Sure if it's your site, you don't use AMP - it just indicates disregard for basic web usability and competence. But what about the (rare) site using AMP with you having no control? Hmm ... ok thinking about it I don't know any site using AMP worth reading. I guess using AMP, like script-heavy content, is just a negative marker for quality content.
I hope AMP is the straw that breaks the camels back in googles antitrust suit - its the most blatant and shameless abuse of their position, IMO
Totally off topic, but still...: Many years ago, the New York Times did a lengthy piece about the Svalbard Seed Repository, referring to it as being located on "the island of Svalbard." It took repeated emails/corrections/tweets by me before they finally corrected the story and noted "Svalbard is not an island, it is an archipelago." All subsequent references in the Times have got it right.
Very true! I think it's actually an interesting constraint to place on business model ideation. When you restrict yourself to opportunities that you could reasonably pursue solo it forces you to be more creative. The upside is that your total addressable market doesn't need to be nearly as large.
The frame of reference matters. In Paris at least Wework offices are relatively clean, well managed, and modern compared to most offices.

But compared to a decent traditional office, they are:

- noisy (always someone phoning while walking around because they couldn't get a booth, even when recruiting or doing otherwise sensitive discussions)

- more agitated (at a point there was people trying electric scooters in the corridor)

- some offices are just gloomy (some don't have any windows, with no natural light coming in from any direction)

I think we could see them as the McDonald of offices: a know quantity that passes some threshold. It's better than a random sandwich place next to a tourist trap, but not as good as a decent well managed (although slightly pricier) restaurant.
Rough transcript, sorry for the typos/grammatical errors:

Title: "Why do you pollute when you're on the internet?"

"Netflix alone uses 13% of the world's internet bandwidth. Netflix is an absolute disaster in terms of greenhouse gases"

Jean Marc Jancovici, engineer and essayist, explains digital pollution in simple terms

What is digital pollution ?

"What we call digital pollution is just all the kinds of pollution that are due to the fact that we have a digital system. So when we talk about the green house gases emitted by our digital systems, today that's the same amount as the entirety of the emissions of all the trucks worldwide. It grows by 10% every year. On top of that there are other kind of pollutions, such as the one caused by the minerals and hydrocarbon extraction. There are between 40 and 60 different metals in a smartphone or a computer, which means that between 40 and 60 times we've had to dig a hole in the soil, refine metals ie metallurgy, and all of that is part of industrial process which will always be generating pollution"

The green house gases emissions, where do they come from ?

"
- keeping the data centers up, that's 20%

- the manufacturing of all the terminals (smartphone, computer) and networking gear is roughly 50%

- using those terminals is roughly 1/3
"

What consumes the most on the internet?

"Today, video uses 80% of the total bandwidth. Netflix alone uses 13% of the world's internet bandwidth. Netflix is an absolute disaster in terms of greenhouse gases"

At my scale, what can I do?

The first useful thing you can do, save for stopping watching videos, so starting now you can switch the flip and stop listening to me -- but otherwise use a resolution as low as possible, because the higher the resolution, the more you need to send a high quantity of information so the video can be correctly displayed.

Second thing we can do is to not watch too many, we can avoid sending the video of our youngest child to the whole world, who generally doesn't care. If you have a netflix account you can also terminate it, that's also something that is part of digital soberness"

Digital soberness?

"If you're like, I don't limit my usages, so after I buy one screen I buy a bigger one, and then after having one screen at home I buy a second one then three then four, and after a smartphone I get a second one etc, we can ask engineers to make miracles, they will never catch up to the speed at which the increase in usage is. If we want to limit digital pollution there is only one way, it's to limit the usages:
no, the connected dog collar I don't need, the connected watch I don't need, the connected fridge I don't need"

At a bigger scale, what can we do ?

We do should _not_ deploy 5G. That's a policy, it's solely in the hands of the public authorities to say "we're not doing 5G" or "we won't do autonomous vehicles" which probably is, in terms of data bandwidth, not compatible with digital soberness"

I wonder if they’re aware that Office macros have been a common attack vector for the last two decades.

If they have to redo all their forms anyway, I’d figure they’d at least consider using an Office suite that doesn’t support active content.

Please see the link I added. You should check your employment contract to see the exact terms of the copyright assignment clause you signed, but it's definitely very common to have to assign any inventions you make that are "related to your employers area of work", regardless of what hardware you use or if you do it in the office or at home.

I've just tested both `intel-svt-hevc` and `intel-svt-av1` from AUR on my 8-core i7-4790. Here are the results:

Initial file:
sintel.y4m 1280x544 21G

HEVC:
FPS: 140.65, File size: 114M

AV1:
FPS: 34.891, File size: 39M

Default profiles, since I'm not very familiar with AV1. HEVC is only 4 times faster here, but the AV1's output is 3 times more concise.

So AV1 looks very promising considering it's in its infancy yet.

What's a Linux User?
It’s similar in the US. If contributing less then 20% you have to pay PMI (mortgage insurance). This may add a few $100s per month to your payment but in no way contributes to the principal. It works against you in other ways because it limits your upper price limit as banks want your payments to be within 30% of your AGI
What a long, and winding path my Ofoto account has taken.
it can be, but it sets you up to learn for the wrong motivation. it would be better for students to learn to push themselves for their own sake and not for sake of competing with others.

it also will hurt them in the long run at work. while in many companies employees do compete, these kind of workplaces are always toxic and not a good place to work at.

in a good workplace people cooperate, and that is something they need to learn in school.

Your nice car is expensive and unused 90-95% of the time (if you're an average driver).

So, what are reasons not to own a car in the age of self-driving cars?

- it could be cheaper for a lot of people

- you'd be more flexible: use a small car to commute, a big car for shopping etc.

- there would be enough self-driving shared cars available so you never have to wait a long time to arrive

- it saves a lot of resources if less cars have to be built and their utilization is higher

- you can drive new cars as soon as they are added to the pool of shared cars

- you don't have to deal with car maintenance

- you are more likely to use your bicycle / ebike

Here are some reasons against using shared cars:

- mass surveillance - monitoring the movement of almost every citizen

- shared cars may not be as clean as your own

- can't store items in shared cars (baby seats!)

- favourite car may not be available all the time

- there may not be enough shared cars avaialble in your area, especially if you don't live in a city

- you have special requirements such as baby seats, 4WD or you want to drive a particular car model all the time

- prestige
Good write up. I wonder if people would have such a problem with these scooters, if they simply sat upright when left instead of falling over. Most photos I see of these scooters, are "piles" of them, or them strewn on the sidewalk. Even with kickstands, I doubt users would leave them in neat order - however I wonder if there's an engineering solution that would prevent them from falling, or at least encourage people to be neat.
Such a "solution" would be a PITA. I for one am using my phone many times during a work day for personal stuff (e.g. messaging with my wife), and I am also often using it for work stuff in my free time (e.g. replying to email from my boss). I would go insane if I had to switch profiles every other time I had to do accomplish simple task in my phone.
Taxpayer money at work!

After all these major hacks formerly personal details are now available in the open, so maybe privacy rules could be modified to exclude email, photo, address, and several other details widely available on the Internet....

Same level of protection (next to none), but significantly lower costs of compliance for those who don't collect beyond those few key items.
Crack down harshly without consideration of any mitigating circumstances the same normal "tough on crime" policies never applied to those with resources to defend themselves.

You could work backwards by looking at how the "Brexit party" managed to split and regenerate from UKIP to run a campaign across all the Euro election seats in a matter of months. Where did that come from? They claim to have raised ""£750,000 in donations online, all in small sums of less than £500" in their first ten days"; given that Farage is currently under investigation for his funding https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/may/21/eu-investig... , it might be worth considering alternative explanations.

To be fair, BBC's sole reason for investing in Dirac (to my understanding) was to fit HD quality video into the pipes for an SD production system. As far as I know, it satisfied that purpose for them, so the project can be considered a success from that standpoint.
In Germany for example most companies in the automotive space require all contractors to conform to the [TiSAX](https://enx.com/tisax/tisax-en.html) regulations.

These state, that there needs to be proof of several data security aspects on all devices of all people working in a facility for one of these companies/clients as a contractor:

- Anti Virus software up to date
- Firewall active
- Harddisk encrypted
- Ability to remotely lock device
- Ability to remotely wipe device

To ensure that this is in place at all times on all devices one needs a programatic solution - Endpoint Management. And as this needs to be root (for remote wipe) - this could be seen as spyware (as I like to call it internally).

So yeah - there are a lot of companies/industries enforcing this. As someone above said - banking is another industry, insurance, medical and other high profile stuff with sensitive data might come to mind.

The text does not say this - but this I added just from experience. And I actually hope that someday companies like mine could go the Apple way and ensure Endpoint Management on a per user account basis. That way I could still take home my company laptop and use it privately with a different user.
This is the first I've heard of people tampering with the brake systems - it's incredibly malicious. I understand some people might be frustrated by the scooters, but is manslaughter really the right way to go about it?

The problem is that most MDM solutions want to take over your device. At my employer, the MDM solution literally takes over your entire device. I've installed the solution on an iPhone, and a Samsung Galaxy S8 (with and without Knox) with the same result. Unfortunately, the result is I carry two phones instead of one.

I think Apple's solution to the problem might work. As long as the companies data is separate from mine, what I do on my phone is private, and basic functionality like screenshots are available on my phone, the solution looks good to me.

Interesting; Intel is rumored to use TAGE but it was never confirmed officially. AMD claimed to use a perceptron based predictor in the past.
I suspect it could ironically help still - at least if compared to non-fertilized resource useage.
This is totally true and something a lot of people seem to forget about when they want to move out of their apartments to buy a house! I think the most important thing is to wait until you know your living situation is relatively stable (married, family, job, etc) so you can stay in your place 10+ years hopefully. Moving sucks!

And in Germany, at least as far as I am aware, these broad regulations some US employers try to force on their employees have been thrown out by court decisions. But not sure on that.

I would not work for a company that would try to ensure it owns all of what I do outside of company time.

Open source is about transparency, which covertly tweaking the wording of a thread is not.

Yet since this issue got some more attention user "mholt" has changed the thread, now merely strongly claiming it were open source but not actually publishing or referring to the closed source portions, unable to confirm there were none and it were something innocuous like a backport from Go 1.13.

Nonetheless a use of force, him keeping the right to develop the discussion further to himself but denying the same to others.

That is interesting loans are tax deductible in Denmark, I always thought that was just a US thing! From my understanding of the new federal tax law though, the higher standard deduction makes the mortgage tax credit less feasible for most people.

If I need double-sided boards I'll usually farm them out because it's an absolute faff. But if I need an really thin adapter to go from Wide SOP to Thin SOP (typically for replacing blown Flash chips), I'll make a board. When you ask a large PCB fab for anything that isn't 1.6mm thick FR4 white-on-green and standard stackup, the prices rocket. (because they have to stop the line, set up for your custom run, then switch back)

If I just need one board to fix one radio, I'll coat a piece of Pyralux laminate or paper-thin FR4 in photoresist, expose it, etch it and cut it out with scissors.

For quick-run -- I was involved with a theming/prop building group a few years ago. Last-minute unforeseen issues weren't uncommon, and you just had to roll with it. Being able to spin a bodge-board in a couple of hours can be all that's needed to snatch success from the jaws of failure.
One way to think of AMP is as a solution to "When people click on links from search the pages often load very slowly. Can we make this instant?" Any preloading based solution has to involve caching, because otherwise sites could learn that they had shown up in your search results without you having clicked on then.

(Disclosure: I work at Google, not on AMP, and I'm only speaking for myself)
> There's not much upside to owning something that depreciates in value.

Sure, so why is the sofa rental company in the business of owning sofas?

You've got to ask the question from the other side. You're paying someone else's cost of ownership and interest and overhead and profit margin.

In practice what consumer goods rental competes with is consumer credit. People don't sit on the floor for months while they save up the $2000 for the sofa, they buy it on credit. Lots of places offer interest free credit too! e.g. https://www.dfs.co.uk/content/finance

For most people there is no "rest of the money".
Not OP, but I spent a decent amount of time working for Honeywell's armor industry. On of the things that caused me to quit was the unspoken but very palpable excitement exhibited by higher level managers every time a conflict was brewing somewhere in the world (it almost didn't matter who was involved, some side involved was almost always buying our products). It's not a very morally uplifting environment.
VPN's are not a privacy panacea. Hiding your internet traffic from e.g. your ISP comes at the cost of divulging it to the VPN provider. Apple has been very clear that they don't want to be in a position where they would have to turn over sensitive information about their users to authorities, a position they can avoid by not providing such a service.
Well who signs contracts like these? I mean really? And why? I really cannot understand anybody giving away that much of their live for an employer/the next paycheck.

Yeah - if I am really, really in a tight spot financially - for as long as it takes to crawl out of such a mess - ok. But regularly? Long term?

Help me to understand.

And I also do not understand how a company could find this morally acceptable to have this idea.

I mean is this really the norm in the US?
If the seller had a real estate agent then the seller already signed a contract to pay a fixed commission to the buyer's agent when the house is listed. Depending on the contract the seller signed, if there's no buyer's agent, usually the seller's agent's gets both the buyers agent's commission and the seller's agent's commission.

So you don't usually save money by not having a buyer's agent.

Not only the tech developed, but also studying the retrieved artifact: we don't have a ton of hardware that's spent 50 years in space.

If we're going to colonize the solar system, we have to learn how to build hardware to last in that environment.
Those are also true of the UK with its massive property bubble, although curiously landlords can deduct mortgage from tax but owner-occupiers can't.
