I meant that AMP aims to make a holistically better browsing experience. We should not need anything special to make the web better, but until we can get some sort of unified contribution model, making money for producing web content tends

This is such a false dilemma. "Pony up money or get the same content with a less-than-stellar ad experience." What about supporting your product with ads that don't suck? I know this is much easier in theory, but I'd lik

As a user, I don't mind AMP. The Web is a mostly hostile place for end users. Malicious ads, 5MB+ pages just so you can read a 1 minute text article, auto-playing videos with volume set to 100%, obtrusive ads - AMP aims to fix this cru

As a consumer, one of my fears with Amazon is that the price of Prime is going to skyrocket. Prime is $99USD/year which works out to $8.25/month for all of the bundled services. This included but is not limited to video streaming,

The problem is getting the funding for such a thing approved when it's not already stipulated in the contract from the start. "Who cares if it's EoL at Microsoft? Is it broken? Will it break when they put it in EoL status? Al

This seems like something I may use. I have terrible memory, so I never remember birthdays, anniversaries or even my own doc appointments. Tangentially related: I wonder what the fallout is for the average person who may get discovered usin

Conversely, ramp-up time should not be infinite. A junior employee should not be limping along after a year at the company. Either that person just isn't a fit, or there is something terribly wrong at your company.

This makes much more sense. I thought it was just currency that needed to be exchanged from real USD. You can earn it as a reward. It just might be a game-changer.

Never mind that most people who have to use welfare for cash assistance actually hate it, and they would rather earn their own living wages via work. Welfare queens are very few and far in between.

I am sympathetic to your reasoning. I am terrible at design, but I think almost anything would be better than what you have. An obvious banner works well. Allowing a few attempts works well, but in that case, how do you rate limit someone e

It's not meant to be flippant, although I see I should have chosen better wording. It's meant to go right into the next point: I spent time solving a challenge, but the site will not let me validate it without creating an account.

It is kind of soul crushing to work on a problem only to be denied execution. Thankfully, I ran an easy JS challenge that was a one-liner. Had I done a a harder challenge that took 10 or 20 minutes, I would have been rather upset. I underst

Android has toast messages baked in. When you long press something, it can display a small tooltip at the bottom with the message. Toasts disappear automatically, and they are dismissable with another touch event. iOS doesn't have the
