. The div thing you suggest would have the same issue. If you are a web developer you likely have built a website that has this issue.
Yes, if its a consistent problem with no good reason. Very viable.
Shakespeare's reference is often used to imply that the names of things do not affect what they really are. -wikipedia

rabbit-duck image: "In addition to ambiguous sentences, Wittgenstein discussed figures that can be seen and understood in two different ways. Often one can see something in a straightforward way — seeing that it is a rabbit, perhaps. But, at other times, one notices a particular aspect — seeing it as something.
An example Wittgenstein uses is the "duckrabbit", an ambiguous image that can be seen as either a duck or a rabbit.[32] When one looks at the duck-rabbit and sees a rabbit, one is not interpreting the picture as a rabbit, but rather reporting what one sees. One just sees the picture as a rabbit. But what occurs when one sees it first as a duck, then as a rabbit? As the gnomic remarks in the Investigations indicate, Wittgenstein isn't sure. However, he is sure that it could not be the case that the external world stays the same while an 'internal' cognitive change takes place."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophical_Investigations#S...

Shakespeare states that things are the same no matter what you call them. Wittgenstein states that things are what they are regardless of what you call them. A duck-rabbit is a duck-rabbit whether you choose to call it a duck or a rabbit. Their statements seem more similar than different to me.
Do you pay anything more than attention to nautil.us?

I think that site gets far too much coverage on HackerNews along with atlas obscura -- I see multiple articles everyday.

Honestly I find their content here too frequently -- there is some manipulation going on.
I didn't like what I saw as their snark. When they replied they didn't apologize for it or even mention it, they just explained that the scrolling behavior was changing again.

My second comment was because I thought the original behavior of implementing AMP the way it was and forcing it on users was arrogant and has seriously annoyed the hell out of me since it originally started appearing on iOS. I've literally considered switching search engines to get away from it because it makes using Google that much harder.

Yeah, I called it terrible to their face. Because it frustrates the hell out of me. I've tried finding ways to contact google, I've tweeted at them, I've posted in previous discussions. At no point did anyone ever seem to wake knowledge the problem other than seeing people (who I assume we're not googlers) basically say it's not their fault because that's the way Apple implemented iframes.

Combined that arrogance with what I see as rudeness... and yeah. I said terrible twice. I'm frustrated as hell at this and don't like that the solution will be "it's going to stay there but Apple is going to make it a little bit better for you".

When the scrolling gets fixed? I'm still gonna be annoyed as hell at AMP pages. They break the experience, but now just a little less. Hurray.

> there should be a at least some personal shame involved for having made such poor decisions

What about the shame of the lender for making poor lending decisions?

> We shouldn't try to normalize it.

Why not? The only reasons you've given is "because it makes for a nicer society" but I don't actually see how it does. All you're doing is taking one of the few tools the individual has to mitigate financial problems away from them because you want to moralise their failure.

It's not like declaring bankruptcy is a walk in the park. It's a total pain and really negatively impacts your ability to do a lot of stuff. It is already a last resort for individuals and they shouldn't be stigmatised for taking it.

> You're spending other people's money. Treat it with respect.

No you're spending your own money, gained through a business transaction in which the lender has accounted for the risk of non-repayment.

I actually think it makes for a potentially nicer society if lenders are incentivised to have a stake in the successful outcome of their clients. If the client is culturally conditioned to try and pay their loan even after the point it makes no sense to, then the lenders will put more and more onerous terms and rates on loans because they know the person will never give up. Lenders will have to make sure it's a good deal for their clients, not just themselves.
The way Safari does things is not their fault.

That they chose to ship that way instead of using an alternate implementation that didn't run into the problem ( or was less frustrating or provided an opt out ) was THEIR decision. They're not 100% blameless in this.
Trying to play Freeciv I have this "what am I suppose to do in this game" feeling. Not everyone has grown up with this kind of game and there´s no real onboarding. It's a bit sad because I'm sure I might enjoy it
One main appeal of Bitcoin is that it always works if you have coins on hand at this moment. You can use it for time-sensitive transactions without wasting time to purchase some coins beforehand. Want to send $50 or $50 million to someone or some company in another country? Bitcoin does that in 10-60 minutes (1 to 6 confirmations). No PayPal blocking the transaction. No unexplainably declined CC authorization. No bank account suddenly seized by your totalitarian government. Being able to pay your B2B Chinese supplier for an urgent order on a Friday evening without having to wait for banks to process wires on Monday. The list of scenarios where Bitcoin is useful goes on and on.
Apple has certain things that they can push any time, such as the lists that safari looks at to find out if websites are dangerous or some of the security stuff they have.

However they ship it, they'd still be in an arms race against google to keep AMP pages hidden from Safari users. That doesn't seem like a productive use of anyone's time.
Most airline accidents are eventually traced back to something innocuous. Then we learn from that, and fix the design, process, and training to prevent it from happening again.

There's no reason this cannot apply to Zeppelins.
I like the idea of wrapping forms in (seq ...) explicitly. This makes the program read more closely to the declaration of a state machine, with smaller sections that represent state transitions (and are, most likely, expected to be atomic).
I've been thinking some lately about systems that express the idea of programming as an ordinary computer use...systems that don't draw a distinction between users and programmers...systems that don't distinguish between programming them and using them. Earlier today, I was writing a demi-argument in response to a complaint about Windows 10S not having the Linux subsystem based on that idea and how it related to the replacement of "programming" with "development" and part of that reply was enumerating systems that treated "programming" like using.

That's when I remembered Amaya which I first stumbled across back in 2007 or so when I was trying to figure out how to build a website for my practice (pretend work that was easier than trying to dig up clients on the cusp of the recession). What is interesting to me is how diverse browsers were in the days before Chrome. The old Opera is another example of what a web browser could be...or could have been.
At 1000 feet, the drop of a rifle bullet is pretty trivial (a few yards) compared with the size of an airship. Considering how slow they move, I don't think a moderately competent rifleman would have much trouble hitting them.
> I never said that it would continue to decline indefinitely.

It's been continuously declining for half a century after peaking, the assumption that it's suddenly reached a bottom at the most recent measurement and returned to an exponential steady state is unwarranted.
Indexing. Who needs Google when you have your own index? And I don't know about you but I can't get passed 16 pages of search results on google even though it has billions of results for the search term "contact us" (have it set to 50 per page)
To be fair, at least in wikipedia's case, that's potentially a good thing. Wikipedia isn't ad-supported, so having their data hosted elsewhere isn't actually a problem (as long as credit is given and so donations continue), because it becomes less expensive for them to host.
This can be relatively easily proven to be impossible in any total language.

What about in the case of machine language? A valid input is a valid binary, and you can use machine language to parse binaries. I suppose one could argue machine language is implemented by the processor and it cannot interpret hardware, therefore it is not self-interpreting.
> A decreasing exponential may be exponential

No, a "decreasing exponential" is not exponential. It might return to an exponential after the decreasing period, but during the period of decline, the growth is not exponential.
AmiKit is not the emulator (though it comes with one, or, at least, it did).

Instead, it is an application- and configuration distro. Just without the OS. Like a Linux distro without Linux ;-)

You still need the original AmigaOS disks (or images) and the firmware ROM. The only place to legally obtain them, these days, is the AmigaForever distribution, which, however, is more focussed on gaming and retro-feeling. You won't get the stuff in this distribtion, which is an add-on, that gives you the Workstation-feeling ;-)

The work done by the AmiKit guy is massive. Configuration of these things takes days and you will find yourself researching on Amiga forums a lot.

What's that saying, again? "Luck is where preparation meets opportunity"?
There is nothing vague about ETS's bylaws requiring all licensors to comply with local anti-trust/monopoly laws. Many SSO's, bar IEEE's recent licensing policy on "smallest saleable Compliant Implementation," intentionally leave it out in their by-laws or FRAND commitment to avoid crossing paths with regulators. This isn't about their market share, but whether their licensing practices were anti-competitive and/or in violation of local laws and Qualcomm has been found guilty on that by at least three different regulators. I don't have any problem with a "natural monopoly" -- though the US regulator may not agree with me -- but this isn't clearly a problem of just market competition.

> But from 3rd party developer's perspective, I can assure the more open platform is better.

I'm not sure that follows.

But anyway, if being more open is a good thing then Google purposefully trying to shove everyone into their various products and ecosystems seems precisely the opposite of "open" to me.

I was never really a big fan of chrome but when you Google released it and the web started getting a lot better that was fine with me, it was even nice. Same thing with many of the other things they've done.

Now it seems to me like they often try and corral or cajole users into using other parts of their ecosystem by making other people stuff broken in unnecessary ways when you try and use one of their "open" products. It's starting to look very 90s Microsoft to me with a different spin on it. And that worries me. And they're big enough/powerful enough that they can get pretty far and do a lot of damage before it becomes extremely obvious to a lot of people.
It turns out that if you strip most of the JS bloat from a webpage and serve it from a fast CDN, the page loads way faster. Shocking stuff.

Also there you may find the Linux and Android version.
It depends on what "inside" means. Amaya was designed to author web pages in the days when user created mashups was a mainstream idea about what it meant for ordinary people to browse the web. It was a world view where creating something like a Geocities page was normal use of the web and not something that only professionals did while lay users just consumed content. Or to put it another way, Amaya is of a time when instead of complaining about the layout/font/noise on a web page, the user might just mashup their own version and look at that instead.

If inside the browser means as part of the browser application, then Amaya already has it inside the browser. On the other hand if it means in a browser tab, then there's all sorts of issues with cross site security and such that make mashing up several pages difficult...and in modern browser designs increasingly impossible.

Okay, get mad at a word.
Sounds like Apple's underinvestment in mobile Safari makes it currently impossible to implement this well in web pages in iOS, and that the AMP team is working with Apple to fix their broken platform. I don't see how this isn't Apple's bug.

Do you think Google wants to hijack the URL and add extra chrome? They don't. They want the absolute fastest performance which requires prerendering which requires hijacking the URL. (This seems like a bad tradeoff to everyone on HN.)
Great show with great scripts, characters, and actors who portrayed them. I'd didn't care for season 2 when I was watching it but came around to really liking it when I'd finished the series. My favorite part, though, was the Hampsterdam scenes. It was as close as we get to actually legalizing drugs. I just can't call it best show ever when comparing against The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, and Mad Men. They're all in the top 4.

Trains are displacing jets in China. You can go Shanghai to Beijing by train in 4 hours and 55 minutes for 550 RMB. The same transit by jet takes 2 hours and 25 minutes and costs 615 RMB (which is the cheapest ticket, the average is more like 800). The checking process for trains in China is amazing. You arrive at least 5 minutes early. Walk through a huge metal detector and luggage scanner. Then you are in a huge room. When your train is ready you board. Usually they have at least 5 ticket checking stations, and then the train will have at ten or twenty doors for fast efficient parallel boarding.

Anyway, I love traveling by train.
This seems to be the next phase in American business "best practices" that started with outsourcing (very cheap workers who are easy to fire), continued with contractors (cheaper than employees and easy to fire), and now continues with teleworkers (not really cheap but still easy to fire).

This is the biggest reason the US needs single-payer healthcare: Tying healthcare to employment when there is no such thing as long-term employment means healthcare only works for rich people.
Exactly. It's an artifact from a time when the grand vision of the Web was to be much more participatory and collaborative, much like how we think of wiki sites today. In those days the goal was emphatically not to create yet another channel for the unidirectional flow of content from producers to consumers.

Why don't I see a significant difference then? The only thing I've noticed about AMP sites is the pain of trying to navigate them, alongside the dual top bars (reminds me of toolbars back in the day) and impaired functionality.
But how often are snarky but otherwise mild-mannered technocrats like yourself able to set the agenda for internet regulation, as opposed to actual demagogues like (in varying degrees) Macron, May, Erdogan, and Putin?

Your "regulate, regulate, regulate" chant about the evil influences of the American internet will in practice drive more censorship then privacy protection – even when, as with the Tories' new internet-regulation manifesto, the censorship is itself dressed up in "data protection" guise.
Absolutely no in depth analysis of the problem. More of a biopic of Ajit Pai making him look like some kind of hero of resistance.

It's not shocking but AMP enforces it.

People talk a lot of trash about AMP, but until there's another solution that allows me to go to a news website and actually read it, I'm an AMP supporter.
That extra chrome didn't even include a way to see the original URL until after much squealing. It did, however, include left/right swipe to other people's content. The MVP that rolled out fairly clearly shows who benefits.

An edge cache of an optimized page is plenty fast without preload. Images, in fact, can be preloaded cross domain if that is really needed.

You know it's a mess when the New York Times has to inject a "sorry this video doesn't work on AMP pages, visit our site" message on stories.
