That's a link to a 192GB page? No wonder it won't load.

Hmm.
Might need a bigger monitor in order to use it as a desktop background.

Here's the situation. A long time ago (in a galaxy far, far away ...), I walked into a branch of a major national American bank and opened up some accounts (i.e., checking, brokerage, IRA, etc.), and was able to set up a passcode that I was to give to a telephone representative to help me with my online account. I no longer have those original accounts (or they are dormant, etc.), but do have an active credit card account. The code I gave is what I now consider to be a "throwaway password" to log into any internet account in which I can't be financially or legally harmed (like CodeProject ), whereas I use different passwords for any banking account, and especially the ones where payments can be made from my main stash  . Anyway, this passcode is the last instance of my having this "throwaway password" for something important, so of course, I want to change it, or even delete it, since I have a different passcode for my credit card account.
So I ask how to change the online passcode, and I am told that I need to visit a branch. I respond with the fact that I live far away now, and am told, sorry, no go. I call up the "Executive Office" number that GetHuman.com recommends, and I end up talking to a few folks that purported to be "executives" who, even after I strongly mentioned that this passcode should be considered insecure, that I could not even get it deleted!  I then said that any major institution these days has someone called "Chief Security Officer", and asked to speak to his office since obviously there is a big hole in the security procedures if a customer tells the freaking bank that the passcode should be considered compromised, and the bank cannot do anything to stop it from being used! (Of course I was denied. ) I then told the last yahoo that the government is going to force them to do this for me, and then promptly filed an official complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Yup. That's a major f***-up right there for that bank.

In the mean time I assume you've reduced your balances in accounts with them to 1 cent each and signed up for paper statements again.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Er .. no! The bank asked you to verify your identity by attending a branch in person. How is that unreasonable?
Are you suggesting that the bank should simply have taken your word for it that you weren't somebody who had obtained the password by nefarious means and was now attempting to lock out the true owner by changing it? And it was supposed to be not at all suspicious that you now lived 'too far away' to do the necessary?
Looks to me that you want security only when it's not inconvenient for you.

I just converted a subset of pages on a website to SPA. The pages typically load about 25 jqwidget javascript controls, and on my free EC2 instance, a page takes about 5 seconds to load.
After converting to SPA, loading only the page-specific HTML and Javascript, and the same Ajax query to populate the grid, the page loads in under a second. Can't even measure it.
Hot damn.
Oh, and article on the SPA code is coming out in November, as I refuse to use any of these bloated framework. 8 functions, 97 lines of Javascript (including } and blank lines).
