It already happened for those reference frames, they just haven't been able to observe it yet. For any such beings living there, they don't know about the event yet. But when they witness it, they will measure and calculate that t

No, in our reference frame it took 26,000 years for the light to travel to us so that we could see it. We measure that the event occurred 26,000 light years away so we calculate that it occurred 26,000 years ago. There are other reference f

Neanderthals not only developed along the same evolutionary path as us... they're full blown homo sapiens. There's a high likelihood you have Neanderthal DNA yourself. That's not an example of something else being able to dev

I don't know why people are mentioning CSS as if only special types of resources can be cached with ETags. ETags can be used on HTML documents or TXT files or whatever. It doesn't matter what type of file it is.

I'm surprised Google wasn't already normalizing apostrophes and other punctuation anyway. I'm sure they will be now.

The thing that makes the web different and why the idea of a living standard makes sense for the web is because (by and large) web changes can't break backwards compatibility. Browser vendors are unwilling to make changes that will bre

Things are not back up for me. And looking at Twitter, it looks like things are still broken for a lot of people.

Some worst case scenarios: - Your tab freezes due to an infinite loop for a while until your browser notices and asks you if you want to kill the script. - The script downloads illegal content, and your ISP notifies authorities. - CSRF atta

Ok, interesting. The gravity part makes sense. I don't understand the difference with magnetism though. Let's say you have a positively charged item and you're standing on top of a large negatively charged surface. You "

This matches up with what I was paid at Google, even a little under, at the T3 level. I didn't have any competing offers. And I didn't negotiate. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Maybe T3 level is accurate because they're new hires, but higher

Sounds like maybe the culture is different in Germany for this. In the states 5 mph over the speed limit is normal. While you could get a ticket for it, you won't unless you're in a small town that's just trying to pad its bu
