Well, you can also use FaceTime with iPads.

In the US, many people have the iPhones and iPads. For professionals worldwide at least in developed countries, it makes sense to use iPhones which are far, far more secure than Android platforms, especially when taking into account total cost of ownership, the monthly fee for cell service on a high quality network.

In professional settings, the Mac is becoming a more popular platform, IBM is converting many Thinkpads over to Macs.

Many in Europe, even the young, smoke cigarettes which are very costly with the taxes. I'd suggest for both health reasons and using money for better purposes to quit smoking cigarettes and use the money for iPhones (and Macs).

A pack of Marlboros in Germany is about $8 per pack according to Wikipedia.

My daily cost for being on the Verizon (top cell provider, esp in NYC) network and having Verizon yearly upgrade for latest iPhone is $5 per day. Upgrading to latest MacBook 15" Pro from recent model is about $2 to $3 per day.

The Macs, iPhones, and iPads play much better together as an ecosystem.
so?

people act like they have all kinds of "civil rights" on the internet. like the right to not be tracked. no such thing exist.

or the "right" to have the internet and web sites work how they imagine things should work

Developers are generally not rational people who critically analyze the pros and cons of the technologies that they use. Honestly neither am I, I don't make decisions based solely on objective measures or benchmarks for that matter.

That is why it's called "most loved" and not "best tool to use", it's based on emotions. And this hardly has any relevance unless you're invested in the developer tools market.
> IRC is not going anywhere

I don't know if this still holds true. I've been a IRC user for ~20 years and the current state is a fraction of the fraction of it was once before. Compared with the entire internet, it can already be considered irrelevant, imo.
> There were no adverse effects on quality of life

Does quality of life have some specific medical meaning? I'd say not being able to eat as much would be a huge reduction in quality of life for myself and many people in know. No I don't massively over eat like many Americans but I love eating and cooking and going out to dinner. Trying to keep calories at or below 2000 is hard enough. I can't imagine having to try to enjoy even less.
The sentences fit together just fine, but you need to read the whole paragraph.

Frederick Law Olmsted wrote in 1853 that he thought that the Texas Legislature was more respectable (for its “manly dignity and trustworthiness”) than Parliament or Congress. Lawrence Wright is agreeing that if we examine the three bodies impartially, the Texas legislature is more “functional” than the US Congress and more “genteel” than the House of Commons, but that still Olmsted’s characterization is unusual because the Texas legislature has historically been known for its crackpots and ideologues and proud anti-intellectualism.

The “but” is contrasting Wright’s caveat (that if we consider it “fairly” the Texas legislature isn’t as dysfunctional as Congress) with his main point about the Texas legislature’s long-standing negative reputation.
Hey if you really feel this way, you might like my new "framework" even more, it does declarative UI in < 100 lines of UMD JavaScript:

Performance optimizations, cross-browser events, and safety features not included. Good luck if you ever have to build a huge UI with it, you'll be the first person to try!

Seriously though, while it's pretty cool for embedding interactive DOM nodes in a webpage, don't think that you always need "simple" when sometimes "easy" is a much better idea.

It's true that Google doesn't explicitly boost AMP pages. But it does boost all of the attributes that AMP enforces on a page (reduced page size, loading speed, etc). So it's an implicit signal boost rather than explicit. You may think that that's fine and there's nothing wrong with that, but no doubt Google see this as a way keeping users within the Google system as much as possible while they browse.

I'm personally on the fence regarding the whole situation. On one hand, I like less bloat, on the other I don't want a 3rd party involved more than is required in delivering a news article to me.
You really believe that the 'vast majority' of the child sexual slavery trade is voluntary? Again, any studies or stats to back that up?

Back to the article, these were adverts that were explicit in the fact that they were suppling children (Amber alert etc) do you really think that men who answer such adverts accidentally find themselves with children?
Coming from a Scheme background, if there's one thing I can't believe we live without in Javascript, it's macros. Hell even C has macros... I've looked at Sweet.js a few times to add support for macros to the Linode Manager. Between m4, the gcc preprocessor, and something native, this seemed like the easiest potential sell. However, I've been turned off by how complicated this looks compared to any of the other options and I'm not sure it actually even supports the feature I want: allow some code to show up in "development" mode but for that code to not even exist in the compiled output of "production" mode. (The other feature that's just as important though is being able to wrap shared code up in a single function that gets compiled in at compile time, but I think Sweet.js supports that.)
There is no science to support the notion of detoxifying or cleansing[1]. Not eating does not cause your body to repair itself. There is no relationship between the time taken for digestion and your immune system. It's not like your body can only do one thing at a time.

By all means, if fasting makes you feel good or whatever then continue to do it. Just realise that none of your stated claims of its physical benefits are true.

There are as many reasons as there are investors. Apart from financial returns, not everyone is in it for the same thing.

My reason for giving Tesla a higher valuation is different to the next guy. However, Tesla is a better starting point for capitalising on a low carbon future. Even the GM pension obligations factor into my hunch. Ultimately it is all about belief, in my case a belief in a zero carbon future.
> his father taught statistics and his mother became one of the first professors of Russian literature in South Korea

I notice that really talented people, always have talented parents. Rarely do I read stories about poor blue collar parents producing science wiz. It leads me to believe that genetics play a much bigger role in our intelligence than nurture.
"Apple could pay _cash_ for all of Tesla's outstanding stock and still have the biggest cash stockpile of any corporation in the world."

Apple doesn't even want to be in the business of manufacturing iPhones - they outsource it to Foxconn. So why would they suddenly be interested in owning Tesla's huge car and battery manufacturing factories that employ thousands of workers?

This[0] might be of interest for you then, they basically handle the European localized-VAT compliance for you and it should be as simple to integrate as, say, stripe payments.
It looks promising, I plan to use it, but have no experience with it yet.

As for the idea that VAT MOSS is what keeps google cloud from entering the private market, I agree that it's improbable given Google's size, they have figured it out already for other products after all.

I’ve tested the AMP and regular versions of a The Guardian article page, and the AMP version is more than 4 times smaller in terms of transferred KBs, coming in at about 300 KB. Yes, JavaScript represents more than half of that size, and there are 16 separate script files, but in comparison to the regular page, it’s a significant improvement.

Note: I’ve tested with an ad/tracking blocker.
Industrial IoT is quite thriving industry. Things like machine monitoring and performance, sensor networks for process monitoring and many other niche cases.

Children with genius parents usually expose their children to high level content very early into their childhood. They also pass on a way of thinking and intuition of their subjects that a non-expert in the field won't have.
As we dismantle the institutions of racism, white people will no longer be the only ones to enjoy a multitude of subtle, pervasive privileges. E.g. being the default image of "an American" or the hero in an Western-centric movie, book, story etc. Or a person who doesn't look like they're up to no good.

Note that this isn't an attack on white people, but a natural consequence of equalization. For there to not be special treatment on one ethnic group, we must either remove that treatment or distribute it among all. America is moving in the direction of the latter.

White people are afraid of this distribution: they fear it will cheapen their special status and errode their identities. However, this is irrational: fully including everyone doesn't cheapen, errode, or otherwise destroy anything. It's a prehistoric, childish emotion: to horde something and play king of the hill.

Note: I am a white man.

"It's true that Google doesn't explicitly boost AMP pages. But it does boost all of the attributes that AMP enforces on a page (reduced page size, loading speed, etc)."

So Google is guilty of making things that users want?

"Google see this as a way keeping users within the Google system as much as possible while they browse."

Well, isn't giving users what they want a way to keep them inside your system?

I don't see the point in your comment, are you saying that Google should not be optimizing for what users want?
Sure. I can agree with that. I've always thought that with any free service I've used that the naming implies it's temporary, such as "Hobby" or "Developer" and that's the extent it goes.

When it shuts down or asks for money it's a cost/benefit analysis. There's companies that let you host for free, but eventually if all companies charge then they'll end up paying.

I don't have any issue with users hopping from free service to free service but there's no contract between the parties with a free service besides that a TOS can change at any moment.
Internet Archive | San Francisco, CA | PM, SRE, Book Curator | Full Time, ONSITE

The Internet Archive is a US-based non-profit which has been backing up the web and pursuing "Universal Access to All Knowledge" for more than 20 years. Some of our larger projects include the Wayback Machine, a national news TV archive, openlibrary.org, and archive-it.org. We own an operate all of our digital compute and redundant storage hardware, including our data center real estate, and run a predominantly free/open source software stack. We have some remote employees, but the majority of engineers work full time from our beautiful headquarters in the Richmond district of San Francisco (the roles below are on-site, though exceptional and travel-flexible remotes are welcome to apply anyways).

As of July 2017 we are actively hiring for:

- Manager Site Reliability & Infrastructure

- Hardware Design Engineer, for our custom book scanning pipeline

- Curator of Books & Linked Data, who will improve our book cataloging, metadata management, and scan prioritization process

- Project Manager for an existing 5-engineer team developing and operating a successful production Python/Django web application (no listing for this yet, contact me)

- ... and more!

The Internet Archive is an equal opportunity employer and additionally encourages applicants from all educational and career backgrounds. As a mission-driven non-profit we do not compete with Silicon Valley market rates, but we do pay a livable Bay Area salaries, provide full benefits including paternal leave, and our employees have the freedom to discuss their work publicly. Our funding is stable, we have weathered several tech bubbles, and intend to be operating well through the 21st century.

Nobody else wants to parse it because HTML is a perfectly well functioning and accepted system

Apple and Facebook, two of the largest content (re)publishers, have their own competing formats, and Bing currently spiders and parses AMP content as well. But thinking more holistically, many others simply pushed their content into apps, abandoning the web wholesale. Because while we can talk about how "well functioning" the web is, a virtually universal observation is that native apps that just wrap a web browser are sloggy garbage, and a big reason is that the HTML stack has grown so enormously flexible it becomes its own enemy.

We don't need a new version from Google that so far only helps with google rankings

I'm a charitable sort of person, so when someone like Google comes out with something I assess why they did it without presuming the worst. In this case we see silos appearing from Apple and Facebook, not to mention the appification of content, so Google looks for a way to keep the web compelling. And it is. When I see an AMP page there are a number of user-centric benefits that make it a draw as a link, not just speed but also best behaviors.

I mean, many of the complaints on here about AMP seem just surreal. For instance if you open the carousel (an option for trending topics like Trump) and swipe, it brings you to the next story in the carousel. This outrages some that you aren't locked in the gutter of a given site, which is just bizarre and anti-user.

If you're taking this personally, you're not going to develop personally from the critical engagement. Remove your ego from the discussion.
Your post and bio give the impression of seeing yourself as an "HN celebrity", frustrated at people purposely ignoring your blog. Are you aware of HN's scale? I've been here for about 5 years, and have never heard of you prior to an hour ago. I'd be astounded if a full 1% of HN's readership has clicked on a single page on your blog, ever.

In reality, we seem to be in near-total alignment. Within a larger comment, you had one statement that seems over-generalized. After agreeing with the gist of your post, I mildly and respectfully challenged that one over-generalized statement.

That's not a big deal. It might catch a downvote or two, because HN is HN. But that's what normal healthy human conversation sounds like, outside of any particular echo chamber. It's not an attack, and not really even a defense.

Somehow you're now in a "witch hunt", or being called a "man-hating bitch", or otherwise under attack from the "other side", etc. I can't even... uhh... just, no... you're not. And if you feel like you have to take it to that level, in order not to be called a "rape apologist", then maybe you run with the wrong circles online.
With the right TOS and no contract in place a business can raise prices at any times.

Can you provide any examples of real life cases where something like walking through your neighbor'a garden became an established right? I'd be interested to see as that just feels like a hyperbole to me.

I always found BIOS fonts ugly, especially the uppercase and lowercase D letters.

What I do like are monospace fonts having one-story lower A letters. My short list of modern fonts with this feature:

- Monaco (Mac-only, 9pt and 12pt bitmap); "()" and "[]" appear circle- and square-like, resp.

- Anonymous 9 (Mac-only, bitmap)

- Anonymous (TTF, like Anonymous 9)

Plus, some monospace fonts have one-story as cursive/italics letter forms.

Anonymous Pro has two-story a and has much more complete Unicode coverage; has more latin-like proportions (x-height) and has (not strictly necessary) serifs on eg. letter C, lower letter F, etc. so probably doesn't go well with a sans font for other text?
Heh, now i want to try that color scheme on HN.
I've always wanted to learn to use awk but I just can never find enough examples that allow me to understand what the hell I'm doing. The learning curve is too high for me.
The word consistent is an issue in and of itself. You probably mean you think it's best when a style is applied consistently. But probably don't care that the style itself values consistency. The style linked above is not remotely consistent. Braces in different columns. Braces styles for functions different from non functions. if statement can have or into have braces. All extremely inconsistent
No he’s saying that the US Congress is literally less functional: has more internal strife, gets gridlocked, fails to pass essential legislation, gets sucked up in scandals, etc.

And the House of Commons is less genteel: people shout at each other, interrupt each-other, call each-other names, etc., rather than acting like polite and formal “gentlemen”.
Thanks for the reply. Clearly I am not the intended audience for this piece of essay.

Just out of curiosity, can you gauge how many percent of the US population would find such essays engaging? Not to start a flamewar, but I am genuinely curious.
I remember seeing a comment by a Google employee saying that there is some sort of bureaucratic issue and they were working on it. It was either here on HN or stackoverflow, will report back if I find it again!
It's talking about the people in the legislature and how it, as an organization, functions.
I know you´re trying real hard to do that but again: that is not the case here. So maybe stick to what is really happening rather than to imagine what you think might happen?
How "big" is it? I'm just wondering what space do these Electron apps take. It's great to see such "Windows" apps in Linux at last. I just hope it won't be 300MB per app.
Why does it lead you to believe that? If they have talented parents, wouldn't the parents raise them in a way to encourage their talents to blossom?

Would be interesting to see if the children of talented parents that are put up for adoption and raised by average parents are as successful. Or vice versa, talented parents raising children of average parents.
Those are good reasons. The reason I accept an 80 char limit, even if I prefer longer lines, is because it affects everyone else. Short lines will always fit, in every editor, in every terminal, over ssh, etc.. Long lines, anything over 80, will compromise some workflow somewhere. Long lines will generally mess with someone's flow, and they become more inconvenient for more people the longer the lines get.

it's fine if the high-level public-speaking folks aren't doing this, but the problem is that no one seems to be doing it.

anyone can open up the DevTools network panel during a Gmail load, then look at the timings, payloads and generated DOM to see that it's almost entirely absolute shit by Google's own standards, even in Chrome on a fast desktop; they still use MochiKit ffs. there are at least several hundred engineers here on HN that can rewrite the Gmail UI to be "blazing fast" without gutting features and would still work great even on old phones still running Android 4.4.4 (with latest Chrome).

obviously Google knows all of this, they just don't care because there's no measurable ROI in a faster free Gmail compared to getting people to host their juicy AMP content on Google's servers. "It's what the users want" is a half-truth optimized for maximum PR value; a bit like "Don't be evil".

Amen to that! I have my preferences on where I place my curly braces, and I have strong opinions on camelCasing versus using_underscores. But for a given code base, consistency outweighs any advantages any given coding style might have.

Also, emacs has glasses-mode, so when I have to work on a code base that uses camel case, at least I don't have to squint really hard. ;-)

in js you can just leave the named function inline. i sometimes create functions that call themself so that i can just move it out if the code needs to be repeated, and i dont have to clutter the scope with more variables. with es6 js got bracket scoping, but i still prefer function scope and closures.

Who uses m4? It has been around forever, but I have never really seen it used except in autoconf. When I looked at it (a long time ago) it struck me as really tricky and confusing, even more than lisp macros (but maybe on a par with TeX). However, this was just a first impression -- I didn't go too deep.

You are right about the trends, but consider this.

The diet became extremely popular in the early 2000's, but among the "fad diet" mainstream population. That peak was unnatural, and most of these dieters will fail at whatever the new diet is because they have unrealistic expectations and don't really follow a disciplined program.

The diet is becoming more popular from a group that has a more scientific approach now.

Also when they diet began to decline there ALREADY WAS a huge push from certain groups to discredit the diet. When Dr. Atkins died he was fat, but this is anecdotal, what is crazy is that his autopsy was released illegally without the families permission.
