> A given page may only need a dozen kilobytes of CSS

I think you would be challenged to find a single page that needed that much; please give an example if you have one. Most single page articles I have tested use less than 5kb. codepen.com uses like 6 kb on load of a new pen. gmail.com completely loads with 5kb and doesn't load more.

> For example a news article might have a video player, audio player, image carousel, map, data tables, scroll away images, etc.

This is definitely a concern, but 50kb is high enough that you should be able to fit custom css for everything you mentioned. I think 10x what most single pages use is pretty reasonable, and certainly not "an absurdly small, arbitrary limit".

A significant portion of time is spent calculating styles from css so keeping it small is a real bonus to load times.

> AMP's approach is workable, but is at odds with how most sites and frameworks use CSS, and means the web framework and static resource build pipeline have to be redesigned around AMP constraints.

Pretty much every site I have looked at since my first comment besides Github loads less than 50kb (much of which is unused) anyway. If you are really hitting the 50kb limit, you probably need to redesign anyway for desktop so AMP should come mostly for free.
In a way yes, but isn't one of the "rules" that is has to be cached/re-served from Googles servers as well? That is a rather problematic one, especially wrt antitrust issues...

Liveness Analysis Helps Save Gigabytes of Memory Usage for AI Inference
Yes, indeed.

I've had depression for nineteen years, and because of it I have giant holes in my memory - I know that I went places and did things when I was growing up, but I have next to no memories of any of them. My short-term memory malfunctions a lot - I can go through an entire day, and have zero memories of it the next day. I suspect I'd lose a few more memories with ECT but, really, I would happily pay those memories for having a life where I could actually function.

The problem is that doesn't work to produce desired behavior. If you slap them for the wrong stuff then one of two things happens.

The first is they conclude they're going to get slapped no matter what and then do whatever they want and write off the penalties as unavoidable because better behavior doesn't actually avoid them anyway.

The second is they conclude that the only way to avoid the penalties is to grease the right palms, you induce them to figure out how to do that, and then they still do whatever they want because once you force them to corrupt your institutions in order to not be treated unfairly, those institutions no longer threaten them even when they misbehave.

The only scenario that leads to behavior improvements is the one where all the penalties are assigned justly and proportionally, to behavior that could reasonably be predicted ahead of time as prohibited.

All compensations are risk + skills adjusted (a technical term is expected return). With lower risk you must sacrifice possibility of higher reward and vice versa. This universal law is not broken by FANG or anyone else. FANG is not better risk adjusted and there is nothing special about their compensation.

If you are young and blessed with no dependencies, you should attempt exploiting higher risk domains. As you get older with more dependencies, you need to lower your risk tolerance. The technical term for this is exploration vs exploitation. The maximum payouts in many complex system requires some balance between two and sticking with just exploitation is often not the optimal policy when you look at life span as a whole.

You underestimate the ability of cultures to self-censor and convince free-thinkers to leave.

Plenty of people in North Korea are afraid to speak out, for fear their neighbors will rat them out. Same goes for speaking against royalty in public in Thailand.

That said, I do think the First Amendment was born out of practicality. Censoring speech, even in the internet age, is not a good growth strategy when your competitors censor less. People will do their best to get to the most free place.
Browsing the web using half of 1600 pixels in width is a surprising amount of pain in the ass, but perfect for CSS-free sites. It seems that designers tend to design for full screen, which I guess reflects their own workflow, but not at all mine as a programmer.

> We conducted a systematic review and aimed to answer the following clinical questions: What are the effects of treatments in mild to moderate and severe depression, and in treatment-resistant depression? Which interventions reduce relapse rates? We searched: Medline, Embase, The Cochrane Library, and other important databases up to June 2009 (Clinical Evidence reviews are updated periodically, please check our website for the most up-to-date version of this review). We included harms alerts from relevant organisations such as the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
RESULTS:

> We found 88 systematic reviews, RCTs, or observational studies that met our inclusion criteria. We performed a GRADE evaluation of the quality of evidence for interventions.

This meta analysis found that ECT was beneficial.

The point of ECT is not to act as a long lasting cure, it's to get someone out of a depressive episode so that they can engage in work to treat their depression - it's a life saving short term intervention that gives them time and space to do other work.

There have been studies showing most harassers of women are actually other women. I think it was for Twitter, and perhaps comments on The Guardian website, not sure about the details.

I don't know the total numbers for harassment in general. For example if more men than women would use a particular social network, men would likely be more often harassers. In total numbers, not proportions. But I am not sure you would win your bet.

I'm pretty sure men are more often the target of harassment than women. Would take that bet.

Edit: can't find the exact articles anymore (thanks for nothing, liberal Google), but here is for example one mentioning 50% of harassment women receive on Twitter is from other women: https://www.businessinsider.de/half-of-the-sexist-harassment...
I heard something related to this recently. The development of synthetic rubber meant we did not need to control regions with rubber plantation. This was mentioned in association with World War II. Another interesting point discussed was that in order to send secure communication by wire you had to control the land the wire traversed to prevent disruption of the communication. The invention of wireless communication meant that you only had to control the terminals of the communication.

You see the road is getting a bit more complicated, or congested, ahead and take over. Traffic too heavy for Tesla’s cautions lane changes or overtaking, you take over.

It's a really complex machine and it hasn't been designed to produce any electricity yet. So it's a fusion experiment and not a power plant. The hope is that this device leads to another one which might be able to sustain operation and produce electricity. But how much will that cost? Will one be able to mass produce such a machine at competitive costs? Will we see larger and smaller designs?
Windows 3.0 came out in 1990, whereas the Atari ST came out in 1985, so that story definitely doesn’t check out. Windows 1.0 came out in 1985 (though still much later than the ST) so maybe it was that?

> A social network at the end of the day is literally just that: a graph of people (nodes) with relationships (edges) between them.

Doesn't sound like a very useful definition. There are infinite meaningless graphs of people that fit your definition. E.g.: the graph were the relationship is "all of our grand-grand-parents have the same number of characters in their respective names". There you go: graph of people (nodes) with relationships (edges) between them.

I still write applications where I don't need modern frameworks like Vue/React at all. These apps follow traditional framework generating HTML, it makes so much sense to just add jQuery to enhance the user experience by sprinkling JS snippets.

I believe there is a use case of every technology. There are use cases where React/Vue makes sense, similarly, there are still use cases where jQuery can be useful.

I can serve content in miliseconds after the network request has been made. Near enough to appear instant to my users. I have caches too.

You can't help the network request if it has to be made when the user clicks but there is nothing stopping browsers from preloading my site and nothing stopping google from noting that my site could be preloaded when it crawls it. Limiting ranking influence to sites with the AMP structure is an option Google has decided to make and not an inherent restriction in the technologies at play.

The technology behind AMP is very cool mind you, I just find it being an exclusive ranking factor to be an unecessary pressure to use their technology when many other technologies could work just as well. Google is a major force in the way people make websites and they are being very heavy handed in this instance.
Your users likely already have jQuery in their browser cache, given it's loaded from one of the public CDNs.

One of the huge issue on HN is lack of good algorithms for ranking. Currently all posts suffer from insufficient initial exposure to receive enough votes and thus false negatives are extremely high on HN. Just go to new page right now, take a look at most recent posting and you will find that majority of good genuine posts would never make it beyond their initial single upvote. Very small subset gets re-posted few times and only randomly some will get attention. Unfortunately papers are probably the biggest victim so you could have as well have collected all the links, did kind-of-random sort and you might still get fairly decent results. The bottom line is that never rely on HN's flawed ranking. Use that as weak signal, combine with Reddit, citations, tweet counts etc if you want to work around vast sea of false negatives that HN currently is.
Whatever the Amazon company policy is, Amazon can't legally demand workers not to report crimes to authorities. No amount of NDA or legalese makes that possible. If the workers suspect that there is violent crime going on, especially if children are harmed, they should report it to authorities, no matter what the corporate policy is.

It seems that workers are willing to sing-off their basic humanity and dignity to corporate authorities just like they did in Milgram experiments.

If Amazon does not want to get involved, they should not get involved by listening.

Some of us don’t pay VAT on business purchases either.

It’s customary in US, and evil genius in EU, where consumer prices must be shown with VAT. It hides the tax (surprisingly many people, even those you would expect to be financially literate, aren’t aware of the sheer amount of it - see any online bitching about Apple’s EU prices).

And that’s how you end up with 19-25% taxation of everything you buy in EU. US sales tax is acutely visible every time you buy something, it’s much harder to increase it, politically.

In 2019, the platform and precedent of paying reparations sounds like it's going to be a disaster. There's just too many instances to account for to prevent good intentions from turning into public chaos (especially with social media).

For example, there are:

- Non-black people that have DNA relations to slaves

- Uncertain and anecdotal family histories

- No easy records of verification

- People of other races that were enslaved at some point in the US

Further, at what point do the reparations end, once the door is opened? Do Native Americans get reparations for having their land taken and tribes killed? What about Japanese that were subjected to internment camps in WWII? Or Mexican bracero farm workers in the 1930s? What about foreign nationals that worked in banana republic for US companies like United Fruit?

The main thing is once money is thrown into the equation, everyone is going to come looking for their share to benefit from it.

There is a reason why companies cannot just lower employee's salary and hire more people instead of pushing people to work more time: that is, once you give people these option, people will go to choose to work for companies with higher pay and more overtime. That's a choice. There is a reason your salary is a lot higher than any other people, and there is a reason it is a developing country.
