>There is no reason to load any JavaScript on a page that only contains some text and images.

While I've not read through all of Amp's JS to know what it's for, I will say I've used JS to specifically speed up static pages before.

One example is the Filament Group's loadCSS script[0]. This allows for cross-platform asynchronous CSS loading.

Font loading is also another tricky subject. Linking non-blocking font assets while minimizing FOIT and FOUT is still not a solved problem. Smashing Magazine just had a 50 minute video presentation[1] on this problem. JS loaders are a common approach.

So I disagree with you that page speed is not the primary goal here, simply because I've run into these same kinds of problems myself and can relate. Google also has the advantage that their JS will almost always be cached by end-users.

Americans Are Terrible at Small Talk
When I was cycling in the US in 2014 on my recumbent tricycle (so I’m less than a metre off the ground, and feeling the surface of the road more), I estimated that I got to about 90km/h as I approached Mojave—and it was only that slow because I was using the brakes somewhat, otherwise I’m confident I would have hit 100km/h. (I do wish I had been doing GPX logging at the time so I’d have proof of how fast I was going. Ah well.)

It was fun. Sure, I was consciously aware that if my trike failed I’d be dead, p ≥ 0.95 (that’s why I was using the brakes at all), but it was nonetheless super fun. And very blowy indeed.

There’s just nothing like it in Australia; it’s all flat here by comparison, so you don’t get the chance to just relax and glide along at 60–100km/h for ten or fifteen kilometres (to say nothing of the next thirty kilometres where I was very easily able to maintain 50km/h except for when I got stopped for roadworks).

I've encountered this viewpoint before and it took me a while understand the nuance of the assertion - as it is so matter of fact it is easy to take "not a science" as a value judgement - especially as we often enshrine empirical thinking.

As with all things though, it comes down to definitions and with the more specific and academic understanding of science, it is easy to see how (pure) mathematics isn't a science. Indeed, a lot of computer science somewhat doesn't fit well as a science - like FP.

It's quite a controversial statement that can be construed as aggressive which is probably why you're getting downvotes but I think you're right to point out how confronting your own assumptions/axioms can bring out strange reactions.

There's no more to it than that. They can attack these people for personal gain. They, in this case, of course is the government. The people that make up the law, the government, the police.

If you think this is bad, wait until you see what child services or mental care departments do to people, which is a much worse example of how governments attacks the weak and hopeless. It doesn't matter which governments. It only matters that some people get power over others.

It doesn't seem like the publications stole it from the tweet.

Are your invoices a subscription payment, or are they for one-off services?

How do customers usually pay for them at the moment? Is it automatable (credit cards, etc) or is it highly manual (cheques, etc)

My recommendation would be to stop giving out free lunch if you don't want people having free lunch. Collect full payment before the service is provided.

As far as 1-year contracts go, just don't have them. Contracts are impossible to enforce. Instead, have a monthly price, and then a discounted yearly price if you pay for a year in advance with no refunds. Essentially the same as a contract but with no way for people to stop paying midway through.

I suspect this thought process is why numerate people get thrown by this puzzle.
The probability on the two you didn't open is 2/3. At that point you have no information as to which of those two doors holds the prize, so they each have probability of 1/3.

Then the host opens one. The probability of the door opened holding the prize goes to 0. But the probability on the set of two is still 2/3, and so the probability of the door that is both unchosen and unopened goes to 2/3.

Discussed last year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14471931
One of the hardest parts about all of this is the safety and stability of a home. Apartments usually require proof of income. Searching for rooms on Craigslist / roomster is dicey — and I have found many desirable listings are for females only. Being asthmatic, I had to ask about roommates smoking tobacco and weed indoors. Seems like everyone in CO smokes weed!

As Dostoevksy wrote "...I am incapable of living in the same room with anyone for two days together. I know from experience. As soon as anyone is near me, his personality disturbs me and restricts my freedom. In twenty-four hours I begin to hate the best of men..."

Another option you may consider is workaway. Volunteer some time, work for a few hours a day, in exchange for a room. You can read reviews / comments of the host so there is information to help make a decision. The ones I have seen require working 5 hours a day, that should leave enough time to do some tech work (project, finding a job, etc).

If things go well with the host, you can ask them for a recommendation. Even if its not tech, its demonstrates character and ethic.

Except of course for the aboriginal Taiwanese, who viewed Chiang Kai-Shek and company to be occupiers.

I would also suggest that saying the people of Taiwan consider themselves to be Chinese, ethnically and nationally, is true but not so helpful, given that the other China is similarly full of people who consider themselves to be Chinese, ethnically and nationally. What you said is true, but missing an awful lot of important distinction.

And sure you can find it weird, lots of people do, but the reply by DoctorOetker was trying to point out reasoning which, when properly internalised, can make it feel less weird. Some people - possibly you included - never lose the sense of weirdness. I have.

But in truth, sometimes we never really understand things, we just get used to them. For me, maybe this is one of them.
I found these comments on 1) Getting Started 2) Focusing on What You Really Want to Achieve 3) Avoiding What You Really Want to Achieve by Wasting Time / Not Getting Started as the most important and most challenging for me on this message thread.

Regarding the question... As a solopreneur, it is important that I create my own strong structure and discipline - I use a combination of methods to track my personal goals/habits.

First, it's the Coach.me App to track my daily habits/ritual - the core of all progress. I'll execute tasks that are routine for me, and its a reminder to focus on habits I am struggling with or striving to build. These change overtime depending on my goals (next piece).

Second, it's a series of planning documents that include a) mission, b) long-term goals/focus, c) short-term goals/focus and d) maxims/principles to live and work by. I keep all these in a folder in my desk below my pile of weekly business bills called: 'Focus / Structure'. I review it periodically on different levels of focus, and if I notice I am struggling with something, I'll keep a duplicate copy of the specific item that needs focus on my desk alongside my day-to-day work.
You are correct. (I am very familiar with LP as well)

Just assume that this will never happen. When they give you the money, you give them your shares.
> It's a flaw inherent to democratic Internet voting-based comment filtering, no?

Quite possibly so; increasing the vote difficulty may help here; but one thing to keep in mind is that the proof of work voting is not necessarily the only voting approach that could be supported. The proof of working voting I think works best at a large scale of users something notabug doesn't have yet.

It was something easy to implement that works decently enough for now; but with a decentralized network different peers can experiment with different voting and sorting strategies.

And why would that be? That's a very XIX century view of animal brains.

Does a cheetah run for recreational purposes just to enjoy the feeling? Probably not, because it's incredibily tiring and they struggle to eat enough as it is.

My best advice is to show up at tech meetups and ask if people are hiring. Portland has a very large and cohesive tech community, and there's plenty of work out there right now for devs. http://calagator.org

I'm not sure if they still do it, but there's a dry cleaning place in Portland that will clean your clothes for free for interviews, if that's an issue. I'm spacing out on the name, but I saw the sign downtown once while walking by.

Best of luck.

> but I hope you'll agree that even 4*rand(10k) is a pretty gracious assumption for password quality

I do. However, for it to be "worse" than plaintext you still need to be using it somewhere else, and (previously unmentioned) for the attacker to have a feasible way of attacking the other use. For instance if it's your desktop password, an attacker may have no way of leveraging that (not that I'm saying this overlap is a good thing security-wise). Whereas if they have your unencrypted ssh key then they 100% have your ssh key, no work required, no AWS instance, no cost.

I don't want to get too bogged down in this. I was using the old format, and I've now changed, so thank you!

You’re right that cars can never compete with mass transit in density and bandwidth, and mass transit already operates pretty close to the ideals that I proposed for motor vehicles. If anything it’s an example of why we should implement trains on tracks rather than self driving cars.

But your calculation would be off because there would not be any inefficiencies associated with human driving. Cars would have reduced safe distance, increased max speeds, and would not have to slow down for stops, intersections (assuming walkways are built over intersections for pedestrians), as all cars would be part of the same computer system, and essentially one harmonious unit.

Even if cars are low density and roads are narrow, the increased throughout would be massive.

Kind of. If you can sniff the memory access pattern of scrypt, its strength drops to being the same as bcrypt.
80-bit of entropy, generated from a 6-word diceware is sufficient for almost every application. The real issue in WPA is the lack of forward secrecy, without it, once the passphrase is known, all previously recorded traffic is revealed.
