Web components work very well in isolation, and/or within a homogenous web component framework/library.

However, it is still pretty challenging to pass data throughout web components (in a way that allows you to build a complete application). HTML attributes are not great for data transfer (string serialization for everything). JS properties are a bit opaque (not represented by markup). And everyone ends up wanting some sort of property binding system, which may be unrealistic to standardize.

I think there will always be a place for some amount of framework/library support necessary for application builders.
"Kent State happened. Waco happened."

The Kent State shootings were in 1970. The Branch Davidian compound siege was in 1993.

In the former case, the Guardsmen involved claimed to have fired in self-defense and were cleared of both criminal and civil charges. In the latter, the military assets were limited to a few Bradley fighting vehicles on the perimeter and combat engineering vehicles -- which were actually used for breaching and wall-breaking -- under the direction (if not operation) by ATF and FBI, and no military units engaged in fire.

In neither case were military units ordered to suppress or attack civilians. And compared to the number of training related deaths that occur in the military during peacetime, the number of fatalities from the incidents you list (although tragic) pale in comparison over the same time period.
Toronto startup is changing how you send money globally
I know I suffer from sleep apnea (poor sleep quality, relatives have noticed me stop breathing for brief periods while asleep, loud snoring) but I literally cannot bring myself to get a sleep study done because I know it's not going to be cheap, and to top it off I don't even know how expensive it's going to be in the first place.

It's not like I can't afford to pay either, I do have some money stashed in my HSA but when I'm trying to get to a point where I have a full years deductible in it to cover a true emergency it's a bit of a gut punch to suddenly take $X00-$1X00 out to wear a device and then have a technician analyze the data from it.

All of this is why my first step right now is to keep losing weight, because I know weighing 230lbs as a 5'10" male isn't helping me at all either.
Author here in the comments if anyone has any questions!
My fiancee is a sleep specialist nurse practitioner and would say the opposite, that most people don't need surgery and a majority of sleep apnea can be resolved with a CPAP.

> Now, hopefully the problem here is already self-evident but let's just be crystal clear anyway: adding a second step to authentication should not be seen as an excuse to weaken the first step. I'm hesitant to call this guy's approach 2FA (if it's true MFA at all), it's more like 1.5FA or something thereabouts. The point is, use the approaches above as additional security controls, not as an excuse to weaken existing ones!

Well, right now I use passwords of the form j6lqPKQKQ1RHv87PES4iy5; it'd be nice if using U2F meant that I could securely switch to something like 'correct horse battery staple' instead …
The fact that SpaceX can piggyback on its own customers' launches to put these in orbit is a significant advantage over competing communication constellations.

Depending on the cost of their satellites it might make sense to use launching them as a means of testing the upper limits of reusability of their rockets. IE, they might not want to risk a customer payload on a rocket that has made 10 launches. But if they are going to build 7,518 satellites the marginal cost is likely to be rather low so it might be worth it to push the risk threshold to stretch the number of trips per rocket. Also, it could be a good opportunity to clear out their inventory of pre-block 5 Falcon 9s.
The technical argument is absolutely clear: quantum computing cannot work because it relies on manipulating and measuring an absolutely astronomical number of continuous variables with near-infinite precision.

The argument may or may not be correct, but it deserves something more thoughtful than a dismissive response that doesn't even recognise the basic point the author is making.

I don’t think I’m the only one that finds it a bit weird what a hash FB have made of this issue. For a long time it was an era-defining company. It’s employees and even Zuckerberg seemed intent on making the world a better place. But the machine metastasized into something other than a tool to share baby pictures with distant relatives. I think we’ve all (re)learned for the first time that virality seems to favour the bad guys. Tap our worse nature and score eyeballs(1). In a sense this wasn’t FB’s fault, it’s a feature of human nature which FB inadvertently facilitated.

As such, I don’t see why FB just didn’t try and own this. They had a lot of goodwill, even as the platform changed over the years. Why didn’t they just come clean: we have a serious issue, and we’re going to close down aspects of the platform until we can deal with it.

I obviously know none of the protagonists of this tale, but I’d love some insight into their personalities and how these drove their decisions.

(1) I say (re)learned as this as been the profit basis of British tabloids for 30 years and more.

Edit: for formatting and clarification of one point.
I haven't got any info on websites caring about the counter value. It seems.. pointless to use U2F if you just disregard the counter value. You need to extract it from the response in order to construct the binary data to verify the signature. If one disregards the counter value, they can just outright drop the whole U2F.
Moving the jaw forward is highly invasive surgery that is hard to recover from. Another surgery, the "UPPP" is also very invasive and has a much lower success rate than CPAP.

CPAP is by far the best solution for most obstructive sleep apnea patients.

How often does that happen? For the average user this is very very unlikely.
I did read an article early this year where an individual died on a camping trip as he was not carrying his CPAP. So, yes, it does vary for each individual but sleep apnea can be deadly.

Also, I cannot recommend enough anyone showing any symptoms of sleep apnea to get it checked out. I started using CPAP just over 2 years ago now and it has been a life changing experience, even though the study suggested only a 'Mild case of Sleep Apnea'. I don't think the years of damage is completely recovered yet, but day to day difference when using the CPAP while sleeping is quite amazing.

Hadn't ever thought I would say 'So that's what it feels like to be fresh and energetic through the day!' but I did. :)
Google and FB generate superior returns which should attract new entrants by definition. Which is not really happening because of structural and strategic entry & exit barriers. Network effects, economies of scale, switching costs, etc. Google and FB are not getting disciplined by hit and run competition, its an uncontested market.
I still need to gain the intuition for why a quantum computer can operate on some kinds of things "faster". I've read some of the math, but that did little to satisfy me (I need to study it more clearly).

But all of this seems in a tragic state at the moment. Allowing rampant misinformation and hype as to what these machines are actually capable of.

The general idea is that there can and should be more done.

Lots of open space that builds up vegetation and then dries out, turning into perfect fuel for a fire. Cutting these shrubs, creating firebreaks, and doing controlled burns would at least create much more manageable zones if a wildfire does start.

This is not true of the orbit that the SpaceX satellites are going in to. LEO is a bit of a general term that covers altitudes anywhere from 100 km to 2000 km. While it is true that something at 400 km altitude will deorbit in a few months, they will be orbiting at an altitude of 1100-1300 km. At that altitude it will take hundreds of years from them to deorbit. The drag goes down exponentially as you get in to higher orbits. The FCC filing says that the SpaceX satellites will have enough fuel remaining in order to deorbit the satellite after the satellite has reached its usable mission life.

This was a big concern for NASA though. Their typical guidelines were that commercial satellites have to have >90% reliability to deorbit the satellite. But they want to increase this for the SpaceX satellites because if 10% (~400) of the satellites end up failing then they are effectively up there forever.
SpaceX gave their proposals for this (very valid) concern here:

Right, I should have been more specific, you definitely wouldn't want to stay inside if there is a fire outside in hopes that it will insulate you, the containers are definitely not air tight.

I upvoted you because that is a good point about computing infrastructure. But I also feel that diminished costs from the now-widespread use of cheap commodity hardware with horizontal scaling may be countered by the changing nature of the web. A lot of news and shopping sites try to exclude crawling by bots with sometimes-exceptions for the agents of large, established businesses like Google. Spammers have been engaged in a furious arms race with existing search engines, and if your new search engine doesn't invest a lot of effort against sophisticated spammers, the user experience will be poor.

I suspect that my increasing dissatisfaction with Google as a search engine may be a byproduct of the arms race against spammers; maybe it doesn't easily find good niche content the way I remember it doing 10 years ago because the signals of 10 years ago are too easily gamed. If that's true, then no new search engine is ever going to be as impressive as Google was when it first arrived. Similar to how no new antibiotic is going to be as impressive as penicillin originally was. The pathogenic elements have evolved too much resistance to permit the same "miracle product" experience again.

As Pete_D linked below there is now some evidence questioning the addictiveness of pure nicotine, however for ethical purposes these studies are generally done using animal models, most commonly rats so YMMV. Animal studies don't always correlate 1:1 to human studies. The majority of studies I have read still find nicotine more addictive than placebo.
Definitely traditional cigarette products, many of the manipulations done in treating most brands of cigarettes (the exception being brands marketed as natural i.e. American Sprits) made them more addictive by adding additional constituents and potentiators.
In the combustion of tobacco products as well you have the active constituents bound to the smoke molecules, which are larger and therefore more absorbed in the lungs. So yes you would be getting more effect from lung-inhaling a combusted product. Vapor products have a much smaller particulate size so are mostly absorbed by the mouth and upper airway and much less lung-dependent.
The other issue that may help to influence addiction is that there is some evidence that exposure to nicotine while the brain is still developing, leads to a tendency to use higher doses as an adult. This may translate to developing brains get used to this powerful nootropic and are more addicted as adults, as speculation, it would be hard to design a study to test this.
In terms of vapor, freebase nicotine has traditionally been used in vapor products, these tend to show slower absorption and more even blood levels over time. What Juul innovated, and why their product is so much more effective that previous electronic cig-alikes (like Blu) that use freebase nicotine is the development of nicotine salts that allow for increased peak absorption more mirroring the absorption curve of a traditional cigarette.
The relative addictive potential of nicotine salts vs. freebase nicotine has not yet been scientifically investigated. The World Health Organization and other health organizations that tend to prefer harm-reduction and scientific objectivity estimate vaping is at least 95% less harmful than tobacco as a nicotine delivery system.

OSA can be caused by many factors. Weight is only one. I'm skinny and I'd be dead without CPAP.
With one major difference. We know that fusion in some form is possible (for example, in the sun, or in a hydrogen-bomb). The difficulty is doing it at a reasonable scale. It's less clear that quantum computing is possible.

If you are a bit adventurous, go on Craigslist and buy a used one with a new mask for like $100. You probably are a Large mask size.

Figure out how to adjust it and try it for a few days. Keep a written record of how you feel. See if it helps. Starting at 6 of whatever the unit is will probably be a good starting point.
> large scale user loyalty

I think this is the sticking point. A lot of the time this loyalty is not real. Many people would happily move elsewhere if the service was as good or better. The trouble is, every other alternative is basically doing the same thing as Google and FB, so there's little incentive to move.

However, it's clear that a monopolizing aspect exists because for every email I write, there is (probably) a very high chance that google will read it, because it ends up on their servers.

For every website I visit (if I disable uBlock, of course), there is a very high chance that I'll be subjected to FB tracking.

So, although these companies are not a 'classical' monopoly, I think it's fair to state that they are definitely monopolizing our usage of the internet. The real problem is that all the other 'wannabe' alternatives aren't all that much better, with (perhaps) the exception of the Search Engine space (ddg, startpage).
But the path into space from the US is.
I disagree with the management simplicity argument. I’ve tried both and personally prefer VMs over metal for non-cloud container deployments.

VMs (e.g. via vsphere on top of the metal) allow you to:

* Have more kernels (lowers container to container interference)

* Allocate iops to things

* Choose whether you want to use the vm layer (vmotion/drs) to achieve uptime in the face of hardware failure or downtime - if you are metal only you have to cluster everything.

* Trial new stuff (different base OS or scheduler) much more easily

* Get networking the way you want it without configuring switches or moving cables all the time.

BTW the terraform vsphere provider + govc makes managing vsphere with no pointy clicky pretty easy these days.

If you read the original New York Times article [1], part of this strategy was actually Facebook attempting to smear anti-Facebook demonstrators as being anti-Semitic when they clearly weren't. (So, they're accusing Facebook critics of anti-Semitism while simultaneously paying people to criticize Soros.) Facebook is playing all sides here with one goal: to suppress criticism and anti-Facebook demonstrations.

That said, it's disingenuous to insist all criticism of Soros is from anti-Semites. While many people on the right do believe lots of absurd conspiracy theories about Soros, I believe only a small percentage of those people are anti-Semites or intend any anti-Semitic undertones in their criticism. Mention of Soros is definitely an anti-Semitic dog whistle for alt-right/far-right people, but it's not for a lot of other people who are right-adjacent. The majority of conservatives who complain about Soros probably aren't anti-Semites; I bet you'd find massive overlap with support for Israel, for example.

It is certainly possible that some of the conspiracy theories originate from anti-Semitic sources, but as they trickle down to the general public, you'll see that most conservatives basically just consider Soros the left-wing version of the Koch brothers - a billionaire who's funding everything they dislike. Which isn't wrong, to an extent.

If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
I'd think that only a fraction of the debris will head down into the influence of atmospheric drag. The rest would fly away at an angle that either takes it parallel to the path of the orbit, or higher in the orbit (however short that may last). These satellites, while in a LEO orbital configuration, I would assume would still be high enough to where there is a decent amount of room before significant drag comes into play. Otherwise, it would not be economical to have these in orbit as they would decay and need to be replaced too quickly to justify the cost.
Very similar to Zapier.

The interface is very slow to work in, and everything requires multiple steps, because if they are going to facilitate the endless possibilities their customers present, everything has to be atomized into pieces that fit every puzzle.

I have found, after working in Zapier for a couple years, that the primary value doesn’t come from ease of use or the ability of non-technical people too easily do technical things, but rather in the flexibility afforded by a layer that connects services together in any way conceivable.

My guess is that air table will become generally useful in a similar way, where maybe you need some technical people to help you set up things, but at least you can achieve most of what you need, as a small company, without having to hire a team of programmers to build it from scratch.
Cisco has built routers for space multiple times before. The first time was way back in 2003: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLEO_(router)
Most devs, in my experience, are team players. They'll get the grunt work done. But if you ask them to do grunt work for even five years, you're making a big ask.

You might need to pay more to price in the pay cut they'll need to switch gears or the year off they'll need to retrain themselves on related open source side projects.

That being said, there are lots of engineers who get comfortable and shy. You can fill up all your desk chairs in your office eventually. You just won't have a well trained workforce, which is bad for everyone involved.
The new VA.gov shows what’s possible for gov tech after Healthcare.gov disaster
First, check out the video explaining the orbits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=AdKNCBrkZQ4...

Doing some quick math, the shell in which they'll be orbiting has a surface area of 373,367,808km. With ~7000 satellites, an even distribution would leave them 533,382 km between satellites. All the satellites have station keeping thrusters to keep them in LEO with drag. Keeping them from running into each other is probably pretty simple, in comparison to the other challenges they'll need to solve.

im sorry it doesnt make sense to you. when you said, "thats's not what usernames are" it became clear it's a linguistic issue.

you are defining terms one way and i have defined them another way (that's fine) so that is why we cannot come to agreement on any corollary.

the distinction is that you are sticking to the "formal" definitions, while i am using "functional" definitions.

we agree (troll test #1) that auth factors can come in 3 flavors (for the 100th time): something you know, something you have, and something you are. according to this definition, a fingerprint goes into one bucket ("are") and a password goes into another bucket ("know"). peachy. BUT, fingerprints are also something else: GREASE. grease left on a handrail doesnt fit into any of these buckets. that doesnt mean its not a fingerprint!

do you see the point? if you can appreciate that, and look at my comments through this lens, they might make sense. functionally, programmers are free to use "usernames" QUA "passwords" if they want to -- we can't just define that out of existence.
