I think you read over the part where I said it was illegal.

You don't need to invent scenarios, you can use the facts of this case.

Manning already had access and didn't need the password to be cracked. Wikileaks already received information from Manning. Someone in the chat log told Manning they would pass the hash to someone else. They then told Manning "no luck so far".

Keep in mind, they haven't provided any proof that the person Manning was talking to was Assange. They haven't provided any proof that Assange did in fact try to crack it He never wrote that he would try, only that he would pass it on. Or that he actually send the hash to someone else to crack it, and that this person did in fact tried to crack it.

And to top it all off, Manning did not need the password in the first place! People keep forgetting this. The case against Assange appears to be very weak and is probably only intended to get him on US soil to question him about things other than what he is charged with.

There is lit-html and lit-element, though you can get tripped up by the difference between props and attributes coming from React JSX where everything is props because it’s all native JS until the DOM render...

It’s tricky to recommend them because I’m using web components at work and find the transition from React especially rocky. But they are native and standard, and other frameworks are slowly moving in that direction... I expect React will be the last to adopt them, or they’ll push for spec changes before they do...

open-wc is also worth a mention: https://dev.to/thepassle/announcing-open-web-components-5h7 - their guide and setup for using web components is over here: https://open-wc.org/guide/#quickstart

You can also technically start using native es modules in browsers, either localhost in Chrome 74+ or via origin whitelist with Google. Or use a polyfill such as Guy Bedford’s https://github.com/systemjs/systemjs/blob/master/docs/import... or https://github.com/guybedford/es-module-shims — but you’ll have to consider solutions for custom syntax, scss or non-es module dependencies. I personally think there’s a gap in the npm ecosystem which is building “source packages” that are native single-file es modules you can easily import or compile from with a native JS module system...
I'm glad to hear this take. I came from Angular v1 and got sick of the framework churn, so jumped over to Web Components around 2015/2016 instead of going React. I abandoned Polymer pretty quickly around v0.6 because things were changing too much and just went plain vanilla JS + Web Components. I've been building applications since then with just Web Components and couldn't be happier. Unfortunately I just don't have enough experience with React to debate any of these points - I guess I just have to leave it that React is a need I don't have.
A similar switch happened in 1970, when the Prime Minister of Myanmar suddenly and mysteriously decided that the country would switch to driving on the right-hand side of the road. The crazy thing is that the vast majority of vehicles today still have steering wheels on the right because the country has been buying used cars from Japan for years. Large vehicles like buses need a person acting as a spotter on the left side of the vehicle for safety! The Government finally mandated that, starting in 2017, imported vehicles must have steering wheels on the left side. Many drivers did not want to switch and thus there was a mad rush to buy cars in 2016, which the government was forced to counter by temporarily shutting-down imports.
I accept that Amazon, Google, etc. are likely listening to me with computer AI, but the fact the employees could pass these around causes some worry. It's like when I worked my first job at AOL and people would read Rosie O'Donnell's mail and chats. The human element is more troubling than the AI.

At the same time, it's totally common for professors to ride on the efforts of research students under their direction, to the point of being ethically questionable.

You might as well credit the Linux operating system to only a single man, whose effort is certainly largely responsible, but for who also does not in any way represent the whole of effort.

> This prosecution is clearly politically motivated. Previous admin chose not to indict, politics happened and new admin decided to dig it up again.

That is not a logical statement.

One administration choosing to treat a case differently than another administration can happen without bad politics. Different people see things differently. Assange's recent loss of asylum got the attention of new decision makers so the timing doesn't mean anything either.

Your original and continued statements amount to: "I have no evidence but darn it I know it!"

Of course bad politics could be involved. I.e. a campaign PR move, instead of making rational decisions in the countries interest. But you didn't reference any evidence.

Here is some evidence: Trump doesn't seem to approach anything without overwhelming self-interest. (That argument has nothing to do with your nonsensical argument.)

But that is not conclusive. Maybe someone competent made a well thought out decision (whether or not you and I agree with it).
Slots require shadow DOM which means there can be performance and CSS issues on widgets designed for local use with shared CSS. But I agree they’re also an option. :)
Well, regardless of your opinion of Assange, he cannot be guilty of traitorous activity. He is not a US citizen or even resident. He is not in a position to have committed treason against the US. Might he have committed crimes against the US? Sure, if the conspiracy to break into US Gov systems charge is true.

Now Manning? That was treason, arguably during a time of war. Once upon a time, that was a summary execution. Manning got off easy with the 35 year initial sentence and even easier after Obama commuted the sentence.
It's nice to see more charities popping up focused on narrow goals, like planting milkweed for monarch butterflies, and flowering plants for bees.
> Web Components don’t offer a declarative way of updating the DOM;

What does that mean? The methods provided by the web components spec appear declarative as do the methods provided by the DOM spec. Declarative example with nothing like innerHTML: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/att...

Either way this discussion is stupid as updating the DOM is stupid simple even without a framework. The DOM is neither stateful or stateless, but rather that describes the implementation of your application logic.

I think FH acceleration off the pad is slightly higher than F9. Makes sense since there's 3x as much liftoff thrust but generally the liftoff mass is not 3x that of a F9.
Sorry if I was unclear, that quote is in continuance of the earlier line, full argument:

Were you cracking an Administrator password of the United States Military protecting classified war logs with an intent to distribute them to the public?
No. WCs can only replace one aspect of React or Vue. You still need a better way to manipulate the dom and react to data changes than pure vanilla.
I don't necessarily think everything should be Canvas, but rethinking the way pages render wouldn't be a bad idea. The issue I take with Canvas in particular is that it's poor for accessibility, password managers, and other services.

I think part of the reason why the DOM and layout engines are so slow and complicated is just because of years of cruft and whatnot. A minimal layout engine with most the abilities of Flex and Grid would be nice.
Yes you have to authenticate any new devices from one of your existing devices.

I often wonder whether we'd be better off if we "tolerated" a small amount of corruption. What's the point in spending $1 million on red tape and auditors to prevent $10,000 in fraud?

Just like the war on drugs, you're fighting a moral crusade against the basest part of human nature. You're always going to lose - better to just accept it and do what's needed to minimize net loss.
A really stupid simple way to think of it is --

Imagine you're hovering a hundred feet off the ground. You still need to be burning your engine at a full g, but you're not going anywhere. You're spending LOTS of fuel for zero movement. Now imagine you can only burn at 1.01 g; you will VERY slowly start moving upwards, but you'll be spending a colossal amount of fuel for the same result.

Now imagine instead you're burning at 3g; suddenly you're actually accelerating quite quickly, and you're overall burning much less fuel to go the same distance.

Ask HN: How do you identify the people to interview on an IT project?
I'd like your input for an article I'm writing.

Let’s say you’re starting a new IT project. You're brought in to make it happen (as contractor, staff, freelancer). It could be custom software; a migration to cloud services; a shiny new IoT project. Whatever. You’re in charge of the design (or an important part of it), and making sure that the resulting system makes everybody happy.

How do you make sure that you are interviewing the right people to find out what “make them happy” looks like? What do you do to get input from the people who matter for the project’s success… without inviting so many suggestions that it’s impossible to deliver everything?

Case in point: Ten years ago I was in charge of an online tech community. The company I worked for hired custom developers to build the software platform, but the developers never talked to me. They interviewed the boss, two levels above me (who just so happened to be the person who signed the checks) even though she had never used this online community or any other. Needless to say, the community software they delivered was horrible, missing basic-to-me features.

Formally this process would be called “identifying the project stakeholders” or “master the requirements-gathering process” but that seems too corporate-speak. I’m looking for real-world examples of what works and what doesn’t, so I can write a genuinely useful article with practical guidelines.

Note that this is NOT about the questions to ask those stakeholders; that’s another discussion. Here I am writing merely (merely!) about making sure you are speaking to the people whose input you need.

My questions:

• How do you decide which people to ask for input? In what way do you find those people? How do you know when you have everyone you should?

• How do you decide whom NOT to invite? Where do you draw the line?

• Tell me about the manner in which you learned that lesson. (The hard way. Anecdotes are good.)

I'd still say it's a difficult decision to make: whether you'd like a significant portion of your country to suffer from caffeine withdrawal and not be able to function properly, or have some additional people starve 3 months from the start of the disaster, with would only happen if there was no additional help and at that point you’re probably not going to get more food anytime soon…
You don't need do decentralize it. You only need to make it easy to mirror content in case it's taken down. Wikipedia has a lot to lose by not complying (site getting blocked, donations cut off, etc.), but unaffiliated third parties don't. Get them to host censored content. Russian users can host German censored content, and German users can host Russian censored content. Combine this with a notice on every page that has content removed so people know when to look for it.
I can imagine a world where this would be useful, being able to drop something in as easy as a <select/> element seems fine.

It seems useful for UI primitives, like a dialog, tooltip etc, that the browsers might not implement as native elements themselves. But as a building block for creating entire applications? I don’t think so.

Which means they’re always going to need to hook into the framework that’s rendering them, either to connect state, managing effects, or for styling.

I just don’t see sharing a component regardless of framework as a major problem worth solving right now. Buy into a framework and community like React and you can just drop components into your app. It’s not framework-agnostic but it works.
Psst - Microsoft owns Atom too...
It's an asinine premise to say that the sex or race of a person makes an accomplishment more or less praiseworthy. If you really believe all are created equal, then you should be willing to praise equally for the same accomplishment regardless. If you don't, then what you are stating is that a sex or race is normally quite incompetent at such things and that it had to be a greater effort.

Individuals do have different circumstances to overcome to reach success, but you won't measure that simply by stating that someone is woman, so she's had things hard.

(Edit) It would be totally ridiculous in nearly any society to say that the richest women in society are as disadvantaged as the poorest of men, so we can say that typical SJW habits are totally insignificant at leveling any real playing field.

Some women feel threatened by their societies. Then there are some societies that feel threatened by their women. Putting women on some pedestal because you feel they can't normally do something, frankly is insulting.

They don't use streaming delays. They broadcast it live.

There's a huge difference between watching something LIVE and watching it on a delay. Sports are also broadcast live, and also wouldn't be the same on a delay.
That’s true, but you don’t get clicks from outrage by just saying the boring truth. I’ve also been reading rants from people who think the US is going to throw a bunch of other charges at him when he gets here, which is just hilariously wrong. In general a state can’t request extradition on charge A then throw B-Z into the mix when the plane lands. The only way to expand on the original charges are with permission from the country which received the original request on the basis of new information.

But again, that doesn’t feed the conspiracy-minded mob or generate clicks.

Edit response to emiliobumachar:

If the US broke international law and their treaties with the UK it would be a really bad look at the very least. Conversely if that doesn’t happen what are you going to be convinced of?

Canberra is situated in a horst and graben [1] landscape with multiple prominent ridges separating the various urban 'valley' sections of the city.

Don't get me wrong, I can see some of the reasons why they may have picked Canberra. Generally a population with a high percentage of early tech adopters. Houses set back from the road with easy landing driveways at front. Power lines run along the back of property lines, not along the street. Etc, etc. Just I think they underestimated the resistance they are very likely to experience and also underestimated the danger of annoying the actual lawmakers who live there.

> The DOM is neither stateful or stateless, but rather that describes the implementation of your application logic.

One of the bizarre realities with those forced to write their own "virtual DOM" library, as I have done, is to deal with all the so-called hidden state. Form field values, the user's current text selection, scrolling position. Without a virtual DOM, simply replacing existing nodes with innerHTML or replaceChild will stomp this away. I'm not of the opinion that you need a full framework to handle this state (I wrote my own 10-line helper function which works in most cases I care about [0]), but you do need something more structured than just replacing nodes wholesale.

Standards are dead the moment there is one rendering engine. It doesn't matter what W3C says it only matters whst Chromium does. That was the status quo we had with IE6.

That's the point of having multiple browsers. You took one of the strongest arguments against a browser engine monoculture and made it into an argument in favour of browser monoculture? We've ALREADY HAD browser monoculture and it resultee in the death of standards.
