> What I'm getting at is maybe AMP is Google's way to make the problem easy. Sometimes when a general problem is difficult, you're better adding restrictions to make the problem tractable.

It absolutely is! (Sorry if I made it sound like it wasn't). That's what the goal is of Feature Policy and other standards too: to add restrictions to make it easier to solve.

> Can you elaborate? How easy would it be to test AMP pages for that?

I keep meaning to make an example, but real work gets in the way. :)

Basic gist though is that AMP is, again, only a fuzzy approximation of good performance. You can still mess it up.

As for testing, the best thing to do is probably test from the origin server. That way you eliminate the Google cache layer and just focus on what the format itself actually accomplishes.

There was a post recently where a guy did exactly that, and the results were far from instant: https://ferdychristant.com/amp-the-missing-controversy-3b424...

The conclusion, for anyone who doesn't want to click through, is that the vast majority of the performance benefits don't come from AMP itself. They come from A) the Google cache layer and B) the fact that Google preloads the AMP page in the background before you click on it.
The keto diet's main difficulties are the prevalence and preponderance of available sugary foods, the near inability to eat socially, and the extreme difficulty in adopting the diet in the first 3 weeks for people regularly consuming 200g+ of carbohydrates a day.

The raw diet is mostly a trendy thing people write about. The bioavailability of nutrients in many raw foods is just too meh.

We know what the best diet is. A plant and fish based diet with small amounts of other meat. Meat that doesn't subsist on a diet primarily of corn or other, less edible things. This diet is completely unsustainable on a global scale and would result in even more ecological havoc.

The discussion between plants or plants + meat is complicated, but for now I'm going to ignore it because there's more important considerations:

- Companies are making our produce harder to digest as they try and make products with a longer shelf life.

- Eating industrially produced meat (of any sort) is very unhealthy and in many ways unsafe.

- This entire discussion removes dairy from the equation, which is a large part of the puzzle for most people.

- The low-carb vegan and the low-carb omnivore are far better off than anyone consuming 200g+ of carbohydrates a day.

- Hydroponically grown carrots taste gross.
Thank you. I will open source it under AGPL v3 as well
It's not just black and white. You will get less rude messages, but you will also get less normal messages. It means you will have smaller conversion ratio and earn less money.

So to answer your question, I would not want to avoid sexist message if it means less money for my business. It's extremely simple to ignore bad people on the Internet. It's hard to earn money.
One might imagine with better technology, something like noise-detecting spread-sprectrum or automatic link establishment, along with advanced DSP filtering would be able to dodge these sorts of noise generators.

But no. The noise is omnipresent, and there's no way to escape it. https://apps.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DA-16-676A1_Rc...

So the gendered assumption is the result of a gendered marketing practice which is based on gender differentiated responses to images (which are proven by stats)? But there's no sexism involved here?

Okay, I'm being glib, but this idea that thinking of a plausible causation with no further critical analysis means it's "not sexism" is kind of exasperating.
I wouldn't be surprised if choice of avaatar also affects the likelihood that people will contact you..

This would be an interesting thing for someone to study. Did anyone look for published studies?

Regardless, I'm sure simple things like wording of the text and picture affects how people precieve the product, and behave when replying. Obviously, such effects can also be exploited for the better - one should hope :)
>Autonomous trucks will handle flats and other roadside breakdowns the same way many human drivers do -- pull over and wait for the repair service to come.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but you clearly have no idea how the trucking industry works.
I thought about bridging an Ubiquit EdgeRouter and putting in front of the AT&T gateway. You must pass authentication back to the gateway. Users were also reporting around 100megs max speed which wasn’t acceptable for me since I pay for gigabit.

There is a new line of EdgeRouters out and maybe it has some acceleration for bridging. I would like this setup.
I am missing the point why this bookmarklet is needed. You right click the preview image that google gives and either 'Open Image in new tab' or 'Copy image address', or even 'Save Image'. Actually Googles change makes it easier to handle images, since you get directly the original in the preview view, instead of some cached version... what am I missing?

I don't think people are doing that so much as there's just not much to discuss there - sure, you can yell at people to parent better til the cows come home or talk about how our society is somehow collapsing because of this but no one will care. There's no proven fix, so not much to say on the matter.

Instead, people here are looking for realistic fixes - like making the chat box not automatically open so only those who need support will go out of their way to get it. I think the author would have been much less likely to receive abuse if people were actually there to ask her questions about her service than because they had just searched for a way to to generate a shitty meme. I could be wrong about that, but it'd be an interesting thing to do an A/B test with I think.

Perhaps it makes more sense to put it into security terms - In the same way that it doesn't make sense to don't go around talking about how we could live in a dream world where bots don't scan the internet for weak SSH credentials all day, it doesn't make sense for us to go around talking about a dream world where sexism simply doesn't exist. The author found a good compromise to defend herself against that threat - many people on HN are just suggesting other possible defenses.

The problem is when BigCo does AI research, they are not doing it for the greater good, they are trying to find a competitive edge. Unfortunately there are no good incentives (besides doing the "right" thing) for companies to open their datasets to the public, so until there is we can expect more of the same...
also they're transcoding to V8 and webm. so pretty much transcoding everything.
The shortest path to something like that (assuming it's a good idea) would probably not be writing an in-memory incremental compile state server, but storing intermediate artifacts as very cheap-to-serialize files (flatpak or just mmap and a cast), and then storing the files on /dev/shm or some other memory filesystem. That would give you most of the benefits you discussed (unless you clear out the cache/restart the machine) without requiring a huge rewrite of how state is stored.

Most of the assumptions I'm making here are unverified, though, so take it with a large grain of salt.

This seems pretty straight forward to resolve the, just have conferences say they will add half a point to the average review score for papers with code.

Most reviewers seem to agree that besides the top and bottom 10% of papers the primary differentiator is luck, so might as well add code to that mix.
The only trade secret these companies will hold is the software IP.

Lots of companies in other industries prosper in that situation, without locking everything down. RHT, for instance, has performed really well over the last year. These software subs could likewise go to a service model or literally anything other than "our software must be installed in crippled fashion". It's not as though e.g. Honda is going to decide to "pirate" their shit.
Been a ddg user since the early days, and it's amazing how obvious they make googles user hostile moves year after year. Amp, blackhat seo support because $, non boolean search, and now images.

Honestly, this is why I love the Internet. Because while a company gets more and more focused on profits and power the Internet will just come up with something better... until that thing becomes the thing it hates and the pattern repeats.

A perfect example of this is digg and reddit. Reddit has gone so far downhill the minute someone has a real replacement it's going the way of Slashdot.

Fuck Google, Fuck Facebook, Fuck Microsoft, Fuck oracle, Fuck reddit, and Fuck all the other services that pretend to be for the user while they abuse the user.

>Gundersen says the culture needs to change. "It's not about shaming," he says. "It's just about being honest."

I think that it should be about shaming. If you shame those that don't provide enough information to replicate you might create an incentive to publish properly.

Replication problems create so much noise for further research that I would classify a researcher who doesn't publish replicable results as hostile to the research community.

You seem to be inferring that I said that no non-western civilization ever used the horse?

I said no such thing.

I said that a great number of civilization and cultures, that lasted for many centuries, developed without ever using horses, and that therefore, the horse cannot be considered to define all of human civilization.
Didn't fit our business model for a number of reasons - market was not urban, huge e-commerce competitors drove prices up too much, profit margin was paper thin, made worse after some new taxes and weakening currency. FB also doesn't target ethnicity, whereas our core product was recipes targeted towards a cultural group.

It was a good thing in the end though. We met someone who was spending huge money on marketing the same things as us, but were paying really high costs and had to really increase the prices to compensate. They acquired us, partly because of our really low, organic marketing costs.
I said, at best.
Or they are so desensitized that they assume others are too. It is outrageous that anyone faces abuse like this, and it should not be a norm, but at the same time it's one of those things that you quickly become rather immune to.

And I question whether anonymity is really the root of this behavior, or if it's just the bravado of crowds. The negativity and bile spouted on Facebook never fails to astound me, and people say things that would be exile-worthy in any normal conversation.
> The plural of anecdote is not data. We need real stats about this

There are mountains of real stats. Have you tried to look? All you have to do is google "sexism statistics". The first hit for me has a link to a real study about online interactions: http://www.pewinternet.org/2014/10/22/online-harassment/

> There are enough murders every day to cover the front page of hacker news with a story about each one. It doesn't mean murder is a rampant problem in our society.

What a strange statement. Since there are enough murders every day to cover the front page of HN, doesn't that prove it's a problem? If sexism covered the front page of HN every day, would that mean it's less of a problem than it is now?

Murder is a rampant problem in our society. There are entire countries with less than one tenth the murder rate of the U.S. Are you suggesting that because the problem is everywhere, it's not a problem?
What systems have you been using where reading involves a more than superficial understanding of the program? Normally, a reader doesn't even know how many arguments ought to be given to each function or syntactic form, nor does it know the difference between macro invocation and a function call. There is no need for the reader to know what the syntactic forms in the base or extended language are. The value of s-expressions (or any notation that explicitly encodes the tree shape) is that the reader can function without that knowledge.

There are far better solutions out there but Messenger is on every smartphone and most, even non technical people, know how to use it.

I find C syntax awkward, bloated, inconsistent, and gross compared to lisp syntax, but that’s an aesthetic preference.

Beyond the personal preferences of individuals (individuals who probably started with one kind of syntax or another) there are characteristics that have some objective utility.

I appreciate that a lot of people start with C-ish syntax, and a similarly large number of people prefer that syntax, but I’ve never heard anything that demonstrated an intrinsic benefit of C syntax.
I agree, I'd even go as far to say that not publishing non replicable results is better for research than publishing it. These papers are noise that is pointed to for marketing purposes. A higher signal-to-noise ratio will lead to faster research, because people don't have to sift through 10 papers to find one good one.
My personal experience with LA, currently working in Santa Monica, is that it’s a pretty laid back place with nowhere near the hustle or talent pool of SV or even Toronto’s tech community (where I’m from originally) so I’m curious how this will work out.
There are technical benefits and drawbacks to both approaches.

I think the main reasons people perfer one over the other are philosophical: basically, some people prefer managing the executors of concurrent code (goroutines/threads/whatever); others prefer managing the points of dispatch to executors.

You can do both in either paradigm, but those are what I see as the default modes of thinking. Neither is inherently better; it just depends on how you personally think about concurrency, and what concurrent tasks you need to model.

If by code you mean actual text (as opposed to macropy, which generates ASTs that get directly compiled), what does that open up? I've found code generation to be mostly annoying, unless it's just fixing up code written by humans. What's the point of generating a bunch of code, so that it can be re-parsed to be executed? Might as well skip the intermediate step.

To me it seems like having the computer physically press its own keys rather than just generating virtual events.
Horses were so incredibly useful to humans, it changed their entire evolutionary course. If I recall correctly, out of the thousands of species of horses, there is only one truly "wild" one left. Any other horses that are untamed and raised in nature are actually feral.

I love the animals. They're like big dogs that don't understand how truly massive they are.

This is a phonecall. Where is reproduction involved ?

I am a female myself and I think this is the kind of deep paternalizing tone that is plain wrong. Being amused and not threatened by something has nothing to do with gender but with personality. Why would a woman be more scared by a phone call than a man? All the suggestions I have here are plain hallucinatory (speaking about physical violence and reproduction over a phonecall ?!) and this issue has imo really nothing to do with gender.
I was surprised either. What I find odd:

"protected" stuff can be accessed by classes in the same package, even if they not inherit the class with the "protected" member. I find this very annoying as I use protected and package-private for entirely different semantics.

No scope qualifier means package-private for classes and public for interfaces. I never could wrap my head around this. That's bad user interface design. As well, I have package-private interfaces sometimes (which is perfectly possible), but their methods can only be public (which is unwanted if the interface is package-private).
