I think the issue is that many people see monopolies as a good thing, as long as they are not being very blatantly abusive (and especially if you can say, "well look, they only control 80+% of the market!"). Examples: Thiel, Friedman, maybe there are others.

The march towards efficiency, productivity, and profits naturally cuts into redundancy, diversity, and competition. Same goes for index funds, holding companies, etc.

I wonder if there is any way we can find a balance, because it seems like there are so many cases where giving up some efficiency/productivity for some other traits is desirable (renewable energy, research and development, health, safety, etc.)
Is tuition actually going up by that much? Most schools raise prices to raise scholarships to raise rankings, leaving revenue virtually flat.

There is a coordinated effort to temporarily exempt schools from antitrust rules so they can collectively coordinate a tuition drop, and stop the fake scholarship arms race.
Since you seem to know people in this industry, can you encourage them to put phosphorus numbers on nutrition labels. Currently they are not required by law. People like I with a failing kidney need to watch our phosphorus levels but still consume high amounts of protein. Knowing this little bit of information would open up a new food options for us.
How so? From an Anti-Trust perspective, the FTC recently blocked the Walgreens/Rite-Aid[1] and FanDuel/DraftKings[2] deals. I'm not sure this deal is anti-competitive and certainly doesn't come off as anti-consumer to me.

However, as it relates to the FTC, I am concerned with the increasing size of Fortune 100/500 companies [3] and their relationship to the decline in entrepreneurship in the United States [4]. The biggest companies are getting bigger and growing faster than ever and the FTC affects that by reviewing M&A activity.

I hope the next step is a way to strip AMP links from all URLs, backfilling the "Disable AMP" setting that Google ought to have provided.

AMP has always worked poorly on iOS: it has different scrolling, it breaks reader mode, and it breaks status bar autohide and jump-to-top. Perhaps Apple would be less hostile to AMP if the implementation were better.
I agree. I guess I'm one of the odd ones who hardly ever reads anything on their phone, so maybe that informs my opinion. And I have never thought about the AMP issue thoroughly or logically. I just know that my instincts have been trained to go "yes!" when I realize the page I'm loading is AMP because I know that it's actually going to be readable and actually going to load in a reasonable time. And for non-AMP it's a gamble, and probably a losing one.
On the contrary, I mostly use Fedora. Systemd won, it is sad, but I accepted it. However, I want to outline that the reasons for its proliferation were less than objective merit.
Given that google doesn't usually accurately describe why accounts are closed, such an insurance company would never be able to prove insurance fraud and be completely exposed to it.
Amp doesn't bring anything new to the table in terms of best practices, what is new is agglomerating even more online content under Google's control via caching. Lightweight page design never became impossible, it's simply that most websites couldn't care less about investing work into improvements.
Grumpy, grumpy downvotes. Pound sand, you miserable assholes.
Whenever Apple introduces a new product line, they do so with a major usability innovation. In fact their major new lines often have several usability innovations, that work together.

The iPod had click wheel. The Mac had the GUI. The Apple II was plug-and-play in a time when people built from scratch. The iPhone had multi-touch the Apple Watch had a bunch of stuff.

The challenge is not to solve an already solved problem.

Remember when the iPhone was introduced? It's obvious now it was quite revolutionary-- but at the time people complained that it wasn't anything significant and that lacking a keyboard meant it was doomed to failure.

If apple introduced a self driving Camry it would not really be compelling enough. For a new product category, Apple's only interested if they can create or redefine the category.

It's worked out pretty well so far.
Then I guess "everyone else" should find a way to make a usable mobile content website without AMP, because apparently that's a nearly unsolvable problem. It's hard to be anti-AMP when the user experience is that much better with AMP.
The problem in my mind is ITER is not really viable to produce power at reasonable costs. To be useful it would need to produce something like 5GW of heat for similar costs. Thus, ARC needs to be more than 10X as good to avoid hitting ITER scale in production.
Even if they don't get the first self driving vehicles on the market they're still in the best position to partner with whoever does and make slightly less but still a fuck tonne of money.
Hm, looks interesting, but is there anything similar available for Linux?

I use a small chromebook as a primary workstation for its light form factor and ARM's low power usage/long battery life. So if it's Mac/Windows or closed source without an ARM binary, I can't use it.
You have a team of 4, 2 of them work Monday, Tuesdays, 2 of them work Thursdays, Fridays. How to manage?
I think it's safer, probably harder to get mad cow disease or salmonella, don't you think? Also, today we get it from animals pumped full of antibiotics, hormones living in their own excrement.
> How interesting are we though?

It's kind of a pointless question. There's value in gaining and sharing knowledge that allows you to analyse and interpret the machinations world so that you can make educated decisions rather than be blindly subjected to change. There is objective value in understanding human history, economic basics, biology, nutritional health etc compared to who kicked a goal in 1987. Who you're interesting to depends on preference.

Someone who is too busy thinking about football than the cons of buying a house in a floodplain will probably suffer from their ignorance. If we're to evolve as a species we need to be highly considerate and take an interest in the world around us.
Yea it's really rare for me to interpret a situation as Apple making a pro-consumer move and Google being anti-consumer[1], but here we are.

What prevents me from distributing products by allowing others to use my paid copy's machine as a remote? Am i missing something?
The town of Bondi Beach, Australia has permanently blocked construction of a synagogue because the town council was concerned it might one day be terrorist target[1]. But that's going straight to the win condition for the forces of evil. Evil got rid of the synagogue and didn't even have to build a bomb.

This feels like a similar thing. At least make the forces of evil work for chasing innocent people out of their work - don't do it for them!

Apparent elitism aside, Walmart is actually specifically catering to what he wants. You can buy your groceries online, they have the kinds of products he's looking for, and you can ship them to your nearest store and pick them up or have them delivered to your house.
What government regulations are relevant in this case?
Hey, at least Satoshi's identity is still unknown, so there's that!
My comment is focused on Apple's behavior and not AMP specifically. I do know how AMP works.

I don't like how Apple unilaterally changes the way that things work (even if that means AMP) without regard to any other parties.
> The only company that I know of that uses AMP is Google

Google and Micorosft (Bing) have caches. I think Twitter does to (they definitely use AMP). Lots of other social media and other platforms use and highlight AMP content, and I think there are a couple other big players with caches, too.

It's definitely not just Google.
AMP is terrible for the open WWW and not necessarily any faster.

"Pinboard founder Maciej Cegłowski already recreated the Google AMP demo page without the Google AMP JavaScript and, unsurprisingly, it's faster than Google's version."

People who never think creatively never invent anything.

You are shitting on the fact that they even explored the idea as if ipso facto you know it was a bad idea.

You don't.

That you think you do is why you won't be inventing an iPhone.
It might be simply because Safari respect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canonical_link_element

>I haven't been in the sector long enough to have a real handle on when or why this shift happened, but from my perspective its the primary driver of the increasing administrative bloat. Schools are competing more on the intangibles, and so they need to invest more into these areas, which means more staff and more overhead.

If I had to actually guess, it probably started around the time they realized that the Millenial matriculation cohort was going to start "running down", resulting in universities having to either reduce their selectivity (which is death for a private uni) or somehow retain their selectivity by attracting more of a limited applicant pool. At the same time, there's a secular trend in cutting per-student funding for state universities.

The result is that state schools need to bring in more tuition money (forcing prices up on their end, reducing price competition against over-expensive private schools), while private schools need to retain selectivity (so they compete harder for students who can pay).
I guess someone didn't like hearing what you said, but you're absolutely right. Global agreements are coordination problems; there's an incentive to violate them, discretely at least. And there's a cost to genuinely comply with the agreement while others are clandestinely violating it.
Thats what I heard too a couple of years ago - they were putting huge amounts of money into Thorium research - does anyone know how far they are away from something similar?
It also breaks "back" IIRC. They expect you to use the "x" on the page to navigate back, not.. you know, the back button built into the browser. That and the scrolling are what got me to switch my iphone to DDG.
Things go up in a market because the fundamentals are good. That's not yet a bubble - it's based on the reality of the fundamentals. But a bunch of people see the market go up and decide to invest in it, not because the fundamentals look good, but because they want to make money and that market is going up. That makes the market go up more. So more people invest in it, because it's going up, and there's fear of missing out. Now it's starting to become a bubble, but it's not yet a dangerous one. If it breaks, people will lose money, but it won't destroy the economy.

The next step comes when people borrow money to invest in the market, because it's going up, and they can make more money that way. So now the market really starts to go up, because there's so much money pouring in. The fundamentals are completely out of view here - they're not even a distant reflection in the rear-view mirror. Everyone's making money, and nobody wants to get out, but everyone kind of has this nagging sense that the party's going to end sometime.

Eventually, the banks kind of wise up (way too late) and start limiting the amount of money they're going to lend for purposes of buying assets in this market. Then the price stops going up. Then everyone rushes for the exits, because they don't want to lose money, especially since most of the money is borrowed. But everybody can't be one of the first ones out the exit, and so a bunch of people lose money.

Borrowed money. Money they can't pay back.

Now the banks are in trouble, because they've made a bunch of loans that people can't pay back. That's how a bubble can hurt the larger economy.
You're shitting on the project without knowing anything about it yourself... but you ask how he can be interested without knowing details?

And yes, the brand-- which is to say, their 40 year history of delivering products at a level of quality and innovation unmatched by any company in the world-- is enough to be interested in anything they produce.
Don't think Apple will accept any amount of billions from Google to let AMP pass through.
Oh yea it entirely is but I wanted to experiment with docker as ive never used it before, you can just pull the python and use export to set the vars if you want.

Edit: Docker is also an easy way to run in the background.
As an adjunct professor running one class per year, I ran the calculation of:

(Amount I'm paid per class / (students in class * cost per credit * credits for class) )

And found I'm paid about 10% of what the students pay for the experience of taking my class. I can't help wonder what happens to the rest of that money.
Well, I've heard of Martin Fowler, but not Roy Singham.

Let's face it, the company (and probably all companies) has really been built by all it's people, not just a single founder/owner.

So who's now getting what of the $600 mil?
A cursory search on Roy turns up various phrases like "software socialist" etc, but honestly it would be hard to justify that, or claim success in the "social responsibility" part of the company's famous "3 pillars" values, if they're not even giving their own people a fair stake.
What part of AMP isn't standards compliant?

The part that mandates including js from a corporation on your pages.
I cannot help but think that the answer lies in requiring licensing of the major browser brands to special interest groups.

There will be no loss of trademark aspect, in law or effect, would Chrome be available in the edition provided by the Royal Institute of Engineers, or Firefox found in a edition created by the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants. US DoD AND PBS all have the place and reason to augment the capability of the FUNCTIONAL UTILITY of Web browsers. Google, Apple, Microsoft and the greater OSS diaspora, should be able to healthily play both the supporting role, and Arbiter of First Resort.

OP is complaining about Safari not supporting the most recent APIs, whereas AMP supports only an extremely limited subset of all those technologies.

But I believe the larger issue is how it makes URL meaningless, and futures a centralisation of the web. It's not against the standard, but certainly the spirit of the web as it was supposed to be.
Statistically speaking light aircraft are closer to motorcycles in terms of fatalities. On the bright side though, you're much less likely to me maimed in an aircraft accident :)

When people get upset about the FAA's safety stance in GA, it has less to do with the part 61/91 regulations (airman certification/operating procedures) and more to do with the equipment certification standards. A common example is the reliance on vacuum driven gyroscopic instruments when MEMS technology provides better performance with a much lower probability of failure. Up until recently the FAA made it almost impossible to retrofit old aircraft with generic glass panel systems even though these systems provide vastly greater safety margins when used correctly. I personally have experienced a vacuum system failure, but luckily not while in IFR conditions.

Beyond instruments, the bulk of the fleet of 30-50 years old and beginning to show it's age, but it's prohibitively expensive to certify new designs that incorporate more safety features like CAPS (parachute systems), composite energy absorbing seats/fuselages or digital engine management systems. We're also still entirely reliant on leaded fuel (100LL) due to cost hurdles in certifying engines that can run on JetA or anything else for that matter.
> They are improved user interfaces over things that already existed.

This is the lie every Apple hater tells themselves to reconcile their hate with the fact that Apple keeps inventing things never before seen.
It can still be the case that they are spending excessively on administrators.

They can easily use any potential savings by adjusting the way their scholarships taper off versus income.
You get better placement for using it (and not just with Google), so if Apple were to redirects their users to your regular site, why wouldn't you still use it?
Got unscrollable, unclickable AMP pages on my device :/
lemme fix that...most people's next car will be used (pre-owned) in the US (and in Europe). Most likely it'll cost in the range of 6,000 to 16,000 USD and will definitely not be a Tesla.

That said, I want my next car to be a Tesla...the masses don't have to money to be included unfortunately.
I gave a one line rebuttal. Could you not do the same?
I work at a big state university as well and completely agree. The amount of money spent on luxury dorms, extravagant academic buildings, athletic facilities, student entertainment, and administrative on top of adminstrative staff is stunning.

Some of the facility spending, especially in athletics, is paid for by donors and athletics also has revenue from the major sport events, but there is huge spending and bloat on the academic side a well, funded by ever increasing tuition and fees that I just cannot see being sustainable.
To say that iteration should be "considered a code smell" is not a good thing to do for the programming community.

Present-day CPUs operate on structures by iterating. On a typical high-level programming language, they are at some point done by either (a) iteration or (b) recursion. If the compiler does not do automatic tail call optimization; then (b) recursion can't be made as optimal (in terms of speed and resources) than (a). The latest Java compiler does not perform tail call optimization and probably never will be able to do it. I mention Java because the article is targeted to the Java crowd.

Thus, iteration IS a very important tool for enhancing performance, and real-world (production) systems might have very important performance requirements.

Iteration, in a code, should just be considered... iteration. No kind of smells.

In the past, there was a very important computer scientist called Edsger Dijkstra wrote a paper called "Goto Statement Considered Harmful", GOTO being considered a "code smell": Dijkstra is a very important guy; an unit of measure, the nanoDijkstra, was named in his honor.

However, even afterwards, new programming languages did include a GOTO statement (or some form), because there are special cases when they are needed for higher performance or (believe it or not!) producing more readable code.
What a thoughtful contribution - it's thought provoking and adds depth to the conversation. I wish more comments did as much.

You touch on an interesting topic - the point of terrorism isn't destruction, it's to inspire fear. They're playing a long game so whether or not they attack every event, they gain as people lose freedoms or privacy and when we dedicate resources to security and protection that could have served another purpose.
It's time to think beyond Cloud Computing
When student loans were able to be discharged in bankruptcy, it was popular to declare bankruptcy on graduation. By the time they saved up enough for a down payment on a house, the bankruptcy will have fallen off the records, so effectively they got a free education (not the ideal mechanism for doing so, better to give people free education upfront).

Maybe there is a middle ground where student debt is not easily discharged, but can be in some cases (eg: graduated 10-20yrs ago, could never find a steady job).

Ideally we as a country should decide to make trade schools/college free (or at least give people $10k/yr towards tuition). This would not be a huge increase the in budget as we already spend ~$10k/yr (depends on state) to send kids to high school.
Let's see if those stores will become even more useless. Maybe they will start selling healing crystals?
I wish it had an option to simply strip AMP in all circumstances. I quite often copy & paste URLs into e-mails, for example. It's irksome to have to request the desktop version just to get the proper domain and URL.
Usually about a year after Apple's competitors have introduced a pale imitation, the haters will say it was always obvious.

I once had someone on here tell me that Apple invented nothing for the iPhone because the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey "invented multitouch".
The Play Store is pretty liberal in what they allow, more so than the Apple App store atleast.

People from poor families drop out at a higher rate than non poor family peoples, as well as carry over lower average earnings and a higher likelihood of defaulting on loans even after graduation. A single generation getting a diploma will not equalize the gap between poorer and richer families.

Yup. That's what's terrifying. Most current talk about CO2 assumes that humans will have control over how much is released.

But since we pushed the system to a new state, its net emissions may dwarf our own emissions. Then things get even harder.
Good on Apple for standing up to Google. This is great for an open web.
No. Apple invented the smartphone. There were no smart phones before the iPhone. There were PDAs and feature phones.

People like to pretend Apple never invents anything and to do so they always point at vaguely similar things that aren't nearly as good as if they support the point.

Someone one here once told me that Apple didn't invent multi-touch because it existed in the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey
Yeah, who needs the Library and Archives? The book conservation lab is one of the things in the RWC location, that's clearly overhead that's totally not needed! Buckminster Fuller's models? Let 'em molder.
I was able to eat bread my whole life up to last year. Now whenever I eat it I get so tired I have to sleep. I played outside all the time as a kid... Something else is going on. Also, rural area report more claims than cities. You'd think cities would be "cleaner".
