I'm sorry if this is a misunderstanding but I thought you pay tax where you do business. So Facebook should be tax on profits generated in the UK - but they play with their corporate structures to make it look like they aren't actually doing any trade here.
This isn't a global warming story. This is a Keys corruption story. Here are typical road costs in Florida: https://www.fdot.gov/programmanagement/estimates/lre/costper... . Note that $25 million per mile is much larger than the cost to build a new 6 lane urban interstate.

Yes, it does cost more to build on the islands. From the experience of building my dad's house in the Keys, things tend to cost about 4 times as much as on the mainland. Most of that is due to theft and embezzlement, such as https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/florida-key.... This stuff is very, very common, as in "just happened to my dad last Saturday" common.

I'm not sure if the county is just creating a high price as just a way of justifying a "no", or if they are taking into account the actual cost of building including all the corruption.
Who would prosecute it? The prosecutors are the ones committing the crimes here.

Why doesn’t GCP use AWS’s feature announcement style and have a little blog written that walks the developer through how to use it?

So much better to get an immediate feel for a service.
I have no idea about ice, but road degradation is fairly well studied (admittedly I'm learning about it as I find these):

https://higherlogicdownload.s3.amazonaws.com/IPWEA/c7e19de0-...

> For example, a vehicle with an axle weight of 1000 kg is considered to cause 16 times the damage compared with a vehicle with an axle weight of 500 kg.

It seems the 4th power law might actually be more accurate than I thought. If the vehicles can damage the road proportional the fourth power of their weight, surely there is significantly more wear on the wheels (the only part touching the road) than just a linear increase in weight?

My hunch, and again I want someone to provide a more accurate model, is the wear would be proportional the third power of weight.

EDIT: I found something, and it is complicated.

https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/16878140177000...

Figure 6 is what we're interested in, although you won't understand it without reading everything before it. It's definitely not linear, but it seems to roughly come out to something like the 3rd power, but it really depends (honestly you should click that link, there are so many variables).

EDIT EDIT: Here we go!

https://www.academia.edu/24153619/Tyre_Wear_Model_Validation...

So it seems to be somewhere between the second and third power of weight.

Assuming tire wear is directly proportional to particle emissions (I have no idea if this is true), that would mean (using the 80% of emissions coming from tires number cited in an earlier comment, and EVs being roughly 10% heavier on average) that EVs are actually worse for air quality! This is lumping together brakes and tires though, which could be wrong. Although I am certain there is at least a second power effect from braking from vehicle weight. But as another commenter mentioned, regenerative braking (while not unique to electric vehicles, I think this is a fair contrast) will benefit the EV greatly here. Also it's worth mentioning that while EVs lose, it's not by a huge amount (but it seems to be enough to be measurable).

So like most things, "it's complicated."
Personally, I think there is a big difference between busy and occupied and lazy and idle. I love being productive / occupied, yet I hate being busy. And that has nothing to do with stress or pressure, but rather with impact.

And yes, being busy resulted in a couple of less than perfect decisions on my behalf. The worst ones just for the sake of doing and deciding something.

Not sure.

Wouldn’t classify biofilms as a disorder, it’s how many bacterial, parasitic, and fungal infections work. It’s a mechanism for survival for these pathogens. Just because pharma companies and our corrupt medical system ignorantly ignored them doesn’t mean they haven’t been an ongoing health issue for all mammals on this planet forever basically.

Plasma EMF therapy is something I’ve tried but it requires proximity and a frequency generator tuned to specific frequencies to target biofilms. While the sun is the largest emitter of plasma available we can’t exactly tune it to a specific frequency, you get what you get depending on UV and weather conditions that day. I can tell you sun light is a disinfectant for some pathogens but for Lyme disease biofilms I can’t tell you.

Hyperbaric oxygen chambers work because they’re pressurized. The medication Alinia also has action against biofilms and cyst forms of Lyme disease although more research is needed.

"should be easily managed for updating content "

This is the key point for me. Who will be managing/updating the content ? If it is users who are non technical, then you have limited options and you can go with something like WordPress. The reason is that if you use those static site generators which are awesome btw, the non tech. users will be limited. Not to mention they will have no WYSIWYG builders to work with.

So the answer is it depends. If the people making changes/updates are technical enough, static site builders are great. If not, then go with something like WordPress.
I would say also STOP using Google Analytics, Google CDNs, Google fonts, Youtube for hosting your content and all the spying 3rd party services. It's perfectly doable to have a commercial website without them.

Of course AMP has other motives than simply making the web faster for mobile, but it also does make the web faster for mobile. I guarantee the AMP version of that paper's mobile website provided a significantly better user experience than the normal version. That is why AMP has been successful, and it's why I will continue to click on AMP links whenever available.

Is giving Google that much control ideal? Of course not, but from a user perspective it's a hell of a lot better than the alternative.
> even basic fluency monitoring without any active remediation attempts would be a good addition.

How do you define fluency? I guess it involves some combination of speed and accuracy. Speed shouldn't be too hard to measure, but for accuracy you'll probably need a model that's more accurate than 7.5% WER and can handle the difference in vocal range between children and adults. Otherwise the speech disfluencies you want to detect will be drowned out by the model not correctly recognizing actually pretty clear speech.

Google may have gotten worse, duckduckgo may have gotten better (I use DDG for most searches, so not sure) but the case for duckduckgo doesn't involve them having a great search team, since they don't have their own index.

I agree with you...I have long been saying that intellectual property (and that includes software) is going to either be subject to artificial scarcity (to me, the biggest evil * ), or horrible funding models like advertising.

Public funding makes a ton of sense, personally I think it is the only economically efficient solution, but doing it well is hard. I scanned your history here to see a bit more on where you are coming from (I agree with you on a lot of things), and I see that this is something you talk about a lot.

I notice you say elsewhere "the enemy is the state". That makes it tricky to say "the state should decide what stuff gets funded." I always tend to be up against that whenever I suggest that state funded IP makes sense. I still believe there is a way.

I have more thoughts on how we could actually move toward such things, my contact info is in my profile, feel free to email.

>Ironically, by creating AMP, google has disincentivized publishers from making their canonical pages faster.

In theory, maybe, but I think history has clearly demonstrated that publishers will not make their pages faster if AMP didn't exist. That's why AMP has been so successful in the first place.

You’re exactly right. There are two economic classes that are meaningfully different: Class A is N missed paychecks away from $0. N might be a small number for people who live paycheck to paycheck. It might be large for high earning professionals, and it might be “greater than my life expectancy” for retirees, but the common thread is if they stop working, their money goes down every day and will one day reach zero.

Class B is a different species. If they stop working, their money will still go up, indefinitely due to passive investments. The idea of getting to $0 is ridiculous because they get richer every day by doing nothing. Class B’s lifestyle is totally different than Class A.

Class A people like to invent all these other sub-classes to distance themselves from others in Class A: middle class. Upper middle class. Lower middle class. Middle upper middle class. It’s all pretty silly. We all have much more in common with each other than we do with people who get richer every day simply by existing.

Not just "a dozen random jurors", but rather "a dozen random jurors who individually usually don't want to be there and just want to go back home to eat and live their lives - and by the way, when is lunch?"

I've never been on a jury (and likely never will be - closest I got was "voir dire", and when I was questioned I inadvertently brought up the concept of a fully informed jury - and they dismissed all of us virtually then-and-there - that was over a decade ago and I have yet to be called for jury duty again), but from what I have read about other people who have, your fellow jurors, regardless of their intellect or life experience, really don't give a damn about seeking justice or truth, but rather the most expedient way to leave the whole thing behind and get back home.

Then - you get someone like me (who gets past voir dire of course) - who does want to get as close to the truth as possible by examining and questioning and discussing everything, and if there is any doubt - will not vote unanimously with everyone else (who just want to go home) - after being sent back to the juror's room a couple of times...well, most people would likely fold - because the other jurors gang up on them, scream, threaten to fight, argue, make other threats, etc - rather than actually do the job they were entrusted with - especially in a case where a person's life is at stake.

They are all quite selfish, and don't really care about the defendant, and almost actively hate a fellow juror who does care about the process, about what is at stake, and about coming to the most just conclusion (especially if that conclusion is "the law is wrong"). Jurors tend to forget that the jury is one of their most important Constitutional rights and duty as citizens in the United States; as the saying goes,

“A man's rights rest in three boxes. The ballot box, the jury box, and the cartridge box.”

Let's hope we never again need to use the last one, which is why the jury box is so important.
I don't think it's relevant to answering the question "Should I use DDG". I do think it's relevant to know DDG doesn't provide diversity in search results.

It would have been interesting if Google had openly added the same incentive (access to carousel at top of search results, search prioritization, special marker (lightning symbol)) to pages that follow the same guidelines AMP enforces (generally, avoid techniques that block page rendering or cause large layout changes), and published AMP as a reference implementation.

This doesn't seem nearly as bad as 'hijacking' implies.

> The attacker can now inject arbitrary payloads into the ongoing encrypted connection using the inferred ACK and next sequence number.

First, it's hard to get to this point. Then, you're injecting garbage because you don't know the payload encryption keys. So it's just disruptive, even though yes technically it is 'hijacking'.

Unless I missed something, of course! I found the writeup to be vague on the payload encryption point. It should have explicitly stated the impact one way or the other.

> if they've bought into it being wholesome and "valuable"

I don't know if that's a representative opinion. Ads are ads. Having the host read copy doesn't tell me anything about whether the product works for me.

There's a scene in Fight Club where Brad Pitt gestures at a bus stop men's underwear ad with a chiseled model on it and says dismissively "Is that what real men look like?"

Moments later, he is shirtless, with a perfectly chiseled body (that fitness trainers will tell you is impossible to keep year-round) fighting waiters and parking lot attendants.

The movie itself is an ad. It would never have sold well if two schlubby middle-aged actors had been cast to play it.
> 1. When switching tabs (ctrl + tab), instead of simply moving there, it showed a menu. This means I need to use that tiny menu to decipher which tab I’m on, instead of the entire background.

Now this is wonderful in my opinion because it can be configured to cycle in the order in which you visited the tab last. I currently have over 100 tabs open and it helps immensely.
> We built cool things like a canvas-based Visio-like UI that could be used to define VMs / containers / networks and provision at the touch of a button. Similarly the solution itself would be visualised using a diagram that supported dynamic components like links showing traffic, counters, graphs etc that would show traffic running between the VMs inside the demo.

Nifty! What frontend/backend dev stack did you use? Does anything like that exist in OSS, for any virt platform?
The discussions are very interesting, but I'm not sure they are going anywhere. Sixels might win by default. It's not a bad thing. Sixels in 16m colors are quite versatile. But let's suppose that, eventually, a better standard for terminal image support might emerge.

Anything that can already support sixels won't be too hard to change to support this new standard, unless it doesn't use pixels -- though it would be neat if this standard was vector based, like ReGIS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReGIS - I want SVG in my terminal :-)

For now, sixels already work reliably for most of the things I do. So now, I concentrate on the applications, to make sure most of my workflow can be console based.
