coev··on Measuring how bad Twitter is
A celeb/politician/etc's popularity is what brings regular people to twitter. To charge the celeb would be counterproductive and probably move them over to a competitor for good.
coev··on Search Ads
> What distributor of software ever charged 50%? Retailers of CD-ROM games (when they were a thing) and video games do not charge that kind of markup.

The mobile carriers often charged upwards of that rate to game publishers.

coev··on BlackBerry confirms it will end in-house hardware development

If a ~7 hour drive from the beach is considered "East Coast" then Vegas is prime waterfront real estate.
coev··on Less stress, more productivity: working fewer hours is good for you and your boss
I always ask what the typical workday is like for someone in my position, preferably getting the answer _from_ someone in a similar position. It's never failed and in addition to getting the hours answered, it gives you insight into other practices you may like/dislike such as standups and number of meetings in the average day.
coev··on Oracle and the fall of Java EE
Look into Scala and Futures, very similar.

In the late 90s there were a lot of hucksters trying to get in on the new Internet trend, there were lots of bad companies then too.
coev··on Social Mobility May Suffer as Income Fails to Keep Pace with Housing Costs
This is area-specific. For example, in Florida (where I've bought/sold 4 houses over the years) property taxes tend to be reassessed to very close to purchase price upon sale, because due to homestead exemptions the taxes haven't kept up with home price inflation. I believe similar happens in California.
coev··on Graphing when your Facebook friends are awake
If the graph renders to canvas, you can get a data url for the image and send that to a server for decoding/storage.

The stock picture looks like a character from the HBO show "Silicon Valley" without the facial hair: http://i.ytimg.com/vi/dkrzZ8-gfn0/maxresdefault.jpg
coev··on The Final ES2015 (ES6) Draft
Also: "this" is bound for you in fat arrow functions without having to resort to function.prototype.bind or "var that = this;" trickery. That's an issue I've seen bite many people before and it'll be nice to have an easy way to avoid that.
coev··on The cost of loyalty
This does vary according to location (as the article says), but I've used cabs, Uber and Lyft in SF. I prefer Uber and Lyft by far over the standard cab services. The cars and drivers are generally nicer. I don't really have a preference for Uber vs Lyft and tend to go with the cheaper/more convenient option in the moment. However, I do find that Lyft drivers are generally more social while Uber drivers will let you keep to yourself more easily, so I also book based on mood sometimes.
coev··on Socket.io 1.1.0 released
Yes, native. Android's webview was based on the old Android Browser until KitKat/4.4 when it switched to using Chrome to render.
