Those are subdomains. So for example if I owned the domain somedomain.com - I could create a subdomain called google.somedomain.com which is what you are seeing.
OK, so in this case, Amazon wants better terms than Hachette will give, so Amazon plays hardball.

In the e-book conspiracy, all the publishers wanted better terms than Amazon would give, and they didn't want to give Amazon the chance to play hardball, so they banded together and forced Amazon's hand.

Not really sure how the second is better. It's certainly way more illegal.
> So stop trying. Just relax and ... build up some technical debt.
> Set yourself up for a job hop....

While that can work in the short term, I don't think it's a very professional thing to do long-term, especially when one couples it with lobbying for things to help you bail to a "better" company. Let go of your caring about the existence of technical debt __temporarily__, but then take some time to go back and address that later.

Our job as developers should not just be to churn out code, but to inform our managers of the costs of doing so. "This feature will take X weeks, this will take Y. We racked up some technical debt implementing Q and QQ, so we need to spend Z weeks addressing that before we can do QQQ." Most bosses like being told that you're making the code easier to maintain, as it means you will make future features happen faster.

I realize I'm lucky not to be in a burnout phase like you are. I just wanted to suggest caution for others when considering a plan to mess up the codebase and then leave -- how will our future coworkers (or later people that read our code) feel when we do that?
I was thinking that - or is there a site where you can post your troll letter and be put in touch with the other companies that have received the same one? Wouldn't be that hard to build. Does anyone know if there is one?
> Imagine a billion nanobots swarming inside your body, networked [1] and analyzing every cell they come across. Over time, they build a gigantic database of your cells. Then they'll be able to use some heuristics to determine whether any given cell is a menace to your health.

You've basically described the immune system!

The immune system is imperfect, but it's a lot more complicated than any man-made system so far. Trillions of cells, thousands of genes controlling each one, hypermutations creating billions of different antibodies, slipping into and out of each corner of the body. Basically, organized chaos; by some measures, more complicated than the brain.

I would welcome potential designs for an auxiliary system, but what we have already is hard to understand, much less supplant. Certainly the concept of retraining the immune system is appealing, and looking beyond the OP's microbead/reinfusion rigamarole, we've already been doing that for decades via vaccines.
Quad recording [1] preceded helical. In Quad, the mag stripes are across the tape almost perpendicular to the tape's movement. The head spun at an insane speed -- 14,400 RPM in open air. Helical was originally invented as a lower-cost recorder. Once helical gained the ability to do slow-mo and still-frame, Quad died.

I don’t really have the answers, nobody does. But felt I should create this post and put it out there. Perhaps others will read it and realize they’re not alone. And sometimes just knowing that can help lessen the stress levels.

Sorry, just because he personally doesn't have an answer does not mean everyone else does not.

This will likely be unpopular here, but I used to struggle plenty with anxiety and occasional panic attacks until I learned it was better to pray about these things daily (or even as they come) and intimately discuss and honestly trust these burdens to God. ("Cast all your cares on him, for he cares for you...")

All that advice merely snips at the branches of fear/anxiety without uprooting the tree. That's not to say all fear/anxiety will be uprooted, but simply that knowing and experiencing the love of God daily has continued to weed out many of those fear-based anxious roots and replace them with saplings of peace, joy, and confidence.

Anxiety tends to wear one down and make one feel hopeless ("there is no answer"), but there is indeed an Answer who works through us in time, and can lead us to still waters if we ask Him to show us the way. Life won't always feel perfect or anxiety-free, but at least I know to whom I can confidently entrust my troubles.

SEO has been a major factor in my reluctance to implement client-side JS frameworks in many projects (we work with wedding photographers and other small businesses who live and breath on being found in Google). It actually seems harder to optimize a JS-heavy site than a Flash site (which we used to sell a lot of).

If Google can actually index and rank a businesses website that is, say, pure BackboneJS that would be awesome. But I'd like to see it in the wild before trying to sell something like that.

For example, AirBnB appears to be using Backbone here:
https://www.airbnb.com/s/San-Francisco--CA--United-States

Is Google able to crawl their listings by executing all the JS? Or is AirBnB implementing other tricks to get indexed?
It's for both sides. If you are paying a non-Coinbase merchant, and they support the payment protocol, you will see the merchant's name, address, and amount displayed. If you are paying a Coinbase merchant from a non-Coinbase wallet, you will see the address and amount correctly displayed.

If you are paying a Coinbase merchant from a Coinbase wallet, normally you wouldn't use this feature (since you can already log in directly and pay them).
When people complain about these types of "steps", it makes me wonder if they're not thinking clearly about what these steps actually mean, especially for larger projects or when working on a team where synchronization is absolutely key. These processes are here to help you help yourself.

Steps like these allow you to systematically control every aspect of the development process, and adapt. In the long run, these steps work in your favor.

They also allow you to hook into the more modern aspects of development. I mean, you don't want to type `npm install` --that's fine; what you're essentially saying is that this incredibly useful ecosystem is irrelevant to your needs. I find that very hard to believe.

> I like a conspiracy theory as much as the next guy but couldn't the book just be... unavailable?

Its unavailable in the sense that Amazon doesn't make it available -- so it is, literally, unavailable from Amazon. Strictly speaking, this is not inaccurate, it just doesn't mean what people who trust Amazon's comprehensiveness are likely to think it means, as its not unavailable from the publisher, which is why its also not unavailable through other retailers.
There might be something as ridiculous as 'static page SEO' but there is nothing ridiculous about 'static pages'.
That book is still a preorder, so a lot easier for Amazon to play games with. If they aren't selling it on release date, that's a much bigger deal.

What problems are you having exactly? Sourcemaps work great over here.
"Snapshot" also implies that Google search results are likely to get a lot more visual. The tone of the article made me feel that. Does a 'snapshot' imply imagery in U.S. English?
It's not just dependencies, it's structuring your own code as well. My codebase at work has ~200 internal module files, wired together with Browserify.
I couldn't be more excited for this change. The current process of making Angular sites compatible for Google SEO is atrocious
The anchor pulls on the rope too, that's what you have to remember. You can swap one person out for an anchor and the rope wouldn't "feel" any different, still 50 pounds of tension.

Or put it this way: when there's 50 pounds of tension, that means that there's fifty pounds of force at one end and fifty pounds of force at the other end. It doesn't matter whether that force comes from an anchor or from someone pulling. Or you could have a pulley with a fifty-pound weight at each end. Or a rope tied to the ceiling with fifty pounds at the other end.

(The simplification here is that the rope mass is negligible. In reality, the tension will vary across the rope's length.)
There is at least a century and a half of precedent for using the term "Out of Stock."

I'll chime in because I always hear this argument and I don't see it as a particularly good one.

Take cleaning toilets, for example. If no one wants to do it then it will become more expensive to find people to do it. That will drive others to come up with an automated solution to the problem that, while expensive, will be cheaper than paying someone to do it. Eventually someone will come up with a solution that maybe wasn't even considered before, like self-cleaning toilets or something.

Now everyone is better off (toilets are clean and no one needs to clean them), because people were free to do what they enjoy.

This is why I believe in basic income, where people don't need to clean toilets for a living, and the actual issue of "how do we, as a society, get clean toilets, without submitting anyone to the awful task of cleaning them?" comes up for debate. Right now we don't talk about it because our system makes some people's livelihoods depend on their cleaning toilets, so they have to do it for the benefit of others, even though they'd rather do something else. Basic income is a very efficient way to force those problems to be solved, via the ingenuity of those that like problem-solving (entrepreneurs), because it makes it so that it's less likely that you can force someone to work doing something they'd rather not do.

That's just how I understand it.
Honest questions here...

What is supposed to happen here? This article and each of the others linked don't offer much beyond jabs at Amazon.

As far as I can tell, publishers are unhappy with Amazon - period. Two years ago the hot news was about Amazon pricing books too low [1]. Now at least part of the complaint is that Amazon isn't discounting enough and allowing prices to approach list price - which I assume is set by the publisher. Isn't that a publisher problem?

Also, this all reminds me of what we used to hear in the music industry - creators hurting because the label (publisher) they're contracted with is feuding and refusing to eat whatever compromise rather than pass it on directly or indirectly.

Would it be a terrible thing if Amazon pressured books into changing the same way iTunes changed music?

> Google makes Angular you see, hence my confusion.

The thing is, Google is not a single entity, like any other big corp. So there will be teams doing things differently, even in conflicting ways. Google is not using Angular for most of its sites, I think Closure is more popular there.

You can do static page SEO with JS using libraries that allow isomorphic processing, see rendr, react etc.

>Chrome to index websites for some time

I always thought this was the secret reason Chrome was built. Build a better Googlebot and then, wait a minute, why not just release an awesome browser to get more people using our product at the same time? Forked.
Both books are, actually. The paperback edition for Brad Stone's book is going to be released in October.
Yea it is pretty much this & the things listed in the article -- I turned down an RoR gig to work in Java enterprise package software stuff. I look around me and see lots of poor implementations happening. When I can write and take ownership of my own code life is fine but when you look around the room and see all these awful implementations happening you just see things as a ticking time bomb.

How long until I have to integrate with their code? Refactor their code? Be managed by one of the PMs that allowed such repulsive work to be produced? Be forced to buddy code with someone who conned their way into their job to begin with?

And then sitting atop all that -- the realization that I would leave for a community of more solid engineers, if not for the fact that I will have to swim through an army of recruiters/HR reps who are just as bad as the con-artists around me.

Business people in the IT industry seem to have very sharp teeth but are always sinking them into the wrong targets, are skeptical of all the wrong people. I wonder why that is. I have a master's degree in a technical discipline and have actually been told to my face by an HR rep that my "coding skills aren't strong enough" because I didn't know a particular API that their company uses.

It's an awfully confused & disrespectful industry, full of phonies.

Really comes down to how Octopart determines relevance in the search. If "Relevance" is just another word for "arranged by sales volume", then it could be very representative.
This is a worrying trend I've been noticing as well. The last couple of years especially I've noticed a very large increase in people just not caring about graceful downgrading as well as people just not even testing in other browsers. I've had many conversations with people that are huge fans of Angular and Backbone and similar frameworks and when I mention people without Javascript I just get the canned "but everyone has Javascript turned on anyway and if they don't, too bad" response. Interestingly enough every one of them were also people who developed and tested only against Chrome and never even bothered to acknowledge other browsers. I know someone who is a developer who actually likes IE and uses it as their main browser and for years they've dealt with breaking bugs on sites like Github and other popular tech sites because people just don't even test in other browsers any more.

The cynic in me wants to say that this mentality is pushed for by companies like Google because no Javascript means no spying. But honestly I think it really just comes down to laziness. So few people truly care about their craft.
Haven't you ever felt anxious at church?
I think the self-empowerment component of the concept is potentially the most compelling part of the suggestion. Though like you say, it may vary tremendously between individuals. Still it's a good starting point for discussion - when do we stop growing?
I've heard speculation that this is a large reason why Google invests so heavily in Chrome. When developers make their sites work with Chrome, they end up making their sites work nicely for the Googlebot without even realizing it.

If the Googlebot used a web engine that wasn't found in a common browser, then they would have to pay the costs to make it compatible with all web pages out there. Instead, they push that cost onto developers targeting Chrome. All work to make websites work right in Chrome also make them work for the Googlebot, effectively standardizing the web onto something that the Googlebot knows how to process.
The question is will it happen everywhere or be localized, I doubt that it could happen world-wide, but in some parts it could happen it happened before and could happen again.

I think you misunderstand the goal of light markup languages like that. If you're interested in typography, you'd probably convert the markup to LaTeX. If you're interested in poetry or drama, you'd probably also convert to latex and use its packages. E.g. the (now dead) deplate converter works this way to allow markup of drama/scripts (e.g. http://deplate.sourceforge.net/Input.html#hd006005) etc.

IMHO the main problem is that markdown, which serves its purpose well but isn't well thought out as a markup language because of too many ambiguities, dominates the "market".
Of course not. This is everyday contract crap and adding journalists hungry for ad impressions and encouraging hysterics would only hurt the process. I'm sure there's just some boring negotiation going on and this "story" will be forgotten. What exactly is the huge controversy here? That Amazon temporarily has a Rowling book that can't be pre-ordered right now? Oh ok.

I don't know the NYTimes's plan to succeed in the digital age, but acting like a 24/7 TV news outlet probably isn't that way to go.

I also worry that newspaper publishers see themselves as the publishing industry does and have a bias against digital distribution and will do anything to damage it. This piece feels anti-Amazon in an unfair way. The publishers aren't these poor underdogs, they're all well-heeled corporations with lawyers and experts. Let them hash it out.
Correlation is not evidence for causation.
The original American TV standard and TV recorders were 60Hz. When color was introduced, the frequency was shifted to 59.94 to avoid interference between the color signal and the sound signal.

(Color was encoded as a high-frequency sine-wave on top of the black-and-white signal which is mostly invisible on a black-and-white set (which allows for backwards compatibility). The phase of the fuzz indicates hue, and the amplitude indicates color intensity. This is why in the old system, if someone wore a shirt with vertical stripes on TV, viewers would see a rainbow of color over the shirt.)

If you've ever worked in other languages that have an "import" function, you'll understand. Having to manually manage script tags, order of operations, rapidly growing 2000 loc script.js files, etc, can only lead you astray, introduce errors, and make debugging your code hell.

// App Controller

var AppModel = require('./models/AppModel');

var NavView = require('./views/NavView');

var HomeView = require('./views/HomeView');

// Do stuff

You can immediately know whats going on inside of your class or module simply by looking at the imports, the LOC is greatly reduced, and refactoring, via imports, makes your code about a thousand times more maintainable.
This is a beautifully succintly put.
Many of those look like prefixes, so I think you version of whois is looking up any name record that contains google.com, across all domain registries.
