The opposition to the Iraq invasion was vast and loud. There were protest marches against the invasion all over the US, and in many other parts of the world. And yet the NYT editorial supported the war. How is this even possible? How can the NYT, this paragon of journalism, not see what the ordinary people could see, that the case for the Iraq war was rigged?

And by the way, it's not just I who consider it wrong; most of the world does so. You may relish the idea of killing innocent civilians, but most of us do not.

Also things like bulk uploads to a table for migration, would I have to write a service for this? I have an app I would like to migrate that has a sqlite table with static data in it, that I could see using this. I suppose I could use the server connector, but what other tools does this have?
He is totally right excepting popular extrapolation.

The basic idea is that people 'eventually' identify with idea venues, not ideas. If (at venue maturity) a venue stops including your ideas you are internet-dead for the masses.

Idea venues are created through existing outlets at the time of inception and through superior propaganda and propagation models to the point of maturity.

Google is a case in point. They tout themselves as the best and brightest but they pay their bills on advertising.

Every move they make is focused on consumption of their product(s) and they give it away to see who will bite. They collect their data and learn the model. They play the model.

This is sales 101. You don't need to be smart to be google. You just need to know who is smart and who isn't.

I really wished he'd stop playing games but it seems to be Madsen's nature to believe that he can outsmart everybody else. They're also digging around in his past based on some snuff movies recovered from his devices.

OK, why does Google put AMP pages on Google's implementation of the AMP cache above the carousel in mobile, or add the AMP icon to search results that are AMP pages? If AMP pages are faster than regular HTML pages, then Google Search's ranking algorithm would rank higher these faster pages organically.

Maybe. But there are two modalities to this:

1) Implementation often takes one clever person with the requisite knowledge and then everybody copies it if it's a good idea. BitTorrent is a good example. Lots of people could have developed BitTorrent or developed something almost like BitTorrent, but Bram Cohen pulled it all together into one neat, usable package. This modality is probably harder to spot as the "Am I actually clever?" question is difficult to answer with good Bayesian priors.

2) Implementation requires someone with an intersection of skills that limits how many people can exist. My last experience getting an EEG is a good example: the individual pieces of EEG equipment are absolutely primitive to any decent electrical engineer and the user interface to the software is horrifically bad (one step up on reading a paper chart strip). Yet, to improve it, you need an intersection of low-noise analog design, UI programing, signal feature detection and extraction, machine learning applicable to signals, and knowledge of how EEG's work and are used for diagnosis. There simply aren't that many people with all of those characteristics that could move the front forward. However, this modality is VERY easy to spot: "Do I have the intersection of skills necessary to be this person?" is a very straightforward question.

The "issuing bank," which issues your cash back or rewards credit card, has its cut protected by the payment networks. Part of the "interchange," the wholesale cost of processing a payment, is reserved for paying out the issuing bank. The interchange rates are set for the payment processors by the card networks (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, Amex). Whether you spend $100 at the locally owned boutique or Costco, they get paid the same amount. The middleman— the payment processor— gets squeezed by merchants like Walmart and Costco, competing to shrink the margin for the promise of massive volume. But Chase, Captial One, etc. don't have their consumer credit card divisions affected by who processes the card. (Unless you're Citi's processing side with Costco, and only accept Visa. Then your competitors get zero volume from Costco on their mastercards, discovers, and amex cards)

Can you elaborate on this?

From the Skulpt website: "Skulpt is an entirely in-browser implementation of Python."

It sounds like you implemented python in JS, so there is no compilation to JS. The application code is always python and is evaluated on the client, no?

If Apple does not want their devices to be used as intended until an embargo date has passed they should keep them on premises. Once the device is out of the gates the secret is out as well.

NDA's are very effective when you are talking about documents and adults. As soon as you're talking about devices and/or kids NDA's are ineffective because anybody that spots the device can post a picture without any recourse by the company and kids will do whatever they want to in today's connected world.

Whether it was smart or not is another matter but I feel that firing someone over something like this is way too harsh, besides all the good publicity it gave Apple. But I guess when you're a tech-fashion company it's perfectly ok to ignore the realities of producing physical goods and the fact that you're going to have to let your product out of your control at some point.

So, lean splash pages?

I mean, you can already see many publishers (Reddit, ebay, some newspapers like USA Today) doing it. Already gaming AMP.

Technically speaking then, AMP isn't accomplishing a whole hell of a lot, and risks being relegated to "splash page technology", if that becomes a trend.

I'm curious how long it'll take for spammers to start inundating AMP, personally.

"So why do you pretend NOT to know at all that the kernel handles/provides drivers?"

You're failing at reading and understanding any of my words, which means you're likely looking to start a problem. Okay, I'll play along.

I know that the Kernel handles and provides drivers - what you're failing to understand is that I think it's HORRIBLE (and I can prove it hundreds of different ways on any Linux distro excepting maybe SELinux and its flavors.)

Wake me up when the entire Linux graphics subsystem can crash without taking the entire computer, or one single app, along with it. Windows can do this. Linux can not. Linux is therefore doing things poorly.

Even BSD handles this better. Every other OS excepting Linux has bothered to come into the modern age of graphics subsystems around 2007/2008. Linux is still behind and will remain so for the foreseeable future.
My impression is that their purpose isn't to take the market, but to provide an example that others can emulate. If a Nexus is so much better than a Samsung, then Samsung will improve until that is no longer the case, to everyone's benefit. Likewise with Fi and Fiber.

They're quite successful on complex multiobjective problems, but you need a lot of compute power to cover the solution space sufficiently. Most problems either 1) don't have such stringent requirements on multiobjective optimization (i.e. the problem can be recast with a single objective function, likely one with a gradient), or 2) more typical machine learning algorithms are "good enough" and require less compute power. But for instance designing complex geometries under numerous constraints is well-suited to evolutionary algorithms. EAs also shine when the evaluation for fitness is computationally-intensive, as you can defer the fitness evaluations until absolutely necessary.

Windows (current gen) and Linux are the only platforms that have native official Docker runtimes at this point. There is immature support on some BSDs, nothing on OSX that I know of, and some interesting rumours from the SmartOS/Illumos area.

If you target anything other than Linux/Windows, I'd suggest running your containers in a Linux VM, which is what the official Docker app on e.g. OSX does underneath anyway. In that case, you may not need to consider VM-backed OSes as separate platforms, since according to the code in your container it's still on Linux.

Also, you may already know this, but: if you're building Linux apps (ELF binaries or linux-specific APIs), the docker containers you can run on Windows will still (I think) run in a Linux virtual machine under the covers, so it doesn't really count as a different platform unless you're distributing a Windows application to Windows, and are compiling it for Windows.

> GOOG, FB, AMZN

A tiny nitpick, but what's with the trend of using stock symbols in non-financial context? GOOGL isn't much shorter than Google, same with AMZN and Amazon. It just looks... annoyingly out of place.

Regarding the article itself, the topic of Facebook/Amazon/Google domination is much spoken and written about and this post doesn't really add much new. This issue is well known for a quite a long time, especially in the HN and similar social circles. What most of the posts are missing is how do we escape this? But that might be too late.

Well done. That's the type of counterargument I was looking for. I already suspected the "broke all my fingers, one by one" claim to be a gross exaggeration, at the least. The video itself did not support the claim, and it would seem easy enough to establish or disprove after the fact with hospital records.

From what I saw, "they threw me down the stairs" is also obvious exaggeration. While it is not a preferred manner of descent, I think "they dragged/forced me down the stairs" would have been more accurate.

It is still clear that police used force. It is not clear to me whether it was an appropriate use of force by Spanish or European standards.

This is the sort of thing that is commonly accepted from American cops during protests, even though it is nominally unconstitutional for them to deprive people of their right to petition the government for redress under color of law. So I genuinely don't know whether that is the sort of thing that gets Spaniards angry at their government.

"This web is still alive and well, nobody stops you from grabbing a domain name and launch anything you wish"

I'd dispute that! There are much larger applications built on Anvil; it's just hard to build a two-week project for a demo video, and harder still to build a two-month one ;)

But the biggest apps are, of course, our customers', and we can't really publish them as examples.
