If you accept that advertising is necessary to some business models, I hope to see publishers move ads back to the server because I think eliminating all the code from the client would drastically improve user experience. This would make th

I believe the unloaded freeboard of a typical containership is 80-100' The bridge (navigation deck) is higher, but the "sails" would be mounted from the deck, so I expect most ships would be OK.

Thanks for the explanation! I have done things on my site like inlining CSS and minimizing requests because it feels fast, without knowing exactly why. I didn't know that a single request can actually have multiple round trips! My Wor

(Just got back from Googling.) So basically, if the content can be sent within the window then you save a roundtrip?

Minimizing requests, using system fonts and using vector images are what makes this great because it makes the page loads so fast. Does 7kb really make much of a difference?

Some people just trust cops. I sat on a jury that included testimony by a police officer. Many months had passed since the incident and the cop said a bunch of things, then the defense said "You just said X, but in your incident report

I'm not a Californian or a farmer. I read there's a 50% increase in wages, during a period when CPI is up more like 30% in California [0], and I'm saying I agree with the article: it seems like a reasonable economic incentive

by nattaylor 10y ago
The article indicates a 15-year trend of rising wages, yet we don't see American farmhands flocking to CA, so it seems like a fair headline to me.

I'm unaware of a ML-based solution, but GCE has an endpoint that _can_ do this, though it is better at short sentences.

I completely agree. In other software labeling (albums, location, faces, tags, etc) is tedious, time consuming and fragile. In Google Photos I barely even think about it.

This may sound defensive, but its just a genuine answer, as I agree that many photos are pretty pointless. In my case I uploaded every photo I've taken since I got my first digital camera in 2000, and I do look at some of them. To try
