I find the level of hate for AMP to be about on par with the hate for Comic Sans circa 2005.

It's at the stage that you meet people who love to hate it without even knowing why that hate it, that it is almost fashionable to hate it. Then those that do have a reason to hate it, always have their own reason. With no consensus reason for hating it. Though I'm noticing an increase of "Google" being the reason they give.

But then people love to hate, back when IBM was top dog - people loved to hate them, then Microsoft, and today, well today Google seems to get more hate than Microsoft these days. That's not saying Google did anything wrong, or Microsoft did anything right. If anything, people love to hate whoever is sitting at the top and today in the public's eye - that's Google. Not saying they are right, or wrong.

But clearly - the people's level of hate does seem to correlate with any large company attaining a overly dominant position. Just kinda fascinating to see the same patterns play out over time.
I've read about this before, and I think it's true. But has the phenomenon been examined in context? By that I mean: let's say someone becomes wealthy or powerful, and they are known to be wealthy or powerful. The nature of their position allocating resources means that others (not every one, but a significant number) seek to instrumentalize them; i.e. try to get the resources flowing in their direction. I wonder what portion of the decrease in empathy is a response to instrumentalization.

Google is looking for alternative channels to sell ads through. Adding more complicated media to email increases the type of ads that can be sold. It won’t be right away, but it’s coming.

As their users spend more time with voice assistants and less with search result pages, Google needs to make up for those losses somewhere else. If they don’t, their revenue growth will end or invert, the stock price will drop, and the amount of money they can pay all of their employees will significantly decline.

For all of the messaging platforms Google tried to build and messed up, it is a real possiblilty that Google could end up killing Gmail through management screw ups.
The mathematician Edmund Landau said (translation from German): Number theory is useful, since one can graduate with it.

(from his Foreword to Vorlesungen über Zahlentheorie (Lectures on Number Theory) (1927).)

As difficult as it's been to get people to look for the correct URL in the address bar of a browser, a good number of people are (relatively) aware of basic steps to ensure they are not being phished. Not clicking on links in emails, and going to the sites directly is a common strategy.

By default, most email clients hide the header information needed to determine whether or not an email came from the address it claims to, including Gmail. I suspect we're going to see a lot of phishing emails that ask you to input sensitive data right into your email.
Those "advantages" are very weak, at best.
Often times you wind up needing to change the entire algorithm to use different instructions with different latency/throughput numbers. The classic case off the top of my head (for Intel at least) is PCMPESTRI versus completely different approaches for substring search.
I thought Intel technology is considered trade secret, how is the customer supposed to know?

VirtualBox bootable .iso would be nice.

Especially since I thought of trying it out and followed Fuchsia instructions[0] only to run into exactly same problem building it that others have reported >3 months back[1].

Also, instructions to download and install jiri with curl under Fuchsia docs don't work either[2] and curl returns '404 not found' instead. Got around this using instructions here [3] only to fail soon after as per above.

Some Excellent Ways to Optimize the Use of Instagram for Business
The problem with this thinking is that you’re assuming that the founders are taking all the risk. They’re not.

Series As implode all the time, as do Bs. In the end the equity is worth nothing. If you’re lucky, you might walk away with it being almost a wash compared to taking a job at an established public company.

I think of the startup I was recently pitched. Two non-technical founders said they raised some money, and now needed to hire people to actually do the actual thing they promised they could do. These founders, brought nothing to the table beyond an idea, and not even an original idea, since I actually know three different startups already in that exact space that have an actual product and customers.

I laughed at him. Why should anyone join him? I’m taking as much risk as him, providing more value, and then get a tiny fraction of the equity? It’s basically a scam, because they’re not providing anything of value, and yet they’re the only ones that are going to walk away with anything after the inevitable aquihire.
If I'm not mistaken, Qualcomm usually licenses with the handset maker, and not necessarily with the component companies in the case of mobile phones?

My understanding was that Qualcomm is going after Apple because they think Apple is sort of the principal infringer, i.e. they gave Intel access to the infringing IP. But I don't know, maybe they just pursuit all parties in the name of thoroughness.
Isn't there some constitutional safeguard against punishment without trial/crime? Someone more knowledgeable please chime in.

Does this have a value proposition over a standalone manager like Bitwarden? Saying this as an avowed firefox user and fan.

I long ago abandoned browser password managers due to awful security practices like storing passwords in plaintext in my browser profile. Bitwarden is full of features and works everywhere, too.
That's not exactly spliting up the UK.
Oh but that’s my point, that it’s almost entirely a political issue, not a psychological one. Trigger warnings are used to strengthen victimhood culture, not to shield people from suffering.

As to their effectiveness, unless everything has trigger warnings it’s not going to do much difference, people will still be exposed to the things that traumatise them. I’m not sure that’s a bad thing, you need to get used to living in the world sooner or later.
Associating Your Own Personal Brand with Quality
This architecture sounds like one I would want to use for all of my personal computing devices. I believe this because I did a bunch of experimental hacking three years ago with the objective of designing an operating system with usability and security characteristics that would suit me better than Linux or Android currently do. I didn't make a huge amount of progress toward a working system (you can see what I did here: https://github.com/marssaxman/fleet), but I spent a lot of time reading and thinking as I tinkered. The people working on Fuchsia have clearly thought deeply in similar directions, gone a lot further in the work, and resolved a lot of the uncertainties I encountered.

I won't let Google manage my data for me, but if they can keep their fingers out of the pie I would gladly use a Fuchsia-based system as described here for my laptop, phone, and home desktop.
The more interesting skills someone learns when implementing Heroku is when they learn it doesn't scale and the challenges in migrating off of it.

My first reaction was "this just sounds like Mesos?". And it's cited in their page (which on first read I thought meant they were trying to act as a single pane of glass for Mesos/k8s/etc.):

https://eng.uber.com/peloton/

In the OP blog post though, they assert "to our knowledge, there is no other open source scheduler which combines all types of workloads for web-scale companies like Uber."

And then, when you dig...it's just Mesos. They built a framework for Mesos. So, that's cool. But man, the puff piecery borders on dishonesty. I mean--Singularity has existed, and is implemented at very large scales, for a while. I'm sure Peloton is a fine scheduler, but there's a lot of huffing-one's-own-farts in the documentation here.
I remember project reality, a bf2 mod used mumble positional audio it was very cool.

I didn't even open the BBC article in the first place but only the HN discussion. The bbc.com domain has joined my list of websites that are not worth visiting. Basically junk.
Lawyers? There's no one firm on the same scale as big telcos, but as a group "lawyers" are pretty low on the public-image-for-major-job.
I guess people can be blacklisted. Google, Microsoft, and a bunch of others have blacklists from which they harass people and the banks I guess can refuse to process individual's transactions in their version of an orwellian wet dream but they threaten the company's integrity when they do that many times over.

"O there just been a mistake at the bank" goes to "they are racially profiling me" very quickly. These very same programs target political activists.

Also it doesn't help that there are decentralized alternative popping up everywhere. If monero(crypto coin) ever became mainstream, the world would be a very different place.
It is the bizarre legal doctrine in that country that pretty much blesses patent owners doing that with the exact goal of enhancing patent owner earnings, and disruptive power.
> it seems worth looking at how certain intellectual trends propagate through certain SV populations.

Please keep in mind the SV populations sensationalized in articles such as this represent maybe 1-2% of the people in SV. Everyone else is simply trying to support their families and raise their kids the best they know how - pretty much exactly what the rest of America does.
1/3. Eh. Now they know what to work around.
Not going to happen. Satellite ISPs are crippled by a couple of largely insurmountable technical limitations:

1. Latency. 600-700 ms RTT is typical on satellite, and it's bounded by the speed of light. This makes a lot of real-time services, like voice chat and video games, essentially unusable.

2. Bandwidth. The satellites you're communicating with have a limited capacity, and provisioning more capacity is nontrivial. As a result, most satellite services have very low data caps, typically 10 - 100 GB/month.

3. Physical concerns. Satellite connectivity requires an antenna with a clear view of the equatorial sky (e.g. south for northern hemisphere). This is often unavailable in cities, apartments, or hilly areas -- if there's a tall building or a mountain between you and the satellite, you can't use their service.
More of a principle thing. SSL is easy to enable and the whole web should be encrypted. I fully support all the major browsers' decision to warn users about sites that aren't https (even without login). It doesn't feel like there's a good excuse to not have https enabled.
Lots of corps use discord, but at an alliance level you'll often end up with mumble for comms. Another 'dead' open source software that's used is Jabber (XMPP) for 'pings' aka broadcasts to tell people there's a fleet up.
Seems at odds with the stereotype of SV companies having to court their employees with an endless supply free food and cushy perks.

Why do you get the feeling that the author doesn't like these people, or that it is scorn? You are reading into an observational piece more than it seems to actually convey.

Regarding the meaning of Stoicism, I would argue that your definition is no closer than the one given in this flippant conversational piece article. Diogenes is one of the most famous Stoics and was known to live without almost anything: He was influential and capable, but intentionally eschewed almost everything, living in a drain pipe and drinking from his hands. He forced "suffering" upon himself, as in many of the examples given. Intentionally pursuing suffering, or creating need, is a principal element of virtually every interpretation of Stoicism, rather than some AAA-sort of acceptance of what you cannot change.

And I totally subscribe to that philosophy (the convenient subset of Stoicism, which much like Buddhism we tend to pick and choose from), as an aside. Our psychological unpinnings make existence suffering, in a sense, because it will always tune to the baseline being mediocre. Intermix suffering, however, and suddenly the ordinary becomes extraordinary. Being cold and uncomfortable makes sitting by a fire and drinking a hot drink magical. Periods of fasting can make a meal, any meal, the best, most enjoyable meal you've ever had. Etc.

I feel less bad about myself after reading all these comments. I also only enjoy 1-3 hours of work per day. I thought that was burnout, but apparently, its the norm.
Because the bank wants assurance that you’re not going to go bankrupt or just not pay it back, and reliably paying off your credit card is a proxy for that.

Whereas you taking a high speed train is not a risk, so blocking that is just punishment.
At the same time Taiwan is so small that any invasion would destroy anything of value. It is so dense, urban, forested, and mountainous that it would combine the worst parts of combat in Syria and Vietnam.
First and foremost, I recommend everyone own their email address. That means getting a domain name. I switched from using a gmail.com address to an address at my own domain (I use inbox at mydomainname.com as my main address) over a period of about a year and a half, where my new email address was forwarded to Gmail, but I regularly updated various accounts to use my new address.

Then, when I changed the redirect to point to a new service (FastMail), most of my email came with immediately. There's some secondary advantages to this. Not only can you switch providers at the drop of a hat, but you can control your address even if you get banned or blocked by the email provider.

If you have, say, a gmail.com address, and your Gmail account gets terminated, you may lose access to all of your other accounts across the Internet as well, since you won't be able to access the email they're connected to. But if you own the domain, and it's forwarded to gmail.com, you can redirect the domain to another email provider, and send a new reset email to regain access to your other accounts.
The book by Irvine mentioned in the article is also pretty good, but it's pretty clear the author didn't read it since it then proceeds with a complete mischaracterization of what Stoicism is about.
Even better: upload to a blockchain. Let them try to get it out of the bitcoin blockchain :-P
I have always found it somewhat questionable to use a service like outline for paid content... I am very much against DRM services, but DRM-free advocacy efforts are hampered by people flocking to services like outline instead of paying for the content they want to consume (and content creators are pushed to embrace consumer-hostile DRM measures as well).
Violence is about violation.
I doubt China will actively invade Taiwan. It goes against the soft power mentality they usually prefer. More than likely, Taiwan will be compromised by Chinese companies, power and influence and its democracy corrupted from within. There's also a strong pro-China and pro-unification movement.
> They do, actually! Source: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/03/21/what-do-p...

> Presumably a system that promotes good behavior is well liked by people who haven't run afoul of it. And of course, via censorship practices, a very small percentage of Chinese citizens are aware of a lot of reasons they should be concerned about their government.

For that reason, I think it's important to take such public-opinion data with a grain of salt. You have to wait until people have enough direct contact with the system in question so they can form an informed opinion of it.
They have a subscription model (Reddit gold style) and also sell games.
`useReducer` is the most powerful core building block for state management in React 16.8, but its API is more complicated than it needs to be. `use-state-methods` offers a simpler alternative with no loss of expressiveness. Think in terms of "methods" which either mutate state or return a new state. No dispatching actions, no giant switch statements to handle them, and with free callback memoization.
As somebody that has this specific discussion regularly, I find that framing it as a group has helped in circumstances similar to yours. Framing it this way to your family and the health care team may help.

“This decision is so difficult, let us share this burden with you. If we have to make a decision to remove life support, you shouldn’t have to make that decision alone. If we decide the massive costs of long term life support which may drain the estate, we should make that decision together.

Dad would trust that we as a family would come together and make these tough decisions together.”

People go through various stages of mourning so sometime just time helps.

Remember that the family’s job is to be your Dad’s voice. What would he want?

Events like this bring out the worst in everybody. These are just a few strategies that have worked for me in the past. Good luck.
As I've been reminded countless times, "driving is a privilege not a right". You can lose your license for all kinds of 'unfair' reasons that do not make sense, and I agree it's heavy handed to include student loan debt, but until it is Federally acknowledged that all citizens have a right to drive (after passing proper license tests), then this downward progression will continue.

In California you can't even register your vehicle if you're behind on your child support payments. (I need my job to make payments. I can't get to my job without my car.)

Teamspeak does it too, but it scales a lot less.

Discord only allows you to be a membere of one channel at a time.

It is not an uncommon set-up for fleets to have the important people have their own channel talking about secret stuff and another one for the rest of the fleet.

Then the ones from the secret channel have two buttons set up, one to talk just to them and one to talk with the entire fleet.
Start ups are a lottery. A few hit it big while most don't. Even then, the owners make the real gains while employees are typically rounding errors.

The best advice I have for startups is to try it early in your career to see if it's for you. The number of older folks I've seen who jumped to a startup and lived to regret it is almost 100%
Off the top of my head: the cubes of 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 mod 9 are 0,1,-1,0,1,-1,1,-1.

The sums of three of these, mod 9, are 0, 1, 2, 3, -1, -2, -3 or 0, 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, so the sum of 3 cubes can not be 4 or 5 mod 9.

It's just way easier to rack up calories if the thing you're eating is higher in fats. Remember that fats have no fiber (neither does protein, but that's another conversation), so you won't 'feel' as full, which can easily lead to a much higher calorie ingestion rate that you're body won't be able to keep up with.

Another big thing is portion control! You hit on the nose with eating too much of everything. Something else I've done is making myself smaller plates, but also taking much smaller bites and taking a much longer time to finish the plate. I make it take as long as possible. That way by the end of the plate I have a more accurate sense of how hungry I still am or not.

It's tough to summarize all of points of my current regimen since I've pulled bits and pieces from lots of different sources and put some personal experience into the mix.
In large eve fleets, it's not a chattering mob, you couldn't run things if it's like that. Things are normally quite terse with a small number of people, scouts, FCs, logi talking while most people get on with the important business of pressing F1.
One of my favorite features that Mumble has that Discord doesn't is the ability to suppress a keypress you're using for push-to-talk. For example, I use Caps Lock for my PTT, as it is right there and not used in most games anyways. With Mumble Caps Lock will not toggle at all with that option, allowing me to type or do other things fine.
This whole stupidity started when google refused to pay european newspapers for their articles showing up in google news.

Google could have stopped all this be immediately kicking off all european newspapers from every google service they have and reinstating them only after they fill out and submit the form that they allow google to use their stuff without any pay.

Instead google only threatened to do this and european newspapers thought they have some power.

The only power they have is making and breaking european politicians, hence current mess.
Even rappers realize this.

My only ops code is a thin wrapper over the secrets manager API, that converts from a secret to something Django orm or sqlalchemy can use to connect.

My pain point is db migrations, from version X to version Y. My bad to pick Django for our internal tooling web app and go with its orm. Fairly confident that I can change that to sqlalchemy easy, if I get the time for it.
