But they could do the best of both worlds if they wanted. The launch of AMP was coupled with the "carousel" that appears at the top of search result pages. Only AMP pages are eligible to appear in that carousel. Why not keep the carousel, but prioritise by overall load time?
If you put "giga" everywhere you increase the hype, increased hype probably means a higher share price, a higher share price means more money for investors (virtual or real money, it doesn't matter), more money is good.

That is a great article because it sheds light on actual technical reasons for the current behavior.

NEW HIGH-SPEED COMMUNICATIONS BUS: Xerox Corporation recently made a public announcement of a new concept of processor-to-processor communications intended for an office environment. This novel concept is called "Ethernet", and is a result of some of the work being done in their research labs. In this concept, a single coaxial cable is used as a high-speed communications bus between all processors; communication protocol is handled through software or software supplemented by special-purpose hardware. Rumor has it that an Ethernet processor is now being developed by some form of joint arrangement between Xerox and Intel.

it's a very noble approach, but the facts are not in your favour. The 'people' that keep bitcoin valuation high are: early adopters (including ones who lost access to their wallets), HODLers and speculators and perhaps a few casual drug buyers. As a mainstream currency, BTC is pretty useless at world scale.

That's recklessly fast for a vehicle people are far less likely to hear, see, or be familiar with judging the speed of. Could he had seen you, and figured you were compent enough to slow down & avoid slamming into him?
I have a very low datacap, I don't want a website to preload anything, I'd rather have a slow load.
Well, since some of the BSD folks publicly stated that they’d ignore any embargo, that seems like a pretty predictable consequence. And in this case I understand that it took a while to develop workable mitigations. Immediate disclosure might have caused great harm.
I use bitcoin.tax and it's made things so much easier. You can import trading history from the major exchanges and for any non-major exchange trading you can import manually or with a CSV.

It's free for up to 100 "events" (trades, mining, gifts, income, etc) and a reasonable $20 per year for anything above that.

I'll be taking the output from that software to give to my accountant and go from there.

Meltdown
>> When you are betting

Full stop. You are trading or investing - if the word "betting" passes through your brain, stop now. The public surge of interest in crypto currencies is a redistribution of wealth from retail speculators to professional speculators. You aren't betting on the technology, developer community, ecosystem, or adoption anymore. At this point, you are betting you aren't the last one to the party.
I imagine it is like anything else: they don't know, but if they do an audit or another agency is investigating you for something else and they notice, then they start investigating it.

I do think it is fair to say that there are more than 802, apparently, people in the United States in 2016 that mined/bought/sold bitcoin so they definitely see there is a problem.
Naval does a much better job of explaining what the tech is about : https://startupboy.com/2014/04/01/the-fifth-protocol/

However, OP nor Naval, really understand the protocol, or wouldn't be supporting non-blockchain things like ethereum (there is nothing that you can do with ethereum but not with git).

>One of these developers, Vitalik Buterin, was frustrated by Bitcoin’s immobilism

I am amazed at how HN is selling a promo story invented for media by ethereum as a company. Digging IRC logs would reveal how Vitalik convoluted each aspect of the tech(and was often wrong)to the point that the devs stopped caring and let him be. Even technically, I have answered this on HN and other places numerous times - tell me one thing you can build with ethereum but not with bitcoin? (On the opposite, ethereum can't do money - mutable chain).
AMP pre-loads content, and no third party site can do that, so it's probably impossible to be as fast as AMP.

The narrative of wanting to monopolize user traffic doesn't make much sense in light of the recent announcement around URLs.

Best practices can reduce page load time from ~10s down to ~1s and then preloading can reduce it to maybe ~20ms. Google's "preloading or nothing" attitude and the refusal to discuss tradeoffs between market power and speed really isn't helpful.

That's exactly why what we need is a common framework such that when every person and company does make their own cryptocurrency, the exchanges can handle settlement and barter-matchmaking in a seamless and mostly automated fashion.

So if Kodak has a standing offer to register stock photos and do rights clearance and licensing forever for X Eastmans, and I have a standing offer to exchange software development services for Y Blammos per day, the computing power that people offer in exchange for Hypotheticoins cranks through an arcane and unspecified algorithm, then spits out a result where I get what I want, and I have to do some work for an ex-dental-hygienist that once worked for my dentist. And I also get some change for it. For doing the job, I not only get the Kodak service, but I also get a medium 2-topping pizza from the nearest Domino's, an oil change and brake inspection from my regular mechanic, and 3 weeks of lawn-mowing from a kid on the next block.

To my knowledge, Bitcoin can't do this, and an assortment of fragmented unitasker coins can't do it without an array of attached service businesses like Coinbase and BitPay.

I'm really keen on a future where cryptocurrency enables a gift-barter economy, where you can make wishes, and grant other people's wishes. The more you grant to others, the more you get in return. I think that's a kind of thing that most people can really support, but it hasn't happened already, because the administrative overhead is a nightmare. With human matchmakers in the loop, you can only reasonably handle big wishes, and so you can't pay people back for helping to grant them. And so the recipients are kids with terminal cancer or rescued animals or something, so the givers get paid with warm fuzzies, or a kind of pay-it-forward IOU that might possibly go all the way around the world and come back. With an automated and distributed system cranking away on it, you can get that jar of homemade pickles for calling up a complete stranger to wish them happy birthday, or get a free beer for reciting one line at the right time in someone's bizarre public performance art. Or maybe you can finally get that pothole filled in front of your house, and all you have to do is reduce 300 MB of traffic survey data to determine the 85th percentile of traffic speeds.

You can't stop everyone from making their own coins. Might as well try to make them all work together.

Boston and Cambridge have required municipal trucks to have side rails. They can't compel anyone else to follow through. That's a tiny fraction of trucking that we see.
See, that's the thing. There are a lot of thing we can do without actually charging folks outside of tax dollars. Take one of the more simple ones: Stricter traffic policing, especially in neighborhoods and people-prone (and therefore pedestrian-prone) areas. People can avoid any fines, and we can even pre-warn folks about it.

Now, some folks will be upset they can't go as fast and stuff, but they get used to it.

Some things aren't even obvious to folks, like roads designed to decrease speed. Generally, they are narrower rather than wider. I'm not sure folks will put the two together. Roundabouts? Well-timed streetlights, so long as you are going the speed limit? The first folks complain about, the second gets folks to go the speed limit.

The thing I'd personally implement that would get outcry is increased drivers education, which would increase cost. Id' have everyone take an actual course unless they have previously held a license in recent years. I think some exception could probably be made for farm families (special license for equipment and off-road vehicles) and quell the outcry a little bit.
But the market price didn't drop.

An aggregator changed its reporting methodology. Coinmarketcap is a price aggregator, not a market. All of the markets are unaffected, it just happened that the markets that got removed from the aggregator are the ones that had the highest prices. But they're still there. You can still trade on them the same as before.

I think it's an issue of gamers vs non-gamers.

As a gamer, I've used several different controllers over the years, so picking up a Vive controller didn't feel different or unnatural at all. But many non-gamers will hold it near the bottom of the wand and then be unable to even find the trigger button.

I haven't used a Touch controller, but looking closer at it, it looks like overall the controller is smaller and more ergonomic. There's only one way to hold it, and it's obvious. It definitely looks more friendly to smaller hands.

Cyclists are as often as not part of the problem where I live. I am both a cyclist and a driver and it influences my behavior in both cases. It is fairly easy to spot cyclists that do not drive (when they are over the age where they could have a driving license) and drivers that never cycle.
There is definitely a portion of people that this applies to. However, I’d wager that the majority of the Cryptocurrency market capitalisation is from people that really want to become millionaires really fast.

You're just speculating and I personally think you're wrong.
This is the same standard all assets are held at.

Your point is moot. That ship sailed 100 years ago.
Certainly, and the government has much abused its secret keeping ability. But, sometimes secrets matter. One example I know of is we had almost captured Osama Bin Laden in Tora Bora by tracking his cell phone. Then, a senator told the media we were tracking his cell phone, and we lost him, dragging on the war for many more years. Or, during WW2 if Germany had known we'd cracked Enigma, we would have lost a tremendous advantage. And, if the Germans had stolen our nuke technology and beat us to the bomb drop, the war could have turned out totally differently.

It's nice in an utopian kind of way, but it's actually less efficient - i.e. more costly overall. So you're talking Facebook paying for their hosting by showing ads vs you trying to charge customers real money or slow down their computers. I have a guess which one is going to prevail.
Frustrating to see prices change, but it sounds like you were up for doing the work at the old price, so it could be a learning opportunity...

Alternatively, you might be able to sell the cells (at a loss) to recoup some funds and still end up with solar power for cheaper than you were originally intending to pay!
> Why would you advertise on that

A small percentage of companies are actively advertising on that. The featured stories (ads) on Snapchat almost always use sexual imagery to bait you into opening them. I agree, I don't think that's a sustainable model and it honestly shows how desperate Snap is to make revenue to allow these sort of ads.
I feel like reusable rocket ships are way better than cathedrals
One need only take a look at Kodak's sales in the last decade to see why this is happening. Just like we got Long Blockchain as a ploy to keep the company stock from being delisted,I'm sure we'll be seeing many more companies that are circling the drain looking to blockchain as a hail mary. This doesn't mean that there aren't legit use cases for the tech, but we're gonna be seeing a lot of shoe horning into blockchain in the coming years by failing companies.
Uncompressed, unbounded images, and lengthy nonsensical Javascript predates ads by quite some time. I remember those days well enough.
> It's not practical to lower the speed limit for every house that has children.

Yes it is. Do you mean, it would make driving more inconvenient, since drivers would have to slow down when they passed?
FWIW, they did let performance factor, slightly, into ranking, but there was never a "fast" icon (one was rumored, but never shipped). An icon like that would've easily motivated folks, no need for AMP to be involved.

That being said, there are technical reasons why this hasn't happened yet. The good news is that some web standards (ex: https://wicg.github.io/feature-policy/) are being worked on that would (hopefully) allow Google to verify performance of sites without relying on AMP.

This would give Google no excuse to give AMP content special treatment, and would hopefully relegate AMP to what it should've been since day one: a framework for performance, but one that wasn't required or bolstered by any Google-colored carrots.
Common use of the term predates Android phones by at least a decade, so I'm going to resist this new "soft-brick" designation as both misleading and unuseful.

Having your phone go into a boot loop or corrupting your MBR has historically not been considered "bricked", but just having a corrupted install. It's generally not that hard to fix or find someone to fix, which is why it wouldn't be considered bricked.

Getting a device to a state where it's unrecoverable, or at least requires custom equipment and lots of knowledge about it to fix (and I'm not talking USB key fob and how to reset an MBR, or even a serial port connection, I'm talking JTAG connectors).

People familiar with putting experimental linux hobbyist distros on devices with no support, such as the Sharp Zaurus or wireless routers circa 2000 know what this means.
Cops just want to feel like they're doing something productive. Best just to ignore them.
I mean the detractors are still right. The sites that AMP is relevant for are mostly static content that can be made blazing fast without AMP.

The kick in the pants was really Google throwing their weight around something which could have been done in a number of different things. Hell Google could have charged to use their CDN in exchange for totally not favorable ranking and an icon and raked in the cash.

There's something truly fascinating about meeting these sorts of people.

I've never met Steven Fuller, but I had the joy of speaking with Frank Sanders [1] at Devil's Tower National Monument. His story is a similar one - after decades of traveling the country, he found a park which captured him entirely, and never left. He lives within the monument, climbs the tower almost daily, and gives occasional talks at the park campsite. He's also a resource for the park rangers there - he holds no position, but has longer tenure and more familiarity with the site than any of them.

Flowery language seems inescapable in this description. He was the human version of a genius loci - inextricably bound to a single place, and familiar with it to a depth surpassing what one would think possible. I don't think the comparisons to shamans are merely metaphorical. This sort of intimate knowledge of land feels supernatural, to the degree that it helped me understand how people might believe someone was communing with nature spirits.

It's something all too close to lost today. I'm grateful to have met Sanders, but it saddens me that people like this are so scarce in our world.
