This is dangerously naive with respect to how marketing works in the era of social media. Questions you should be asking yourself... Who controls the influential twitter account or blog? Do they make money from it either by posting sponsored content or do they run ads? Could someone who controls a botnet or clickfarm manipulate them by either granting or withholding likes, traffic, and clicks?
Yes, this is an instance where the giant email providers could simply have agreed among themselves not to allow SMTP TLS MITM attackers, and then left everyone to fend for themselves.
This view is pretentious and hypocritical. Let’s imagine that you’re a typical HN-er and you have a nice MacBook Pro or have taken a nice vacation or gone to Burning Man or whatever. For that same amount of money, you could have changed the life of a child in Bangladesh. Why didn’t you? Because you are a bad person, and you chose frivolities for yourself over necessities for someone far from you. Maybe if you read the news about what’s happening in Bangladesh you would have decided differently. But do you have a moral obligation to do that?

These notices are not enforceable. See the 2017 transparency report here: https://www.europol.europa.eu/sites/default/files/documents/...

(Page 4, Point 3.1: Referrals)

Quote: A referral activity (meaning the reporting of terrorist and extremist online content to the concerned OSP) does not constitute an enforceable act. Thus, the decision and removal of the referred terrorist and extremist online content is taken by the concerned service provider under their own responsibility and accountability (in reference to their Terms and Conditions).
This is largely because metering is a precursor to network neutrality violations.

The vast majority of an ISP's costs are independent of usage. The actual incremental bandwidth cost is below $1/TB of transfer and is constantly declining. And if that's what they were charging, probably nobody would care. But if that's what they were charging then they would probably make less doing the charging than it costs to do the accounting. Also, customers hate metering in general and will happily pay $5/month extra to not have to worry about it even when their actual metered bill would only have averaged $1/month extra, which across all customers more than pays for that one guy who pays the extra $5/month and then uses $100 worth.

But that isn't why metering is imposed, and those aren't the prices charged. Because the point of metering is to exempt things from it, as a way to favor those things. If you have to pay $10/GB of transfer for Netflix but not for cable TV, advantage cable TV. If it wasn't for that, metering wouldn't be used on wired connections.
> Only AMP can be guaranteed safe to preload through static analysis

This isn't how static analysis works. Yes, the halting problem says you can't determine safety of any possible input in a Turing-complete language, and yes, JS is Turing-complete. But it doesn't say you can't determine safety of some inputs. You can write an algorithm that outputs "Yes," "No," and "I don't know" just fine. Google can, if they desire, specify some rules / annotations that would help its analyzer answer "Yes" to more pages. They've chosen not to do that, and instead to only build an analyzer for AMP.

Besides, preloading pages is about fetching content, not rendering them, I think.
Not sure why it isn’t mentioned more, but the main selling point is safety. A tesla’s weight distribution is safer than any ICE could possibly be.
The parent comment talked about a flat percentage tax. So the people with more money would not be paying the "same tax". They would still be paying a lot more. A truly fair tax would have everyone paying the same flat fee for the same public services rendered.

From my experience, anything SSO-related has a steep learning curve in wrapping your head around IDP, SP, metadata, IDP-initiated vs. SP-initiated... there's a whole lexicon that isn't very intuitive. Ask me to set it up a year ago and I would have described it as "a ton of work and very complicated". Eventually it stuck, though :)

Strong disagree with the black and whiteness of this. Ignoring all news and politics, full stop, is less a privileged and more an ignorant position to take.

But I'd argue the worst position is one of non-stop media bingeing without action. In fact, I'd say the only way to act reliably or with clear intention is to not binge on media, to not stay in the zone of manufactured outrage. But instead to keep sanely abreast of what's happening and engage only when meaningful action can be had.

You are baffled that they reacted this way, that you became the villain? It's hard sometimes, but I've found it helpful to try to perceive both myself and the digital obstacles from the shoes of users I'm trying to help (calibrating more as I proceed), and adjust myself accordingly.

Affording someone the ability to save face is among the reasons to consider making a private approach. And when irritated, slighted or indignant, when amped up somehow, not disengaging to cool down is the sort of thing I tend to regret.

> While IPv6 and DNSSEC are more complex than some alternatives

I'm not sure what you are getting at. IPv6 is pretty similar to IPv4 - and in some ways simpler - and I'm not aware of any other alternative. And I don't really see how DNSSEC (or IPv6) relates to anything else you are talking about - DoH addresses a different use case.
Multiple radio telescopes right? Then the data was compiled and rendered into an image, you really think it's that bright? How about orange? I wonder why it's not symmetrical? I suppose you can take multiple images combine them into one, run it through a bunch of filters and call it a photo but I still think it's more of a rendering than a photo.
> "DNS is insecure and we don't want to fix that problem"

This isn't an accurate description of the anti-DNSSEC worldview. It's "DNS is untrusted, this is not a problem, and we want to keep it that way." If you're going to argue against it I think you need to portray the opposing side accurately.

Isn't that exactly what AMP is? Whatever "rules" Google specifies will in fact, define a DSL/subset of HTML that can efficiently answer "yes". As people demand more and more capability in this ruleset, eventually you'll end up with something like AMP, only the syntax will be slightly different, but the fact that it is a weird subset of HTML will remain.

It isn’t, though, because of the marginal utility of money. Someone making $10k/yr sees much more value from an extra $10k than someone making $10M. For one it’s a lifeline and for one a rounding error. While a flat tax is fair in numbers it’s not fair in marginal value or utility. IMO that’s a much bigger deal. There are other macroeconomic advantages to giving the little guy the extra, though I don’t want to repeat myself so I’ll keep that in my sister reply.

FWIW we’ve already got regressive taxes in the form of payroll tax, which kick in from $0 and cap out once you earn enough. So unless you’re unemployed, you’ve paid taxes even if your marginal income tax rate is 0%.

Negative. People who support net neutrality do not know what net neutrality really is.

Net neutrality is a push by the big corporations to avoid having to pay for the pipeline they use. Google, Netflix, and the like that use huge amounts of bandwidth. You are witnessing rent seeking 101, the corporations on one side are trying to get regulations to help themselves.

I found when I disconnected from the news and politic in my own country that the people around me didn't really have well developed retention of the new's they where talking about. For example, news event A occurs on day, and everyone in the office talks about A, and how it made them feel. Then news event B occurs the next day, and there doesn't seem to be any cognitive awareness how A connects to B, instead A is forgotten and everyone emotes about B.

I've had to use the analogy to people how weird it appears. It's like everyone talks about a blue cat one day, and the next day talk about a red cat. Everywhere you go everyone talks about the same colored cat's.
It's actually not that hard:

The formula:

2 dl - delete two characters right

dw - delete a word

yb - copy back a word

y/foo - copy to the search foo

4cw - change the next four words

actions: yank(copy, delete, change)

movements: /(search), t(til character), f(to character), many many others (l, h, j, k, *, #, T, F)

Combine as you see fit.

Companies that use large amounts of bandwidth pay for all of it. They pay the full cost of bringing that traffic to a peering exchange. Comcast isn't going to pick it up for free from Google Headquarters.

Carrying the traffic from the peering exchange to the end customer is what the end customer is paying the ISP for. Charging for that again is double dipping, using the leverage created by the last mile monopoly to charge for what has already been paid for.

Vim is a fantastic text editor, but it is not an IDE replacement. Here's just a few IntelliJ features I use daily that Vim doesn't have: Go to declaration, find usages, rename method/class, change method signature, auto-import, shortcut to override method, easy-to-configure style rules, really good code completion, quick access to javadoc.

I could keep going. Again, not hating on Vim. I use Vim keybindings in IntelliJ! I just don't think it's the best tool for working in large codebases.
The supplements have vastly improved the situation. There is no denying that.

> And I know devs that swear by vi...they are developing any faster than I am

I hear about this from time to time, but have never seen it people do it successfully first hand, what I do see is silly mistakes in their checkins; incomplete variable renames, formatting is off, syntax errors, switching between browsers and their code while looking at manuals, or other obvious mistakes that can be caught inline by IDEs while you type.
IntelliJ with the IdeaVim plugin is my goto editor nowadays. As others have said, I honestly don't find myself using the really fancy features of vim that often. What I do use frequently are basic motions together with yanking, deletions, word movement (w/e/b), marks, indents, centering (zz), page scrolls (ctrl+u/d), and using searches (f and /) to jump around in code quickly.

For those purposes, IdeaVim works just fine, and gives me all the little speed boosts of vim with the added bonus of (in my opinion) a much more robust coding environment. It even makes some functions better; for example, `gd` works super well and nearly instantly in IntelliJ since the definitions are supplied by the IDE's 'Go To Declaration' rather than some hacky vim plugin. Other editors have similarly sufficient vim plugins, e.g. VSCodeVim.

And this is precisely why we can never consider nuclear power to be “safe”.

It’s just not worth the risk exposure. The worst case failure modes must be expected to occur, and they must be economically and ecologically acceptable when they do.

The idea that “this can theoretically happen but we promise it won’t” is simply not acceptable. Versus, “this is extremely unlikely to occur because of these numerous counter-measures, but when it does here’s what we do and what it will cost us.”

If you can do the later analysis on a nuclear plant and come away satisfied, then build baby build.

Not a geneticist, but there is considerable genetic distance between various human populations due to pretty significant temporal separation between the populations of Sub-Saharan Africa, Eurasia, the Americas, and Oceania.

https://jaymans.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/global-genetic-d...

There are also various degrees of admixture from other human species (Neanderthals, Denisovans, something similar to H. naledii) in different human populations which also contributes to our genetic diversity.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b8/Ho...

Some argue that these factors and others would suggest classification of humans as multiple subspecies, if not separate species. It should also be noted that the well-known definition of a species as "organisms that can mate to produce fertile offspring" is not the standard for all geni and families.
