I would fully trust an encrypted communication system only if it is (1) end-to-end encrypted, (2) open source (or at least with source code available and buildable from source), and (3) based on a sound security design. Having said that, however, you're being very hard on Research In Motion (now called BlackBerry Ltd).

From everything I read and know about RIM, the enterprise level BlackBerry systems were unbreakable to governments and the keys were generated and controlled entirely by the customers (not by RIM). The pissed-off governments demanded access and threatened to ban RIM--the market leader at the time. I think the first to demand access was India and RIM put up a years-long fight against them before they capitulated.

It's easy to say that they should have taken a principled stand and lost the market. (In a similar vein, RIM had to pay a slimy patent troll $612.5 million dollars [not a typo, more than half a billion!] by a certain deadline otherwise the judge in the case would have banned them from the entire US market until they had a trial. The patents in question were ludicrously obvious and should never have been granted. I'd like to have seen RIM take a stand and fight the troll, but I can forgive them for having chosen not to go bankrupt.)

At the other extreme of corporate misconduct, are you aware that AT&T has been giving the call records (meta data) of every person in the United States to the NSA for decades? If Snowden's info is correct, they even allowed live tapping into phone calls for every phone call that passed through their network.

Furthermore, here's a quote from the article you linked to: "RIM, unlike rivals Nokia and Apple, operates its own network through secure servers located in Canada and other countries such as Britain." I have a high degree of respect for Apple (and somewhat for Nokia), but isn't it odd that RIM was being targeted by the host country but Nokia and Apple weren't? Perhaps they had a way to monitor communications (or at least get meta data) on Nokia and Apple phones, but they couldn't monitor RIM because RIM maintained its servers outside of the country.

In summary, cut some slack on RIM. RIM did use good encryption and did put up a fight. Many other companies have done and are doing much much worse.

"Facebook had been caught designing algorithms to identify stressed, overwhelmed, and anxious teenagers on its network, presumably to assist advertisers who might want to target them"

From NYTimes story last November
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/14/technology/facebook-data-...

"But it wasn’t the looming disaster at Facebook that angered Ms. Sandberg. It was the social network’s security chief, Alex Stamos, who had informed company board members the day before that Facebook had yet to contain the Russian infestation……….She appeared to regard the admission as a betrayal.....“You threw us under the bus!” she yelled at Mr. Stamos………………Ms. Sandberg has overseen an aggressive lobbying campaign to combat Facebook’s critics, shift public anger toward rival companies and ward off damaging regulation. Facebook employed a Republican opposition-research firm to discredit activist protesters, in part by linking them to the liberal financier George Soros. It also tapped its business relationships, lobbying a Jewish civil rights group to cast some criticism of the company as anti-Semitic"

It seems odd because it is. I live in Japan, tried to learn Japanese like I did learn English and German: through reading, as the true asocial geek I am. Well, that's not possible unless you know about 1000 kanjis, unless you stick with kids book or some mangas (which, actually, I am not that interested in)

To learn Japanese you need to learn to speak it first.

I stopped caring about kanjis wen I realized that a 15 year old, top of her class, was having difficulties reading news articles because of some words she did not know.

That's polemical and I would not tell it that upfront to my Japanese friends but I feel like kanjis are a vastly inferior writing system compared to the alphabets they have. The reason why it still exists is to create an educational hierarchy: the more kanjis you know, the more educated you are.

Kanjis are of Chinese origin, they occupy a similar place in Japanese culture than Latin does in European cultures. I wish they would do like Koreans and get rid of it altogether, but it will never happen. The culture here is far too conservative for such a brutal change. They even call the furikana (kanji "subtitles" that explicit the pronunciation) as a dumbing down.

This is an example where obfuscation is confused for depth.

I find this hard to believe considering the many years I spent on his forum, and especially in comparison to many of the advice touted by gurus from other hubs.

One excerpt:

-How a dose of GHRP-2 affects a change in GH - CHARTED OUT

"Sometimes people seem to get confused... When you use a GHRP or Mod GRF (1-29)/GHRP two things happen. One the GHRP or Mod GRF (1-29)/GHRP enters the blood stream and slowly disappears from the blood stream. But what it does (by binding to cells in the pituitary) is increase the appearance of GH in the bloodstream.

So GHRP or Mod GRF (1-29)/GHRP are involved in a two-step move that modulates the appearance of GH. The two-step dance is nicely graphed out for us in Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Growth Hormone-Releasing Peptide-2: A Phase I Study in Children, Catherine Pihoker, Gregory L. Kearns, Daniel French, And Cyril Y. Bowers, Clin Endocrinol Metab 83: 1168–1172, 1998

In words, you can see GH peak in the blood stream at 30 minutes. This understanding you are probably familiar with. You can see that the initial drop in GHRP-2 corresponds to the GH rise. This disappearance primarily comes from GHRP-2 being taken up into the pituitary. An analogy would be 100 people on the street, 30 minutes later 70 of them have opened doors to houses on the street and entered. There are still 100 people, but only 30 left on the street with 70 in the houses. At the 30 minute mark GHRP-2 reflects the lesson of this analogy.

After 30 minutes there may be more binding opportunities for GHRP-2 in serum and so some may also be taken up but most will be cleared over the next 1.5 hours.

What is responsible for GH's disappearance from serum? Well to use the people/street analogy, it too begins to open doors and get off the serum street and bind to cells. This continues to take place over the next hour.

So to put this two step into context, both GHRP-2 & GH follow the same pattern. They appear in serum and then disappear because they have found their respective doors. However GHRP-2 steps out on the street 30 minutes earlier then GH which is not awoken until GHRP-2 wakes it up.

GH will then bind to receptors from approximately 30 minute post-injection to 90 minutes post injection."

This is one small sample. There was a wealth of information lost when the forum was taken down.
That doesn't make customers think that FSD is Any Day Now so they'll spring for the option when they order.
The question to ask is whether it's due to internal or external factors such as market saturation.
That would be an incorrect title, since Tesla is still selling the 35K model
If anyone actually bought the base model this is kind of an upgrade for them TBH. Plus now they have the option to software upgrade their car, which they wouldn't really get - especially with the manually adjusting seats.
Man, things have changed. I used to be on Slashdot, where it was a badge of honor if you didn't RTFA (read the fine article).
The issue here is not that other companies have worse security, we can rightfully assume thats true. The issue here is that by specifically releasing the keys to such a gov't they could have put peoples lives in danger that specifically relied on their lauded security and encryption.

So I agree with you fully, but I also do not have to cut them any slack as what they did was shitty.

Also, please have an upvote.
People do the analog of this all the time in cases where they believe an individual is receiving disproportionate accolade for a team effort. It's extremely common in entrepreneurial situations. As a typical example, take Elon Musk. Whenever anybody directly attributed e.g. SpaceX's rockets to him, they'd often be quickly "corrected" by a rather large number of people. Elon himself would also go out of his way to emphasize that the things "he" had achieved were largely a product of the great people that made up his team.

I think people let their own personal biases destroy their impartiality. Replace her name with Musk, algorithm with science/engineering, and 'image of a black-hole' with reusable rocket. The article would (and does) read like something posted by a sycophantic fanboy. It wouldn't be doing him any favors, and certainly isn't doing her any favors. However, I also do not think this article is representative of her in any way, shape, or form.

For instance it tries to frame things in the most narcissistic way possible. They found one image posted where the developer stated, "Watching in disbelief as the first image I ever made of a black hole was in the process of being reconstructed." So she made that image. Not a team, not the project of a coordinate global effort, no - she made that image. Even the image framing itself is indicative. It's a tiny out of focus image of a laptop and a giant in focus image of her with an artificial pose. The article itself continues with a similar narrative in all the eye-catching spots such as the headline and image captions: "Katie Bouman designed an algorithm that made the image possible" "Katie Bouman: The woman behind the first black hole image", and so on.

But as mentioned, I doubt this is indicative of the developer herself. She's probably just being used by the media. She's attractive, young, and has the right genitalia = stories that'll get a million clicks and shares = $$$. When you actually read the very small number of quotes from her, they seem much more realistic and in stark contrast to the media sensationalism:

- "No one of us could've done it alone. It came together because of lots of different people from many different backgrounds."

- "We're a melting pot of astronomers, physicists, mathematicians and engineers, and that's what it took to achieve something once thought impossible".

Perf boost compared to what? It can't be a FCP perf boost relative to server-side rendered plain old CSS and HTML, because shadow DOM requires client-side JavaScript.

This is a top quality post!

Just came to add that in a vacuum, every language seems insane:

- Most European languages have genders attached to every noun, you have to memorize them. French/Spanish/Italian has 2, Russian and German has 3

- every Chinese word has one of 4 tones (for mandarin, good luck if you want to learn a dialect) you also have to memorize these

- in European languages you have verb conjugation and some languages also have declension which is foreign to other languages.

That said, there seems to be a lot of implicit logic where most native speakers get by with a combination of rote memory and also some heuristics which capture most cases well enough.
> The legal system decides whether or not an action was legal

This isn't quite right. The legal system decides if a person is guilty of committing an illegal act, and if so, what the sentence should be. The system may find that the person did not actually perform the act they were accused of doing, regardless of the legality of that act.
The issue every single country you listed is that space tech and ICBM tech are virtually the same. Those countries are good at it because they make excellent missiles for war. It is a sad reality. NASA and the DoD work hand in hand together, and virtually always have.

Jim Balsillie actually tried to change course, open up, and monetize BBM. He was shot down hard by the rest of the board, who thought hardware was the way to go.

You tried to claim we knew nothing about Bitcoin's adoption because 95% of exchange trades are fake. I'm telling you this is irrelevant. Exchange trades tell us nothing about Bitcoin's adoption. They are just noise from wash traders, crooked exchanges, arbitragers, etc.

To gauge Bitcoin's adoption you need to look at on-chain transactions, not exchange trades. Makes sense?
Of course they do, they just value you differently. When companies announce slower growth it impacts their valuation because it impacts the discounted value of their future cash flows.
Well, Von Braun was most definitely a nazi and not driven by threats of bodily harm. He was just very into rockets, and worked with whoever let him develop them.
I think that the author misses the point.

The question is how can we build better frontend apps and not should we use frameworks or not. In the end there are only tools for different purposes.

Context and history are important to fully grasp WebComponents.

WebComponents arose when there was jQuery and decoupling of CSS, HTML and JS.

If you look back 10 years, there was no real separation of concern and Web purists like today always disliked the idea of mixing CSS in JS.

Then came NodeJS and frontend build tools started to provide better tools (GruntJS etc.) for compile time checks. Encapsulating CSS in JS for example solved the problem of overuse of id selectors, greedy class selectors and namespace collisions - domains that WebComponents tries to solve with Shadow DOM etc.

Todays frontend frameworks in combination with the underlying build tools provide a lot of the abstraction that WebComponents want to give developers. So I would rather say that WC are another tool which can be used by modern frameworks.

It is like saying air pollution can be solved by driving slower on highways when there are only combustion engines. Why should teslas be punished for the wrong reasons? Same goes for WebComponents. Good idea, great abstraction but context is important.

I cannot on same (iPhone SE)
I agree. The other day I was driving and thinking about this, and I started noticing "how many times during this drive have I looked another human (driver or pedestrian) in the eyes in order to determine their intentions?" It was a significant number even in a 15 minute drive.

I was still thinking about it during my bike ride later in the day, and I noticed that more than a dozen times I exchanged looks and nods with drivers to ensure they had seen me and that it was safe to do something.

No self driving car is able to look a human in the eyes and determine their likely course of action. And it most certainly won't be able to signal to the human a message as complex as "I have understood your intentions".

Question two: That would anger many people and cause much defensiveness.

It blows my mind that this is the reality I live in and that you are the only person to bring this up in this heavily commented thread.

As someone who grew up in left wing (espoused more than practiced) Boston but chose the search for truth over this hateful leftist religion I’ve spent my whole life trying to understand political and religious motives (really one and the same). One of the things I’ve come to understand is that it is human nature to find an easy enemy to fight even if there is none or you are too cowardly to fight a real enemy. White men have become this easy and compliant enemy for the left. Nevermind reality it’s too uncomfortable.
If all crimes were enforced then we probably wouldn't have so many possible crimes, because even the politicians are committing them.

Cause and effect go the other way. Actively pursuing a dominating international position was caused by the shift to more federal power. That came about mostly due to:

1. the Civil War, establishing a new level of federal supremacy

2. the 16th amendment, establishing a federal income tax

3. the 17th amendment, which stopped states from choosing senators who would rein in federal power

Other factors may be:

4. abuse of the commerce clause, with West Coast Hotel Co. v. Parrish and the end of the Lochner era.

5. ease of movement and communication (rail, cars, radio, TV) reducing feelings of identification with individual states

6. the speed and complexity of modern war making it necessary to continuously maintain an active-duty military with an active weapons supply industry
This is also the dumb part of the theories about why the US invaded Iraq for the oil.
Look up business model canvas. Identify all the core components. See which parts are riskiest. Very often the risk lies in marketing channels, value proposition, and partners.

Validation is testing those risks. If your risk is in finding partners, find those partners first and talk to them, validate that this is something they want. You don't need a product for this; sometimes slides are good enough.

If you're testing marketing channels, you can create a dummy page, market that through your channels, then shut it down. Don't do a landing page. Nobody trusts landing pages.

If you want to test value proposition, build your product against that, no more. If the demand is strong enough, nobody cares how hacky it looks, which is often why enterprise software is so ugly.

jQuery? I think your just making up nonsense there.

Fully ten percent of the web is using web components at this typing, and it's continued growth is steady as more and more libraries and frameworks, excepting those least able to easily leverage them, bring them into the their own projects. YouTube, ING, McDonald's, and other adopters are some pretty loud crickets.

You can’t break and enter and then claim that it was legal because all you did was read documents you used to write a New York Times article.
