If the app expects the value of the field to be blank because that is what it was set to, then Chrome auto fills it, but it doesn't generate onChange events. So the app never knows the form has a value.

So many ugly hacks are needed as a consequence of this. I know what I want my app to do better than you Chrome. Please don't purposely break the Internet. When I try to do user management. I can't call the fields `username` or `

How does this relate to high frequency trading and paying more to get access to servers closer to the exchange? Is that paid prioritization / a fast lane? Or is that just purchasing a better plan? Where is the line drawn?

What are the specifics in regard to peering? It seemed like with Netflix there was some confusion and FUD and it was hard to know the exact facts. Normally as a business you are required to purchase bandwidth from bandwidth providers. I w

Speaking of finance and education... One things that makes no sense to me. Take 2 different scenarios: 1) Youth gets paid $4/hr (well below the minimum wage) to work in their chosen field as an apprenticeship. Graduates with a certif

That list is so touchy feely. It makes me feel like one of those "What are our company values?" meetings where people spend hours deliberating about things that are just a random list of positive adjectives taken from a dictionar

Doesn't the president have veto power? Seems kind of silly to make a law that says Obama can't do something when he can just veto said law.

I'll have to check it out. I remember back when I was doing Angular I looked through several and none of them were even close for what I wanted to do. I think React is much more standardized.

I'm in favor of a much higher land tax and getting rid of income and capital gains taxes. Taxing income and capital gains seems counter productive to me as it creates a penalty for working harder and investing. Those are activities th

I really like the concept of this. Especially with node/react I found learning webpack and setting everything up takes FOREVER. Unfortunately, platforms like these always seem ridiculously overpriced when compared to a bare metal dedi

Liberty is about having a choice. Being taken care of is security. They are completely different concepts. If you are given liberty you can still make foolish choices that lead to a loss of life or shortening of your life. Also, if someone

I would lean towards the "tough shit" method. Although, if it was paid bi-monthly they would only be screwed for 2 weeks. Not long enough to realistically have any life threatening consequences. They would learn pretty quick.

What is meant by cash in this context? I'm assuming a lot of it is invested in financial vehicles with varying degrees of risk and liquidity? It's not just sitting in a savings account earning 0.01% interest, is it?

Very interesting. This makes me wonder if a similar technique can be used for compression?

90% of words in the English language are not used by the majority of people. Maybe we should just get rid of those words? 99% of the world doesn't use Calculus. Maybe we should stop teaching it in school. Lame article.

Not that San Francisco has any room for new buildings but this smells like crony capitalism. Which solar panel company lobbied to have this become law? And which politician is getting the kickback?

I use Dvorak if I'm typing English and it's a full sentence or more. But trying to use vim with Dvorak bindings just seems crazy to me. You wouldn't be able to use the home row arrow keys if you are in dvorak mode. There w

If you are concerned about flash point, make sure it is clarified butter (Ghee). Normal butter still has a decent amount of milk that will easily burn at lower temperatures.

The book "Death by Food Pyramid" goes into great length about the history of how the food pyramid came to be and the story of how it got corrupted.

That's correct. Cheese has a really high concentration of the casein protein which breaks down into casomorphins in the gut which then act like an opioid. Cheese is also very high in advanced glycation end products (AGEs) which are k

Makes more sense to me to allow bankruptcy to apply to student loan debt than to add even more rules and and exceptions to the laws.

No. There's a subtle yet important difference between treating people equally and making people equal. What you are talking about is equality of outcome. I'm talking about equality before the law. They are 2 different things. ht

I've seen this happen in real time with augmented reality googles. It had a bunch of the Facebook profiles in advance though so it was a much smaller search space.

I'm not sure. Most of the large tax software companies give the low end product away for free or close to free. They make their money from people with more complicated scenarios not people filing 1040EZ's.

Why do you say that? To me, it seems disingenuous to discount the fact that they pay more by using a relative percentage instead of an absolute amount. I may be in the minority but I believe governments shouldn't discriminate based on

They are only handling the simple cases for the free filing system. Basically only if you qualify for 1040EZ.

If you are working as a programmer in Silicon Valley your income is most likely high enough to itemize to deduct your state taxes from the Federal Adjusted Gross Income. Your deduction would exceed the standard deduction. Unless you know

I was just reading the text. Looks like it is limited to just the simple cases (no deductions) where there isn't a lot to figure out already to begin with. Why not just automatically file unless the tax payer elects to file something
