Why wouldn't China support it for other countries? THey'd benefit from the knowledge but would not pay for it. Meanwhile, I can imagine that they'd follow a more restrictive policy that would limit the viewing of Chinese research publications to Chines scientists.

Yes, a big plus for lithium. However, demand and usage will only increase need for lithium out in the field and that could prove a bumpy curve and with all resources of a finite amount, we hit a plateau. Question is, will demand outstrip supply or will supply manage to maintain a pace that stays at least equal to that demand. It is with this in mind, that I call it the new oil.

>Site operators just don't want to maintain two complete copies of their password change infrastructure (one for people, one for programmable interaction).

Seems like the issue isn't the idea, it's the way they're implementing it.

Shouldn't it be ui(api(pwd changing code)), not ui(pwd changing code) + api(pwd changing code)?

> even if there was a generic API, the sites themselves aren't generic, each one requires a different series of steps with unique error messages

Again this sounds like an implementation issue, not an idea issue.

People can use all of kinds of weird status codes if they like as long as they implement 200, 401 and 500. Those three cover the bases.

And I don't think the proposal covers any site-specific options and could standardize on key naming (`email`, `password`, `username`, etc) Password managers already keep this info and more, I think LastPass will even store your credit cards and has profiles so you can swap between business, personal and other info.

I liked firefox on mobile for ability to use addons. But with some update it started being totally unresponsive and crashing my phone, so I switched back to chrome which happily displays ":)" with 100+ tabs open.

> Kickstarter (for all it's warts) requires a working prototype to post on their site

What do you mean by "working prototype"? I ran a successful software Kickstarter last year and all we had going in was a mockup (created in Keynote) of what the app would look like.

I expected that it would take hours/days after I "submitted for review" for the campaign to be approved, but it was instantaneously approved and went live.
It's not fair to call it "still not fixed". That behavior is entirely intentional and working as designed (even if it's not useful for all C enums), and no changes to it were planned for this edition.

My point was rather that Google search may not be that sticky.

Coca Cola is sticky through brand advertising, business deals, product placement, etc. Pretty much all that money spent by people on bottles of the sugary water was pumped into marketing, not into manufacturing. Over decades this created a very firm image in the people's heads, and the only way to dislodge it is to create a new brand for younger consumers (which Coca Cola will purchase as soon as it shows traction).

ERP software is deeply ingrained into business processes, removing it is akin to removing a person's neural system. The only way to dislodge that is to address up-and-coming companies, having them build their processes around a new paradigm.

You can't just beat any of this via superior quality product, they have "a moat" [1]

Google doesn't have that loyalty, and it's not that deeply ingrained. They ride on their default placement in Chrome/iOS and on the search result quality (which stems from quality engineering and superior scale yielding large data sets). If someone used NLP to build a more relevant search engine (of course serving more relevant ads), it won't be long before that new search engine starts using their revenue to pay higher $$ amount to hardware manufacturers to make a new engine the default. It's a shaky ground, and it's why Google is re-inventing itself and AI company - if they don't then someone else will. There is some strength in Google's name itself, but I'm not sure it can match to the visceral reaction to an addictive sugary drink.

I think the bad state to be in is:

* There is a number of implementations of the same platform.

* Those implementations are competing and the market encourages them to be in-compatible with each other.

You can avoid that bad state by having an explicit standard and applying pressure on all implementations to meet that standard. It usually comes at the expense of slower innovation.

But another viable way to avoid that bad state is to simply not have competing implementations. A single canonical implementation also solves the problem of ensuring all users get a compatible experience. It can come at the expense of evolving in a way that doesn't meet user needs because there isn't a competitive incentive to win users.

I don't think there are perfect solutions, but I also don't think it's the end of the world if this becomes a monoculture. There are tons of "platforms" that are effectively mono-cultures and seem to be OK. Every rechargeable tool company has its own battery pack form factor. Up until recently, each laptop company had a different port for the AC adapter.

What I think this is really showing is that the market size of the web is shrinking relative to the size of the browser standards. Mobile apps have eaten up so much user share and HTML+CSS+JS+etc. has gotten so big and complex that the desktop web market can't effectively support multiple independent browser implementations any more. It's just too much work for too little return.

There's maybe an interesting lesson here in not letting your platform get too complex. New features are always nice, but they have a cost. If you pile on too many of them, you may undermine your platform's ability to support multiple independent implementations.
It’s interesting because, on the surface, it appears that China is exerting more control over its population while the EU seems to be giving back control to its population. But reading between the lines, the EU is actually moving toward more political control over its member countries, just like China but in a more progressively palatable format.

>Last year I did invent a novel mechanism to allow tokens to comply with securities laws while both allowing end users to spend them as utility tokens and accredited investors to profit from them as investments, so I'm curious to see if a real market need develops here.

Not saying you didn’t. But keep in mind one of the biggest and most prominent law firms in the tech/startup/Blockchain space published the original “legal framework” for SAFTs (simple agreement for tokens) based on SAFEs(simple agreements for equity) which was premised on a utility token...18 months later the SEC dropped the hammer on companies who ICO’ed using said SAFT framework.

So question did you submit your legal framework to the SEC and they told you it is compliant?
Not sure what the parent drives but there are a number of variables to consider, for example with Tesla supercharing often will degrade the battery faster as will charing it in trip mode for the same number of miles driven, but there is a good amount of data out there for this car.

Funny that you completely ignore my simple query and instead repeat two fallacies that have already been addressed. I am using the definition of left wing given by wikipedia. You can argue that is wrong if you like, but pretending it is me that is uniquely wrong is silly. And I did not conflate far left and left at any point in any way. I stated very clearly that far left is taking the left wing position to its extreme, and then gave the wikipedia definition of left wing, which is what needs to be taken to extreme to be "far left".

Lets look at the reality of France. The people of France are in open revolt against the government over its left wing policy. The people are clearly to the right of the ruling class. That doesn't sound very center right does it? Just because the parties in France are all far left, doesn't mean the ruling party is "center right". Just because the political parties are #3200FF, #3400FF, #3000FF and #3600FF doesn't make #3600FF "redish purple". They are all blue.
That's fine if your only other scheme is "exact matching words". But once you break from that, even a little bit, the number of different possible schemes balloons quickly. For instance, 3 words + a symbol at the end. A cracker can try all the words, sure. But they're probably not going to try every different "all the words plus a little twist" schemes.
It likely refers to the technical definition of the core of a telco network, see e.g. the evolved packet core part of a 4g/lte network https://i.ytimg.com/vi/6dt9xVMvtB8/maxresdefault.jpg , of which the eNodeb's ("phone masts") are not part of.

At least for 4g some layers of the control plane and all the user plane data are encrypted when passed through the eNodeb's. Albeit an eNodeb can probably do a lot of nefarious things if it wants to.

Or they mean literally just the phone masts and antennas - which are just inert components.

Looking for app developer
> (i'm used to chrome, my information is in chrome, I'm used to the dev tools in chrome, and I personally and selfishly have no reason to switch to Edge, even if it's technically better)

Yep, the same can be said for Firefox. There are hundreds of threads with hundreds of comments on places like Hacker News and Reddit and Ars Technica, all grousing about how Google is the behemoth that is taking over, Chrome is bloated and slowing down and e-mails all of your personal bits to Google, oh woe shouldn't there be a equal competitor in the market, blah, blah...

But too few people actually put their clicking where their talking is and switch to any other browser. People seem hardwired to say "yeah I know it sucks but I want to use Google and thus I want to use Chrome."

Far fewer people with software development skills--that I sorely lack--bother to contribute to Firefox (or, heaven forbid, Thunderbird) development to fix those problems.

Meanwhile, I hug Firefox just a little bit closer every year, wondering if this year is the year that the project fails or simply stops moving forward or whatever. I'm thrilled that companies like Privacy, Krypt.co, and even Capital One still make Firefox extensions and I use them daily. But for how long, when every technology-oriented person on the planet seems hell-bent on using Chrome, outcomes be damned?

> Lucca had faded into semi-rural, semi-industrial outskirts that will likely never be on any tour itinerary. It was not particularly impressive or photo-worthy – it was a moment that would be hard to justify to someone else, to explain why, out of all the things I could have done, I had chosen to be there.

I beg to differ. My wife and I made a day trip there when we were staying in Florence. Lucca is a beautiful little town with some cool medieval architecture and history. It's a rare example of a town that still has its original walls intact. There were tourists but it wasn't crowded, and for under 10 euros you can climb a couple towers from the 14th century for a spectacular view of the town and rural countryside. Highly recommended if you're in the area.

> MS could have chosen to base their platform on Firefox...

There actually might have been an outcry over this. I'm not aware of any Firefox forks, for example, that aren't focused on privacy. MS would have been the first to fork FF and undo lots of the privacy features in the browser (engine).

With Chrome/Chromium, there's a reluctant acceptance of data-harvesting and (unethical) tracking.

I wonder if MS gave the above scenario some thought...
Awesome, very happy to see this.

Now I'm curious - are you putting this to use somewhere already? Or is it for the time being "just" an experiment for the joy of implementing in itself? :)

Thanks for sharing!
