It's interesting, but it's not surprising. There's a hive-mind on HN when it comes to anything associated with oil. The most ludicrous, unscientific, repeatedly debunked theories about environmental damage from fracking are uncritically believed, conspiracy theories about "oil barons" and Mideast wars are the order of the day, and of course you can't go five minutes without someone happily reminding us all that soon God, er, global warming will punish us sinners.

On another note, I'm not surprised Google cloud is cheaper as its trailing behind and offer no other advantage but price to catch up. GCE, Azure and AWS all pretty much match each other technically, so I suspect the one with least customers to always offer the better value. So if GCE were to ever become number 1, I'd suspect it's price to rise and others prices to lower.

There is actually quite a fair number of windmills in this area. Wind energy has been in the basin for decades if you were to drive through the area you will actually see more windmills than pumpjacks in some parts. Solar is starting to catch up, but neither of these could compete with the profits offered by petroleum when oil was over $100/barrel.

GAE has serious problems:

That's why I highly not recommend to have nay relationships with Google Cloud. It's unpredictable, you just cannot build your business around it.

If you don't give way to the seven, you're patient, then you'll soon understand all manner of things and be in harmony with Eternity.”

They can, but you can separately decide whether to support components from arbitrary off-site sources (most sites wouldn't) vs accepting styling for arbitrary off-site sources.

There is no same-origin restriction for JS included directly with the <script> tag. Most websites are not designed to expect the <stye> tag to be a backdoor <script> tag. If you mean to invent some novel security restrictions on JS running in the same frame, trust me, it will end up more complex than Custom Elements.

> Oct 21st: London Airport evacuated due to "chemical attack", potentially used as cover to fly Assange out of country.

Cover for who to fly Assange out of the country?

When an airport is evacuated that's going to stop air traffic out of the airport, and it is likely to cause enhanced scrutiny of the people who are at the airport. If the people trying to get him out are not working with the UK government, that would not be the opposite of what they want.

If it was the UK government trying to get him out, they could probably arrange for a special flight to leave the airport while it is ostensibly down. Of course, that would draw attention to that flight because you'd have assorted airport workers see that a flight had received special permission to leave a closed airport, and so it must be something very important.

Why would they do that, when if it is the UK government they could simply take Assange in a windowless van to a UK military base and fly him out on a military flight? That could easily be done in a way that would have virtually no risk whatsoever of calling attention to the operation.

Actually, the same goes for anyone else trying to get him out. The hard part in moving Assange is at the Ecuador embassy end of things, not at the transport out of the UK end. If the Ecuador embassy is cooperating with the move, then the windowless van works no matter who the party is.

Wow, that's a really interesting point. I've definitely seen the "enjoying the patterns of your own thought" thing with Leo from Zen Habits for example.

Technically, but getting oil from shale involves both right?

So yes, but the point is somewhat mute since both would indubitably be used in this case.
You've solved one set of problems (and fixed the major problem that the original had no separation between library and user land code) and created some new problems:

(1) A timer will fire forever, even if no progress bars are currently updating. Bye bye, battery life!

(2) A progress bar can't update at 60fps, even if changes to the underlying value happen that quickly.

IF you continue playing whack-a-mole with these types of problems, you might see why Custom Elements + Shadow DOM are an elegant way to avoid these issues while providing good encapsulation.

(As someone else mentioned, Shadow DOM provides style scoping so it doesn't have the CSS issue you raised, even if the contents are normal built-in elements, while your example does.)

I hope this helps to clarify what Web Components technologies are good for.

It's all relative. Please don't judge other people's needs by your needs. I typically have five virtual desktops, each containing a project like yours. Plus five more virtual desktops for other stuff. More than 16 GB ram would be welcome (but thanks to SSD, I can manage with 16 GB pretty well). The article very well explains Apple's rational choice, but it's frustrating (for us, the users) that the industry haven't come up with anything better in half-decade.

I guess the line between ram and storage will blur more in the future thanks to super fast SSD techonology, ram becoming just one more level of cache.
I think the turn lanes and bike lanes were the motivation, the lane width became the accommodating variable.

Also, for table saws, there's SawStop. This is expensive, about $1500 for their table saws (made in USA), but protects you from lost fingers. Table saws cut off about 4,000 fingers a years in the US. SawStop has a system which detects a touch to the blade by anything conductive (such as a finger) and fires an explosive charge which jams a stop into the blade, stopping it in half a tooth of rotation. This costs you about $150. TechShop has these, and they get about two emergency stops a year.

Even VMs can be run on these laptops. It takes effort to create them right. My clients routinely use machines with 4GB of RAM and need VMs to do development (We're in India). So we've made our VMs smaller and easier to install. The nice thing about that is when I demo to folks in Europe/US/Japan. Our stuff simply files on their hulking huge 16GB machines. Of course it's not free ride, one has to carefully eliminate packages on the guest VM that are not strictly necessary and carefully reduce the size of the image. Also they need to to avoid doing really large data computation on their VMs.
False dichotomy. Why can't there be a middle ground?
> And I could be wrong, but I'm 99% sure you need both energy and momentum conservation to get 4-momentum conservation.

I'm almost certain you're wrong. The most mathematically precise definition I remember for conservation of 4-momentum only requires that the interaction is invariant to spacetime translations. I don't see how that requires you to conserve both separately from the whole.

> No matter your view, conserving the spacelike components of 4-momentum is not "a subset of the conservation of energy". And the truth/falsehood of this view has nothing to do with the "non quantum world". Relativity was an extension of classical electrodynamics before it was anything else.

That was a poor choice of words on my part. I meant that an understanding of conservation of momentum based in classical mechanics is rather meaningless when talking about a drive that might use energy to create particles. What matters is that the total energy of the system is conserved and I stand by my choice of "subset" because momentum is not independently conserved. Calling conservation of momentum a subset of conservation of energy is not even close to calling energy the same thing as momentum and I have absolutely no clue where you got that idea.

Well, I'm tired of an employee coming up to me and saying "this thing is going so slow" and it's just Firefox and some other things open. The hardware can't keep up with today's software demands.

We're talking emails and opening pages in a browser.

I now do all my work on a beefy box running Ubuntu, as I did prior to my last year's stint in trying Apple hardware full time. I'm transitioning who I can onto similar setups and moving away from the laptop-as-the-main-computer setup. They just aren't good enough for it.

What old models? As far as I know there aren't any older MacBooks that support more than 16GB of RAM either.

If you're going to compare to desktops, start with the iMac, which is "only" a year old at this point, unlike the Mac Pro which is several :(. The iMac with 5K display starts at $1,800 and is configurable to 32GB RAM, while the MacBook Pro 15" starts at $2,400, and then you probably want an external display too. (That doesn't include the rather high price of actually configuring the iMac for 32GB, but its RAM is [still] user-upgradeable, so better to buy it somewhere else.) Actually, considering that the Mac Pro starts at $3,000, which is not that much more than $2,400, I'm not sure why you think the price puts it out of range...

But I definitely understand why you'd want it in a laptop.

> why not just use the full mathematical set of people (ie everyone). you can't get anything more powerful in order to change society, and no other group is as blameworthy for current status quo.

First you need to explain whether by "use" you mean in social science (as an explanation) or in politics (as a strategy). I think that either case doesn't work well. Obviously, all sorts of trivial sets are the causes of everything, but a useful model must be more refined to provide insight on the mechanics of the process (and as a strategy, that's just hard).

> So where should the effort go to cause social change in the EU, and whose citizens deserve being blamed for faults?

I don't know. I'm not a political strategist (I'm not a social scientist, either, but I studied some).

> it also widely criticized for lacking the ability to make predicts from a theory and thus verified the validity of said theory. The lack of verification is where science normally leaves and cultural, religious or political believes begin.

That's not quite true. Social science, as well as biology and computer science to some degree, deal with intractable dynamical systems. On a large scale, it is a mathematical impossibility to make predictions about biological systems, computer programs and social dynamics. Biologists can't predict evolution -- only explain it retroactively -- but that doesn't mean they don't understand the mechanics. Likewise, social science can only make predictions in very constrained conditions, like those studied in social psychology. If science were restricted to studying only tractable processes, we wouldn't get very far. Also, the word "science" may not be the best word to describe social research, anyway, but that doesn't mean that the knowledge gathered there is religious or political.

> Do you have data that shows that homeless people with black skin have less power than homeless people with white skin?

I wasn't quite talking about homeless people. Unless a homeless person denies access to food and shelter to people of other races, I won't call them racist. But as to data, how about this[1]. In the US, blacks are more likely to be incarcerated than whites of even much higher economic status:

What's more, even young black people who follow the rules and are never incarcerated are less likely than similar white people to accumulate wealth as they get older. As of 2012, the median household wealth of black participants in the study who had never been incarcerated at some point in their lives was $16,200. Those who had been incarcerated had zero wealth at the median.

Among white participants who had never been incarcerated, however, median household wealth was $192,000 by 2012. The median white participant who had been incarcerated reported wealth of $5,000.

The most serious western research was done by the us government as a threat analysis of a mistranslation. U.S. Intelligence agencies got wind of a soviet psychic spying program. Iirc, "Bio-informatics" would have been a better translation. They snickered, then had an "oh shit what if...?" moment. So they funded a group at the Stanford Research Institute (no connection to the University), who spent 20+ years investigating human capacities. Methods of teaching "Remote viewing" were developed.

Once the Soviet menace had been defeated, the CIA came forward to say that they did have such a program and it definitely never worked and it was going to be shut down right away. Iirc, it's been a while since I read those items.
