Have you told your sales people that they are assholes for telling your future customers about services that do not quite exist or do not quite work?

One thing to consider: Google Pay, at least now, checks if bootloader is unmodified. This means it wont't work for you on many devices if you prefer installing pure android (like AOSP) instead of vendor provided. Uniting online payments under one google Pay umbrella will make experience for such people (me including) worse. Would be nice if Googlers would consider this.
I personally find a lot of the material about cognitive biases hard to swallow -- I was forcing myself really hard when I read Kahneman's book. There were some good points but while reading it something just seemed off in a way similar to trying to break down the world into a rigid dichotomy -- likes "is the a ok approximate anwser?" "Yes" "Would I use it?" "Possibly with great skeptism and appropriate weight given the context, but likely not"

+1, another happy Zen customer here. The only ISPs worth bothering with are Zen and A+A, and if I wasn't with Zen I'd be with A+A.

Only minus point with Zen: initial tech support can be a bit clueless at first. Also, always have a spare modem for testing if you're on DSL.

Why faking? As a user, I prefer AMP pages because they load much faster. Often it's just because they don't have as many ads (and a non-amp page would be as fast then) but I can't see that from the search result.
Isn't diet soda consumption also declining in favor of seltzer water (i.e. La Croix?). I thought the reason why La Croix has exploded over the past 2 years or so is because canned carbonated water is the best no calorie/no artificial sweetened alternative to soda.

IIRC MS enterprise licensees are charged for "software assurance", which is an annualized fee they pay for regular updates and upgrades. This looks like it's continuing with Windows 10.

On the consumer side, Microsoft would really like you to not buy a Mac. Since Mac's OS updates are free, it just makes sense that Windows is free anyway - they made very little on retail Windows sales anyway. I guess they figure they'll make their money when people upgrade laptops/desktops or buy other form-factors, e.g. 2-in-1s or tablets.

The Google console is quite helpful in tracking errors on your page. You can obviously do that yourself but for small projects, using Google's console is easier.

Search analytics is another topic that obviously needs a page on their side.

Overall I'm happy with Google's console, especially compared to Bing.

Control-C handling is pretty horrendous in C/C++ multithreaded programs, too. I remember writing code to re-dispatch the signal to the actual main thread, as a different signal, so that we could actually run an interactive menu in the handler.

(It turns out that while you "shouldn't" do POSIX IO from a signal handler, on Linux this works fine 99% of the time so you can write() a menu and read() the input character before deciding whether to stop your program cleanly or uncleanly.)

I'd stick my head out and guess they promote at year end. That's why people complete most tasks in Sep-Nov, just in time for promotion/salary increase. From January, no one cares about performance for another 6 months so performance is low.

Nice argument from ignorance there.

I'm aware of that, but most parts of Zone 1 are still not very densely populated. And where they do, more apartments tend to be empty or only used for a few days per week. Residential areas in WC and EC postcodes can appear like a ghost town on some days.
If your definition of "URLs" includes "IRIs" (a term nobody really uses but which encompasses the idea that you can use Unicode in URLs), then this isn't a good assumption to make.

I would rather pass around a link to https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/メインページ than to https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%B3%E3... , and lots of software will support both. And if you want all URLs to be ASCII, you'll need to convert the first into the second, not just delete the Japanese characters.
Nothing in that says Disney can block producing derivative works based on works in the public domain. It's simply stating that Mickey Mouse can be a trademark and trademarks can last forever. But trademarks are also subject to fair use, for example when factually describing a product.

So a Steamboat Willie YouTube video would be either redistributing a public domain work or it would be a derivative work. And calling it "Steamboat Willie" would be descriptive.

I think Disney would have an uphill battle to stamp out all uses of Steamboat Willie. Though they certainly have the money to do so regardless of what the law seems to indicate.
> I get that if somebody's partner dies an untimely death it's unkind to simultaneously remove their family income, but 70 years seems like a ridiculously long buffer.

at the risk of sounding like a broken record, I think we can eliminate a lot of this "friction" if we have an effective basic income. I get that eliminating things like copyright could lead us back to an age where only art that people make is basically with some wealthy feudal lord's patronage but it doesn't necessarily have to be that way.
Thank you, that's helpful!
This was a really good viewpoint as it made me realize that the listed things are not only useful mental models but deeply connected to values. These models are used to guide your thinking which will affect your behavior. Therefore it's very important to be careful with what rules-of-thumb you decide to follow.

Of course, it's also important to reflect on your thinking and be able to spot the exception that proves the rule. But it's unrealistic to be constantly vigilant about your own analysis of things. You need abstractions (eg. mental models) to be efficient, but leaky abstractions will ruin you.
I recently left Virgin Media because their pricing was going up and up and just not competitive. I later found out they were charging me for a set top box that I never asked for but installed anyway and I didn't know it was de-bundled when I downgraded to freeview only services. They deliberately obfuscate the bill so you don't notice and had the cheek to put it up even more when the phone number was taken over by the new provider without telling or informing me.

And the Tivo box they give you is the most infuriating piece of rubbish I've ever used. Such a depressing state of TV experience.
> it's all the necessary complexity without any unnecessary complexity to fulfill your testsuite

As I said, it doesn't solve the problem of overcomplication/simplification, it just shifts the burden on to the test suite instead of the program.

A warning to those taking these numbers seriously. I had a go of Tenence service after reading and it's property valuation service gave Very dodgy results for my previous properties.

For my last property it gave the wrong square footage and it's valuation method is ridiculous. For example, sold 2010 £200k sold 2017 £400,000 -> valuation £300,000?

Valuing a property based on the average of previous sold prices regardless of time-scale is nonsense and needs to be fixed. If not, I am looking forward to buying that Mayfair townhouse last sold in 1930 for £1,000 ;-)
Just because a media outlet might have been aggressively attacked his memo, doesn't mean his arguments are valid. He cherry picked various pieces and came to conclusions that weren't causal. At the end of the day, his perception of what is happening at Google is just that, perception.

2017 was full of web development with JavaScript and React for me [0]. It was time to peak into another subject. That's why I started to learn about machine learning in the last months of 2017 and want to continue this endeavour in 2018. My desire is to spread the knowledge for web developers and JavaScript enthusiasts [1]. Maybe I can give people coming from web development the opportunity to hop on the machine learning train by using JavaScript instead of having to learn another programming language (Python) for it. At the moment, I learn ML myself by implementing the learned things in JavaScript [2].

It does every time you run a native application, for the same values of "random, unexpected and untrusted."

>It's quite different from javascript where the code is literally executing uninvited, often by 3rd or 4th or 5th parties of the website I visit.

Fine. Turn it off then. That's an option you don't really have in any other runtime, so take advantage of it. But just because you don't want javascript on the web doesn't mean it doesn't belong there when authors choose to include it as part of the content they serve.

Also, how exactly does one run "3rd, 4th or 5th party" javascript?

In my head, I was making a clever remark that succinctly poked fun at HN discussions, Bill Gates, transhumanism and the difficulties of futurology. I may have been overly-optimistic.
It's not actually a hot-button issue, at least not on the level of gender and race stereotyping. Claiming a difference based on birth order is more likely to elicit a "you're behind the times" type of response rather than a "you're a horrible person" type of response if you claimed a gender or race based difference.

I don't think it should be ignored just because there are more hot-button issues that can be fixed- recruiting women and racial minorities into STEM is probably a better bang for your buck than trying to level out a 1 point difference in IQ based on birth order (how would that even happen?). Even though birth order has a low effect size, it would be nice to know why it happens and how much we could do to change it.

It was slower than git, used more disk space and hence downloading from remote took longer, didn't allow in-place branching (you had to change directory), no history re-writing and didn't have the staging area in the same way.

They tackled some of these issues but by then they had a reputation and a lot of projects had switched to git - Linux gave it a lot of momentum.
In fact, ftfy already figures that text out! Here are the recovery steps that the website outputs:

import ftfy.bad_codecs # enables sloppy- codecs
s = '!Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â¡!HONDA POW'
s = s.encode('sloppy-windows-1252')
s = s.decode('utf-8')
s = s.encode('sloppy-windows-1252')
s = s.decode('utf-8')
s = s.encode('latin-1')
s = s.decode('utf-8')
print(s)

And the decoded text is (for some reason):

!¡!HONDA POW

my own experiences of BT have made me leery of using them. their customer service is utterly appalling. just consistently, every single time i've had to deal with them, help a friend or family member sort out their bs, it's a horror. we even had to move our business away from their service because we just couldn't have meetings and do screenshares consistently.

even if i wanted bt fibre, i live in the center of a large city in the uk, and i cant get fttc because im on the wrong street. one street over they can get fibre, mine, not a chance - and no plans to according to openreach either. similar issue with where our office is located. wrong street. no fibre. a few streets over, fibre.

virgin on the other hand, i have their 200/20 package. consistently max out the connection no problem. had them for years and they've consistently performed above expectations - i even remember when they were called blue yonder.

Do you think that mental health treatment should just be made available for free, or that people should be forced to use it as well?

Because the problem with the former is that people with mental health issues will likely not cooperate.

And the problem with the latter is that forced medical treatment because someone's mind doesn't work the way you think it should is a very very dark thing to start doing...

Do you understand the difference between "tweet to access" and then purposely banning access and having a buggy feature? He told them they could use the service when they couldn't. The service wasn't buggy, he actively banned them, told them he would unban them if they did X, and then kept them banned.

If you still think that's okay, there's a fundamental disagreement here we'll never reconcile.

From the article:

> while maintaining the [...] privacy benefits of AMP Cache serving

"AMP Cache serving" == hosted on Google's server. This makes this statement at best, stupidly oxymoronic, at worst, deliberately dishonest advertising.

> privacy reasons make it basically impossible to load the page from the publisher’s server.

Browsers (including Firefox[0][1]) already do this. There are no "privacy reasons" preventing this. The only reason not to do this is to present another justification for opting into their AMP Cache product.

> can take advantage of privacy-preserving preloading and the performance of Google’s servers

Also a contradiction of terms.
