I think independent consumer reviews are a very valuable service to the (shopping) community and, yup, to humanity. It seems contradictory to collate "shopping" and "community", but in general people do spend a lot of time and, duh, money shopping to improve their lives.

Counting on peers to help you shop, what you shop for, how safe and reliable the product is ("Could this toy hurt my kid?", "Is this tattoo remover safe?") are not to be taken lightly.

Online product/services reviews are a huge milestone on how we interact with the world around us. It even causes me anxiety to try a restaurant without having checked it online for reviews... Any effort on how we can better correlate opinion and experience is not just helping "billionaires" here. It's helping everyone who want some feedback to help cut through flaky, moronic marketing that we are bombarded with on a daily basis.

That is intentional - it's a regular column about social media:

"The Interface is a daily column about the intersection of social media and democracy. Subscribe to the newsletter here."

The headline is the leading story and the final paragraph before "Democracy" brings the story to a close.
What is definitively a societal failing to you is a personal moral failing to others. I don't think it helps anybody to state these things in absolutes, especially when opinions tend to vary greatly, and I was more interested in provoking discussion about the topic as opposed to making any sort of moral judgment.

AOC Quit Facebook. The Media Bungled the Story
I think you're conflating 2 things.

User do want AMP-like technologies. I want the browser to restrict the publishers as much as possible (while keeping their sites "useful" for some definition of the word - static markup such as text, images and some background/styling is definitely useful) - I actively do that by preventing them from auto-playing videos, using adblocking, etc.

However, Google-controlled AMP is a travesty. I don't want to view websites on Google. I want the original URLs, I want to be able to bookmark it and share it, I want to be able to go to the non-mobile website etc.

Keep AMP, banish Google.

For people with withdrawal symptoms and dependency "illegal drugs" are medicine just like any other legal drug. The biggest problem with illegal drugs is the lack of proper dosage and access to clean drugs without contaminants (codeword for brick dust) from street dealers who wouldn't mind ruining the health of their customers for a quick profit. If you let doctors give these people what they need in a safe manner it is possible to reduce most of the downsides of illegal drugs.

Imprisonment just fuels the pockets of drug dealers and gives organized crime a profit motive. Ever wondered why terrorism is so rare but organized crime is so common? Because terrorism isn't profitable.
> it already only tells you who published the content

No, it tells you the origin of the document. If you are the creator, and you choose to put your content on server X it will tell you "I've got this from server X". Whether that server is a reverse proxy or a shared webhost or a dedicated server in a DC or a raspberry pi running on your desk doesn't matter - it's the designated original that you, the owner of example.org chose.

That's what it always meant, and it changes when you do a redirect, and it shows you the current URL even if there is a canonical header of http-equiv. I can put a reverse proxy on my host and proxy example.com to example.org - the address bar tells you that you're reading example.com, not example.org, as it should, because you're connected to me, not to example.org.

They have been trying to make it so that users can't tell if they are on real webpages or AMP pages, and it looks like they finally implemented it. AMP is about Google, tracking, and ads, not page speed, even if they have convinced many of their engineers that it's about page speed.
> What is a common workaround there?

Ignoring the issue altogether :) Or, if you're pedantic - implementing the special cases in the source code. But that's unmaintenable if you have lots of languages.

I am pushing back on the implication that people who are in the act of shooting up are uniquely dangerous people who need to be kept out of the bathroom. I could easily believe that, as a group, IV drug users are more likely to commit violent crimes out of desperation than the average citizen, but there are plenty of other people like this, including people who are just very poor.

the most ridiculous part is that you can fix this by not letting them shoot up in the bathroom. even if they can't do drugs in there, they still have to pee sometimes, and then your mother/girlfriend is in there with a Dangerous Drug User again.

It only works in Chrome. The Web has now been split in two, and you now have to use Google Chrome to be on the faster version. Google is shamefully abusing its power in several places here.
I can’t believe there is no way to opt out of AMP as the end user. The UX is so terrible. Often times I will search for something and have a Reddit result come back. When I tap the link, I get the AMP page which:

* does not show all comments, often ones I am actually looking for

* does not let me collapse comment sections

* uses the default white background theme which burns my retinas if I am looking at my phone in a dark environment

* shows overlay ads for the Reddit app that cover about 40% of the screen for no goddamn reason

* requires 2-3 separate actions to get to the original page

Yet I cannot find a browser extension or setting to tell AMP to fuck off. Honestly AMP might be what finally gets me to switch search engines after many years of using Google.
> Want to lambaste the rich? You and Buffett both. Make fun of racist white people? Who doesn't? Healthcare is a mess? A long line of CEOs parrot that line, too.

These are popular positions (at least in the US) only among the Left.

The Republican party - including its poorest members - lauds the most greedy billionaires as "job creators" and the pinnacle of achievement for Americans.

Conservatives believe that straight, Christian whites are just as discriminated against - if not more so - than racial, religious, or gender/sexual minorities.

Republicans decry almost any attempt to provide affordable health care to the American masses as "socialism."

The positions you describe are most definitely "against the grain" for half of the US. And they are important positions to take, for the future health and wealth of the country. And I'm not sure why you're focusing on the difficulty/popularity of espousing certain positions on social issues, rather than the correctness of the positions taken.

It's much worse than that. We are facing existential issues and need a collective, collaborative effort to solve them on a sustainable basis.

It's not going to happen. This isn't one of those "if we can rally all our scientists and engineers" things like APOLLO or MANHATTAN.

For example, how are we even going to tell millions of sailors to stop ocean-based plastic pollution [1]? Are Navy ships, heavy polluters themselves, going to enforce those rules? Are we trusting Chinese fishermen to adhere to new environmental protection laws?

That's one part of a small part of a part of the problem that is climate change and ecosystem destruction....

The rise and fall of Flash – a history
Thanks, this was very informative. I'm not a fan of AMP at all, but this helps me understand the reasoning a little bit better and why Google hosting the AMP cache is necessary for preserving privacy.

At its root, I think my objections to AMP boil down to a few things:

On a technical level:

1. It's buggy and weird on iOS.

2. I'm not convinced I care about a few seconds of loading time enough to justify the added complexity of making this kind of prefetching possible. Additionally, this seems like a stop-gap that will be rendered unnecessary by increasingly wide pipes for data.

On a philosophical level:

3. It gives Google way too much power over content.

4. I want the option to turn it off completely because of points [1] and [3], and because I fundamentally want to feel in control of my internet experience.

Edit: The point about SXG making AMP URLs less likely to get copy/pasted to other mediums is a key benefit I hadn't considered and will likely make avoiding AMP outside of Google search easier.

This horrible domain shell-game is really annoying if you have to manage a DNS filter of any kind.
I'm pretty sure Chrome has different behavior with Dev Tools open and Dev Tools closed, and also with what it does with code posted in the console and code run as part of the page.

So just because it is not throttled when run in the console doesnt necessary imply it wont throttle as part of a regular page as well.
You won't see AMP if you switch search engines.
This will indeed be a problem. Many old devices still run fine; outside of a password submission page, is https really worth the hundreds of dollars it would cost to replace my devices? I really don't know why people feel the need to get latest Android; outside of security, it's just gimmicks.
I mean if you mean ARPAnet then yeah. The web was always a place for creative people to meet and talk about the eccentric stuff they were into.
you don't have to visit a school to apply. I didn't bother visiting most of my safety schools. also most of the schools I applied to either didn't do interviews or they were informational only (ie, they are only considered as an additional signal of interest).
So, SF is not a clean, beautiful, and safe city, considering that the part of it with all the interesting stuff also happens to be drowning in a putrid combination of feces and needles.

It's just like saying that Earth is a lovely place, as long as you avoid breathing the atmosphere and drinking any of the water. Look at the forests! Hope your spacesuit's faceplate doesn't become pitted by the acid rain.
Your wording makes me cringe. People don't have "freedom" to use or have access to things in the sense you are suggesting. Its not a fundamental right to have and use Oil. In its extreme you are basically asking people to suffer today so that maybe some future people might not suffer. It is completely unattainable because the future is always in the future -- and largely unknown. So people will have to continue to suffer and make sacrifices because of the near unlimited "future people".

I can't remember the source, but I think it was a fairly well known economist. He has the position that prices for things always go up, so in effect using Oil now will always be cheaper than using oil in the future.
In this case the misspelling is actually the correct one. HN has shortened the link in GPs post but if you follow it you'll see it spelled "Muphry's law", and it is a separate one from the general one that everyone knows about.

You must be the guy behind Google's product diversity strategy.
Presumably, except at the boundary conditions, an increase in the number of applications per student comes with a corresponding decrease in the percentage of accepted applications that result in a student actually showing up to the university— in the end every student still picks only one to actually attend. These should mostly cancel out and keep the university’s acceptance rate (offers extended per application received) about the same.
If you read the NASA source, it is talking only about Antarctica. NASA doesn't say anything about this being "90% of the world's glaciers". That is inserted by the author who is commenting on the NASA study, and is unsupported.

It is entirely possible that the Antarctic ice is growing while the Arctic is shrinking. That doesn't mean that there is no consequence to the loss of Arctic ice, or that it won't cause extinctions and a shift in climate in the Arctic.

No, I've used itunes. It's sad.
Off topic, but I went without a phone for about 9 months (technically, I had a phone, it just wasn't connected, so it really just acted as a portable wifi device) and it really was quite liberating and freeing knowing that once I left home/the office, I was not contactable. I didn't use other people's phones, I just used the internet (on my home wifi or office wifi) to communicate with people. It did mean I had to plan things ahead of time instead of the usual quick call "hey, I'm at X, where are you" type thing, but hey, we did that before mobile phones too, without problem. The only thing I really did miss was google/apple maps.

Eventually a family member got annoyed though and bought me a new sim. :/

Are cybernetics wireless too in Shadowrun? If so, it would mean a hacker could also directly attack cybered enemies, like shutting down cybernetic eyes to blind someone, force a leg to trip its owner or an arm to punch its owner.
What a great article. Loved the mix of historical references mixed with statistical data. Easily better than any news article I've read on college admissions issue. It's so rare that an article exceeds my expectations.
Netflix could fake Dolby Vision by dumping MORE data in than was in the original stream - that seems like a wasteful way to cut corners.
Somehow the idea that this is all caused by people applying to more places doesn't cut it to me. It might account for some of it, but not all of it. A lot of this is probably fairly chaotic and complex. For example, the GI bill probably contributed directly somewhat also, but also probably led to cultural shifts because of the veteran population, which then in turn changed career and educational expectations, but the GI bill itself reflects WWII, which also reflects cataclysmic societal changes (that is, WWII caused many significant things, but was also caused by many significant things).

Speaking as someone who has done research on selection and standard testing, and whose first-hand experiences support what I see from the theory and research, this is kind of horrifying, because it inevitably leads to increases in bullshit.

The accuracy of any of the selection methods we use in education is very poor. It just is. Standardized tests, "holistic review", all of it. It's not useless, but it is poor. It's the sort of thing that works well for a certain level of selectivity, but not past it. Once you go past it, you're selecting on well-impressioned noise, and incentivizing bullshit.

Somehow this all seems related in my mind to the rise of concerns about replicability in science, college admissions scams, and the age of fraud in general (https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2019/04/th...). Something is broken. Probably many things.
“The good news is that Antarctica is not currently contributing to sea level rise, but is taking 0.23 millimeters per year away,” Zwally said. “But this is also bad news. If the 0.27 millimeters per year of sea level rise attributed to Antarctica in the IPCC report is not really coming from Antarctica, there must be some other contribution to sea level rise that is not accounted for.”
