I am sad to announce that I am leaving @w3c at the summer's end, and delighted to say that I'm moving to New York to join @StdrdAnalytics!

You should drop by to visit ;)
Thanks!
Thank you :) I’m sure hoping that too!
C’est sûr! Mais je serais heureux de passer la main (il n’y a pas grand chose à passer, mais bon).
Tout pareil.
Thanks!
Thanks! That hasn’t been discussed yet.
Thank you!
Merci :)
Yes, that’s a given. There’s a new group coming up that will work more formally with that.
Thanks!
Hahahaha. Yeah, they have conferences and the such over there :)
Thanks! The project over there is something that’s both new and very close to my heart.
Join the incubator when it gets created ;)
I definitely will :)
Thanks a lot!
I will finish the split before leaving. After that, if it isn’t picked up it’s that there isn’t interest anyway, right?
Yeah me too! But it’s not the end of the road my friend!

yeah :(
Ça va être difficile, peut-être plutôt à un moment en août (mais je ne suis pas sûr de quand…)
EXACTLY.
Hahaha, thanks :)
Awww, it’s been fun — and it will continue just in a different way ;)
I think it’s very cool; put some open science in your open science!

Thanks Odin :)
That’s a very kind thing to say, man. Thanks!

Thanks! I’m not straying that far away.
Me too, I’m very excited :) See you there!
Yes, I’m sad to leave too, but the new project is very exciting. We’re moving to NYC!
Awwwwww. We’ll still be in touch! And NYC is nice, come see us there! @yoavweiss

Thanks :) Shame you’re no longer there!

Largely unrelated :)

Either that, or if you draw enough circles you can describe any logo ;-)
That depends largely on what the expected future for *.webplatform.org is — but it’s an option @briankardell @yoavweiss
I think there may be a fair bit of that involved :-)
Haha, merci! :)

Well played :-) @janl
I was being (gently) mean, having civilised naming discussions is hard, even in nice communities. Kudos :-)
Merci :-)
One reason I welcome the robot revolution is because today you can't just bloody kneecap software. Yes, looking at you Migration Assistant.
Awww thanks man. I’m not sure Yves St Laurent would’ve been caught dead in that outfit though :)
Thanks a lot!
Tout passe, tout change :) Merci!
It’s unclear to me why no one makes the antitrust case. It’s a blatant violation, so much worse that what MS got beat up for.
♥ 1
I don’t think that holds. Anticompetitive behaviour + consumer-hurting behaviour (by slowing down the Web) is IMHO enough.
Obviously, caveats as to my qualifications as a lawyer are available in select areas.

I think that's fallacious, though. The impact is real. @jaffathecake
Merci :-)

Is there an Android tablet + keyboard combo you’d recommend?
Tu aurais dû finir sur «#AvecToi?» :)
I see the one you mean, but I’m not necessarily looking for one that’s sold as a combo.
Nice, thanks!

Awwww! Merci :-) Bisou par avance pour ParisWeb puisque tristement je n'en serai pas.
Short of testing, is there a way to know if a 220V appliance will work with 110V? #IntoTheWild
Thanks! :-)
It says so on nothing I have, which I find unlikely.
I'm surprised that there is nothing in my house that's dual!
Merci :-)
Yeah, the reverse definitely blows up :-)
Thanks! Maybe we'll get to meet if you hop over to this side of the continent!
Va falloir faire NewYorkWeb.
Disons que c’est avec très grand plaisir que je vous verrais là-bas :) En plus je vais faire du publishing… @m4d_z
thanks!

@recifs J’ai de nouveau le bug de login SeenThis. À ce stade le bouton «login» ne fait même plus rien.
Rien dans la console si ce n’est que Firefox n’aime pas les champs password hors HTTPS.
Le problème persiste en tuant le cache. Par contre dans Chrome ça roule tout seul.
Tu es sous Firefox aussi? Je ne reproduis pas ni avec Chrome, ni avec Safari. @recifs
Aussi, ça te le fait là maintenant? Je me demande si ça dépend des users ou pas. @recifs
Any recommendation for a US bank?
Certes, mais encore faut-il savoir lesquelles :)
Well, on the good side they can only be so much worse than French banks.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a lack of faith in the local system :) @mnot

No. I know @github uses it to trigger text copy for instance. There are a few technical reasons left.

That’s mostly true for older browsers, but essentially it’s a solved problem.
I don’t think so, most of the remaining uses don’t even paint stuff on screen. E.g. text copy.
React on ES6+ babeljs.io/blog/2015/06/0…
That one has a replacement that’s been in the pipeline forever; it could be a good candidate for priority implementation.

Thanks a lot for the video, sadly it doesn’t help :( I need to get my hands on Safari 8. @stevefaulkner
I suspect a problem with the fetch polyfill, but it’s hard to test without digging into the network tab. @stevefaulkner
If Safari doesn’t send the cookie, it’ll get told by the server it isn’t logged in even though it is. @stevefaulkner
Can you please tell me what labs.w3.org/hatchery/ash-n… gives you (in non-private mode)? @stevefaulkner
Wow, it’s very aggressive! The cookies are from the same origin and all! @stevefaulkner

Alternative solution to the Greek crisis: kick Germany out to teach them some humility; solve the remaining smaller issues without austerity

Which is why allowing one country to humiliate another is a pretty bad idea.
Oh at this point it's sure to be really ugly in all cases. "Reform without austerity" wasn't seriously considered, alas @roessler

There are plenty of ways for Greek revenue to go up, most have to do with bringing money in from the dark. @roessler
There is a huge difference of impact between across-the-board austerity and targeting specific nonsense. @roessler
Even including the church and the shipyards? And transferable retirement? And fraud? @roessler
It's a fair bit more subtle than that, it depends largely on money circulation. @roessler
Greek debt per capita is 29k. That's about 4k less than France. @roessler

It doesn’t have CDMA support. But it does support LTE, which is in the USA.
LTE (aka 4G) is what is replacing both 3G/GSM and CDMA (the US stuff). @dontcallmeDOM
So the FF2 probably doesn’t work in some parts of rural America. I’m not sure about other CDMA places. @dontcallmeDOM
That’s the assessment from 2013; my understanding is things are better now. @steltenpower
