   I think thats why google has been pushing so hard for https, isps were able to do tracking just as well under http, so google wants to shut that door.

   Its being debated whether ballot selfies should be allowed or not, because it is protected by free speech or because it violates current laws about voter bullying. So a system that allows third-party verification of an individuals vote is p

   Especially with the way Safari is being developed, I'm guessing we're going to go back to needing a jQuery library to handle all the browser inconsistencies.

   For small to medium websites, what benefit does React or Vue have over plain HTML + jQuery?

   Imitation vanilla extract is also better in many cases as it can tolerate the high heat of baking where natural vanilla doesn't do as well.

    Vimeo only accepts content that it deems "artistic". Way back in 2008, a site called stage6 shut down, at the time it was the only streaming site that allowed 1080p videos and was the go to site for video game content creators to

    The biggest problem I've run into with React Native has been their handling of issues. Far too frequently I'll google an issue I'm having and click a link to a bug report that matches the exact problem I'm having and pro

    Not quite. There were net netrality regulations before 2015, but it was struck down because isp's weren't under title 2, so in 2015 they were reclassified under title 2. Thats what was ended.

    Yeah, its unfortunately missing a lot of alaska. But the main problem is I have no idea how to reproject it into web-mercator and generate usable tiles from it.

    Sure but I have no expertise on how to take those files and turn them into a tiles that correspond with the same basemap image tiles. Also ideally the service would incorporate more than just SRTM, including for example the USGS high res DE

    Yes, color for elevation and shading for slope. Another use case that I've been searching for is a tile set not of images, but of just elevation data. So that I could implement something similar to google earth's lat/lng&#x2F

    Do you know of any tile service offering colored, shaded elevation reliefs? I've been trying to find something for our meteorologists to use and the best I've found is https://maps-for-free.com

    I'm not sure how that last part plays out. If you need 100 cars active at rush hour and 10 active the rest of the day, then sure those 10 might have 90% utilization but the other 90 wont.

    How can you learn the soft skill of having a backbone? Its something that I lack but it seems innate in my personality. I have no idea how to even begin to change it.

    I disagree that people need more human connection, and preparing food, eating and cleaning in a social context are certainly not fundamental to being human.

    You accept an offer conditional on passing the bar. But even once you're out of school, if you want to do a clerkship you have to apply for it 1-2 years in advance.
