Again, this is tough to articulate, and I'm not sure I'm going to do a good job, but:

Good design seeks to limit the amount that we rely on that state in the DOM. Typically speaking, I try to listen for events on input elements. I don't rely on them as a state store.

Text inputs in particular here are kind of a good example, because they often get used in combination with validation and autofill. I've seen a lot of bugs and spaghetti code come out of running validation on field update, and using that validation to update or fill in other fields, and needing to track which update will trigger another event, and so on.

I'm not saying we should get rid of interactive elements on the web, but I think they fall into something of a grey area that shouldn't necessarily be encouraged. I use inputs to get the current user state, and to respond to user input -- I try very hard not to use them as a state store for application-level data.

I kind of think I would still say the same thing about inputs as I would about regular HTML elements -- input elements are for your users, they're not for you. They're not your interface, they're just the way your users communicate with you.
It seems odd to rail against custom HTML tags requiring code to drive them. Unless you want custom tags to basically just be text-replacement macros for built-in elements you're gonna need some code somewhere to actually make them work.

In a parallel universe where web components came first the built-in tags would themselves be web components backed by JS instead of having native implementations.

The test you described is useful for determining how many words in a text you will know - i.e. what percentage in a given set of English. That's probably a more useful number, but it's not what parent asked: "I was hoping for [...] how many English worsd [sic] I know."

> Obviously both tests become more accurate as the number of words increases but the vocabulary.ugent.be test requires you to test all 60k words to get an accurate result.

They could never get an accurate result for words known in a body wih this test - it needs a separate dataset of word frequency. That's not what they're testing.
With tens of thousands of retail workers involved, that's hardly surprising that some would suggest the technique.

That doesn't change the fact that these sorts of abuses of a return policy cost everyone else money, and risk getting the policy shortened/restricted for all.
In my experience I lose hundreds on my deposit every time (with very little actual wear to validate that loss). I've only ever rented in major cities though, so maybe it's less aggressively slum-lordy elsewhere.

If you do have more possessions than you can move yourself, or your moving long distances, you end up spending a ton of money. Movers usually cost me 5-10k and I didn't even have a lot of stuff (2bd apartment worth of possessions). Ditto if you need your car(s) moved.
Insider threat is absolutely a risk.

The other risk if you don't fully and publicly mitigate insider threat is someone applying pressure to your employees to do something bad. (The intel community and other high risk environments have long had this threat model). This is basically identical to insider threat at time of pressure, although there are some different countermeasures leading up to it.

The low end of this is catching someone doing something they shouldn't (browsing porn on a work computer, having a relative with legal difficulties, etc.) and applying that as leverage. Usually "report early, no action will be taken against you" is a good policy for minor things.

I would NEVER expect (or want) someone to do anything but fully comply with an attacker who has kidnapped his kid and credibly threatens to do something horrible unless he authorizes a payment. My instructions to the insiders are "comply; we have technical countermeasures which will make those attacks fail".

Atari 2600 Homebrew Made in 30 Days – Development Log
No memory is held by any chiplet, it's all held by the IO die and chiplets ask the IO die to access memory for it.

So there is no longer "near" and "far". In a sense, it's all "far" now (but hopefully not too far). But it is all uniform now.

GANs Intro for Everyone
You might be able to use an authorized Apple Service Provider for the repair and have the machines out of your hands for way less time.

For example, I just had the battery (+ top case) on my late 2013 15" MBP replaced this week. I brought it to a local service shop for a quick inspection, then took the machine home. Part arrived the next day, brought it back in, and it was all done in a couple of hours.
Or just some sort of OS X notification/pop-up. Since they don't notify the customers, even though they have the means, it looks like they're doing the recall for liability reasons only and want to actually replace as few batteries as possible to limit the costs.
There's no index, Next/Previous Post links at the bottom of each page.

The game debuted on ZeroPage Homebrew yesterday. The developer was in the chat: https://youtu.be/zbmIs_P2Za0?t=9043&vq=hd1080

The speed at which this was done, and the quality of the game are awe inspiring. The 2600 is a... unique system to develop for, and this was his first time.
That's how they treated developers too, though. For Facebook, they give you an API where you can post generic things. For updating my apps to Google Plus, I found they forced you to only use certain verbs, and ignored requests to add more. So they just felt they knew better than the third party developers and ended up making their platform difficult to post from apps (games, tools, etc.).
I had my keyboard replaced a few months ago on my MBP--it sounds like a similar process since they replaced my battery, too.

It was going to be like a week to make an Apple Store appointment. I was able to walk into a local Mac shop on Apple's list of official service centers. At that time they sent it to the same offsite shops for service and they said it would take 1-2weeks. I asked about a loaner or if Apple had any sort of program since I need something in the meantime (even with different specs). I know Apple has a 14day return policy on new hardware, but I hate to abuse that. That local Mac shop was able to work something out with me with some refurbs they had on hand, but I don't think their supervisor was happy about it.

I got my computer back 5 days later. Since then, I've heard theres been a push to do more of these kinds of repairs in store to decrease the turnaround time by a lot.

A lot of this has to do with the original design. Old cars had oil filters you could take off with your hand, then you needed a special tool, then a stick thing with a strap, then you needed to take something off before you can use that tool. Apple keyboards used to lift up to expose the RAM, the batteries could be removed by sliding a tab (this was when the battery life was only a few hours and the life of the battery was like 200 cycles). Personally, I was much happier when maintenance was somewhere between that and what we have now.

For non-electronics, I bought a huge umbrella online once. It was missing a thin metal rod that helped form a hinge in the umbrella. I told the company this, they sent me a new one and told me to throw the old one away.

Because throwing it away would be ridiculously wasteful, instead I went to Home Depot, bought a steel rod of appropriate diameter for $3, cut off a piece and used that.

So I got 2 umbrellas for the price of one.
> Then when the cops would seize the machines and cut power to save as much evidence as they could, they'd actually be doing the opposite.

Let's for a second assume that forensic computer technicians aren't completely incompetent and actually understand that you do not pull the plug on a system that potentially contains evidence the first thing you do.

While this has been known to happen in the past, I can almost guarantee it's because of "helpful" police officers, much in the same way the job of any forensic technician can be ruined by good intentions of those who don't know better.

Don't know if it is still the case, but last time I was in an apartment (early 2000s) there were also limitations for Internet and Television. DirecTV was popular at the time, I was the first to put a dish in a bucket on the balcony. The apartment managers said I had to take it down and use Comcast. Fortunately, when presented with a printout of the FCC rules they reneged and dishes started popping up all over the complex... Which didn't do great things for the brochure :)

SSDs would also require additional SATA (in my case) ports and a place to install the SSDs. I used all of those for the devices that are actually storing my data.

Because this is a "real" (headless) 2U server, none of the USB ports were being used so, while dedicated SSDs for the boot volume would be nice, a pair of decent 16 GB USB flash drives have been doing a wonderful job serving as my mirrored "freenas-boot" pool.

A huge demographic is aging out of real estate ownership. There are far fewer Gen Xers than Boomers. Even if Millennials had the same economy the Boomers had, they're a full generation behind the Boomer's retirement curve.

So, yeah, there aren't as many people producing demand for these houses even before considering different tastes in living style. It's a bad investment to put your life's savings in something with a plan to resell it to a less interested market. Either retire into it and get the use out of it or don't put your money there.

The market is just correcting in a quite foreseeable way.

G+ failed by not understanding Facebook and by not having any intention of giving disgruntled Facebook users what they wanted.

My sense is Facebook in particular brought as many people "online" as did all the previous Internet innovations combined.

Essentially, it did this by giving the functionality of previous online communication approaches while minimizing the noise and merging these together into a "real" relationship called "friend". (Facebook didn't do more than email, blogs and chat, it did less but in a way that people wanted).

Online data can easily form a stream of bits and bytes each person puts together into a different form. This stream only becomes "a thing", a "document", etc when some group of people all perceive it the same way. Facebook made "friends", "posts" and so-forth into "things".

Just as much, human relationships have always had a tension between social-contextual identities and universal identities, between "real" identities and assumed identities. Facebook did a decent job of balancing all of these in that worked for a given individual and that worked for the-person-relating-to-the-given individual. Facebook's privacy model was broken and inherently broken but it still was key to Facebook's success because it's what people want, what human social interactions assume - ie, you can tell your friends things and they'll remain "secret". It's not true in the real world and it's not true on Facebook but it's what people to believe.

And yeah, G+ failed by not understanding any of this. I don't know exactly how many people understood this then aside from Facebook.
It's obviously an instance of fair use. Otherwise no indy auto repair shops could advertise, for example.

Where the problems come in is when the actual name of the business includes a third party trademark. Try calling your business "Joe's Cut-Rate Porsche Service" and you can expect a C&D order.
In a high-demand area like SF you're probably seeing an appreciation in the value of the owned property equal or greater than whatever you would be likely to earn from other investments.

According to Trulia[1] the median sale price for two-bedroom homes increased from $1.010M five years ago to $1.407M today, which corresponds to an annual return of about 6.8%. Assuming that trend continues, the actual spread would be more like -4.3% for ownership (2.5% cost minus 6.8% appreciation) vs. 3% for renting, or 7.3% altogether in favor of ownership. You'd only come out ahead by renting if you can find an investment returning more than 7.3% per year.

Not just functionality. Even the styles are broken if you disable JS.

That's not "graceful degradation". It's full loss of functionality. Whereas graceful degradation is

Graceful degradation is the ability of a computer, machine, electronic system or network
to maintain limited functionality even when a large portion of it has been destroyed
or rendered inoperative.

However, I was primarily responding to "javascript exists for animation and data fetching". As you clearly see, it exists for way more than just that.
It sticks in your brain in more ways than one. When someone tells you about Bvckup, they have to clarify "Backup with a V" and that forces you to think about it longer because there's no letter in "backup" that could be confused with a V.

Slack Stock Soars as Messaging Company Goes Public
Currently modern C++ plus a ton of specialized tooling that covers much of the ground of Ada, just not built into the language. It is a balancing act to keep development from becoming unwieldy and the 80/20 rule applies. Code that is easy to verify also tends to be slow, and that is not a tradeoff you can make for some applications. No one is running something as complex as a database kernel through an end-to-end theorem prover. Design verification scales well (model checkers and similar), implementation not so much due to practical limits on what you can prove and accumulated complexity/bugs in the specification, and verification of code generation is very limited (I use the LLVM stack). Nonetheless, this gets you to a very low defect rate and it isn't like this code is being written from scratch every time.

Even with a fully verified toolchain there will still be bugs. I once had a customer find a rare bug in a database engine that was ultimately caused by slight differences in behavior between microarchitectures running the same binary.

> But you're trying to reach some kind of value judgement from this point - as if "artifical construction" means it's bad in some way.

I'm not saying property is bad nor am I making a value judgement about it. I'm saying is that it's a concept created by the state.

> So, pay off the potential looters and thieves to sooth them? You do understand that this is basically "might makes right" moral imperative and nothing more?

You're begging the question. There's no such thing as "looters" prior to the concept of property.

> First of all, the artificially constructed right of private property is given to all, equally.

Sure, just as basic necessities like education, food and housing should be.

> And second of all, while both of these rights are artificially constructed, one is moral, while the other is not.

Again, not at all clear how you're making a moral judgement about this issue prior to the creation of the concept of property. Yes, stealing is wrong, but in order to steal something it has to belong to someone first. If we're trying to figure out what should belong to who, it's silly to come into the discussion by simply insisting that stealing is wrong.

I could just as easily say that the wealth of a society belongs to everyone prior to it's distribution. Why then should rich people be entitled to steal it from poor people? Stealing is wrong, remember.
I feel like that's the standard language they've used on these pages previously. I imagine that's just room for them to deny you in case you had swapped out the battery yourself or otherwise disqualified yourself. But I'd love to hear back from others. I'm sure talking to someone at Apple could also clarify.

1-2 weeks sucks even if they had an option for a loaner (which they tend not to)...especially for "pro" equipment.

Also, I tend not to trust repair shops in general. I backup and often wipe my equipment before handing it over. This also means I don't have to hand over passwords.
The Problem is TRADE not H1B visas . ...

Simple example
every Enterprise level company has IT department in US. the CTO or the VP of the company wants to save money by going to offshore business model ... so how does this work, let say an infrastructure IT support in company consists of ( storage, database, network , System admins etc say about 150 employees) then a new CTO or VP of IT comes in and he decides to go for offshore model then enters the cheap low tech incompetent service companies from Asia bids these projects here .. let say 200 Million dollars for 5 years 24/7 support .. so these Body shopping company decides to have about 60 employees offshore and 10 employees onshore here in USA using H1b visa ... now the CTO of the company feels happy for saving money and starts firing ..sorry (Let go) of those 150 citizens..... this happens in every company across this country i know because I've seen it All..

now those employees who given their flesh and blood to those projects over years gets emotionally raged...at the time of KT( knowledge transfer) to those H1B onshore slaves.. saying you guys are taking our jobs away. and all that BS. BUT they forget One big Logic/common sense..that they lost their jobs because satanic .. crooked CTO's or VP of IT of their own company and due to the company it self .... not because immigrant came over H1B visa..

Let say for the argument of emotional mob .. that the H1b is completely removed by some revolution...do you really think the jobs will come back hahaha... those body-shopping companies will be more happy because that will give them a chance to make more money.. they will make 100% offshore and then they wont even keep those 10 h1b resources onshore.. they will make a deal with those crooked CTOs to operate everything from offshore ...so the emotional mob will be still unemployed even after H1B is removed ..

the solution is the current administration should bring up the trade barriers a Bill to stop offshore business model completely which they wont do since this country is built and run by Rich CEOs.......
