Why would you want to punish the capitalist levers to ensure these products stay on their toes?!
What is that argument exactly? It appears that a number of these new employees will be staffing the new high-end fitness center with pool, the child care center, cafes and a food pavilion, areas for collaborative working and conferencing, and maintaining the landscaping and open spaces.

Reflexively assuming that all "administrators" are unnecessary bloat isn't much different than the mindset of a corporate raider who wants massive layoffs for increased profitability. It can be a myopic and short-sighted vision of creating actual value.

Also, the School of Medicine, which is arguably the best research medical school in the world and a leader in genetics, genomics, bioinformatics, neuroscience and neurobiology is at ground zero for the genomics revolution and should be more focused on growth, not being pennywise and pound foolish.
For years I've been confused by the two different names. That was an insightful comment.

Also considering the fact that Amazon constructed much (most?) of its office space. But "Amazon funds 25% increase in Seattle's prime office space" isn't as interesting a headline.
Chances are that extension is not yet ported to the WebExtensions API. It should probably be ported eventually, as precisely one of the benefits of WebExtensions is that it makes way more easy to port a Chrome extension to a Firefox one and viceversa.
Regarding the shortcuts, I feel you. There's an extension for that as well (Menu Wizard) but it has also not been ported.
I guess it's too soon yet.
Where's Google's upside in all this? This (maybe) improves their search product, but it doesn't directly make them money.

From a legal standpoint, this behavior is clearly different from their last slap on the wrist.
There's a problem with a lot of HN discussion where people who are very tech savvy tend to have a lot of ideas for how things "should" be. But it's an echo chamber and the average user probably won't care about the nuances in development philosophy. This debate reminds of all the shouting people used to do over Spotify ruining ownership of music. There was a lot of talk about ownership philosophy, DRM and the future of digital rights and "openness" but in the end, it didn't matter because the average user didn't care: convenience won out over whatever perceived philosophical downsides where voiced. Devs can moan about the philosophy behind AMP all day long but the reality is the end experience for the user is an article that loads instantly, looks clean and doesn't bombard with pop-overs. They don't care what tech makes the magic happen, just that it happened. And Google is in a unique position to actually make the web more enjoyable to use and this is the method they chose. Is it right? Maybe...Personally I don't think so, but it does work as advertised. I've heard a lot of people complain about the problems AMP is designed to handle, but as of yet I haven't heard any good alternative solutions. Sorry, but your free-range, open-source, made-with-love ad blocking extension won't be the end all you're hoping...Google is actually in a position to fix the problem and why not let them benefit while at it?
The AMP team asked them to do this.

> Bitcoin IS considered an asset by the IRS

Yes, that is true and nobody was arguing that with you. Thats not controversial or interesting to anybody but you.

It simply makes other considerations necessary to use it practically. And software already exists to alleviate how it is used, when used as payment network rails.

In your attempt to imagine next week's death knell for bitcoin, in the US, you missed all the tax advantages the IRS has created for bitcoin by classifying it as property, such as the ability to like-kind exchange forever and never have a tax event (unless you buy something).

It was due to a conflict between packages (memoir and morefloats) the only seems to happen in recent version of LuaLaTeX. My Lua code was not directly involved, as far as I can tell.
> Yeah, honestly, you can do just as good as an AMP site if all you did was cut back on the javascript and use a service worker to cache static assets/pages.

But people didn't, and here we are. Again, as a normal user, I'm relieved to see the AMP symbol. I click on those links first, to the exclusion of others given the chance, because multiple years of trust have been broken.
Not saying we should ignore the environmental impact, that's what I was getting at in my first sentence when I said falling off a roof and a nuclear meltdown clearly aren't the same level of event. I'm simply saying that people fear nuclear power because they think there's a high risk that a lot of people will die when that hasn't proven to be the case thus far.

There's a real discussion to be made on the trade-offs between the potential environmental damage caused by an accident versus the looming threat of climate change. Unfortunately that discussion isn't really being had because nuclear power's public perception hurdle is so great.

Yes, the natural extension would be doing a similar translation when you copy url from Google search results - replacing the Google.com/...?URL=whatyouwant.example.com with just whatyouwant.example.com (but maybe safari does that already).
"Green coal power systems" keep everyone happy.
A bunch of people have tried to rebrand our most energy-dense fuels (uranium and thorium). "Terrestrial Energy" comes to mind. And the unofficial Thorium PR lead, Kirk Sorensen, rebranded the Thorium-Molten Salt Reactor (T-MSR) as the LFTR (Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor) because "lifter" sounds better. As an engineer I'm a stickler on accurate naming so this suggestion bothers me, and I think the opposing forces will easily be able to point out that it's just a rebranding of advanced nuclear reactors and hurt proponents' credibility. I wish we could just teach people to weigh risks of things like nuclear reactors versus their real benefits (clean air that has saved 1.8 million people already, 24/7 reliability, tiny land/fuel/waste/transportation footprints, etc.) but on the other hand people are more emotional than not. I'm sure you're right that a sweet new name on a nuclear reactor would be a help.

Honestly I consider focus on Thorium fuel itself to be an attempt to rebrand the much broader but equally capable advanced nuclear industry.
> Plenty of celibate 'adult-lovers' prove that just because you can't get what you desire, doesn't mean you will act on it.

But there are also prison cells filled with pedophiles that do produce or consume child porn. Children _cannot_ consent and do learn from abuse. Homosexuality exploits exactly nobody across the entire world population. You said it yourself: pedophiles _desire_ something that we can all agree is harmful, and even if some individuals show restraint, exploitation happens. That's inarguable, and pedophilia carrying stigma is not unwise. Drawing a comparison between homosexuality and pedophilia blurs that distinction between and normalizes stigma against LGBT people. That community doesn't need or deserve any more demonization.

> As for your comparison with addiction, that is actually a victimless crime. Even procuring drugs (including harddrugs) doesn't lead to harm to anyone.

Addiction is a condition, and a lifelong one at that. You don't get rid of addiction, though addicts can live sober lives. In that way, it's not so different from a predisposition like pedophilia. I can empathize with both of these cohorts because they got dealt a bad hand and they can't change it.

Just because addiction shouldn't be a problem doesn't mean it is not, and just because drug use is "victimless" doesn't mean addicts and their families don't suffer and drug traffickers don't do terrible things. Have you ever seen the aftermath of a meth lab explosion? Or driven past the wreckage from a drunk-driving accident? What about seeing a family member fall victim to prescription painkillers, fueling an industry hell-bent on creating addicts? And then watch them sneak away in the early morning to withdraw money at the ATM so they can get a quick hit of something to take the edge off until they can get their prescription renewed because two pills doesn't cut it anymore?

Your final assertion might not be completely false, but it is a vast and undeserved oversimplification. People predisposed to addiction will always be predisposed to addiction. Portugal might have low rates of death from opioids and other drugs (because they're actually treating it), but they're eighth in the world for alcohol consumption. 3.8% of people in Portugal die from alcohol, which--depending on how you measure--can be more than double what we have in the US.

Is this really a flaw in bitcoin?

And I do not agree that this makes bitcoin any less anonymous. There is still the gap between key and owner that needs to be bridged before identification can take place, and I do not believe that the word anonymous guarantees no history available, only that the history cannot be linked to a person. By definition, I mean to say.

I would compare this to a headline titled "bitcoin is less secure" because of the Mt.Gox hack. Similarly not the fault of bitcoin.
The bar for something that roughly has the right muscle and fat blend for you to throw on a hot fire and eat is very different from the one that has to be biocompatible with a living being.

That being said, I do favor the Impossible Foods approach to this. My position is that non-animal products like Impossible Foods can incrementally replace low-to-mid end meat consumption while the high end will continue to be served by actual living animals.
I'm not sure it's technically true; the text on the page needs to be loaded, but that doesn't mean every other HTTP request associated with the page has to have completed before Safari makes the Reader button available. While this is entirely anecdotal, I can definitely see that button appearing before pages are fully loaded.

Consider how lucky we are to even have spent any time at all to reach a point in the cosmos to make this realization. Even if humanity manages to survive past this problem, there are many more including the overconsumption of the world's finite resources. Perhaps it is inevitable given a biological imperative to be selfish. Our means of survival in future generations may be determined by our ability to adapt to withering resources, reuse of existing and exploring space for more. Consider the issue of water reuse; some amount of research suggests that graphene filters when they come to fruition may help with far more reuse and recycle of water. Other work such as the electric transport systems, high speed hyperloops, and 3D print manufacturing combined with a closed loop system may help bring down massive resource waste. There is a lot of tech to be hopeful of but it won't be all positive. Many of it seems to be adaptations to a world which is constantly at risk for extinction

>Success, overwhelmingly, looks a lot like hard work.

And if two people do the hard work with one becoming much more of a success? It's not either or, luck plays a huge factor. Acting is an easy example, how many thousands of people work hard to become an actor? What evidence is there that the successes worked harder?
> They don't care what tech makes the magic happen, just that it happened.

True. But I do care what tech makes the magic happen and the consolidation of the web into a very small number of silos is a dangerous development for many reasons and AMP is one plank in that consolidation game.

> Google is actually in a position to fix the problem and why not let them benefit while at it?

Because their stated reasons for AMP do not align with the implementation details, AMP grabs way too much control for a simple improvement in speed.

One problem is the priorities of regulators. AIUI the US is concerned about direct consumer effects, whereas the EU is more concerned about whether competition is harmed. The problem is that consumer effects can be harder to spot, and if you have little competition, you perhaps don't know what you're missing.

Back when I was in Google Netops we had a healthy (unofficial) fear of having the backbone connect all the way around the world in a circle, especially with high-enough bandwidth links that both directions would start to look attractive to traffic management.

That is an ABSURDLY racist and sexist thing to say, and it is terrifying to me that it is becoming not only socially acceptable, but socially required, to believe and say such things.

CRISPR is bio-tech.

Self driving cars are overwhelmingly regarded as tech in every possible corner of the media universe. Apple, Google, Tesla, nVidia are among the frequent discussion points on self-driving, and it all ties in to AI which is another obvious tech subject.

In both scenarios you have a patent grant before going to court over Patents. The difference is that, in one scenario, you no longer have a patent grant once you go to court. In the other scenario (where PATENTS file never exists), you may still have the patent grant after court.
and each dedicated fiber can run multiple "colors" of light, so multiple customers can have their own segment of the traffic fully isolated from each other.
Part of that was sheer mass. For what, at least 2 weeks (?) there was article after article after article about it. And most articles were posted repeatedly, to the point where it was hard to tell which were posted first and which were posted later. I definitely got sick of seeing the same links over and over again..
I've found it depends on what type of coding I'm doing. Working on an Objective-C in Xcode? I most likely have everything I need. Working on the first stages of a Rails app? Dead in the water at the first sign of `bundle install`.
The HolyC language was mandated by God and therefore needs none of those things.
Ten minutes even seems like a lot. If I saw my website on HN, I'd have alerts set up for new comments.
This is why I hate AMP.

People who like it can't seem to understand that it has a crappy user experience for some people and always assume you don't like it for "philosophical reasons".

I really don't care about AMP from that POV, I just wish it was a secondary link instead of the stealth replacement of where I wanted to go with a page that usually doesn't load and messes up my back button.
That data didn't just magically migrate to a hard drive. Librarians are often leading and coordinating the digitization of archives

One of the biggest problems facing the biological sciences (and scientific research in general) is an exponential rise in the amount of data being generated, but an inability to catalogue and store the information, much less understand it. Modern librarians are inter-disciplinary problem solvers, often embedded in with faculty and researchers, responsible for indexing and archiving a rapidly increasing amount of information.

Plus, books books have thus far proven to be a more durable storage medium than all digital options in current usage. Without them, a solar flare or nuclear war could cause the modern equivalent of the burning of the Library of Alexandria

Ask HN: Has Google News Stopped Showing AMP Links for Anyone Else?

You might find upcoming RPG No Truce With The Furies[1] interesting. From a developer post[2]:

"For the real lowdown — instead of telling you how the Attributes help — let me tell you how they make things worse.

INTELLECT
A high Intellect makes you overly confident – a cocksure intellectual. You’re vulnerable to flattery, and easily lose yourself in details. (The game becomes longer). While having a low Intellect makes you dim and superficial, prone to superstition and being plain wrong.

PSYCHE
A high Psyche comes with emotional turmoil – an unstable psychophant. Great willpower clashing with wild imagination. You may even lose your mind. While a low Psyche makes you uninspiring, inept at influencing people. Unsavoury things come out of your mouth.

PHYSIQUE
Okay, you’re strong but so is your death drive – a mad man and a psycho killer. A high Physique needs to be tested, needs addiction, sex and physical confrontation. You lose your shit over small things. While being un-physical means vulnerable, un-streetwise. Lacking in animal cool.

MOTORICS
A Motoric character is too high strung – a bit of a cokehead. A quicksilver superdetective focusing fast and then reacting (too) sharply. While being low on Motoric means you’re locked into yourself. The world has trouble finding you. You’re clumsy and slow."

http://asciiflow.com/ is invaluable for some pretty quick ASCII diagramming that I can paste into source code or chat or wherever later. But I like that they don't have a billion charting components, it keeps things simple, and if I want it to actually look nice for a presentation or long-living documentation I'm going to use a real charting/diagramming tool... svgbob is neat but I can't imagine a situation where I'd want an ASCII circuit diagram vs a shot of one from a tool like Eagle.

Well, butter is a well-defined substance; there's a reason why "I can't believe it's not butter" isn't called "better butter".

Furthermore margarine is associated with health risks that butter is not; clean is just disingenuous.
