GP was talking about this Spring: https://spring.io/ not the Rails preloader...

You may be right, still, modern Java does have some excellent concurrency libs, like Akka https://akka.io

Present-day US should care, and they should do something about it. The mines they layed 50 years ago still kill people today.

I'm not sure that would qualify as 'bootstrapped'.

Weird, I dont see any scripts other than disqus and google analytics.

Arguably everyone interested in fashion could be interested in an app like this.

Yes. We're talking fashion, so a pretty big market.

That article is about Siri web search.

I thought that was Chrome :)

So if Google stopped paying Apple, what would they do? Switch to Bing? I'm sure their users would love that </s>

It's obviously measured in km/h with h=1

If you want a fair comparison, do GDP vs value produced by that investment fund in a year.

Hyperbolic comparisons like these are very off-putting for me too, but I see them everywhere, presumably "for effect". The effect in this instance is that I stopped reading.

You seem to miss two important points: facebook provides a) convenience (most people can't be expected to find a web hoster to "share their opinion with the world", especially in the age of social networks) and b) enormous reach

Have you read the article? They collect cell tower info, you can't fool that with a VPN...

I soon have to buy a new (smart)phone. Looks like this might just be the straw that pushes me over to iPhone.

> If you're concerned about this level of location tracking, don't carry a cell phone at all.

This seems to be implying that this level of tracking is expected, or required. It's not. Not by Google anyway, which doesn't need and should never access this information.

Yes, Alan Watts comes to mind in the context of Zen and dish washing :)

Imagine googling for stuff about this project... (issues, bugs, tutorials etc) Must be a nightmare, with such a generic name

This comment isn't very helpful.

Still, it should be noted that Fowler warns that CRQS adds significant complexity and advises great caution about using it. See https://martinfowler.com/bliki/CQRS.html

The article summarized: "NK has EMP!!!1 Buy my book!"

> Oh wait, then you forgot your phone and had to go all the way back up to get it

Wow, the very definition of 1st world problems right there :D

"Well, of course we're not reading your emails. We're just inspecting the headers and blocking all emails from `@competitor.com`"

Indeed, at least for now.

Still, there's a difference between actively helping your customers check the competition and actively blocking them.

After all, perfect information is a condition of perfect competition (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_competition)

> " request access to a private network, then request data through the Amazon router (Inspected/Firewalled by default). It's Amazon's prerogative to block ports or IPs at their discretion as every router or VPN does."

So you're basically saying that if I'm using Starbucks' WiFi it's surely their prerogative to read my emails or whatnot ("inspect" my traffic)

Don't know why I was downvoted. For reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_persistent_connection#Use...

The limit applies only to persistent connections.

That's incorrect. Browsers limit request to 8 req/domain at the same time.

Interestingly, a few days ago Google Authenticator asked me if I wanted to switch to a simple confirmation (instead of manually entering the 2FA token).
