Strongly disagree. It’s way faster than a badly-implemented strawman (which is most media sites, admittedly), but markedly slower than implementing basically the same thing but without AMP.

AMP’s main benefit has been making it harder to do expensive things. (Not impossible, by a long shot; merely harder.) And they’re deliberately planning to scuttle that benefit by allowing you to run your own scripts (see worker-dom). At that point, I believe that the only benefit of AMP will be how Google search treats it, rather than anything about actual performance.
Most people would bother with this because they are not in the position to quit a $500k/year job and brag about it everywhere. Most people don't subscribe to existential nihilism and need to pay their bills so they can feed their children and afford better living conditions. Surely this career advice applies to them as much as to elitist coastal software engineers. In all the spare time you have not chasing meaningless and temporary satisfaction, maybe try developing some humility and empathy.
In my opinion the most likely explanation is that they actually have a decent engineering team.
Pull a Google?

I mean many of their actions, on the surface, could be euphemistically called "helping humanity" when in reality they're only helping Google.

Penalizing non-https sites: "we're making the web more secure" - and lock out advertisement surface to the benefit of our ads quasi-monopoly (admittedly, a weak case though)

Android Stagefreight bug: "we're disabling MMS to protect Android users" - and by the way close a channel for easy publishing with carrier billing that is part of the highly regulated 3G/4G stack

HTML5: "we're advancing the web and make it fully portable" - and also capture HTML standardization and make it so overcomplicated and never-ending that even MS (and long-time pioneer Opera) are forced-out of producing web browsers alltogether
Yes. Nobody borrows money and sits on the cash, they take loans to spend it.

In fact, due to fractional reserve banking, a multiple of the amount put into a savings account is loaned out and spent!
The liver processes glucose, which gets in the way of its normal ketone production.
Black Hat is like a $2k ~ $3k conference. Even though many people there are sponsored by their companies, it's still expensive and I suspect people who put this kind of value in this conference aren't going to sit around and put up with what they know is bullshit.

Another RTS-FPS hybrid that comes to mind is Battlezone 1&2. It catered to a very niche audience back in the day (1998) which may have doomed it, but I remember playing a demo of it and being blown away by it. I play it every now and and again and I believe still has some active players online.

Wrt BZ2 a remastered version is available on GoG / steam. A few of the original developers have kept the game patched and compatible with todays hardware / software.
There are a number of problems with this, but the main one is that people's perceptions of dishonesty, disingenuousness, and manipulation in others are terribly exaggerated. Odds are that the other person simply disagrees with you—and if their view seems obviously outrageous, wrong, or stupid, this is because people are much more divided than we realize. Disingenuousness exists, but the assumption of disingenuousness in others is nearly always wrong and comes out of a failure to understand how different someone else's experience is.

Users are much too quick to reach for explanations like "you must be a foreign agent" when even the public record of the other user's comments—let alone the private data we look at—show that to be trivially unlikely. Foreign agents exist, of course, but foreign agents as an explanatory device for things one finds provocative online is, to a first approximation, a fiction. Same for astroturfing, shills, and the other things users accuse each other of in arguments.

That doesn't mean ignoring the possibility of manipulation—it just means that we should look for evidence. I can tell you that when we look for evidence, we basically never find it. Even if we're being fooled by clever manipulation in some cases, it's painfully clear that in the overwhelming majority, there's no there there. What there is, is people reaching for 'disingenuousness' as a simple explanation for what they find painful and offensive.
That assumption blocks any solution. There's no way to resolve pain and offense without recognizing the experiences of the other side.

You mention China. I can tell you that all the flamewars I've seen about China since they started blazing in the last year or so have been examples of what I've said here.
How does one even begin to understand this script. I feel dumb.
Don't know what type of email he had received. Personally I think it's pretty OK for HR to contract me, but not by sending automatic/template emails.

Notice he said "(they) used the GitHub API to pull my email address", and GitHub API can be used to massively fetch these kind of information for automatic spamming.

Imagine one day you wake up in the morning by few dozens of automatic recruit emails inviting you for a job which don't fit your profile even a bit, will you be happy? This happened to me few times and I'm not very happy about it.

I agreed GitHub shouldn't take the blame because you can hide your email in the account setting, but I don't think he shouldn't be pissed off by the company who was spamming him.

Mikrotik has recently made bridging much saner, which makes their portfolio complete for datacenter use and pretty close on bridging users in the access layer.

Their CCR-series is very much bang per buck if L4-filtering is enough, which should be enough in today's world of end-to-end encrypted communications.

The CRS3xx-series as stated has become much saner with changes to bridging and with most features implemented are also worth the cost.

The upside with affordable devices and the licensing model they have, make it possible to keep cold spares available in case of disaster.

It does however make sense to study the management interfaces and disable all but SSH and HTTPS in order to minimize attack surface.
1.6 = 8/5

So n miles = 8n / 5 km

And m km = 5m / 8 miles

Fraction multiplication is actually much easier than decimal multiplication imo. I'm surprised so many people seem to avoid it. Keeping track of where the decimal point should be is a significant cognitive load.

I'm curious. Isn't buyback a kind of investment in yourself?

If you think that stock of your company is undervalued in the market, wouldn't it be reasonable that you would buyback your own stock? This can be seen as correct allocation of capital. Am I not seeing something?
Very interesting also is that you can directly send the error to intermediate layers through sparse random projections without the need for any layerwise backpropagation. This relaxation of the structure of the backward pass makes bp even more plausible from a biological perspective.

There is something deeply satisfying to me when a non-technical solution (sending a postcard) is used to solve what could be seen as a purely technical problem.

But I suppose it depends on which department is in charge of the project. In the places I've worked, if the project is deemed to be IT-related in any way, a "meatspace" solution like this would never see the light of day.
Both of those examples are put-it-on-a-card-and-worry-about-it-later territory for even normal, middle-class people. Super-wealthy is buying a yacht on a whim.
Just spent the last 15 minutes reading through their websites in quiet amazement. How do they get funding? Why do people pay them?

When your ‘director of cryptography’ has this in his bio, surely something’s up:

Another of their companies sells patches that relieves pain through the magic of quantum physics. Something about the energies of healing substances that unlock a pain relieving carrier wave.

Yikes.
I'm sufficiently good at understanding everyday engineering including related mathematics. I have no clue about this things apart from concepts that's read here and there. In half a century most of people with advanced knowledge will not be here, how do we are planning to pass on the understanding ? I think Khan academy for advance physics needed, or that would be too primitive to go deep enough ?

Depends on the type of network element required.

If I were doing data center switching, I'd buy something Broadcom based on which I could run something like Cumulus Linux.

For wifi, I like Unifi. For routers, Juniper is fine. Arista seems to be well-regarded in the switching space as well. Basically anything but Cisco.

That said, I haven't had to think about network elements for quite a few years.

Multi-planet battles while cool looking and fun are not balanced and most of the competitive matches are played with no orbital tech on single planet - these are quite similar to competitive matches in TotalA and really well balanced. If you play ladder or with people looking for competitive matches then it feels a lot more like old RTSes although you can still zoom out or send units in not so obvious ways (frontal attacks rarely work) which often makes for interesting surprises and strategies.

It takes a bit to get used to playing on planets instead of classic maps with borders but that’s what makes this game special.
I look at it this way: There are exactly two sources of funding for companies, equity and debt. As debt gets cheaper (interest rates going down), debt funding becomes more attractive relative to equity. So naturally, companies will shift more of their funding towards debt. It's not inherently a bad thing, but there are two issues:

One is that a new equilibrium will eventually be reached. At that point, buybacks will stop and it will hit EPS growth. I wonder if people are aware of what a huge chunk of EPS growth has been coming from buybacks in recent years. I fear the stock market may be in for a rude awakening when the buyback music stops.

The second issue is that debt has an expiry date whereas equity does not. Theoretically, the risk of not being able to roll over debt in a downturn should be reflected in the coupon a company has to pay on its debt.

We'll see whether corporate debt hasn't become too cheap already. We could once again be facing a situation where the effect of everyone having to do the same thing at the same time is not adequately priced in.

[1] YMMV. It is known.
Awesome. I've put in a full day of work and I'm finally chilling out with my kids playing Xbox, can't wait to "immediately" get my ass back on the road. Not exploitative at all.
I think that it's is a new model for startups:

Disrupt, grow quickly, wait until government start noticing, and liquidate everything before government and the competition start to adapt.

It's also about the trend/new product effect. People start to use it massively, then realize it's actually a bad idea or it becomes too expensive or because they never realized how expensive it is, and that's also where there is a loss of users.

Result? You have all those workers who have to do something else now, the competition's business is damaged and users want the benefits of the disruptive tech but it's not possible. It's a subtle cash grab by exploiting something that no law prevented.

All in all, that describes perfectly the ineffectiveness of short term capitalism. Unless a system is properly regulated, I doubt that the silicon valley can really pretend it's "changing the world". The DARPA and chip designers did. The rest is unsupervised chaos with cool toy fantasies.

If someone is physics PhD and makes the same conclusion as a random person, it's still the same abstraction, just that ones shows an implementation in physics while other in human words.
I obviously can’t speak for drivers but I have spoken to 2 who both said they preferred grab over Uber because they picked up many more customers.

I never used Uber because it was never cheaper than booking a taxi over the phone.

Grab did a lot more than Uber for their app too. Pretty much from day 1 you could type a taxi stand number in and it would pin the exact location. Uber couldn’t even come close to figuring out where I was standing. So personal booking and usage experience was far better than Uber for sure.
I keep hearing about this 'uber didn't lose the money' argument, but this also coincides with a hiring freeze. this comes at a time when talent for engineers is extremely hot. if everything was growing as you say, then it wouldn't make sense to start throwing things overboard
EC had explicit goal of "beer closer union", going cm to its immediate predecessor.

Some people claim it was sold as purely economic union, some claim it was well known goal back then.

But a lot of the rules that are supposedly so bad are rules that would be there in a purely economic union.
I count 185 "try" statements with only 162 "catch".

I don't know much about javascript, but could someone explain what happens with the 20 that don't get caught? Do they bubble up and get caught by another "catch"? Or is this indicative of lots of "holes" in the code path?
Can’t really blame Singapore tho. If they didn’t have a system as they do. The whole country would be in gridlock.

I've travelled to Japan a number of times over the past 10+ years. So, pre-smartphone to full mobile/data/maps/e-guidebook with Google Maps links/etc. Also Google Translate (although in practice I find that less useful).

What a difference it's made to getting around! I recall going back a number of years finding many specific things could be a real challenge. I remember wandering around for an hour once trying to find our office.
At the end of the day it's still a 10 years old company that has never made money.

Then follow the white rabbit and look around, there are many exploits. Your consciousness influences wave collapse (with a weight tho), that's a huge attack vector. Von Neumann had a good theory on this one.
That doesn't automatically mean that they need to hire more engineers. Maybe they also have a reasonable amount of them, and since the older products have matured their focus can be shifted to the newer products instead of hiring new people for new products.
The website seems to say absolutely nothing about what the zine is about, not one word...which I found strange.

I find this question extremely nonsensical, of course we live in a simulation, not necessarily a 'computer' simulation but a simulation nonetheless. It's not like we simply 'exist', there is quite obviously something supporting our continued existence or our existence would make no sense.
First class round-trip tickets across the US? Thats a thousand bucks. And $400 for a music player? Those are not normal expenditures for middle-class 20-year-olds (in 2007, before MP3 players were ubiquitous and inexpensive).

Regardless, I’m not saying these are only ever purchased by the ultra-wealthy. I’m saying this was the first sign anyone had that these kids had any money whatsoever. It turned out both have trust funds and are extraordinarily wealthy.

As a VN Grab user I love how superior the UX is for Grab than Uber. The subscription packages are great, GrabFood is great, the translation features, rewards system, mobile top up, etc... I don't look forward to returning to the US because I'll have to use Uber and Lyft which are behind Grab by miles.
You can have try/finally without the catch.
They don't (currently) issue dividends because the expectation is they will buy back their stock or will issue dividends in the future.

If a company never issued dividends and never bought back their own stock, then there would be no reason for investors to buy stocks in the first place. Most investors don't invest out of the goodness of their hearts, they invest to get a return on capital.
It's a safety in numbers thing. When there are 90 motorbikes and 20 cars at an intersection it's a lot safer to be riding a motorbike than in the US where you might see one or two motorbikes on your commute.

Well the main argument is that the politicians want companies to invest from the tax cuts into more jobs.

Where as companies, in reality, are just doing buy back which reward shareholders.

Whether buy back is an investment or not is up to whoever definition's and I guess can be up for debate. But I think it derail the main point which is tax cuts and low federal rates aren't incentivizing companies into investing but instead buyback.

Ok, fair enough. But then does that lead to a "fatal error" of some sort? I'm curious because I find AMP page quite buggy. ie. not loading at all. Or loading, then reloading a blank page. And thought maybe these were the "dead end" code paths.

> 2) They are improving the unit economics of ride sharing and that, if the trend continues, they will be positive in the future.

I think the main contention is that they could as well be at their max expansion right now.

Not in a purely hypothetical way, but because the actors of the market had the time to digest and react to Uber’s business.

In particular, drivers, legislators, scooter/bike rentals, etc. could be legitimately seen as forces stopping Uber from keeping with their business practices and business model.

I think the idea is useful for large groups however a simple "cool down period" is far too simple. Something like "10 messages an hour" would be far more useful I think as you can still have quick and efficient exchanges while preventing the ability for any single user to be dominant.

However even that is too simple. You would need to pair it with good UX so users aren't stuck without messages when someone is asking them a question.

I had heard similar advice before, so when I started a new job this past spring, I decided to try it out for myself. As I go through the day, I write down what I’ve accomplished. I closed out a ticket, helped someone fix a bug, went to a meeting, etc.

I pretty quickly noticed two things. First, I personally find this really motivating. For no one other than myself, I want to have a satisfying list at the end of the day. Second, neither I nor my boss are going to find this level of detail useful in a year. You need some way of aggregating (as the article mentions) “the big picture” over time. I’ve started using an app to help hierarchically aggregate these notes per time period, and it’s super useful.

Unfortunately, it’s not in a shareable state yet, but maybe one day. :)
IO bottlenecking shouldn't prevent parallelism helping.

One theoretical solution is to have millions of parallel queries, and rather than doing random reads to satisfy them, just read the whole table sequentially.

Query latency is high, but throughout is then unconstrained.
You’re pretty much getting it, this whole thread is based on some deeply flawed reasoning. The company gets some capital, buys back shares, where’s that capital going to go next? Unless the shareholders have decided that they no longer want returns on their capital, it’s going to be invested again somewhere else.
