Yes I saw that too but it doesn't pick up everything.

It begs the game - make the most toxic comment that can fly under the radar. If they started using this in youtube comments, reddit, etc, at least the comment would be more original.
I got a 30% toxicity with:
"I believe the intelligence of climate change deniers is likely to be zero. Furthermore, they have the body oder of a kind of ogre."
Can you do better?
It actually was completely legal because they were (in the fine print) selling support - the software was free, of course.
A lot of bigger companies sell support for OSS products they don't build. This can be legitimate. It just depends on how forthright you are with who built what.
My sense of discovery was meant in the UI sort of respect. When a feature is hidden from the user, that feature might as well not exist.
Bots (and command lines, for that matter) are awful unless you know exactly what they're capable of. There is an extrinsic knowledge you need.
That is, you can't expect a bot to know whatever you throw at it but you're unsure what you /can/ expect it to know.
The problem is that command lines are sort of made for the expert users whereas bots are said to be the opposite.
Where does the belief in the tech come from? Are there any examples of real success with this tech?
Bots can't solve discovery in a novel way without big advances in NLP. There doesn't seem to be a bridge from here to there where it makes sense as a user.
Is this just irrational exuberance?
I'd love to understand why microsoft/google/facebook are all continuing to bet big here.
That's quite an interesting thing to say that is super true. Consumption of too much media is now a sign of low class status.
It's unclear how all the pricing works. Does the normal stripe fee occur for the user of the market place in addition to the marketplace fee or does it only trigger when you the marketplace owner receives the payments? Or does it not trigger at all?

Not to say any of this is in the best interest of the public, it's still nice to get the less talked about perspective.
It's a breath of fresh air even coming off of using python/django for the last few years.
Types are amazing.
What I'd like is a language I can use that has optional typing where all the libraries follow a strict type system but the application I put on top of it doesn't care.
That is the exact opposite of what I get with TypeScript. I'm left with a lot of dynamic mess libraries that I build my typed application on top of.
Steel on top of jello.
And of course that this is criminal, not civil.
Scary.
These are some of the most interesting for what you can accomplish (pathfinding a ton of units at once!).
A great resource for that is this blog:
It has working javascript examples and other related topics like flocking behavior.
Interestingly, services like spotify could have only come about after pressure from piracy because the industry would never have conceded such control and monetary loss unless forced to.
Now comes the next wave: video which popcorntime will help force the path.
It's remarkable that progress can be achieved mostly through breaking regulation theses day - there's something these services have in common with uber and airbnb.
Often, those that stay specialized in one layer of the stack are less helpful because they don't see the forest for the trees.
There's an analogy of specialization causing extinction somewhere in here, too...
I'm sure HN has much more to say in much less time about it.
Types help document code such that I'd prefer an optional typed languages wherein libraries and large code bases are expected to be typed but the glue on top doesn't need to be.
Javascript in particular is not very self documenting but I find typescript much easier to read. It's a real shame it's not often adopted if only to provide IDE hints.
It was a fun little project to get it all working and it was playable but barely.
The added latency makes you feel a little floaty (like a bad VR experience - the kind that make you sick). The witcher looked good when you stood still but not while moving. Ark's performance was abysmal on the aws hardware such that I had to turn down the settings.
Part of the bad experience is likely my ISP's fault - I had spikes of packet loss - though I think this is fairly typical.
The cost is mostly not in the spot instance (that /is/ cheap) but in the storage (EBS) that you need to keep around to mount a spot instance whenever you want to play. The bandwidth cost is non-trivial for the amount of data you're streaming. I had about a 40 euro bill for the month under somewhat light use.
In the end, I can't say I recommend it. Onlive and Gaikai didn't do so well. That might have been their business models but I believe the tech is equally to blame. It's a ridiculously hard thing to get right consistently.
That not to say that it's always like that, but a little optimism goes a long way.
Certainly, though, if you feel like shit, you shouldn't continue. Startups aren't everything if other parts of your life are suffering.
Actually, Scandinavia in general has high quality developers on the cheap compared to the states. This while their quality of life seems on a whole better - seems a win/win to invest in or open satellite offices there :)
Not to say the above is correct - it's no sweat shop and the few outliers like supercell and rovio cannot possibly be there because they threw a lot of labor at it. They're quality game companies that hit the market at the right time and knew their audience enough to keep them.
Although, unstable. The site died twice so far.
I'd be interested to know the problems you're running into right now as it's hard to figure out the bottlenecks of node/socket under this strange kind of load.
Phaser, on the other hand, seems alright for 2D though their docs could be better.
Also according to Estonia's own population estimates, Tallinn is made up predominantly of Estonians (53%) but there is a large Russian minority (38%). Of course you could argue that they aren't registered as residents but from personal experience the stats seem quite accurate.
My motivation is eventual real residency. This just makes it easier.
That's the theory anyway. We'll see if it pans out.
Personally, it's an important step for me in getting a real residency beyond one tied to a company that isn't my own in the EU.
The first thing to know is that you have to physically be there to apply. I went to Estonia and applied at the local police station. I know that sounds weird but thats how you do it. In Estonia, this is where you go to renew driver's licenses and a lot of governmental things.
It was relatively painless. I didn't need to make an appointment. It's just like a DMV. You take a ticket and wait. The woman behind the counter asks some questions, for your passport, biometrics (photo and finger prints) and 50 euros. You then you wait to hear a response within two weeks.
An annoying part is that you have to show up again in two weeks to pick it up in person. Mine is still waiting for me in Estonia as I've not been back yet and I can't have a friend pick it up for me (it has to be me!).
Be prepared to spend two weeks in Tallinn, therefore, which isn't bad as the prices are quite reasonable and the food is good.
The upshot is that as countries get richer, fertility rates decrease. Allowing these poorer countries to lead better lives will paradoxically lower the population increase. If you look at the western world, negating immigration, many countries have a shrinking population.
The more pressing problem of the future, ironically, will be under population - at least if you consider the economic impact and our way of life. Our economy right now is built on so much growth and young labor. What happens without poor countries and when more people are retired than working?

Mobile web usage went from 20% to 14% according to flurry from 2013 to 2014.
That trend could be reversed with a new movement towards the web, but it seems like it would take quite a trend reversal.
We're stuck with apple- and google- based rent seeking platforms.
