a) Yeah, I would say that it is highly likely that the incredibly dramatic demographic change the past three years has been quite relevant for the 70% increase in sex crime victimization during the same three years. Of course, if your'

Wait what? It is insanely complex to make a performant web app compared to a performant C app (let's say we're using a traditional UI toolkit as a comparison). You need to understand the DOM (and how various CSS declations contri

So you support having BRÅ redo their stats on crimes per origin in light of the new immigration since 2005? For any non-swedes who may be interested enough to follow this: BRÅ is the "Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention"

So.. the best of the best kind of browser people at Mozilla optimized the HTML/JS/CSS and reached their target after a while. This makes sense with my experience from Opera Software (who also tried to build a browser OS, but way b

I never got my grubby hands on a Firefox OS device. All of the reviews I read were unanimous in their dislike (because of framerate issue, primarily) though. What happened here?

Not sure what to say except that it may be quite natural for this word to come up when discussing the Guardian anno 2017?

I'm cautiously optimistic, but I would like to understand a lot more about your vision. :) Journalism is pretty much about about selection of data. The opposite is.. well, like a data viewer for a repository of stats. How would having

Hej, Sten. People here in Sweden are quite attuned to both general crime rates as well as the particular factors behind those rates. We are all happy that crime has fallen. You seem to be against it falling further? People in Sweden want th

Well, if you dig slightly deeper you'll find that I do address the Guardian's publishing habits specifically.

a) That's a good point. Good catch. It does sort of invalidate some of my claims... if it hadn't been for: b) Wow, they really don't go out of their way marking their opinion pieces as such, do they? I would say it's way

Before anyone says public service: I would point to Sweden as a counter example. Swedish public radio/TV (modelled after the BBC - there's a license fee for owning a TV receiver) used to be relatively benign, although leftist-lean

You do have to understand that they also had no realistic chance of pursuing a top-tier device in a top-tier country. HTML-based UI:s (rendered on gecko) just aren't there in terms of performance. Which leads to the question... why the

I'm sure their core subscribers are really satisfied about their reporting. ;( News really is a hard nut to crack; how do you get people to pay for news reporting that "offend" them?

Not exactly what you are looking for but in terms of having a fit population Sweden is doing (comparatively) well: http://www.worldobesity.org/resources/world-map-obesity/?map...

Ok. (Btw: I very nearly missed your comment. I think HN needs an "unread-messages/replies" box like on Reddit.)

Without a percentage number this just smells of a PR stunt. Sorry... I have noticed that the Noma guys are quite good at PR. They do know stuff like this gets attention. /Signed: a current like 0.05% owner of a software company I worke

You think they are going to go backwards in terms of quotas like this, in the future? Right... Anyway, this is a welcome change. I've bumped into the 20 MB limit a bunch of times...

Well, okay. I can agree that the "go brexit yourself" was too much. I'm sorry about that. Noone should be accused of that kind of stupidity. (To clarify: I really, really did not mean "exit yourself". I did mean go

Anyway, I just updated my HN profile with more details about my experience. Please visit it to judge if I might know what I'm talking about.

You're probably assuming too much again :) I specifically spent a lot of time on Lambda and found it quite annoying compared to GCP AppEngine. So much bureaucracy. Just this thing that you have to specifically register every single Lam

I think the most reasonable guess is that they have some backend system that continously pushes some status json/xml file to an S3 bucket. Then there's the frontend, that apparently periodically reads this file from S3 and caches

(You're right, I used that term incorrectly.) Still stand behind the other two points I made in that post though.

Sunk cost fallacy. I do agree that we should all plan for failures. However, I also think it's a sign of failure in planning and architecture foresight if it's too expensive to move away from a particular cloud provider.

Google Cloud if you're looking for something similar. It's just so much better and cheaper. I think a lot of the resistance here towards that kind of move is just because people are inherently lazy and they aren't paying the
