> I find it, give the developer $5-$50, and enjoy a long and fruitful relationship.

> You Google what you want and get all sorts of shite. You risk your neck and download some file from Sourceforge.

You are comparing buying an application from a commercial developer who - if nothing else - has at least an incentive to provide a good experience and downloading an application for free written by someone who may or may not care further about the program than dumping it in a shared hosting service and you are surprised that the former is better?

How about 'finding' equivalent commercial software for Windows?

> You ‘install’ it and have to reboot. Reboot? To install software?

Unless the program targets Windows 95/98, this is not necessary and the largest majority of programs designed for Windows 2000 and later should not need reboot (even during Windows 9x it was unnecessary most of the time and was there 'just in case').

> I hate it. Viscerally hate it.

Then do something about it: support the developers who write quality software.

I would suppose that you could do similar attacks if someone used AWS S3 as a static site backend, then deleted the bucket, since S3 bucket names are global across all AWS accounts. It would be very difficult to find a target, since it seems as though people tend to leave S3 buckets around forever (see the recent "Facebook" leak that was caused by a defunct company leaving public S3 buckets around w/PII).
Well, I wouldn't call this a solution just yet. If you read through the documentation, you'll find that this won't work on shared hosts and requires a TLS certificate "that supports the CanSignHttpEchanges flag. As of April 2019, only DigiCert provides this extension." [1] Plus, as if the lift of transforming HTML into AMP HTML wasn't already big enough for your average web site owner, implementing signed exchanges will be over the head of 99% of the folks building web pages on the Web.

IMO, while the URL problem was a big issue, the bigger issue is that AMP's restrictions and limitations gives your users a neutered user experience in the final end. As others have pointed out, if it wasn't for Google's implicit requirement to implement AMP (e.g. to get into their carousel and other locations), AMP would have been DOA.

To be honest, your writing could be improved. For example using punctuation, and alternating longer and shorter sentences.
>I highly doubt that there are millions of people who call themselves vegan without having heard of this definition.

You can doubt it, but you'd be wrong. At best they'd chanced about some historical background piece that contained the definition. But the huge majority wont tie it to some 19th century "Vegan Society" or know/remember anything about some "original definition".

>It's kind of like the term hacker. The general public understands it to mean one thing, but vast majority of people who apply the term to themselves understand it to mean another thing.

Well, the latter are wrong in your sense (etymology, history) too. There are references to the term "hacker" to mean intruder on other systems from decades before people self-identified and pushed for the supposedly benign-only definition. (E.g. there are reports of "hackers" messing with telephone services and bringing them down as far back as the early sixties (literally mentioned as "hackers", not phreakers).
> It would be like looking for fringe cases of things meat-eaters do (e.g. eating animals while they're still alive, eating dogs and cats) and using that to attack meat-eaters.

Don’t worry (or do worry), newspapers will attack veganism, vegetarianism, AND carnivorism (or omnivorism) if they have ways to create inflammatory headlines. That’s not something reserved to only one subset.
Could this argument not apply to animals also?

Are chickens not the most wide spread birds? Sheep and cows the most widespread 'large' animals.

Even rats are doing as well as they are because of humans.

Yes I suppose you can reduce the meaning of life to successfully creating the next generation, that applies equally to humans and amoeba, but I would contend its too reductive.
The entire Gospel is centered around salvation by faith in Christ, which of course is much older than 150 years.
Not sure I buy the argument that humans can learn to beat an AI by exploiting its weaknesses. This argument has been made many times. Kasparov said something similar when he lost to Deep Blue, yet not too long after that chess engines became unbeatable.
>These tier1 brands want a family friendly image and dont want their content shown next to anything possible objectionable.

The solution here is to go places they normally advertise and astro-turf groups that "object" to whatever they are already advertised near.

They will have to learn that no matter what you do, somebody will be upset.

You don't need a participation medal in taking care of yourself. Right now you aren't earning more money or being directly rewarded by being healthy but this is a personal investment in your own future, why should anyone else show any form of recognition to a very personal life choice?

I do the same, I'm healthy, I go to the gym, I bike to work, my reward is getting older fit while I see people on my age group having more and more issues.

Yup, you might be more productive than someone that is unhealthy and taking sick days, etc., at the same time you don't use your paid time off (or have days discounted from your salary, such as here in Sweden) for when you got sick.
But the huge majority wont tie it to some 19th century "Vegan Society" or know/remember anything about some "original definition".

Do you have any evidence for that claim? All the vegans I know use this definition.

Also, the vegan society was started in the 20th century.

My biggest quarrel with this is that its just another way for google to take control over the internet. Does any other search provider than google use AMP? Does any browser other than googles own support this?
How busy are you? You can't wait 0.5 seconds for an HTTP request? And you think its worth feeding google with more precise data about your movements online than they already have? And as a business integrating AMP, loose control over your own content and platform? Why?
SpaceX is going to be putting thousands of satellites in the ~750mi orbital range, which takes centuries to decay.

So long as they are closely tracked I don't think this is an issue, but these things are not meant to decay on short lifespans.
The human waste and needles on the street are intimately related in my mind.

Step 1: People start shooting up in public bathrooms, and then passing out on the toilets

Step 2: Public bathrooms are closed due to the drug problem found in step 1

Step 3: Now everyone begins shitting in the street because public bathrooms are no longer available. And those people shooting up in the bathrooms are also shooting up on the street.

In those public bathrooms that remain, you typically see needle disposal containers; sometimes in every stall. In Seattle on Sunday, I went to the bathroom in Macy's and every stall had them and I'm pretty sure 3 of the stalls were occupied by people doing drugs.

The obvious answer is supervised injection sites where people can safely shoot up, which would then allow public restrooms to reopen and not be constantly occupied by people with needles. Unfortunately, the republican party at the national level has worked to actively prevent SF from opening these sites. So, the author, a prominent republican, should maybe consider telling his party's national apparatus to get out of the way of SF fixing their local problems rather than his weird nonsensical admonition at the end.
Consumers will pay for reviews they believe are truthful, like Consumer Reports.

But it's far more lucrative for sellers to pay for fake reviews, e.g. celebrity endporsements, magazine articles, youtube videos etc.

So much content out there is just lying about products for sale that I think a for-profit model for honest reviews will inevitably decide to open itself up to fake reviews or paid content. The pressure to do so is just to great and the rewards are hard to turn down.
What exactly is your threat model? Are you a developer of a very public software project? Are you a politician or a journalist? Or someone in HR? Or are you just an average Joe?

And what software do you use regularly? Do you pirate software?

These are important questions to answer, before you come up with how to secure your Mac.

That said, I'm just an average developer. I hardly run anything non-standard. I do make sure to not leave my laptop unlocked, but that's it.

Some differences:

- AMP is a transparent and unambiguous standard that leaves no uncertainty as to whether you are somehow "performant enough" to qualify for the simple but limited visibility boost (referring to the news carousel)

- AMP prevents important usability problems beyond performance, like page content jumping

- AMP can enable advanced/extreme performance optimizations by default that are somewhat rare in practice (eg. only loading images above the fold) or isn't really possible to do safely/properly without a spec like AMP (eg. preloading content before the user clicks the link without unpredictably disrupting the website's servers) or sometimes avoided due to cost (eg. fast global caching with Google's impressive CDN). Important for users in the developing world.

Addressing your other points:

- Users who don't use Google services don't suffer. AMP is not Google-exclusive, all the major search engines (like Bing, Yahoo, Yandex) are stakeholders in the AMP standard and are free to support AMP. AFAIK there is nothing in the AMP standard that favors Google over other search engines or any other platform that might support AMP.

- Not sure how web developers suffer more from AMP. I'd think web developers would suffer more from trying to wrangle their bloated website performance independently rather than use a standard toolkit that enforces best practices and enables difficult/expensive optimizations out of the box.

- It's not clear to me how the internet as a whole will suffer, but I suspect this is just general hyperbole and not a specific point.
Are you referring to the astronomer or the 5G user? ;)
Actually that’s pretty close to how I decided to go vegan. I came to it from many different angles and I’m sure others do as well. Only later did I realize the close relationship between non-cruelty to veganism. (Was in a pretty libertarian area)
The article on astroturfing may be what you are looking for [0]. The Review article should have contained at least a reference to that concept.

Sorry for not reading your original post carefully till now. However, I think my point still stands: if you have a product that people are paying you money for, say a camera, and you improve it, your product is more useful, and so you can charge more. Or sell more units at the same price. A camera that can record a timelapse is more useful than one that can't, whether or not other cameras record timelapses. In a world without copyright, the cost of improving your product also reduces, because you can take the code from somewhere, so it needn't sell that many extra units to recoup the lower cost.

In this way, eliminating copyright will create a race to the top, making all products better.
It would require probably hundreds of thousands of dollars of extra salary before I would consider sharing that info with my employer, possibly millions (not exaggerating). Trading that info even for tens of thousands of dollars (let alone peanuts like gift cards) seems deeply unappealing to me.
I'm not sure what it is that you're arguing against, where did I advocate shouting abuse outside a school as a productive way of doing anything? Perhaps you could clarify your argument somewhat.

Civil debates are great, I'm happy to have more of them. At the same time, works like the Life of Brian (and many others over the years) sometimes manage to convey more thought-provoking critique per unit time than any civil debate I've ever seen. Having to tune out a measure of tasteless humor is the price we pay for enjoying these brilliant works because there is no more a way of legislating good humor than there is of enforcing quality journalism, good music or any other creative human endeavour.
"Even if you treat the animal like a king; it's still not free to do its own thing"

> All it takes to demonstrate this is a brief moment of pause before you hit the upvote or the downvote button.

WOW, that was well phrased.
The chap on BBC radio yesterday said that he deliberately gave lower marks (4 star) than 5 because of exactly that - it looked too obvious.
He also said that some of the products that he was paid to review he didn't even use (hemorrhoid cream being one item).

I have also noticed the tit-for-tat reviews on Amazon between competitors. Its quite common on the cheaper products, in my experience. I've bought one or two awful things due to being caught by fake reviews, but I do tend to go back and leave a dreadful review.
[I'm not at all denying your hypothesis. Just wishing to probe the issue further.]

When women are choosing their coaches do they exhibit the same sort of choices, that you called prejudice? Maybe in general men are better at coaching? Are you assuming it is prejudice, or is that demonstrable?

I wonder if sportsmen perceive that more successful sportsmen make better coaches, so female sportsmen think that males are better because of the monetary bias?

The bias in sport seems to be primarily biological. Your second clause doesn't answer why it's harder for women already at the pinnacle of their sport to move in to "retirement" posts (coach, admin, advocacy): besides prejudice do you have any other hypotheses.

I imagine the travel involved is similar to being an itinerant salesman; if there are self-selective pressures that differ by the sexes then I could see similar proportions to that field.
Why would the study want to target "the healthiest employees on the planet"? That would bias the study. Seems to me they chose a random company (that would agree to participate) with average workers. The whole point would be to see if these programs improve healthcare. Honestly, the majority of BJ's workers work in a giant warehouse store and get a lot of walking in daily as part of their job. (*Source: I'm a former BJ's Wholesale 'team member' although I worked in the office in IT)

Carnist, I believe, is a term used by vegans to refer to those who support ideologically that it is acceptable to use animals for food, rather than someone who eats meat. There are people who do not eat meat, for religious or cultural reasons, and those are generally referred to a vegans, in the same way there are those who eat meat for cultural reasons (my father did it, his father did it, I've never really thought about it) rather than supporting some ideology. For vegans to label meat eaters (more accurately omnivores) as carnist, their ideological/political opponents is, well, not really offensive, but it does rankle.

As social psychologists say, there is no in-group cohesion without out-group hostility, but it is a shame for vegans (for which I have some sympathy) to isolate themselves in this manner, particularly if they want to change the world for the better.

They're probably heaven for consumerists.
It's become tedious fighting through the endless two word 5 star reviews, 1 star reviews because it was damaged in shipping and so on.

Add that Amazon are determined to show thirty no-name brands of cheap (and nasty) copies of whatever item you searched for, sometimes making the actual market leader really difficult to find, and it becomes more trouble than it's worth. I don't have hours to micro-manage and investigate every £10 purchase for fake product, fake review or not the brand I really wanted.

As a hugely keen early adopter of online shopping, these days I just go to the shops more and more often. It's just a shame there's so many fewer of them!
There was quite a good sketch by Not The Nine O'Clock News which reversed that debate, in which the film The Life of Christ is accused of parodying the revered Monty Python.

This is a very rare problem in literally any other Western city. Even in the severely deprived ones which have used needle problems. Dog waste and public urination, maybe.
Hypothesis: it would be better to live in a world where UI is mostly user-authored, and B2C is mostly an API marketplace.

In other words, imagine that instead of being forced to digest a plurality of static and unforgiving view hierarchies from designers on high, you have with a single, long-lived, personalized UI that is flexible, changes with your needs, and allows you to integrate new data and services alongside or into existing workflows. Think of it as a personal UI agent.

I like this model of software primarily because of how much creative power and agency it gives end users. "B2C" could end in "creator" instead of "consumer". It's unix-y in its composable nature, and more in line with the hopes we had for the web's ability to unlock creativity in its infancy.

It also seems like a step towards a world where we see fewer ads, because there's more of a culture of paying for digital products by usage or subscription (though ad-supported options would remain; I don't see this as a revolution against ad-supported models).

Obviously, lots of challenges to execution, but would love to hear of anyone else thinking along these lines!
Oh sorry. So you favor plutocracy, not autocracy.
> If you're loading the content from the originating site, surely there's no benefit at all to signing. If you're loading the content directly from the site, the browser just needs TLS to verify the integrity of the content.

The browser security model stops them from doing this, but presumably in this new world they could allow this to work and not host the content in the carousel themselves.

I think the argument about content suddenly becoming "slow" and no longer AMP validated if it's not served from the AMP cache is a poor one.

Finally I'm willing to postpone judgement but I did just explain why people feel that Google is embracing and extending the web if you can't understand why people are worried about this that's not something I can help you with ;-)

Cloudflare does not have the same scope, power, monopoly or scale that Google have - I can change CDN provider if they start doing weird stuff, no problem, but I can never really get away from Google.
Not to mention that these programs are notoriously difficult to actually use as an employee. Some require getting monthly receipts from your gym, then faxing to your healthcare provider, waiting for a check to come in the mail, etc. Look for companies like https://myleon.co/ to disrupt this space and make these programs more effective.
Actually you can sometimes convince people their ideas are wrong by laughing at their ideas. I'll never forget my Dad's reaction when I bought a magazine about flying saucers.

Whether or not we can change each others views by laughing at them, it shouldn't be forbidden. In fact it's healthy. All religions, and atheists too, have ideas that should be subjected to the scrutiny of laughter.

Don't confuse hatred of people with laughing at ridiculous ideas. I 100% support everyone's right to hold ridiculous ideas (as long as they don't impact the rest of us).

Laugh at the ties people wear to the office, or the suits with tails that people wear to prestigious events; but laugh as well at pompous religious robes.

Laugh at the belief that flying saucers exist, the belief that fairies exist, the belief that god X Y or Z exists, or at the idea that the universe is just a soup of particles and radiation that cares nothing about us.

Any worthwhile idea or belief can withstand laughter, and probably did when it was young. The fact that some people cannot, means it's not reasonable to take the piss out of the shy kid in class. Laughing at a vulnerable person or group of people is wrong. But for ideas - especially for ideas that claim justification in mystical personal experience rather than rationality - laughter can be the best argument.
But they make returns so easy, I'm not that bothered any more, if I get it and it's crap I'll just return it and look harder for a different one.
If that's the semantics you want, why not just add a check at the beginning of the loop? Compilers could add a warning advising the developer to do this if she doesn't care about partial results, anytime that they can't fully eliminate an .at() bounds check inside a loop.
I’ve never heard that definition of vegan. Too funny. It’s almost a linguistic attack on veganism to define it as bland.
Realistically, no. High frequency trading is a niche and not hugely profitable market. Not really worth disrupting when there is a much bigger opportunity in delivering internet access to billions of people and many billions of devices.
