Since somehow we're still talking about how to do it I'd simply do "all: unset" if I don't care about IE and want to fully control the style. In that way the defaults go out the window and I can build up to the style I want.

If you don't do this approach you're going to want to keep in mind differences in default whitespace handling and alignment/sizing model defaults which are going to be different in a button vs a typical <div> container.

.

Nothing wrong with going into a technical comment or discussion in hopes of sharing knowledge but that's not what was being talked about here. Look how long you and I have been talking about a single button in the UI. Look how many other comments there are about this. Now go back to the original comment "It breaks my heart that when this project was started in 2017, some 20 years after web accessibility advocacy had started in earnest, the developer was still uninformed enough about accessibility that they would create a custom button component with no ARIA support.". Ignoring that it's talking about a COMPLETELY different approach to making the button accessible the assumption is the developer is uninformed about accessibility. My argument is knowledgeable or not it's a lot of work for a passion project and not something reasonable to expect be done in one. If you want to make a PR to add user accessibility so they can understand that's great but I think you'll find it was a lot more work than figuring out how to make this one button be marked for a screen reader. You may also (likely) find they knew many of the things that would be needed to make it accessible but went with what was quick and easy for the passion project, especially considering the thing is still marked beta.

Taking that to the other part of your content no it's not alright for you to decide what's acceptable code quality for someone else to be able to share their free project. It'd be nice if it was accessible to the blind, it'd also be nice to have Chinese and Indian translations. None of these is something reasonable to expect from a project like this simply because it was shared for free. A government project definitely. A commercial project very much so. Some person's passion project? No, you don't get to decide when it's usable by enough people for them to share it with others. And you shouldn't expect open source developers to do anything for you, always be happy they picked something up they didn't want/need themselves. Otherwise do the work or pay them to, don't just demand they follow your standards. This is very different than making a helpful PR or comment about how to do it which is on the "totally acceptable" side of the fence.

I'm not here to shame anybody but if I was it'd be people that see an free and open source project and the first thing they think is to comment to shame the author about it.
Developers absolutely should not be deciding what is 'priority'. It's very unlikely they have access to the metrics, wider business strategy, internal and external stakeholders, necessary to determine this. That is the job of the Product Manager.
TransferWise is the tech incarnation of it. I bet they don’t operate in Venezuela due to US trade sanctions.
This is an underappreciated possibility of bitcoin.

All that insane amount of gold that's collecting dust in vaults being used as a store of value? Suddenly free to be used productively if bitcoin replaces it. Same with real estate that owners let sit unsed because they're primarily using it as a store of value rather than a productive asset.
- Tory f's are out

Is that language really necessary? Such divisive language doesn't help the debate at all. As mentioned below, it's also totally incorrect. Labour heartlands voted massively for leave. Labour and Tories went into the election saying they would honour the referendum vote. Tories cleaned up an 80 seat majority in December 2019 winning many Labour seats campaigning on the goal to get Brexit done.

Brexit has happened. I voted remain but I've moved on. Harbouring such negativity and pessimism isn't healthy.
Price action would seem to agree with your typo
varargs in general is significantly different, I think it's even encoded as a char * in C++ name mangling.
Gold seems like it was always an odd thing to pin an economy to to begin with. A resource that isn't inherently tied to value that seems to have been "chosen" by centuries of evolution towards a scarce material that could be centrally controlled. What's more, it has become less scarce as better technologies have emerged for extracting it. And just like printing excess fiat currency, early gold rushes showed the same type of rapid inflation in local economies, with money made by those selling mining tools & services to miners, and those purchasing the mined gold to arbitrage it out to other geographical regions. It was still just an abstraction layer put on top of direct bartering to solve the liquidity problems inherent to direct bartering once the # of goods and services reach a high enough level.

The fundamental principal of economics that many people miss when they focus mainly on monetary supply is that the velocity of capital [0] is of equal or perhaps even greater importance.

One of you lot recently married an American and moved to Canada. Queen's a bit salty, but they seem to be doing well for themselves. But seriously, I'm an American living in Canada, planning on getting citizenship here. The British immigrants I've met seem to get along pretty well here.
It is a fundamentally poor design for permission checks to require additional network round-trips. A user's group memberships need only be evaluated once when they log on, with a refresh every few minutes at most.

Access control lists can be easily cached, and then most access checks can be performed entirely in-memory.

Instead of evaluating the full ACL every time, an additional trick is to take the cryptographic hash of the ACL and use that as a cache key. This both deduplicates the ACLs (which tend to be repetitive), and also allows (ACL,UserId) tuples to be efficiently cached.

This way, a page with even a hundred controls becomes effectively a hundred hashtable lookups the second time it is viewed, and even the first time it is opened the overhead is no more than a millisecond.

If turning off security makes a noticeable difference like you said, Atlassian has done none of these basic things. It indicates to me an incredible level of negligence.
Currencies fluctuate against demand in the foreign exchange market, not against each other. Governments then step up to stabilize that demand. Bitcoin doesn't have that support so it fluctuates wildly, exactly like it's been doing since it's inception.
Korg recently released fm synth (Opsix) looks cool but I wonder where innovation in synthesis is nowdays? Interesting products like ASM hydrasynth have fantastic sound design possibilities but it still could be somewhat done in a DAW. The semimodular stuff can offer things for experimentation, I wish there were more digital semimodular affordable synths like Microfreak that would offer versatility and invite to experimentation.
To the system as it exists? Absolutely.
That doesn’t work for this stylesheet because it includes styles for the <link> element.
Agree. In my mind the company is a dead man walking despite its revenue and profits. It's no longer the innovation leader and by 2040 will be viewed as Xerox came to be, barring some very unforeseen development.
Seconding Ireland. Also, out of habit I recommend The Netherlands + Scandinavia. Wealthy, competently run places. New Zealand is great, but 30 hours of travel to visit family is not super great.
I've never heard of it. Coub says it's youtube for video loops. Not sure that's the same.
Quantitative easing only increases "bank reserves" in the accounts at the fed, not the money supply. The accounts at the fed are an isolated system. To increase the money supply, commercial banks need to create money via loans.
I've been relistening today.

Some lyrics like 'Living off borrowed, the clock ticks faster' from Accordian stand out more or take on a different meaning to me now.
Note that 2TB may not be sufficient. It depends on how many photos we are talking about, and how large they are.

In the arena of backups, we talk about the rule of three — you should have at least three backup copies of everything you care about.

Of those backup copies, at least one should be stored remotely, in case there is a local problem like a fire that wipes out all your local copies.

Having more than one local backup copy is good, because if you mess up your local copy during the process of performing the backup or the restore, then you’ve got another local copy that you can use to fix that problem. Having that extra local backup copy means you don’t have to wait to download the backup you stored remotely, before you can begin the process of fixing your local problem.

And you should assume that everything stored in the cloud is ephemeral, unless you are paying money to keep it long-term. And even if you are paying money to keep it long term, the company could always have a hiccup and lose all your data, or decide to shut down the service, or go bankrupt, etc....

Note that you also have to verify all these backups you’re keeping. Because at any stage, there could be silent corruption of the data, and you would never find out without regular data verification processes.

And finally, all the backups in the world are completely and totally useless, if you can’t actually restore from them. So, you need to regularly test all your backups.
Many coins are experimenting with alternative consensus algorithms, the most promising imo is proof of stake.

No wasted energy beyond the cost of running a normal computer.
I have plenty of issues with short selling, but my way of understanding of why it’s a welcome part of the market is that being able to short sell incentivizes people to find bubbles, half truths, or flat out scams. Once a short seller has found such an opportunity, they’re incentivized to tell the world about it (as they want to maintain the position for a short time as possible). Although many honest people will lose money in such a case, we are better off than when that lie can grow for more time and blow up more spectacularly.
This really is hard man, its hit me harder than I'd like to admit. MF DOOM really was one of the greats and it's humbling to see so much love on hn for him.
I think you mean deflation, the exact opposite of inflation, is built into Bitcoin.
Yes. Proof of stake coins like nano don't require any proof of work. Peercoin, too. Ethereum is considering PoS IIRC.

> price discovery which helps with optimal capital allocation

I've never seen this thought put in this way, I'm glad you said it, thank you.
If that were true then it would be time to rejoice and watch underemployment disappear. The central bank can then unload its balance sheets and reduce inflation to sustainable levels. If that does not help you can also increase taxation to take care of inflation. There are a lot of tools that can trivially deal with too much inflation but with deflation the only tool you have is the central bank pumping money into the market and so far it is failing to achieve its stated goals.
Reflections on Flash and Preservation
Whether privacy is a joke or not on Bitcoin isn't the point. Consider most systems in place 10 years ago all were discovered to have holes in them and have been subsequently patched. The belief that today's software, or tomorrow's software, will also have a non-joke level privacy option that is functional long term is, in my opinion, unobtainable.

Bitcoin still manages to be useful in proving identity, however.

I think there is a decent chance that sometime in the next few years there will be another Scottish independence referendum, that this time "Yes" will win, and then an independent Scotland will apply to rejoin the EU.

I think Scottish independence, combined with demographic changes in Northern Ireland – Catholics are likely to outnumber Protestants, possibly as early as this year's census, but if not in 2021, then almost certainly in 2031 – have a decent chance of leading to Irish reunification in the next couple of decades.

If Scotland and a united Ireland are in the EU, will the United Kingdom of England and Wales still want to stay out? (And will they still keep the "United" in their name?)

(Even Welsh independence might happen eventually, but I think that is a fair way further off than Scottish independence or Irish reunification.)
This does not change my perception of Microsoft either.
Got it, thanks for clarifying
Venezuela? come on , You mean only failed states use it. all these sites could be banned any day.
It's a useful counterweight to bubbles: people who buy a stock have a vested interest in lying about or subconsciously ignoring bearish signals about it, which can cause irrational fervor for it to go on much longer.
Wait... He died in OCTOBER?
Hiding that fact in itself, is a big story.
"Why would one person want to reduce the ability to apply economic policy in their country?"

What do you think happens to your currency when they print more of it?

One problem with gold though is that we know where plenty of gold is, its just too expensive to mine. Once the price of gold rises, more gold becomes profitable to mine, supply increases, and the price goes back down.
Perhaps, perhaps not.

IIRC the forecast economic damage is lost opportunity for growth rather than immediate losses, and any actual immediate losses could be easily dismissed (especially by this lot) as “COVID losses, not Brexit”.
I guess I've heard this enough to the point that it has numbed me. Steve Jobs: We won't support Flash, HTML5: Flash is no longer necessary, Adobe: We'll kill Flash, BBC: Flash is finally laid to rest...
> When a bank lends out US dollars, they are effectively creating new money that is treated as “real” money. They don’t technically lend out the deposits.

This is exactly wrong. In fact, it is the origin of the term "fractional reserve": They are reserving a fraction of the deposits and lending out the rest.
Exactly. From cause-and-effect point of view, it's a single chemical reactions. When we categorize living things, we're just putting labels on recurring fractal patterns we observe in that reaction.

It's sad, because I was writing up a big thread on how to get your own pictures or at least see the ISS for yourself, but the submission got buried as I was posting it. I'll probably just repost it wholesale next time a submission like this comes up again, since nobody is going to see it here :(

But I get it, the linked content itself and much of the rest of the discussion here is on the level of "hey look at this cool thing" without much of technical interest.
Certainly a referendum this vague. People were asked to vote for either status quo or... something very ill defined. Witness the ‘yes’ voters suddenly surprised they’re losing their jobs because the deal doesn’t cover selling live eels or sausages or banking services or whatever to Europe.

It’s easy to say “they condemned themselves” and they _were_ naive to buy into the cake-type Brexit narrative, but if the choice had been between status quo and “we’ll try to negotiate this sort of attainable deal”, people would have had some idea on what they were voting for. As it was, it could have been anything from Norway+ to autarky.
We weren't sure if our main demographic would be 'straight' Republican congressmen or angry gay Democrats - this may have been an issue.
I think your 1U rack unit would still be something a lot of gigging musicians would want. You could probably add in a few other things to that space too.

I'm pretty sure the left dislikes James Comey quite a lot since he did a last minute "give Trump's Hillary emails conspiracy a false sense of legitimacy right before the election" thing
Right, because it was hard to control and ridesharing was clearly better. My point was the experience in functioning countries has not shown this to be true of bitcoin.

It has been easy enough for govts to enforce tax and security laws where they’ve tried. What laws have been changed for bitcoin?
I thought so, but I wasn’t successful. I’m not sure how much was just someone new trying to change stuff and someone who really believes in writing tons of stuff.

I don’t think the problem was jira, it’s just in project management thinking that it is the most important part and the dev work is subservient or easy.
> nearly impossible to stop

What's nearly impossible to stop? Can't the government simply shut down the internet to stop Bitcoin? Or insert itself as the man in the middle of all network traffic.
I think you are taking my top post entirely too seriously.
It’s good when shorts find fraud (Nikola, Luckin Coffee) and then expose that fraud - it’s bad when there isn’t fraud and shorts push negative stories to try and manipulate the public market to save their position (or when the short position is actually being pushed by competitors failing to compete).

I think in the Tesla case people were annoyed at the latter, lots of stuff about Tesla’s success being impossible, model3 will never ship, etc. etc. - all of it total bullshit.

If that were really true the trivial fix would be to train more medical personnel and invest into more food production. In reality it's just a temporary corona related increase.
>>People talk about governments cracking down on BTC because it will undermine the local currency or banking system but I think that's mostly paranoia

Incorrect, the government has no concerns over undermining the local currency. The primary purpose of banking regulations is population control, it has nothing to do with currency perservation

Know your Customer laws, book keeping regulations, etc are all about control and intelligence. If they can get this intel and allow BTC to operate as is they will leave it alone, if however they can not get the intel they need on how money is moving well you can bet your life they will crack down hard

Governments, all governments even yours, are about Power, Control, and Authority not what people seem to naively think that the government is there to "help" or "protect" or any other just altruistic goals.
Conspiracy theory: Many crazy conspiracy theories are published and promoted by intelligence agencies to foster public distrust in the existence of actual conspiracies.

Meanwhile many "crazy conspiracy theories" are based on a real conspiracy, so if QAnon is full of bullshit then Epstein is a non-story and anyone asking questions is a conspiracy nut.
This is like web optimisation 101. What you did is a clever workaround, but it shouldn't be necessary! Why isn't the Jira server sending compressed content in the first place? If those javascript files are static, they could even cache the compressed versions for extra speed!
When confronted with relatively concrete studies on Bitcoin's wasteful energy use, are you going to point to the fact that physical money printer energy use has not been studied to muddy the waters? The reason it hasn't been studied is that it doesn't use a huge amount of electricity.

Anyway, as another way of answering your question, physical money printing and transfers require no electricity at all, predating the invention of electric power by thousands of years.

The M1
To borrow a sentence from Wikipedia (as it's just slightly more direct than the Conservancy homepage): "Software Freedom Conservancy is an organization that provides a non-profit home and infrastructure support, including legal services, for free/open source software projects." So, to grossly over-simplify: The purpose of Conservancy is to provide for other Free-software projects what the FSF provides for GNU. Most famously, Conservancy has enforced the GPL for BusyBox (a member project of Conservancy), and the Linux kernel (not a member project, but is special in that many contributors have assigned their copyright to Conservancy, and other contributors have authorized Conservancy to represent their copyright).

(It's more accurate to say that SF Conservancy is an offshoot of the Software Freedom Law Center than it is of the FSF.)

As for disagreement with the FSF and "principles of software freedom": Conservancy's principles are Stallman's four freedoms. They aren't "pushing" "ethical licensing"; they hosted a conference that had several talks about it; just as LibrePlanet, the FSF-hosted conference, has also had talks exploring formulations of software ethics that differ from the four freedoms. Indeed, the linked page calls out that so-called "ethical licensing" is non-Free, and advocates for "ethical employment contracts" instead. Any substantive disagreement between Conservancy and the FSF must be fairly recent: Until late-2019 the president of the SF Conservancy was also a member of the FSF's board of directors.

Im really not an expert in this area. So please tell me how I'm wrong.

Shorting a company means you'll benefit from value of the company going down.
In normal circumstances, I can understand that it can have a positive effect on the market as some sort of scrutiny over the companies.

But in a post-truth world, it means some people have the power to short the stock, and then actively try to undermine it by running fake news; effectively becoming a barrier for the companies to create more value, which is in everyone's interest (employees, shareholders, investors, etc) except for those who short.

Not really. It’s a matter of what you’re measuring. If you measure inflation by assessing the price of a Whopper, you won’t find much. If you measure inflation by measuring the cost of college tuition, you’ll find plenty. What’s meaningful varies dramatically from person to person. That’s why I think it’s almost pointless to talk about inflation as a single, measurable thing.
Consider that the money is mostly going to the owners of assets. Assets have the unfortunate property of only giving returns to their owners and most people simply do not own assets so it's an incredibly poor way of introducing money to consumers.
How? What I've described is closer to an oligarchy than it is to anarchy.

So either you disagree with my initial description, or you disagree that that description matches something other than anarchy. Either way, I think you'll find either one of those a difficult argument to make.
