   As more of the computational elements of UIs shift from server-side HTML to client-side Javascript, server-side frameworks like Rails, Django, PHP, etc. become less relevant. Fast forwarding, many apps are (or will be) big JS blobs using AP

   General strategy for dealing with municipalities, zoning and codes that are blocking : share (very nicely) what you WANT to do, and ask (very nicely) why not? If they say, "no", ask (again, very nicely) what part of the code&#x2

   The problem is not an undersupply of housing, it's an undersupply of housing where the jobs are. Jobs --> demand --> develop-able spots are expensive -> housing and rents are expensive unless the housing is built by a charity.

   Can anyone explain: why are government works automatically public domain (not copyrighted) but government inventions are not unless explicitly stated?

   The article and report qualify "modest" increases in minimum wage. If you are talking about raising the minimum wage to $15, that's not "modest". Also, the report talks about job growth after minimum wage increase

   That looks like more of a grammar. A specification would describe, among many, many, many other things, how big an int is and what happens for overflow, etc.

    I think the shift is about scale. It's one thing to have a small set of documents. It's something else to have a very large set: the interlocking and mutually reinforcing nature of large disclosures gives another degree of legi

    IANAL, but it wasn't a "case" in a conventional sense of plaintiff and defendant. At issue was an order, issued by a court at the government's request, that Apple was contesting. If the order is moot or withdrawn, Apple

    Pure speculation: Google was the first to build very high density server farms. As such, they had various proprietary designs and approaches, and became heavily invested. And then it took them a while to decide that leveraging the open sou

    This attack vector also assumes that 100% of the phone state is in the NAND chip -- is that known to be true? The phone has a lot of modules. The article is interesting, but it presents a hypotheses with far more confidence than it deserve

    I completely agree. At what point do we get completely fed up with the increasing lack of technical competence in the government?

    I wonder what the poll results would have been if the question had been: "Do you think Apple should be ordered to make a special, less secure version of iOS for the FBI, to unlock this phone?"

    If they can find the wreck, they have a decent chance of debugging the cause, and implementing corrections to prevent it from happening again. Depending on the cause, that can be worth a lot. See: https://en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F

    I'm wondering if "clickbait" should be a first-class content flagging option. It's subjective, of course. Clickbait is not quite fraud...but I do feel like people are attempting to steal my attention.
