>The CO2 is not new emission, but is just displaced

How do you figure? It wasn't going to be burned before. Now it is.

The sustainable way to make jet fuel would be some kind of renewable-powered carbon sequestration - for example, the process described in the paper, but fed with biomass. Burning old plastic is just fossil fuel with extra steps - looked at another way, it's a way to make fossil fuel cheaper by making it earn money as plastic before it gets burned. It's not a win.

They're not but I don't think the form of government is the key factor as much as how trade works on the ground with China.

Vietnam IMO would likely be more than receptive to lots of new business, possibly making a point not "be like China" in order to assure such business.

It's not implied that it's something completely new, although a dozen of the sub-projects are new projects rather than forks of existing ones. The overall project is not simply a fork of the Android Open Source Project with hardening. That's a subset of the work, and a big part of it. I also added a paragraph to the placeholder index page clarifying the longer-term plans with virtualization: https://grapheneos.org/#roadmap.

GrapheneOS includes sub-projects including standalone projects like https://github.com/GrapheneOS/Auditor and https://github.com/GrapheneOS/hardened_malloc that are portable to other operating systems. This also applies to a lot of work that's under active development and not yet published as part of the stable releases.

It intentionally doesn't stick to the Compatibility Definition Document / Compatibility Test Suite requirements required to be Android, so it can't be referred to as Android, but rather it's an OS with Android app compatibility. It preserves what's actually needed for compatibility in practice, while not being strictly bound by those requirements. The intentional deviations from these are documented, and there are a bunch of them.

> Lastly, I wonder how this will do over time considering Fuschia.

If it ends up shipping as a replacement for the core OS, with Android running in a virtual machine or on top of a compatibility layer like gVisor, that would just mean that there's a better base to build on than before. All of the work done by the project would still be relevant in a future like that. I'm not so sure that's truly going to happen though.

I would certainly prefer that you not do that, but I don't think I should be able to to compel you not to. this is sort of a weird example because there's no clear benefit to posting your password.

a similar example: you and I both live in the same apartment building. you really hate my best friend and don't want them to know where you live. my best friend already knows that you and I live in the same apartment building. should you be able to prevent me from giving my address to my friend so we can hang out?

OK, logical pathnames are not solid. Agreed.

Types and subtypes were a very late decision and not in CLtL2 I believe.

Those lack of exact error descriptions is also in most other standards, and many are implementation defined. CL set the first standard there with its strict formalization even for the most mundane forms. Still very solid to me. I'm still fighting daily with the C standards which should know better by now.

What kind of anti-virus is required on a Mac? (Not debating, just curious.) I work for a FAANG on fairly sensitive projects and I’ve never heard of anyone in my org having anti-virus. FileVault, remote wipe, etc., but not anti-virus. Are their credible anti-virus systems form Mac and Linux?
Latency to remote servers isn’t half a millisecond. A click off from google would normally take a second or two to render and be much worse at the p95 page load time.

With AMP, this is cut down to tens of milliseconds.
Pretty sure it would still be links behind the scenes. The argument is only for user-facing links to „get simpler“ on the basis of links with tokens and whatnot being to complex and easy to get phished with. Don‘t forget, in Googles vision everyday users won‘t interact with keyboard/mouse or similar in the not too distant future. It‘s all Assistant and device-agnostic ambient computing.

I find that a hard sell to the average consumer. We’re talking people who plaster social media with every detail of their lives already... voluntarily... for free. Do you really think it ever even crosses their mind once where any of it was made, let alone what the consequences of that might mean?

Not that there couldn’t be some kind of compromise where they offer a “pro” model specifically assembled outside of China... I’m thinking a “Blackberry is for serious business” kind of campaign.

While there would no doubt be some serious money available from that market, that’s never been Apple’s MO, so it would be a major shift for the company and would likely skew their mojo. I mean that’s something IBM would do...

So many people in this thread complain about AMP being forced on them as an end user. Nobody forces you to use Google...

Just use another search engine like DuckDuckGo. It is sufficient for over 90% of my searches and I haven’t seen an amp page in ages.

AMP for SEO is another discussion, in that case it is kind of forced on you if you want to rank high on the Googlenet.

I'm an '82 PhD mathematician who has used TeX and LaTeX since near their beginnings, to typeset math papers. There was a long period when TeX was essentially instantaneous, while LaTeX was plodding. Also, if one pried into various LaTeX packages, there was a general tone "User won't do this for themselves or even know we're doing this, so let's also clean up this related situation" that felt like coming home to find a team of house cleaners crawling up your chimney with toothbrushes. Directing mathematicians is like herding wolves; this didn't sit well with everyone.

Struggling to agree on TeX vs LaTeX for collaborative projects, I ended up writing a few pages "begin.tex" that at least managed automatic theorem numbering and reference handling, and a few other basics, so we could live without LaTeX. This too was essentially instantaneous, and spread from collaborator to collaborator for a few years until machines got faster.

Speed matters: Look at the Vim / Neovim split. Some found the Vim delays acceptable, while others had a vision of the future that required far more sophisticated evolutions to not impose user delays. Vim was forced to catch up.

I'm sure it can be a kind of lonely around here for Catholics. For what it's worth, while I'm no longer conventionally religious, and while even in my religious days the Catholics were considered to barely qualify for heaven (Evangelicals being Evangelicals), I've come to have a somewhat more nuanced perspective on 'you guys'.

And I definitely think having views like yours over here is a benefit to the 'community'.
Well, they have to give your location information to the government. I think it's a bit naive to expect a company to keep your data secret from the Feds. They're just as subject to the law as we are.

If we use electronic devices at all, we're just best advised to operate as if the government has access to anything we say, write, or record on them. That includes our locations. If you're going to see your weed man, or your mistress, you probably want to leave it at home. And no, don't bother buying a "burner" because they can track that too.

All that said, companies should try to keep your location information secret from anyone other than the government. One of the issues right now is that they don't. They make good money using location to target ads for instance.
"I want that site not a google cache of it" might be true for you, but for me, I don't want the site so much as the article or product listing, and for most users, they don't know that it's a google cache of it.

I think AMP provides the tools for a good UX but many sites don't provide it because they want the user to go to their site, because they mistakenly don't think they can get enough ad revenue or CTAs to get the user to sign up for mailing lists or add a product to a shopping cart on the AMP page. These are supported. So they only show an excerpt of the article on the AMP page and you have to go to the site in order to get it.
The article makes an early mistake in describing the IETF as "membership based". Nope. You cannot join or leave the IETF, it has no members, everybody who is interested can and should participate. It likewise confuses itself by insisting on calling the hum a "vote" even though it acknowledges that humming mustn't be used to try to enumerate support which is exactly the point of voting.

The IETF process works because of _what it's for_ and could not usefully be replicated in contentious political environments. Rough consensus and running code builds SMTP but it doesn't end the Troubles in Northern Ireland.

Because the IETF deliberately has no actual power, in the end the worst that can happen is you didn't agree anything and have to roll your own. You are "at" the IETF (many people never attend a physical meeting, and that's fine) to reach an agreement, and if you can't agree then too bad but it cannot stop you pressing on anyway.

This part of the model also worked for CA/B. CA/B initially exists as a meeting between two groups that both want something, the Certificate Authorities want a sales promotion tool and the Browser Vendors want better validation. But the CA/B meeting lived on long after that discussion bore fruit, because it turns out that _agreeing_ among yourselves is much better for everybody than if you all just do whatever you want and hope it works out.

All of Google myriad of properties benefit from being able to limit competitors web page size, limit their technology use, restrict advertising and gating them behind your own servers.

Plus on top, Google doesn't have to do any of that shit themselves and can gleefully put themselves at the top of every search (and are doing with an ever expanding array of search terms).

As well as increasing the cost of developing a site to compete with any of Google's myriad properties, by having to support HTML and Google's proprietary AMP, that they're pretending is an open standard but is completely under their control.
You don't use a photo management application because the file-system exposes photos as files. It is like saying -- in java parlance -- I am perfectly fine using object for everything -- I don't need any other data type. In the hypothetical system I proposed, the photo store would be exposed via an application like Explorer/Finder -- just tailored for viewing photos.

Compressed files are containers for files -- they are nothing on their own.

> Applications themselves are files.

Sure -- they go into ApplicationStore -- which tailored for say, quick application discovery and launch.

> Who owns all the unassigned stuff? T

What exactly is the unassigned stuff? Files taken from other machines? I don't see why they can't be put into an appropriate store based on type.

> I create my own file formats.

I assume you create your own file formats because you develop your own applications? In that case, your application will be the owner of the file in question.

A different way to see the watch to be more productive so, take action
Tufte has a lot to say about this (and many viz things) - worth reading his books, really. The general guideline I try to remember is "facilitate comparison" (present things that you want the viewer to compare/see near each other) and "maximize data/ink ratio" (put as much data, and as little other stuff, on the page). The latter, in particular, tells us to reduce lines from tables as much as possible; I often find just one (not the three this approach recommends) to be plenty, depending on the data. That is, just the line separating header and data. Of course, YMMV :)
That is where I got the idea. :-)
> Obviously they can be made outside of China

From what I understand, this is not so obvious.

There is a ton of parts that only Chinese manufacturer produce at scale, and I wonder if some of them can even be produced elsewhere at any reasonable price in a reasonable time frame (if it takes 10 years to rebuild a factory elsewhere, or if it's only produceable at CERN, I'd conclude it's not an option)

Do we have any single example of a high scale computing product produced without any Chinese part at this point ?
But can they make any products at all without Chinese Rare Earth materials? Production is at the end... I believe that is the Ace in the sleeve. Just jack the price of rare earth minerals 1000%, or temporarily halt production. It won't matter what country they are manufactured in if you can't get all of the parts you need, or get them economically...

Growth of Iphone sales has stagnated, making Wall St more than a little upset. I suspect this is why we are seeing more investment in the Mac Pro, the Ipad, and OSX after being ignored for so long.

I doubt Apple would be willing to lower their profit margins in such an environment. Apple’s P/E is already well below the S&P 500 (16 vs 21) and I don’t think they want to slip into value territory any time soon.
We used to have an engineer who used this maneuver. He abused it because it was effective. We do have an issue on our team with engineers being indifferent to new ideas, and our manager loves consensus. Regardless, this engineer thought his ideas were always "good ideas." They weren't. He was eventually chewed out by our manager because he was becoming a passive-aggressive tyrant. He left the company soon after that.

In my experience, hierarchy (explicit/implicit) is necessary to conclude differences which are grey. In fact, there are cases where I have seen one side make their points logically enough that they are basically black & white and the other side sticking their guns saying "good points, but I think I would prefer to go ...". One might rightfully say the issue is deeper but we don't always have the luxury of choosing the most well fitting team. Somebody with the authority (granted/earned) has to step in and say "I have heard all sides and this is what we are going to do". Saves endless bickering over never ending e-mail chains.
Which services that support U2F do not support multiple devices (that you care about)?
I think this is a sign of stagnating development on the frontend. You have all these zealous developers trying to just do something new, better, different - eventually it leads to consuming itself, to the point where old, widely accepted standards are broken in the name of novelty, with no concern for the UX.

The same self-consumption can also be seen in the cryptocurrency space.
