This won't get traction.

It'd be better to declare a new doctype and use a reduced html. Just make it simple and make ads and JS bloat impossible.

Enforcing ssl is kind of silly since browsers are starting to do that anyway independent of this. It's orthogonal.
There was a post on HN the other day where the Instagram algo was discussed - look at something once and see it for the next three weeks.

Oddly, at some point it's decided I like to see pictures of old hifi equipment and Walkmans in particular. Turns out there's a massive community of collectors and displayers, and the pictures are actually pretty great.

It also reminded me just how great 'tech' was back then. I was a kid in the 80s and a teen in the 90s and it brought back memories of just how magical it all felt! Technology didn't feel like it was iterating as quickly, and things like a tiny Walkman with tiny earbud headphones playing a tape of a new band your friend had found, in a world that wasn't instant and connected - was everything.

...I remember when all this was fields... Sigh.
I’m pretty sure I couldn’t spend 5000 dollars by leaving my heating on the wrong setting for a month, unless the heater was set to turn my house to plasma... In the case of data plans, I don’t think the default should be to allow people to spend exorbitant amounts of money on overage fees without at least letting them know what’s going on. I knew a person who ended up with a 10k phone bill a few years ago roaming because they didn’t understand how roaming data costs worked. It’s obviously a dark pattern, and should require a certain level of opt in.

Thanks for this! A trip to the past, where flash was hero inside a table. After a messy 90’s where web looked like from the 80’s, the 2000’s is where creativity was at. Graphic design took center stage, and interaction experiments would take place in form of websites as if part of an art gallery.
A war on drugs is never noble.

It wasn't the Opium war (England wanting to keep cheap Opium supply from China), and it wasn't Nixon. Criminalization of drugs and declaring war on the cartels, whilst secretly supporting the cartels for their help in their fascist putsches. Civilized countries can fight the drug problem fine without declaring war, even if state actors are involved. (Eg Kosovo, ...)
I think what we've learned is that if you start a new support ticket about the same thing, the old one gets ignored.

The miner embeds their current (local) timestamp in the header, so there can be small variations. In fact the only requirement on the next timestamp is that it not be less than the median of the past 11 timestamps.

Once embedded in the header, everyone will agree on past timestamps as they agree on the chain with the most accumulated difficulty.

There was also the Barbary Slave Trade, which lasted until the early 19th Century and during which over a million Europeans were removed from Europe during raids and enslaved in North Africa. Not to mention slavery in Africa itself, which goes from pre-history to today. The Atlantic Slave Trade is a stain on the history of the West, but it is by no means unique.
It’s not meant to “get traction” in the Silicon Valley sense of “everyone must use this or there is DOOM”, it’s meant to be useful for the communities that use it.

No different than US volume measure where you actually need to have the "measuring cups". Weight is still easier, as you can refer to the reference range of 'large' and reproduce it on a scale.
They’re suggesting a web technology which would allow any website to host content for any other website, under the original site’s URL, as long as the bundle is signed by the original site. That could be quite interesting of a site like archive.org, as the url bar could show the original url.

But AMP is a much narrower technology, I’d imagine only Google would be able to impersonate other websites, essentially centralised as you say. The generic idea would just be a distraction to push AMP.

Everything would be so much better if the original websites were not so overloaded with trackers, ads and banners, then there would be no need for these “accelerated” versions.

In a tech sense, yes, it's nothing more than a wiki. The difference lies in the usage: wikis tend to organize their content using encyclopedic categories and hierarchies. A Zettelkasten is supposed to be much more goal-oriented, so that the right notes are found and interacted with depending on our work.

A large part of HTML, and a large part of modern browsers and other web technologies, are focused on ensuring that the publisher has control over the user's experience. I really like the fact that Gemini breaks that, and I hope that the project owners mercilessly reject any attempt to introduce features that allow the server to control or influence user experience.

I would really like to see structured text that is self-descriptive (e.g. this is the document title, this is a paragraph, this is a header, bullet list, etc.) but have no ability to influence HOW those things are displayed- eventually maybe we'll have browsers that can support rich theming, etc.

Others have noted that lack of images is an oversight. Perhaps the language needs a "binary file download" structure, and if the binary in question is a media file, then the browser could choose to display it. Maybe signal with mime types?
Eliminating the scourge of drugs in America was Nancy Reagan's brainchild, and it was a very laudable goal. The fact that it was so ham-fistedly and wrongly implemented, and co-opted for repressive purposes doesn't diminish the nobility of the original goal that gave birth to such a monster.
Even if it's not perfect, it's a significant step towards removing discoverability. The Google crawling will eventually drop the content associated with the username, making it massively more difficult for someone to dig up past history.

A motivated individual could still dig things up, but many people (even most users of reddit) are unfamiliar with the archives out there.
Regardless of your feelings on AMP, the premise of this article is wrong. Security standards and expectations are still exactly the same in this model. You see "google.com" in the address bar and trust that Google is serving you the right content.
I’m sure that would be an interesting read, is it available on a usable protocol?
Electrons occupying their orbital can be precisely measured in some aspects. Energy most prominently: An atom does have distinct energy levels for its electrons and an electron changing between two of those levels absorbs or emits the precise energy difference between those levels. Thats how emission and absorption lines come to be. Thats what is called quantized.

So if I see a certain emitted photon I can know precisely what the energy levels and angular momentum of the photon were before and after the emission. But I do not know its position or momentum.

MQSeries was not built on DB2. It may use DB2 XA for distributed transactions, important for what Jim Gray called “server pools” in the paper, but otherwise these are independent technologies.

I've been following a few different BASIC projects over the past few months, it seems that there is a sudden rise of them. Whether nostalgia, or just fun/learning/experimentation is to blame I can't say.

My own BASIC is very simple, but easy to embed/extend:

https://github.com/skx/gobasic

I sometimes consider extending it with WHILE/WEND, named functions, and similar. But then I remember the constraints are part of what makes it interesting to me.

I still remember the Christmas when I received 48k Spectrum, with my sisters. The tape-deck didn't work, so my sisters lost interest. I worked my way through the (spiral-bound orange) manual, typing BASIC and having a blast.

Later we got a cassette recorder which worked, and I started playing games, and hacking them for infinite lives. I think my initial love/enthusiasm for typing in BASIC programs directly lead to my career.
So it's decentralized because Google has multiple servers? And here I was, thinking that Google runs everything from a single IBM mainframe.

> they're having a second wave that looks like it will very soon eclipse the firs

Yes, that's what a spike means. And for the record, that's exactly what the Romanian Health minister called it two days ago, i.e. not a second wave, because in his opinion the first wave never stopped, but a spike.

> Sweden's case numbers haven't actually stopped growing.

I know that, and I'll answer that what I answered to other people online: this isn't a video game where we should chase the lowest number of cases the same way as we're chasing a score, this is real life where we should chase the less number of deaths possible. And in Sweden the number of deaths is definitely on a downward spiral.

We're going to have to live with this virus, many of us already do, there are not that many economical resources available to keep the majority of the population locked indoors (to say nothing of the psychic and mental effects this is having on the population).

> Blogs, [..] are perfect for the Gemini format.

> Gemini lacks in-line images

This is the only part that I don't really understand about Gemini. Even the most basic printed publications can include illustrations. <img> got added to HTML very early on because sometimes it's hard to share some piece of information in anything but a visual form.

I write a (mostly) technical blog that certainly focuses more on text content than images. I would be happy to throw away the header, sidebar and the rest of the "design" cruft (in fact my blog is perfectly usable in a browser that doesn't support CSS or Javascript) But I can't imagine having my posts without graphs, diagrams and photos inserted in the text.

If the fear is that in-line images would lead to frivolous use as ads or "useless multi-megabyte header images", then maybe a better approach would be to limit the number, or size, of images on each page? Some scientific publications do exactly that in an attempt to force the authors to focus on selecting only the most important images that need to accompany their papers.

Does NYTimes' use of Fastly subvert the meaning of the URL by literally covering it up in the address bar? Nope? Not the same thing, then.

Personally I don't think there's anything wrong with the fundamental concept of signed exchanges. The only problem is that it's just that: a signed exchange of content, which should have nothing to do with the domain name authority in the URL. By all means, display "Content from: a.com" in a box next to the URL, but don't change b.com to a.com in the URL as though it doesn't already have a well defined meaning.
Why? Because this stuff is in the kernel and thus harder to see? I don’t expect moving it to userspace to reduce overall complexity —- just move it elsewhere.
Interesting theory. One hole is that companies want to be on Google's results. It hurts WaPo not to be in the top N results, so they have an incentive to make it at least possible.
Yes, you are right, standing waves is the exact model that is used. All the measurement problems with e.g. location are just a consequences of that, some properties of a standing wave may be "smeared all over" the wave, like its location. And some interactions with the wave will change it. Quantized things are just standing waves of different order or "frequency" in a confined system.

You just understood 80% if quantum mechanics.
> Typically if it is accidental and a one off you do get a refund on those in my experience. Utilities all have bill shock policies.

Sure, but the real money comes from the non-shocking (while still exorbitant) bills.

I mean, let's say that you sign up your card for your daughter, expecting to be billed once 4.99.

Next month you discover you were billed 49.99 instead, as after the initial 4.99 there are another 9 similar bills, one very three days or so.

My guess is that you would call it a (modest) one-time loss, cancel whatever can be canceled, learn your lesson and get along.

But there will be hundreds, thousands of dads falling in the same trap (as it is a trap) that will do the same.

Anecdata (reversed), my mom a few years ago needed to get some hearing aids, they are a fairly recent model that can connect to the phone via bluetooth. Her phone at the time was not a smartphone, so we bought a new smartphone with the right bluetooth release/version.

She had a pre-paid contract with a very low fee for calls but an exorbitant one for internet connection, to make it short, she usually got along with 50 Euros every two month or so.

Surely it was an overlook by the telephone guys and by myself to not check the (several year old) contract at the light of the possible internet activity on the new phone.

Needless to say, in two day she was out of credit, no problem, we made a new contract, for more or less the same monthy fee with a free 2 or 4 GB internet traffic allotment, and went away with a net loss of some 25/30 Euro.

It does indeed seem that Assange has been (A) a Russian puppet, and (B) persecuted unjustly.

Even if Assange worked entirely at the direction of Russia, the Constitution of the USA explicitly prohibits laws that abridge the freedom of the press. If Assange was merely the publisher, rather than the leaker or hacker of classified information, then it's hard to argue that the USA government's position is apolitical in its nature. Indeed, that position would seem to be entirely dissociated from the most basic protections offered by USA law.

Politicians don't have infinite discretion to create laws where there are none, or to nullify legal protections that are explicitly stated in the Constitution. If they bag Assange and make an example of him, they do so at risk of diminishing the already strained rule of law in the USA.

Assange's persecution would be a huge win for Russia and China, because it would give those nations an opening to draw moral equivalence between their repressive actions and those of the USA.

On the other hand, Assange's persecution would do very little to dissuade future leakers and hackers, who will simply be more careful in choosing how to publish classified information.

The best thing for the USA to do would be to try Assange and find him "not guilty" if he was simply a publisher. The strength of the relationship between the USA, Britain, and Ecuador would be demonstrated, reinforcing American hegemony in Europe and Latin America. However, by reinforcing the inviolability of the First Amendment, the USA would rebuild some sense of exceptionalism among the world's powers. ("We're all powerful, but only the USA arrived at power with a healthy respect for human rights and strict adherence to the law above all.")
Exactly my question. Also why isn't the same allowed in 2d for the circle at the beginning?
That site is rather... biased. And for all of its pretense of being scientific, the page with country data fails to provide usable sources for its graphs (the tweet doesn't seem to exist anymore).

Also, at https://c19study.com/boulware.html, a study where the authors themselves say that they found to prevention of COVID-19 cases, the site tries very hard to spin the paper into positive results nonetheless. Some of the numbers cited, especially the primary claim that "COVID cases are reduced by [49%, 29%, 16%] respectively when taken within [2+, 3+, 4+] days of exposure.", are not sourced or explained properly. I can't see any data in the paper regarding the effects of interventions taken within 2 days of exposure, so I find it hard to believe that this is somehow derived from the paper's data and the authors just missed it.

I didn't look at all the other studies, but if most of the "positive" ones are similar, then I trust HCQ and its supporters even less than I did before.
I quite like the approach of https://www.kialo.com/explore/featured

The Chinese can't innovate or create is really just a relic of 90's racism+orientalism. Seriously, only if you believe somehow the Chinese people have different brain structure, there is absolutely no reason why they can't do what West can do.

Yes Chinese wasn't doing super innovative stuff back like 10 years ago.

Reason? Because they don't have to. There is easier money to make at a lower segment of the market that fits them better. The China back then is under developed, spending in R&D isn't something that would benefit them than simply importing last-gen Western technology.

Now they have educated themselves and clambbed up the value chain, that is when the innovations become profitable to them.

The West still enjoys some advantage, in certain key areas, but it is diminishing, and diminishing fast.
