speed is fine with big city cable internet, usually
customer service, price, etc often is not, and those companies have successfully lobbied to do away with net neutrality so it is going to get worse, and cities where google fiber didn't make it, you have no competitor to turn to, who might offer net-neutral service.

This article is trash. In retrospect it was a huge waste to coin the term "web component", by doing so the expectation is that web components eliminate all need for 3rd party JS libraries, which as the article points out, they don't. Instead "web components" is a set of low-level libraries that provide bits and pieces of stuff needed to make components.

The article makes the usual criticism that web components doesn't have a databinding spec. It's true, it's a short coming. But the lack of a databinding spec doesn't make Shadow DOM any less useful. The two are unrelated.

The author really likes JSX, but didn't bother to google "jsx web components"; if he had he might have come across this: https://skatejs.gitbooks.io/skatejs/content/

There are some real things to criticize about web components. Shadow DOM makes it hard to theme your app. Custom elements has some warts in regards to the way that some events are composed. But the article doesnt make these criticisms.
Yes, I really believe it's awful and I don't think other professions are relevant in making that call.
Yes, we have Horry Telephone Cooperative here in Myrtle Beach, SC.

Aka price discrimination. Another method is to add a small hurdle to get the lower price; people's willingness to pay to avoid it correlates pretty well with their ability to pay more.

Once you learn about it, it's pretty fun trying to identify the products/companies doing it. Like those coffee capsules that just happen to go on sale every couple of months.
Literally the entire section 2 of the linked to file discusses exactly what you're interested to know. It details the evolution of the DragonFlyBSD's network stack, which started as the FreeBSD network stack.

Glad you had a good experience! I'm in Circle C, and I know that my friends in condos downtown said it seemed pretty painless for them. I was so excited to get this and be able to cancel Time Warner... Maybe in a year I'll be happy with it, but it's been a huge hassle dealing with the construction for as long as we have.
Maybe the differences are subtle, but there are differences. That said, I've long been a proponent of shifting more and more services from "the state" per-se to these kinds of cooperatives. But I'm a government hating libertarian, so...

My comment was about extension methods and how the name refers to different features in Java and Kotlin, so I meant "...whereas in Java [if you wanted to use the Java feature to do the same thing the Kotlin feature by the same name does] you would have to ...".

I know, they're only sugar for static methods, as I said.

The biggest thing I think would encourage more projects to move is improving discoverability. On Github, I can very easily search for new projects to contribute to, and their Explore page [1] is very nice. Gitlab's, on the other hand, doesn't seem to have a way to browse by category like Github.

For everything else, I like Gitlab a lot -- it seems to have the best integration of tools of any code host.

I met several members of their engineering team in Jan 2015 in Brooklyn after their first dev meetup where Tom debuted global web annotations. Every engineer there was top notch. You could tell by how much attention they dedicated to very meta level stuff.
The strength of using a virtual DOM as an abstraction isn't that you get around making DOM API calls, but that you can easily batch and sequence them to eke out the best performance. To use your .appendChild example: if you iteratively call .appendChild the browser has to reflow every time that happens, whereas if you know you have a bunch of elements to add you can use another strategy (like document fragments) to do that manipulation all at once.

Yeah, you can do this all on your own, but you get it with React for free. Abstraction does not necessarily have a price.
All Internet streaming is now over HTTP.
One of my favorite skills & challenges is do things as efficiency as possible, and using Electron for an app like this just strikes me as super-duper wasteful, especially for an app that'll be running all the time. That said, it's probably not going to make that huge of a dent in daily battery life.
Hey Karam!

First off, congrats! It's great to see you out here posting, and although I've yet to launch anything on HN yet - I'm sure there are parts that are nerve wracking. Regardless, it's a big deal to have something out that people are using, so again - congrats!

I just wanted to ask a couple questions about where Wifi Dabba stands when looking at something like Reliance's Jio? What exactly are the differences?

Secondly - I just wanted to know how you got your product out in the hands of users in Bangalore? My family currently lives in Gurgaon , but I've grown up outside India and whenever I look at startups in India I am amazed how they are able to organize themselves amidst the chaos that is India :P. Especially when looking at chai wallahs, is it just a manual process of going person by person, or could you share how you've grown?
Or maybe possible but unobservable ?
Rebol was this for me, it came out when I was in HS and had been programming for about half my life at that point (BASIC and, later, C). The size of the runtime, the simplicity but capability of the language and its built-in libraries were impressive. I played around with it quite a bit, and still regret that it didn't really take hold (though I perfectly understand the market forces and choices that prevented this).

I later discovered other languages and environments with similar capabilities, but that one was my first taste of how using computers should be (dynamic, flexible, bending to the will of the user; not these mostly-static environments we typically deal in).

Oh, the only data I've seen are the published papers. I have no inside info.

For #1 and 3 I would say that the concentrations used are very high. I would not expect anyone except workers spraying Roundup maybe to ever encounter something like millimolar levels of it. We usually deal with things at the nanomolar or micromolar scale of concentrations in science.

I worked at another deadpooled-ish internet annotation company in the 2008-2009 timeframe, called Reframeit.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1swp-2QeMI

We worked as an embeddable product like Genius as well as a browser extension, and we had similar issues: client-side performance, "how do you anchor things to a page that's probably going to change out from under you," and "how do you scale to serve the combined traffic of every site you serve comments on without spending more money than you make?"

I think web annotation is a good idea but probably needs to live in a moneymaking niche for a while before it can grow to the broader web. Lyrics were an interesting start for Genius but it's tough to make money there. Law, news, internal research, etc. seem like interesting starts to me.
> Most "ad" networks don't actually give a hoot about advertising, they care about tracking and tricking companies into footing the bill for collecting the data.

Where did you get this info from? Ad networks care very much about the ads.
Anecdotally, despite the Google incident and their name change, they're still the place I look for lyrics having used them twice this week alone. That said, I haven't the faintest idea about their revenue strategies and how those might work for them, but I wish them well. I think they did the lyrics thing better than anyone previously and often find myself wondering why I can't have it integrated with, say, Google Music and such
Bannon, former executive chair of Breitbart news is the Chief Whitehouse Strategist. Where have you been for the last year?

ReFrameIt and Me.Dium were also two annotation startups. It's something that people keep trying over and over again. While neat, I honestly don't expect it to ever catch on.
To start I'm probably outside the usual IoT demographic - it mostly doesn't deliver what I'd like. I looked at your campaign and thought it interesting, but didn't back it. Here's some entirely personal thoughts, make of them what you will - I don't expect to be very representative though! :)

I don't care to have my phone always around at home, couldn't care less about most apps. I even turn the phone off! Have always wanted not an Internet of Things but a local net, with a miniscule subset allowed near the net or usage slurping phone apps.

Was interested seeing MacOS app, hoping for a Pi or similar app further down. I liked that you can have say 3 remotes doing entirely different things or switching functions etc. Oh, bluetooth, iMac is usually in the other room to us in the evening (when I'm more likely to want a remote for something), so we're mainly out of Bluetooth range, and the Thinkpad is either on standby or being used.

Would have been more interested if a) the remote tethered to wifi to talk to the iMac, or better a low power Pi or similar hub so I don't need to care about iMac, phone and their apps just to remote music or lighting and b) there was a cheap n cheerful plastic option for the kitchen etc too. I'd probably look at a couple of plastic cheapies (to get dirty or lost etc) and one nice premium wooden one for the coffee table in main room.
Yeah, hopefully. I'm right over in Maple Run, so I'm surprised you've had so many problems comparatively.

I'm glad I haven't had to get support from Google, that's for sure.
One possible reason is that services like YouTube and Google’s messaging-app-of-the-week would require lots of bandwidth and Google definitely benefits from having those services be practical for as many people as possible. If 50% of your friends can’t realistically use online services because $ISP sucks at downloading lots of data, there is a problem.

I really cannot believe anyone actually though that Google was serious about bringing fiber to a huge area. They cherry picked cheap and easy areas to install. Their purpose was to light a fire under the existing telcos in order to protect their core business which relies on the internet. They never wanted to be in the ISP business, ads are way more profitable.

Digging up the ground or putting wires on the poles is very difficult, and costs a ton of money. This can be improved with regulation and removal of onerous regulation, but it is still the case now.

You have companies like Comcast which are the most loathed in the USA and you would think someone would certainly want to compete in a tremendous industry against a hated competitor. It is just too much to get started. The only real solution is to have the lines built and maintained by the government, and providers can lease them to provide service.
Empathy is the ability to feel what others feel. If you feel hate, and they don't, then you're not doing it right.

I guess "hypocrisy" is a better term. The term "double standard" suggests an unfair discrepancy in how two cases are treated, especially when this discrepancy is concealed and especially if the concealment is so deep that the perpetrator is self-deceived (so subtle sexism in hiring is a better example than Jew quotas for university admission or different penalties for crack and powder cocaine).

An important difference from hypocrisy is that, with a double standard, the group that is judging in an unfair way is typically itself not engaging in the behavior being judged. For instance, an interviewer might have a double standard for male and female job applicants who have a certain kind of black mark on their record (or a certain kind of mark of excellence for that matter), but the interviewer is not a job applicant at all, let alone one with this kind of black mark.

Another difference is that with hypocrisy the underlying behavior being judged has to be something bad, and accusing an accuser of hypocrisy is no real defense. (However, hypocrites often profess exaggerated standards of morality, and the best solution may be for everyone to just moralize less on the particular thing they are on about, so accusing an accuser of hypocrisy can be at least part of a defense.)

Back when I was still using v7, it seemed that the right combination of upgrading and downgrading of node and npm (separately, not together) would eventually yield a "latest" installation of both that would work going forward?

I don't adblock because I don't want ads; I adblock because the vast majority of ads are garbage, distracting, noisy, and frustrating, blocking huge swaths of the page and making the content harder or impossible to see, and because tracking pixels, third-party JS, analytics, and so on all make page loading 10-30 times slower (or worse).

If a company is serving good, simple ads, if they don't take up an inordinate amount of space, slow my computer, waste massive amounts of bandwidth, and overall ruin my web browsing experience, I'm fine with it.

But no one is. So I adblock.

If the end result of adblock is that websites stop being slow, user-hostile blobs of ads and third-party analytics, then I'd consider that an overall win. If the result is that websites start relying on reasonable subscription or access fees and that people become willing to pay that, then even better.

Expect? No. "Producing content" isn't difficult, nor is anyone entitled to profit from it.

In my experience, as an introvert and an ESL (even after living in North America for 20+ year and been educated here from high school onward), the need to verbalize thoughts actually compound on the stress more. I understand why I should be talking (I am sure all your points are valid) but I just can't help it. I'd say the only comparable level of stress and anxiety is dating.
Sorry dude, don't see the connection.

I am a predator. Predators kill prey animals, including (and sometimes especially) the babies. Cheese is delicious. Im anti-GMO and have been killing animals for food since I was 3.

GMO and monsanto practices are health issues. The pesticides are a problem in terms of chemical pollution.

As for gene editing, it's a question of polluting the gene pool of a life system. Releasing Gene-mod into a complex dynamic self-regulating self-propagating system is like modifying diseases them and releasing them into human society. It may not be a problem, but we can't know if it will be a problem till it's done, and once it's done, it's done. You can't remove or erase your mistakes.

We cant know what any particular gene-mod will do in the wild, if it will be harmful or not, but we do know that monsanto and their cronies at the FDA and EPA don't give a flying fuck about systemic consequences of new technologies.

We do know that the technology is potentially catastrophic, and there are a lot of disincentives to be responsible baked into the system of those holding the keys to this tech.
Well, the definition to me is quite simple: “a non-animating image or line of text that occupies no more than 2% of available space, served directly by the displayed web site domain”.

Also, it’s definitely not just advertisers these days that make me go straight for the uBlock Origin settings panel. I’d say on 50% of browsed articles, some obnoxious component halfway down the page auto-plays a VIDEO with SOUND. This isn’t advertising, this is just some web site’s utterly misguided thinking in what a person might want when visiting a written article online over a limited data channel! And yet, “ad”-blocking tools work just as well: select obnoxious element, turn it off. (And you can sort of tell they expect you to do this now, because some of these video players are buried in about 6 layers of HTML components that appear to have no real value other than to make it harder to find the element that actually makes the video go away.)
We're one of the companies on the committee.

Lots of strong emotions here, as usual with anything ad related on HN. The fact is that advertising pays for much of the internet content you consume for free.

Yes, it's not ideal and the online implementation is poorly done most of the time. It's because of perverse incentives and a lack of regulation in the entire industry that force bad formats, fraudsters, malware, and the pursuit of data and volume to win over quality and user experience.

As much as I don't care for the ABP approach, it's something that can be used to actually make progress and that's what this is, progress. It's finally some outside pressure on the industry to change from the segment of the advertising mechanism that matters most - the people themselves.

I wasn't judging virtual DOM has wholly good or wholly bad, just pointing out the often incorrect belief that some how React does a magical thing that you are unable to do yourself. Batching, etc. is no different. The advantage in the abstraction is that it makes it a bit easier to maintain, not that its faster.
