As someone who lives in South Florida it's bad enough we have to deal with Rick Scott denying rising sea tides in his own back yard.

Now we're up against a POTUS who denies the disaster we will face in twenty years yet owns property in the afflicted area (North Miami Beach - Trump Towers). As I watch the city raise the sidewalks and roads by a foot I'm astounded. I've lived here for three years and since I got here every major roadway has been under construction - installing pumps to return flood water back to the bay. When I first arrived, you couldn't cross the street without steeping ankle deep into water and it's getting better. But pumps were only installed in key areas that affected the Mayor's and his friends' commercial properties.

I cannot buy property here because to do so would be a huge mistake considering what is now beach front will be underwater unless something is done about it.

Everything causes cancer with enough dosage.

Isn't the whole point of Slack to reduce friction and make teamwork easier? The name is Slack after all :)

IRC in it's heyday was alright but I think Discord has replaced it's function. The last few encounters I have had with IRC have been negative because of the "in-group" being unwelcoming.

For mixed teams, where tech and non-tech types interact - this is brilliant.

Each channel has a purpose, but threads allow more efficient cross-talk. For example I work with another team in a different channel because our projects use the same language. Sometimes our work collides as we work with the same libraries. We lose track of details between repos and channels frequently because we operate parallel but separate.

Threads will allow us to cross-talk about issues that affect both projects without having to create a new channel for each issue. This also helps one off discussions where two or three people use a public channel when the topic should be private. Ultimately, features like these matter mostly in use and I think this implementation is great for my teams.

In my opinion, they've already violated the trust of publishers. Take Google Lyrics for example:

http://phandroid.com/2014/12/31/google-lyrics-search/

In all fairness, lyric sites were terrible. Slow, riddled with ads, and sometimes incorrect. While Google's lyrics are a great service to the user, they're at the top of search and displayed inline. There's no reason to go to lyric sites anymore.

My biggest fear is Structured Data and AMP. With Structure Data, you volunteer your most valuable data in a format Google can easily consume and adapt to its own needs - all so you can get better page rankings. When Google introduces its own service in the same market - just like lyrics - you're effectively cut off from your audience. And with AMP, you don't have to wait for Google to siphon your traffic - you're volunteering.

I'm glad AMP's weaknesses are finally gaining attention and making their rounds. Google should not be allowed to steal publishers' traffic and strong-arm them into going along with it.

1. Do something constructive:

Clean the dishes, do the laundry, or vacuum.

2. Do something destructive:

Play a video game, break an egg and cook an omlette.

3. Do something connective:

Talk to a friend, call a relative, or join a chat room.

It does siphon traffic by serving it from google.com, and adding a frame to the top that when clicked will take you back to Google.com. When you swipe left or right, it takes you to other AMP links from different results.

AMP links are given priority in search.

Nobody is particularly against having a site that loads quickly. The problem is AMP is a double-edged sword and its implementation siphons traffic from sites and hurts publishers.

AMP is devastating blow to Publishers because not only does it marks Google's intent to steal away traffic, but also punish publishers for not allowing that to happen.

What choice do you have? Reject traffic from Google? Every time I have been to an AMP-enabled page it's been an awful experience and unwanted. But you don't "search" for something you "Google" it.

> but it's in things that aren't necessarily obvious to the end user until there's decent levels of adoption by developers

Which ironically doesn't happen until browsers agree on innovation.

Love the idea of symbols in any language but they really should be implemented as syntactical not functional. Ruby does this well.

What is there to gain by changing the name?

ZenHub is nice but it's also overwhelming with information that's not pertinent or contextual.

Can think of three easy reasons why they missed their goals:

1. Phones are reaching their peak hardware and people are upgrading less.

2. New customers refusing to buy in a fragmented ecosystem where it no longer "just works" and you need dongles on top of dongles to use your accessories.

3. Loyal customers are jumping ship for Windows and Hackintosh for better hardware.

When the original Indiegogo campaign launched I was sold, and it has been a pleasant ride since. I have funded a couple crowd-source campaigns, and several have been alarmingly stale in their updates - while the Daskeyboard team has provided routine updates, previews, and expectations.

My experience with Generators have been mostly with Redux/Saga, and thus I am now of the opinion that they are the superior choice for asynchronous operations for the sole benefit of testing. With Promises you can test the value and the state.

Generators let you test any yield. So you can test not only the operations but the side effects as well.

He's an underdog to the public. A minority and perceived as a business maverick that also cares about the environment. You would group Cook with Musk and Mayer long before you would group him with the CEO of Exxon Mobil.

Apple's philanthropic and environmental toting has largely surpassed their hardware innovation under Cook's direction. Yet one has to wonder - if these environmental footprint reductions costed more money than they saved - would Apple risk their profits to save the environment?

That fine line between Courage and Cowardice. Enough courage to make you buy a product (bluetooth headphones) to fully make use of the phone that most of us upgrade, but not enough courage to use it with the personal computer that only some of us upgrade.

Tim Cook is to Apple as Melissa Mayer was to Yahoo. An underdog and perceived as a business maverick that cares about the environment and philanthropy. We love them in movies, literature, and politics - because they give us a sense that we can do anything if we rise above.

But what we have now is a fragmented ecosystem of Apple Products that no longer "just work" and even worse, fit together like square pegs in a round hole. They call it "courage" but really it's lack of a cohesive vision and borderline greed to pull as much money from customers.

Clinton also lost 2 million democratic votes that switched to third party compared to the 2012 election so let's not pretend that fake news is her downfall, considering it was the media bias that gave her an edge in the primaries.

That's very cool. Could you elaborate on the method in which the key accepts the challenge? I was under the impression that a Yubikey only acted as a USB keyboard - which ensured it's security by isolation.

It has two modes. If you short press it, it will generate a one time password. A long press will output a static password. Both modes can be configured optionally.

I've had mine for close to a year now, and for a while it was on my keychain daily. It has held up well!

> no publishers left

They become the publisher. In the grand scheme, this is a misguided effort that will further monopolize publishing.

> collateral damage dealt to some publishers is totally worth it.

Said a clown before the rodeo.

The collateral damage is putting small independent publishers out of business and reinforcing monopolies in publishing. If you think tracking is going to be less pervasive by knocking down the little guys, you are sorely mistaken.

When all that's left is Reddit, Google, and Facebook - the collateral damage is the same thing you're trying to protect.

It looks nice and all, but Razer's customer support and driver software is abysmal - that cannot be overlooked.

That's like harming the Pope to get back at God.

AdNauseum doesn't hurt advertising networks, it hurts publishers. When they get banned for click fraud, the network keeps the money.

Because Google is not "the man" in this scenario that you're sticking it to - it's the website owner whose content you're consuming. Google gets paid either way, and AdNauseam is pennies on their dollar. Webmaster however, depend on advertising revenue to keep publishing.
