That this can't be done server side speaks volumes about their real goals. From your first link:

> The AMP Project's goals are to do what's best for the user by helping to deliver fast web pages.

Clearly what they mean is best for revenue THEN users. This deception makes it clear they will not compromise on revenue (such as requiring server-side ads as img elements). Inability to compromise is quite the opposite of being sympathetic towards critiques and putting forth effort to address complaints.

Let's meet in the middle for the user's sake...have your ads, lose your client-side JS. But no, and then they wonder why it gets backlash.
This actually looks like the start of the disentanglement between the US economy and the Chinese economy. What will likely happens next (my best guess) is

1.) 40-60 percent of a company’s supply chain moves out of China

2.) China restricting the movement of capital/equipments out of China (similar to what happened with Korean companies last year)

3.) China growing homebrew competitors to the foreign companies leaving, part of the ‘made in 2025 in China’ strategy, via state enterprises or state spendings in startups. China will also make US companies’ operation in China very hard, either with license restrictions, or increased local ownership.

4.) China will disincentivize Chinese consumers from purchasing US (or foreign) products, via propaganda, taxes, or control (similar to what happened with Japanese and Korean products last few years). This would be hard, as Chinese consumers prefer higher quality, higher brand value, and higher perceived value foreign products.

5.) China will have to target US farmers with tariffs, as there isn’t much US imports to tax otherwise. Plus, there is also face saving.

6.) US will increase the tariff coverage to all Chinese imports, either triggered by tariffs on US farmers, or threats to US companies.

7.) China local governments will try to seize US owned corporate assets, or prevent factories from shutting down by its owners. This will escalate the urgency for US companies to move out of China.

8.) 70-100% of company’s supply line will be out of China

9.) Eventually, most direct trades between both countries shrink down to less than $50B. Down to a significant level where it starts to effect GDP for both countries (China way more than US)

10.) China will have no choice but to embrace its lost decade, ala Japan. It will tighten controls on its citizens. It will try to contain high inflation and high unemployment rate. It will try to unwind its debt for the next 10-20 years. Its gdp growth will go towards 0 or negative. Its GDP will shrink 20-30%.

For me, it's a case of the free alternatives catching up. Apple's Notes isn't as good as Evernote, but it's completely sufficient for many use cases. While Evernote is definitely better, it's not $7.99 per month better for most people.
Could you please comment on the 8chan activity that's mentioned in the article? Would you say that there is any bias there?
This is an excellent point.

Along that same line of thinking, I think another historical American value/attitude is that a business is a person. More precisely, businesses only exist because individual people decide to take risks with their lives in the pursuit of whatever values they hold. Since they hold the risk privately, they get to hold the rewards privately.

That many people who take such risks value financial profit may be a concern to some, but is a non-concern to society as long as the marketplace is free of coercion.
Show HN: Bitmia
Hello Hacker News,

I'd like to share an investing/personal finance social news site I've pushed live a couple of days ago. It's based on the lobste.rs codebase, slightly repurposed to be more focused on discussion rather than link aggregation.

I assume there’s a significant userbase overlap with HN since most of you who work in computing are well-positioned to retire early. There’s a running joke on /r/financialindependence that they are 99% software engineers.

It's live at https://bitmia.com – if you’d like an invite, feel free to request one on the site. Hopefully when/if this catches fire it will be a nice addition to your daily reading.

Would be great to get your feedback.
Perhaps not in detail, but in general outline:

* I was able to generate my GnuPG keys myself and I know (to the extent that I trust my computing environment) that I am the only one to have access to the secret key(s),

* the state-approved qualified cert is only a single RSA key, for signatures,

* you don't get to make a backup of that key,

* as a result, it can't really be used for anything else than signing documents, so forget about encrypting data or using it for authentication for example (cases where you really do need to have backups),

* the key is stored on a physically inconvenient device (smartcard) and you need to have one and only one of those,

Plus, of course you get the whole beauty of crappy PKI infrastructure (why does every company dealing with certs have to be shady, have a crappy website and in general be a mess?). But that is beside the point, I guess.
This is true, you didn't say that and I apologize. But I live here in Puerto Rico, and the notion that our stable economic future has to be a handout from the United States rankles a bit.

After all, Hawaii's economic stability doesn't seem to be questioned very often, and they're even more susceptible to Jones Act problems than we are - after all, the Act only regulates shipping between American ports. Plenty of non-American ports just hours away by ship. We don't have to ship everything by barge on the four American-owned, American-flagged, American-built, and American-crewed shipping lines that service the island, two of which are embroiled in a price-fixing lawsuit and the third of which somehow managed to go bankrupt.
Very biased "review", but that's what we expect from him.

I believe he has a Google Pixel 2, but apparently he doesn't use it or didn't do any proper research on it.

> > A bookstore relies on having enough copies available at every store

> The bookstore syndicate could collaborate with a third-party, like alibris.

This is exactly my line of argument and the reason why I wrote "Why doesn't the bookstore syndicate [...]". A single bookstore clearly cannot manage this on its own. The bookstore syndicate, on the other hand, has much more options available.
I hope Los Zetas see the opportunity here. They could net a few million from running their playbook on a newly minted crypto-bro thinking he found a "haven" for his money.

If a company isn't growing, its dying. Six years without customer growth? Its amazing they managed to rise a down-round, let alone any round at all.

GitHub is used by programmers. Surprisingly, they tend to be very good at telling computers precisely what they want, in the computers’ own language.

Natural language search is the exact opposite of this, invented for mom & pops who start their search phrase with “Dear Google, I’d like to search for ...”.
"...in what way?"

First, by crushing all the smaller players in ad-tech that can't keep up with all the criteria needed to be included in AMP (Ads are very limited on AMP). Fundamentally, by essentially controlling how content and ads are displayed and being directly involved in this with a lot of available resources and no barrier to entry. It is a bit subtle, which is why others are still playing along right now.

Regarding the URL thing, they announced "Oh by the way, we have too look into this URL thing, we may change that during the next years, it's not good"

This was published via Twitter.

When devs complained and said that things like this needs to be discussed openly and not via invitation to the Google HQ, they got ignored.

This is what I mean with 'autistic', which maybe isn't accurate, I don't know. You could probably say 'arrogant' instead.

Here's a very fitting quote:

"This guise of openness is perhaps even worse than the Apple News Format, which at the very least does not pretend to be an open standard."

https://80x24.net/post/the-problem-with-amp/

Google pretending to be so open and good, while actually being no different to Apple, MS, FB, etc.

That's the Google culture, apparently.
Ok, but I really don't think that any of those conveniences outweigh the downsides of total lack of typing.

Also - you can use the == 'falsiness' whilst still in a strict scenario.

If you take the typing argument one step further, into Typescript, the advantages of just some basic typing become considerably more clear as the compiler/transpiler picks up loads of problems that wouldn't be found otherwise.
This is all true, but is a different question from deniability when sending messages, and leaking metadata when sending information, which is what tptacek claimed:

> ...in particular, it's difficult to send deniable messages with it.

It's easy (unless tptacek is mentioning an attack I am unaware of) to ensure deniability -- encrypt but don't sign.

Folks at-least comment with a good reason before giving negative points for a comment. It helps clarify how the message was received a negative point without a comment is quite pointless and banal.
If it makes for easier programming, yes.

Writing Slack as a native app would be a massive pain. Especially due to all the web-like features it has, the fact that it's one codebase (mainly) for desktop and web.

They also have to support Windows, Linux, Mac and mobile. Not an easy task

Regarding the second part, yes, the fact that academic achievement is highly influenced by socioeconomic status is well supported by research; a big part of the whole correlation is that higher socioeconomic status means better schools, but there's still a strong effect within the same school. There's a bunch of studies that try to estimate the nature/nurture split, but in any case higher socioeconomic status correlates positively with pretty much everything schooling-wise.
I coach the ones that want to learn. Most of 'em, however, will insist that their pigs fly. Only a decade or two of experience will help them.

Books on coding technique won't help much, because one needs experience to understand the point those books try to make.

California Muslim Imam Says Call to Slaughter Infidels Is Free Speech
It seems like your argument strategy is to throw out 10 different ideas. I refute them, then you throw out 10 more. Meanwhile you ignore any evidence I provide. This is not an honest conversation and no evidence is going to change your mind. I feel like a global warming scientist.
The last time I bought some it was from my bank's ATM, but that was almost ten years ago. I think stamps were sold by grocers when I was a child, but I have no idea whether they continue to bother stocking them...

In California, ballots are handled by the resident's county government, and I think each county may design ballots and procedures differently as long as they meet some statewide requirements.

The next mail-in ballot in Los Angeles will change format and become postage pre-paid. I suspect they've changed the postage because the new return format appears to be more bulky than a simple 1st class envelope.

There might well be problems with the supports, but I'm surprised that there are no beams in this design. Steel beams would be the most practical for this size, but I don't see any pre-stressed concrete beams either. Concrete deck is poured in place with non-stressed reinforcement, so it isn't very resistant to bending, and is rarely expected to span such a distance by itself. I know of a shorter one-lane bridge that never has more than one tractor or big truck on it at one time, that nevertheless has a 6" steel beam under the concrete deck under each tire track. Perhaps it was over-engineered, but then again perhaps the bridge in TFA was under-engineered...
Also note how the bookshop claim France have a penchant for paper books, yet they need legislation to protect them.

iOS had integration with 1Password before but it was slightly clunky and required a couple taps to get there.

I do like that each platform tends to stay up with the other for the most part, adopting the good ideas. I switched to iPhone to get the native call blocking API, which I believe in the next release Android adopted as well.

It's not "needed" to rent a car, it actually is needed. Buying/leasing a car versus combining traditional rentals, hourly rentals, and Uber/Lyft/taxis/etc. (plus other forms of transportation) is mostly an economic decision. But not having a license means that you don't have a lot of those options available to you. IOW, there's a big difference between not owning a car and not having the legal ability to drive a car.
Let me guess - you also don't see any reason for minimum wage, minimum health insurance, minimum breaks, minimum maternity leave, or a reason to prevent people from being paid in company scrip.

If you do see the reason for any of those things, then surely you can see it's just a question of where the line is best drawn to create a just society.
the first one is the big one. The inner circle. You'll never be in it, with a manager that just hires his/her entourage over and over again. You'll always be the muggle no matter how hard you work or are patient.
Certificate Transparency implements similar aspects to what be considered a "blockchain" (to money hungry VC people), and it's a similar use case to being a notary.
Really interesting. It must take such discipline to collect this data for 3.5 years.

Trying to answer the question of "does work make me happy?" is much more complex than comparing happiness levels between work and non-work days - they are not independent. How much of your happiness of a non-work day is precisely because it is a day off? An imperfect analogy would be the feeling of enjoying a holiday but also being glad to be home at the end of it.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away. An onion a day keeps everybody away.

Actually, in addition to the rich-person tax scheme, there's also a pretty reasonable tax-abatement scheme for any person, resident or not, who starts a PR-based business employing five people or more in one of a number of target industries, including online services and recycling.

So that one's well-considered, I think.
It's more like common sense.

You wrote a completely wrong thing, edited it when I pointed out it was incorrect, and then 4 hours later you read up about MR on wikipedia or something and came back here and posted a partially correct answer with a lot of buzzwords and nice-sounding phrases, but with even more straw-man arguments and outright errors.

By default there are none. All trusted third parties are security holes [1]. Can't trust any of them. But they're much easier to build to service a need, so they exist. Some are less bad than others (not an expert on exchanges but Gemini and LedgerX come to mind). But they are really just stop gaps until more decentralized options become available and mature.

We know the intelligence agencies have had an interest in this particular topic for a long time, and that they use a variety of means to discourage the use of encryption.

Whether this is one of those means is unclear, but you're still probably better off using some form of free software for your encryption, and any encryption is still better than none.

Oh sure, their stuff only kinda works -- like the products of a great many tech companies. But at the end of the day -- well enough to have people lining outside the door. And they can't seem to stake out new buildings fast enough to keep up with the demand.

I use this analogy, you plant seeds in people's minds with your ideas, the ideas grow into their heads and then they realize that it's a good idea. This happens to me a lot with people that doesn't have full expertise in the problem you are trying to solve.

As a suggestion try to be accountable for your ideas in an email or something like that, and when your lead revives the idea refloat your past email.

However, knowing lots of urban folks, having to rent a car (when everyone else is also wanting to rent a car) for weekends can be a PITA, especially if said car requires special racks and the like for sport equipment.

Of course, when traveling by air for vacation, renting a car is perfectly normal which is what I do.
I understand, i too had the same apprehension about clojure/JVM before i used it. Though the startup time of clojure was slow, Java is anything but slow. The startup tie has improved quite a low in clojure the past few months, but leiningen is still a pain to use.

> TLDR: Java is very fast, Clojure uses JVM in ways which are inherently slow on that VM.

JVM is really not the best platform for hosting either dynamic languages or functional ones.

1) Propose your ideas in an email, preferable with someone else cc’d on it.

2) Propose your ideas to several people on your team at once.

3) Find someone more trustworthy if you need a sounding board.

4) Talk to your manager.

5) If you don’t have good relationship with your manager AND your tech lead, it’s pretty clearly time to find a new job.
This might be a little off-topic because I only vaguely remember using Evernote, and thus am not as familiar with its feature set; but does anyone here use Google Keep? I remember trying it during its soft launch, but didn’t revisit it (Google Drive and Pinboard are sufficient for me). But I can’t recall the last time I’ve ever heard someone mention that they use it.
The universal basic income isn't "there" at all. If our liberal masters are in fact pushing for a universal basic income, they are doing so in such a subtle fashion you'd almost think they opposed it with every fiber of their being.

Running a trade deficit doesn't inherently mean you are losing utility from the trade. Your trade deficit with Walmart (or Costco, or whatever) is negative but both of you gained from the trade. China cheats, and there is no doubt in that; but I am not convinced that US's trade deficit is purely or even mostly a result of that.
It's interesting because you can replace "China" with "The United States" and most of those bullet points are still true.
okay, what should we do about all the people on the island then?
Ah. Yes. You're right. There's no tax policy Puerto Rico could implement, because tax policy is a weak tool to start with.

Now I see how I mistook the argument you were making.
Just for comparison the Estonian system:

* As far as I know upon cert renewal the new cert is generated on your computer, uploaded to the card and then deleted - you could theoretically intercept that but I don't see why you would - the key is more secure on the card

* The state-approved certs one is for e-identification (when PIN is entered also authentication), other for signing (AFAIK not RSA but EC)

* See point one

* Encrypting data can be done but as the software warns, it's to protect the data during transit not when idle and nothing is stopping me from using the card daily to log into my bank and other services I need to use

* The key is stored on the smart card but you can get multiple (AFAIK at least for e-identification).

Don't know much about the Estonian PKI infrastructure though and it seems stable enough for daily use without any noticeable hiccups.
Kind of weakens the argument for negotiating the non-compete clause(s) out of the contract. You might get screwed anyway if the hiring company assumes you had to sign one.
