Imagine Just Read the Instructions being manufactured and deployed en masse. You have landing zones essentially anywhere there is water - Lake Erie for Buffalo, Back Bay for Boston (ha! jk, I mean near Logan), Upper Bay for NYC, Biscayne Bay for Miami, etc etc all over the world.
That's anywhere, with sea access, in the world in 30 minutes.
Flight, from launch to landing, is already 100% automated / controlled from ground.
The registrar wasnt the one being fooled. They were reacting to a "legitimate" email address password reset.
If you've been on/. Long enough, you'll remember countless stories about how ALL Yahoo emails were breached. This was during the proposed sale to Verizon (?).
My wife had a Yahoo account, it took awhile to convince her to move elsewhere, but only because it was entrenched in the services she used.
Yea it's a PITA, but of you have a Yahoo email address, migrate immediately to anywhere else.
Oh and my original point was that the performance issues with JavaScript is mostly bottlenecking around the DOM interface, not developers using for...in vs for...of vs for() vs w/e (but that is still an issue - sometimes)
I've otherwise been content with JavaScripts performance - not the best, but it's perfectly fine.
Of course, the biggest question is whether any sort of sentient life would exist in the system at that point in time. If so, it would likely be so far advanced (billions of years of technological development) that building an orbital solar reflector would be a laughably trivial task, and even relocating the planet might be within their reach.
As history proves, technological development is not always forward (ie: Dark Ages, or if you're into sci-fi, after the empire falls in the Foundation Series), so even if we, or some version of sentient life, survive 4b years, we might not be able to solve the problem. We could very well be stuck on this rock or in this solar system with no means of escape, except generation ships shot out to distance systems.
The ultimate achievement would be if they were to develop technology to siphon off matter from the sun over billions of years, ultimately reducing its mass to under 0,3Msol. Then it would not only burn slower, but also be fully convective - greatly extending its lifespan. Very low mass main sequence stars can potentially burn for trillions of years.
Intriguing... wouldn't you want to siphon off the heavier elements from the sun, rather than the lighter elements? Or both at some perfect ratio? If the fuel is removed, it condenses, if heavier mass (non-fuel) is removed, it expands.
Even if this investment never reaches black, M$ will view it as a win.
This is about vertical integration, pure and simple.
Control not only the productions systems (read Azure), but also the development systems (read GitHub). CI/CD is starting to become a must-have feature among GitHub, GitLab, and others, which only further reinforces reliance on a particular system/structure
Build those walls, ensure you support the entire workflow process from start to finish, then close the gates.
I saw the prices for the new core, and I feel like Intel is trying to be the Apple of CPUs. Inflated price just because "Intel" rather than those other guys "AMD".
Do you seriously think this $2 billion is all he will give to these charities and that this $2 billion is all these charities will ever need?
If so, then this an even bigger con.
If not, then you've answered your own question. Any money going to further support these charities could be use to make that one-time payout a permanent wage increase.
A cynic would say that is only a one time payout of ~$3,533 per employee. A realist would understand that only the bottom rungs of the income ladder should get this money, so let's redo the math:
Amazon has "125,000 full-time hourly associates in the U.S" (source).
Does Bezos really think that the overhead of starting, yet another, charity and its administrative costs is cheaper than just giving his lowest level employees a decent living wage?
This announcement says, yes, he does think that. But you say, that's just stupid.
So a then you would say, who benefits?
The Day 1 Academies Fund "will launch and operate a network of high-quality, full-scholarship, Montessori-inspired preschools in underserved communities," Bezos said.
Bezos said that the preschools will be directly operated by the organization and "use the same set of principles that have driven Amazon."
"Most important among those will be genuine, intense customer obsession," Bezos wrote. "The child will be the customer."
In the age of DeVos, Bezos is going to open private charter schools, for the youngest among us, and run them like a business, but the difference is that the "child will be the customer".
Smell something?
Would someone learn the likes and dislikes of these children and slowly build an "anonymized" ad profile for that child, following them throughout their life span, knowing exactly what products they are likely and not likely to buy?
Now the decision to pass over that wage increase and open a "charity" makes sense.

It really isn't that far of stretch...

I'm sorry, if you still have a Yahoo email that controls anything of value, you're an idiot and this is well deserved.
What does this mean?
The point wasn't the use of addClass, it was just a chosen method to demonstrate the issue of DOM lookups never being cached.
You might want to Google latter vs former...

Do you know how many times I see jQuery code like this:
$('.someEle').addClass('class-1');
$('.someEle').addClass('class-2');
$('.someEle').addClass('class-3');
$('.someEle').addClass('class-4');
For god sake, assign that DOM lookup to a fuckin variable and reference it! No need to skim the DOM four effin' times to do some work on an element.
The pricing though... AMD still edges out in my book.

I could honestly see Trump reading a headline "IBM rebrands Red Hat to Blue Wave" and going bat-shit over it
I don't think so.

However, it identified 3,551 bugs, was able to automatically fix 15, and notified a human of the rest.
FTFY.
In that case, this sounds totally worth it. That's 3,551 bugs that QA or the client don't have to run into.
*gasp* It all makes sense now...

Now it's a one time payout of $16,000!
A "warehouse associate" earns ~$13/hr (source).
That is a staggering (/s) $27,040 per year.
