HackerNews:

American-owned company collects logs when you use their free website - pure evil that needs to be banished; due process is not necessary.

European-owned company gives people literal cancer - system is totally rigged and unjust. More evidence needed.


Please don't take threads further into flamewar, let alone nationalistic flamewar.

Yes it does.


If mywebsite.com embeds the portal for othersite.com, and user navigates into it, is there a way for mywebsite.com to keep tracking user interactions inside othersite.com?


No, after you navigated to the portal page it is like you have clicked a link - whole browser context is replaced with portal's.


Why would it not be on the phone?


Refer to the article of this thread.


Larry hasn't been the Google CEO for some time now. I do think the company got caught up in incremental goals and internal PC struggles during Sundar's time, making it feel like yet another large company rather than a powerful disruptor it used to be.


> internal PC struggles

There's plenty of reasons for why they started taking place, that have nothing to do with who is CEO. Societal expectations have changed, formerly unpopular ideas gained both a voice, and mindshare, and Google's influence over the Internet has grown - and with it, expectations that that influence should be wielded responsibly.

Intelligent people strongly disagree as to what 'responsibly' means in this context.


Do you think Oracle encourages the sort of open internal debate culture that precipitated that well-known incident?

The responsibility for corporate culture is ultimately with the CEO and the board.


Do you think Google would have attracted the talent it did with a culture like oracle's?


Just because a CEO decision has consequences doesn't mean it isn't ultimately up to the CEO or the board. Making executive decisions that involve trade-offs is their entire job.


They are complaining about Google's proposal to expand light rail in surrounding areas, arguing that the residential land is so precious there and shouldn't be disrupted. Sounds like NIMBY activism.


Nope, you got it all wrong. It wasn’t the idea of Google to build light rail. It was the city’s idea and has been discussed for many years. The problem is that the city lacks funding so google might have been asked to contribute in exchange to all the benefits they get from this Neighborhood.

There is also no residential land right now at this spot. It’s potential residential land that would need to be built, that’s the whole point of the neighborhood but right now it’s the old land of the port, there isn’t any residents.

I’m not sure if you are misleading on purpose or not, but you have twisted reality entirely on this one.


The filed complaint is talking about the area outside the port that would be "affected" by the light rail.


Also significantly younger on average. China has a serious aging problem, with average age on par with many wealthier countries.


Yes, absolutely. You'll see China having the same issues as Japan about 15-20 years down the line.


May be that is why they are starting to incentivize families to have more than one child.


Sounds like a criticism of Reddit moreso than AMP.


I pick on Reddit because it has the most glaring issues. But there are others. Certain tech sites like Gizmodo come to mind. So do some news sites. It's especially weird when the result is a page that contains a video, and the video is what I actually want but because of AMP it doesn't load, and it's not immediately apparent what's going on.

AMP is straight up broken technology. Imagine if you subscribed to a print version of the NYT but instead of getting the Sunday edition you got a ransom note looking summary of some of the articles from Clipper Magazine. Would you be OK with that?


AMP URLs are ugly, so cleaning them up is good for users.


Users love it so unlikely.
