Which one of these are you using for VoIP on your computer?

> 'light, snackable, mass-market apps'.

I don't get this. What makes an app "snackable"? Like: "Ohh, it's so easy to use, fuck that! Cool guys configure their apps in source code and compile them themselves". I've never understood why people feel that instantly something is popular it must suck or be bad.

I could easily make a twitter app that would require you to donate $5 to a charity, run a mile and press a button 100 times everytime you tweet. This sure as hell isn't snackable or mass marketable. Am I now part of the cool kids club?

So it's just about size of the team and the amount of money? Why should that be a consideration? I personally just care that the application works and does what I expect it to do. I don't care if it's done by big team or small team or a single chimpanzee from the local zoo.

> I fear we've moved into an era where pop — popular, light, snackable, mass-market — apps, not indie apps

This is some pretencious bullshit if I've ever seen some. "Uhh, you like them 'pop' apps, go back to your herd you sheeple". Like what the hell even is indie app? Based on this context it's anything that isn't doing so well or is "underground" that's not what indie means, it just means "independent" as in it's few guys/gals doing it on their free time.

And what is actually preventing author from giving money to indie app developers "I would if I could", bullshit, have you actually contacted the devs and asked if they would setup a paypal for monthly donations? I doubt it. Sure there are some people who develop apps just for fun and don't want to feel obligated to update the apps (i.e. they don't want paying customers), but I'm sure many on your "indie app list" would be willing to take your money if you just offered it.

Is this a common issue? Do these pre-peeled oranges last keep as long as un-peeled ones? Are they as good, say, a week after they have been peeled?

If this is really a common issue (I have no idea I haven't thought about peeling oranges before in this way) and these sell at fast pace, I see no problem. But if store only sells a couple each week and rest are just left to rot then I feel like these probably shouldn't be sold. Or maybe author could ask their local store to implement some sort of "pay extra and we'll peel 'em" deal.

Power and laptop requirements are the easiest to solve here, she has a big trenchcoat. You can easily hide enough battery power to power kinect. And at the end of the day kinect just outputs signal so why can't you have something small like RPi or phone to take in the data and send it to a more powerful computer for processing.

Yeah, so they want to make more money. Is that necessarily best thing for the bitcoin as a whole? Just for full disclosure I have my bitcoins over at Coinbase.

This just makes me go: "well, duh". If I would come in on your current project and make changes you didn't agree with, would you "let me in"?

If things are really so bad and Bitcoin is FOSS, why don't you (or whoever cares about rising the limit most) just fork the project and create Bitcoin 2.0. If this is truly best thing for the currency then everyone is bound to jump the ship and use your new currency.

Just by reading the top two points:

1. Some of them show very poor communication skills or a lack of maturity — this has hurt bitcoin’s ability to bring new protocol developers into the space.

2. They prefer ‘perfect’ solutions to ‘good enough’. And if no perfect solution exists they seem ok with inaction, even if that puts bitcoin at risk.

I get this bad feeling that someone (author of the article) is planning a takeover and for all the wrong reasons. I've seen this "yeah they are smart guys, but they are introverts and our business needs to be extravert and agile and adaptive and fast moving and all other buzz words", then you introduce some of thous extrovert super agile people who just want to "bang out a solution, since any change is better than no change". Next thing you notice is that the old core team members are leaving after their protests about future of the product fell on deaf ears and these new guys are just pushing their own agenda/vision. Fast forward few years and just 1-2 or most likely none of the original team members are there anymore and cracks start to appear and these cracks are because the "better than nothing" solutions back in the day are found after all flawed, but now you have a lot of work build on top of rotten foundation and since your team now consists only of short sighted: "just fix it" people they are going to try to fix the problem at the top instead of at it's core "because we can't hold bringing in new features".

This makes repos look cool, but I'm not quite sure what benefit this offers over just using cli git in combination with gitk (for easy visualisation). I like the icon/gravatar thing, but since most people don't use gravatar there is just a lot of "space invaders" and no names unless I click on the commit.

And Apple is owned by the government?

> The NSA has access to all this data anyways

How so?

It also might just be that I'm a recent graduate and as such my current employment brings in (literally) 9 times as much income as I've used to have for past 5 years (since I moved out from my parents), so I have more money than ever, but it might level off as I get used to it, but it's just been 6 months, so I'm still constatly surprised when I see my bank account's balance.

Just as dumb as 2000 mile data path to a doorbell or security camera, but that still exists.

I personally haven't really thought about getting a IoT light bulb, but I would imagine you would program them to turn on when sun goes down, that shouldn't need direct connectivity and the bulbs can't tracks your phone moving aruond the house (or at least I doubt they can), so you either have to turn them on with your phone as you move along or just flip the switch or install actual movement sensors.

I'm probably completely missing the point of smart light bulbs, maybe you have actual use cases?

Not if you keep IoT devices on a separate network

Depends on the IoT device, some only have web interface that is controlled via manufacturers website, so as long as the actual device has internet connectivity you can do everything. Or maybe you can setup a "thorwaway" PC as a sort of proxy? Or maybe just one of the old (and sad) tablets/phones, depends on what you need/want to do and what kind of interfaces your IoT devices offer

Depends on your paranoia level if you trust something like that, but most people have old wifi enabled routers just laying around

It just constantly bogles my mind that apparently everyone in the US is earning six digit incomes on yearly bases. Either my family is poor (which I never thought) and I'm currently working for practically free (since I'm earning less than $40k/yr) or everyone over in the US is just way over reporting their incomes or value of goods is just so different that things some how equals out

Assuming the box is resealable you could just return it to the store in selling condition. Or little more unlikely you could by 10 from a different store, hax 'em, go to another store and put them back on the shelf

How about completely separated WiFi network for all IoT junk?

Cultural differences must just be insane between US and Finland. Because I doubt any teacher here earns 7500€/mo (which would be $100k/yr). But I've been through this multiple times with software developing. All U.S. based developers are talking about $100k/yr starting salaries and shit, when here average is $37k/yr (software engineer starting salary according to union)

teachers in general earning $50k, either teachers have to super good in U.S. or this doesn't include everything like high school, elementary schools, kindergardens and whatever else there is.

Skype is way better than hangouts first of all.

Secondly webrtc requires you to coordinate, it's not like I can just call someone. Just as well we could use TeamSpeak or Ventrilo or any of the old solutions.

Wanna code an alternative then

I only use cygwin to SSH into my irssi-box and that only because I have more control over how to looks than normal "cmd"

If you have something customizable, but not cygwin I'm all ears

But like they are there just for a second, then you just archive them. Or are you actually storing emails in your inbox?

What timeline? For me Inbox is just Gmail with better UI which categorises my shit automagically.

Instead of just downvoting how about you post a reason why? Was I off topic? Did I point out a design flaw?

Does the device constantly broadcast something so you can see when people are in range? Can this be turned off? What if I don't want to announce everyone where I am? (yeah, it probably doesn't send GPS constantly, but constant radio signals are pretty easy to triangulate). I would just want to broadcast a message and then all devices within range should pick it up and see if they can decrypt it (i.e. was it meant for them)

I guess it's good if you just want private stuff, but if you want to build portfolio type thing or want discoverability private stuff isn't ideal
