Except that's not how it works in reality (and the article covers this): if I go to China with my T-Mobile US SIM card in my phone, and connect to a Chinese telecom network, I will still be able to access Facebook, Google, and any news site, regardless of whether or not the Great Firewall would usually block it for Chinese citizens with Chinese SIM cards.

But Apple is censoring content on US phones with US SIM cards while they're physically located inside China, which is a huge departure from established practice, and isn't actually useful since the same non-Chinese phone can access all the same news sites via Safari.
> What you're saying about being able to represent every value a computer can represent would be true for say linear or quadratic equations too, but those are not rich enough to simulate all of computation.

True, but this is a strange comparison to make. Calling an equation "linear" or "quadratic" is a statement about the kinds of computation involved in the equation. Calling an equation "Diophantine" is a statement about the kinds of solutions to that equation that you, the author/reader, consider acceptable. These are not comparable concepts.

I understood the claim "Diophantine equations are sufficient to represent a computer" to contrast with e.g. "Real-valued equations are sufficient to represent a computer". It's true that real numbers have more power (vaguely defined) than integers do, so I can see why this comparison might be drawn in the first place. But since computers can't use real numbers, I still don't find it surprising that integers are sufficient.

> A computer does more than store values: it also performs computation.

Yes, but this is not a way in which computers differ from equations. And there are no restrictions on the types of computation you can invoke in an equation, whereas computers are e.g. restricted to computing computable numbers.

> And “they’re rich enough to simulate computers” refers to the celebrated (and surely surprising!) theorem...

The proof of the incompleteness theorem involves showing that integers, by themselves, are rich enough to represent any arbitrary mathematical statement. Why would it be surprising that adding structure on top of the integers lets you keep the expressive power you already had? "x = k", for some constant k that encodes your chosen meaning, is a perfectly valid Diophantine equation, and we already know that we can represent arbitrary mathematical statements using only equations of that form. The additional forms allowed by extending ourselves to arbitrary equations won't take anything away from that.

Google's gonna jump on it no matter if we like it or not. And if Google jumps on it and succeeds to make it popular all businesses will jump on it. And before you know it, Google owns HTML email (which will then be all AMP).

I understand your concerns but think about it: In 5 years time would you rather have emails that are as broken as today's web pages or emails that are as broken as today's web pages AND controlled by Google?
Software patents, yes. They never should have happened. Stallman was right etc. Other patents have very different behaviour and consequences. One of the worst things about "IP" law is that it causes people to bundle together vastly different concepts.

Sure there are. But you can overdo it, or outlive it.

The Bay Area's finest example of outliving it is Filoli. It's a estate off 280 near 92. More than one square mile, in Silicon Valley. At the end, it was occupied by one woman in her 90s, along with a large staff.

It is pretty horrible for latency. Despite T-Mobile's free international roaming (albeit at reduced speeds), I'll usually get a local SIM card if I'm in the country more than a week because the latency can make it unusable sometimes.

IIRC the carriers do this for billing/metering reasons; otherwise they wouldn't have any idea how much data you're using while roaming, and would have to blindly trust whatever the partner carrier tells them.
Note also the implicit assumption that Dorsey does this to pointlessly inflict suffering on himself.

Much, much more likely it's to give him thinking space outside the office (a.k.a. the place where deep thought goes to die).

I've often walked to work and back in my career, including in times when it's cold and slightly rainy. Typical walking commute: about an hour each way. I've done some of my best work during these walks. It had nothing to do with Stoicism or being some sort of Valley-esque "elite", it's simply too hard to spend time in an office staring in silence at the wall without being interrupted or feeling weird. Plus walking gets the blood moving through the brain.

Back to reality, there's no problem with all reasonable purposes to carry a knife, like after purchase or for cooking. There's no problem carrying a Swiss Army knife. The police aren't looking for knives like this, and if they do find one for some reason, they are very unlikely to arrest you.

If you've gone to a bar after your dinner party, and you're carrying the "cooking" knife somewhere accessible (like your pocket), that could be a problem for you.

Children in rough areas should interpret the rules less favourably.
Yes, but only our micromanaging bosses/leads. Real agile is certainly in quotes for a reason :) Nominally it’s agile because it lets you fit things into sprints and you’re doing the smallest possible thing with frequent comms, etc. In reality, having tiny little tickets makes for effective developer surveillance, and makes development into a nice mechanical assembly line with no surprises. Well, it doesn’t, of course, but it also conveniently makes all issues look like incompetent devs - how could they POSSIBLY mess up 1 day tasks!?

Enterprise agile!

Ok, sounds great :). Have patience with Krishnamurti, because he's very subtle. First time I read his book, The Awakening of Intelligence, I thought he was nice but rather empty in content, because I saw his message intellectually, which just the thing you shouldn't do.

I wonder how this differs by location. I grew up rural, and my childhood experience was wildly different from suburban and city kids.

I have to laugh at this. If one more teen tells me they don't want to leave the house or learn to drive, because they "don't need to"... I guess it's not their choice. They're infantilized by their parents so that they no longer want to leave and be independent. They just want to send pictures by phone. It's their parents fault, not society, or technology, and certainly not the choice of the children, because remember they've been infantilized! Poor things... the creek, a stick, and some friends, just aren't as interesting as they used to be. Sigh... if only we hadn't made him go camping or learn to ride a bike.
Every day, everything that comes out of EU is evil. The only effect of this is higher prices of cars and a paved way for more oppression of the ordinary citizen. Today, only new cars need to have new limiters; tomorrow they will criminalise driving a car with them disabled or broken; ultimately they will integrate it with eCall (remember when they mandated to put GPS+GSM in all new cars?) and police all drivers everywhere all the time.

Wait, the original claim was:

> Email is not part of the web

That's "email", not "emails". I understood that to mean email the concept / technology, not "emails" as in individual email resources.

By that reading, yes, email is on the web. You can link to a mailbox with the mailto: URI scheme.

If you read it as "Individual emails are not on the web" instead, then webmail seems to cover that.

When the application would be restarted, reading back the log would recreate the in memory data structures. I thought that it was cool, and that databases themselves could be that way instead of using the programming language data structures without a networked API.

That is literally how databases work. In Memory + WAL + Data Files on disk. You could, in theory, live without the Data Files and just a big WAL.

I would like them to be principled, and apply those principles consistently, worldwide. Kowtowing is really not the right metric. Some things that governments want to impose on a company are good, and some things are bad. So:

Should they allow stories disparaging the Thai king in Thailand [or anywhere]? Yes.

Should they allow speech that creates an immediate threat to a person the the US [or anywhere]? No.

Should they pay taxes? Yes. (This isn't about principles; this is just about following local financial laws where you operate.)

Should they prohibit child porn? Yes.

Should they allow Nazi stories in Germany [or anywhere]? I'm actually not sure where I personally stand on this, but I imagine people with decision-making ability at Apple may have a strong stance on this, and they should decide for themselves.

Note that all of this is a reflection of my sense of morality and ethics. I don't expect everyone to share it; obviously my sense of right and wrong has been heavily influenced by where and how I've grown up. But I would like Apple (and all companies, really) to take a consistent, principled stance based on the values they want to display as a company. And if that closes some markets to them, then so be it.
Well, I kinda agree, but in that case it should be easy for the defendant to find prior art that meets the elements of the claim or to modify their implementation to avoid the teak spoon. That they haven't makes me wonder if they find some novel utility in the teak spoon.
What an incredibly bad example. Many airlines already include a link for a one click checkin. They already induce people to checkin (southwest for sure) with boarding priority based on checkin time.

You’ve perfectly summed up AMP for email with a use case that’s already been solved by a simpler technology that nobody has complained about.
Making your own works fine, even if it's a simple "type these words". On HN I see enough articles about breaking reCAPTCHAs with (claimed) 90% accuracy and I know spammers also employ humans. You can't make the perfect CAPTCHA, but anything custom will almost certainly do. For smaller sites it's also perfectly fine to just include a few "are you humans?" type questions to which people should reply "yes" or some other obvious answer. Having to spend development effort just to flood you with messages is probably not worth it. You will still get the one-off message when the CAPTCHA was solved by a poor worker anyway.

My knowledge is a year or two out of date (haven't hosted forms in popular websites anymore), but it doesn't seem like this could have changed that rapidly. Bots don't suddenly understand English, and neural nets aren't much better or worse at word CAPTCHAs than picture CAPTCHAs. It's just that Google didn't need books anymore.

I do still host a bug report form on a smaller site, and that just filters <a href, and more recently, http://. If someone enters that, the site gives the helpful message that http is not allowed for spam reasons and they should use hxxp:// instead and that I'll understand what they meant. Haven't gotten any spam since I started including that.

The cases where reCAPTCHA is a good idea are really rare. Logins can be solved with exponential back-off, forms can use spam filters similar to email and a simple CAPTCHA to catch the vast majority. With reCAPTCHA, I often spend minutes solving the because Google has no other markers to go on (deleting cookies, localstorage). I used to not mind them when other people were all complaining about those word CAPTCHAs (I found them easy) but now reCAPTCHA just take your time instead of your reading skills and they're absolutely awful. It rewards not using privacy technologies in your browser and so a lot of laymen don't experience the issues. Please don't use reCAPTCHA if at all possible...

Except that most databases don't store their data in anything resembling "programming language data structures". You get tables, rows, and columns (or maybe a bit of JSON if you're lucky) instead of native integers, strings, lists, sets, and dictionaries.
You don't need to disable HTML for that. Thunderbird blocks remote content in HTML by default and only displays images embedded in the email.
