This does seem like a stupid simple solution. tumblr.com can continue being SFW, and then there'd be nsfwtumblr.com (or whatever) that contains "the good stuff". Retain account name uniqueness across both domains.
As someone who used Tumblr more like Dribbble and not for 'adult' content, I think this is a great move. I like Automattic as a company and I trust Matt will find a way to make Tumblr relevant again for creators without having to resort to the LCTG - lowest common traffic generator.

Google could provide exactly the same incentives to normal HTML pages that refrain from loading so much extra crap
(1) While we are at it, let’s stop externalizing costs to some other territories. And to really make things equal, we are going to price all other things equally at a global level with certain cost adjustments to account for shipping and geography and similar factors. Oh let’s not forget that all labor needs to be allowed multinational freedom of movement and migration to anywhere, similar to how much freedom multinational corporations enjoy. And probably going to need to unify all 195 nations into 1 global state too.

Then this little immigration and globalization issue will finally disappear, which would be fantastic for everyone.

(2) Or we can continue opening up the globalization box piece by piece because each change is really great for some groups and really bad for other groups, which only serves to heighten social conflict and wars like the trade war that has been happening. There will never be enough assistance provided for groups that are negatively impacted by globalization; governments are much too slow acting reactively and proactively.

You realize that most of the changes that you and others want to make are just as unrealistic solutions as the above, and only one is a permanent solution? Right? And as a result of the fragmentation of the world we find ourselves in, incremental changes will not solve anything really. You can move the tech hub or dominant economy somewhere else and it will end up getting restricted again because there will never be enough relief from crowding unless the tech hub becomes more decentralized like most other industries. Further, even being decentralized there will be incumbents created in Canada that will eventually find the changes to be undesirable just like the USA.

Canadians will eventually say China is ok but Indians are externalizing too many degree education costs. And there might be another trade war, and someone thinks they have the answer by moving the dominant economy somewhere else and the same issues will surface again.. and round and round we go in circles until people have finally had enough of kicking the can down the road, throwing the garbage over the wall, and the globalization wars and option 1 happens.

Tweet deleted, archive [1]:

> At a stealth startup, dozens of engineers relentlessly worked 20-hr days, for many weeks, and overcame many obstacles thrown at them with the vision to make the public internet native to real-time comms. They went live today, and end users are blown away by the result. Hats off:

It re-tweeted another [2]:

> #FortniteMiddleEastServers ARE OUT
> im from the middle east and the ping IS SO AMAZING

I'm guessing that's from this announcement [3]

> Today we’re excited to launch the Fortnite Middle East server region!

> Why did it take so long?

> In order to make this happen, we had to work with some of the world's largest cloud infrastructure companies to provide an awesome experience for players in the Middle East. Beyond servers, we also need low latency network connectivity to players. This has been a particular challenge in this part of the world given the number of countries, network providers, and varying levels of interconnection between them.

> In order to solve the networking challenge, we worked with a new partner to build out an optimized network to carry game traffic back to our cloud infrastructure in places where the existing networks did not meet our performance targets. This network is deployed on hardware running in data centers across the region with network connectivity to major end user ISPs and more than a half dozen terrestrial and subsea international private leased network circuits back to India.

I'm left a bit underwhelmed and confused. This sounds to me like lots of logistics and coordination to get things up, and probably cases where they go into a datacenter with 10x the requirements the datacenter has ever handled before, but.. 20 hour day for weeks? Why? Doing what?

And how is a "stealth startup" involved? Isn't this Epic Games -- the $15 billion, 28-year-old company with 1000+ employees [4] -- which to me seems like neither stealth nor startup?

We had these delivery robots in D.C. last year, but they disappeared. Any ideas on what went wrong in D.C.?

A German guy told me that was a German expression.

Which one of you is right?
No, I think you're missing the point:

To validly complain about an abstraction the abstraction should make reading the code (or other aspects, e.g. performance) worse.

Merely complaining that "it hides things" and that you "have to learn it to know what it does" is not a valid complaint.

That's literally what abstractions are supposed to do: hide things and introduce new things to learn (the abstraction.

So you can't use the fact than an abstraction like async/await hides things ("magic"), or introduces something new to learn, as an argument against it (unless you're against all abstractions, but this train has long sailed, and the question whether abstractions can be good is settled: yes, they can).

So, the whole point to judge an abstraction is whether the new thing it introduces makes things easier _after_ having learn it or not.

So far your arguments were just that it hides things (magic) and that callbacks made what happened clear (so, again, the hiding aspect).
We find that customers typically use session breadcrumbs to collect data around subsystems like Bluetooth and GPS to figure out what is going wrong. The 1%-failure use case is definitely a pattern we see quite a bit and we've had customers use our platform to figure out infrequent GPS tracking and Bluetooth connectivity problems.
> It is hardly surprising that these vehicles haven't been hugely successful.

Why do you say that they haven't been successful? At least in CA they, especially Prius, has done very well.
The chart shows that there was already a downward trend, but it really fell off a cliff after the announcement.

Also, for platforms with network effects, a drop-off (or even belief that there will be a drop-off) can do major damage to even unrelated communities on the platform. For example, Tumblr used to be a huge referrer for my startup, thanks to Tumblr's robust ADHD, dyslexia, and CFS communities who spread the word about our tools. We still get occasional traffic from posts, but I get the sense that those communities have been hollowed out by the perception that Tumblr is dead. I don't know if they've moved elsewhere (perhaps Twitter), but they sure aren't on Tumblr much anymore.

I certainly hope Automattic can revive Tumblr one way or another, but it seems like the smart play here would have been to announce that they'll be looking to find a way to restore the prior functionality, and then work out the details later. That way they can get a bump in traffic from the expectation that there will be a bigger community, which helps them regardless of the extent to which the ban is reversed.
If it has GEnx engines you have little to worry about. The easiest way to tell the difference is the GE has metal leading edges on the fan. The Trent fans are all cfrp.
We have that implemented in Rust too. It's a user-mode thread implementation called mioco. It's not used very much because the performance tends to be worse than 1:1 threads.

This is a lesson that we all learned during the NPTL/NGPT era [1] and have subsequently forgotten and will have to relearn.

It's not wrong. There is the standard for scientific proof, and then there is the standard for mathematical proof. If you abstain from sex, then you will not catch a disease while having sex. It's simple and reliable logic. It's more math than science. The conclusion is formally correct, and p=0 without p-hacking.
IIRC they used a similar tactic in "The Best of Both Worlds."
That's an insane statute to apply here.

It's a sales person offering to answer questions and (maybe? it's a bit unclear what the scope of "our services" is here) offer onboarding advice/assistance. Considering that to be "predatory pricing" would ban the sales and technical support processes of virtually any company.

What if there was a way to "ban" something by changing it's domain? What if there were two web apps with a linked backend? Let's say:

tumblargh.com
tumblarghR.com

When something is "banned" from tumblargh.com, it remains on tumblarghR.com, which is otherwise a mirror of tumblargh.com.

Not necessarily. There's the added complexity of having an additional electric powertrain, but many this enables many hybrids to concurrently remove the transmission that a conventional ICE car would have.

Prii didn't get their reputation for reliability by being unnecessarily complicated. Of course EVs are obviously simpler, but I'm not sure I'd say a Prius is more complicated than many ICE vehicles of today. Twin turbos and 10 speed autos aren't something exotic anymore -- those are available on the base trim of the F150.
This is certainly the case in the UK. Electricity usage has dropped by 9% meant 2010-2017[1], despite a growing population (and by 18% over a longer period).

Hopefully (from a convenience standpoint) driverless will be the solution. Could still be zero emissions. Hard to imagine half the country migrating to denser areas within 30 years.
>reasonably well known for his contributions to linguistics

It's been 20 years since I finished my BS in Linguistics, but back then his name came up in just about every meeting of every class. We spent a lot of time discussing/arguing about whether he was right or wrong. I had one professor who was convinced that Chomsky was wrong, but he hired a TA who was a big fan of Chomsky so that we could get 2 different perspectives.
My guess is because they've been marketing themselves extra well lately and tech folks are eating it up.

But publishers weren't doing that before AMP came out. What AMP does is provide a tangible thing devs can sell to higher ups in order to be allowed (or just given the time) to write less code and load fewer assets. AMP also helps search engines (not just Google) be able to preload websites without violating user's privacy, which seems like a good thing, no?

I honestly don't get all the hate AMP gets around here. From a consumer standpoint AMP provides nothing but benefits compared to what we had before.
I've been trickle charging for the last 3+ years I've owned a Tesla. I live in a condo and the HOA was ok with me pulling an extension from an existing 110V line and charging from it for a nominal fee (we agreed to $50/mo).

I got an electrician to pull an extension (cost ~$200). I have a non-driving commute and use the car mostly on the weekends, so it's worked out great vs the cost of installing a level-2 charger ($1000+).

tbf the Trent 1000 is one of two engine options on the 787; more have GE engines fitted so on the balance of probability your aircraft has a completely different engine anyway.

The ability to fly for extended distances on a single engine is something modern long haul aircraft are designed for and pilots trained for, and even if it's a RR-engined aircraft you're probably more likely to have engine issues with birdstrikes than the apparent metal fatigue issues with the Trent 1000. Looking at the size of those parts that apparently fell I'd feel more unsafe on the ground!

Well it's not my claim, but I think it must be what John means.

Otherwise, as you correctly point out, it's clearly just plain old competitive behavior.

Edit: thinking this through, the Automattic sales people aren't stupid, so they're not going to hand over a smoking gun by making an explicit offer that would be provable predatory pricing. But there's a hint there that might be the intention. In the original tweet, John has underlined in red the following phrase:

>To be clear, we don't charge anything for our services.

What is meant by "services"? I think Automattic would claim it's just the Special Projects services

On the other hand, it's maybe deliberately ambiguous: Possibly once contact is made more is on offer.

I would look at this

https://firstlaw.wordpress.com/2011/10/18/ashbys-law/

According to Fred Brooks, manager of the project to make the first operating system for a 360 mainframe, there is "essential complexity" which is intrinsic to the problem, and then "accidental complexity" which you bring to the table.

You cannot get complexity below the minimum required by the problem (Ashby) but you can reduce accidental complexity. The first time you do something, however, your solution will be too complex in some ways, and it is very hard to remove accidental complexity once you put it in for quite a few reasons.
That seems like a gross mischaracterization of the article. Their measurements show a huge effect from the AMP cache (average load time from 3.1s to 1.2s).

And that's a feature that's just not possible to support for arbitrary HTML. Just because you've repeated something that's not true a million times does not magically make it true. Cross-origin prefetching is not viable (privacy leaks, flaky browser support). And on the flip-side, same-origin serving can't be done securely with arbitrary HTML + JS.

I get that this won't make you hate AMP any less. But maybe the hate could be rooted in facts? It'd make it a lot easier to have a rational discussion about the subject.
That would be a pretty decent approach, but an EV cert does not assert that:

> This key belongs to the owner of this domain name AND this domain name matches this business name.

Instead, an EV cert comes with an extra name (the official business name) and then asserts:

> This key belongs to the owner of this domain name AND this key belongs to the owner of this other business name

Hence you get the image [1] of a website www.thesslstore.com but EV business name 'Rapid Web Services LLC'. Should that really mean that this counts as a 'verfied' domain that gets a tick-mark?

That said, switching to a system more like the first assertion, and going with the 'verified' tick mark could work. It would make validating EV certs a lot harder though, as it requires a more subjective judgement to make. (e.g. could you validate windows.com for the company microsoft? What about youtu.be for youtube) Making a wrong judgement here should look pretty bad for a cert-issuer.

> 1. the color of the beekeepers' skin is irrelevant and appears to have been an addition made by the poster

It's the title of the original post on the HuffPost.
I don't like the "what color is your function" post, because it presents Go's M:N solution as something new, when in fact it's just a user-mode implementation of threads just like NGPT was back in the early aughts. In fact, we have M:N in Rust too. It's not sufficient for people's performance needs, which is why async I/O exists. Either 1:1 threads or mioco might be sufficient for your performance needs; if so, you're free to use them and you won't have to worry about red or blue functions!
When you get paid less than $20 an hour, jumping through hoops for a $50 promotion is time better spent than working an extra shift.

And of course the less you get paid the less disposable income you have, so the ramp-up is pretty severe, but I think there are plenty of analogies one could cook up for themselves if they had a lick of empathy.
I 100% agree, not only are they much lower impact on the environment but from an implementation perspective are far simpler. I find it kind of funny that people talk about the future of travel and transit being automated electric cars that can pick one person up and take them to another predetermined place without the passenger's intervention. I immediately think it kinda sounds like a bus or a train. I think we have gotten into the habit of falling so in love with convoluted high tech solutions that we overlook the most basic and straightforward answers to these deep problems
The title of the page I’m looking at is the same as the post here, and is in a section entitled “Black Voices.” I don’t see where the poster changed anything.
Boeing is a company of truly stunning arrogance and greed. Boeing's case against Bombardier was when I had my personal "oh shit" moment and realized they'd started doing work with paper instead of doing work with wrenches. Any company which starts down that road has little chance of getting off, and it ends with dead people.

That's correct. The company where I am currently working at was using Slack but recently decided to stop paying for Slack and instead use Teams since they were already paying for a subscription to Office 365 for each employee.

I hate it. My colleagues hate it. The UI is terrible. Most of the time navigating between the channels is a pain and the UI is just horrendous.

I think the funniest thing that was released lately was the 6 emojis that you can use on a message(thumbs up, love heart ...).

The emojis are of bad quality and look like crap.

Anyway, you can't pay me enough to use this stuff and as the author said in this article, if and when I change jobs I will be making sure that the team I start on will not use this sorry excuse of bloatware.

I am a cheap customer using the fifth battery in my very old Nexus 5.

What Apple says is exactly correct. Battery replacements never hold charge as well as the original battery (in my case no longer manufactured). And spare batteries are of lesser quality.

They are also very cheap, about $9, so I don't care if I have to charge the phone twice every day, until it dies.

However, knowing the sue-for-anything culture in the USA, I back Apple on this one. The message about the battery is accurate, according to my own experience.

Now, the shenanigans with their special screws and tools, the everything glued inside, and removal of the audio plug, I will always be against.
