The real problem is that it works.

:-)

From the comment that explains a lot, but misses the point completely (exchange of oxygen between the bubble and the sea to replenish oxygen in the bubble):

Don't ask a chemistry question on a physics board ;-)

First thought when I read this: Is this the system das was the base for all their DDD talks?

Then we should show up in the Google search results with different urls depending on the device used for the search. There is no 1:1 mapping of site to mobile "pages" with a RIA.

Exactly.

Not happy with that decision. (We don`t do redirects)

After working for some time with iOS we recognized that an "app" suites our customers on mobile better than a "site". So we have a classic website for ecommerce, and a rich client application for mobile devices (HTML5, Angular). Both have very different domains and layouts, there is no 1:1 mapping possible except for the most basic features. The RIA page is optimized for gestures, orientation changes etc.

Contrary to mainstream opinion we believe mobile (for ecommerce, where people interact with a site, not newspaper sites etc.) is different from desktop (mouse, keyboard, large screen) and not just a "responsive" small version of your site (or desktop just a larger version of your mobile first site).

Not sure what your rant against Rand has to to with the quote in this context? Whenever someone uses "alea iacta est" to make a point, it's usually not the case to discuss Julius Caesar.

From Atlas Shrugged:

“Did you really think that we want those laws to be observed?” said Dr. Ferris. “We want them broken. [...] There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.”

Such a sad day.

Exactly. AirBnB and Uber (Stockholm) come to mind too.

Bitcoin supporters on HN:

One thread: Bitcoin is the future of money

Other thread: Bitcoin is not money, so why apply money rules?

It either is or isn't.

An eBay auction exclusively for EUR? Yes.

"Yes, because you can always relinquish your citizenship and leave the country if you don't want to pay taxes."

Thank you for this comment, I thought I was the only one on HN with that opinion.

I have also not read the article but an opinion.

My grades would have been better if I would have stick more to the books and learned more.

And then, only some days later, HN has forgotten the Reddit Boston witchhunts.

(If you want to make this into defending Erdogan, just don't)

Interesting how many people here are hand waving to explain this with immigrants, blacks etc. when from the outside everyone else sees it as the brutal "eye for an eye" policy that runs US thinking, society and foreign relations.

I, For One, Welcome Our New Steve 'Woz' Wozniak Correct Place in History Overlords. And the rumors about me are lies, I'm true to the gospel, he did not only develop a computer like dozens of others did.

As you are down voted I wonder: I have the same experience here. Very few serious problems (1/year) that come from developer bugs. Others seem to have much more, e.g. when people ask me if the devs here have pager duty (which they haven't).

I also wonder if we test too much (ca. 85% path coverage, 15k unit tests (3x rewritten), automatic selenium tests, explorative manual tests, automatic API tests, developer acceptance tests).

1. See my other comment on why I think this is relevant. 2. Dave makes it look like the thread was full of personal attacks and HN is awful. Re-reading the thread, this is surely not the case.

We disagree that Daves established behavior in different situations is relevant to the discussion on the submission here. I think this is relevant to his comments about HN, you're not.

Attacking people, getting push back, getting personal and portraying himself as a victim is a pattern that can be found over the last decade. Talking about this pattern is relevant when we discuss the behavior of HN posters here. Especially if Dave provokes this behavior in others with the goal of getting attention to himself. Then people agreeing on HN behavior in the comment of the second submission just play according to the book.

I thought I'd respond to personal accusations.

Dave is the victim?

"They assumed that I was being "egotistical" for thinking that Google ever cared what I thought, and arrogant that I think they should care what I think now."

As this might be about me, as I wrote "No, it's typical for your ego."

Several years ago I've sent Dave mails with ideas, which one of them he posted without attribution or credit to his blog. With some mistakes I've made included. In an ongoing mail discussion he credited himself, including the mistakes.

About personal attacks:

The way he handled Marissa on his blog:

"All I remember of it was there came a point in the conversation when Mayer had had enough. She just got up and left. I think the people remaining in the conference room were a little embarassed."

He has no problem making people look bad, especially if it helps getting attention. Getting push back he then follows up presenting himself as the victim. He has also no problem calling other peoples assholes

"Now I think there's a solution to letting the assholes control the conversation..."

in a piece about discussion culture.

Google for "Dave Winer" returns a lot of stories that are similar. Before accepting Daves view on this, I wish people would do some research into Dave Winer.

No, it's typical for your ego.

"That said, Google Checkout didn't do much in the way of recurring billing."

Your comment helps all those who depend on Google Checkout subscriptions.

"Back then Google cared a little about what I thought"

A typical Dave.

Google is the new Microsoft. Nothing new. Move on.

Haha, we have no accounts to trace, bitcoin works differently! DHS: Shut everything down.
