Discriminating and then accusing someone of not seeing discrimination. Classy.

Or any estate, or literally anywhere that isn't Africa...

This article continuously states that speed limit signs have little to no bearing on how fast people actually drive, and it says Lt. Megge is actually arguing this. If it has no bearing on how fast people drive, and changing speed limits actually doesn't affect the speed of traffic like they say in the article, why are they changing them? Why are they too low right now? Why does the 85th percentile matter at all? If people pay as little attention to speed limit signs as is mentioned in the article, wouldn't changing them have no effect on safety whatsoever - be it lower or higher, better or worse?

9*9 = 81, your original area is 81 pi square miles... And your world only got 25 times larger. Just saying.

They're still reasons that the business should sell the app at that price, not reasons a consumer should buy it at that price.

>In the emerging health and wellness markets, startups like Oscar intimately disrupt and destroy their customer's lives through incorrect datasets where an A/B testing mentality results in exorbitant fees, angry hospital administrators and patients with no recourse except to bankrupt themselves paying bills they didn't expect.

This doesn't make sense to me. How is an A/B testing mentality at fault for this? It has nothing to do with the incorrect datasets... you don't A/B test your data structure... I hope. A/B tests are blamed later in the article too, not really sure why.

The total number of non-addicted people is also rising, by that logic, which is why % is in there...

Yea, I just read the article again and it seems more ridiculous than I thought at first glance.

They just worded it wrong, really... It should say it's 52.9% of what it was in 2013, meaning it is a 47.1% drop.

But linking to data for 5 months and then only using the 4 you want to use to skew numbers seems pretty ridiculous to me.

And then in the same page there's data for drug/narcotics violations which isn't even mentioned because it is going up (21% more) even though there are supposedly plummeting marijuana convictions. Also they stated that the crime rate in Denver is going down, yet the data shows the exact opposite.

Whole article seems like cherrypicking at its finest.

<pre> anyone?

>you can't follow every city and country on earth's laws and stay in business.

If you are unable to follow a city or county's laws, then you either need to go about trying to change those laws in that city or country, or not operate there. They released an app specifically to do something that is not legal in a specific city - look at that twitter post.

You can't do something illegal in one city just because it's legal elsewhere - why should an app be allowed to?

>...Heck, most people on Hackers News don’t even have an actual business.

>The subject matter of the post drove businesses with real money to our site.

...from Hacker News? Anyone else find this rather contradictory?

And in this case, where not available as well.

He would have been able to print the posters, but had he only raised 10,000, he would still be in the hole for:

Less shipping supplies ($5,811)

Less storage lease for 5 months ($690)

Less postage ($4,701)

Less temporary help ($741)

Less charity: water contribution ($2,000)

$13,943 in addition to his $15,000 loan, as well as Kickstarter taking 5% and the 5% merchant fee, which would have come out to ~$1000. I don't think people would have received the poster.

That seems like it would be hard to enforce with an open modding system...

But these aren't clever or particular ways of doing things. You're using Bootstrap's css classes to do exactly what they're designed to do.

Really? When I first heard about Bootstrap I found it pretty easy to look at almost all of the documentation in under an hour, and it covered all of these things, except the hover dropdown, which is simple css, and the media queries.

From the first bullet point in the "Grid System":

>Rows must be placed within a .container (fixed-width) or .container-fluid (full-width) for proper alignment and padding.

Different stacking in mobile and desktop: http://getbootstrap.com/css/#grid-example-mixed Nesting Columns: http://getbootstrap.com/css/#grid-nesting Column Ordering: http://getbootstrap.com/css/#grid-column-ordering Lead class: http://getbootstrap.com/css/#type-body-copy Block Quotes: http://getbootstrap.com/css/#type-blockquotes Inline Lists: http://getbootstrap.com/css/#type-lists Inline Forms (helping screen readers): http://getbootstrap.com/css/#forms-inline Images: http://getbootstrap.com/css/#images

I guess you might not think to look for it in the documentation, but if you don't think to look for it, that means you probably aren't using it, and don't need it... I still wouldn't really call any of these things tips or tricks, it's just actually reading the documentation of what framework you're using, which apparently people don't do?

I think that Firefox has lagged behind because of Firebug. When there is already a way for developers to do things, why invent your own, unless you can make it better?

>[1] Yes, person who is about to reply, I know you personally didn't.

Maybe you should have said "Some people," then.

Down with the technical interview, up with the Github profile!

I guess that's great for people that have a sweet Github profile...

Why read into it this far, and just completely ignore what she said of the incident, "I took it for the joke it was intended to be..."

I don't think it was meant to be taken the way you portrayed it at all.

>As I said in the post, we just want people to use a safe system that makes sense to them.

So going from a platform where random developers don't have access to _all_ of my contact info to one where they do is safer, in your opinion?

I get that you are trying to produce a better developer API, but I don't think users have any more control over their data with your product than they do with LinkedIn. Now they're just at the mercy of a different company's business decisions, which is how it will be in the majority of cases, as I see it.

People cry about lack of privacy, then people cry about too much privacy... I guess it gives people something to write about no matter what.

And if you can plug your company as one of the Good Guys(tm) at the end I guess that gives you even more incentive to write about it.

Do pay attention. I commented on the need to mention Apple in this sub thread, as Firefox (the main topic here, if I'm not mistaken) had the same functionality. Then, epochwolf stated that the reasons for implementing the added functionality were different, and therefore the mention of Apple added to the original comment. I then commented asking whether or not he had a source for stating the reasons for implementing said functionality, since it seems as though they're unsubstantiated.

I personally don't see how a couple parameters in the constructor are adding so much complexity that you'd be better off without DI.

A good DI container can make it much easier to follow a pretty good amount of general best practices. Single Responsibility, DRY, and Open-Closed Principle to name a few.

But that's not true at all. The genesis for DI was nothing close to that (as I learned it). DI's main purpose isn't testing, it's flexibility. DI isn't there solely for testing, or if it is, you're probably missing the point of it.

Do you have a source for this, or did you just make up some reasons to justify mentioning Apple? ...

There was little need to reference Apple though, as Firefox can do the exact same thing by pressing F11 (on Windows).

So you're saying that nobody benefits unless they sue the other person?

I would think this rule (law?) applies more to prevent gridlock... If you don't have enough room to actually be on the other side of the intersection after you've finished the turn, you shouldn't start it.
