Was that really the case that they were expected to prevail? They agreed to the terms and decided to renegotiate afterwards, instead of after the expiration of the agreement. If they thought the terms were unjust then they should have designed QCOM parts out beforehand or brought a suit then. QCOM offered a royalty cap in order to avoid the problems they described ("we add NAND and they charge a bigger royalty", "cost of the couch based on the price of the house", etc).

It strikes me as brinksmanship in order to get a better deal for the next agreement: 5G chips. No surprise that it's part of the settlement. But yes, without a doubt, QCOM did mitigate risk by agreeing to the settlement. They only narrowly avoided an LBO.
Its quite exciting. I used godot shortly after it became an open source project in 2016 I think. It was cool back then but I never saw any good 3D games built with it. These days I don't do game dev anymore but I'm still impressed with how much progress they have made.
> But they were marketed/branded as 4G almost immediately

That was just a US thing though, right? Where I lived it was branded "Turbo 3G".

Isn't LTE already being branded as 5G in the US as well?
If you could remind me why I followed someone, that’s a start. Often I see ppl in my stream and I wonder why/when I initially followed them.
Databases will love Optane. There have been companies showing how much they are willing to spend on database hardware and software for ages. I'm not sure that will change any time soon.
Former political scientist here to simply say that Game Theory is immensely useful in the real world IF you couple the calculus with real world understanding of power politics and realpolitik. It's just that outside if certain government and think tank circles the skills, underlying data, and Intel product aren't there. For this reason the larger group of practicing folks are flying blind and useless.

Okay sure, but what can you _do_ with that extra throughput is what OP is asking.

You're making the classic IT-guy failure of talking about the technical feature rather than the user outcome (I have had to train myself out of this in recent years so I'm not having a go at you).
It is coming from exactly what you said, I would also expect a change to nutrition to originate from a DNP. My point is they have more control over day-to-day intake.

Well, now with BZFlag, you can play those games under urban envs.
I stand corrected. But I still think that AMP and Google in general are bad for an open, competitive internet.
In many cases that is what happened, not wholesale knocking down of the old buildings.

In many cases, that's much of Paris, too - including underneath Notre Dame.
Jeremy Clarkson really really doesn’t represent the world of “car enthusiasts” or journalists in general. He’s an entertainer, part of a latter day Three Stooges and tarring an entire branch of journalism with his brush is like saying that because Sean Hannity is a fuckwit, so was Walter Cronkite.
> That’s a fair question. Many of our competitors are free, and we really rely on, well, revenue.

After a decade on Mac, I finally bought a Windows laptop. The think I miss most is the quality software. Apple users are willing to pay for software, so you have great apps like Scrivener, OmniFocus, Coda, etc. But the culture of “free” has overrun Windows, and for the most part, it’s a disaster. There is no revenue potential in many areas of software, especially B2C software, and it shows in a lack of quality.
Author of LOL here, if there are any questions!
Yeah that was the most impressive part. Gives me some hope for Twitter.
Lol. And that news that Intel is exiting 5G. No wonder apple gave in to Qualcomm.

Seesh, I read that as *First US Patents Treated With CRISPR As Human Gene-Editing..."

There's a huge battle going on over who owns the patents on CRISPR. Since it's worth billion of dollars I assume it will go own for some time.
Yes it did, and more! It even came with exploitable binaries, thus earning the distinction of being the first HTML editor to compromise your website for you.

I can tell you any more choice in the US would be a good thing. Our infrastructure is pretty much bottom rung unless you are one of the very few who can get access to fiber. I have literally a Google fiber drop installed in my front yard, but they can't be bothered to give me service. Google is no longer deploying new locations in my city.
BC is going to start tracking this. It was just unveiled last week.
Until they have their own design, Apple would be wise to continue dual-sourcing the modems. Apple is heavily subsidizing Intel's R&D until they can bootstrap their own.

Apple can make their premium offering Qualcomm's 5G and have the tier(s) below that be Intel's LTE.
Inform6 was first, and it was far easier to grasp than ZIL and Inform7 itself.
I assume this means I’ll be able to use a browser extension to catch AMP requests and convert those requests into traditional requests?

Not making an AMP judgement in this comment, just asking if the technical capability exists.
Anyone got a link to an APK that is safe to install?
Personally, I never want to see an AMP page and its ugly design and shitty controls. How do I make this happen? Is there something I can do that will make Cloudflare simply redirect me to the real web page instead?
How does this deal with higher-order functions? This is usually where these analyzers fall down. If you don't allow higher-order functions, then you just forbade virtual methods, so your analyzer can't handle real-world C/C++ code.
From some comment Tim Pool made afterwards it appears that they got the impression Jack didn't really understand this was a major issue or the depths of dangerous stifling of speech they were participating in by potentially banning people who were just labeled "Nazi" because it's now a synonym for what you call someone you don't like or agree with.

It sounds like he's been looking into the issue and taking some executive action to stop the platform from being controlled by a single ideology group.
I don't see comparisons against any version of Zstandard, much less Zstandard 1.4, there.

(Besides, regardless of the state of benchmarks today, the momentum is clearly with Zstandard, with Facebook, Intel, and the open source community behind it. The basic lossless compression algorithms haven't changed much since the late 1970s. Making compression fast is mostly just a long slog of engineering hurdles, the kind that big companies are very good at doing.)

"We can choose to become a retirement community like Europe"

Sounds pretty fucking amazing to me. How do we choose to do this? The more like Europe we become, the better life will be for millions of people. The path seems to be to ignore idiots like Calanis and Ma and their stupid ranting bullshit. Better for millions to live nice lives than for one scumbag like Calanis or Ma to become a multi-millionaire / billionaire. These motherfuckers have nothing to add to the conversation and frankly, people that follow their "work harder" advice are either incredibly stupid or beyond desperate. I don't think we need to be either in the US although I'm sure those morons and other morons who follow them will disagree.

NaCl was an interesting tech demo, but it was a complex set of rules built on the x86 house of cards and it took a lot of work to port it between platforms (I think it was demoed on ARM but never took off).

PNaCl was a "lazy" attempt at making this cross-platform by leveraging LLVM's intermediate format which was never designed to be a "format" like that.

WebAssembly is 10x better than either of those formats and you can see the benefits of having multiple players design something to work for a long-term horizon.

I can type the punctuation on a staggered board without looking... I don't know what's so hard about it.

RE: ortholinear

In my opinion, there's no reason to do ortholinear instead of column-stagger, which is far more comfortable because it lets your fingers rest in a more natural curl. It's also further removed from row-stagger, easing the clean separation of muscle memory so that you can still use normal keyboards.

The real key to upping your keyboard game, though, is thumb keys. My Mitosis Anaphase has tons and tons of thumb keys so I never have to reach for anything, ever. My number keys are on the home row, modifiers, and the enter key easily accessible by my thumbs. On layers I have mouse keys, funky punctuation, and more. The thumb clusters even leave room for a standard inverted-T arrow cluster useful for media control.
Couple questions (curious if anyone knows...)

>> ... averaging 44 satellites per launch.

How big are these things and how many can _actually_ be put up in a single launch?

>> However, SpaceX intends to use this to their advantage by gradually replacing inactive satellites ...

What happens to inactive satellites? Do they de-orbit themselves in safe locations? Or just stay as space junk?
Mozilla's Position:
"Mozilla has concerns about the shift in the web security model required for handling web-packaged information. Specifically, the ability for an origin to act on behalf of another without a client ever contacting the authoritative server is worrisome, as is the removal of a guarantee of confidentiality from the web security model (the host serving the web package has access to plain text). We recognise that the use cases satisfied by web packaging are useful, and would be likely to support an approach that enabled such use cases so long as the foregoing concerns could be addressed."

Next year Intel will be hit harder when Apple announces Macs based on its A series ARM chips and transitions its entire Mac line to it by 2023 or 2024. This move by Apple will also prompt other PC manufacturers (a lot more than before) to move to ARM if Microsoft continues to play along well on ARM.

Seems like Intel’s future is bleak, and the company may have to be broken into pieces.

> Who needs web standards, right?

No one needs to follow web standards when one browser gets so big that it can completely dominate the technology and the corporation that runs it can force anything they want down everyone's throats! If you don't want to see things like this happening (and you shouldn't, AMP is a disgusting technology), stop using Netscape, err, I mean, Chrome.
You think it's not?
But this is flatly untrue.

Images and video sure, but everything from html, just, css, svg isn't compressed.

In fact compression is critical to modern SPA frameworks to keep initial download times lower.

Also this post has little to do with http compression. ZSTD is used it many other circumstances.
tar-1.3.1 added support for zstd with the option `--zstd` and `-a`, the auto-decompression flag, also supports zstd. Older tar versions also have the `-I` flag which you can use to (de)compress with zstd.

We're working to improve zstd support in the ecosystem over time, but this work moves slowly, and it takes a long time for upstream work to make it to users systems, especially LTS systems.
>You cannot even pay people to do them

You can, though. Our company did up to ten bucks a day for a walking program and participation was quite high. It promptly fell off a cliff when the value went down to up to $4 a day.
Nothing about SpaceX except marketing hype has to do with Mars, can we just stop it with the Mars talk? It belittles what SpaceX actually is about, which is amazing in its own right. Launch demand, cheaper LEO/GEO/GTO, and a willingness to push the industry out of the 60’s is almost unbelievable, as is the journey they’ve taken to get this far. Throwing Mars into the mix makes it all sounds like bullshit, because anyone who actually understands the challenges of Mars beyond the big rocket portion rolls their eyes and sighs.

I’d also add that competing with the likes of Comcast and Verizon could be very profitable in the long term. I don’t think we need to assume it doesn’t serve its own obvious purpose of being th first big step in getting that sweet ISP money.

Edit api: It makes sense for a lot of things that a demand actually exists for, like heavy loads, launching a number of different contracts in one reusable rocket to save on overhead, defense contracts, and more. Those will actually make them money, and are all technically feasible today.
I get your point, but seriously, go read Nick Bilton's book about the early history or Twitter. From the time of Odeo to Jack coming back, none of the people in charge of this company or the board had a consistent idea of what they were building, an appropriate roadmap to get there, or how to monetize effectively relative to other social networks. This happened for years.

Square is amazing, but a B2B, modern Point-of-Sales for SMBs is an entirely different beast than a free, B2C social network. Jack can be great at one, and terrible at the other, at the same time. These are not related.
This is great news. I've mostly heard about it for embryos so I'm glad that options for existing people are being explored.
They astroturf on all the social media, I feel like that is unethical.

It's really unfortunate to see awful claims like "we are here to help build a better Internet and improving AMP is a huge step in that direction" that are blatantly dishonest and harmful to the Internet being promoted by Cloudflare in this blog post. AMP is a horrible cancer the Internet is plagued with, and we keep being told it's great even though literally nobody wants it.

Claims like "Many of the sites we have spoken to get as much as 50% of their web traffic through AMP" ignore the fact that this is only true because it's been forced down our throats without our consent.

Anyone implementing an AMP-based technology which doesn't come with a way for users to decline to participate is actively harming the open web. I like Cloudflare and a lot of what it does, but I'm really disappointed in them today.
They do participate in the standards process, and that's great, but it doesn't also mean they don't subvert it or shove tech down everyone's throats until it becomes a defacto standard that you have to implement if you want to stay competitive.

Let's not get too hyperbolic - 4G isn't perfect. I do regularly have issues getting any data connection in my office building in Chicago.

...that said, from the other comments, it sounds like 5G would make this issue worse...
What is frustrating is the chicken and egg problem on Windows too.... I'll pay, but hard to find software / not many good recommendations for software.

I'm speaking more generally rather than any given product.
I believe AMP required inserting a piece of Google controlled and hosted JavaScript in your content from the very beginning. So the cat was pretty much out of the bag on this already.
They’ll be in low orbit, so they deorbit on their own in months/years due to atmospheric drag. The ISS requires regular boosting for this reason.

44 in one launch is very doable. They’ve done 64 in a launch before: https://www.google.com/amp/s/phys.org/news/2018-12-spacex-sa...
I think most of us frame it and then let it sit in our parents' attic - just like anybody else with a degree, really. :-)

For real, though: I work in decentralized tech. I mean, a lot of people coming out of college work in some technology field, regardless of their degree.
I guess that we can revisit that if weather forecasting does become substantially less reliable. And with global climate change, maybe we'll need reliable weather forecasting. But me, I'll be dead before it gets too bad, dog willing.
As someone who does not live in a dense city, and is willing and capable of paying for a service such as Starlink, I resent the idea that it is not a worthwhile endeavor.
Oh, that's interesting. Do you mean they experience visual hypnagogia? Because I'd say at the time I lost it, those visual experiences were the only ones I had, so it did seem distinct from any non-hypnagogic visualizations.

Also, I remember as a kid if I played video games I would see images of them when I closed my eyes. I don't think that happens now. Maybe those brain pathways got pruned....

They are building a super heavy lift rocket that makes the most sense for sending humans to the Moon and Mars. Other roles can be served reasonably well by Falcon and FH. Outside manned tourism, exploration, and settlement there is little need for a rocket that big.

Also... marketing hype for who? We think the Mars stuff is cool, sure, but we are not SpaceX's customers. Their customers could care less. They care if their payloads fly to the right orbit.
Possibly but you made the initial affirmative statement of 2% of GDP. You should be able to source that and get the answer to your question about Czech.
Couple implementation questions:

Who's javascript/cookies run in a real URL amp page, if any?

What happens if I hit refresh, does it reload the AMP page or the real page?

Can a webpage that isn't Google use real domain AMP pages? In that case, can their javascript influence the page at all? (ie change the look, put elements over it, make http requests)
There was a Zork interface for Asterisk, which allowed to play the game over VoIP and with Festival as a TTS.

SQL. I bet there aren’t many of you who haven’t had to use it.
The design was absolutely used to attract tourists, and each cathedral was competing with all the others for attendence. That's why they were constantly updated, built upon, and in some cases: demolished to start again.

Except those tourists were called, "pilgrims". The money they paid to enter the building was what was used to fund the cathedral itself. See also, the Holy relics, like the Crown of Thorns. It's like a roadside attraction, except there's the hope of escape from earthly damnation and enter into everlasting peace in Heaven. Which I mean, that's a nice bonus. Such promises were made to those who worked on and/or financed the cathedral's building.

That whole system isn't in play anymore (The Catholic Church just doesn't have that power, or Monopoly over things like intellectual property like books and people who can read those books) and places like Notre Dame are in serious disrepair (before the fire). That's sort of the real tragedy: this fire probably could have been avoided if the money was there to spend.
I wonder if in that particular case the demand came from Panic of from the game studio (Campo Santo) they were collaborating with. It's even worse since they explicitly allowed anybody to stream and upload videos using the game and then renegged on the agreement.
Allaire Homesite did pretty much all of that in 1996—code editing, browser previews, site management, FTP client.
Coda was my primary editor up until around 2011 when I switched to Sublime Text. The built in FTP/SFTP transfers was a really big time saver and key feature. Things have changed quite a bit since then in the editor landscape, curious to see what comes.

I primary do DevOps today, and I think if their new editor implemented some DevOpsy features could be huge selling point. Remote SSH and running commands, terminal integration, git integration.
Agreed. They have a useless option "see less of this", which has absolutely no effect.

My approach is now to unfollow any user when Twitter forces a notification from them. Maybe someone with some brains at Twitter will notice the clear pattern and fix their idiotic notifications.
For me, it's not about speed, but accuracy. Typos are worse in programming than prose, and doubly-so in Vim (or another editor with Vim bindings).

I'll try Ratatype. I've tried home row a couple times in the past, but haven't ever really stuck with it, and always felt like it was overly-focused on letters. If Ratatype will help me type accurately when typing includes plenty of ()[]{}%$^!, then that's a skill I'd really benefit from.
I bought this book (physical copy) a few years ago and loved it. It may not be perfect, but for me, as an already experienced developer, it was a great intro to the world of Lisp.
I made sure to click their fake "allow notifications" modal so that the browser one would pop up and I could click "never allow".
Could Cloudflare accept a request header that would load up the full page instead of the AMP one? I suspect many people would use such a feature, and it would also be a good way to indicate to Google (and now it seems, Cloudflare as well) the dislike of AMP.
He's their most prized user. Cratering him would likely crater the entire service, despite donald's blatant violations of twitter's TOS.
Yep, exactly what I was getting at. If you have a giant database and a big budget, Optane is great. It could be really useful for smaller users too, but its unlikely to become widely popular as the average developer won't have it available in their laptop or desktop.
