These are basically the main downside though - I switched to Apple News after Google started inserting YouTube videos in Google News, and haven't looked back. AMP also broke the browser back button as well, adding insult on top of injury.
Pretty sure that AWS doesn't have permission to conduct criminal investigations. Those would need to be turned over to a criminal prosecutor.

Rest API? Sure. Building webpages? I dont think it was made for that... Although Go templates can work, its still not as flexible as you might want it to be.
Google News was the trigger for me to start moving away from Google platforms because of privacy concerns. It felt wrong to scan the results and have something catch your eye only to remember you were looking at something similar earlier in the day. Customization may be good for some areas but seems dangerous for news.

The other shocker for me was when they released a way to view your historical location. I had had no idea that the app was tracking my daily commute for the previous year, and it was enough to make me switch to DuckDuckGo.
The problem was some idiot at Google though burying a fiber optic cable 2 inches below ground was adequate protection.
I have to agree with you.

>Helicopter parenting

>Instead of strict obedience, they emphasize adaptability, problem-solving and independence

These two don't align. The main detriment of helicopter parenting is that it does not promote independence. Furthermore, I'm from a country that does fairly well in PISA tests and I find that kids here tend to have far more freedom than in most western countries. Kids play on their own across town without any supervision even before the age of 7. Kids also come and go to school on their own at age 7. Sometimes the school is a few kilometers away in a city and that's considered normal. This isn't an anecdote against the study, but rather against the author's wording.

>Using data from a national study that followed thousands of American teenagers for years, the authors found that the offspring of “authoritative” parents were more likely to graduate from college and graduate school, especially compared with those with authoritarian parents.

This doesn't necessarily mean that they had better outcomes. I can guess at why kids with authoritative parents might be more likely to go to college and get a graduate degree, but I'm not sure it actually results in better outcomes. A degree in something useless is not worth the time and money it costs. A degree you don't finish is worth even less, because college seems to be largely about signaling.
> Honestly, Go is great. Its simplicity is refreshing and its performance unmatched. I would still pick it if we need a small API or something that requires high throughput.

It's easy (and fun!) to go down the rabbit hole philosophically.

Does Jeff deserve billions of dollars more than the hundreds of thousands of Amazon employees who have collectively built the company? Are their fruits of their labor worth so much less than his, regardless of Jeff's hard business decisions and many more hours per week worked, simply because of how equity is constructed and distributed? Jeff has clearly spent over 20 years building his company, nights, weekends, missed time with family he'll never get back, but can you point to the decisions worth hundreds of millions of dollars to Jeff alone?

Value, its attribution, and its equitable distribution is hard, and executed in an imperfect fashion.
FWIW, I've also never head of any sort of generalized stigma regarding speeding. In specific contexts, yes - like "that guy who speeds down this residential street lined with yards full of playing children". But I've never heard of anyone speaking of "speeders" in general the way we speak of, say, "rapists", or "drug dealers", or "kiddie fiddlers" or any of the general "bad people" templates that exist.
As you said, it is a message board. Basically everything is prefaced with an implicit "I believe", "in my experience", or "in my context". For example, "it is dark outside".

The phrasing of my original statement itself made it quite clear that I was invoking a definition of constitutional different from the simplistic what the Supreme Court decided.

The reason I have characterized it as "quashing dissent" is that you are attempting to rule out what I have said categorically, by choosing definitions and then arguing that my statement is nonsensical with your definitions.

> You are doing it again when you assert that I am conflating legality and morality

I said it was akin. If one thinks marijuana is bad, then it's awfully convenient to counter an argument advocating its benefits with a simple statement that it is illegal. This removes the argument from the context of debating the substance on its own merits, and causes the proponent to fight an uphill battle to get back there.
Which makes stories like this a lot more interesting:

The Saudis really disliked the Washington Post digging into their murder of Khashoggi, it doesn't seem too crazy that they set their sights on the boss and ended up stumbling upon some juicy texts and pics. The really interesting part is how they got to AMI. I have to imagine there is a Trump connection somewhere along the way.
Is the tech industry at large truly that immature? You are describing a slice of the industry as hype and blog driven ADHD thrill seekers - and probably quite accurately - but is that slice really 80%?

My own professional experience is from computer graphics and CAD (mobile and desktop) so I've never been directly influenced by the hype machine affecting web development.
I feel this argument makes the perfect the enemy of the good.

If as a result of what he does, the bar lowers for others to get redress. But, I did not see a surge in low-bar redress stem from Peter Theil's legal action. I saw him pony up significantly more lawyer points in a fight which the publisher couldn't win. He killed them. Every other publishers legal defence insurance went up, but none of them think this means they have to be sorry the next time they defame a small time player. If you can't even get in the door to complain, nothing Theil did helped.

OK nothing is maybe arguing to hard. There will be some redress for ordinary folk from this. Some.

To your side of the argument, the stuff in the UK taking on News Ltd over abuse of phone tapping went beyond simple famous people win: some famous people (Elle McPherson) settled privately, but others secured real redress for more ordinary people.
I have done things in my past that people could and may publicly shame me for. I was worrying TODAY about what I could do to try to avoid a possible future where my research gets derailed from some kind of extortion. It's my understanding that reciprocal altruism can spread easily through a competitive community, but extortion can overcome altruism when information is kept private.

This is Jeff Bezos helping us figure out useful language for standing up to extortion, which is important if we want reciprocal altruism to be a new cultural norm. Transparency is the anti-extortion pattern.

Thank you for your contribution, Jeff!

> Facebook’s enterprise certificate was revoked because it violated Apple’s policy by using it to distribute applications to users who’re not “internal” and not employees/contractors. That the app in question was also sleazy (as Facebook usually seems to be) was a coincidence in this case.

The rules were written to block sleazy apps. That the rules were the instrument by which the certificates were revoked doesn’t decouple the app’s sleaziness from its removal. (Similarly, saying “he went to jail for stealing” is accurate. Despite the reason for the jailing being the statute banning stealing.)
I can give some advice, but you should take it with a grain of salt :) I have been more of an infrastructure guy, and building the platforms with quants/traders, and not really trading myself. I am also more familiar with HFT trades overall.

I think you're on the right track regarding value investment, if you're thinking about it long-term, and it's for personal investments. Passive index funds like SPY are the best bet for most people. Finding companies or following trends you in particular have some insight on can also help. Things like "having worked in industry X, and having read their whitepapers, this new company is clearly overbought and is all marketing hype".

If you want to get more analytical, look at portfolio theory, different hedging strategies, and try and find "alpha" - roughly meaning the extra factors explaining the price of an instrument that gives you an edge over others. Check out Quantopian - they have some nice articles too. The key is coming up with a model that accurately captures the risk of your assets which would allow you to properly allocate your money amongst them.

I owned the majority of the configuration system and ecosystem for Borg, Google's internal cluster management and application platform.

Unfortunately, what described here is good in many level, but not excellent in any.

If you are OK to describe the complexity of your infrastructure in a programming language similar to the general purpose language, then a well abstracted API built on original APIs from cloud providers are more familiar to devs. And it will be more reliable performance and flexible.

If you want a config experience, something like kustomize is leaner and more compatible with the text config model.

I also cannot see how this interoperate with other tools, which will seriously limit it's appeals to people using other tools.

It's still a horrible abomination of a language that invites bugs and requires A LOT of care to not produce buggy code, though.

The Saudis say they don’t know how it came to be. AMI, which publishes The National Enquirer, insists it had no outside editorial or financial assistance, from the Trump administration or otherwise.

Semantics aside, I'll say it again: people addicted to Startup Porn GREATLY underestimate the value of a business that generates a million dollars a year. Even if the earnings are 5% or 3% or even 1% ....getting someone to give you that much money for something you are selling is a lot harder than most people realize. Whether it's a million widgets at one dollar each or one widget at a million dollars, that's a LOT of money to be transacting.
> but it is neat to see it actually work.

Your brain does this all the time - the resolution of your eyes is actually quite poor compared to what you perceive (as much as a 25x difference). It's quite easy to demonstrate:

> For the most impressive results -- I guarantee you will be amazed -- use a dim room with no light apart from the computer screen; a pretty strong effect will still be seen even if the room has daylight coming into it, as long as it is not bright sunshine. Cut a slit about 1.5mm wide in the card. On the screen, display http://www.inference.org.uk/mackay/itila/Files.html

> Stand or sit sufficiently far away that you can only just read the text -- perhaps a distance of four metres or so, if you have normal vision. Now, hold the slit vertically in front of one of your eyes, and close the other eye. Hold the slit near to your eye -- brushing your eyelashes -- and look through it. Waggle the slit slowly to the left and to the right, so that the slit is alternately in front of the left and right sides of your pupil. What do you see? I see the red objects waggling to and fro, and the blue objects waggling to and fro, through huge distances and in opposite directions, while white objects appear to stay still and are negligibly distorted. Thin magenta objects can be seen splitting into their constituent red and blue parts. Measure how large the motion of the red and blue objects is -- it's more than 5 minutes of arc for me, in a dim room. Then check how sharply you can see under these conditions -- look at the text on the screen, for example: is it not the case that you can see (through your whole pupil) features far smaller than the distance through which the red and blue components were waggling? Yet when you are using the whole pupil, what is falling on your retina must be an image blurred with a blurring diameter equal to the waggling amplitude.

I like the analogies, but I'd like to nitpick, if I may.

"While the grammar is mostly regular here, two things make this challenging: the nonsensical assignment of genders to nouns and (...)"

The given examples for weird assignment of genders are inadequate because they are explained by common rules.

Das Mädchen: Diminutive words are always neutral, and Mädchen is the diminutive of Magd.

Die Männlichkeit: Words ending on 'keit', 'heit', or 'ung' are always female.

It does not make a difference if the phone line is good or bad; the words Rat and Rad are pronounced identical, thanks to the Auslautverhärtung.

File-based configs are a troublesome abstraction: they package unrelated concerns into a rigid document whose form must take a particular, application-dependent shape, and the assembly and disassembly of that document essentially becomes an API where key-value pairs are mixed with complex glue code. The application has to do this internally, but anyone who's generating their configs are also doing parts of this externally.

Templates try to bandage over that by drilling down the abstraction to key-value pairs themselves. And imperative constructs that sneak into templating languages are an artifact of wanting to gain expressiveness without losing the benefits of declarative form -- but really, the two are at odds.

YAML is a red herring -- we had the same headaches with XML a decade prior. The problem is always that there's relationships among the data (or even multiple instances of the config) that we care about, but that the structure of a single config file at rest cannot model.

Databases -- let's say, an SQL one -- are actually among the better solutions, because they allow the universe of config items to live in structured places without overspecifying the exact form the data must take when serialized into a file. Then, data can be normalized where it makes sense to avoid repetition and introduce propagation. An SQL database gives all the tools needed to accomplish this, using mostly declarative code.

Databases in a KV sense are often used for configuration, and SQLite's rise has increased richly structured configs that are specified at a higher level than what's typically done with other serialization formats, but the full approach has not caught on outside big enterprise systems and complex applications. Which is a shame, because it's hardly more complex than the current awkward pairing of a full serializer and a templating engine.
High speed trains are unlikely to replace short hop air transport in America. The fact is that rights of way don't exist, and land acquisition is enormously expensive. Freight dominates the railways.

This looks very interesting. How do you think this concept will perform on larger files (assuming it goes past prototype).

For example, when we started storing data chunks in Cassandra, we found that Cassandra's performance was not optimal due to the way it was dealing with compactions and deleted data.

I'm not familiar enough with FoundationDB's data model design, so would be interesting to know what do you think about possible developments of this project.
Hm, I hate to be on the bandwagon, but why WordPress? One of the things that has made PHP become what it is today is a focus on good software engineering and the introduction of language features that are required by that. WordPress did not keep up on the engineering front and there are so many amazing options out there now for well written, well engineered platforms. Even in pre-built blog platforms.

You're not alone mind you, most of the new platforms are not very popular just because of how embedded WordPress is in its ecosystem. It just surprises me that both WordPress never moved on and that the PHP developer community never chose something different when it was clear WordPress had no intention of moving to more modern practices.

Allowing trailing commas, like Python does, would be really great. Unfortunately trailing commas already mean something: (a,b,) is a function that still takes 1 argument to make a triple. It's called "TupleSections".
