I did an Ionic/Angular project a few years back and it's a perfectly cromulent technology if stay within it's wheelhouse. If the app you're building could easily be a website, but the client wants an app store presence, this is by far the easiest way to get there. For delivering content-heavy screens that aren't a drag on CPU, it works fine. And it's also fine for layering in basic device functionality like location services.

If expectations and budget are low, it's a great option.
The argument given makes ZERO sense.

> For now, the physical media releases and touring Ghibli Fest screenings remain the only ways for fans to see these films. “Studio Ghibli does not make their films available digitally, whether for download or streaming, anywhere in the world,” a GKids representative told Polygon over email. “They continue to believe that presentation is vital and particularly appreciate opportunities for audiences to experience the films together in a theatrical setting.”

Huh? Physical media releases are digital and not watched in a theatrical setting.

There's zero difference in watching a DVD or Blu-Ray vs. streaming on your screen.
Sounds like the government is exempt so they're not violating the letter of the law but certainly are violating the spirit of the law.
So many posts say "Meetup.com sucks but they have 'the community'" I don't understand this sentiment. Your town or city is the community - not some random web site. And your town, if it's like mine, has one ore more newspapers that maintain community events calendars.

And Google manages events now with Google search. I google "beer event pittsburgh" and Google shows me the results.

What exactly is the value-add of meetup.com? An honest question. I attend all kinds of events and I almost never come across meetup.com.

This assumes that parents know what's best for their children. Is it just to the children that parents can spend a fortune on miseducating their children? (The Dutch family wasn't rich, but there can be seen that parents can totally go astray. [1])

Being a rich son (70% work for their father according to a linked study in the article) is essentially like being Tim Cook. It's a nice job that pays handsomely but who has the character to walk away and do what they really want to do? This links back to the beginning of my comment: do rich parents prepare their children for that move or do they try everything to lock their children into their heritage?

This is not an argument for standardized schooling. I am just wondering if being a rich kid actually comes with a huge price.

The department stores have the same sort of death spiral as malls - the quality drops, people stop going in, the quality drops again.

I’ve never in my life felt going to a department store I’d be met by someone knowledgeable in an area other than makeup.

One thing I’d have loved to see - an emphasis on customization and tailoring. Almost everyone could use a little custom tailoring for pants, blouses and shirts, and it does not scale online well at all as you need to be in person to get measured. If you like a shirt and it’s ill fitting, pay $15/20 for a cheap hem job and walk out feeling like a million bucks.

You're absolutely right.

Being honest no build is worth losing sleep over. We are piggybacking on their service and bandwidth. For us to start building the infrastructure to cache their images doesn't make financial sense, we deploy daily and their uptime always allows for that.
> I'm not convinced - if that's true, then there's so many frames that clicking the websocket would crash devtools, which is equally unacceptable.

I routinely see devtools of both Chrome and Firefox bog down if you preserve transactions or stay ona page with a log or background requests for a while or the console and load a few pages with a lot of ajax and/or js or that log a lot. I'm not making some assumption about a case that has no basis, I deal with the basis for what I'm assuming regularly.

> In my experience people tend to use websockets in a not that dissimilar way to how they'd previously use pure HTTP requests, but now the server can instantly push data back too. If that is typical (hard to say) then it shouldn't be too bad.

Sure. But as I noted, I see this with regular requests, so I'm not expecting websockets to show any new behavior, I'm just noting how this might help existing behavior I see.

> If people were using many (10s, 100s) of websockets in a single page then there would be an argument that individually they're manageable but together it's impossible, but I would be surprised if that's common. I'd love examples if it is!

Imagine the scenario of a page that generated a lot of websocket traffic. Maybe you've been examining something else in devtools for a few minutes (or you left it for an hour). You could have thousands of messages. Clicking on the websocket section might show you the single websocket and some summary info (bytes transferred, last communication time, what the endpoint is, etc). Clicking on the websocket to expand it might bog down, freeze or crash devtools as it loads too much data to easily display. I all the messages were shown separately, just clicking on the websocket section would likely cause the problems, and that might leave some information harder to find out or lost if you close and restart devtools.

UI design isn't always about making stuff easiest for the common case. Part of it is making sure the somewhat uncommon but not entirely rare case doesn't break the UI entirely, and that sometimes necessitates some trade-offs in the common case.
Apple sets aggressive timeline: Build a 5G modem for iPhones by 2022
Did I miss it or did the article not say what they arrested the older man for. Living in a basement isn't illegal in and of itself but the only hint of wrong doing is that the guy at the bar wanted to end the way they were living. I wouldn't be surprised if the family had been held against their will or there was some kind of abuse but the article doesn't mention it.
Another possibility would be that people are experiencing something in between "unusable" (which no-one is claiming) and "no problems"
Everyone I've ever met who went to one of these schools strikes me either as a straight-psychopath or someone who really wants to be one.
The neighbors and locals assumed that the house was a weed farm, which strangely enough are illegal here. They are often found in farm houses like this or in cheap units on industry terrains. The guy who rented the house also had such a unit.

The papers are reporting that some of the children were not registered, but it's still crazy.

I'd speculate that this happened because the mother died young and the father basically lost it and was enabled by the renter.
A “red scare” has washed over Silicon Valley
I think a lot of what you've said is true with me. I also think there is a "use it or lose it" particularity with IQ, as well. A close friend of mine, who, like me, also has an advanced degree and, like me, also doesn't use it or even know how to get into a job/career situation that would allow for it, also shares the feeling I have of being super freaking mentally stuck, socially isolated, demotivated, left behind, and prematurely burned out. So I'm not saying I blame our parents' generation for instilling arbitrary self-esteem in us, when cultivating discipline would have been far more helpful, and I'm not saying that it's their fault for instilling in us obsolete values and expectations for the future, for a world they never could have predicted, but perhaps I'll look into that e-book. Thank you for your comment.
The way I see it, proponents and opponents of meritocracy are arguing for/against different things.

Proponents of meritocracy see it as an ideal to strive for based on the idea that the most competent people should fill the most important roles. It's about trying to make society better through competence.

Opponents of meritocracy see it as a cover for privilege. They see people who are unfairly privileged using meritocracy as an excuse to reward themselves for their privilege.

This is how I would characterize the debate, anyway. It's hard to say whether anyone is arguing that only incompetent people should fill important roles. Nor do I see anyone trying to claim privilege doesn't exist at all, that everyone starts from an equal blank slate.

Ultimately, I don't see any way of breaking this impasse. At least not unless we succeed in creating a post-scarcity society where rewards for filling important roles are at best symbolic and everyone has all their needs met, regardless of ability.

In a society were it is normalized, sure. But can you imagine what systems such a society would come up with? So far we are only talking about shitty automated systems accidentally producing unwanted outcomes by e.g. reflecting subtle / unwitting / intolerable issues.

> and be much harder to correct once bias is identified

At the end of the day, I'd expect most social workers wanting to help and do a good job at it. AI hasn't reached that level, yet. So I'd expect a much better baseline from humans, with "fixing" outliers being much harder, yes.

I'd definitely consider using this. Mobile browser support used to be painful for this kind these "hybrid web apps", and animation performance wasn't up to scratch. But engine support is much better since Android 5, and phones have only been getting faster. It's not that hard to produce a performance mobile-web app these days.
The problem is google isn't just a search engine it's the information seeking megalith of our time. That little text input takes what you give it, determines what the hell you're trying to figure out, and delivers results on a level that just vastly supersedes anything else.

It was a jab at authoritarianism. I think that people should be able to consume what they want. I'm okay with warnings and public health campaigns to a degree, but heavy sin taxes go too far. If these sin taxes were there to actually offset the cost to society, then I might consider them, but they almost never do that. At first, maybe, but eventually every sin tax just turns into additional funding for the government.

Data-driven classification systems has made automatic encoding of technical images into symbolic form possible and in great efficiency.

Most times people say ID is "required" is because they are lazy and don't want to go through the effort of confirming identity using other means. There are certainly things that do legally require ID like opening a bank account, but others just have a strong preference for ID such as flying which can be done without ID if you are committed to fighting through the difficulties.

Your linked source is talking about an entirely different issue. Does not prove your point about Republicans using voter id laws to suppress the votes of certain demographics, or that it's a point of the Republican party as a national organization to do that. All we know is that some Republicans are biased, just as all people have biases. Also, your source is not substantiated.
