This move is aimed to quell the critique based on a hypothetis that contributions to AMP that go against Google's vision would be rejected. It also is a move in good faith to transition the project's governance away from Google to a goal-oriented crew of many interested parties who can derive benefit from its solutions.

I've written about AMP on here a lot [1], and frequently include this disclaimer. My views on it have evolved as time went on, being more sympathetic to some of the critiques, but also to the efforts of the AMP team to address many of the complaints.

While a number of technical critiques to AMP remain, increasingly, the criticism is:

- ideological (e.g. "Google is trying to destroy the open web"),

- misinformed (e.g. "Google is stealing traffic from publishers"),

- nihilist (e.g. "everyone who uses AMP only does so because you need it to rank high in search"),

- full of naïve bravado (e.g. "all we need is clean HTML"),

- or related to the fact that Google's mobile search page has stealth-morphed into a captive newsreader that surfaces AMP-ified articles with Javascript without ever leaving the page.

Out of these, the lattermost is the only one that raises a true anticompetitive concern, which Google seems keen on ignoring. However, I'd say that's for the Google Search team, rather than the AMP team, to address.

It's pretty handy, but doing it for RSA and other crypto systems which rely on large primes is much harder than doing it for crypto systems which can basically use random numbers with a few safety checks just due to the nature of key derivation functions. It is possible though, I seem to remember seeing a paper on it a while back and it should be entirely achievable to do something simple like seed the rng you use for generating RSA keys with an explicit value like that.

For basic signing and verifying purposes I believe Electrum and a few other clients actually include functionality for this which could be used as an alternative to PGP.
This is what a lot of people don't understand. They say thinks like "Country A has nothing that country B wants". Suppose we are in a world with only 2 countries, and country A has only apples to trade and country B has beautiful cars. It may well be that B doesn't want goods from A and A wants goods from B, nevertheless no trade deficit will occur unless there are foreign capital inflows. And if neither side allows foreign capital flows, then either A and B wont trade, or A and B will trade so that goods flow in both directions with no deficit.

So, we have to tease apart the question of "do I want to buy this good" with the question of "why do people on one border consistently buy more goods than those on another". The former is up to individual preferences, but the latter -- the trade deficit -- is really just a matter of policy.
Because it was trying to decide if it's a shopping bag or a bike or a human or a squirrel...for six seconds, long enough to stop multiple times. The problem, from what we know so far, wasn't "car didn't see her," it was "car wasn't sure what it was, therefore squirrel."

And the larger point stands: "protect occupants, ignore outsiders" is a choice in the TP, always choosing the same strategy is not "TP is irrelevant."

Range resolution isn't the problem. Angular resolution is.

Here's a video of what's claimed to be one of the higher resolution radars.[1] About one degree. It can see cars.

Many new startups in this area.[2] Most are operating in the 77GHz range, which is OK for sensing other cars but marginal for smaller targets. LIDAR-type resolution is still a ways off.

I'm going to guess you're not from Europe based on that definition?

The EU constrains companies to the benefit of individuals. It's not stopping people from hurting themselves, it's stopping them from being hurt by companies who have phenomenal power over us, more power in some ways than states themselves have.
a bomb at the bottom of the water in Britain (given the historic context of Germany bombing) has probably detonator in the armed state. The detonator just didn't triggered back then because for example the bomb hit the mud (naturally for the bomb falling into the river). That detonator still has high chances of going off in any moment as result of rust and/or any disturbance like from a boat passing too close. So the earlier such bomb is found [by anybody] and is removed by professionals the better. (back then, during the 4-6th grades, we found and "responsibly" disposed off [in a campfire in a forest outside the city] a range of WWII munitions. All without detonators of course. The detonator makes huge difference and we wouldn't touch the stuff with it attached - didn't even attempt to check the state of the detonator, after all we were after the fun, not suicide)

Forget the technology of creating flying car for less than $10 million. What I want to see is feasibility analysis from safety, economic, noise. energy and infrastructure point of views.

- Flying car would be an energy hog. Flying consumes a lots of energy. Especially without large wings. Even if it's electric, that's increases energy consumption.

- How does aviation safety scale? Visual inspection every morning, how many hours fight time before deeper inspections are required? Almost every part that goes to commercial aviation costs 10X what it costs for a car, because you must secure every nut and bolt.

- Noise levels. Even after you design the car to be as silent as possible the decibels will be higher than you get from leaf blower.
I noticed that as well... Kept wondering which one was actually correct. In the bullshit-ise that the page is written in, they seem equally likely to me.
This sounds huge. There's entire businesses centered around very specific state laws like this (cf. notarize.com).

I hope this spreads. As long as notarization remains important, digital notarization is important.
You can certainly try to invent your own standard, but you won't get the major news publishers to adopt it without incentives from a big company like Google, Facebook, or Apple. Who else controls that much traffic?

I agree, a very American view.

Nobody but the national regulatory instance of each country can sue, and they are in general not very happy on legal procedures.

In practice, a common Euro-pattern is this: First, a sternly worded private letter is sent to the target company. If that doesn't help, a public statement is made. After that, basic legal procedures for a small amount. The amount gets larger when the abuse is more flagrant and previous messages did not help. When the target company seems to co-operate reasonably well, no legal procedures are even started.
I use them as well. You can avoid this issue entirely by creating a "click" domain. All you have to do is set a CNAME and then your links go to your own domain instead of go.sparkpostmail1.com

> even software professionals have massively underestimated the difficulty of.

Software professionals are somewhat notorious for underestimating the difficulty of their projects. There's a massive amount of literature about that, proposing various techniques of mitigating this on a personal, team, or organization level.

That being said, I think in this particular case the problem was more of an overestimation of what the ability to work with highly dimensional data (as in ML algorithms) can give you (and underestimating the practical problems of deploying the ML-based systems). Basically, people tried running 30+ years old algorithms on GPUs while feeding them the ungodly amounts of data and realized that, with sufficient horse-power, they can make them (finally) work (as in: do something genuinely useful). This built up a lot of hype, of which self-driving cars are just one offshoot, I think.

Anyway, (if it's not evident from the above ;)) I find your arguments convincing and share your doubts. Self-driving cars are probably not impossible to achieve, but to get there we either need decades of research and progress or a couple of very high-profile breakthroughs in tech and theory. I won't hold my breath for neither :)
> Are you alleging widespread murder or merely contradicting yourself?

Look there is quite a range between these 2 options. And the 2 options, thank you very much, are obviously 2 doctors agreeing correctly, and "widespread murder". I am alleging that the basis for these decisions is important to the moral problems inherent in transplants.

Also you can link to the definition and treat it like it is as accurate as a theoretical mathematical definition, but in medicine ... it just isn't. Braindead is "irreversible brain damage", and aside from the general agreement that for a short-term diagnosis (autonomous) breathing must have stopped, as well as some reflexes, there is very little agreement on what exactly is required. Can you tell the difference between the brain not giving instructions for breathing and sufficiently damaged muscles (or a subtle mechanical problem) resulting it not much actual movement ? Not in all cases. For a long-term braindead diagnosis, it is not required that the patient has stopped breathing, and reflexes can just be perfectly fine as well. And of course, doctors are to make this diagnosis with varying (lack of) equipment. Can you tell if an EEG would be flat by testing reflexes ? I can't. Can you tell blood flow through the brain based on an EEG ? (I get that if a person is awake then yes, you can. You can't tell if a brain is at 1% or 0% of normal functioning on an EEG (even 5%). You just can't. Not possible. And a scanner to diagnose brain death is just not going to happen. Even an EEG is not always going to happen)

So doctors have to, at some point, make a guess based on very incomplete information, with all sorts of pressure. Time pressure, tiredness, lack of equipment, lack of correct information, lack of staff and indeed the effect of either outcome on their relationships and eventually on their careers. This presents moral hazards. And just saying, a doctor is not going to get fired by an hospital board if they declare an alcohol overdosed patient braindead, even if he wakes up while waiting for transplant, unless it happens repeatedly (and even then) (I'm not saying it's a positive either). And are they going to be convicted in a court ? Sure. Probably. But doctors get convicted regularly for making correct decisions so that's not a factor in the decision. Hospitals and/or insurance will take care of their defense, and any consequence.

So whilst I'm saying that in your way too extreme comparison it's obviously not anywhere close to "widespread murder", I am claiming that it's not 100% correct decisions either. For a few good reasons it's not ... for a few "can't be helped" reasons it's not ... and for a few bad reasons it's not.
Nope. Keybase supports GPG keys, but they haven't been used or generated by default for three years: https://keybase.io/blog/keybase-new-key-model

There's no real reason to use GPG. Make an arbitrary scheme on top of something like NaCl and you'll probably be safer.

That's absolutely true. I just found out that there are currently two AMP cache providers, Google and Cloudflare: https://www.ampproject.org/docs/fundamentals/how_cached.

For users with some objection to Google, it's not clear to me how they are supposed to change their personal AMP cache provider, like with a browser configuration setting or something. Is it Cloudflare's intention that other search engines like DDG use their AMP cache?
>I disagree that it's "not unique,"

When I say it's "not unique" I'm acknowledging there are other gated communities with low traffic. The closest one I can think of to Rice is in Montrose on Courtland Place. If you ever went to KPFT on Lovett and noticed a big wall where Lovett ends that's the back side of their little community. Look on street view or satellite view of Google maps at Bagby and Courtland Place to see what I mean.

Also the first neighborhood I listed is separate and distinct from the Rice University campus. It shares a border but it's not part of their land holdings: all the homes are privately owned.

For simple operations like encrypting individual files or applying a signature to a document --- where the alternatives is already insecure --- PGP is fine, if clunky.

For modern message encryption, PGP is inferior to alternatives and generally should be avoided:

1. It lacks any native notion of forward secrecy or meaningful compromise recovery, which is table stakes for modern protocols.

2. Partly as a result of (1), it leaks meta-information; in particular, it's difficult to send deniable messages with it.

3. The most compatible subset of its protocols are built on 1990s cryptography, including non-AE bulk ciphers and RSA.

4. Its tooling is difficult to use, even more difficult to use with what we'd now consider adequate opsec, and far more difficult still for an ordinary person to use that way.

5. That tooling is of wildly variable quality; PGP sees somewhat routine vulnerabilities in its tools, which invariably get downplayed ("that's not a bug in PGP!").

6. Its most mainstream use is to attempt to layer modern message security on top of email, which is its own can of worms.

Generally, you should use Signal or maybe Wire (if you're a Signalphobe) in preference to PGP.

For an application where it really mattered, you'd want to see a signature system derived from SHA2 and Ed25519, with no backwards-compatibility towards archaic cryptography. There's nothing mainstream that really gives you this right now, but really there isn't much (outside of blockchainia, which is already hipster-deep in modern crypto esoterica) that really demands secure digital signatures.
The line should be drawn at non-negotiable “take it or leave it” clauses that benefit only one party. This is not an agreement made on equal footing, it’s an ultimatum.

He wouldn’t settle it for $20M because libel damages aren’t capped at ~$400K in the UK. It doesn’t take “dozens of detectives” to undermine Unsworth’s story, but Musk has not yet managed to show anything, not even a FB or forum post, that would contradict Unsworth’s assertion of when he first visited Thailand.

The stereotype of white men going to Thailand for sex tourism isn’t proof. And to think it is evidence is incredibly ironic, because Unsworth, besides being the resident expert of the cave’s geography, reportedly had to push hard for Thai authorities to take his advice to bring in his British expert diver friends who ended up conducting the rescue.

You’re backing off from your original assertion:

> It's still the responsibility of the ISP to deliver connectivity to other hosts on the internet at their promised speed, regardless what is necessary to do so or how it operates internally

So they don’t have to deliver 1 gbps to every end point, they just need to “do a proper job” to make the bandwidth “usable.” But what does “proper job” mean? Historically, it has meant making reasonable efforts to reach interconnection agreements with other network operators. It has not meant that you’re required to upgrade your peering so that 50%+ of all your traffic can come from a single peer, at no cost to the other peer.

Ask HN: What features would you add in a computer language?
I was having a discussion with my co-workers about cool features to add in a computer language. I want to know what features would you guys add in a computer language?

I would add:

* traits
* PHP's magic functions
* coroutine
* C/C++ family syntax
* Java's OOP
* Erlang/Elixir's concurrent model
* Elixir's pattern matching
* C++'s templates
* C++'s operator overload
* python's slice
* Erlang/Elixir's preemptive green threads
* package manager
* C#'s property
* async/await

What about you guys?

Stock dividends work just fine in a static economy. A field that produces X produce for 100 years is not exponential growth even with a steady x% annual ROI.

As to land look up an acre of Iowa farmland. It’s not worth that much in comparison to a an acre near a city. But to see that growth you need to predict were massive migration and infrastructure investments take place while subtracting taxes.
Just make the cars slower and this problem is solved. 20mph in cities is safer for everyone, doesn‘t take longer to drive and allows sharing the road.

Meh. Everyone is fucked up in some way, usually in a way that's a product of their times (classic example: Jefferson and slavery).

Always seemed to me that critical thinking is partly about sorting the good shit from the bad; to put it another way, this is why it's important to not trust authority just because it's authority. Evaluate each thing on its own merits (as best as your capabilities the situation allows) and go from there.
