Income tax load in Canada is pretty close to California / NYC, but your also paying for health insurance on top of the tax load. So living in Canada is cheaper than the USA for healthcare costs if your paying similar tax rates.

It only starts becoming an extra cost if you live in an area of the USA with lower taxes than Canada, and you have to add a $9k credit for the Canadian side to account for the out of pocket healthcare expense they would be paying for in the USA.
Why are they crowing about how much faster it is?

I imagine if they stripped off all the stuff from their own sites that doesn't show up on AMP the speed would basically be the same, and they wouldn't be under Google's thumb.

No massive header with lots of images of other stories, no master folder with lots of images of other stories, no giant sidebar with lots of images of other stories… get rid of all of them. All of a sudden your page is really fast and doesn't take 45s to load.

Remember what the web was like on dial-up? Design pages for that but with large images. Text goes a LONG way for navigation and discovery of other stories. You don't need ridiculous big images.

Do something really simple. Make a page with content that looks exactly like the AMP page. AB test that against the AMP page. I'd be willing to bet they basically perform the same, modulo any benefit Google gives you for being part of their lock-in.

Text articles with pictures do not require the complexity of googles infrastructure and systems to be fast and lite.
Assuming stricter typing does prevent smart contract bugs, something like Ada or Spark would seem to be good fit for cryptocurrency development given their track record creating highly-reliable systems:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPARK_(programming_language)

That being said, I spent some time with Ada several years ago and did not enjoy the language; very verbose and anal. If the impression is widespread, such a language could end up hurting a blockchain project by drawing less contributors.

No, in most companies the engineers do not write posts because someone from another company reaches out to the marketing team at that company.... developers don't like that and besides, Oscar is a good guy.
lol guys go see the album, that is exactly what I have done.. there are two copper pads at the back of the cartridge which make contact with two pogo pins when the cartridge is slid all the way in.. so it can charge when its inside and can also be taken out and removed without a problem
I for one do not want to have to bale out those whom didn't have a flood rider, unsing my hard earned money via taxes. Flood riders are a readily available insurance product... and generally inexpensive. Shame on them for not having it.

Personally, my first house was near a creek and I thought that I was plenty far away from it... no problem. But something told me to add a flood rider, just in case. An extra $88 per year and I was covered. Two years later, biggest storm in 50 year knocked out the power and the creek swelled to historic highs. My finished basement had three feet of water in it, before the power was restored. I got coverage and it paid off. If you don't get the coverage, that's your problem.

Go ahead, down-moderate me. I don't care.

Reminds me of one day in the 90s I was out jogging with a colleague. He said that what the world needed was a Java compiler that compiled to native code. He needed one right now, and I should work on it.

I said it was a great idea, and I had already implemented one. He could start using it today.

He promptly lost all interest in it.

(It turns out, on the complex plane the demand for native Java compilers is on the imaginary axis.)

That is understood. My point was that this kind of spending on a project like this should beg the question, "what better opportunities did govt pass up to engage this project," rather than responding w/ complacency; i.e. 'that's just the cost once you factor in compliance.'

> AMP delivers many benefits in terms of performance, consistency, and experience for our mobile users.

Performance: yes.

Consistency: NO. It looks like one of those annoying download-my-app bars, but it isn't, it's a back button. As if I didn't already have one of those.

Experience: NO. It sucks up space on my mobile device, and I can't get rid of it.

User feedback: can't wait for iOS 11 and Safari's anti-AMP. Unfortunately, I don't see anywhere I can give user feedback.
It doesn't, much like the Rob Vagg/Node.js internal politics story we had the other day.
The irony was that we were doing exactly that at The New Yorker (one of the many Conde Nast sites) - rebuilding the article page as a start point.

We had to pause that project and drop it all to go work on AMP...

(so you could fairly say I'm a bit bitter about that)
If they are backporting features well, they're approaching kernel development very similarly to the datacenter.

As an example, the standard server at $large-dayjob-server-farm runs on RHEL 6, with RHEL 7 (the latest release) being used for new machines. Both are still supported for quite a few years into the future. Let's look at their kernel versions: (per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux)

"6.9, also termed Update 9, March 21, 2017; 5 months ago (kernel 2.6.32-696)"

"7.4, also termed Update 4, August 1, 2017; 28 days ago (kernel 3.10.0-693)"

Upstream release timelines:
2.6.32 - Dec 2009
3.10.0 - Jun 2013

Both of these upstream releases are YEARS older than both "current" and what many Android devices are using today - we'll have machines running some patched version of 2.6.32 a decade after its initial release!

So there's obviously a difference in quality of backports and updates here and some grey area in between. I can't with a straight face say that either Red Hat or Google are right or wrong in their approaches here, it's just very different than the frequent-release model that some people are used to.
a lot of people make that assumption long before the cartridge comes out but adding in that second surprise layer might be cool too
Glad to see improvements are coming! Articles like this make me more and more curious whether Fuchsia is an alternative bid to resolve relevant kernel vulnerabilities in a more centralized, architecturally driven fashion, not just a way to get out from under the GPL.

I would actually say it's often not strict enough. In what serious field is it acceptable to only know, say, 70% of the material? Do you want to drive on a bridge designed by an engineer who only got 70% on their exams? It depends on how the test is structured, really, but unless it was one of those tests designed to bring smart people to their knees, I'd rather not.

> The Right hates government so much

I'm not sure which Right you're talking about. Perhaps on taxes & redistribution the right doesn't like the government, but they will always support expansion of the military and police. And many politicians (on both sides, unfortunately) never saw a war they didn't like, because it brings home those sweet, sweet procurement contracts.

I think the proposal was to thread-restrict variables, not objects. (Or more precisely, any variable is either restricted to a thread or guarded by a lock.) So it wouldn't actually stop you from accessing any object you want, as long as you can reach it from something in scope. But it also might not be a very useful safety guarantee.

From the perspective that there's some nature-given right inside of you that gives you the "right" to pursue life, liberty, and happiness, then there's no argument to be had. An axiomatic assumption has already been made on the innate dignity and moral quality of all humans.

From the perspective that rights are a legal device that people or governments create (and enforce) in order to achieve broad social or government aims in the form of a citizen's baseline, then internet as a right should be on the table for discussion. It should be noted that rights as a legal device and rights as an innate moral assumption are not contradictory.

I do believe that internet will become increasingly related to a person's ability to communicate, summon vehicles, find out and talk about government and politics, organize and find human meetings, use maps, utilize business services, or coordinate emergency information.

Without internet, a person can still do these things, but I think there's a general drop in quality of reach and capability. I think there's also a discussion to be had about whether a citizen baseline of internet access means a more prosperous or robust nation.

You seem to be the missing the whole point of AMP's popularity. The glorious sliding carousel on Google.com that gives any news website a massive SEO boost. AMP is the biggest thing to hit the SEO industry in a while. I imagine most of these media companies could not give a shit about website optimization, its all about website monetization.
Now they say use fork-join. ;-)

Point is, some people don’t like threads and probably never will. Other people like threads and probably always will. Some languages have threads and many other programming models and then everyone is happy. I want the people who like threads to be happy in JS.
In case anyone is wondering: this is nonsense.

JS the language has about as much to say about concurrency as C does.
The problem isn't that they wrote the blockchain in JavaScript, it's that the language they chose for user-written contracts and dapps (out of all the languages in the world, mind you) was JavaScript. Meaning that in the future, if this project really takes off (suspend disbelief here), an entire generation of blockchain apps that transfer money back and forth will be built on JavaScript when they didn't have to be. If they chose C as the language for smart contracts/dapps/whatever I would be ragging on them just the same. They had options, and choose the one of the worst ones.
Thread.restrict is about objects.

It’s interesting to also have a function like that for properties and/or variables.
They gave up too soon, let the troll get away to target others. Should have seen the fight through to the end and tried to invalidate the patent.
I can't even find a picture of one they were such a failure, but there was a time that what you're describing existed for AudioBooks.

>The company I work for has no ads. It does no analytics on personal info. It does nothing you would care about. What it is is a SasS product for businesses. We aren't the controller, so we don't need permission from end users, our customers need to get permission from their customers. But end users can ask our customer (the controller) to delete data, and our customer can ask us (the processor) to delete it.

So you do no analytics on personal info, but if someone wants their personal info deleted, you have to delete some of your data.

How does that make any sense? Doesn't that imply that you are, in fact, using their personal info? Or do you subscribe to a moral theory where e.g. browser history is not "personal info" and this is a gripe about how regulators disagree?

These kinds of genetically designed therapies will require some major retooling of infrastructure, capital, regulation, etc., but are fundamentally cheap and curative - for mis/dis-regulation of the body's own systems. Ultimately, the material to be delivered is extraordinarily cheap to produce. There is a LOT of capital that must be recouped to get these innovations up and running, but in time they should dramatically drop in price and accessibility.
There are lots of issues with Backblaze also. You should search past threads to read the comments which folks have posted.

It's not (actually) down but 504 Gateway Timeout error to be precise. It just means that one particular server did not receive a timely response from another server that it was accessing while attempting to load the Quora or fill another request by the browser.

In other words, 504 error usually indicates that a different computer, the one that you're trying to access Quora on doesn't control but relies on, isn't communicating with it quickly enough. Give it some time.
>unless the service they're looking for was illegal to start with.

JavaScript has no type system currently, other than a trivial one with exactly one type. So, adding concurrency via a type system would be like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.

Also, shared memory with no type system help is a proven technique that is used in shipping software and has been for a long time. This leads me to believe that it would be easier to use our existing full shared memory approach to implementing parallel layout than it would be to use your technique. Just the fact that some research experiment did use a type system and concurrency does not mean that this is actually better than the alternative. It just means that it is an alternative.

As for finding concurrency hazards when making things concurrent, you’re sorta talking to the right guy. That’s my bread and butter. Like every hard thing, it becomes easy with practice. Maybe type system help is for people who don’t practice enough.
Ok I am very disappointing with Google in that case
Luckily Wisconsin figured out the solution to this problem... Make the corporate welfare deals an order of magnitude larger and give 3 billion to Foxconn instead of a piddly tenth of that.

Even in the best case for "jobs created" (10,000) pushed by our politicians the state might as well just give 10,000 people $30,000 a year for 10 years.

Realistic estimates are saying the new jobs might be more in the range of 3,000, which is an astonishing cost of $1,000,000 per job.
I would think that it's owing to the frequently single-threaded context of JS that concurrency becomes even more vital for maintaining the liveliness of your app. I also think that identifying aspects of concurrency often means free parallelism speedups, and the user doesn't even have to be aware -- no extra mental price.

No, I get that. But every time one of those publications discusses that they talk about how much faster it is.

I don't like being lied to.

They're not doing it because it's faster, they're doing it because they want the rank boost.

So I think I should just say that. "We did it to get higher rankings because Google prioritizes it." Don't lie and say it was to get things to be faster, you could've done that on your own.

Not willing to say that? Then don't talk about speed. Because you had control over that.
Yeah, but nobody relies on the execution order of disparate callbacks to achieve their results in JS. You're going to get burned in like two seconds if you try to do anything you listed. Lower level concurrency primitives in other languages allow developers to build fragile solutions which work 99% of the time until they deadlock and everything blows up. The concurrency model in JS is very explicit about being "no guaruntees."
I agree completely. That's one of the reasons I love Reddit (with all the crazy themes off) and daring fireball.
