How much benefit is there in doing anything at all on a background tab? Would there be many use cases where simply suspending the background tab threads would lead to a much worse user experience?

I wouldn't mind having my background Netflix just stop, or having to wait a few secs for an interval refresh after bringing a tab to front.

But seeing as this seems an active area of research and debate I have a feeling that this solution has drawbacks I'm not considering...

Fiber has operating margins of 99%. Yes there's a big upfront cost. But it recoups quickly and becomes pure profit. Goldman Sachs estimated the cost to wire the whole country at a mere $140 billion [1].

Apple has $230 billion cash on hand. Microsoft has $100 billion. Alphabet has $73 billion. There's no shortage of capital to start with metropolitan areas.

The issue isn't up front costs or capital. The issue is politics and rent seeking incumbents.

Ah-ha, we hit my area of expertise which is talking about how four buttons is all you need. It's a 16 button remote. Hold a button down to switch to that button's app, and each app has its own four buttons.

Buttons can also perform multiple actions at once. So you step into your home and press a button and everything welcomes you home: the lights fade up (hue, lifx), the music fades in (sonos, iTunes, spotify), the heater/fan kicks on (wemo), temp gets set (nest), etc. So you have lots of control but only have to change the battery once a year, so you can leave the remote out on the coffee table and feel like its part of your home.

But we're talking more than an order of magnitude difference raised here between campaigns, which is what I'm trying to get to the bottom of.

Since when was annotating lyrics a competitive business?

Edit: Since I've been downvoted at least once, I want to clarify. I'm unsure what monetary value can be extracted from the ability to annotate third party websites, or in this case, specifically, lyrics. As others have mentioned, if I want lyrics, I typically just want the lyrics, as uncomplicated as possible. Perhaps I'm missing something.
This is the first time I'm hearing of this treasure - fun stuff!

Reading the poem, the first place that popped into my head is Brown's Canyon National Monument, just outside of Salida, Colorado.

https://www.fs.fed.us/visit/browns-canyon-national-monument

It's just 3.5 to 4 hours north of Santa Fe, is an area with multiple hot springs (Mt. Princeton, Poncha Springs, etc.), and downstream (Arkansas River) you go through Bighorn Sheep Canyon and the Royal George.

It's just an amazing area on this Earth.
My team is using web components, polymer 1, 2, React, Vue and Riot in 3 strategic projects.

I have a bigger rant about web components, and polymer and interesting enough, I believe - none except one - of the article owner's comments matter much.

Here's another rant and what currently sucks at web components (for us)

1. Still no adequate browser support coverage (OP's point)
- Google polymer team keeps the mood up, is excited and does great things but we're still waiting

-- for Firefox to support it, (which declined to implement html imports). I kind of think Mozilla is sabotaging the efforts for some political reason after reading their comments.

-- for Safari 10.2 to support it natively

-- for Edge to care.

Unless all the browsers support the v1 spec, we end up being just another JS framework and the Polyfill webcomponent-lite.js itself becomes a framework in competition with vue, react, riot, and others.

2. Web components (especially) polymer ones are not a good citizen inside an HTML page next to others.

-- Due to component scoping (which is ok), style scoping in the main document css (custom style) (which is weird) and DOM and shadow dom, you end up feeling hopeless at some point.

-- I just want to use the paper-toggle and I end up downloading 100s of files.

3. The opposite of "it just works" ( as someone wrote somewhere, kind of, like you invented the opposite of it just works.)

- Polymer, and the paper, iron and other libraries are cool, but they somehow fail silently and often. It's hard to figure out what went wrong.

4. Polymer team is trying to replicate the cool other JS tech and tools, and it just lags behind. (ES6 in polymer 2.0, the still beta app router, bower, gulp and OMG.js ....)

5. The iron, and then paper, and other elements are too heavily interdependent and no other leaner library or collection appears in sight.

- A lot of nested imports

- and the hopeless the wait for HTTP/2 and the future web of 2020s.

I will write later what can be done.
I just read the criteria for acceptable ads the first time. Not that I really expected otherwise, but all the criteria are just about non-intrusiveness and recognizability, tracking is not mentioned once on the entire site. At least for me blinking text is not the primary concern, it is being tracked on every click I make. So in my opinion acceptable ads is not even roughly heading in the right direction.
In Britain, post codes are much more distinctive and memorable, since they follow a form like "SW7 2DD". The first letters give a city or county, the first number an area within it. The second part a street, business or building.

Most British people would identify that as a London postcode — London is so large, it has several first letter codes.

Most people from London would identify it as a posh area, people familiar with South West London would know it's an extremely posh bit. (It's the Science Museum.)

Outside London and the densest cities it's less accurate, but usually still distinguishes urban and rural areas.

Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LE_postcode_area

I wouldn't feel unsafe giving my postcode, but they have been used by some street gangs as part of their identity, and therefore define a territory. In cities, the "SW7" bit is usually printed on the street name signs.
$21/user/month billed annually in packs of 10 (what your source says) would be $252/user/year in $2520 increments. It's actually (per the GHE features page) $2500/year for each 10 user pack though, which is $250/user/year.

GitLab Enterprise Starter is $39/user/year, and GitLab Enterprise Premium is $199/user/year.

The weakness in this is that designers didn't expect people to be hacking their phones from this direction. The reality is that ANY input that effects what's inside can be used to effect and maybe reprogram the system. The system is just a bunch of electrons with no meaning and no concept of "security". One day, if we get optical computers, hackers may use radio or other light waves to manipulate those computers from outside with no internet connection.

Most legal systems have hundreds of years of experience with clashes with people saying "we can't do that". It's one of the oldest excuses around.

The solution tends to be to either assign whatever applicable fines or other punishments applies, or to put someone in jail for contempt until the come up with a solution.

If you have structured your company in a way that makes it impossible for you to comply with a courts decision, then that is your problem - it does not absolve you of the responsibility to comply with the courts decision.

True perhaps, but we're relatively certain about uncertainty.
Yeah, the voices I can live with. But the delivery and emotion (or lack thereof) are really disappointing.
Totally agree. I think that's what we are seeing from the other comments as well. Video is only part of the battle, and a more complete study would look at all the variables together.

Video is interesting in that it accelerates your efforts in other areas. The time you spend making a better video should also help you reach a bigger audience (A), increase conversion thus making advertising (D) more effective, it probably helps with PR too (E) since media outlets prefer to show interesting videos, and with page quality (C) to a degree since you can reuse frames from the video for the page.

So back to your question! how much to spend on video is you have $20k budget overall. From an execution standpoint, we certainly see a sweetspot ~$3-6k for video, in that it allows you to get a clean professional video that looks legit. That's enough to hire a director with a small crew for a day and simple editing. If you spend less then you'll have to take on some of the director's responsibilities to make sure you hit on the requirements we found in the benchmark (location scouting, quality images, tight narration...)

> Easy one: you don't approach such an intersection at full speed. The difference between safe speed and a complete stop is substantial

I still have to slow down a lot because I'm not sure how fast the other drivers are going. At that point it's not a big deal if I stop.

> even more so if you can pretty much ignore one of two directions

That sounds like an intersection that would not be a four way stop in the first place.
> I don't need a designer who can write code full time, but I wish that all of them were forced to do a course in layout with css. Obviously flexbox is solving a lot of this pain, but I think it would still be beneficial.

Right. My point is that designers (and coders) that push designs that generate the pain - is the reason why now get things like flexbox. If we were all designing to fit within, say absolute positioning, no-one would create, implement and refine flexbox. Browsers wouldn't include it.

This is an extreme oversimplification, but it illustrates the point I was trying to make.

On the subject of CSS - I was a big fan of the idea of CSS-regions - based on simple design ideas from classic desktop publishing packages. But I also see how they were a bad fit for the corner w3c and friends have designed themselves into with CSS. FWIW Håkon Lie did a good job pointing out problems with integrating the idea into the html/css paradigm:

https://alistapart.com/blog/post/css-regions-considered-harm...

I'm not entirely convinced CSS columns are super-good and regions couldn't be made to behave/have a responsive fallback - but I see how laying out text with regions would be yet another different layout model -- and that it would break with the "HTML for semantics, CSS for presentation"-idea that is now being more-or-less thrown out in favour of "JavaScript all the things until it looks like we want".

On a similar note, I just (re)discovered that CSS Shapes are a thing - although (still) not supported in Firefox:

For the first time, the last time I looked for a job, people started asking questions. I consider myself a great interviewer --the last time I looked I got no rejections, two offers, and 8-10 other positions I withdrew from the process after accepting an offer.

Java inside docker: What you must know to not Fail
If bad science is making it to publication, or bad science is being accepted by other scientists, then it's not really science. Right?

That's a very interesting question. I used to be a researcher myself. I love Feynman's "The first principle is that you must not fool yourself — and you are the easiest person to fool." In practice, I would say that there are often incentives for researchers to fool themselves, and researchers do sometimes succeed in fooling themselves and their colleagues. The practice of science has a better capacity for correcting these errors over time than other practices, but I wouldn't retroactively declare a paper "not really science" just because later scientists falsified its findings. (E.g. in chemistry, reports of iron-catalyzed reactions that actually turned out to be catalyzed by traces of platinum group metals in the iron. How did the incentive to report something new and wonderful -- reactions catalyzed by a very cheap catalyst -- influence the original researcher's experimental design and evaluation of the evidence? Unknown.) Nor would I declare that a publication showing "compound X does not induce cancer in mice" not-really-science even if it turned out later that the same researchers silently dropped a line of inquiry that showed X does induce cancer in rats.

I tend toward thinking that social phenomena -- including the practice of scientific research, or the practice of religion -- are defined by what their participants do rather than what the ideal definition says they should do. So bad science is still science (if the practitioners are still recognized socially as such), bad Christianity is still Christianity, and so on.

These issues are more visible when there's a lot at stake outside the scope of the published findings (global warming, tobacco health impacts, etc.) AGW skeptics are not exactly wrong to mention incentives, but I think they're weighting incentives backwards. I think that many of them see the likely policy implications of certain research conclusions and motivated-reason their way backwards to an exceptional level of skepticism about the research itself.

I myself think that AGW skeptics are wrong, that GMOs are a facially neutral tool with potential for both benefits and harms, that herbicides too present both harms and benefits, and that industries trying to influence research to their own financial benefit (Monsanto here, drug companies with drug trials, food and beverage companies with nutrition research...) is both bad and common. This article that we're discussing does not make me think that glyphosate is more harmful than previously reported. I still require affirmative research findings in that direction to change my view. It does make me think that regulatory agencies should be sufficiently funded and staffed to set up their own experimental design and trials for safety, because industry-linked research (worse, facially independent but covertly industry-linked research) is incentivized toward affirming safety rather than investigating it neutrally.

It's not at all unimportant. It's part of the reason people are upset that they paid for XXXMbps connection but "Only get XXXMbps" throughput.

In most households having a limited single-stream throughput isn't a big deal, but it IS a big deal specifically for things like your 4K streaming. It's VERY difficult to do TRUE sustained 4K streaming over any kind of distance. If your ISP happens to have a Netflix caching box at the local pop you're golden. If you need to traverse any kind of distance across the internet - good luck.

edit: I guess I should've also said, more to the point, it's why gigabit hasn't gotten the legs most people were hoping for. When you look at the per-stream throughput on that site - in general if you have any kind of packet loss you're talking about 10Mbps. Who has 100 different streams in an average household???
Neanderthals Munched on ‘Aspirin’ and Woolly Rhinos
I think we're approaching a point at which browsers will need to make some sort of break with the current DOM in order to provide the types of rich experiences engineers and users want. There's simply too much baggage with the current implementation, and this article highlights a lot of it: attribute values limited to strings, a global namespace for CSS, etc.

This is happening at other levels of the web with the HTTP/1 —> HTTPS/2 transition. We're patching over shortcomings in the DOM right now with JavaScript, but it's easy to see the appeal of a native solution to some of these issues that doesn't require a facade over the actual thing that people interact with.

Modern multi-blade drones do this very thing : attitude, altitude and heading hold. They are incredibly stable, and even have a "return home" feature, obstacle avoidance, and more. Very sophisticated.

Could this be adapted to a full-size craft? Possibly, but that's a serious engineering task that would involve a lot of development and testing.

For that reason, I think it is exceeding unlikely to think a 78 year old man, ill with cancer, would invent and equip a 3-axis fly-by-wire guidance control/autopilot system for a helicopter so he could rappel down and hide a treasure while a helicopter hovered overhead. Then after securing the treasure, he would presumably climb the rope to re-enter the craft, disable the attitude hold then fly away.

This sort of thing is best left to the James Bond films.

> what is mathematically possible and impossible is entirely our own invention

That's actually quite a controversial statement that many professional mathematicians might beg to differ with.

Viewing mathematical results and axioms as being totally invented, opens the possibility of being able to just will contradictory proofs into existence, and that is simply not the case in practice. Mathematics might be more for description than definition, but what it's describing isn't usually the physical world, it's the logical limitations of certain principles. And if these principles are found to be reflected in some aspect of the "real world", then the corresponding mathematics becomes applicable. But you can't just pick any arbitrary axioms/principles and have them automatically be mathematically coherent either, so again we're limited in the maths that we can "invent".
