"Note about DM fails: Your service provider may split SMS messages greater than 160 characters into multiple messages.

Setting up the compensation fund cements the idea that the disaster is a 'when', not 'if'. Putting a small cap on compensation signals to people - if you're a victim, you might only get this amount of money. The overall effect being that people are actually motivated to vote for measures to fix the problem. e.g., I know I'll only get compensated for a small amount, thus, I want to make sure it's less likely I'm victimized.

Plot a precise trail with elevation profile, using open data and software
Here's the info about the tech from the blog:

The data comes from http://www.OpenStreetMap.org.

The software uses the Valhalla (https://mapzen.com/projects/valhalla) routing engine to generate routes, and the Pelias geocoder (https://github.com/pelias) to lookup names for points. Valhalla and Pelias were both developed by Mapzen (https://mapzen.com/), an open-source mapping lab dedicated to building open mapping tools that run on open data.

All routes between 60°S and 60°N include elevation profiles that are generated from SRTM digital elevation models (http://www2.jpl.nasa.gov/srtm/). The digital elevation models were obtained from the Open Terrain project (http://openterrain.tumblr.com/), who provides easy access to terrain data that is freely available from US government sites, but hard to access.

Yes. And there is no greater example of unfairness in the US of A than that of racism. For someone to complain that mentioning race "politicises" a discussion requires a willful blindness to reality and often seems like an attempt to avoid any discussion of the topic in any context.

Any discussion of inequality in the modern world that does not explicitly include racism is necessarily deficient.

Lots of these lessons are missing the bigger point. The original investor rejections had it right on the business model, except missed the determination of the founders. Sleeping on airbeds and having hosts serve breakfast is a niche market.

Airbnb changed their name and pivoted into the vacation rental rental space, and now shared rooms and "bed and breakfast" are a tiny fraction of their listings, but this opened up a much bigger market. IMO, this is the big lesson.

In a single page application, I would expect the back button to be entirely nonfunctional, or maybe in some cases functioning as "undo" if this behavior is clearly communicated.

(I'm not sure where back-button-undo would be better than an undo button within the app, but I wouldn't rule it out. Maybe in a graphics editor where it would be convenient to use the mouse's back button.)
Great answer, I will add to this that you need a lot of patience. So yeah, if you are not interested in the subject, this gets a whole lot difficult.
> By your definition of open source, I know of no compiled application that's fully open source. If you want to change it, you're going to need to fork it. If that's not intrinsic to source code in principle, it is in practice.

By far most open source software, when built without changes, will produce a fully working binary that does not grab and run binary blobs at runtime. All that software would meet my criteria for acceptance.

> As to the H264 situation - how is using closed source and patented implementations better than using open-source but patented implementations?

If the work is deferred to the OS, it's not mozilla's problem. It is then up to the user to choose a platform with the desired codecs, which may be open or closed. People on platforms that already contain and expose closed-source codecs are unlikely to be concerned about these issues.

The rest of your comment, I agree with. I know mozilla fought hard to get a free codec included in the standard. That was very good, I'm certainly not trying to demonise mozilla here.

My problem here is only with the technical solution implemented after that fight was lost. And I worry about the precedent being set that mozilla is okay with the browser downloading and running precompiled binaries from the internet at runtime, without an explicit request from the user with a big, scary warning. That's mozilla's prerogative, they decide to go with the larger market and I totally understand that. It doesn't make it any less sad to watch, though.
All of your points are good ones, but just to clarify:

1) While there are already new approaches to CSS via Webpack and CSS modules which in a way completely invalidate the term 'necessary', I've worked on some apps at said company that literally required CSS preprocessors. It would have been an organizational nightmare otherwise, considering the size and the scope of some of the asks.

2) Build tools encapsulate NPM, just like Make encapsulates bash (in a way). Coordinating a large team using shell scripts or cramming everything into package.json is never fun, though I do prefer NPM for smaller, more focused projects where each dev is on the same skill level.

The point is: these tools have their purpose, there is a ton of documentation around them, and even if they are not the best tools for the job it is the frontend developer's role to research and evaluate their merit rather than dismissing them outright.

Yeap. It's preferred to vendor a JRE (non-system JRE) inside your app (which is basically just extracting it to some dir you always control), which doesn't conflict with whatever else is on the box (no registry settings, /etc/profile or common locations like /usr/some/unix/path/to/system/jre ), and auto-update your app which includes updating the JRE. This is how to deploy a supportable app, which reduce support tickets about "you broke our apps, our IT department is going to call our VPs and is going to call your VPs" and pre-sales issues like "we can't buy this because we can't change JRE versions."

> Remember, Argentina still can't raise capital from market even after more than a decade.

Argentina was quite capable of doing that just right before their legal case with a few predatory holdouts made life for the government difficult again.

To be fair, it was an incredibly mismanaged trial (both by the defending lawyers and Cristina's insane and confusing statements), and the holdouts in question are essentially the scum of planet Earth, purposely speculating on junk bonds and always going to trial for profit.

Despite that, both national and local governments have been raising capital to the tune of several billion dollars. Of course, the interest rate is insane, but that's more of a question of the government's disastrous capital control policies; serious private investors were not convinced that the default over the holdouts' bonds is too relevant.

Fortunately, the tallest tsunami was from a rockfall in a fjord[1], not from a subduction zone earthquake. They are typically ~10 m, and it's really the wavelength, not the amplitude, that is a problem because there is so much water that the inundation is more like a flash flood than a quick slap from a breaking wave.

Second, I don't believe tsunamis from subduction zone earthquakes on the Cascadia trench will impact Seattle that much, because (as you may be able to see from your location) the Olympic peninsula is in between you and the trench. The wave coming through the Strait of Juan de Fuca will spread outward into Puget Sound and mostly dissipate against Camano and Whidbey Islands.

The big tsunami hazard for Seattle itself is the from an earthquake on the Seattle fault[2].

What a curious thought, that i seem to see repeated over and over.

What exactly is more expensive about the apple product here:

Apple iphone 6 - $649.92 full retail price

Samsung galaxy s6 edge - $779.76 full retail price

LG G4 - $599.76 full retail price (on sale)

HTC One M9 - $649.92 full retail price

This puts the iphone as the second least expensive flagship phone currently available, prices are all straight from tmobiles site.

If we expand the storage and bump to the top models:

Samsung galaxy s6 edge - $959.83 full retail price

Apple iPhone 6+ - $949.99 full retail price

Was your point only that everyone who buys a flagship smartphone is paying 'waaay too much' for their cellphone?

If your point was that Apple's smartphones are somehow the most expensive ones, then you are simply incorrect; this is the belief i was trying to counter with these numbers.

I'm a Greek immigrant kid, so I have some emotional attachment, and lots of family in Greece, but little actual knowledge of life on the streets in Greece since they joined the Eurozone.

That said, it has seemed to me for some time that exiting the Eurozone would be far preferable to this sort of solution, e.g. one that leaves the debt high and lets Germany force austerity measures down into the local economy.

Isn't precisely what is required right now massive currency inflation, leading to far cheapened Greek exports (tourism and olive oil?). I would love to buy a villa in Greece, if I had the cash. And, if the new drachma is issued, and inflates heavily, it will become much less expensive to do so.

It seems like the Eurozone has locked in these smaller countries with an import friendly lifestyle; they get Germany-quality goods in without tariffs, and it's emotionally very hard to think about going back.

Two things:

* That means that the owners of Futurama should own the copyright to these lyrics, so they're only free for their use. They could have a copyright claim if you go around singing their lyrics.

* The melody of "Happy Birthday" come from an older song called "Good Morning to All" which is why the tune itself (independent of the lyrics) is probably okay to use. [1]

I have known of other businesses that made up their own lyrics with the same tune for this reason.

As with everything, if you're going to do SPA, you should do it well. So far, one of the best SPA website I've seen is https://gocardless.com (disclaimer: I work there).

Once loaded it's probably one of the fastest website I've browsed, and it doesn't have any of the drawbacks you mentioned:

navigating to a new page is quick: ✓

navigating back is quick: ✓

remembering scroll position: ✓

cancelling navigation: ✗ but we won't allow duplicate requests so not an issue

SEO: ✓

Navigation and data loss: ? (no idea how we handle that tbh)

Navigation and loading CSS & JS: ✓ we load everything on the first load (~ 880kB) and that's it. I don't think it will ever be worst than MPA

Analytics: ✓

Automated functional testing: ✓ our unit + e2e test suites run in about 4 minutes (CI)

I've always assumed that if you need a back button, your application wasn't really a good candidate for a SPA anyway...

I know you are being rhetorical but even New York Times would agree the Greek government is more corrupt than the German government. Some level of corruption is inevitable in every ruling class; an old Chinese saying is that pure water has no fish: no one will work in a graft-free institution. Your rhetorics is not helpful at the current critical juncture; cooler heads must prevail. It is far more important to consider whether the existing economic, financial, and political arrangement is sustainable and whether Greeks may be better off with a clean slate. A massive European aid program is necessary in any case and the current level of Greek debt is unrealistic. Why not acknowledge the facts and spend money on people to help them get back on their feet and at least reap political good-will, which is sorely lacking right now. Muddling through has not worked so far. If a fourth bailout becomes necessary, it will be a political earthquake with strategic implication for the rest of the world. God, I hope it does not come to pass.
I think I'm quite clear: we don't have an accepted and useful mathematical definition of what fairness means. This should, at least on some level, line up with our society's legal standards (as the corresponding mathematical definitions of privacy, security, etc. do) while allowing us to prove theorems or at least make well-defined conjectures about the properties of algorithms.

The question is what counts as fair. I'm not saying disparate outcomes is necessary or sufficient, though it receives a lot of attention. Even if we could quantify which disparate outcomes are adverse, it's not obvious how to design algorithms that meet those criteria.

> statistically defensible stereotypes.

"defensible" is a weasel word.

It goes back to the old "correlation vs causation"

Machine learning choose the "shape" of a decision surface. Optimizing parameters of that surface may be defensible, or may nor be. Your algorithm may learn that people with my skin color, or who live in my neighborhood, on have a certain average behavior on your objective function.

I would word your #1 and #2 as (1) baseless prejudice that midjudges people in general, (2) statistical prejudice that misjudges many individuals.

But it's still a leap to treat me as the "average" in that group, instead of judging me on the content of my character. What guided your choice of parameters? Even if you did the best within practical limits, it still may be unfair.

It seems like a scraper which could manage submitting to and checking virustotal would be a good idea.

Also, perhaps wikileaks / virustotal could come to sort of agreement to scan things and flag them while still making assets available to researchers whom still need raw docs, but with large virus warnings which intercept downloads to a warning landing page confirmation if there's no referrer (direct, deep linking).

Finally, the other issue is that not all malware (past, current or future) is known. We ran Windows Servers (NT, 2003) boxes directly on the internet (before I forced them to offer departmental firewalls) and these boxes had already attracted all sorts of multi-vendor unseen malware, rootkits and backdoors long before I got there. After deploying WOLF to a number of boxes, Mark Russinovich was like "yea, you should probably take [the IT sec depts advice]" by just get firewalls and then format all these boxes back to clean image, fully-patched and strong, production-usable, security policy state. Most IT folks don't conduct forensics research... they see strange behavior, try to find a scanner/remover (maybe 80% success), or partially remove it and continue despite unprovable to fully remove all traces... Or they wipe the boxes, start over and guess/pray that the same 'sploit doesn't exist twice. There's just too many unknown variants of existing sploits and too many new sploits to have much faith in antivirus (it's reactive, last line-of-defense security). Antivirus is an opposite Bloom filter... it'll tell you if you're pwned or may not pwned. It's a good to have, just not a complete holistic security posture.
