Progressive enhancement has not at all been abandoned. The majority of frontend developers are constantly thinking about accessibility, usability, writing semantic markup and making simple enhancements with JS, that's the standard these days, you build sites that work on any device, at any resolution with and without javascript.
But the time where the web was just web pages is gone. You just cannot build an advanced web app without javascript, it's simply not feasible.
The option still exists, the gui for it has been removed, this changes nothing for the 1% who do turn off javascript, you just goto about:config, like every other advanced option.
If you think ads are the primary users of javascript on the web, then you need to step ahead a decade or so.
When, oh when, was the last time you found an ad that auto played music on a website? Ghostery/adblock/many other extensions let you block ads, and then you'll definitely never see or hear one.
IMO, comparing javascript to activex is simply hyperbole. You may, extremely rarely, come across some malicious code, but all the JS can really do is get the browser to load something like a pdf, a java applet or another file which loads a plugin. The javascript is not the vulnerability, it's the unpatched software on your machine.
Speed, or the illusion of speed for an app is pretty vital. There are certain aspects of your session and the the state of the app which can be stored client side and queried as needed, missing out http lookups, server speed, database queries etc make your app seem a hell of a lot more snappy.
Stop with your strawman. If you're ok giving up your privacy for a vague threat, a threat with incredibily low chances of occuring, then I do think you're not thinking it through completely, but me pointing out how the majority is often wrong is not me saying "I know best, these should be the rules, everyone listen to me because I'm smarter then you".
That the majority of the public are short term thinking morons? It doesn't matter whether or not all that has been claimed of PRISM is true, they are happy to give up privacy and freedoms if it "helps fight terrorism"
I was merely pointing out that there is some credibility that what he says is in the archive, actually is in the archive, and that acting as if it's just some script kiddie making stuff up has to ignore the fact that this kid has proven credible with the info already leaked.
Why offer that much throughput then complain when people actually make good use of it. If you want people to buy business lines, make it competitive with your home accounts.
Every time something many people understand in the summary isn't explained, people complain. Every time something many people understand in the summary is explained, people complain.
In what world does a company continuing to use it's founders name which has substantial investment in that brand, mean the founder is still involved with the company?

So you the web dev toolbar for much easier access to that option.
You thinking of web sites or web apps? There should be no expectation for a web app to run smoothly with javascript disabled.

There is definitely a point were you begin to take security to levels resembling paranoia. I think you found it.
Not really, he's talking about the content on offer on the UK netflix, not just UK content in general.
The hell you on about? The guy said nothing about prevention.
We have "tempora" for the none public data.

You don't need to use github to use git, bit if you really like github, you can run it on your own servers, there is an enterprise version.
*were
seriously want that edit feature.
If the chances of walking out your house and being blown up where around 10% then I think you'd have a point.

That'd be weird, me voting in an American election for someone who I think is a dangerous idiot brought up by a looney father.

When you start releasing info on yet to be confirmed or released hardware, services and sdk's, which are then verified, then you can take the piss.

So is the amazon, or new york, or any other place I've not visited before then.
Space != Sci-Fi
Not sure if bad joke or moron.
Don't blame us, blame the marketers and SEO people.
