>isn't that why she was asking for them to do professional testing?

If you read her account, there were multiple tests done, by her hired expert and one contracted by the building management company, not including the testing done by Roux. She didn't accept any of the results because they didn't match her conclusion.

>Seems like a bigger issue that the remediation was rushed through

Rushed through how? This is California where nothing gets built in any reasonable time. But again, what does this have to do with anything? There is zero evidence that her symptoms are caused by the building, or anything related to it. The author simply decided it must be the cause. Must. And now, for some reason, we're debating this non sequitur.

There are many reasons why having SPA and rendering your site on the client is a bad idea.

First, you are basically breaking the concept of the web, a collection of documents, not a collection of code that must be executed to get a document. That has many bad effects.

Browsing is slower, you have to download the code of the whole application and wait for it to execute other API calls to the server before the page is usable. That can take a couple of seconds, or even more on slower connections. With the old pages rendered server side not only you didn't have this effect, but also the browser could start to render the page even it was not fully received (since HTML can be parsed streamed). Not everyone has a fast connection available at all time, and it's frustrating when you have only a 2G network available and you cannot do basically anything on the modern internet.

It's less secure, since you are forcing the user to execute some code on its machine just to look at an article in a blog. And JavaScript engines in browsers are one of the most common source of exploits, given their complexity. Also JavaScript can access information that can fingerprint your browser to track you, without particular permissions. Ideally in a sane world most of the websites don't require JavaScript, and the browser would show you a popup to allow the website to execute code (just like they as you access to the camera).

It breaks any other tools that are not a browser. In the old days you could download with wget entire sites on your hard driver to consult them offline, with "modern" SPA is impossible. Of course that implies that it breaks things like the Wayback machine and thus history is not preserved. And serach engines penalizes sites that are not a clean static HTML.

It's also less accessible, since most SPA don't respect the semantic of HTML, everything is a div in a div in a div. And of course you still need a browser, while with HTML documents you could process them with any software (why a blind person need to render the page in a browser? While a screen reader could have simply parsed the HTML of the page without rendering it on screen...). It breaks navigation in browser, the back button no longer works as you expect, reloading a page could have strange effects, and so on. I can't reliably look at the address bar to know the page I'm in.

Finally it's less robust. SPA are a single point of failure. If anything goes wrong the whole site stops working. While a bug on a page on a classical server side rendered website breaks only that particular page. Also error handling is not present on most SPA, for example what happens if an HTTP request fails? Who knows. Look at submitting a form, most of the time there is no feedback. On a classical server side rendered application if I submit a form I either get a response from the server, or the browser informs me that request had failed and I can submit the form again.

> She mentions concern that vinyl chloride was there above vapor intrusion risk levels and no one would tell her why it wasn't cleaned up.

An initial investigation by EIK had 1 sample of 17 that had vinyl chloride above screening levels, which raised VOC from off-site sources (the nearby superfund site) as a potential concern. As a result, Roux took more soil vapor samples several years later, and none of their measurements had vinyl chloride levels above the screening threshold. Maybe this process was rushed or shoddy or something (I wouldn't know or be able to guess), but from the EIR it sounds like Roux did the testing and didn't measure any significant VOCs.

and after this, they put in the system for mitigating vapor intrusion anyway.
If you’re really asking, and not making a point;

PF is created and primarily maintained by OpenBSD

OpenBSD’s base system (without extra packages) includes PF and has a focus on security.

PF in freebsd is several major versions old.

nftables (like iptables before it) is rule based and not bucket based. So high numbers of rules will not affect pf’s performance like it does with nftables.

But, for home users, probably not noticeable. Though I prefer the syntax of PF personally.
> Now I'm curious what a good website for vaccine news is ...

Health science journals or communities perhaps.

I was triggered by seeing multiple posts about AstraZeneca blood clot all from major news websites. But somehow I ended up leaving comment on this post unintentionally.

For that (COVID-19 vaccine updates) I like NYT vaccine tracker[1] and Our World in Data[2] but I don't really check them regularly since it's impossible to miss any COVID-19 related update these days anyway.

> data dumps from local governments that could have been machine-readable, or announcements that are distributed in print and emailed as PDFs, rather than lifting the content into the message body.

You should thank PDF for giving you any useful electronic copies at all.

If it's scanned-in papers, sticking them loosly in an e-mail or web page would be much more difficult to read through.

If it's text data, then perhaps it was primarily composed to be printed, and PDF allows easy creation of readable electronic copies with minimum of effort from any input. Before PDF you might have gotten nothing at all, because most people don't have readers for various obscure proprietary input formats.

And PDF is far easier than other formats to convert into another format for your own consumption. Do you have a command-line tool which will extract the embedded images out of a Microsoft Word document? Or one that will convert it to plain text, preserving formatting? pdfimages and pdftotext -layout are very widely available.
You just proof my point. the se is a dev with somehow holds a significant amount of the coins. the fact that he has not sold them means nothing maybe he sold some maybe he sold other coins you didnt knew they where his too. maybe hes just one of the gamblers that hope on higer prices. it all doesnt matter. if he got them for any kind of work then the system printed money to pay for the work therefore it runs on inflation therefore he was paid with the value that was or will be removed form everyone else who holds the coin.

>I think this is conversation about value is going to go in circles...

I dont think so... you bough no argument at all. The fact that some people somehow see vale in the token is at best anecdotal at worst its just proof of stupid people. It doesn't actually proof that it add value.
Its like people who say something that is unique and therefore can not be replaced must be valuable in fact its value would need to be infinite. Its a nice mind game but it's wrong. Scarcity/uniqueness does not create value.
> Troops went by the house and down the road and the dust they raised powdered the leaves of the trees. The trunks of the trees too were dusty and the leaves fell early that year and we saw the troops marching along the road and the dust rising and leaves, stirred by the breeze, falling and the soldiers marching and afterwards the road bare and white except for the leaves.

"“I read that paragraph and I want to cry,” confesses a literary scholar in Hemingway."

What? That paragraph was horrible. First of all, after reading it two times, I still have no idea what the point was, other than: leaves, dust, troops. Second, he says the same thing three times.

"Troops went by the house and down the road and the dust they raised powdered the trees." Ok.

"The trunks of the trees too were dusty" No shit. There's dust raised in the air high enough to get to the leaves. It's probably gonna be on the trunk.

"and the leaves fell early that year" Wait. Did they already fall? Or are they falling now? Or is this an omniscient narrator saying they will in the future?

"and we saw the troops marching along the road and the dust rising" Yes, you told us in the last sentence.

"and leaves, stirred by the breeze, falling" Oh, ok, so the leaves are falling now.

"and the soldiers marching" Yes, you told us in the last sentence, and previously in the current sentence.
We have been using PDF2XL[1] for this for years (used to be called CogniView).

It's genuinely unbelievable. If the PDF isn't sufficiently structured, it has OCR that seems to "just work".

You can also automate the extraction and integrate it into your pipeline.

The UI is pretty old and ugly-looking, but it is one of the few apps I've used in the last 10 years that made me feel genuine delight.

Good comment. Why do people care if their phone number gets leaked? There use to be a yellow page book with everybody’s phone number. Also, phone numbers are not identities. I change phone number every year on average.
> Correlation usually doesn't indicate causation.

I think this is taking "correlation doesn't always prove causation" a few steps too far, right off a cliff. There are difficulties with reasoning from correlation, but saying it "usually doesn't" indicate correlation is too bold, especially in experiments where confounders have been controlled for. [1]

[1] (And don't get me started with the semi-clever types who ask if this or that variable has been controlled for when the study or the article about the study explicitly says it has. Save us all from halfwits trying to teach experienced researchers their business.)
> Eliminate!

Which — without context — could be misinterpreted, say as a certain biological function.

The goal is not brevity bragging rights, à la code golf: The goal is to serve the reader, and sometimes a few extra words, well-chosen and -placed, can help.

(Also: A few extra words can serve as cheap insurance against ambiguity, which can be critical in contract drafting.)
Awesome project.

Consider adding in the demo automatic anchors on headers so one can quickly copy them for sharing. Currently they can only be obtained from ToC but you need to scroll to it. On anything larger then few pages, this is a must. One problem there is that current automatic id's are generated sequentially and not really user friendly for link sharing.

Stephen King railed dogmatically against the use of adverbs. I liked his work but wasn't aware of this ... obsession of his until I read On Writing. It made me more self-conscious about using adverbs in my own writing until I noticed that many great writers I love and respect had no such issue with incorporating adverbs.

PDF is an attempt at non-Turing complete, simpler PostScript (PS). It comes from a time of paged media de facto ruling the world. Changing layouts was never the goal, because PDF was the output format.

In case of academic research papers typeset with LaTeX, the source file is something you'd likely want to consider the semantic equivalent of HTML. TeX should be able to render the same document with different output constraints ("responsive layout"), but because of the architecture (TeX itself is fully Turing complete), it is pretty slow at re-rendering an entire document.

Part of the allure of a static document format like PDF is that you can, in theory, fetch just page 454 of 6000 page document and render that: with HTML, just like with TeX, you'd have to get and render the entire document to be certain that the layout won't change after you've processed the whole file.

I switched from pfsense + Ubiquiti to OpenBSD + Ruckus and couldn't be happier. While the web UIs were cool for a day, with the command line I feel as though I understand exactly what I have setup a bit better. Ruckus UI is also much more friendly than Ubiquiti's - I had to actually install mongo db + VM/dock just to configure my Ubiquiti WAP? Seriously?

I just wish I had completely deleted my Ubiquiti account when I sold my WAP.

Last night someone put on a history documentary about Oliver Cromwell's invasions of Ireland. They showed that the invention of the printing press around that time led to all the news of the Irish rebellion having a further reach inside of England. Oliver Cromwell channeled that nationalism into his own political gains and caused a wake of destruction through Ireland.

It's exactly the same phenomenon as we see now with social media.

This is the natural cycle of human innovation in communication.

I want these interfaces to happen despite the growing pains we will have.

Besides, it doesn't matter what we want. They will happen either way.

Think about it in terms of larger time scales and the growing pains of new technology seems like a more worthwhile cost.

I know it's dismissive to label real human suffering and death as growing pains, but this stuff is inevitable, the results are predictable, and in a large enough timescale, the technology will yield immense fruit.
Anything wrong with XSL-FO? I know it's not the hottest thing on earth, but it works. Apache FOP is still developed and it's easy to add it to a pipeline.
I was about to buy Ubiquiti products and it is disappointing.

Are there good alternatives other than DIYs like PfSense/BSD?
While I've not yet made the purchase, I'm eyeing a Synology RT2600ac (https://www.synology.com/en-us/products/RT2600ac) and an MR2200ac (https://www.synology.com/en-us/products/MR2200ac#specs). It seems like they'll be adding VLAN support in their 1.3 release (https://community.synology.com/enu/forum/2/post/130414), which should be nice for adding dedicated VPN and guest networks.

For me it's one of the few options available because my ISP forces me to use a transitional IPv6 technology called "MAP-E," which the UniFi products don't support. I switched ISPs after purchasing my equipment and ended up with $700 of dead weight.

Reminds me of a scene in the movie Canadian Bacon, a satire where Americans try to start a war with Canada after the end of the Cold War to keep the military industrial complex humming along. At one point they're driving through Canada with some anti-Canadian graffiti on the side of a truck. They get pulled over and ticketed for not having it written in French too.

The issue specifically with the service animal is tough. I think people who benefit from legitimate service animals are seriously harmed by the people who claim their pet is a service animal so they can bring it with them. Anyone can buy a “service animal” vest on Amazon. And under the ADA, it’s basically illegal to even ask if it’s a legitimate service animal - you can ask “which tasks is it trained to perform?”

The drivers are in a tough spot given that they’ve probably had poorly trained pets in their cars that were passed off as service animals.

I'm certain that Wyze counts me in their 5 million customer statistic, likely twice, but their policies and customer support is abysmal.

Ordering the Wyze Sense and Wyze Cam V2 for a family member was easy, but Wyze chose to use a mangled version of the PayPal billing address rather than the shipping address their own order confirmation email showed.

It took a full week of working with their support, showing them USPS had declared the parcel as dead (since the mangled address was undeliverable and 3 states away from the correct shipping address) to get a refund.

Wyze won't be able to properly support customers at the $5 a month price point, their hub has no cellular connectivity capabilities and the platform is limited compared to what has come before them (eg: Iris by Lowes). No glass break sensors, smoke detectors,temperature/humidity built into motion sensors, moisture sensors for plumbing, etc.
