This is about consolidating more time and data on their systems. You never leave a Google server with AMP. UX is secondary benefit used as marketing to force this on sites along with search rankings.

Also Google owns Doubleclick which is the biggest and slowest ad server on the planet.
There's a few in FiDi in SF. Works pretty well, but the traffic there is unidirectional, so it's the easiest case to handle I guess.

What are you talking about?

Virtually every major publisher has an app that they try to herd users into. As do many if not most social news sites. Was your question satirical, or have you just been asleep for a decade?

Given the nonsensical beginning to your comment, the rest just seems like farce.

Another big anti-AMP person is John Gruber and your comment reminded me of him -- He'll effortlessly go from advocating why iOS apps aren't anti-web, because they're still hand-wavy using web services or something, and then go on a diatribe about AMP. It's quite a delightful bit of mental flexibility.
I co-maintain an open source project on GitHub that's somewhat popular (>1.5k stars). We set up Gitter because I preferred Slack which my collaborator didn't use, and he preferred Gchat which I didn't use, and Gitter looked like a reasonable middle ground. Since then it's mostly been a communication channel between us two. We do get a user question once in a while, and I do answer when I get a notification email. Basically, for users it's like opening an issue, just less formal.
Most date rape or college campus rapes involve alcohol. But if you try to suggest that sobriety is a good preventive measure, people get pretty wrapped around the axle. People act like advocating sobriety is some sort of evil impingement on a college girl's right to have fun.

Alcohol is the elephant in the room. Read "Getting Wasted: Why College Students Drink Too Much and Party So Hard". This is a detailed study of college drinking, with many interviews. "Drunkworld" didn't happen by accident. It took heavy promotion by the alcohol industry and cooperation by college administrations. The sex issues are mostly a spillover from the booze problems.

Now we're seeing that spill over into the business world. There are combination bars and workspaces now. Ten years ago that would have been a laughable concept.
I found the article bit disappointing. Basically the author focused almost exclusively on the failings of the browser. Of course I suppose that reflects on authors profession (being a writer for a web publication), but I would have hoped to see attempt at bit more diverse tasks.
You can also do that with uMatrix as well as with uBlock Origin.
Not to make light of your library, but what I'm really looking, and have found most useful, is a go version of Xeger (https://code.google.com/archive/p/xeger/)(regex backwards). Basically you define a regex and xeger generates random strings that match that pattern. There's a newer lib in java as well called generex (https://github.com/mifmif/Generex).

These plus some hand written factory girl like code work well for me in Java. There are similar libs for C#. This lower level abstraction works for many many business cases, not just, you know, business software.

true, but the need for a CDN isnt a foregone conclusion. it entirely depends on your traffic. a CDN also exposes your users' privacy via third-party cookies [1].

Or did economists know that people aren't rational actors, but lacking any better model, were simply unable to work without that assumption?
I agree. There have been great advances in the last 40 years. There is the need to distinguish between honest economists and those who have assumed a conclusion. Basically the equivalent of creationists. It's unfortunate that in economics it's so hard to distinguish the two.

Does classic economics describe commodity markets well under normal situations?
I'm thinking of purposefully devaluing your currency to remain competitive against countries with subsidized production.
To make an image you need two axis, one horizontal, one vertical. Because the earth is already moving if you have a single photodiode looking at the stars you will scan a line if you wait a while. By adding a second axis of motion such as a speaker which you modulate with a saw-tooth curve you can add a second axis. If you then scan over time you can re-constitute the image by plotting the dots with the intensity captured by the diode taking into account the driving voltage of the speaker and the time that has passed.
Depends on the system. The default on Arch Linux is local gem installs:

> This and many other experiments have converged upon a simple conclusion: When people do not have number words, they struggle to make quantitative distinctions that probably seem natural to someone like you or me.

This kind of thing has always fascinated me. It's not just about numbers, it's about how language shapes thought.

If a language lacked the ability to express the concept of sadness, would its people be sad? Or would they just be angry because they can't explain how they feel to anyone?

If we had four digits on each hand, as some cartoon characters have, would we think in octal?
Pi-hole (https://pi-hole.net/) does something like this. It's not plug'n'play though.
Can we address a different problem, aren't "noreply" addresses used by companies just a blatant admission that they don't want to talk to you about any issues you have? Aren't companies at least slightly ashamed of using these sorts of methods?

If I hit reply on an automated email I would expect it to get an automated response with clear links to helplines/addresses/etc at the very least, and ideally to go through to the actual customer support system. Is that unexpected? I'd imagine that less technically aware users would expect a similar thing.
The scrambles in Toronto don't prevent pedestrians from crossing the street on a green light; the scrambles are there because there's just so much more pedestrian than car traffic... (I'm thinking Yonge/Dundas here).

Québec City has many as well, but that's because at many intersections, drivers are so aggressive that you don't actually want to cross the street on a green light, lest someone take a turn and run you over, so the scrambles exist for the pedestrians' safety. There, they're actually an abdication to driver-first culture.
OK thanks for the clarification.
I think you're missing the point. He's saying "lol, it's an Austin writer, not a real Texan".

The only point I really wanted to make is that "If anyone reacts negatively to anything you do, it is always because you did something wrong" is an insane standard for human behavior.

I think most everyone agrees with that in general. But when it's phrased "men please remember it isn't how you feel about whether or not an action was appropriate or inappropriate, it is how they feel about it", it's apparently a whole other story.

I was hoping there could be a sane and logical discussion about that, but that seems impossible, at least here and now.

> Please tell me you understand the difference between that and your own potential to have an awkward encounter with a woman due to social anxiety.

I do understand that. I wasn't commenting on the main story at all, only the "If anyone reacts negatively..." quote.

And I assume that when people say "and men please remember...", they really only mean pushy inconsiderate men, and forget that their word will be read by people like me who really need to hear advice about becoming more assertive.

Final nitpick: I'm not so concerned with an awkward encounter. I have a lot of those. My fear is doing something I think is within modern rules of courtship, and be branded a sexual predator. My other fear is being so scared of doing something inappropriate that I never do anything at all and remain forever alone...
>there's nothing standard or reasonable about noreply.

Ok, I don't disagree but that's besides the point. For better or worse, a certain kind of convention grew around 'noreply' emails.
I'm under the impression that only EU slaps antitrust charges lately.
In a previous thread, I got called out for asking a loaded question regarding the complete degeneration of human society on social platforms, specifically Facebook and Twitter. Conveniently, this article today highlights my point.
If you're using a ccTLD, it's reasonable to expect country-specific policies.

Show HN: Is Traditional Banking Under Threat from Cryptocurrency?
Personally I feel like limiting ccTLDs to only legal entities (ie natural persons or registered organizations) of that country seems perfectly natural and even desirable. It doesn't (generally) limit you from offering services in any country, but it does require you to be at least a tiny bit more honest about the origin of the service.

>not having to think at all about food except for ~4 hours of the day is super convenient.

Interesting. Much earlier (teens), I had read a book - I think it was a story about Robin Hood - in which they said that he and his men ate only once or twice a day. I remember wondering at the time how it was possible, how they did not feel hungry, more so since they had active physical lives.

> There are a dozen different possibilities for what the photon has done - a dozen different universes, if you like. As long as the photon never interacts with anything else, this bundle of a dozen universes can act much the same as a single universe. Certainly if you're just looking at a telescope, all dozen versions of that telescope are behaving the same, so they behave like a single unified instance.

Well that's interesting you bring it up this way.

If what you said is possibly true, then light could be a carrier of things like multi-dimensional spin, or possibly where dark matter really comes from (inter-dimensional interference).

I know Greg Egan has discussed the possibility of infinite orthogonal dimensions that energy can leak into. And by energy conservation, the result would be things like dimensional rotation and other effects we cannot yet perceive.

One theory is that the EM-Drive uses a rudimentary version of this effect. We're all still awaiting the results.
Abandoning meaning not basing their electronic presence on it. No one wants to be just a website, except for maybe Metacritic. Everyone wants to be an app.

A recurring set of alternative facts rise to the top of every discussion on AMP, and my post that questioned it sits at -5. It seems laughable to now demand that I rise above -- I just find it funny.
Sub-addressing with '+' is a common (but not universal) email hosting feature that predates Gmail. What's more particular to Gmail is zero or more periods '.' being ignored so awinter-py, a.winter-py, and a.wint.er.py are all equivalent and valid on Gmail.

Closure certainly does; I use it every day. If Gmail is an example of how GWT optimizes things, then I'm afraid you're factually wrong.

Which is a shame. I doubt any real antitrust cases will be brought here in the US for the next 4 years.
The CDN isn't just about volume, it's about location and bandwidth. It doesn't matter how many users you have, if the user is in Uganda and your server is in California, the video will never load immediately.

And even then, how would you create a homebrew CDN?

Sure, you could buy bandwidth, storage and processing capacity in multiple DC providers around the world and build, deploy and maintain your own solutions, at which point you're essentially becoming a small CDN with significantly higher costs as you don't have the efficiencies of scale and 100's (or 1000's) of multiple customers.
>You (and myself, and anyone reading HN) are not the target user for this, nor are you representative of the typical internet user.

Yes, but the typical internet user has never heard of AMP and wants it even less...

Which can always use simple lightweight html pages instead of AMP with its JS cruft?
U.S. government seeks to intervene in Apple's EU tax appeal

Valter Longo's research is essentially aiming to answer some of these questions. He was looking for the 80/20 point at which reduction in calories produces much the same outcome as fasting. His current position is expressed by the fasting mimicking diet; you might go read the papers in which he outlines trial results and the data that forms the basis for the diet.

From a gene expression in mice point of view, none of it is exactly the same. Different but overlapping patterns of change for calorie restriction, isocaloric intermittent fasting, intermittent fasting with calorie restriction, methionine or other protein restriction, etc, etc. All different.

Also, all the data on exercise shows it does little to life span in comparison to calorie restriction, while both are vaguely comparable when considering healthspan. There are plenty of papers on this topic to read. Again, completely different set of changes and benefits.
> * Keynes basically advocated for massive government stimulus to make up for national economic slack*

This is an inaccurate summation of Keynesian policy. Keynes recommended counter-cyclical policies much like a feedback loop. Growing too fast? Cut spending. Growing too slow? Spend more. Keynesian is different from pure free market theory which is like an open loop.

My EE120 Linear Systems prof at Berkeley also taught in the Economics Department. So the idea that you'd want a feedback loop rather than an open loop makes a lot of sense to this gearhead.

> * 1. Governments are less efficient than free markets at spending money. See China.*

Yes. That is the mechanism.

I like the better question: "What is a measurement?"

What does the measurement actually entail? If a computer reads the contents, does that mean the computer is entwined with it? What does our consciousness do to the measurement?

What does the double-slit experiment show if only computers read its result? Does the result compare when we observe it?

Crazier yet, do different human observers see the same results? Has this even been tested?
