Unless you're trying to get out a country with no internet.
Maybe you're a journalist in Iran, involved in the recent protests. Iran cut off the internet in entire parts of the country. They also block a lot of sites when you can get access.
There is no requirement stating when an image must be downloaded.
Where does it say a browser must immediately render a replaced element with it's content when it's downloaded?
You started whinging about standards compliance but now you've stopped referencing standards.
Please enlighten me, I must have missed something. Also, HTML5 compliance does not require a browser supports Javascript, so scripting being on or off has nothing to do with it. In reference to JavaScript/ECMA262 "User agents are not required to support the languages listed above." https://www.w3.org/TR/2014/REC...
Images in HTML 5 are replaced elements The content of replaced elements is not part of the CSS rendering model, so is not required to "render" the element as far as HTML/CSS is concerned.
Sma thing goes with videos, a browser is not required to download the video file to render a element.
Their use-case of issuing tickets for not stopping at a stop sign has already been covered by cameras and mailing out infringement notices. Same with running red lights. Same with speeding. Same with driving in bus lanes. etc...
I can't think of a single use for a police car with no officer that already isn't done better with existing technology.
Or won't be blocked by anything if they're hosted by the site you're visiting. Like what quite a few news websites are doing now on their mobile optimised pages.
When I'm on my phone I don't want the dozen or so images of "look what [celebrity] looks like now, you won't believe it!" ads to waste my data allowance.
Browsers are supposed to render everything in the viewport. Ie: only the visible part. Once the content of the viewport is determined, anything else is wasted cycles.
There is no HTML standard that says a browser needs to render the entire page. In fact there a provisions for displaying content before the entire page is even retrieved. eg: The table element was designed so a browser could start rendering it before the element was retrieved.
But none of the 17 hydro power stations in Victoria have been able to keep their grid stable. Prior to this battery their main backup power source was gas fired generators.
on the wholesale market, yes. power companies will pay a lot of money for power when generators go offline unexpectedly. It's bad publicity when an entire state has a blackout.
Got any examples of pumped storage hydro power that can react in less than a minute? This battery reacts in a couple of milliseconds, and because of that it has saved the grid from a blackout due to a coal power station failing. The backup gas power station takes 30 seconds or so to spin up.
The entire state had a blackout in 2016 that may have been averted if they had this battery. A storm took out a bunch of major power lines, which caused protection systems to shut down some wind farms. The link to a neighbouring state grid was overloaded and tripped. The entire state went black. It's the reason they installed the battery in the first place.
The rates spike because there is a power shortage. It's pretty simple. To fix the problem they'd need to build more power stations that can spin up faster. Australia has huge numbers of roof-top solar installation and nearly every house also has air conditioning. This leads to big fluctuations in power generation and demand. Lots of sun = lots of power generation from solar, lots of power consumption from A/C. The two don't always run in sync, so there's big gaps to fill.
It means they're aware of any backdoors they found and have thought of mitigations for them. It also means any they have a war chest of their own 0-day exploits they've found.
It could also mean if they use it, they do so only to appear to trust it.
So basically, it means nothing at all and you can't base anything on it.

You don't need to put a warhead in to orbit.
I imagine you could land a payload anywhere on earth if you send it up 1000km, like this rocket can do with 140kg payload.

Or maybe Syria?
Or North Korea?
When was the last time you managed to access Dropbox via LTE while in North Korea?
oh right, the "living standard"
Which will say that until someone submits a pull request to change it. Like Google, who are a member of WHATWG

I'm going to call it a "wheel"
In other news, someone has re-invented distributed file storage. aka BitTorrent Sync
Good for you.
That's nice.
But if you want to drive on a public road, you must obey all traffic laws. It's a privilege, not a right. A judge won't care what you want.
The laws about speed cameras, etc, usually all state the equipment must be compliant to certain standards, tested and calibrated.

You change the law so the registered owner of the vehicle is liable and must prove the real driver if it wasn't them.

What about moron /. commenters who confuse "progressive jpeg" with "preogresive mpeg"?

All you need is administrator access and to reboot the machine!
Wait, what else can you do if you have that level of access...

With an average rate of $500/MWh, spending 28x that to prevent a blackout seems reasonable.

Or will a magnet be enough to open the pouches without damage?
1000k+ a month?
You know that's a million dollars, right?
It means the Russians won't tell Symantec about the vulnerabilities they find.
It means they're aware of any backdoors they found and have thought of mitigations for them.
It also means any they have a war chest of their own 0-day exploits they've found.
