Folks mentioned the time lost. Honestly, if you keep journals of your time in Azeroth, you'll see that they rival any life story. I think the memories gained far outweigh anything "real." I think there are a few fiction writers that owe a few plot twists to what's happened in their game play.
Yes, the protocol is revolutionary. I can put data into the blockchain that nobody can censor: http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/4315/how-can-i-in... It would be possible to create an image service free of Instagram's tyranny via the blockchain.
I'm just one guy that Zach really inspired. Thanks for that talk you gave on Github. It really inspired me and made me bring what's great in Github into my work and everyday life. I really liked the part of the talk on remote teams.
I liked how you showed how your Instagram bio shows up on search. That was the most useful part for me. What big data companies would you work with to better market your Instagram?
At first I thought the piece would be an ironic how-to on gentrification, but instead it is a play on the word, "art." A certain building from New York's pre-gentification era in Soho has become art because of gentrification.
Ya, I agree with extracting useful things from your experience. It seems the OP fails to do so by realizing that having extremely cheap and available resources for getting a product to market is historically rare and also constitutes a golden age.
This is a great how to article on remote management. The tools he lists are all there. The author mentions Skype, Slack, G+ Hangouts, and then surprisingly WordPress. Would the author care to discuss how he specifically has used WordPress to remote manage a team? I think the issue is that most managers don't want to remote manage which makes me wonder, "Why?"
The last time a communist country did a hack like this was during the Cold War. The hackers were coke addicted West Berliners paid off by the KGB to infiltrate high value and key .mil servers. My guess is that this time it is no different. Read Stoll's The Cuckoo's Egg and you'll see how very little for geopolitics of these attacks have changed.
Hi, don't worry, I'm not going to jump off the bridge. I just want to know the theoretical limits of coding friendship. Despite all this "social" technology, more people claim they are more lonely than ever. This looks like a market opportunity. Once again: Can friendship be coded?
There's a cost to open sourcing software. I like that the OP pointed that there was software that was sub-licensed and needed to be excised. Netscape took close to a year to open source their browser as Firefox using every significant company resource.
I totally agree. Replace "non-comformist" and "conformist" in this paper with "predator" and "prey," and you can speculate on some more interesting biological ideas.
Section IV.A.18 shows an extremely technically versed lawyer that I hope one day becomes a judge. Joshua Horowitz was able to find a contradiction in the SAs testimony based on nginx's configuration.
I had something like this on my back burner for years called Sitebeagle. It's command-line only. Glad these guys took the initiative to build something way more robust. It'll be great for tracking 1 day deals, seeing if somebody's logged in somewhere, and getting alerts for when band tickets go on sale. The possibilities are endless.
Honestly, I don't see how ridesharing is like stealing music. The ridesharing services are all competing fairly for riders except for Ubers underhanded tactics. The medallions capped the number of taxis so that cabbies could make a fair living, but this created a false scarcity. Market forces were legally not allowed to create more drivers. Yes, I agree that the complaint should be with cities that required medallions in the first place. I disagree with you that the system was ever functional. Anybody from the 1990s in San Francisco remembers 90 minute waits for taxis that were crappy. Uber is way better, and shouldn't have to resort to underhanded tactics to compete.
There are bullet-ridden and blood-stained flags in San Francisco's City Hall that beg to differ and were carried by this city's sons to different wars and conflicts. I cried when I first saw them.
The part where they don't help you use the bathroom and you defecate on yourself in a con-air. This is both cruel and unusual, and a psychological pain.
I always recommend this book to people that feel they're about to be canned, or who were canned but can't figure out why. It seems you know the cause when you wrote:
"I stirred the pot on the distinction between corporate and startup marketing to be sure."
Well, if you Google around, you get Peter Delahunty. It looks like he's gone from being a CTO at a few places (including 99dresses) to just working under a CTO. It looks like his strategy didn't pay off.
The prices seem really reasonable and a steal if I was still in an enterprise environment. I'm not maintaining any prod servers right now, but $4.99 would be a sweet spot if I had a few hobby servers on the Internet that I was doing devops for.
