> Shadowroots are great when you need encapsulation of styles or static non-content UI, but with this outer element neither of those are true. There isn't any additional UI, nor styles.

To my understanding of these components, because they are meant to be styled by the user or a downstream design system the component authors don't know ahead of time where style encapsulation needs to happen, so this approach makes sense for that.

They're both real problems. Most of growth in the last decade has been from leveraging. A lot of people have BS jobs as a result of leveraging. Giving people money to avoid starvation (which is good), isn't going to change your leverage problem when it comes to businesses and banks.
Not entirely, people act according to the law as well. I’m sure there was a situation where you were thinking that a law didn’t make sense, but you acted accordingly anyways. And this law was put in place because two people had a problem with each other which had to be resolved. I’m just arguing we don’t need tolerance, because we have a mechanism in place, called the state, or the law, which resolves issues and not just ignores them, as tolerance does.
It's quite amazing how many people believe that a poor country like the China of the 1990s and early 2000s could manage to hoodwink the Western world into accepting an imbalanced relationship favoring China.

The fact is that Western companies benefitted massively from China's opening-up, and that China was forced to undergo many painful reforms in order to join the WTO. An entire generation of Chinese workers lost their social safety network as a result of the breaking up of the state-run sector.

The joint venture and IP transfer requirements, which have been rolled back over time, were a small price to pay in exchange for accessing a massive pool of cheap labor and a rapidly growing consumer market.

Hydrogen Car History
We seem to be in an anti-science phase right now - death threats against Dr. Fauci are a poignant example. Hopefully this won't last too long, but it could definitely slow down the pace of discovery. Back in the 50s-70s era the US recognized that they needed to emphasize science training in order to win the Cold War. A lot of progress then was driven by the space race. Public funding for science was lavish in that era as compared to the current era.

Hopefully our current anti-science, anti-intellectual phase is just that: a phase. But it's also possibly a harbinger of a longer dark age to come, at least for the US.
This action is unfortunately part of the normal progression of disruptive innovation. Upstart China has adopted a disruptive strategy of engaging with world markets while using heavy-handed regulation to avoid being controlled by those markets. Incumbent USG is now copying China's strategy, claiming that doing so is necessary to keep the US competitive. However, the US is a world leader through free markets and open collaboration, deferring control to markets even to the detriment of our own citizens. What copying China's strategy will actually do is cannibalize the US's existing economic structure, causing extreme damage to the US.

If we find proof that there's no dark matter then there must be something else like dark matter that behaves in the way that dark matter has been described (something with gravitational pull).

Since gravity requires mass then a universe where there's no dark matter (conceptually as matter) would completely invalidate Einstein's General Theory of Relativity.

That would completely break modern Physics. Right? I'm not expert and this is conjecture from my interest in cosmology and physics, so could someone with knowledge chime in and explain if what I'm saying make sense?

LitElement is written in TypeScript so has great typings for all APIs, and TypeScript (and Babel 7) decorators. There's also a template type-checker CLI, compiler plugin, and VS Code extension: https://github.com/runem/lit-analyzer

The big difference from Fast is that LitElement's render() method is an instance method, so it can access any state with `this.` and any properties and methods it uses can be overridden. But it's all just as declarative:

import { LitElement, customElement, property, html } from 'lit-element';

@customElement('hello-world')
export class HelloWorldElement extends LitElement {
@property()
name: string = 'World';

render() {
return html`
<h1>Hello ${this.name}</h1>
`;
}
}

We have decorators for reactive properties, registering elements, shadow root queries, and adding event listener options to methods: https://lit-element.polymer-project.org/guide/decorators

Suggest you read some microeconomics, specifically about rent-seeking, a market failure or market inefficiency typically but not always caused by politics.

As a simple example, consider that NYC taxi medallions were limited by NYC city council to about 13,000 and as a result, the market value of a medallion was about $1.2 million.

Then Uber/Lyft came and relieved the politically induced rent-seeking market failure of hailable vehicles in NYC and now medallions are worth a fraction of what they had been.

Real estate including housing costs in NYC, Boston, DC, Seattle, SF, LA, and much of state of CA are not free markets, but again through rent-seeking, politics has created an artificial scarcity of land by use of zoning density restrictions primarily but also overuse of historic landmark status.

Very few American companies are banned from China. The parent's comment is based on false premises about the economic relationship between the US and China.
It seems intentionally worded to provide plausible deniability. It's one thing to say "don't assume we will always dominate search" and another to say "don't assume we currently dominate search".

The latter "assumption" is an outright falsehood (in the context of the overall search market).

Once you're outside the world of computer nerds and Excel-wizards, it's easy to become the office "computer expert" and to become like 10x as efficient as anyone else on your floor though the magic of knowing a half-dozen common keyboard shortcuts and sort-of knowing how files work, as in how to copy them from one place to another, and that attachments are just files, and stuff like that.

Yes, seriously. What we consider to be basic or even somewhat below-basic computer literacy is rare even among the gainfully-employed-in-an-office crowd, outside our bubbles. Yet we think we have any clue at all about "UX". LOL.
The unemployment boost isn't going to fix the economy. Unemployment only distorts the economy by competing for labor if we're at full economic output, which we're not. The economy is collapsing at a 33% annualized rate, the fastest in recorded economic history.

You're looking at a crashing economy and suggesting that the real problem is the only brace still propping it up, and suggesting that we knock it out.

Many of these businesses are going to die regardless, because of the failed pandemic response, the failure to enact a sufficient degree of stimulus, and because these businesses are no longer viable with an ongoing pandemic.

And yes, I said plague pit. How in the world do you think it's reasonable for an employee that is not provided with any health insurance (or a bronze plan or whatever) to risk an infection that can stick you with a $1.1m bill, for $7.50 an hour? Employees are, shall we say, not going to respond to that economic incentive, that's not a reasonable trade from any perspective.

Instead, they will stay at home, and 33% of renters are going to miss their payment this month, just as the article says. As they said in 2008: if you don't pay your mortgage this month, you have a problem. If 33% of people don't pay their mortgage this month... the bank has a problem.

The reality is that businesses that require interfacing with the public are going to see a downturn in customers no matter what, and are going to have to start paying for their employees' health care, no matter what. You can't expect people to take on a near-certainty of an extraordinarily expensive hospital stay for $7.50 per hour. People won't do that, and customers aren't coming into the business at the same rate they used to anyway. Those businesses are walking dead and forcing employees to accept sub-market wages to get them back to work won't help that.

from marcel.api import *

for file, size in (ls('marcel', 'test',
file=True, recursive=True) |
map(lambda f: (f.path, f.size))):
print(f'{file}: {size}')

> We seem to be in an anti-science phase right now - death threats against Dr. Fauci are a poignant example.

As always, people are on a spectrum. There will always be vocal anti-science minorities (flat-earthers, anti-vaxxers, etc.) no matter how enlightened the civilization. But hopefully they largely stay that way - minorities.

Furthermore, there are people who are quick to trust new science and people that are slow to trust new science (think people that instantly embrace the latest study vs. people that are instantly skeptical of the latest study). Both sets of people may be completely pro-science and trust in the scientific method, but the disagreement arises on how fast the scientific method converges on truth, the perceived strength of the presented evidence, etc. Sometimes I think we are too quick to label people in the second set as "anti-science".

Not quite. Carl Bergstrom had a good thread on this. Basically, we saw a certain rate of growth. If this rate of growth happened despite half the population having T cell immunity, then it means the R0 must be higher than we thought, and therefore the herd immunity threshold in the susceptible population rises.

You do get a somewhat lower overall herd immunity threshold, but less than you thought.

> My interpretation of this is not that Facebook has a conservative bias (what does it even mean for a company to have a bias?)

It would mean that the company's actions benefit members of one side of the political spectrum more than the other.

We're free to speculate about why a company's actions might do that and whether it's deliberate or an emergent consequence of some other intention, but I think it's fairly straightforward to define what bias would mean.
> Also, the companies these Chinese companies compete against do not have equal access to Chinese markets

That's just not true. All American tech companies can operate in China if they follow local laws, that's why Skype and iMessage are popular in China. Chinese companies have to follow the same local laws as well. Google/Facebook, etc voluntarily pulled out of the Chinese market because they don't want to follow China's draconian tech laws.
You remap the caps lock key to control (System Preferences, Keyboard, Modifier Keys).
Whistleblowing would be working with the media or regulators to get out as much information as possible. Sabotaging is staying at the company and thwarting their efforts. What he did (calling attention internally to messages that were already available for employees to see) barely counts as either of those. Sure, you could say he effectively quit.
Your figures are wrong. If they worked (and received UBI, because that's what UBI means), their monthly income would be $5280 vs. $2600 for playing video games.

This is consistency in UX is what keeps me from switching to linux full-time for my personal rig.

I would assume the keyboard UX would be a low-lying fruit. I'm hoping someone with deep knowledge about linux can help me understand what is stopping various distros from simply copying the mac keyboard layout. Replace 'cmd' with the 'super' key and setup the key combinations to match macOS. That way they're consistent whether you're in a GUI application or the command-line.

Is it that the super key is not available on every computer? Or are these shortcuts protected by some sort of a copyright? Kinto seems to work by intercepting signals and reinterpreting them, then why not have the X keyboard component recompiled with a macOS keymap? I'm not at all knowledgeable in this area, so may be missing some very obvious challenges to doing so.

It's called rent-seeking, in this case there is an artificial scarcity of land use through politics of zoning density restriction.

In microeconomics, rent-seeking along with externalities and information assywmety are three cases of market failures.

The fix for this rent-seeking is quite easy: simply reverse the regressive laws that create artificial land use scarcity, those laws that create zoning density restrictions.

David Ricardo first popularized this notion when he as a member of parliament overturned to "Corn Laws."

Tabbing through the controls like mad, which people keep suggesting, is of course super-tiring and requires keeping track of the subtle focus indicator—and is not seriously a way to use the keyboard. Instead, there's an app called Shortcat that can activate those controls, with you typing the control's text or a part of it. Like a combination of Vimium and Spotlight. Alas, the app is not free.

Also, personally instead of Spotlight I prefer Alfred, which can replace many shortcuts with commands, which are way more ‘mnemonic’. E.g. locking the screen is ‘scr’ in Alfred for me, which pops up ‘Screen saver’ as the suggestion.
It depends on how stupid the regulators are - the one with the google name will win. Seriously people - domain names and awareness matter ans you can't just partition websites to regions with an international web.

The impression I get is FAST is trying to simplify the markup you see in for instance Bootstrap's documentation by trying to build standard components that Bootstrap themselves could use (or Material or their own Fluent stuff). The emphasis is on a lot of the little things in Bootstrap's documentation that doesn't either get copy/pasted or it gets copy and pasted and ignored/forgotten/left-to-bit-rot. Stuff like aria- tags for accessibility. Seems the idea here is that by baking them into web components that do most of the work for you they are less likely to be forgotten or left to bit-rot.

As someone who was encouraged to do something similar, it was akin to creating a template manuscript for the project at hand: sketch out the experiments you plan to do, the likely results, and illustrative figures.

I agree. To the point where they introduced the touch bar. Now there is no way to sleep your MBP with a keyboard shortcut. You now have to add a button to the touch bar, which you then accidentally press and your MBP goes to sleep while you are in the midst of typing out an email. Genius!
