They seem to be doing much better with these things lately though. MS Teams is incredibly good. VSTS is pretty nice as well. I'm frankly unsure why they'd take on Github, other than better integration points into Azure services, CI/CD and other tooling for commercial/enterprise users.

Yes it's true and it is very well documented. Yes it does go against what America should stand for, yet it has also been strongly defended by a whole slew of people who claim to be Patriots.
Only as I get older do I realize how incredibly bad elements of law enforcement in the US can be, and legally so. Few cops and agents are bad, but it is a system with little filtering, personally or institutionally, of the bad elements. Civil asset forfeiture is overwhelmingly unpopular, but when states try to reform it the law enforcement groups rally around it mightily. Essentially they want the right to steal money because they need money; nobody really makes a sincere argument the situation is any different than that. In Alabama they recently tried to reform it. In an op ed by the leaders of district attorneys and sheriffs, the authors wrote “What incentive would local police and sheriffs have to invest manpower, resources and time in these operations if they don't receive proceeds to cover their costs?” I dunno: it seems like if they are professional cops they should just solve crimes and such that seem important; by “investing manpower” they are not investing like a firm does but pulling resources from elsewhere to spend trying to take things from oblivious people. Also in alabama, sheriffs are allowed to take extra money from the food programs at the county jail, and they buy themselves vacation homes this way. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/alabama-sheriff-legally-pockete...

"Spam phone calls/telemarketers" are probably on the nicer side of typical voice traffic floating around (at least in the US) these days.

The article doesn't really mention the vast number of spoofed police/(three letter government agency) calls that attempt to get people to pay up for a made-up crime. Sometimes these are even highly targeted (e.g., scary threats aimed towards international students).

It's gotten to the point where not only do I never answer the phone from a number I don't know, I regret ever having listed my number on a CV/resume that has certainly been scraped at this point.
A Major Physics Experiment Just Detected a Particle That Shouldn't Exist
> MacBook Pros throttle even on "docks". They can't magically dissipate more heat when stationary on a desk.

Cooling docks. The kind of docks that have case-fans in them, and often are made of porous metal than makes direct contact with a large portion of the surface-area of the bottom of the device, making them gigantic heat-sinks.

> You should tell all the pros carrying their laptops into war zones that they've been doing it wrong all these years. No, wait, they have been working fine even in the dust and in sunlight, despite not having armor.

Err... those are ruggedized devices, whatever you want to call them. By "ruggedized" I'm not referring to laptops with extra armour tacked onto them (e.g. "mil-spec ruggedization"); but rather to laptops built to certain specs regarding tolerances of heat/cold/light/dust/radiation/vibration/etc. You know, like how a satellite is ruggedized.

A lot of laptops are ruggedized, by this standard. Everything produced under the ThinkPad brand, the HPe brand, etc. is ruggedized. But, outside of these, most laptops aren't. Your average HP Pavillion, or Asus Chromebook, won't survive a war zone. In general, consumer electronics won't survive a war zone. (Some lower-quality consumer electronics won't even survive the cargo hold of a plane.)

And everything Apple makes, even for "professionals", is consumer electronics.

You wouldn't expect the iPad Pro to survive in a war zone without absolutely "babying" it, right? It's a piece of delicate, finicky consumer electronics that happens to be targeted at one particular type of professional—artists—whose needs don't include ruggedness. Well, Macs are pieces of delicate, finicky consumer electronics that happens to be targeted at college students, businesspeople and engineers, none of whose needs usually include ruggedness either. No real difference.

That's not your average laptop keyboard; that is, in fact, only the keyboards in ruggedized laptops that can do that.
I can't wrap my head around how you can see it as positive that these kind of actions would go unpunished, in the name of "freedom".

If I were harassed and bullied I'd not feel very free, but rather anxious, threatened, depressed. I'm quite happy my government takes measures to assure a certain level of personal safety, both physical and psychological.
Your article states:

"Popular blockchains manning Bitcoin and Ethereum, two of the most frequently used cryptocurrencies boast a 100% downtime"

I don't think that is what you meant to say.

I also don't think you really want to include Ethereum in any discussion related to stability vis-à-vis the hardfork and all PoW blockchains are susceptible to 51% attacks.

Your government currently arrests people for criticizing the government online, covers up child-rape gangs, arrests people for reporting on those cover ups, and mandates whether citizens should receive health care or die, regardless of whether they have the money to pay for it in a foreign country.

Your government took 1984 and used it as a blueprint. Your government see you as an actual human, they see you as their property.
They still create a search bubble based on your IP address and browser fingerprinting.
Maybe another shop can do it all the same, the important matter is that such a prestigious workforce as makes up Google has rejected this kind of work. Money cant buy belief in armistice that quality of publicity.
That's kind of the browser's responsibility, really. The image element already covers what is required to instruct the user agent that there a) is an image resource and b) what its location is. It's then up to the browser to do the right thing with that data. It's nice that people are finding ways to preempt that in case the browser they're in is dumb as dirt, but it's really not the role of the spec to tell user agents how to deal with loads of images. If I'm browsing my gigabit intranet image repositories on any of our workstations, I don't want my user agent to be "intelligent" and just load everything, because it can. If I'm on LTE mobile, I want my browser to be a little smarter about swapping in/out image content. If I'm on 3G, I don't want the browser to load any images at all unless I tell it to. But those are my wants, those are not things the spec should "ordain" user agents must (in the spec definition of must) do.

React components like these are nice, but the real question is why doesn't your _browser_ already do this. Not "why doesn't the spec say what needs to happen", but why haven't Microsoft, Google, Mozilla, Opera, etc. implemented network-and-content-traversal-appropriate image handling? (one answer might be "because apparently users don't actually ask for it enough", but I honestly don't know).
Does that continue to be true if the US citizen goes to visit an EU country? It'd really suck to get arrested on your vacation because you ignored some troll's GDPR-based harassment. I don't know how this works.

That's kinda my point though. The strawman user these kinds of arguments prop up as the reason everything needs to suck is pretty much 100% consumer. There might be a few things, like typing documents and printing that aren't entirely covered by smartphones, tablets, and chromebooks, but that's a rapidly shrinking set of things.
There are already serveral projects trying to solving these problems.(https://pluto.network)
You're ignoring the glaringly obvious practical difference between already ubiquitous electricity service and gasoline.

How many Americans have EVs is largely irrelevant. We're talking about California, and the figure of interest would be current and future California tenants having personal automobiles. This is about faciliating a future of widespread EV adoption in California.

If tenants can reliably expect @home charging, even if it's just at a relatively low-current overnight pace, it turns the EV ownership story into substantially better than ICE vehicles.

You're arguing as if we shouldn't be exceeding the quality and convenience of the existing ICE vehicle ownership experience. The whole point is EVs enable a better situation because electricity isn't gasoline, and you can (and already do) have it dispensed out of your outlets at home.

Without taking advantage of this difference, unless we get EVs that can charge in a matter of minutes at the "pump", I'm afraid they won't substantially displace ICEs.

There’s a lot of bad political rhetoric and scare mingering that is frankly not even worthy of my time to address. Like, for example, that Trump will eliminate presidential elections and by implication install himself as president for life, or that he even has the authority or capability to do so.

What is the rationale behind civil forfeiture? Besides a convenient way to get more funds into the state pocket if you don’t like someone’s face?

I first saw it in The Shield (still one of my favorite shows) and remember thinking that it looks more like some army controlled region in Africa or something than a civilized country. But yeah, so does privatising prisons.
Pretty much every EV uses the same port for level 1 and 2. Tesla has a DC fast charging port that comes with an adapter to fit the standard level 1 and 2.

I don't see the problem. I own both a BMW i3 and a Tesla Model 3, and I can charge both with any public Chargepoint charger. The BMW i3 even supports level 3 DC fast charging just like the Tesla, although I don't believe Tesla will let you use their Supercharger network for a non-Tesla vehicle.

Wow this is great.

Right now I'm using a homemade <ImgWithPlaceholder src={src} /> that displays a generic gray PNG on 404 or src null.

I'll definitely try your lib as a replacement. I'm excited about the out-of-the-box lazy loading and the LQIP (never heard before.)
Interesting... I wonder if this signifies a gap in the market for a good web animation authoring tool that complies its animations to JavaScript? Personally, I've yet to discover a good, flexible tool for this purpose.
I think the real resolution here is that assumption of innocence works for all the other cases and in the one case where assumption of guilt until proven innocent exists we have real trouble. Civil forfeiture laws are terrible and end up generally being selectively enforced against minorities.

Nearly everyone I speak with about civil forfeiture thinks it's a bad idea with terrible incentives, so let's just enact some common sense and fix this one little thing, eh?
I know I've seen some California elections have a 51% primary. I believe the Los Angeles Mayoral race was one. I wasn't sure if that applied to these jungle primaries or not since it's very doubtful anyone will get 51%.

Either jungle or runoff system, with FPTP in place, seems to leave a bad taste in people's mouth when they see the top two in the same party. I think it's getting a lot more bad attention because the likely minority party has a good chance of getting the top two spots.
I joined too, because of their aggressive (in a nice way) marketing effort: every user who joins is encouraged to invite 3+ people, to whom physical paper postcards will be mailed out.

I was skeptical at first, but it turned out to be more than I expected.

In some ways, it's a downside: turns out I'd rather not know what kind of opinions my neighbors have on issues like housing projects and public transportation, and have PSA with security camera pictures in the feed whenever a suspicious (read: minority) person walked past someone's home.

On the other hand, perhaps it's for the better not to live in a bubble.
> If people in America just stopped to look around at how other countries do things they'd be doubly as well run. Most parts of Europe, Japan, Canada, and many other places are well run and have a great deal of governmental involvement.

One big problem with this approach is that it basically pretends that the American citizenry is interchangeable with those of the countries you mentioned. It's not. Identity politics problems, legacies of slavery and of the colonial / revolutionary mindset are still big issues.

The people of Detroit and of Baltimore and of other ruined American cities are not the same as the people of Norway or of Japan. The solutions that work in high-intelligence, high-trust, coherent communities with strong traditions of work ethic won't work in every environment.

You want to use PHP as a metaphor? I'll use NFSv3/NIS. They're simple to run and work great on a small network where you trust everyone completely. The moment there's a malicious party at work they become hopeless and you need to either put in incredible amounts of work to try to lock them down, or switch to a much more restrictive, secure-by-default option.

> (if you are afraid of C++)

Iterating front-end development with Javascript+html+css is simpler and quicker than doing the same with C++ because you don't have to recompile for each iteration. In some cases I don't even need to restart the app.

Also, I have been able to debug in a few nasty cases by getting users to switch out a js/html file and restart the app. That's impossible to do with C++ given the same time/effort constraints.

Those are just two fairly small but measurable examples. There are also drawbacks to having not chosen Qt for the front-end. But those data points and more were part of a rather complicated cost-benefit analysis of what was available to make a cross platform GUI app in a reasonable amount of time.

I don't see what a search for a "true" toolkit has to do with such an analysis. I don't see what caricatures of one camp or another as unduly emotional has to do with such an analysis. What am I missing?

It's that kind of crap, not even the telemetry that got me to switch off of windows entirely at home.
First, you're absolutely correct that people should not just choose random TLDs and attempt to use them. But I think you misunderstand me: I'm talking about doing purely internal DNS for things in private IP space that will never touch the internet. IP space that will never be announced to BGP peers and is thoroughly firewalled off from the Internet.

Let's say I have an ISP named Burrito Corporation.

I want to uniquely address equipment in my private management IP space VRF and have a proper hostname for every piece of equipment, both for "forward" and rDNS.

It's a pretty common setup to have internal BIND servers which are authoritative master/slave for the TLD .burritocorp , which also have an ACL allowing the internal IP space (10/8, etc) to query them. Then set up all internal DNS stub resolvers/client devices to query those servers.

Now I have a core POP in Toronto and I've decided to use airport codes for site names, so the internal management IP interfaces for things at that site might get a hostname which is hierarchically contained under yyz01.ca.burritocorp

It is unlikely in the extreme that ICANN is ever going to create a TLD named "burritocorp".

I am not suggesting that people go and try to use self-created TLDs for things that have real world IPs in the global BGP4 routing table. See section 6.1 of RFC6761.
> But the question in a hypothetical sense does seem quite valid and hard.

I appreciate this sentiment, and tend to think likewise. However, the situation is a hypothetical. In the end, perhaps most important is the practical decisions we make, which is almost never situations like the ones you describe above, but more like "what cause should I donate to"? In that sense, it might be hard to discern between different causes in the Givewell top lists, but picking either of those at random is probably a good heuristic that already beats a fairly widespread heuristic of just giving to something like Make-A-Wish, if you're starting from the point of donating €x to a charity.
