This is really cool. We have a few internal automation scripts built with PHP but its a pain to train non-technical users on using the command line. This would make it very easy to create a simple UI and make those tools more accessible, not to mention easier to bundle and distribute.

The feature you are looking for is replication, I have used that in MySQL many times to do the exact thing you are talking about, works great.

Love the concept but I don't think I fully understand it. Am I opening a new credit card account with Final or is it a front end to my existing cards.

If it's the former what kind of card is it (Visa, Mastercard, or something different)?

If you are just doing a single page its not that different, but if you are building a web app and trying to tweak the CSS inside a modal or something that isn't there on page load it makes a difference. Instead of refresh -> click button to show modal again, it lets you see the changes as you make them.

I updated a handful of machines running an Amazon Linux AMI this morning and they passed the standard echo test after sudo yum update

They have also seen a 78% increase in stock price over the past year so maybe using Facebook shareholders as an example isn't the best way to make your point

Take a look at the historical returns of the stock market. Using the S&P 500 as an index, if you did the same in 2007 riding through 2008 you would have lost 37% of your money.

You could very well continue to ride the wave up, but there is a non-zero risk that it all comes crashing back down again, and that needs to be considered in your equation.

> There is nothing "Sublime-like" about a sidebar, TextMate had this earlier, other editors too.

I don't understand why every discussion like this devolves into a discussion over who did something first. It's completely irrelevant to the point. The quote you pulled says nothing about Sublime being the only editor to have a sidebar, or Sublime being the first editor to have a sidebar. It says that Sublime has a file sidebar, and this project has a file sidebar that is like Sublime. That is pretty basic statement of fact, your comments about other editors having sidebars is a complete non sequitur.

Do you have an actual suggestion about what should have been done differently or are you just trolling people who have a deadly virus?

Anyone here using the developer beta? Is it stable enough to use day to day?

That would be only 7 employees per company on average. I'm sure there are a lot that never got past the 1-2 range but there are also Dropbox and AirBnb on the other end. Those two combined have around 2,000 employees according to Crunchbase.

Weird title, seeing as how the article states that bigger roads do not make traffic worse, it stays the same:

>> New roads will create new drivers, resulting in the intensity of traffic staying the same

Couldn't you say the same thing about downloading and running any installer from the internet? There is nothing special about PHP that makes this insecure, the exact same attack you describe could be done when you are downloading a Windows installer executable from a browser and double clicking it.

You answered your own question, yes eventually you have to make money. You just have a different definition of eventually than VCs do.

Probably because their core competency is allowing people to make restaurant reservations, which they happen to be really good at, not Android app design, which just has to be good enough enable the former.

Replace "labels" with "networks," and "Spotify" with "Hulu," and we've read this story 100 times. It hasn't really ever worked out for them.

Thats less than half of the equation. They still have to get the signal to a transcoder, transcode the stream, store it on a "personal DVR" for each customer, and then stream it to you.

Reading that makes me wonder how they actually make any money. $8 a month per subscriber seems pretty low for the hardware and bandwidth involved per stream.

Even if you count on only a certain percentage of people watching at any given time you need to account for the high volume events where 80% of your customer base would be watching the Super Bowl for example.

The more I think about it the more it seems like the company's purpose is more about forcing this court case than actually building a sustainable business.

Original title of this submission "Dropbox's Condoleezza Rice advocating for warrantless NSA surveillance" is more than a little dishonest.

The article is talking about statements she made on TV in 2005. That is bad enough, I don't understand why you feel the need to make it seem like she is going to the White House today in a Dropbox t-shirt advocating for NSA surveillance.

The question I would try and answer if I were in your shoes is the following:

Does he want me to leave the company or does he want me to stop writing production code for the product?

If its the first one, there is likely a personal issue between the two of you that needs to be resolved one way or another.

If you think the second option is what he is really trying to communicate, then I would look for other opportunities to contribute to the company. It sucks to grasp your own limitations and admit that you might not be a good enough coder to contribute to the product at this point, but this is a critical time for the future of the product. Any technical debt acquired at this phase of development is going to be very costly to pay off later since you are developing the core of the system.

However, you are a founder of the company, and I am assuming very passionate about the company's mission as well as financially motivated to see this thing through. There are tons of jobs that will need to be done as you guys grow, and each one of those is an opportunity for you to contribute above and beyond what a new hire off the street could accomplish. A lot of those jobs can also take advantage of your coding skills to either automate processes or utilize your deeper understanding of how the product works to better support it.

This is of course assuming that you guys have the cash in the bank to pay you for this work, if that is not the case then the situation is a little trickier and you will have to explore other options.

I use FollowUpThen - https://www.followupthen.com/

It does a lot of stuff, but I have it email me every Thursday to remind me to take the trash to the curb. Its just an email, not a calendar alert, but it keeps the clutter off the calendar and I usually see an email within a couple hours anyway.

That's what it can lift, not what it can hold. In your scenario someone would have to sit on the desk and then try and raise it.

A few years is an eternity, its not like they have to keep burning through $100m a year until they either "win" or run out of cash, they could easily scale back on their customer acquisition spend and extend their timeline.

I think their strategy is very aggressive but far from all-in

A buffer overflow is like filling your gas tank with a burning match on the ground below the fill nozzle. If you put too much gas in the tank it overflows and your car explodes.

The answer call screen that only requires a tap and not a swipe is only used when the phone is unlocked, which is how it worked in 7.0 as well. A locked phone still requires a swipe to answer the call

That is only if the FBI holds onto them forever. However, unless something has changed, I was under the impression that they plan on auctioning them off just like any other seized asset

Not sure if its the same one as the video you are referring to but here is a game that does exactly that.

So how do you define "fair share" if it is not defined by following the tax laws as written?

So your theory is that Bezos spent $250 million of his own money to buy the Washington Post so that he could get more coverage of Amazon in one newspaper?
