This is about performance and UX. Respect for the user. Yes, browsers should be doing this. But they don't. So other than the obvious, what do you propose?

> this does nothing to make me consider picking it up. Which, is counter to all the cool JS libraries i've pulled into projects over the years, which naturally induced a desire to learn more JS.

For shame. What this tells me is that you essentially don't care about your users. The notion of this being something only react/frontend developers care about is also quite off-base. Lets include all the "cool" JS libraries under the sun until the page is bloated, but definitely not the ones that try to make the site perform better... ? Yeah not a good attitude.

Perhaps if you imagine yourself on a metered connection, navigating to a page with a bunch of hires images, wouldn't you appreciate the work the developers put into making the site a better experience for you? That respect for the user is the appeal.
Unrelated to that incident, but I feel their web UI to be extremely slow lately. Working with PRs (or "merge requests" as GitLab calls them) and CI pipeline is a pain, you're looking at 1 second response times.
I have the same model iPad as the author. Mine is pretty much dog slow at even relatively simple things now, but it still works, and I rarely mind waiting for it to trudge through things. I’d like to replace it at some point, but even at $200 or $300, the value proposition for an upgrade is still too low.

The iPad starts out with such good battery life that even if its capacity decreases by half over its service life, that’s still ~5 hours. Good enough to survive a cross-country flight is, well, good enough.
The thought's occurred.

My approach is sufficiently fluid that this would mean pushing pretty crude code to a bunch of hosts frequently and on a irregular basis. The runs themselves are fairly ad hoc.

Being able to directly query a corpus (IA, DDG, Bing, etc.) is another option.

Search across large corpora remains fairly expensive, I can understand hesitency here.

Nonstandardisation of search APIs across sites is another frustration.
Personally I prefer that US police look ugly and militaristic when they do it, since that sort of poor PR will work against them in the long run. If they presented themselves with a peaceful and calm aesthetic, the problem of asset forfeiture would be that much harder to mobilize the public against.
GitHub private repos are still $7/month, but available for free as part of the education discount
The US has always had a much more liberal immigration policy for ROW. Moving to the EU as an American is nigh on impossible. If was even remotely easy I'd have done it years and years ago.

Granted, that doesn't say anything positive about the immigration policy of Germany when 30 year old children can get in and I don't stand a chance. Oh well.
Google sold tablets?
I regularly had whole chatrooms that wouldn't update for days. I had no way of knowing if a message I sent would really like... ever... get delivered.

I've been a pretty big Skype user in the past, and still use it a bit now, and it is actually so much more reliable now that Microsoft runs it.
>Use Google as a fallback.

To do this from DDG, prepend your search using !g to search Google
Nope, the point is that it's a global assumption, we did this "customer to my org" thing with C and C++ already, time to move on.
Here's a classic problem for utilitarianism:

You are a doctor. You have four patients. Three are young men in otherwise good health who need an organ or they will die very soon -- two of them need kidneys and one of them needs a heart. Your fourth patient is a homeless person who's broken his leg but is otherwise well. You know for a fact he has no friends or family who will notice he is gone, and that nobody will know it if you kill him. Under a strict utilitarian framework, it is not only permissible but actually mandatory that you kill this man and harvest his organs to maximize utility.

Another popular one is a variant on the trolley problem. Most people feel it is morally permissible to change the switch on the train tracks to go toward the side with fewer people, even though it will lead to some people dying. Most people do not feel it is permissible to push someone (say in a car) in front of the train in order that they may stop the train while being killed in the process.

There are others of this genre but you probably get the basic idea. Utilitarianism can lead to plainly monstrous conclusions. I'm suspicious of any "formula" to solve all ethical problems.
>>> other people are thinking similarly

In lieu of re-creating existing social media. Which tends to scale down quite nicely. I'd focus on a single neighborhood "vertical" that boosts partcipation. Say a lending library of physical books. Used baby furniture and children's toys. Or even laptop recycling drives for schools. Distribution is as easy as printing flyers and putting them in mailboxes!

Good luck ;)
And unfortunately looks like it will be Apple's last in that form factor.
I suggest beginning with "Computer Systems That Learn" by Weiss and Kulikowski.
My Chromebook that runs Android apps has replaced any need for a tablet for me. It is lighter than my bug laptop but still can get a lot done and if I want I fold it into tablet mode and I'm set.
This article is showing its biases. You only need to fix nitrogen in a monoculture, and rather than giving up on that idea they’re going to keep trying to make plants that are everything to everyone.

If your ecosystem contains nitrogen fixers you can scavenge nitrogen from your neighbors. In some cases this could be construed as a second symbiosis: A vining legume is working with the bacteria for nitrogen and its neighbors for loft. It has access to more sunlight in the spring, and can lay down more nitrogen before the trees wake up. At which point the trees have access to more nitrogen for manufacturing leaves.
And those scumbags are the ones that get promoted because bringing money into the system is "good police work". The rot is so embedded.
> At higher price points you can get a chromebook with a keyboard and arguable more functionality.

Alternatively at the <$200 price point you get dual-booting Windows 10/Android tablets with magnetically attachable keyboard like the Onda Obook or Teclast Tbook. They're not amazing, but I got an Obook to replace my last Chromebook, and it's decent enough that I haven't used my previous tablet since - it meets both needs well enough.

(note that I would consider any of these usable as a replacement for a proper laptop - I use mine as a "I can't bother carrying my big and heavy 17" laptop to this meeting" option)
Maybe this says more about climate than it does about governments. Of course if that's true, that people care more about the weather than the government, maybe that in itself is saying something.
Then there are places where you get calls from people pretending to be your just recently kidnapped daughter or other family member crying for you and then switching to someone supposedly the kidnapper trying to get you to pay a ransom right quick before they do something you might regret. They yell and demand to get you scared so you're not thinking straight. I know a few people this has happened to. One uncle got a call from his "daughter" crying for his help when she was really only a few months old. That was a little funny. As soon as he expressed surprise at how quickly his daughter learned to talk, they hung up.

Best thing to do in these scenarios is to hang up quick without saying anything, and contacting your family member directly to check if they're ok.

There are also those that talk vaguely and familiar to get you to think it's someone you should know but just can't remember, and they'll tell you they've got trouble and ask if you can help them out with some money. I've gotten one of those.

Oftentimes, how this works is that they'll call you sometime before to carefully obtain information from you and then call you again when you might have forgotten the call to use this info against you.

These things used to be more common a few years ago, but I'm still careful never to give any personal info to random callers. Back then, I once got a call like this:

*ring*
me: "Hello?"
caller: "Who am I speaking to?"
me: "No. Who are you and what do you want?"
*caller hangs up*

Something that's really annoying recently are telemarketing calls from the competitor of my cellphone provider. Every. time. of the 3 to 7 times a day they call, they ask for my name. I mean, what? Given how common these types of scams were nationwide just a few years ago, you'd think they'd understand how unacceptable it is for a caller to ask the name of the person they're calling.
Perhaps a sweetbread of some sort?

Why can't it be over many generations of skirmishes?

Imagine tribes filled out over populated Europe like cells. They raid each other, kill men, take women and now that Y chromosome fills 2 cells.

Push an exponentially increasing 1 tribal diameter of area per generation at the front and it doesn't take many generations for almost replacement.
Why do no candidates, either Dem or GOP, work to end this? Isn't the government blatantly stealing from people something both sides can get together to end?
I don’t know but I completely agree with your gripes.

Fire up Windows NT4 in a vm with office 95... it’s shockingly fast. Apart from NT4 being a security mess we’ve gained what exactly?

I went “all in” on MS with a surface and office 365 but it’s only pushed me to some kind of Librem laptop next time around.
Safety first might not be a good rule to guide civilization by. It basically means doing nothing is the best path. Maybe safety third would work better?
Haven't really used group chats that much on it, but for call establishment, I stand behind my words when I say it used to be a lot better.

With P2P it would sometimes take a bit longer (10 seconds?) but it would always work. When it wouldn't, it was because of a problem on either one of the endpoints, and switching network connections or rebooting the router fixed it.

With the current model it would just randomly not work (the client also sucks and sometimes hangs in an inconsistent state after the failed call attempts), without anything we can do - it's something with the software and/or servers.

I used to trust Skype calls to actually go through - now even if I see "ringing" I have no faith in whether it's actually ringing on the other side (and if it was, whether the call would actually connect once picked up).
Next the government will indict the left hand of a thief, or the foot of a common brawler. Those are just body parts with no constitutional rights, so forget about habeas corpus and all that jazz. It'll be much better. Cops can just focus on arresting fists and feet and not worry about explaining themselves to juries.
”still: “And remember… don’t be evil, and if you see something that you think isn’t right – speak up!”

Last line of google company motto. They moved it but “don’t be evil” is still in the motto.
Really? Just have your CI reject builds that don't lint...
At that scale, they would have to abandon traditional oral parliamentary procedures and switch to a text-based threaded comment medium. Reddit and HN show that it's at least possible to have hundreds and occasionally thousands of people "talking at once" without collapsing into chaos.

By comparison, I think most of us have had the experience of being in a conversation with a small group of people (or even one other person) and wanting to say something but not being given an opportunity to do so without seeming rude.

This could have other advantages as well. No reason why any one bill should block any other bill; anything with N/2+1 upvotes is passed by the House. It would also be possible for representatives to remain in their home districts among their constituents.
EU Rejects Hungarian City for Being “Too White”
The Grapevine is a mountain pass from the Central Valley to LA County, approximately 20 miles long, with rolling hills, that goes up to 4100 feet of elevation gain. (But note that common usage is to refer specifically to a 5 1/2 mile stretch that is the steepest.)

You're absolutely going to not get the rated battery life there.
Those two aren't the only options, though. Many other electronic payment methods exist that are better than credit cards in almost every way.
Thanks...looks like I missed it.
Over the long run it’s entropy working against a simple cost benefit analysis. If there is a sufficient multigenerational selective advantage the the gene will he preserves. If not, then there is no positive selection and it’ll accumulate mutation.
I talked to one of the devs a whule ago: the safety critical part of the display is rendered by a completely separate renderer which is kept as simple as possible. Most of the application specific code for it is generated automatically and a lot of the typical dynamic behaviour (dynamic memory allocation etc.) is strictly forbidden so that the result follows the requirements of safety standards.
I work at Stripe and built this demo, thanks for your interest! This sample StdLib app only showcases one-off payments, but subscriptions are easy to implement with Stripe: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/quickstart.

Check out Typographic, a demo app for subscriptions, that could be ported to serverless functions on StdLib too: https://github.com/stripe/stripe-billing-typographic.

> xferring is easy via wire

No, it's not, you cannot wire it unless the recipient is a Chinese national.

> If you have a resident permit

The only requirement is a Chinese phone number which requires hours in line, a visa, facial recognition scan, and passport, and the same requirements for the bank account. Once you have a Chinese bank account, you can hook it up to wechat. The only ways to fund it are via cash however.

This was not a communication issue, I had a native speaker with me at Bank of China and China mobile.
I wonder what the crash rate of western airlines are at this point? For fatalities it is about 0/year. Maybe it is time to re-evaluate plane interiors for the trade-off between safety and comfort.
You should be able to sue if you sold after the story broke. In that case you were wronged, but you are not shooting yourself in the foot by suing.

Also: if the net worth of the company is less than its book value (possible), suing could increase your net worth.
I would advise you to go and read his statement in full. His point is quite valid, even if some of the phrasing is not well-perceived.
Yes, React isn’t _exactly_ jQuery, but it gives the same level of productivity boost comparing to development with just the modern DOM APIs (querySelector, classList, etc).
Oh Brad, you do not know what you are talking about right off the bat. Let's go through your list.

1. Every document has a root node. <div id='app' /> is your root node now. You had a root node before, you have a root node now.

2. Do a search and replace. That's easy.

3. That's another search and replace.

4. You don't need to call a constructor, you don't need to use bind, and you don't need to assign your functions to an variable on your class instance.

React allows you to compose things. Make something once and use it everywhere. You write much, much less code. You get lifecycle hooks for when things mount, update, unmount. You get easy templating in JSX. You can also ditch the whole thing for Inferno if you care about having no lisence or company behind it.

You also get amazing libraries for state management and async via reactivex.
Steam link would be a pretty cool app to have on the switch. Unfortunately, I doubt that will ever happen, since it would undercut a lot of Nintendo's control of the system.
I'm not convinced that the US government is more broken than the others you list.

Most people killed by a government are killed not by police forces, but rather by armies, navies and air forces. And if you live in or near the US you have a lower chance of being killed in a war than if you live in or near Europe because although the US starts more small wars, it starts fewer big wars, and most people killed in war are killed in big wars.

Europe has started fewer wars and killed fewer people since 1945 than the US has, and this is a sign that Europe is safer for the average resident or neighbor than the US is, but that sign is more than cancelled out by Europe's record (and Japan's record) before 1945.

Over the centuries, most prolonged rivalries and most expensive arms races between European nations ended in a war. In contrast, the intense prolonged rivalry and extremely expensive arms race between the US and the USSR did not end in a war -- at least not a war in which the most lethal available weapons were used or in which civilians were targeted to the extent that civilians were targeted by European and Japanese governments during WW II. Surely, the USSR's government deserves some of the credit for that surprisingly good outcome, but so does the US government.

And if you want to claim that the US did not have to participate in the intense prolonged rivalry and extremely expensive arms race -- if you want to argue that the fact that it did is a sign that the US is badly governed, you have to face the fact that if it had not participated, all of Europe would've been overrun by the USSR. There was far less political will in Western Europe to prepare for yet another war than would've been necessary to resist an invasion from the USSR if the US hadn't paid for most of the preparations.

I do not conclude from this analysis that the US government is better than most governments -- only that it is not clear to me that it is definitely worse. And I think it is a mistake to draw a boundary at 1945 and claim that anything that happened before then was too long ago to have any bearing on the question of which of today's governments are better.
I agree in theory, but have you ever actually tried to use Azure? The management interface is ridiculously overcomplicated. It feels very “Microsofty”
>If they'd named it sfo07s13-in-f14.google.com, then browsing to that URL sends google cookies. If it's some server from a recent acquisition that may not be up to Google's level of security, that's dangerous.

Sorry, I'm slightly confused.

I browse newproduct.google.com. My browser calls the DNS, asking for the IP. The IP comes back as 192.168.0.1 [1].
It connects to 192.168.0.1. Gets hit by an XSS, and sends your cookie value to evildoer.example.com.

How would it help you that the reverse-IP of 192.168.0.1 issfo07s13-in-f14.1e100.net? The browser doesn't know that. It thinks its going to newproduct.google.com.

[1]. Yup, that number is just an example.

It is the greatest country in the world, despite its problems. For example, since 2016, CNN has been attempting to destroy the Trump Presidency 24/7, without any of their reporters being harassed, disappeared, imprisoned, dying in mysterious accidents, etc.

It takes a great country for that to happen.

Yes; if the acceleration from gravity exceeds the rocket's thrust-to-mass ratio, the rocket cannot make any upward progress against gravity. The best engine listed on the Wikipedia article was the Merlin 1D with 180.1 gravities, so g ≥ 1767 meters per square second would suffice to keep it on the ground, less if you account for the fuel tanks and such.
Google is big enough they own/need several ASNs. Having a dedicated domain totally makes sense.
