I'd like to request for the ability to open links in comments.

Thanks for creating this:)

Well it is my opinion that failure stories are far better than successful stories because success is difficult to replicate but failures can be easily avoided.

Essentially a leader is not defined by your ability in doing something, it's defined by how well you are able to utilize your team's ability to achieve something that can't be done by one person.

The link is so hidden I couldn't have discovered it without looking at the bottom (coincidentally).

Well actually regardless of that, Apple is a brand that people trust, and of course there are times that Apple might fail and we criticize because we trust they can do a better job.

To me it's much better that "this product is shit" than "ah it's apple, what do you expect?".

I've been writing a web app with Go for the past weeks, and for what I can say is that yes, Go has less magic in it, and if you don't do it right, you'll get a lot of duplicated code. It's not designed from the ground up as a web language so it might not be as suitable to write web apps using Go as other languages, but it's a real pleasure to write in Go.

Well I assume it's for the datacenter? Since it's right next to it...

Why do we need one anyway?

Oh I misunderstood you, I thought you were saying Client->HTTP->VPN->Server.

I suppose that you usually want to protect the part from client->server rather than just receiving encrypted things from server side.

Well they provided hope and dreams for the children, I'm not an American citizen so I don't feel the pain on how they waste their money, but they definitely don't deserve this kind of criticism. Programmers like to reinvent things as well, sometimes in a stupid way just for the sake of research or trying out new things.

His saying that the backend is crashing.

If earning $100/month is a failure, mine will be an epic failure. I'm totally not earning anything, plus it's still running totally based off my own wallet.

A way to indicate whether it is a failure or not is whether or not it continues to grow, if you're targeting a very specific market it is very unlikely that you will earn a lot of money (I personally don't have that much amount of email that I need InboxCleaner to do some job for me...).

If however it is an awesome thing, people will get to know it and start using it, then it won't be a failure.

> If there's a long line of people waiting to get in already. A long visible line coming out of the door, makes more people want to know about it and in some cases stand in line for it.

I think this is the main point, if you have a way to let people know how long the queue is and where is your position in the queue, it might actually work.

"A way to get thousands of scientific papers on The Pirate Bay"

Awkward.

Just wondering, can't you just format the server again? Or doesn't GoGrid provide that option at all? Since it's a brand new server, I guess there's no problem in formatting and installing it again.

I'd love to try it out, but I need a mirror...

AFAIK, hangout seems to be a much casual thing. If you want to find specific targets I don't think you can do that with hangout. However I don't have an invite yet so I might be wrong.

"Who" came up with the idea is not important, it's the "Who" who made the idea useful for others, is what matters.

WebKit is embeddable, sure, but if you're to write a browser that functions similarly to today's browser, it still takes months. You're gonna need to do bookmarks, tabs, history. Things have been made easier, surely but things are still as complicated as ever.

However this is drawn too far from the topic of Tau, what I'm trying to imply is that science and maths has work centuries with Pi, we've found many great theories with it as well. But in the modern era (quantum), Tau seems irrelevant (okay, I haven't studied too much about quantum, but I've read on articles and there's no mention on Pi either, correct me if I'm wrong).

What's the use of making things simple at the same time confusing people? Things have always worked out, and it should continue to work on.

Okay, I failed to properly address "improvement". By "improvement" I mean the time required to develop something new. Of course everything improves, simply because it's built on top of the base of an older version.

A simple example, it took months to write a simple browser with a little less features than the browsers available during the Win 9x era. Does it take weeks now? I doubt so.

Ok, to put it more simply, what I meant was improvement in the time required not as in the thing that was produced. Uh, get what I mean?

Leads me to think why Amiga and BeOS were deemed "ahead of its time". Is it because they never had to worry about hardware compatibility? After all they were "selecting" their own hardware and concentrate solely on software.

If compatibility weren't an issue, we might have been very advanced right now. Seems like compatibility is what stopping everything from properly advancing, except hardware maybe?

Of course, if there's proof that the changes from Pi to Tau will accelerate technological advancement even by 0.01%, I'll totally support it.

The fact is that making things easier doesn't necessarily mean improvement.

If it's not broken, don't fix it. I don't see pi broken as it has been used for _centuries_. Why should we change it all of a sudden? To signify that we're into a new era? The Tau era?

Well, you know. A .sql file containing username, password, email is a very high possibility that it's a leaked database.

Maybe Google should start working with security firm so that once their bots crawled on a leaked database they will notify the website owner immediately.

I've seen not only drinks but food as well. Even soup and gold can be bought through vending machines.

The key here might not be implementation but adoption.

Well, except that it doesn't matter for average consumers. If you read the article closely, what the consumers want is to get a tablet and use it comfortably. Why should they bother if they want 7" or 10"? Heck, why should they even bother to think about that?

This is different from a TV screen size, you don't have to hold the TV but you definitely need to hold the tablet, too small and you can't get your things done, too big it would be annoying to hold on to it as well. It does prove that Apple had done research and a lot of testing to get the correct size. Once this correct size is being pushed out, I don't see why consumers would want to prefer other sizes.

Note: When I say consumers I refer to average consumers, geeks like options and customizations, but average consumers don't want to be bothered by these.

I think the thing is that you get the feature done, and then ask the users how to polish. You have to come up with the feature yourself.
