What about proving the felony in court and make him pay for hurting shareholder value?

The upside of following courts and presumption of innocence is, you can tell your next CEO, "This won't happen to you because you'll respect the law, and what's more, if you respect the law we'll even respect the presumption of innocence and keep you in your job much longer than at Mozilla's and GitHub's. And you'll be clean of controversy when you leave, so it will be much easier for you to jump on an even bigger CEO position."
I never really understood why google amp is bad. Can anyone explain the reason why people think its ethically bad?

bad math teachers and bad math education approaches also turn away males/boys too. also I suspect some people just have more of an affinity for math, than others, regardless of gender or race. let's be blind to gender and race and just talk about improving math/STEM for everyone
Blame Amazon for that. It seems like to me, all the people with major cloud ops experience from building AWS are all now based in Seattle. If you want to poach that talent, you either have to convince them to move to Seattle, or open an office in Seattle. Companies opt to move to Seattle, which compounds the problem.
And how do you plan to do this when no mobile browsers suppport extensions?
So we need to rethink how we teach and how we think. Like approaching a problem of gender bias by assuming that's the only root issue, which it obviously isn't here, since there's also the problem of bad teachers, in general.

Here's one change you may benefit from: exclude solutions that exclude a class of people. Otherwise, we'll need to wait for bad teachers to die out before a solution excluding them can really take hold & that's not a possible outcome because no system is perfect.

Edit: more specifically, we need to immediately start training teachers how to handle their anxiety,which means we probably need to qualitatively study their anxieties. Without shaming them or excluding them or threatening their livelihoods.
I think you have the wrong idea about how autism manifests itself.

Not really an expert, but I don't see any good in strengthening Google's monoculture.
I'm trying to imagine the uproar if Apple had done AMP instead of Google. Somehow AMP has some staunch defenders, but everything, and I mean everything about how it's been approached has felt very anti-web and pro-Google. The overall concept may be sound, but the implementation, and the inability to escape it, has significantly hurt my opinion of Google. In fact, I no longer use Google's search because of it.

Somehow, the commenters actually complain about the interviewer interrupting, as if his questions were being answered in seriousness to begin with.

The energy in this interview is not of science and innovation. It is a hormonal rollercoaster of bare minimum information exchange, through the lines of unmitigated cultural queues, one-ups and buzzsyntax.

I had an ok-ish math teacher in middle-school, not bad but not good either, long story short she didn't made to really start understanding and trying to like maths. But I was incredibly lucky that my highschool teacher was the opposite of that, he really made me understand maths (and logical expressions, among other things) and he's definitely one of the main reasons why I chose the STEM route. When I entered computer science school I didn't even know how to program, I learned that afterwards, but I was only able to do that because said teacher had taught me how to approach these type of problems.

So another article was posted a couple weeks ago about AMP. One advantage I have seen is that you can get around intranet blocking sites if they support AMP. Besides obviously speed this is the only advantage I have found.

Worth reading the HN posts linked in the article. IMO it's a band-aid for a larger problem - a problem that Google is now incentivised not to address through less hegemonic means.
Not only that, but both sources must be printed at the same aspect ratio and DPI.
Plus pageviews are done on Google's servers, so Bing doesn't know which website has many views and which doesn't.
Naw, we have an attention economy here. This is a zero-sum situation. Newcomers have to compete on the same terms specifically because all the advertising noise from others drowns them out unless they advertise too.

Google lists plain facts like the existence of a business without any advertising even. If all the restaurants in a town decided in solidarity to never advertise on Google, people could still look up the restaurant directory and learn about the options. All the restaurants would save money. But when some advertise at Google and got prominence, they capture more of the market, which forces others to do more advertising in order to not lose market share.

And a restaurant having their own website is informational, but that's not what we mean by online advertising. We mean when third parties pay to have their ad promoted to people who aren't directly connecting with their business.

If all third-party advertising went away, it would be such a shock to the internet economy that it's hard to describe. But ignoring that aspect, we would see net GAINS in new businesses being able to have people notice their products or in customers being able to find the products and resources they want.
I think really hits the nail on the head. It also may be the foundation for why we find things like neural networks more usable for things like vision than directly formalizing the approach. In other words, you could use an approach like coq to verify the neural net software calculates correctly, but you couldn't use to formalize what it calculates.
I think the argument is that although autism itself might be detrimental, the broad autism phenotype may have proved beneficial in human history.
Very true, but you can start with the egregious violations such as AMP.
Man, your comment is so far off base and patronizing, that I think you're the sad loser here.

The ex-admin in question probably understood the impending customer harm. But the customers are the veins of a company- without them, they're not a company at all. The ex-admin just played dirty- something that he thought was the only way to win a lopsided battle against a force much greater than he.

In David V Goliath, Goliath was taken down... with a slingshot. A weapon. And he's celebrated as someone over coming a stacked challenge. The customers were the ex-admins slingshot. The difference is that the law doesn't allow this behavior
If you don't support neoliberal fantasies, your comments probably aren't welcome here.
Because the disadvantages (vendor lock-in, not as open, etc) outweigh the advantages (lighter pages, which you can just do without AMP anyway).

I think claims about "the spectrum" are often overblown. Most software developers do not exhibit any traits linked to autism.
The EU have in large part shifted their attention to Google (and Facebook) at this point.

Microsoft still takes occasional scruitiny as well, though not nearly as much AFAIR.
It's hard to say what's going wrong without looking at actual code, but here are a few anti patterns to look out for:

DON'T use actions like methods or setters.

DO try to think of actions as simple events.

DON'T describe the -effect- of an action in its payload.

DO describe the -cause- of potential effects in the payload, and let your reducers handle the rest.

DON'T think of stores as singletons that you can poke at from the UI.

DO think of stores as convenient "views" into the full history of events in your app.

DON'T use actions as a way of announcing that some piece of state has changed. That's what `subscribe` is for.

>>using eXtreme programming tools like pair programming or code reviews to avoid having people slip into a frenzy of their individual domain / help keep obvious bugs out.

Wtf does this even mean? What are you talking about. If the bugs are obvious why do you need extreme programming to find them? What frenzy? Extreme programming is garbage.
34, software developer, India.
Me and my wife, own three houses, worth at least 200k in current downmarket, i would estimate. Have other long term investments of around 20k in equity markets, around 25k in cash and a mortage of around 25k. Annual salary around 65k before taxes.

Real estate is down currently in India, I feel i have locked up all my wealth there. Now saving funds to finance further studies in near future.
For me code is like a story which I can play forward and backwards and also pause in my mind. Before I write code, I think of multiple stories and I try to choose the one which fits best into the big picture.
yes, it was an amazing game! the cavs finally showed up. the warriors are so good (at 3's and dunks and everything else) that it took that level of super-human effort by the cavs to win. they had over 80 points by half and 100 halfway through the 3rd quarter. the warriors had an average game (for them), scoring 116 (!).
#1 - Apple has a quarter of a trillion dollars in cash. You would think they could afford intelligent, reasonable app review teams. Clearly they don't bother, based on the complaints from honest developers and evidence of pure scams like this.

#2 - Average computer/phone users are willfully ignorant. I would say stupid, but that's a judgement call (even though I think it's true). Someone with knowledge can advise them, but they cannot be bothered with all that fuss. They'd rather ignore sound advice and push buttons. After all, look at the who runs the country and the complacence of many of its people.

Have you ever had a friend who was a lawyer? Did you ever get some traffic ticket and think, "Hey, I'll ask Bob if he can help me handle this!"? I'm guilty of this once in a while. But "average users" are guilty of doing this to technical people all the fucking time. And when we advise them of behaviors to change to avoid future incidents, they nod and agree, but then repeat the stupid behavior later.

Sorry for the rant, but perhaps it's time to just start replying to scammed/screwed users with, "Oh wow, that's really unfortunate. I guess you'll have to go buy a new phone/computer." Maybe that will jar them into actually using their brains.

That we're not all programming in machine code is evidence that some abstractions are useful.

The most vital abstraction is that most software is blithely unaware of the physical construct embodying it.

Abstraction isn't the enemy. I think much of what we call good "software engineering" is identifying, designing, and implementing the "right" abstraction.

But people don't, that's the point of AMP.
Exactly by the time you could formally prove the application is correct, the market will have moved on to something different. Right now the combination of quick to develop and mostly correct seems to be more desirable to companies then slow to develop and formally correct. The success of languages like JavaScript and python show this.
> All on non-Intel foundry processes. That was unimaginable 10 years ago.

Not really. 15 years ago, AMD was outperforming Intel at a lower price.
> The autists I know of have no special skills or magical insights

This is not necessarily a counter-argument since it is limited to the sample size of those you know.

The argument supposes that there would be enough benefit to the upside traits of autism disorders to keep the genes in the gene pool.

Also, it's not clear how the genes work or how the spectrum of autism-related conditions might have offered beneficial side-effects to group survival.

Interestingly, I think it follows that only in animals with "culture" would we find such selection. I wonder if it occurs in dolphins or primates, etc.

If we had access to a time machine, would we want to suggest to the IETF standards-makers that they specify a longer nonce than 96 bits?
Do you think there would be an uproar? Apple introduced reading mode, built-in content/ad blocking, etc. AMP actually fits in the profile of Apple -- prioritizing a fast, usable solution.

This author notes that they "feel bad" about consuming AMP content. Which is extremely weird given that content creators intentionally volunteer their content to AMP (aside from this user who got famous claiming that Google was stealing their content because they had enabled a Wordpress plug-in haphazardly).

If Google blacklisted non-AMP content, or even just deranked it, sure there's an argument, but as of yet this notion that it's some content theft is quite strange.

Google's intention with AMP is obvious, and obviously not anti-web: Facebook is becoming a primary medium where users are accessing a lot of content. I personally read all news via Facebook now, where they've integrated it heavily with a built-in browser and now instant articles (Facebook's AMP). Compared to this, the traditional web is just an obnoxious mess, not because of the web but because of the abuse that AMP restricts.

Rejected for what? A job? A date? University admissions? Visa? Nightclub entrance?

I mean, if you're applying for a job in cryptography research, then yeah, it's quite possibly fair (or at least reasonable) to reject someone who doesn't know number theory. If the guy/girl of your dreams rejected you for the same reason, then no, arguably it's not "fair" but then "fair" doesn't really enter into it, does it?
I'm not commenting on "ethics", but I can say why I dislike AMP as a user: I want to interact directly with a website, not through some third party. I especially don't want that third party observing my interactions or collecting data about them. I also don't want to allow that third party to run code (javascript) on my computer.

As a website designer (barely), basically the same reasons: I don't want my site under control of a third party, I don't want my users to have to run javascript to view my site, and I don't want them to have to consent to (possibly) being tracked. Most ironically, my site probably accomplishes more of the stated AMP goals (due to being pure html and light) than it would when AMPed up.

Quick edit: I also worry it can contribute to breaking or obfuscating hyperlinks, which is similar to the issue raised in this article. Having hyperlinks work correctly is crucial to the design of the web. I had similar problems when sites like Google search started making their search links redirect to some intermediate site before going to the actual link, and back when I used Google search I had an extension that removed them so I could e.g. right-click and copy the link.
But Amazon and Google are power-abusive sordid companies that make GREAT products. In the past, it was easier to recognize Microsoft's bullshit because their power-abuse was combined with shitty products.

I think it was Eben Moglen I heard point out that the places in which software freedom has won over Microsoft turned out to be easier than might have been suspected 20 years ago because it was easy enough for free software to outdo Microsoft garbage. Now, with Google, Amazon, and Apple the power issues remain but the products they make are so much better, it's much harder to compete.

It was easy for Firefox to beat IE, not so easy to beat Chrome. And lots of people who were pissed off about Microsoft's power abuses give Google a pass because it's easier to go explore Google Earth and ignore the issues compared with just frustration about Microsoft's shitty software. Unfortunately, Microsoft is just as into abusing their power but has learned to be a bit less shitty in their product quality…
US education needs a revamp.

1. Establish nation-wide professional education colleges(the Normal Universities), students graduate to be teachers, government shall fund the colleges as much as possible, including lower tuition for students as long as they are into teachers profession.

2. boost pay for teachers, make teacher a proud profession socially and financially.

Both 1 and 2 are popular in Asia countries, it's nothing revolutionary. Our public education system here is so sub-par and good teachers are so hard to find, all the time.
And fire + bird is Phoenix.

Microsoft was ruled an abusing monopoly (though the remedies were exceedingly limited).

Google is presently operating under a US DoJ consent decree. I'd have to check what the status for Facebook is. IBM saw its court actions. AT&T was a regulated, monopoly-abusing entity from the 1910s, and the only reason you're making heavy use of Unix-based systems today is that AT&T's 1949 consent decree (one of several in the company's history):

I hope they shut down Tsukiji and settle this as soon as possible. Most people here are sickened by this endless political drama, which has very little to do with their daily life yet took so much news coverage and debating.
That's how it was for me. For most of my education, the focus in math was very practical. There were proofs in set theory and geometry, for sure. But math was mostly about calculating.

Then, at university, the focus in math shifted to pure theory. I was lost. Totally lost. And then I discovered engineering math, and was happy again.

So anyway, I wonder if I'd have been better off without so much practical math.

From my perspective as a browser developer, AMP is an unfortunate disincentive to make anything faster unless Chrome already did it. Google bans things that are slow in Chrome from AMP, even if there's no good reason for them to be slow in the first place.

An example is off-main-thread animations. There's no intrinsic reason why animating, say, background-color should be slow. A lot of sites empirically do this sort of thing. But that animation is banned in AMP [1], because it's slow in Chrome (and in other browsers). Even if I work on making it faster, it'll stay banned until Chrome catches up (due to Chrome's market share), thus negating the incentive to make it faster in the first place. Without this competition, Web developers and users lose.

People like to overstate amount of people on the spectrum in programming - and it likely went down as it gained popularity. High functioning autistic are easy bullying target for "alfa geeks" and can't really cope well in companies where culture fit is important. They also have harder time coping with time pressure, working in open space (noise, disruptions), tight agile cooperation (this is two sided hell), have hard time controlling emotions (go into rage), have hard time deal with changes of plans, unexpected and plenty of other situations currently present.

I guess it is less bad for them to be in programming then in marketing, but normals still have it better.

Also, they are good in some thigs - great with routine, rarely make mistake, rarely inattentive, great memory. Then again, as a rule, they have less good abstract thinking which limits them a lot, goes into rage because programmer on unrelated project used slightly different code style.

If we are talking about people who are normally diagnosable, diagnosis is not exactly shock for people who work with them. You may not be able to guess diagnosis, but you are aware that the person is off.

I think that you still do not get it. I am not talking about only 10k copies. I am also not talking about this specific case. I am also not talking about blocking all web apps.

I am talking about the risk that an app can be blocked.

For example if UK demands that chat applications with end to end encryption must be blocked then it is easy to do so. They just have to demand Apple to do it (and threaten with prohibition in case they consider to refuse).
Regarding 5, no, it's five bytes (b8 01 00 00 00) for movl $1,%eax. If you actually have a 64-bit immediate, just the immediate itself would be 8 bytes, and the actual instruction is 10 bytes.
