> I find the best thing is this new instant messenger trend... not because I like being pestered but because I can turn off the notifications and then go and check it when i'm done on my current chunk of thinking.

you mean email? :-p

What makes me laugh is the silent burst from 0 to 60 of my Zero while your still waiting for the first roar. Snarky aside are you in it for the acceleration? If you are the electric is something you might want to try.

I couldn’t help but think of the book “The Water Knife”. In the book it is the the Chinese that build massive liveable spaces that recycle the water and purify the air. Just a small step in that direction.

everything comes back around. i worked in a startup in 2002 and we developed a mesh network street light controller. https://web.archive.org/web/20020605214609/http://www.telemi...

Humans can't multitask regardless of their generation

Same here despite listing that I was willing to relocate on my own dime. Then I relocated took a job at Apple and every big name wanted to interview me. Got job offers at two other big tech names while I was in CA. until I worked in the valley I apparently wasn't smart enough despite 20 plus years experience outside CA. there is a bias. it is real and speaks badly of the valley.

Well I wasn't commenting on age of particular projects. I had not heard of Beego so now I still feel there is a bit of over growth. Leads to confusion over what to use when you do want better routing which I think is pretty much every project. Perhaps routing will continue to improve in the standard library such that it does not feel like I need to pick a package or roll my own.

Starting to feel like Go is suffering from a glut of web frameworks.

I have to watch a video that then tells me to write everything down? Sorry I couldn't resist. I believe and practice that as much as I can because it makes things easier regardless.

Honestly he is not evil but he is unstable and childish. We should not normalize anything he says. It is dangerous to allow hime to be normalized. He is not normal and a POTUS that spends time on his old reality TV show, lying about illegal voting, etc. is not acceptable.

Again a few examples that are often used to justify calling 7 million people lazy. If the visas are being used for for cash register and pumping gas jobs (how many states pump gas for you?) then this might make some sense but these are just isolated events and fit a narrative convenient to corporations to justify many practices that are mainly beneficial to the corporation.

"puppets of the Democratic Party"

Please that is the problem here. Constant looking for sides and making false statements while pretending to be the "one" that knows the truth in comments.

The Apple Pay is fantastic when you are on a motorcycle and pull up to the pump. Quick responses to texts and heart rate tracking making a smart watch a pretty good but yes expensive gadget. So many will find it useless but many find a lot of extra features on smart phones useless as well.

I noticed it didn't deliver a holiday fruit cake. Probably due to the weight limit. Logistics will get better but without some weight increase this is going to be a long way off from useful.

Well that is the worst place ever to work.

Water? Nation has natural resources. Valley does not.

Yes because we all want to relive the glory days of being a poor student. Will the tradeoff include a divorce and place to stay for the kids?

But still loses money

Yes they are trying to create more cheap labor and yes they are trying to eliminate well paying programming jobs. This has been the goal of business from the start not just for programming. I would love to see more cheap labor domestically. I'm tired of work being shipped offshore to come back broken and barely functional simply because it is cheaper. At least maybe we could ship it around the country. Business will continue to try and assembly line all processes including programming. I've had to learn to live with that and I think we all will have to as well.

We have an opportunity to elect the first women as President of the United States I hope we aren't going to pick on small things and ignore that opportunity. Unless she is proven to be any different than any previous President your choices are elect the first women as President or Trump. You decide.

And if the modem is not available?

So now I just flat out say what my jump-number is. Any answer other than "yeah, we can work with that" is a reason to end the conversation and save everybody's time.

Can't upvote that enough! I've been doing this for years. I don't have time to waste and if they won't talk the numbers there is no point in having the conversation. Statements like "we are competitive" or my other favorite "can you send us proof of your current salary" are hilarious. The proof is my favorite. What is the point of that? If I won't talk to you for less than x dollars there is no value in proving what I currently make.

I agree. Maybe it should read "unlike Apple, Microsoft, Samsung, X, Y, Z, CHIP has both open-source software..."

I think you are missing the entire picture. I have to agree that it is not a big enough cost difference because if you go spend the $9 and then try and use it without $100 more in equipment or already existing computer you will be disappointed. So it simply is not going to spur that much more interest.

"But let's not assume we are knights in shining armour either."

That wasn't implied

"I am also weirded out by the "hunter" metaphor. The people fighting income inequality are not predators out to get pg's billions, they are working class people who can't afford healthcare or to send their kids to college."

+1 on that alone. I was concerned that this was completely misunderstanding those that understand the income inequality issue.

If that were all that happened it would be great. But automation leaves a lot of people off the payrolls without jobs and if those jobs are paying less then less expensive food is not less expensive. And incomes have dropped more than inflation in most cases for the poor which means it is not cheaper for those less able to afford it. Complicated problems are not whisked away with making things less expensive = benefit everyone.

Wonder when Amazon will just make this easier for everyone. They already have if it just moves out of beta: https://aws.amazon.com/iot/button/

And yet everyone wonders why many choose to commute and not live in a crowded city or next to a freeway. The Bay Area is extremely noisy with most housing near major transit. Definitely a growing market for abatement services.

Exactly. "At one point, Uber sent five representatives to a meeting with members of the insurance industry to negotiate language in the bill"

Just makes you feel warm and fuzzy doesn't it?
