Can you elaborate? sites that dont implement AMP still appear in google news and even above AMP results as far as I can tell
Hard to fake a heartfelt, mortified apology. That's the thing - if I'd been deliberately snubbed, I wouldn't fuss, because generally when that happens there is a reason for it. But one doesn't receive an apology when that happens, either - especially not such a shamefaced one.

This was just that Facebook's walled garden expanded to surround my erstwhile social circle, and once that happens, you maintain your presence in that circle on Facebook's terms or not at all.
As I understand it Google has stated it does not penalize or boost AMP pages. Do you have evidence to support this accusation?
There is absolutely zero correlation between GitHub stars and employability. None.
I recommend you try foobar2000. I remember trying to play MP3 files on 486 DLC 120MHz. WinAmp couldn't handle playing MP3 smoothly on that, but foobar worked fine.
A lot of other countries have lead, really; Australia was very late in doing this. It was in France in the 90s, of course, and showed up in most of Europe by the mid-noughties.
Google's approach to design has always seemed to be to wall off a bunch of teams in separate soundproof rooms with no communication with each other, meetings, or contact with the outside world. Also they're only allowed to use iPhones.

This is the only way I can imagine we ended up with 437 different messaging apps and counting, and the problem you described.
Adding enough storage capacity to the electrical grid to handle the day/night fluctuations in solar is currently in feasibly expensive. Adding enough storage for minute by minute fluctuations is pretty easy, though.
Governments are not a conscious entity that is separate from society. They are institutions run by a collection parties with numerous competing and aligning interests, and with extensive stakes in society at large. They're not going to do something as massively destructive to society at large as ban encryption and prohibit all microprocessors lacking a back door.
Seems like they do when it fixes serious bugs, a quick search yields e.g. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3064209/june-2015-i... ("This update fixes several issues with Intel CPUs that could cause computer crashes or functions incorrectly.")
Do most people have download speeds greater than 5MB/s?
Stores in the US do that here now. It's also incredibly annoying when it tells you to insert the chip and then decide "oh THAT's how you want to pay? Swipe it instead" after telling you to insert it.
As pointed out in the article only AMP results get placed in the carousel at the top of the search results. That's definitely an example of boosting AMP. They could generate carousel entries for non-AMP pages with og:title and og:image just fine so there's not a compelling technical reason.
So lets say AMP was not invented. Web pages have been notoriously slow on mobile for a decade. Where is this open standard to make pages lod faster? where is W3 or Mozilla? Its been a decade. if there was a competituve open standard I would be against AMP but there isnt.
Crypto transitioned from OpenSSL to LibreSSL
We've used Readymag for the website, will check how to enable it.
I am not an English native speaker, but for me saying it like "Effective civil disobedience" seems like undervaluing what Alexandra is doing as this goes greatly punished in the USA and allies. I think we all know the story of Aaron Swartz and others. This is not the kind of civil disobedience where the government/institutions say "oh yeah, you were right, thank you". It is the kind of disobedience that will break you in all possible ways and then you are forgotten in a hole. It is the kind of story that we should all be ashamed of and luckily she is out of reach (as some others actually doing good for humanity).
x2. Explosives that used ambient oxygen to burn the fuel need to be finely tuned. Blowing up a propane tank (regardless of size) gets you a big fireball.

I find the fear of flammable gasses to be irrationally excessive. Sure there's more stored potential energy than the batteries under the floor of your Prius or the smartphone in your pocket but by nature of being compressed the storage tank is very robust and unlike batteries they do not include their own ignition source.

I don't even know what AMP is for, but I know if I click an AMP result on my phone, it won't load anything but a white screen. So one of my content blockers must be working...
You specifically said the fix might be to permanently disable HT.

The TSX situation was indeed unfortunate, I have one of the affected CPUs. But it was a new feature that was broken, not something that used to work, so the bug's impact was less serious, and disabling the feature didn't have too much of an impact.
What made PCs successful was the hordes of cheap IBM PC compatible machines. Without it, the world of home computers would be a lot different.
I personally agree NetPen is the least demanding. Not because there aren't incredible netpen testers nor that it can be challenging, but generally you have a lot of attack vectors across a very complex piece of infrastructure, and you just need to find the weakest link to win.

Compare that to say, cryptography or code review, which typically require fairly deep specific knowledge and a lot of intense focus, as opposed to broader knowledge and a willingness to try a lot of different things.

Most findings in netpen reports I see are basically that something wasn't configured correctly, or that one of the 10k employees had a weak password, or someone got phished. I often chuckle but rarely am surprised or learn too many new things.
Well, yes, if you're asking are there more or less of those things we'd call "protests", then it's not clear at all that there are any more or less than at some other point in time. I mean, I saw a protest on the street the other day: it was two guys and a policeman…

You'll notice however that is a far cry from a representative summary of my point.

Anyway, there are people who've researched this, notably Jonathan Haidt. They created a website to talk about the problem here: https://heterodoxacademy.org/ . And they think that there is a problem of shrinking viewpoint diversity in the social sciences. My experience is that it's gotten worse, but we don't seem to be able to agree on that.
The interest rate in Japan is currently -0.1% and has been since the start of 2016.

Because the folks staying at a single company for decades or just moving around various "Programmer 1" and "Programmer 2" jobs are not good developers. In my experience socially and professionally, the best developers are very quick to move to another position at another firm. Whether it's for the money, the better title, fewer working hours in the week, or whatever I'm not sure is the point, but that they're not sticking around waiting for their current circumstances to change.

And most companies only have 3-4 levels of developer before you start leading teams, mentoring, etc. Even those that specifically have architecture tracks where you can do more senior-level technical work without any management or teaching overhead will only have a few of those positions as well.

Stagnation is death, and maintaining the same position for a decade is a pretty good definition of stagnation.
> I feel like if I'd learned web development five years ago I wouldn't know anything about it today.

This is a wrong assumption. Web development just gives the feeling of moving fast, it's not really the case. The foundation of web development is roughly the same as 5y ago. Most things from the http protocol, web servers, data storage, authentication, websockets etc. still works the same. Give or take a few UX and state-management tools and we're not that far into the future.

Also due to the huge investments in the web during the past decade(s) things should get slower because of legacy issues. Think fe. how long it's taking browser vendors to dump Flash or to adopt WebRTC.
Pay Attention to Your Active Record Methods
Two books cover it extensively, Apollo[0] and Red Moon Rising[1] - I can't remember the exact date, but at some point even Albert Einstein wrote a letter opposing Von Braun.

By the mid-50s his history had been all washed over and forgotten, and it wasn't until the 90s that the issue was broached again.

There is no reason for the coverup to continue today or for anybody to still believe it - there is a lot of testimony about Von Braun overseeing hangings and the deaths of thousands of slave workers. Had he not been useful for other purposes it is almost certain that he would have hung at Nuremberg.

Google: What Makes a Highly Effective Manager (Not Technical Expertise)
It depends not only on the POS itself (old models vs. new ones) but on the kind of connection.

Here in Italy, besides "portable" POS that have a SIM card and go through GSM/GPRS (and are "good speed, but not that much fast") now also 3g/4g, the "corded version" can be:

1) Dial in (analogic)

2) Dial in (ISDN)

3) IP connected

The difference between #2 and #1 is like 4/5 times faster ISDN vs. analogic, and the IP (provided that there are no network issues) is instantaneous.

I would say:

1) 5-20 seconds

2) 1-5 seconds (and GPRS is roughly the same, 3g/4g is on the lower side)

3) 0-1 seconds (really, the sheer moment you press the green button, the receipt starts being printed)
I will say this. I am currently a student working in a project and I cannot afford any kind of subscription and my institution does not subscribe to the journals I need for reference.
Without Scihub my project is doomed. I find this a real bottleneck for me.
Inch thick is the same as road plate and means nothing when there's tens of thousands of tons of ship involved. Freight ships are built as light as possible. Steel that you don't have to float leaves room for more cargo weight and increases fuel economy.
> Where is this open standard to make pages lod faster?

Not filling a page of what is effectively 80KB static text-content with 20MBs of JS, fonts, tracking-code and other "assets" would be a good start.

The web isn't slow. People deliberately create slow web-pages because they care more about user-tracking and "fancy" technology than they care about user-experience.

And making Google a pre-requisite for any web-page is NOT the solution to that problem. That's the wrong way around. We need less tracking. Less JS. Less Google.
However, this is still true if you get rid of the cruft
Or maybe this is how it's always been and you're just getting older?
- Open source projects (the more GitHub stars, the better).
- Tech blog (the more followers, the better).

What other professions do this? Do accountants need to do pro-bono work in their spare time to be hireable? Do lawyers just sue people for fun and blog about it?
It sounds like you may have an opportunity to offload some of that power-user/consultant content to contractors who just integrate your platform in their gigs. Or, operate a linearly-scaling in-house consultancy and have your platform be a means to optimize revenue per employee.

The CRUD application is definitely not the hard part, but it can be the long part.
Since I'm outside the US and couldn't find that info in the thread - just how slow these payments are? To me, waiting these 2 seconds for confirmation already seems slow.
Yeah, everyone can do non-bloated websites that load fast and look good, but nobody does. Market doesn't value those? I don't know.

AMP is a good idea, unfortunately it needs strong actors like Google or Twitter to push it.
Thanks for making me aware of it. I've been looking for something to get my 6-year-old nephew that can be set up to be kid safe, and I hadn't really thought about the Fire tablets until now. How's their durability?
If everyone creates fast websites that don't suck, Google will consider AMP a success and kill the format.
wondering if all this tech is only for rockets or he has a plan to build the next generation of "airplanes" for traveling.
But thats true about almost anything that the people who know how to do something are miniscule compared to those who doesn't. Whether it's design, UX, business, entrepreneurship, football, tennis etc. Hardly an argument for anything.

So you are really back to what you like not an actual argument against guitar solos.
TIL, IBM 360 is the reason why bytes are 8-bits long. See: https://youtu.be/1FtEGIp3a_M?t=1m49s
> I'd welcome some suggestions of games he can play,

The BBC have some games under the CBeebies brand.

LEGO have a few which are somewhat enjoyable.

Dogbyte have "blocky highways" (and when he's a bit older "blocky roads").
Well, I remember a lot of fun with my father Spectrum. He attached a board with a SPO256 chip and we had the Speccy talking us with weird accent (We are Spaniard.)
An easy fix to this is to not apply for jobs where you get these ridiculous questions despite the 15+ years of experience on your resume. Unless you're going to be implementing your own data structures and/or algorithms, of course.
I'm not remotely suggesting the ad hominem was more comment-worthy than the maleficence of the rentier academic publishing market. I commented on both, but if that's against a rule somewhere let me know and I'll delete the lesser.
The text was still fast. And I NEVER saw had the text disappear for a second while the page updated the font... The text was still fast, and the developers assumed you had a crappy modem in at least 80% of cases. The web is getting slower.
If you know C at the level of K&R, a good start would be learning from Bryant and O'Hallaron's book: http://csapp.cs.cmu.edu/

From there, you would be well served by working through Hennessy and Patterson's Computer Architecture and Computer Organization and Design.

In parallel, you could work through a book on Operating Systems, maybe even playing with the code for a toy system (e.g., http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~remzi/OSTEP/ or https://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.828/2016/xv6.html).

An alternative or perhaps parallel approach would be to play the assembly games put out by Zachtronics.
You can't exploit something that doesn't exist, hence they block it.
KDBX4 is a priority indeed, but we only have limited resources. We hoped to get it into 2.2.0, but it just wasn't possible. We really appreciate your patch and will make sure it lands in 2.3.0. It's not forgotten.
I love this term "blockchain-denialist."

But yeah, the whole concept is stupid and the only reason it is getting any traction is because the traditional financial system is just as bad, and there is way to much free cash in the hands of "investors" who can't even tie their own shoe laces.
> Edit: Why the downvoted?

HN isn't as bad as Reddit, but there ARE a handful of touchy subjects that will get you swamped by downvotes, even if your comment reasonably adds to the discussion.

Advertising is one of those triggers. You just don't want to say anything here that could possibly be interpreted as supporting ads, if your care about your fake-Internet-points count.

For what it's worth, I threw you an upvote because this didn't seem fair. And there's 50/50 odds that this comment will result in you getting a sudden wave of upvotes (psychology is weird).
Am I reading that chart wrong? From that page it looks to me like MSVC is quite a bit behind gcc and clang when it comes to feature support.
Lol us-tirefire-1
Agreed. We dropped AMP on nfcworld.com last month. Too much like building a business on somebody else's platform, and by now we all know where that ends up.
There are tons of (actually) free apps and games. They can either be open source ("charity") or they could theoretically be marketing for new Xbox One/PS4/Switch Sega games.

"Free" as in other-currency-than-money isn't free.
To be fair, Google, Netflix, FB, Amazon, etc are some of the companies on a very short list of places where you would actually need to have an in depth knowledge of this type of stuff to do your job well. If your job is scaling or optimization at Google, yes you should definitely know this stuff. If your job is building the latest CRUD app in Xamarin, you probably don't need to know how to implement your own bubble sort in pseudo code (without access to any resources, at that).
Or it is just a charade to make it look like Telegram is not controlled by the kreml
You would use trusted hardware like Intel SGX to provide proof of untampered processing of a set of data. Town Crier already has a proof of concept on the Ethereum blockchain. This allows one to prove to a smart contract that a webpage served by a particular PKI certificate holder contains some set of data.
Pretty impressive, especially for so few lines of code!
China Agrees to Stop Cyberattacks on Canadian Private Sector
It just means that the people who were hired outside the standard process were extremely talented and were worth fighting for.
It does mean anything about Google's interview process because it is geared towards an application from your average Joe from the street.
hahahahahaha. how do you turn it into spendable money at all when every ponzi exchange will shut down the minute they have net outflows.
A more hopeful counterpoint may I interject ?

Nothing to be done... become educated [ re
attract skilled workers... ] [ re establish unions ] [ excise tax on imports, >> rural centers for national infrastructure bring upto par again] [ de tax-avoidance plannings [ 'schemes' but don't use words of blame, so much as hopes for a future ] for large multinational corporations with an aim to de-deficit the country back to solvency and thus eventually un-welfare the rural portions to sustainability ... but way beyond my expertise, ... ]

> That was first time I needed to do that and they also asked for my signature which surprised me as it was first time in my life I needed to sign a receipt!

That's wild. Here in the U.S., I sign a couple of receipts every day.
The security industry is remarkably small. If you're going to spray your CV and hope for the best, sure, having as many certs as possible will get you past the first interview.

But chances are if someone is browsing HN they're at least genuinely engaged enough to do better than that. You're advocating for people to shoot for average, I'm suggesting to not settle.
Ironically this website does not open from Russia (had to use a VPN to access it). Same agency's shills in Russian Duma (parliament) are planning another law banning VPN and Anonymizer services. Censorship is coming down hard, it seems...

Nothing online is anonymous. Everything you do is logged and tracked.

Real cash is much more anonymous than stupid blockchains where every single transaction is published globally for all time.
Recruiters typically don't want to waste their time with folks who aren't going to get selected. They're competing against a lot of other recruiters filling the spot, and with their top candidates finding another job on their own or through a different recruiter.

Perhaps this means that as a 40+ year old developer, you're more likely to get a job if you go through a recruiter, as opposed to sending your resume off on your own?
Try regular google search, instead of news.
Apparently this isn't actually the case entirely. You can do a restore purchases on the old version now. I haven't tried it myself though.

Edit: remove unrelated edit!
Yes. Single special characters.
Doesn't the US military use this rational for actually supporting renewables and fighting climate change?
I also have a G4 Play. I recommend installing LineageOS on it, rooting it, and installing AFWall, which allows setting app-granular networking permissions for WiFi, VPN, and cellular.

"A decent company will have your future colleagues heavily involved in the hiring process"

Of course, but you still have to get to them first as no sane company makes their engineers to do 1st round CV screening (especially for publicly announced positions where tens or hundreds of CVs are applied). From my personal experience, technical interview with an engineer is usually only on 2nd/3rd round, so we are back to square 1. Yes, I know the best positions are filled through networking and recommendations, but that's not an option when you live outside of tech bubbles.
OMG Digital, the “BuzzFeed of Africa,” raises a seed round of $1.1M
Annoyingly, the 53 route was split because the bendy buses couldn't effectively get up Blackheath Hill and thus the 453 had to terminate at Deptford Bridge whilst the 53 continued on to Plumstead as before. Doubly annoyingly, the bendy buses are long gone and we still have the split 53/453 route.
So how about other CDNs like Cloudflare?

>You seem to have a bad case of conflicting legality with morality.

Anyone who intentionally breaks the law has to meet a heavy burden of justification. The circumstances under which it's morally ok to do so are rare, and usually involve emergencies or deliberate protest (in which case the perpetrator has to be prepared to accept the consequences). You cannot just go around breaking whatever law happens to be impacting your bank balance at the present moment and then justify that behaviour merely by intoning the phrase "legality is not morality".
Rock solid. We've have had 2 fire 7's in our house for 1.5 years, in the hands of a now 8 and 6 year old and no issues. Things are covered in gunk (like how they manage the touch screen is beyond me), and they keep going.

I don't use unlimited, I've side loaded play store, set age range, enabled full parental controls on play store and on the tablet themselves... They have full control, but web is blocked etc. Play store is great, tells them they need to uninstall things to install the next game. They don't need my interaction to install X or Y now.

They did manage to download an app that let them have full access to unfiltered youtube, but we caught that pretty quick. YouTube kids is great as well.
Hope that helps

No. Because it's all just words. You promising to be honest and competent does not increase my trust in you. Every incompetent dishonest person would do the same.
No body mentions mediaplayer classic ? It requires to have codecs installed, but it's prety lightweight.

I believe Google uses page load time as one of the ranking factors. If your non-AMP pages load quickly, you will be fine.

I don't think they specifically reward AMP.
A beautiful piece of data art (as in https://lisacharlotterost.github.io/2015/12/19/Meaning-and-B...), but not much of a data visualization (I can hardly get any insight from it).
