Product is all that matters. And I'm not talking about the app. If they spend that cash generating quality video content, it is proven people will talk about it and will pay a subscription. So I think this investment speaks to the confidence that this guy can execute on this vision and that the market is receptive to this format, which it will be if done right. Also, if modestly successful there are plenty of Big's who would acquire. Knowing nothing of the players and how they execute, this actually passes the sniff test more than most and I'd say it sounds like it could be a winner.

It's not the boredom that's always a reason for procrastination.

For me, it sometimes is. If I can sketch a convincing implementation in my head and it's not something I have strong personal desire to see in the real world, the implementation suddenly becomes one big chore. I have enough experience in programming to be confident I can code up anything I plan with enough details in my head, and find little reward in just proving myself right.

But the other thing is, I procrastinate on things I have to do, just because I have to do them. I.e. take anything, attach any form of obligation to it, and you've just turned up my procrastination up to 11. I don't know why that happens, but I've been like this for as long as I can remember, and my entire career in this industry is mostly about figuring out tricks around this problem.
So in your culture one is supposed to be grateful for free things unquestioningly? Why does culture need to be brought into this? If, one day, churches started handing out rat poison to the hungry instead of food; are the hungry entitled to happily eat that rat poison because it is free?

The problem is that Firefox makes these promises and builds a platform (in this case, old-school XUL-powered extensions), builds a profitable user-base from said platform, and then yanks features at a whim. It is almost like a classic bait-and-switch but played in slow motion. In the case of Firefox there simply aren't suitable replacements available for many add-ons because the APIs and underlying features they relied on are being pulled. And they are being pulled because of managerial decisions, made to metrics that only highlight majority use-cases, in the name of "saving programmer bandwidth". As a result, a popular, powerful, useful program more and becomes more like a disposable appliance and less like an extension of the mind.

"Who cares about nice ideals like mind extensions blah blah blah" you think? Well, a lot of users do (especially us old nerds), many of us who have stuck by Mozilla and will willingly dance to their beat in exchange for the company's historical sense of economy in its asks and respect for its userbase.

If Mozilla were making Firefox out of the kindness of their hearts, maybe you would have an argument. But Mozilla is a million-dollar business and much of what has become of their flagship browser lately is a result of business decisions to bring in more money, so I have a hard time understanding how legitimate user complaints could be considered "entitled".

So here is the thing...the interior of the Tesla is not that of a car costing 100K. I expect the others you named will be. I drove a Tesla and it was cool, but I could not get past the cost vs. my previous MB or Porsche. I am hoping Porsche does an electric in the style of the Boxster, if so that is my next car. My wife is looking at the Audi or Jaguar electric to replace her Macan as the next car. I will say the current 2 cars will be the last gas powered I own.

Nobody really deserves to suffer or die. In some situations it may be that inflicting suffering or death on someone is the best way to minimize it for others, but people are rarely good at figuring out when this is the case.
Pretty sure it was AOL, but it might've been Netscape...which was owned by AOL at the time, so still AOL. I'd heard of it from early (single-digit employee ID) Googlers, but am struggling to find a public source.

It was basically that very early in Google's history (late 1998 or first couple months of 1999), Google signed a deal to be their sole search provider in exchange for $Xm (this was right after their $25M funding round, and the total dollar amounts involved were more than they'd taken in funding up to that point). As part of the deal, they guaranteed AOL a certain minimum amount of revenue, basically saying "You will make $Ym >>> $Xm in additional revenue from people using our search engine, and if you don't we will pay you $Ym, so signing this deal is a no-brainer." At the time, $Ym was such that it would've bankrupted the company, so this was basically Larry taking a calculated risk that they could deliver on their promises.

There is a separate story related to this deal that was told to me in Noogler orientation, as an example of "focus on the user and all else will follow." They underestimated the traffic coming from AOL/Netscape, such that when they flipped the switch, all of their servers were instantly overwhelmed. Their response was to shut off their consumer-facing webpage and only handle AOL traffic. For a while, until they could get a handle on server capacity, visitors to google.com got a "connection refused" error and they basically functioned as a whitelabeled AOL search provider. And this was critical in building trust in Google within the industry. It seems ridiculous now, with both AOL and Netscape just memories, but Google at the time was a scrappy startup running on a shoestring.

It’s frustrating that this is the default reaction. I know why it occurs, at least from a human psychological standpoint, but it’s still frustrating. I’ve reported vulnerabilities without response, only to find them thanklessly fixed later. Without reply. But most of the time, my notifications are ignored. It becomes depressing very quickly.
Where the bottleneck exists is difficult to pinpoint, for sure. Especially just based on a vague description. I'm making some assumptions.

This * million. The only thing I can reliably trust google is that when I type a search query, results will be meaningful.

Regarding them keeping my data secure, not selling out to NSA, dropping support for things on a whim, kicking users out of their platform, I can’t really trust them.

Google or anyone else.

It’s just not their core business. They don’t really make much money from AMP. It feels like some VP’s pet project to get a big fat stock bonus.

These days, a basic programming course would likely involve TI calculators or office software automation. Those are the only common usages of basic.

Office suite automation is actually important for business, particularly involving spreadsheets.

I give the next priority to octave (Matlab), bash shell scripting, and possibly a statistics-oriented language like R or Julia.

Most schools seem to start with java, python, or javascript. I'm not loving these choices. The stuff mentioned above is probably more useful for people who won't become professional programmers. For those few who will, rust and plain old C make some sense, but there are unlikely to be enough suitable students to make this a reasonable thing to teach.
How is that supposed to be sustainable?
From a marketing perspective I was wondering how did you discover it one month back? Product hunt? or here itself ?
Whenever you send a packet in TCP, the recipient sends back an "ACK" packet confirming receipt. If some timeout interval passes, the packet will be sent again. This means that some packet loss will not interfere with a TCP connection.

This is used for congestion control: Imagine you have a computer with a 1gbps LAN hooked up to a 100mbps network. You can send packets at 1gpbs over the LAN, but 90% of them would be dropped at the speed change point. The TCP stack will notice it is losing packets, and will throttle itself accordingly.

TCP is actually more complicated than just this, but this is one of the more important parts.

I love this seemingly new tendency of re-building the most basic things with much better design choices than originally made in 90-s (or 70-s) — it's sometimes baffling how people are ok with using weird unintuitive tools all day every day, because it's always been this way and after spending a couple months on it everyone gets used to it.

I mean, I love how user friendly (meaning configuration and all) kitty is out of the box. That's how tools made by programmers for programmers should look like.

That said, kitty behaves a little weird when scrolling back and forth in vim — at least on my laptop with my vim colorscheme. It leaves out background of a line black until I jump on that specific line or simple refresh the screen. I wonder what might be the issue here.
Am I missing something? VM snapshots also save memory, any terminal will be intact after this?
I agree generally with what you're saying, but I think they once at least tried to not be "evil". I don't think they are trying very hard any more.

They were willing to give RSS/Atom a crippling blow at the launch of Google Plus.

I remember Usenet going downhill immediately after they started pulling it into Google Groups (an unusable discussion platform).

I suspect that it will be the end of the WWW if Google is successful with AMP and the removal of URLs. Something new will have to be created from the ashes, though it may be difficult if Google controls the hardware, software (browser, OS), and potentially the network.

Google is motivated by getting people to click on ads. That's why Google Chrome's URL auto-completion is so bad -- you're supposed to go to Google Search on the way to your destination and click on well-concealed ads. I'm guessing that somewhere in the plan to hide URLs is a scheme to get people to depend more on search (to click on ads) and less on going directly to the destination. With AMP, the search and the destination are both google.com.

The NYT knows better. They know that you can unmask someone by finding correlations in style. They most likely edited the content heavily to avoid this.

Besides, correlations with tweets probably wouldn’t mean much as tweets are not written the same way as regular text and not by the same person anyway.
> Re-frame procrastination as a natural desire for variety and curiosity in your life. If you give this natural curiosity regular outlets throughout your days and weeks, it won’t need to blow up into major procrastination.

That's a good point I haven't seen expressed in that way before, though I realize now I've been using this as one of anti-procrastination tricks. If I'm procrastinating because I really want to some particular other thing, doing that thing usually makes me quickly want to go back to the original task.

But I do also have a lot of open-ended curiosity that's a problem. During university times, I often joked I owe half of my knowledge of the world to binge-reading Wikipedia at nights in high-school. These days, I try to rein it in a bit, otherwise I could spend the whole day following different trails of knowledge, without ever feeling a desire to come back to the task at hand.

> By cultivating hobbies and interests that are at least indirectly supportive of your primary work, anytime you choose to procrastinate you’ll be engaging in productive procrastination.

Yeah, right :). I use that excuse a lot. But the truth is, I've been stuck at the last 40 pages of Polya's book for the past 2 weeks, not because I didn't have any opportunity to procrastinate, but because it's somehow much easier to open a HN article or comment on one (as I'm doing right now), than it is to read a few pages of a book, or do a tiniest contribution to any of 20 open side-projects I have...

Our (assuming US) federal legislators can barely pass a budget. At best they would simply rubber stamp the existing laws. More likely expiring laws would be used as political hostages.

Granted, that is pretty much the existing status quo. Not sure it would change the behavior in a positive direction.

He/she is a high-ranking republican starting the spin machine for the inevitable post-Trump era. If and when Trump gets the boot they can say "I, and such and such, were there the whole time saving the country from Trump's worst impulses. He's a Republican in name only, but we're the real deal. Trust us".

My betting money is on the VP, but it doesn't matter who wrote it. This narrative will be used to defend complicit Republicans in the event Trump goes down.
