And here I got excited for a second and thought they were migrating to true native apps...

Just finished this last night. Great story but about 30 minutes too long.

They just disabled it, so I guess that’s a win...? https://twitter.com/stubhub/status/907384565085257729

Surprisingly long load times...

Does this incorporate any of the work that was done on Otto?

If you enjoy stories like this, and podcasts, check out The Pessimists Archive. Their latest episode was about chess and they have 6 other excellent ones before it. http://pessimists.co/

How do you know it's fake?

It's quite expensive for a comedian to do this on a regular basis though.

Unfortunately everyone who worked at a handful startups has probably worked with someone like that.

Any favorite episode i should start with?

1) Marketplace (regular, morning, mid-day and tech)

2) Planet Money

3) The Daily

4) 50 Things that made the modern world

5) The inquiry

6) Crimetown

7) Criminal

8) Pessimists archive (should be called Luddites archive)

9) More Perfect

10) Science Vs

But what does the Wikipedia article cite? It isn't a source itself...

Those apps are standouts but generally Amazon iOS apps are appalling. Alexa is 78MB of pure UX hell.

Still being developed/maintained? Last push in Oct...

Just watched the new Ultra HD Blu Ray release of The Fifth Element last night and it's still so good. Can't wait for Valerian.

"though even rating agencies have been known to get it wrong from time to time."

Lol! Financial crisis, anyone?

Not like the hazard to both cyclists and homeless aren't real...

In case anyone is wondering what they're up to now:

Snark is so easy but thoughtful analysis is hard. Marketplace businesses necessitate having adequate supply and demand to keep both sides happy. Rarely can you scale them in lock step.

$129 and still not backlit

Hopefully this will allow NFC tap for airplane boarding passes instead of those awful screen scanners, as one example.

Can anyone from New Zealand comment on whether the same problems exist there? It's even more geographically isolated so I'd expect that to be the case, but who knows.

This was released on April 27. Old news.

Not for what seems like an eternity. Autocomplete from my history has replaced them for me. Actually, I do on mobile, just on quickstarter screens.

"Disclaimer: FullCalendar is great for displaying events, but it isn't a complete solution for event content-management. Beyond dragging an event to a different time/day, you cannot change an event's name or other associated data. It is up to you to add this functionality through FullCalendar's event hooks."

Great use of scare quotes!

Already annoyed by the un-quick quick open animation. How do I turn it off?
