How does one deactivate the amp preloading?
Should we restrict immigration to high-skilled laborers then? Do you discuss this openly with social justice warriors in SF and VC?

And I think instead of moving to Canada you should move back to India. Why not devote your skills to improving your own country if you’re so great?
The easements are a matter of public policy to ensure beach access. If he doesn't want to deal with that, he shouldn't have bought beach real estate in California.
For balance: in Ukraine, a population approximately five times larger than Austria - a grocery store worker would be considered lucky to make 4000 EUR per year.

Further - for tens (hundreds?) of millions of people in Europe, in countries such as Hungary, Serbia, Poland, Macedonia, Albania, Bulgaria, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Moldova, Russia, Belarus, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia - even parts of Greece and Italy - earning 21000 EUR per year is an unobtainable dream for working in a grocery store.
It could also be that Tata and infosys undercut us hires so it becomes attractive to companies to now outsource.

Looks interesting. Music theory and harmony would be good topics to approach with computers.

I think that there could be books on poetry (analyze meters, language, cross-references, symbolism, poet connections), literature, biology, math, psychology, sociology, economics, ecology, chemistry, etc. through programming.

Some of those exist, but there should be more.
Whats your title?
An article by Matt Green that discussed (questioned?) some of this was on the front page earlier: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16449326
Ok, my apologies. I've never heard that phrasing before, but now that you clarify, I understand it.

Ambiguity in online discourse is an ongoing problem. Thanks for helping resolve this occurrence without acrimony.
At first glance I think the title is saying NP = NP-hard
The best way to improve AMP is to drag it out behind the wood shed and shoot it. People just need to get better at making mobile web pages.
> Doesn't that make Danes better than Americans?

In my opinion, yes. That is my culture and I stand by it.

But my point is that Danes aren't inherently better. It isn't like Scandinavians are some kind of master race with genes of goodness and kind hearts.

It is about growing and maintaining a culture and system of warranted trust, and that isn't easy. But having said that, it is just work. Every nation can do it if they set their mind to it.
Or live wisely so you have the financial means and health to move you and your family elsewhere when need arrives, probably in our lifetimes for 80% of the world.
I could go out right now and fill up a pickup truck with people willing to do a hard days work for less than minimum wage by driving a couple miles to the Home Depot where they hang out all day hoping for work. If I spoke Spanish well enough I could probably get some fairly skilled workers too who will work for a lot less than "standard wage".
Quite, and we've never tried geoengineering on a global scale. We've had enough problems from localised changes from agriculture or introduced species.

To your second point I've always preferred climate change as a term over global warming as some areas will end up cooler, others more changeable. Especially if one of the major ocean current systems slows or stops.
Use a different search engine.
There's a lot of challenges, automation, globalization, immigration, poor schooling, poor family life, discrimination, clueless human resource departments, unjust stigma from encounters with criminal justice system.

All these things are issues, part of the reason many people can't work.

With all that in mind, some (largish?) percentage of people not working are simply unemployable. As in, they won't be able to do a job. Or they will make more trouble than they will put out so are net negative to have employed and thus don't stay employed. I don't know what can be done about this, probably feed them and call it good. Not sure everyone is owed a job, at least the way the system is set up now.
For better or for worse, everything in America is a business -- healthcare is no exception. Helpful to keep in mind when you think about potential improvements or solutions.
You are only allowed to buy 10k in I-bonds per year and you will forfeit part of the interests if you hold them for less than 5 years.
Sure, but these days it's where discoveries are made.

You know, in some sense experimental physics used to be "ahead" of theoretical physics. I accidentally put some current next to a compass and it moves. Why, no one knows.

I would say from 1905 onwards theoretical physics has been ahead of experimental physics. I have reasons to believe X, and a few years later experimentalists verify it. This difference is getting larger very fast. It took from 1933 when neutrinos were postulated by Fermi to being discovered in 1956. It took about 40 years from Higgs suspecting an extra particle was needed to it being found in experiments.
I could do that.

And, at the same time, my fellow techies in any given megacorp (I'm not in one now, used to be long ago) can start organizing and negotiating together, to establish better working conditions, better pay, more autonomy, more of a say in how the company is run.

This isn't an either/or situation.
Nothing in life is "free". Europeans pay way higher taxes than Americans.

"would spend it all on rent and cars"
Excuses. If you don't want to make it work that's fine. But there are tens of thousands of people making it work in the Bay Area.

#1 Don't have a car and live in SF, or buy a used cheap Honda or Toyota.

#2 Look at Rooms on craigslist, you can easily find a room or in-law room w/ own private bathroom IN San Francisco for under $1600/mo.

All this for a <30min commute to your tech company of choice in SF.

The media and everyone else likes to talk about how expensive it is to live in SF saying it costs $4k/mo for a 1bed room apartment...except these people are cherrypicking the most expensive and nicest places to live in SF. You can easily find cheaper on craigslist.
Ironically, your point would be made just as well had you skipped your first sentence.
Neurons mimicked by electronics
I'm not sure that many people do that.

A good comparison would be FOSS. Richard Stallman inconveniences himself to the point of absurdity, but I'm pretty sure barely anyone does anything close to it.

I changed my diet, I live in good housing, but when I put the numbers on paper, I'm not doing much at all, and could do much more.
Google can't "simply preload resources of non-AMP pages". Using a CDN means they can get more consistent load times and avoid the inevitable privacy concerns that come with loading 3rd party content the user may never actually click on.
I'm not saying you're wrong.

But I will say I think your wood shed idea won't work.

(Though I am very open to hearing more about it's implementation.)
AMP isn't truly "open" technology. You can't even discuss its problems on Github without getting the conversation shut down. AMP is an insidious threat the the open WWW itself. It doesn't solve problems that can't be solved in better ways.
Why is this a good thing? Wouldn’t the good thing to be able to get a work visa if you want to work?
Benefits still outweigh the disadvantages. The comparison is being a slave here or having a poor quality of life back home. Both are not desirable.
Airbnb in Australia: commercial listings 'surge' amid growing concerns
Where can I find a good explanation of what "AMP Email" and the controversy surrounding it are? I was hoping this article would detail it because I've seen buzz about it recently
Acres and acres of corn, soybean & wheat fields aren't natural landscape either.
Anecdotal: New Hampshire has experienced both record breaking high temperatures (> 70˚F) and record breaking low temperatures (< -10˚F) this winter. Either one might be just, eh, we're having a warm or cold winter. Both within two months is weird.

It snowed the day after it was 75˚F.
There's an article with a similar issue to this that just hit the front page, and it mentions the "paradox of tolerance" or "Popper's Paradox". Namely, if you are tolerant of intolerance, the intolerance will win out and the tolerance will disappear.
If you give excessive freedom to propagate tyranny, tyranny will take over, thereby destroying all freedom. For this reason, force is sometimes necessary to stop force. Or, to use the colloquialism, fight fire with fire. Fight firepower with firepower.
how do I get permanent residency in Switzerland? Can I come there as an unskilled migrant if my family is there or if I just want to because I’m a refugee?

Get real. The US has the most liberal immigration laws on the planet.
When I was ten years old I was meditating and thinking about how each one our consciences are a neuron in gods brain... I will never forget that epiphany as it was before I had studied any philos etc

Real terms means inflation adjusted. Nominal means just the rate ignoring inflation.
I make this mistake too, but we need to stop calling it an open standard unless it's handed over to a neutral standards-making body. AMP's solution to the URL problem involves another Google-pushed web standard, webpackage. But the big difference is that webpackage is part of the WICG, a community group under the W3C. That's a real standard, this is not.

If AMP not handed over to the W3C, I don't think we can or should call it a standard.
I'm not wondering about those people, though. I'm wondering about the people who correspond with them.
As I said in another comment, there are other groups working to help lower-paid service workers organize. They're better suited to that task than I'd ever be. (And I'm not even a part of any union, I just think we in the tech world are long overdue for organized negotiation.)

And, so, you do agree with me, but don't like some of my word choices? Can you maybe put that stuff aside and see that, organizing and negotiating together in our very individualistic field starts somewhere?
Being forced to load everything you read via Google is worse for privacy. There are already plenty of solutions for blocking 3rd party scripts, like Privacy Badger and umatrix.
Not making it super difficult for high skilled, shouldn't mean restricting immigration to them. Your first line seems like an useless argument. I am not sure how you arrived at it.

I want to prioritize being in the place, where I can be most effective as a human being and contribute back to the humanity.

As a side effect of this I contribute back to the places, I care about. I donated to a school in my hometown (which as my as I love I can't move back to because it has power cuts for 22 hours a day in 120F summers). Send decent amount of USD to India and advise startup in Indian ecosystem.

If at some point I feel that I can be most effective being in India, I would definitely go back!
You don't need a credit card to create a US Apple account, and you don't need a VPN either. I don't live in China, I live in Europe, but I have a US account because everything is better about Apple US accounts.

You can use it for free (you get 5GB of iCloud space, IIRC), but to be able to pay for services I buy US iTunes gift cards from ebay (mark-up about 1%). I can pay all Apple services with this, including iCloud storage and apps and music and movies.

It's a hassle, but it's totally worth it for me.
One could say... We... Need to... Make America Great Again? ;) Son of immigrants that made a similar move and have similar sentiments. Not all is lost though, still a huge free market and we have rights unparalleled
You could theoretically build something like this pretty easily... ISIS is already building their own drones; only makes sense they will at some point arm those drones.
President who married (and cheated on) a foreign national restricts immigration from foreign nationals. Hypocritical, anti-American, and cruel to hard working human beings.

Suck an American’s dick: get green card. Work your ass off 5 days a week contributing to the economy: get nothing - no visa temporary or permanent
Wasn't attempting to be offensive and I apologise if anyone found it so. Gave it no more significance than referring to myself as a Brit. Most of my bikes have been Japanese.
Sounds the Void in starcraft.
Right. There are opportunities in equities not available to small investors and there are opportunities in bonds not available to whale-sized investors.
I thought he asked about Copenhagen?
Should the US government cater only to multinational corporations? Even when doing so leads to a declining quality of life for its citizens?
Or that if you are going to bring big heavy things in by truck, closer is always better.
I don't know how true it is, but my understanding is that Federal workers often work fewer hours and enjoy better job security than their private counterparts. If so, wouldn't you expect these benefits to be offset by lower compensation? On an hourly basis it could net out to be similar and simply appeal to folks who want a different type of career or work life balance.
> It is not permissible to use “American values” or “Western principles” in treating intolerant Salafism. The West is currently in the process of committing suicide.

This is a far-right diatribe. To see it on HN, where most articles mentioning actual minority rights get flagged into oblivion as “too political” is embarrassing. Just look at the top-level comments: you’ve even got the gay-bashes using this chance to pile on a little, well, gay-bashing.

Nobody is closing their eyes to “salafism”. There is no such thing in the US, at least not as a relevant cultural force. The Muslim community is surrounded and infiltrated by three-letter agencies. Yet mentioning such things, or the President’s fascist dog-whistles gets downvoted to #CCCCCC. I happen to live in a country with about 10x as many Muslims as there are in the US, and I have no trouble finding pork or bacon or any other sort of haram food. And if my Heinz ketchup is kosher, which costs about 1/1,000,000 of a cent (see Wikipedia), I have trouble seeing the injustice.

If you think there’s a dictatorship of political correctness you should look up both “dictatorship” and ”political correctness” in a dictionary. Usually dictatorships come with power, so I’d like to return mine.
Favorite? Mine was King's Quest IV.
I think you just proved my original point[1]: As shipped, Cockpit will not function as intended on any OS that doesn't use systemd. If it requires patching and legwork the maintainers have not and do not yet plan to implement, it's up to the server maintainer to shoehorn it into their system. That would probably be more work than it's worth just to try out something that may still end up broken with each future update.

Again, no hate for systemd here, I was just pointing out what I had read in the documentation and making it known. FYI my laptop runs Elementary OS which fully depends on systemd and I have no issues with that situation, nor do I "hate" it. If I did I would run a different OS on it. systemd is part of Linux for the majority of distros, it's likely here to stay, and these days it's stable enough for daily use.

Am I reading the article right: the browser preloads resources from amp pages from the search page?

That's going to be hard to fix in an HTMLLite sorry of way.
Yes, I do agree with you wholeheartedly. Unfortunately, in my own environment, any attempt to organize among workers has fallen upon deaf ears.

The workers themselves seem to be resistant (or perhaps fearful) to organizing in a manner that would give them more rights and fairer compensation.
The issue with hospitals controlling healthcare is that they are the group with the least incentive to lower the cost of care

Hospitals account for the largest chunk of healthcare spend (30%). Hospitals make money by increasing inpatient admissions, particularly for profitable surgeries. The standardization of care in hospitals is intended to maximize profit under the constraints of various regulations around readmissions penalties, reimbursement limited length of stay, etc. If you look at the financials of public hospital companies like HCA and Community Health and Tenet, their major metrics are growth in admissions and surgeries. Even non profit hospitals are driven by this

The expansion of hospitals into owning tons of formerly independent specialist and generalist physicians is scary. Once in a hospital's system, these physicians act as loss leaders funneling patients into the hospitals profit center

Having hospitals in charge of the healthcare system is like having a fox in charge of the proverbial chicken coop
Oh Vox, this should be really great. I love reading smut from Clinton mouthpieces. Let me poor myself some wine.
I think you, and the other responses, missed it.

First, the company needs some sort of moat along with the ability to expand the moat. That is really hard to do in a software world when things can change so quickly.

There is a long list of other things, such as how complex the business is, the quality of the managers, the ability to reinvest capital, minimal need for additional capital expenditures, and so on.

As Berkshire has grown larger these requirements have shifted. What made the early success of Berkshire was taking the cash that the original textile company had, buying an insurance company, and then other companies that delivered great cash flow (See’s Candies, and newspapers to keep it simple.)

A lot of the moats that made those original businesses are less possible today, newspapers being the prime example.

I’ll just skip the rest and say what I think are great examples today:

Valve/Steam
Unity
Epic (unreal engine)
Google (the search/ads side)

Amazon, as long as it continues to be well run and doesn’t venture in to anti-trust territory

Apple, not quite, but their moats have gotten much stronger

Airbnb

Price paid for these is another matter.

If a company has terrible or negative cash flow and/or weak or non existent moats, then even a bargain price may be a terrible deal.
I find kanban helpful. It's incredibly useful to write down your objectives before, during, and after you work.
My interpretation: "well-reasoned beliefs that are acted on strongly but easily discarded when appropriate".

If a belief or idea isn't well-reasoned or doesn't have strong backing then it should be held weakly and also _not_ acted on (neither in the affirmative nor vice versa).
It's the old complaint about the schoolchild and arithmetic, "When am I actually going to use this?". Most people never need to do long-division by hand... even those who work in math-related professions use calculators.

Don't teach what people don't need to learn. There are better places for everyone to expend their time, energy, and money.
This is not really intolerance winning but a standardisation on the most strict.

it's what was missing from things like trans-pacific partnership and other multi-lateral regulatory agreements.

Where there are differences in regulation, pretty much the only sane means of harmonising is to choose the most strict, most onerous regulation, as that will (almost certainly) be a superset of the other regulations (if not you probably are discussing regulation of different things)

At the moment the EU/US seem to be stuck on chlorination of chicken - but one approach to bactericide will be more effective and win out in time.

C#s compiler is absolutely incremental. In fact, there is all kinds of crazy edit time compilation and JITing going on to support the languages extensibility and the edit and continue features.
I just had to think a bit in the opposite direction, with respect to email. Archiving some correspondence from other contexts into it. There's a very handy tool for the archiving I'm interested in.

But... under U.S. law, online email storage over X... (I forget the exact count, something over 100 days) days old, is open to examination without a warrant.

Not that I've anything particular to hide. But moving my personal correspondence in that direction?

I may spin up a an email server under my own sub-net, just to make use of this tool and capture its output. But I'm strongly disinclined to put it on a publicly facing email server.
I closed my G Suite account today because of Google’s announcement of AMP for Email. Luckily I didn’t have a huge Google presence in the first place beyond email which is easily IMAPed over to another server. Takeout allowed me to extract the rest: my docs as ODF, YouTube subs as RSS and contacts as ICS.

If anyone’s interested I wrote up my investigation into potential replacement mail services: http://www.robinwhittleton.com/2018/02/18/dropping-g-suite/ . In the end I went with Runbox, will see how they perform but I’m happy so far.
Google already has your IP; it's their page. Preloading resources from it's own CDN doesn't tell them anything they don't already know. Preloading resources from someone else's domain would.
Ok so Canada makes it easy for high-skilled while US makes it easy for low skilled. What’s the problem? Should we deport and restrict immigration unless you’re high skilled?

The point is that the US is very forgiving and easy going with respect to immigration and everybody acts like we’re a bunch of Nazis. Newsflash, we have the most liberal immigration policy in the world. Try getting permanent residency in Japan, or Switzerland, or China and let me know how that goes. It’s only difficult because we have too many people that want to move here.

And while I trust that you think you’re “giving back” to India, it’s easy to say you are while enjoying a nice cushy life in Canada.

I don’t mean this to be personal but I’m really sick and tired of hearing people complain that the US is shitty wrt to immigration when we are not. Does any other country have Dreamers? Will Canada allow 11 million undocumented kids to become permanent citizens? Hell no. Would India? Japan? China? Korea? Germany? Brasil? Nope nope nope - you would be deported in a heartbeat. Why does Canada even make you fill out paperwork or have a point-based system if they are so liberal?

TLDR They use a neural net to process an image to find a similar known 3D model to the object in the image as well as parameters for how to deform that model to be like the object in the image, and also then perform a linear combination of some related meshes (this is a follow up to their prior work "Compact Model Representation for 3D Reconstruction"). Pretty exciting work, but still far from being able to robustly do Image2Mesh. I happen to have worked on something quite similar, if any of you are curious: https://deformnet-site.github.io/DeformNet-website/
