"The Drive" website... doesn't seem to mention "Time, Inc." anywhere, and your link is to an overview of "True Multimedia Co. Ltd.", described on that page as:

`True Multimedia Company Limited provides high-speed multimedia network services in Thailand. `

Disclaimer: I'm a maintainer of zstd, so I'm biased.

Brotli dominates HTTP compression. Zstd just got its RFC approved a few months ago, but Brotli has been present in browsers for years.

However, zstd is more widely adopted everywhere else, especially in lower level systems. Zstd is present in compressed file systems (BtrFS, SquashFS, and ZFS), Mercurial, databases, caches, tar, libarchive, package managers (rpm and soon pacman). There is a pretty complete list here https://facebook.github.io/zstd/.

Again, I'm biased because I know almost everywhere where zstd is deployed, but not everywhere that Brotli is.

You're downvoted because (ignoring for now the Apple fanboys who can't abide any criticism of Apple) your edit is wrong as explained elsewhere in these comments. Your initial China point is spot on.
Nope. Honestly, if I need Linux, I spin up a VM, use Ubuntu (Windows Store), or ssh into one of my Linux boxes.

A laptop is a "client" system. Windows license came free, so there's no real $$ problem using Windows from my eyes. And now that Ubuntu on Windows works well, I got all the SSH / command line tools needed to interact with my servers quite well.

--------

I'd bet on Dell for Linux support. Specifically their Ubuntu Linux line of laptops. They're expensive, but they are high end and seem like they're worth it to anyone who needs a real Linux environment.

https://www.dell.com/learn/us/en/555/campaigns/xps-linux-lap...

I've heard good things about this line, but I've never used it before. Basically, its a laptop with every device driver optimized to work with Linux well. You gotta pay up for it, but I've never heard any issues come out of any user of the Dell Linux line.
The linked article says only Chrome on Android supports this so far. As I understood it, other browsers do not show the original URL yet but if they start supporting AMP Real, they will start “lying” too.

I say “lie” because while the cryptographic signature gives Google/browsers authorization to display the original URL, the original domain is not involved in serving the request for each user. The original domain could be down or change the content while AMP Real URL cache will still show old data. Copy pasting the URL in a new tab will show different data - from the original domain. Same URL should not show different data between two tabs. I understand cached data can always be stale but hitting refresh in tab 1 vs 2 will show two different but consistent things. That is weird.
Good for iPhone users, now that Apple & Qualcomm are in the bed again; they will get decent 5G experience (or) at-least what everyone else is getting.
We would all be better off if there were a flat universal fee for feature films and tv episodes on streaming platforms.
It is the law around "standard" essential patents. Company X develops technology and then works the standards process to make their technology the standard. Now anyone who wants to use the standard must license the technology from company X. Phones only work if everyone uses a published standard. In order to have something approved as the standard, company X has to agree beforehand that they will license the tech to everyone at reasonable rates.

This was core to Apple's argument. Qualcomm was insisting on unreasonable licensing rates for standards essential patents. I don't know who was right or wrong, but that was the position.
> Importantly your site is still being served from Google’s AMP cache just as before; all of this comes without any cost to your SEO or web performance.

Glad to see they've addressed AMP's main leverage point
This is a "solution" to a "problem" that AMP itself created. And in the process it creates additional complexity[1] and a new potential revenue stream[2] for middlemen providing a service that shouldn't be necessary in the first place.

Astounding.

And oh yeah:

> AMP Real URL is only supported in the Chrome browser at this time, but we are optimistic it will be supported more widely as its benefit to Internet users becomes clear.

Who needs web standards, right? [3]

[1] Especially egregious because it's making SSL identity validation even more complex than it was before. I'm sure this will make getting security "right" even harder.

[2] Or in this case a new barrier to competition:

> After speaking with publishers and with Internet users, we have decided not to charge for AMP Real URL. This is not because our customers haven’t been excited or willing to pay for it, AMP makes up a huge component of many site’s traffic. Our motivation is the same as for offering CDN or SSL services to millions of customers free of charge, we are here to help build a better Internet and improving AMP is a huge step in that direction.

Edit:
[3] dfabulich (below) has correctly pointed out that this is in the process of being standardized: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-yasskin-http-origin-signed...

Despite this, Firefox has currently marked this proposal as "harmful" (https://mozilla.github.io/standards-positions/). It seems to me as though Google may be ramming this one through despite objections.
The degree is fairly relevant for certain positions in government, NGOs, academia, national institutions, diplomacy think tanks, lobbies and more.

The URL is now where you'd expect it -- in the address bar.

Copy and paste it to a new tab and you're off to the races.
yeah, I tend to opt for a jetbrains editor, if that's not available then I'll use something like vscode. I also like that both are cross platform as I use both Mac and Windows
Zstandard is awesome, there is nothing else close to it that I've seen. There are plenty of codecs that give you either obscene ratios or low CPU usage, but none that support both in combination. Zstandard on its highest setting easily competes with xzip for anything I've thrown at it. Decompression throughput is unaffected by compression setting -- it just burns more memory. So you can get xzip-like ratios with decompression throughput approaching 1GB/sec

It allows trading lower CPU for gzip-or-worse compression, and you can mix the settings within a single file. This means you can e.g. use the lowest setting (or no compression at all - it supports that too) to append to a file, while occasionally recompressing recent appends into a single block using the highest setting -- so the cost of compression can be amortized

The only petty annoyance with it is ecosystem support - e.g. GNU tar has no option for it, so it's slightly more painful to work with
The next GRUB release (grub-2.04) includes my patch to add support for zstd compressed BtrFS filesystems, which should solve one of the major pain points of Zstd BtrFS compression.
It's hard to take them seriously when they make claims like this:

> Twelve years ago we introduced Coda, the world’s first web development editor.

It's hard to come up a charitable definition of 'web development editor' (inbuilt css editor? browser preview?) that wouldn't likely cover Dreamweaver.
I’m sorry but this is ridiculous.

You realize Square is a thriving, $31B public company at the time of this comment?

Yea, as an example I found two plugins just this week that have hugely upgraded my productivity:

1. JSX <> Object convert

2. CSS <> Object convert

I don’t use a ton of plugins, but there are about 12 that really make my life far easier. That’s probably the same for everyone, but a different set of 5-20 plugins.

That, and the fact that Intellisense/Typescript features are about all that matters in terms of future productivity gain, and I can’t imagine why they’d choose to make this. By the time they release it they’ll be that much further behind the status quo in VSCode, which is far ahead and moving fast. Best of luck to them!
Building on the surface destroys the entire benefit of the project. The moon isn’t large enough to give you the effective ape rather size you need - if it was you’d be fine on earth.
That's kind of a funny way of thinking about it, buy yes? Loading an AMP page is (hopefully) an action which isn't mutating any state, so I would say it's more similar to how a CDN works. You decide you are interested in having a cache respond to a given request in a specific way, and it responds to requests which look a certain way with that response.

In this case it's significantly more secure though, as the exact request and response are signed and a third-party you trust (your browser) is deciding if that signature matches.
Walmart's Robot Army
"How efficient is a developer when producing things that are incorrect?"

That software's users will use the product is the number one metric. They'll use it so long as it achieves their goal with the reliability or security they tolerate. That often means it can be kind of flaky in terms of reliability. The security can be arbitrarily bad so long as they don't know it. Sometimes they'll still use the product if they know security is bad because they need it.

That's the baseline. From there, developers have to decide what's most beneficial among investments in more features, enhancements of existing features, new products/activities, or enhancing quality/reliability/security. They usually choose against that last set. So, doing the other things with the minimum quality that's acceptable makes the most economic and social sense.

I don't believe the required billions of financing for this project has been obtained yet.

I am skeptical of the utility, since most humans live in dense cities, where it is both cheaper and faster to run fiber (even to 5G towers) than it is for millions of people to choke on a handful of satellites. This offering is only compelling for regions that have no people and no infrastructure (and therefore no money). All signs point to another Teledesic or Iridium.

They pitch it as a “discount” if you complete it and meet goals.
Analogy: Squid caching with a signature from your SSL certificate that proves it was valid as of when you signed it, so that the browser can trust the Squid cache and display the URL that’s in the signed plaintext with a domain matching that of the certificate that signed the cache blob.

Today’s browsers trust all user-configured proxies implicitly and no other proxies at all, so providing a signed copy of the GET-only AMP content, it can be safely cached (the “replay attack”) without needing to trust the cache, because it’s signed plaintext.

> I don't think your math is right on that- higher efficiency in ICE vehicles would mean that the Tesla vehicles displaces fewer ICE vehicles, would it not?

Hard to tell - the report doesn't show all it's math so there are two ways to interpret. But I'll post the relevant paragraph from the report here:

> Over 550K Tesla vehicles have been sold, and they have driven over 10B miles to date, resulting in a combined savings of over 4M metric tons of CO2. This is the equivalent of saving emissions from being released into the environment from over 500K ICE vehicles with a fuel economy of 22 miles per gallon (MPG).

The way I read that, the hard number is 4 million metric tonnes of CO2 (which they determined is equivalent to 500000 vehicles at 22MPG, given average distances driven and CO2 output from that amount of gasoline). If my interpretation is correct, it would be equivalent to (500000*25/22=) 568 thousand cars at 25 MPG (the more efficient cars put out less co2 per mile, so the same amount of co2 reduction is equivalent to more cars).

But it may just be worded poorly, and they know how many cars it kept off the road, and calculated their emissions savings based on an equivalent average of 22 MPG. In which case, your calculation would be correct.
Correct, it's essentially the same as it is now, but easier as you don't have to worry about removing the "google.com/amp" prefix.
Sure, I meant they were both developed by a one person only shop. Not that they were both developed by the same person.

Also, Sublime was Windows only at first IIRC, so I don’t think it was an answer to TextMate.

This new thing (signed HTTP exchanges) is an IETF draft. https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-yasskin-http-origin-signed...

Another commenter (metildaa) said Intel is 5 years behind the competition on their 4G LTE technology.

I can't reconcile that claim with PC Magazine's tests of the iPhone XS's mobile performance: https://www.pcmag.com/news/364116/iphone-xs-crushes-x-in-lte...

The PC Mag author, Sascha Segan, says repeatedly that the iPhone XS at worst only slightly trails the Galaxy Note 9 and other high-end phones with 2018 Qualcomm SoCs. To quote directly:

> Between the three 4x4 MIMO phones, you can see that in good signal conditions, the Qualcomm-powered Galaxy Note 9 and Google Pixel 2 still do a bit better than the iPhone XS Max. But as signal gets weaker, the XS Max really competes, showing that it's well tuned.

> Let's zoom in on very weak signal results. At signal levels below -120dBm (where all phones flicker between zero and one bar of reception) the XS Max is competitive with the Qualcomm phones and far superior to the iPhone X, although the Qualcomm phones can eke out a little bit more from very weak signals.

We could say this is all Apple tuning the phone's antenna array and materials, but I find it extremely unlikely that would have compensated for "5 years" of Intel lag - back then LTE was several times slower in theory and practice.

We could also say this is just Apple giving Intel all the secrets of modems that Intel couldn't figure out themselves. That could be more plausible, but again I'm doubtful, since Apple would have little incentive to hoard those secrets and then loan them to Intel instead of using them to build their own chips. Unless of course Apple stole those secrets from Qualcomm or someone else...?
Could you fill out those tiers? Who has better wifi/ethernet chips than Intel atm?

I explained the “lying” part in another comment below. I understand the signed package part. The difference between Google doing this and my router/ISP/everything-in-tracert is that the content is served by Google. It originates with Google, not with the router or other intermediaries. Sure it is a signed cached package but Google’s servers are hosting and serving the content and the browser is going to google.com/amp/foo pretending to be foo.com.

This is different from using CNAME example.com to point to cloudflare.com to host your site on it because then Cloudflare is the actual host for your site. With AMP Real URL, you never know which site is actually involved anymore because the browser “lies” to you.
Looks like it's pretty mixed; many go into finance:

So earlier Apple and Qualcomm reach détente. Then Intel announces exit from the 5G modem space, meaning Intel isn't a viable alternative to Qualcomm as supplier had Apple and Qualcomm not made nice. Interesting timing of statements...

...but, Intel mentioned the IP they still retain in the 5G space. What's the over/under on Apple licensing Intel's IP and bringing modem dev in house (keeping in mind that would take a couple years at best to payoff) vs making a best case scenario of a working relationship with Qualcomm and using their tech?
I'm in Japan which has a similarly uncompetitive mobile space to the US, and they've been offering unlimited 4G home internet here for a couple years now.

Their solution is to IMEI lock the plans to these mains-power wifi routers the size of an old AirPort Extreme, and QoS them to have lower priority than their pay-per-GB mobile customers. That way it can't be abused for people to use it to replace the (still-expensive) mobile plans, and the lower network priority means that they're just taking up unused network capacity anyway.
Are they going to make more? I want to see one for every S-1

When you permit a proxy to replay your content, it's just caching. It's not an "attack." (If the proxy can replay your content without your permission, that would be an attack.)
