Khashoggi was a long time Saudi intelligence operative who operated in Afghanistan during the Afghan Russian war, then was posted in the US embassy for several years as an intelligence officer, officially "advisor to the ambassador". He turned journalist and was very loyalist to the Saudi royalty. The ascension of the current monarch and his son turned him after power swapping that happened in Saudi, so he left and turned "activist". He held so much dirty laundry on the Saudi govt from his previous work that they saw him as a threat.
I doubt Ali Soufan or any other Saudi dissidents are seen as such a threat as Khashoggi.

POSSE is a great model. One of the problems is that there is no platform that reduces the friction of implementation. I have the technical ability to implement this myself on my own website, but I don't have the free time to set it all up and maintain all of the integrations with various platforms. And syndication is the creation side of the problem, but on the consumption side there's the issue of aggregating your friend's posts on other platforms into one place so you can keep up with everyone without remembering to check several different websites. That's arguably the more challenging part of making this model work at scale, and social networks actively prevent this by blocking API access and making it difficult to programmaticly access data within their platforms. I can't even subscribe to 2/3 of my content sources via RSS anymore.

For what its worth, a significant fraction of that is in the communication interfaces, and not from the ram itself, and there have already been significant process improvements to reduce ram power consumption. A modern 256GB RDIMM draws a heck of a lot less then 50w--I have never measured but based on the thermal solution I would say closer to 5w

Maybe this is history repeating itself: the story of the father of Chinese space program [1] was quite pertinent:

> During WWII, he was involved in the Manhattan Project, which ultimately led to the successful development of the first atomic bomb in America.

> During the Second Red Scare, in the 1950s, the US federal government accused him of communist sympathies. In 1950, despite protests by his colleagues, he was stripped of his security clearance. He decided to return to China...

> Upon his return, he helped lead the Chinese nuclear weapons program. This effort ultimately led to China's first successful atomic bomb test and hydrogen bomb test, making China the fifth nuclear weapons state, and achieving the fastest fission-to-fusion development in history.

> Qian was invited to visit the US ..., but he refused the invitation, having wanted a formal apology for his detention. In a reminiscence published in 2002, Marble stated that he believed Qian had "lost faith in the American government" but that he had "always had very warm feelings for the American people."

I agree that Amp can go to hell, but I'm very unsympathetic to these particular complaints:

> “The canonical page allows users to view and add comments, but the AMP article does not. This is often considered missing content by users.”

> “The canonical URL allows users to share content directly to diverse social media platforms. This feature is missing on the AMP page.”

> “The canonical page contains a media carousel that is missing or broken in the AMP version of the page.”

As far as I'm concerned, all that stuff is trash. I use ublock origin cosmetic filters to remove all that crap on every news site I read.

Why not necessarily on topic, I do wonder when this ruthless mindset will become viewed as a negative. Currently its perfectly normal to defend your dislikeable choices as business choices; because we are running a business.

I've had a couple ideas in the past for businesses that I always openly share with others in the nearest detail hoping someone would pick it up, with the thought that I don't wanna make money of it, I just want to have that product or service, simply because it's not there yet. I'm sure this mindset exists but I am unsure what a formal term might be. Utilitarian comes to mind but not quite.

Ask HN: How do you cope with phone distraction?
I am a young adult in my mid twenties with ADHD condition. For example, when I read some news, I can easily be lost in the rabbit holes of all the news and after 30 minute, I lose my ability to get back to the work. Thus, I have to deploy many tools to block all the media, social networks and news site. On my laptop, I have used Cold Turkey and to be honest, it makes my life a lot better. Now, the problem is with my phone. I use an iPhone 7 and have tried using the default screen time feature of iOS and an app called Freedom. But they are not as strong as ColdTurkey for MacOS. So I would like to know if you know any applications for phone to block distraction and how do you cope with distraction in general? Some of you might refer to will power, but I think it is not enough, we need technology to deal with technology problems. Thank you very much.
Thank you very much. I was really excited to read the article and became very disappointed but my take was too hot and insufficient. I definitely should have done better. Thank you for expanding my perspective.

Mars has more Earth-like gravity (should be significantly better for humans). It has a lot more water. It has a 25-ish hour day instead of 4-week day. (The latter may not matter to humans since we'd have to be inside most of the time anyway, but it matters for things like solar power.) Mars temperature is much better.

I'm still not saying we should settle Mars first, but it does have some real advantages.
On the one hand - yeah, AMP can go to hell. It's a massive overreach and, as pointed out, is getting awfully close to an actual attempt to rewrite the Web.

On the other hand, we probably wouldn't be in this situation if website owners didn't try to bog down their own websites with tens of MB of sheer garbage. Trimming the fat isn't a priority for website owners, so Google is trying to make it their priority. As long as sites think it's OK to lard up their sites with trackers, video ads, and all manner of nonsense, AMP will continue to be attractive to the end user.
I don't like this idea at all. By not saying "chemical imbalance" there's the possibility of implying that mental illness is about attitude or choice, which is a destructive comment that people who struggle with depression have to deal with a lot.

UN is toothless without the US. Alas, US populace is tired of being chastised for spending massively and making mistakes on Pax Americana[0]. So, the US will increasingly isolate and won’t have the will to stand up to Russia and China aggression, which they are aware of and increasingly taking advantage of in the last decade. UK, France, and India aren’t formidable; not that they’d be willing. As you wish, we’ll find out how effective the UN’s deterrence is in the next decade.

Last paragraph in the article has a few suggestions:

Or you could fight back. You could tell them to stuff it, and find ways to undermine their dominance. Use a different search engine, and convince your friends and family to do the same. Write to your elected officials and ask them to investigate Google’s monopoly. Stop using the Chrome browser. Ditch your Android phone. Turn off Google’s tracking of your every move.

And, for goodness sake, disable AMP on your website.

> AMP pages are fast to load (so fast to crawl), easy to understand (thanks to mandatory structured data), and devoid of any unwanted clutter or mess (as that breaks the standard).

Oh, how horrible it would be if the whole web were fast to load, easy to understand and devoid of unwanted clutter or mess.

I hate AMP because it makes my web experience slower and worse - lately it seems like Chrome on android has taken to loading broken "offline" versions of any suggested pages, making me refresh to read anything, and whenever a search takes me to reddit I have to edit the url to get a version that respects my page settings (and, strangely enough, loads a lot faster than the AMP version). But I don't see the chaos of the current web as inherently virtuous; encouraging web pages to load faster and be easier to read is absolutely something Google should be doing, and I'll certainly favour a search engine that prioritises fast, easy-to-read pages over one that doesn't.
Your initial action was the right one: step away from the problem, reset, and give enough time for the body's response to dissipate.

However, when you step away you need to have tools and support systems that allow you to escape the negative thoughts so you can walk back in after without fear. Everyone has different tools for this so I hesitate to recommend any one in particular as it is more just important that you find the tools that work for you and have them available.
I would like to know what the average user thinks of AMP. We techies are ok with a uncontrolled freewheeling web, but a lot of people have a problem with that and hate that experience.

> Trimming the fat isn't a priority for website owners, so Google is trying to make it their priority

No, Google is not. At least not with AMP.

AMP was the answer to Facebook News. If you want to get into the top spot in Google Search (the carousel) you have to 1) be a publisher and 2) use AMP.

That's the entire extent and purpose of AMP, no matter how much Google may pretend otherwise.
No worries. I didn't think you were being pedantic; I figured my comment wasn't worded clearly. Hope my reply didn't seem defensive? I was just trying to clarify.

But yeah, it's possible that Google does keep the records around, but don't surface it in the UI after six months for some reason. Could be an optimization, to keep the edge databases lean. Or it could be a weird dark pattern.
In my experience the url bar sometimes keeps the google url or if I click the share button thru their website ui and then copy that one to clipboard it sometimes grabs the google one. Not exactly sure but I've seen this in a couple of newspaper sites on the mobile experience. I'm always going out of my way of looking up the non-amp domain via other means.

I'm one of the less-technical and least techno-political, compared to most HN posters. I personally despise AMP for two reasons: the URLs are fugly when I send them to someone and take longer to parse when reading, and AMP hijacks my mobile browser's address bar and prevents me from accessing my tabs until I scroll all the way up the page. It's a thinly-veiled method of forcing me to look at the web page twice before closing it and I wish I could get my hands on the son of a bitch who thought it up.
