I think there's an element of them forcing an entirely new Google standard (then favouring it in their results) on to something they could just as easily punish (slow sites) directly.

Slow sites can be sped up quite often with small optimisations and improvements and those improvements can be guided by Google tools but instead they're forcing their own new format in the name of speed.

Previous stylisation was slow because it needed to SGD optimisation for each image to be stylised. This uses a NN trained once. When you've trained a NN it is precisely a closed form solution, in the style y = max(0, 3x + 4). However they are normally a little longer to wrote down :P

Who's involved at the other side of the issue?

I hope the EFF gets involved if it isn't already. Particularly, it'd be rude not to, as they're getting quite a lot of donations through Humble Bundle.
I have never be able to make [close] friends, especially same-sex friends. It bothered me when I was younger, but not much anymore (I'm 35 now). I get enough social interaction at work, my spouse is very close friend of mine, and kids and hobbies keep me busy.

Only on occasions like wedding, name giving parties etc. having no friends bothers me little but I've three siblings.

It's interesting that the recommendation to make friends in hobbies haven't worked for me neither. I guess there's something in my personality which makes it hard, regardless of the situation. It's relatively easy for me to get along with people, but really difficult to convert the relationship from acquaintance to true friendship.
I do recall playing it on a CGA equipped machine later, but I distinctly remember my first experience of it being on the original green screen monochrome, and I was blown away. Wish I could remember if that machine had a Hercules graphics card in it, but I seem to remember someone saying that it didn't, and that the game was revolutionary because it went down to the display BIOS to manipulate the individual green pixels.
It's the same. If you turn on 'showdead' you see all comments by banned users as well as comments killed by software, user flags, or (more rarely) moderators.

There's such a thing as deleting a comment, in which case it's no longer visible even with showdead turned on. But only the author can do that. Software never does it, and we never do it unless the author asks us to.
There is another solution which is being implemented in my country: average speed traps. Instead of the measuring your momentary speed it measures the time you take to go over some particular distance and then calculates your average speed. If it is over the limit, you are in trouble.

Just out of curiosity, how many new people would you say you talk to on a regular day, and how many of them become friends?

I'm probably just picky, because I can't imagine making a single friend over a year using that scattershot approach.
None of the dependencies seemed to be Linux-specific at a quick glance. You might be able to install all that on Windows (not sure how pleasant experince it'll be).

Virtualbox won't help you, because you can't give proper access to the GPU for the VM guest unless you set up PCI-e passthrough and dedicate your whole GPU to the VM guest (and use your integrated graphics for the host). Not sure if this is even possible if Windows is the host.

If you don't feel like setting up a Linux install on your box, you could try some of the GPU cloud services.
Fun to watch whataboutism move from politics into computing.

Personally I'm about as hostile to Apple News as I am to AMP for a lot of the same reasons. And I also don't love Apple's embrace & extend approach to SMS.

I guess there was a time when I was concerned about iTunes and DRM and the network effects of an Apple music ecosystem, but I mostly stopped buying stuff through iTMS that I could get elsewhere about a decade ago and then largely ditched iTunes somewhere around 5 years ago after Apple had spent so much time "revolutionizing" the UI that it became a shambling horror of a guessing game rather than an experience, and AFAICT these days there's plenty of ways to use Apple devices for listening to music without using any of their specific apps/services.

So, yeah, I'd guess there's probably a concerned audience that isn't exactly picking on Google while giving Apple a pass.
Consider yourself lucky. I'm guessing it's because of location. A quick search for "Google Amp" had this result near the top (an Amp version of a tech crunch article). If you open it on a computer it just redirects to techcrunch.com, but on a phone it should stay on the google domain and have a little top bar added (unless it redirects you past due to region?).

Am I the only one who thinks the way we deal with certificates is just completely backwards? Why should there even be a CA at all for DV certs? We already have to trust the registrar as ultimately they can get whatever DV certs they want so why not just limit our trust to them instead of adding hundreds of additional organizations that can compromise our security? And we pay them for the privilege of doing this??

I get CAs for EV and OV certs, of course you need an additional trusted party there, but the vast majority of websites out there do not use EV or OV certs and to be fair users by and large don't even notice the difference between a DV and an EV certificate in the first place.

We already have DNS, we already trust DNS to issue certificates to people, why don't we just cut out the middle man since they serve no additional purpose?
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this refers to the fact that it can be expressed in terms of certain simple mathematical operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, powers, roots etc.—and as a consequence, the execution is very efficient. My understanding is that 'closed form' solution is essentially something that resembles a polynomial (again, accepting corrections!).

I've been looking for a way to articulate this problem in A/B testing, thanks.
Don't read too much into the struggle thing.

I made tons of friends in my 20s and early 30s. Many of them moved away to other cities with time, so I have fewer friends now, but that's also partly due to being in a long term relationship, so I have less time, and I'm still friends with some of the people I became friends with in my 20s, and between work, relationship, life and those other friends there isn't much time left for anything else. That's without kids in the mix!

However none of the friends I made in my 20s were friends borne of a shared struggle. Most of them were people I met through going to social events specifically organised for people to meet each other. The city I moved to had a lot of transient worker types moving through them so there were lots of events organised by and for expats (perhaps I should call us migrants, as that's what we were). People would turn up to a bar and know nothing about anyone except that we all wanted to make friends, and maybe even hook up. Everyone arrived alone and was trying to make new friends all the time, so if you got a few friends that way, they'd also have a few friends, and everyone would start going to similar events so you'd see each other a lot, and that branched out into events organised just in our groups - mostly very simple events like "let's all meet in the park and drink and barbecue today". It was all quite straightforward and struggle-free. As people came and went I found myself going round that loop several times in my 20s, developing new groups of friends as old ones slowly dissipated.

The only slightly tough part of it was learning how to be sociable with total strangers. Most people are a bit shy and it's not really natural to make fun conversation with someone you just met and know nothing about, but it's like anything, it comes with practice.

I wouldn't describe most work as a struggle. There has to be some higher purpose than just getting through the day. Startup life can achieve that in some way, if you're a very early employee or founder as that way the hard decisions and unexpected events are shared in your group. I'm like that right now - not a founder but a senior executive at a startup firm, and I'm lucky enough to be (by coincidence) working with someone who was in the same class as me at university, someone who I had stayed friends with throughout our 20s. And yeah, building a company is tough work, it's definitely a struggle that I feel enhances our friendship, certainly we see a lot more of each other these days!

> I would have something to say if you came with actual data.

the actual data is that protein consumption on keto is 1g per kilogram of bodyweight.

the question is why do you think that is "overeating protein", and if you don't - you're obviously thinking of a different number and the question becomes what it is and where did you get that number?

> expert opinions that keto and Paleo are objectively bad

expert opinion is by definition not objective, it's an opinion. you haven't even provided any evidence that keto is "bad". from everything you've said the only conclusion i can make is that you have no idea what keto is at all.
It's actually the exact opposite. You have more of a "my neighbors should pay for it" view. That's why you object to paying taxes so much. You want all the benefits of living in an advanced society, but you want someone else to pay for it.

This is simply observed by noting that most people, in both countries, actually work and pay taxes. Therefore, in Europe, most people are paying for both their own services and for those of people who can't afford it. That's an attitude of "I'll pay for my neighbor" not "my neighbor should pay".

> But if you disconnected from all of this stuff and achieved a zen-like state of nirvana, then "Likes" or proliferation of tech stacks that other people like to create and use shouldn't bother you.

I didn't achieve zen. My life is better, but all the other shit still bothers the hell out of me.

Complaining has a long and successful history. Our entire democratic process is based on complaining. Complaining and throwing tea in a harbor. Just because I threw my tea in the harbor doesn't mean the tea isn't still getting taxed, or that my responsibility to speak out goes away. Granted, my form of whining and moaning was more "kids on my lawn" than "taxation without representation", but hopefully people can see the point is that this is all unnecessarily burdensome.
I wonder how much of this is a result of female sexual selection pressure?

It is seen in human beings and animals that statistically females mate sidewards or upwards in terms of providability. This in turn applies a pressure on males to compete for more and accumulate more resources, whereas females are not measured by males on their providability hence have no pressure on them to fight for the same resources. So, men will always compete more to get a greater share of the pie, this combined with capitalism explains whatever income gap remains after attaining equality of opportunity.
Shouldn't the underlying metrics of mating preferences also be taken into account before putting it all under male sexism and patriarch umbrella ?
I’m not saying that obesity does not come from eating too much and/or eating the wrong type of food. I’m talking about the mechanisms that drive this behavior, and what it takes to beat them. Willpower is not enough to beat actual, chronic/morbid obesity. The only known solution is surgery.

Your comments are bordering on fat-shaming, which I find completely unacceptable.
This is the idea behind DANE :)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS-based_Authentication_of_Na...

Effectively, you’d serve a self-signed certificate, then use DNSSEC to state that the origin can use the self-signed cert. Then clients can use that without showing warnings.

However, it does rely on DNSSEC not being a total failure, so not likely to end up in widespread use anytime soon unfortunately.

Also, given the more recent growth of alternative solutions to the problems DANE solves, like Let’s Encrypt and CAA DNS records, I’m not sure we’re likely to see much more work being done on it sadly.

Nowadays I'm running Debian and my $SHELL is /bin/bash, but when I was on FreeBSD I really learnt tools like make(1), sh(1); the man pages were pieces of art. Having read sh(1), I do have a nice grasp of how shell works in general, to which knowledge I can add anytime the higher-level goodies bash has to offer (though I generally prefer keeping it POSIX, and using an actual programming language when it doesn't cut it).
Grass is always greener on the other side.

Having lived and grown up in ultra-dense urban cities like Hongkong, Singapore and Tokyo, I very much prefer somewhere with a little more breathing space. Though not to the extent of American suburbs. The European cities are probably a good balance.

How can Facebook benefit from the use of a blockchain?

Data Science: How to adapt and stay in demand [Audio]
The tragedy of it is that web browsers have never been faster - it's just that websites insist on bloating, and bloating, and bloating. It's not unusual for modern websites to have literally megabytes of pointless JavaScript. (Reminder: Super Mario 64 weighs in at 8MB. The whole game.)

AMP strikes me as a clever technical solution to a problem that doesn't need a technical solution. It just needs restraint and better web development with existing standard technologies, and ideally a strong taboo on bloated web-sites.

See also two other technologies, the existences of which damn the web: Opera Mini (cloud rendering! and it's useful!), which can only exist for as long as the web is laughably inefficient, and Reader Mode, which improves modern web-design by removing it entirely.

I could assume you have bigger problems to solve than writing a stronger reply, but it's hard to spot that out to somebody who bothered to write an answer in the first place.

What I learned during the European Testing Conference 2018 in Amsterdam
Of course they did, because cryptos are a dire threat to their hegemony. Visa introduced changes to charge more for purchasing cryptos with their cards. Some banks block cards that are used for purchasing cryptos. Sometimes even your credit scored is lowered just for purchasing them.

The banking cartels have a vested interest in discouraging the public from taking any interest in cryptocurrencies at all, and they're only getting started. They will bring out the big guns soon, an you'll seeplain as day that the only thing they're interested in is they're bottom line, which is dependent on them controlling all your finances and taking a cut of every transaction you make.

Cryptos are a way to circumvent their control, and it's like cutting off their oxygen supply, if they become too popular the big banks and credit card companies will wither and die.
Once such a high level of trust is built up, not talking doesn't usually lower one's trust in a friendship.

I'm not surprised at all... because the same thing happened with Ingress - the previous game from people behind Pokémon Go!

I was only part of the local community of players (green team in my city) briefly, but it was enough to learn that people in it talk to each other all the time (via Hangouts at that time), they see each other every evening, play together and then hang out together. That's one of the strongest friendship-making activities I've ever seen.

This isn't true, or at least I'm not aware of places where it is; this would make it very hard to do "public information" advertising.
