You also need to account for losing internet connectivity. I had a demo before I knew what I was doing where I went to the customer site and they set us up in some sort of dead zone, essentially could not connect to either guest wifi or mobile hotspot to show the product for most of the time or when it did connect the lag was so bad it seemed like the product was incredibly slow.

Most places will not allow you to connect via a wired connection to their network for good reason.

I then started tripping all over myself because I had not prepared for this situation. I did not land the customer.

If possible, running on local host is the way to go.

It was a character building experience.
Thanks!

There's no real optimization, everything is just done from the bottom up: a box is large enough to contain its rows, rows are large enough to contain their "cells" (which are just the boxes the next level down).

There is some padding that is fixed, and some (the "handles" on either side of a row) that scales down with depth, though at a different rate than the text which is the main control over box size. Handles disappear entirely first, as it isn't possible to click on a row directly once it gets too small (instead a click will zoom in on the node).

While pinch zooming some effort is made to try to keep focus on the same object, but that's just a matter of keeping the object in the center of the zoom in roughly the same place on screen.

Happy to answer more questions here or by email (agashlin gmail), and I'd love to hear about your project.
Interestingly, assuming it works well, that's kind of exactly what I want as a user. Whenever I'm searching for one of the following (which form a large fraction of my searches):

- definition of a word
- lyrics of a song
- summary of a movie
- phone number and/or address of a business
- distance between places
- unit or currency conversions
- weather

I have no desire to "click through" to anything. I want my piece of information, a raw fact. That I have to select from various providers, each with their own (non-standardized) UX and possibly various "value-added" crap like ads and popups, is at best a nuisance, at worst a big time-waster. In this way, the "content providers" are becoming annoying middlemen between me and the information I seek.

So while I don't want to see Google monopolizing the Internet, I also don't like the model in which information is served by individual web pages (which can, and do, disappear all the time and get replaced by something different). So I wonder - how can we promote and develop the open web, while also making it better and more productive for people?

Maybe if people served data streams instead of web pages, things would be easier? Related, I'm all for every kind of way of taking control over the way a page looks away from their authors. The Web is increasingly becoming a place for designers to show off, and this wastes both users' time and resources. Ad blockers, noscript and reader modes are huge wins in this space, but I think we need more. Maybe some self-hosted auto scrappers that would help me answer my information queries without actually visiting full pages?
So why not just release AMP for use on domains as a reference implementation (with server side rendering for pre-cache), measure speed instead of implementation, and not use the google cache.

They want the Google nav buttons on your site to keep the user inside their experience
I believe reddit does something like that where they include only a portion of a thread with a big “view full thread” button.

I think that’s a good idea, but I fear some users won’t realize there’s more or may not understand the abrupt change in layout/design/etc.

Well that's the way the knowledge economy works! It's based on your knowledge. So obvs people with more knowledge have better opportunities. It's how it works today except lots of people are left out.

The difference is, with everyone educated, now you have a highly knowledgeable populace who are capable of solving harder problems, starting business to solve these problems, etc. I would rather have 1000 people working on Cancer research than at the DMV pushing paper or laying brick. Things machines can do.

We would have a net improvement in people's lives and the human race.

It's like a win win for everyone.

That is not how it was in the 80's, as the author of this article mentioned. High-tech companies had more intelligent strategies then; they knew that people are the real value of high-tech companies, so it doesn't matter where you put them when you put them all together and give them the tools they need to be creative and build. Why not let them build something in areas with cleaner air, less crime, and more physical room to grow?

All of the companies he mentioned own the land and buildings in these 'burbs where they grew their companies. That is why Apple is building their space ship HQ today... they established equity and are now sitting on more piles of cash than they know what to do with. Their employees own their homes in the areas surrounding them, thus building affluence. In fact, it could probably be further proven that when a company does own its land and buildings, it's inherently stronger and more likely to be able to withstand upturns and downturns in economic timelines (thus giving employees even more incentive to work a fledgling company out of hard times).

There's probably a neat little equation to be written to pithily show the relation. Maybe I will write something up later and post it on ecosteader...

Something about the summation of rents (Sigma) paid by all team members (T[x]) in a startup as a function of runway building. To lengthen the runway, the Sigma cannot grow faster than a company's ability to acquire the top talent needed to build out that runway. There's an inflection point somewhere where you can neither grow, nor afford to attract and hire the top talent because of the wasted and sunk costs in rents and achieving "brand recognition" by being in a place like San Francisco. You can't pay the best people enough to relocate there when the probability of overall success is hinged upon getting more and more VC to sustain there.

Well, a lot of historians say that the USA's economy flourished post-war not necessarily because they "won" it (hard to define concept these days), but because everybody else's manufacturing infrastructure was completely flattened.

Why do you think the USA automobile market exploded post-war? It's because the two biggest automobile manufactures - Germany and Japan - were flattened to smouldering ashes and took around 30-40 years to recover.

That's why the USA auto industry declined on an enormous scale after the 80's, because in the end the USA was never automobile king. There was never the "good old Detroit days". It was just a temporary market vacuum that the USA capitalised on, while Germany and Japan, who simply were better at making cars (debatable of course, but they make more money and that's probably the most reliable metric here), were rebuilding their entire country from catastrophe.

Yes, in the 80s, companies built out in the suburbs/exurbs in part because it was cheaper. But they also built out there because relatively few of their potential employees had much interest in living in the city.

I worked for one of those suburban computer companies in the 80s/90s and almost no one I knew commuted out from the city even though many people I worked with had equally long commutes (45 minutes to an hour) in other directions.

FWIW, I've had a lot of personal success with just plain SSH managing the resumption of sessions. The trick is to not send keepalives from the client, and to not time out idle sessions on the server. When you can control both of these, you don't need extra tooling to resume sessions.

That said, it's not as friendly to IP changes, nor does it provide predictive typing, so there's definitely something to be said for the value of tools such as these.

1) A city can't survive if the people needed to work the jobs to make it an appealing place to live can't afford to live within commute distance.

2) The more affordable places tend to have less economic opportunity (which is part of why they're in lower demand and more affordable in the first place), so moving there isn't necessarily a win.

How to Have an Efficient Work Ethic to Be Successful

Ask HN: If you and your spouse both work from home, does it help your marriage?
For the sake of this question, let's assume that working from home also includes a spouse who is doing unpaid work (e.g. caring for children in the home or other homemaker-type stuff).
"Everyone" meaning everyone who wants one.

The average family making average wages in Tokyo, can afford a brand new detached home inside central Tokyo.

The same is not true in any of the top 50 cities in the US. Even the smaller unpopular cities, even the cities that have slower population growth than Tokyo, or have cheaper land than Tokyo.
My initial guess is that it has roughly a neutral effect in the aggregate, but that on an individual level, if it has any consistent effect, it probably slightly amplifies whatever dynamics are already present in the marriage, i.e. it helps happy marriages and is unhelpful for troubled marriages.

Reasons why it might help happy marriages: It allows you to spend more time together, even if you're not technically working together. You can have meals with your spouse. And it fosters feelings of security, e.g. "If either one of us were to have a serious emergency, the other would be present."

Reasons why it might be unhelpful for troubled marriages: If the spouses are working separately but in close proximity, there's just enough togetherness for each spouse to irritate the other, but not enough togetherness that they can actually work on their problems.

Maybe I don't understand AMP, but what value does it bring over having a very lean CSS and keep JS to the strict minimum? Last time I checked, a plain vanilla HTML page with a bit of embedded CSS (and perhaps a few async JS functions for stats) is lightning fast even on mobile.
Yes, but before that, make sure you marry someone with a good earning potential :-)
Yeah but Akamai is optional. Google's CDN / cache in AMP isn't. Big difference.
AFAIK the definition of a Ponzi scheme is a fake investment where no actual investment in productive activities takes place and all profits are paid out from increasing intakes.

Bitcoin matches this definition exactly since pumping up the currency is not connected to any real world productive activity.

Ethereum has some theoretical practical uses but most of the ICO nonsense is pure Ponzi.

Defining a Ponzi can be difficult because in order for something to truly be a Ponzi scheme it must be engaged in with fraudulent intent.

Really stupid people who "invest" in really stupid things and waste their money on useless stupid activity don't count as a Ponzi because they don't have fraudulent intent. They are just really stupid.

Whatever participants in digital currencies are not in the first category are in the second category so it isn't much to be excited about.

What exactly do you mean by "central Tokyo" here? I'm fairly sure the average family cannot buy a detached house in Ginza for example.
Interesting fact: the best card terminals, if they are connected to a phone line rather than the merchant's broadband internet connection, use a 1200-baud modem. You would think that this would be slower, but the amount of data to transfer is relatively small. This means that the transaction time is dominated by time it takes to dial the modem and establish a connection rather than the time it takes to send the data. A 1200 baud modem takes much less time to negotiate a connection than a 56k modem, because it doesn't have to check the quality of the line as thoroughly. Reliability is better on noisy phone lines as well, and I'm sure they're cheaper. It's a win all around, but it's not something they mention on the spec sheet because it looks terrible.

Of course that has nothing to do with the chip-based authentication.
> most mid-sized and large companies really do own their suburban office buildings / HQ buildings here

It's been a running joke for a while that the easiest way to be a blockchain consultant is to charge $50k to say "you don't need blockchain for that". Not it seems the 2017 version is to charge 1M to say "you don't need a special token for that".

ICOs are not the micro-investing many would like to see and the use of a special tokens distinct from ETH is rather contrived.

That said, if people are willing to throw money at it, so be it. But the amounts are quite frankly insane.

Some people get that impression because the majority of ETH was premined. What they miss is that most of that was sold to the general public in the presale. Only 12% of it was not; half of that went to team members (some now sold) and the other half to the nonprofit foundation which is continuing development of the protocol.
