It really, really isn't. For one, your own JavaScript isn't allowed (though they just announced that they're working on that), for two, AMP is a not a subset of HTML, as it adds tons of Custom Elements in addition to the whitelist of standard HTML tags, and lastly, they're at least out on a small limb if it goes away, as you're not allowed to self-host the AMP framework and still be valid AMP.

There are many redeeming qualities to AMP, including its significant technical merit, but the subset claim is neither accurate nor the strongest argument.
Having had lengthy conversations with Sam Boyer on this topic, I know that at least he deeply knows how these systems work. So it hasn't felt like "ignored" to me, at least, as an outside observer.

Your company, like virtually every supplement company, is a scam that plays on the fears and ignorance of its customers.

RethinkDB is used for two reasons:

1. It's the only database that provides changefeeds that I need to implement real-time updates for users. Complete changefeeds, as in: get an initial state and then updates.

2. I wanted to easily solve replication, fault-tolerance and scalability, RethinkDB gets all of them right, at least for the levels of scalability that I require.

> idea of a blockchain as a way for non-trusting parties to quickly and easily agree on truth

Truth of what exactly? It would seem like many useful applications require off-chain oracles which completely subvert the point of the block chain. The only truths I can think of that two non-trusting parties could agree upon is are outputs of deterministic algorithms (i.e. math/logic/hard truth), which has to be utterly useless to the real world, except maybe to harness idle computational to compute prime numbers, PDEs, etc. (i.e. still pretty useless). I'm clearly missing something if all of the hype is warranted and would appreciate if you could point me to any resources/examples that cover this.

As cycling becomes more popular, the larger cycling constituency will be able to demand more road space— but congestion will much less of a problem, because it simply requires less space to move a large number of people on bicycles (or in trains or on busses).

NYC definitely has 'bicycle traffic' these days, especially around choke points like the bridges. But it essentially never has traffic jams, except during the 5 Boro Bike Tour.

No, that doesn't work. People make mistakes, and you end up not being able to build software. It might work _most_ of the time, but when things break, it's of course always at the worst possible time.

I think Cargo got it right: use semver, but also have lock files, so you can build with _exactly_ the same dependencies later.

The reason to use AMP is SEO. If you want literally any benefit other than SEO, just improve the performance on your own mobile site. Then you won't have to jump through weird hoops and come up with entirely new "magic carpet" user flows, because you'll actually control your own content on your own site.

The talk attached to this Medium piece was given at "TechSEO Boost", but the article itself dances around ever using the term. So we're left to wonder why AirBnb is very worried about being able to link users to their native app, while they apparently don't care at all about whether users are using their web site. It's because of SEO.

I think you are missing the point of my comment; the burden of proof is on the entity claiming election meddling, and this indicated that core parts of the evidence need closer scrutiny and that the case is not as straightforward as NYT etal has claimed.

Absolutely.

Don't forget that these customers may just file a chargeback through their bank. I did this with a service called Classpass which misleadingly kept you signed up without any notice. I and my partner both filed chargebacks and overturned 6 months of subscriptions.

That sort of thing can really harm a SaaS on a number of fronts and so IMHO they should ask the customer after one billing cycle and no activity.
I'm not the original poster, and I'm about to write something gross, but I commute for long times too and I find the sweat less of an issue than I originally expected (I do live in a climate that is not overly hot and humid, though). I avoid using a backpack (in favor using panniers) so that my back isn't all sweaty, and for the rest I find that the sweat dries up quickly and doesn't leave a trace. In the worst case I take a spare t-shirt and a deodorant stick.

This drive uses a 12Gb/s SAS interface rather than a ~32Gb/s PCIe x4 interface. SAS drives are still preferred in many segments of the enterprise storage market, especially where capacity is a higher priority than performance.

> 40GB of DDR is pretty interesting. Add there a battery or suitable capacitor and you could use that as a reliable write cache.

Supercapacitors are standard issue in enterprise SSDs like this. Most of the DRAM is used to cache the mappings between logical block addresses and physical NAND flash pages and blocks. With 40GB of DRAM but only 32TB nominal raw capacity of NAND flash on the drive, there's quite a bit of leftover DRAM for write caching. (The normal ratio is 1GB of DRAM per 1TB of NAND.)
All you need is a website with a vulnerable password form and the ability to serve malicious CSS, say, via an ad. Seems pretty dangerous to me.
Cryptocurrencies ‘could drop to near-zero at any time,’ Ethereum founder warns
This looks very interesting in terms of addressing machine learning as application, which is to say that ordinary software has both the property "does it's job" and "can be looked-at, tested and so-forth to see how it does it's job" with machine learning systems as nominally defined having only the first property.

We all know people who go to great lengths, despite all contrary evidence, to prove themselves correct. Like the convict who was exonerated by DNA evidence, yet the prosecutor still insists he was guilty. Like the pastor who insists that his flock close their ears to any contrary viewpoints. Like the authoritarian societies who jail anyone daring to question them. Etc.

Just think of the beliefs you hold dear. What would you do if someone produced evidence that you were wrong? You'd be a very rare person to accept it and change your mind. Remember the physicists (including Einstein) who could not accept quantum mechanics?

NYC tech employers generally allow bringing your bike into the office.

The city requires buildings to allow bicycles in if tenants want it:

I'd bet that you could walk for 90 mins even at a fast pace without getting all sweaty? If so then you can cycle for 90 mins without getting sweaty :)

Seriously though, I have 2 main modes of commute cycling:
1 as fast as I can manage, which I only do when I know I can shower at either end
2 at a pretty decent pace but one where I know that I'll stay cool and dry enough to not be a sweaty mess. Depending on the temp and how far I might slow right down for the last few minutes just to cool off.

The right clothes also help - even going pretty fast in lycra you'll stay cool enough. Cycling in full work clothes is doable but not fun for miles and miles.

Main thing for me was not carrying a bag on my back, as that makes me sweaty no matter the speed. I have a small bag for clothes on the front of my road bike (super cheap off ebay) and a rack on the back for bits. I try not to commute with a laptop - I've not needed to really so far.
Good point, and I’ll freely admit that I try not to think about that too much.

Stretching 4 hours might be easier than you think. In my experience I do only about 4-6 hours of focused work per day anyway, during my 7.5 hour work day.

Other than that, learn to live well below your means. Look into the FIRE community (Financial Independence Retire Early) to get an idea of how to reduce your expenses. Many people live beyond their means. A good first step is ridding yourself of a car, TV subscription, and cell phone (if extreme like me).
I think Haskell is full of good ideas waiting to be reused in a successor language, with a focus on software engineering as well as just purity (Multiple senses of the term!) and rigour in abstraction.

The ideas are sound - When I write pseudo"Haskell" in other languages (Especially those with enforced purity), the rewards are fairly good for relatively little extra work - but Haskell (The language) is, even putting nicely, rough around the edges.

Actually not wearing a helmet is very clever advice. In the Netherlands almost nobody wears a helmet and yet it is one of the safest places to cycle. In fact we all tend to overcompensate safety with more risky behaviour. A car is basically a 1.5t full body steel armor. And then we go and drive at speeds far beyond of what this armor can protect us from. If you'd remove the body work and make it a buggy, people would drive a lot slower.

Personal anecdote: I bought a helmet a few years ago. While it was still in delivery I came into a situation where I was not sure what a car was doing and I caught myself thinking: "with a helmet I'd not braked" - but rather taken the risk.

Thus I have never worn it and it is sitting there collecting dust.

Another abstract example: no country is more obsessed with "low carb" and "low fat" than the US. Yet no other country produces more plus sized people than the US.

Yet another example is Michael Schumacher. Without the helmet he may not have taken the risk to go into unknown terrain.

I feel vulnerable without a helmet and that keeps me alive.

People involved in web development, SEO and marketing. It doesn't need to be in the thousands but checking large number of pages for problems has obvious productivity benefits over checking one page at a time. It also lets you identify issues that impact multiple pages like duplicate titles, descriptions and content that you'd normally miss.
Well, I'd prefer annotated recommendations with reasons, and analysis of quality as a big feeder into the recommendations (so, both opposing and supporting--and even supporting in part and opposing in part--viewpoints, especially with stronger support, would be natural recommendations, with their relationships to the thing you just viewed annotated.) OTOH, that's probably a lot harder to do (especially automatically; intuitively, it seems likely to be essentially an AI-complete problem, though I wouldn't be too surprised if someone found a way to do a "good enough" version for common classes of content without a full AI) than what typical recommendation engines do; the annotated related items thing is found some places, but they are IME always manually-curated, narrow-focus databases (e.g., commercial legal authority databases.)
Actually, my examples are probably bad, I was thinking about them in the early days, but those are low touch businesses now.

Ease off on your pace for the last 10-15 min so your body has a chance to cool off. If you are showering regularly you remove the bacteria that cause the stank, so sweating by itself won't cause most people to be excessively funky.
