I feel for your brother and understand your fatherly fears. I have three sons. They are all fine now, but ... One got hit by a drunken driver, one broke his neck, and the other fell onto a wrought iron fence which stabbed through his skull and into his brain. All three are healthy and active. Each came so close to death. As you say, many of the largest changes are quite beyond our control. I frequently find myself having to choke back the terror to keep focus and keep moving.
Thanks! It reports the same thing for me too now. I had to enable Top document isolation (chrome://flags/#enable-top-document-isolation) as well.
... and why is that? why can we ask for benefits? Another irony is the hydro-power we get from the Niagara Falls energy generation, yet we pay the highest energy costs in the country in Erie County .. we sell most of that hydro power to PA and OH. It seems rather upside down, IMHO.

It's interesting to see how much Amazon can keep going. Bezos seems like the kind of person who can delegate responsibility extremely effectively -- is there a limit to this or will Amazon start being hobbled by it's own weight.
I like the idea of an independent system that doesn't require publishers to opt-in to AMP. But in addition to Speed Index, I'd apply a perceptual diff to an ideal content rendering based on AMP-like heuristics.

Imo, it's (or at least was) a great simple language to get started in programming: you can get results fast, stay engaged, and enjoy the process of learning with it, while creating cool stuff.

I feel like sometimes people lose sight of the fact that languages are a means to an end, not an end in and of themselves. If you love to write perfect lines of beautiful code in Rust and that's enough for you, that's great, but why do you need to bash people enjoying themselves with a tool they're comfortable with to create things?

In my experience some parents pick certain things to be over-protective about, or catering too much to their kids. A good friend of mine introduced me to this family with a couple kids that were still not able to tie their own shoes, the youngest was 12 years old. Another friend of mine (well his wife) won't let their daughter do basically anything outside without a helmet and other pads, even jump roping. People probably think she's special needs.

I still force him to hold my hand when we're anywhere near cars, and I worry when I can't hear him. But I also look the other way when I know his step-brother is playing a little too rough with him. And I let him bang hammers in the garage when I'm working in there. I guess I'm trying to find a balance, but I'm sure I make some mistakes.
Does your problem gets easier/solved with a permissionless ownerless database, if "yes" then you need a public blockchain, if "no" you need something else.
You have to take into consideration cultural and social factors too. In my experience people in the US drive very dangerously no matter the traffic laws.

One of the craziest encounters in my life was driving on a windy rural road and getting stuck behind a tractor. The road was so windy there was no passing zones for miles. It was frustrating, yes, but part of driving on that kind of road. Eventually a driver came behind me. Without skipping a beat he or she passed both of us (illegal) in a no passing zones (also illegal) and ON A BLIND CORNER! Nobody was coming but that driver had zero way to tell that.

My heart still jumps a little just thinking about it.

Another issue happened in Brooklyn. I was driving on a narrow residential street with cars parked on both sides going a little over 20mph. I did not feel safe going any faster as a kid could jump out between the parked cars at any time. Guy comes up behind me and just lays on the horn for a good couple blocks (it's NYC after all). Then the car passes me illegally and took off going at least 40 mph.

It doesn't look that way:

>...During the study year, there were an estimated 115
stereotypical kidnappings, defined as abductions perpetrated
by a stranger or slight acquaintance and
involving a child who was transported 50 or more
miles, detained overnight, held for ransom or with
the intent to keep the child permanently, or killed.

So, 115 children were abducted by strangers that year.

Like you said, it's hard for people to overcome emotional biases.

As a comparison, sharing a bed with a baby (which many people think is safe) is implicated in thousands of deaths a year:

>...After analyzing data on 8,207 infant deaths from 24 states that occurred between 2004 and 2012, researchers determined that nearly 74 percent of deaths in babies younger than 4 months occurred in a bed-sharing situation, according to the study published Monday in Pediatrics.

>Among older infants – those aged 4 months to 364 days – the rate was slightly lower at nearly 59 percent.

As another comparison, over 1,600 children under 15 years of age die each year in car accidents.

I keep telling myself that when someone finally takes Google down, AMP would standout as example of where Google went wrong. Basically, almost every search result I click on now requires THREE clicks:

1. click from the search page to the search result AMP page

2. click on a link on the AMP page to see the original link

3. click on the original link to bring the original search result
Because they did that, for years, and next to nobody changed anything.

Fast websites stayed fast, and slow websites stayed slow. They also gave out tons of free "speed test" tools to make it easy for developers to test their speed, and improve it. They even made apache and nginx plugins that would auto-optimize assets as it served them! And still basically nobody used them.

Plus it's not just about "faster than XXXms". What is that time measured to? Time to text on the screen? Can they game it by lazy-loading images, then videos, then ads, then 6mb of other javascript and social networking stuff and a comment system and...?

You could try a "size limit", but then you penalize asset heavy sites (like high-resolution image sharing sites, or video sites).

So their solution was to make a very restrictive system where you are forced to do things "the right way" (for at least one definition of "right"), and to pump that up in the search results.

Plugins were made for common blogging and news platforms, and now a portion of the web loads significantly faster for many, and I think that's a win.

It's not perfect, but it's at least the first thing that I've seen google try in this area that is actually working.

Obviously there is benefit to Google as a company in that now results that are served through their AMP system are faster than those of some of their competitors, and AMP gives them a nice easy way to pull some structured information from an article for things like the carousel or other non-search offerings, but I genuinely don't believe that was the main motivator, seeing as Google has years of examples of failed attempts to "fix" this problem (though maybe I'm just not cynical enough!).

It's not 2005, there's a much higher population of people that have at least enough experience to follow directions such as that.

But most ICOs are blatant scams trying to justify their useless tokens, Kodak included.

My windows 10 machines will not receive the update automatically for some reason. I think it is because I had defender completely disabled via group policy since it interferes with some of my development activities surrounding node.JS.

I know a friend of the family from decades ago when I was a child. The father of the family had some alcohol but wasn't plastered. On the way home he drive like he did thousands of times before, a girl darted out in front of him. He couldn't stop in time and she died.

He went to jail for years. His family was almost destroyed. His wife had no college education and had to work multiple jobs at minimum wage to support her three kids. Once he got out, nobody would hire him and he had tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of dollars (or more) that he owes the family of the dead daughter.

At no point am I trying to argue he wasn't responsible for killing that girl. But watching a "normal" family with a completely "normal" father be completely destroyed makes me wonder if this is what justice is supposed to look like.

Thousands of dollars aren't going to bring that little girl back to life, but they could have gone to not ruining his three daughters lives. Is sending them into poverty instead of college, a kind of blood debt, the solution?

And shouldn't we make a distinction for "justice" between bad people who never learn from their mistakes, and good people who make one horrific mistake that 99% of us would have "lucked out of" in a near miss?

I honestly don't know. All I know is that society loves to label people as monsters, and I think it's to make us feel safe about ourselves. "They're" the monsters, the outliers, so we have nothing to fear about our own actions. We're nothing like them. We have nothing in common... until we take that one road we took a thousand times before...
probably because Intel doesn't look too fondly at companies who make ARM motherboards.

I believe it's high time the long history of anticompetitive actions by Intel end, and their near/effective monopoly in major market segments be regulated.
Thanks for posting this. I am not bullish on SNAP but I highly encourage people to look at that data here. It is a much less dramatic story than the article, a lot of the data actually looks pretty good and at this point the data is fairly out of date anyway (a full quarter has passed since it was gathered). The one graph that is included in the story, showing that Maps is not being used much, is the only truly negative graph I could find.
As I understand it, a round-trip request on a mobile network can be very expensive [0]. One of the ways that AMP enables sites to load instantly-upon-click is by starting those requests in the background. (Then, when the user clicks, it's just a matter of bringing the IFRAME into view - no network involved.)

Loading a traditional site can have side effects (e.g. reporting a view to an advertiser's analytics). By using the AMP validator, Google Search knows it's safe to preload and prerender an article, without triggering side-effects like analytics.

So it's more than just loading faster than some threshold; it needs to be safe to cache and prerender the content. The AMP validator is what asserts these are both safe.

(Note, I don't work on AMP and don't represent Google - this is my personal understanding.)

I couldn't agree more. As I've been devising a patching plan over the past few days I couldn't help but wonder "how long will I have to do this"? My hope is that in future OS releases (say, Windows Client/Server 1803) the mitigations will be default-on for clean installations (minimally).

Or, to look at it this way: We cut our cake up to 10 pieces. You keep eight of them and I keep two of them. You eat one piece and I eat two pieces. And then I'm the glutton because I ate more pieces than you did and you can't argue with the numbers.
This is a perfect way of putting it.

How Meltdown and Spectre Were Independently Discovered by 4 Research Teams
From what I have read on the matter, yes. If you made gains on one crypto and converted that into another, you own tax on the gains of the first one.

How does loss account in this situation? Suppose some crypto has fallen and I am in loss - does this 'loss' (at current valuation) help reduce the tax liability?

Not sure how or why AMP is better at delivering a better web experience to anyone than a properly and efficiently designed website.
In theory it does, but there are a lot of open questions there (including whether Apple will implement it). I'd say the search engine placement is the bigger of the two issues anyway, as it clearly shows Google putting their thumb on the scale.
This is true. The number of child abductions by strangers in the U.S. is extraordinarily low—in the neighborhood of 100 per year [1, 2]. There are lots of abductions, of course, but nearly all of them are by family members, acquaintances of the family, or other non-strangers.

Why does anyone have to change anything? If a site decides to allocate resources towards content vs. speed is that so bad?
The Bills comment gave me a chuckle. :)

Oddly enough its not the amount of snow, but rather the severity of it. I was born in Virginia - dad in Florida, mom in Georgia. :) I'm here because pops moved to Syracuse and I lived in Cortland area, before moving here (and a stint for college in AL).

What really WAS the catalyst for downtown was not SolarCity or anything major, but the total opposite.

Chris Collins (R) - despite his negative reputation - started out as our County Executive and in combination with Brian Higgins, balanced our budget and make Buffalo profitable for once after some dark economic times, while Higgins asked Bass Pro its intentions at the for Aud site (previous home of the Sabres). They (after several years of promising to build a mega-store) backed out and we created a ton of smaller projects - not continuing on the path of the "silver-bullet" approach to anchoring the downtown on.

So ... Republican ideas (not dominant liberal thinking) IMHO was the catalyst. Collins comes from the business sector, much like Trump. Mind you, I am not trying to make a political point here - merely a strategic small business / economic en-devour that helped Buffalo get back on its right track.

Mayor Brown is actually a good mayor. Thoughtful even .. but Collins set him up to be - again subjective opinion. I like Byron personally ... and lukewarm on his politics, however ... he has maintained great en-devours here. I just hope he goes into the East Side of Buffalo with as much as we have here as downtown.

I remain optimistic that the leadership we have now, will see the benefits of making our minority populations ... better.
