Regardless of the platform, if you are considering direct real estate investment (versus a REIT), the most important thing you can do is educate yourself. Direct real estate investing can get very complicated very quickly: You have to potentially evaluate the sponsor/real estate company, the surrounding market, the assumptions being made that lead to the target returns, etc. Unfortunately, most "educational" material you find is really focused on the idea of "getting rich quick" versus real education. I'll shamelessly plug our podcast (https://www.realcrowd.com/blog/tags/podcast/). While we are a direct marketplace, we strive to make our educational material, including our podcast unbiased education and not a commercial for our platform. We have received a lot of great feedback.

Bootstrap 4 Beta 2 9 years ago

You aren't wrong. I will say I do still find myself surprised that many sites don't test cross browser and I find that these frameworks can alleviate that.

Is it wrong that I completely stopped reading after the first line:

"Humans have always noticed owls."

And internally I went "Really. 'Always'?!?"

"Release Candidate"...that is a candidate for release. first words of article "It’s not yet stable...". Not trying to troll, but come on

I think you should leave the business. You have made a decision which could irreparably harm it. If both you and the girlfriend truly care about the business, you'll both sign "i won't sue" resignations and do whatever your friend needs to help the transition.

There is no trust in the co-founder relationship now and you've made bad decisions for the company. I do no think you can successfully carry on especially if this is a small company.

As for your friendship, I can only wish you luck. I don't believe I could accept this kind of betrayal but everyone is different.

I just want some computer company to focus on power users. I know its a relatively smaller market, but if someone (Apple, Dell, Lenovo, etc.) focused on high quality hardware and software that "just worked" for power users and less focused on the consumer-y features, that would be awesome. Macs have a great build quality but the OS seems less focused on improving the experience than assimilating you into their ecosystem (this is true for Microsoft and Google as well). Every new feature involves creating an account to more tightly couple you to the respective company. I get this strategy but would love to see someone concentrating more on the overall experience than locking me into _their_ world.

I played with SMS, SMS reply, and MMS. All worked well and as expected (I used a Google-Voice account for testing). Probably one of the easiest out-of-band login solutions I've used. For SMS a "link-or-reply" feature would be nice. Depending on the particular use-case it might be easier for me to press a link in the message versus typing something. Also perhaps eventually an app (swiping notification is enough to complete login)

I think the eventual solution will be a software subscription fee that ends up going to the carriers. They are motivated to get people to upgrade their phones right now, and unless they are legally obligated or financially compensated, I doubt they will change their practices to enable people keeping their phones.

I'm unfamilar with Backbone.js's implementation, but AngularJS checks to see if the current browser supports the new html5 "input" event. If it does, that is the event it listens on. The plugins however don't necessarily fire this event, instead using the older "change" event. It could be similar to that.

I can't speak with relation to reactive because I honestly don't have any experience with it. I have another tab open with you link though and look forward to reading about it. As for Angular, as I mentioned in the blog, by its very design it seems to guide you into making the _right_ decision. Its been the easiest framework I've found to keep a decent amount of separation between the view and controller logic. The binding-bits can reside in the directives. With the right approach, it is very easy to unit-test as well as A-B Test by easy swapping out views that are decorated. I definitely seed your point though that the mark-up can become a bit attribute-heavy.

I think this argument is similar to the argument of general privacy. Read receipts are potentially information being transmitted without your consent, though its metadata that _should_ have not direct effect on you. The same could be said for the NSA tapping your phone. They are merely observing and therefore shouldn't be affecting anything. I.E. if you aren't doing anything wrong what do you have to worry. In the same vein, if someone sees that you read something and you don't respond, if you don't believe that to be wrong, what do you have to worry. I don't fully agree with the position, but there is something to be said about feeling comfortable with your actions regardless of how others perceive them.

I have been primarily a Microsoft developer of over 10 years. They have delivered some great stuff...and not so great stuff. I understand the communities trepidation to give any validity to their efforts, but as a result they miss out on some interesting products and features.

I am unsure if the comparison to Snowden and Manning is valid. As the article states Manning was/is in the military which basically has its own legal system. Beyond that, if the act of civil disobedience is reliant on there being minimal consequence, isn't that the issue? If something is important, isn't the point that it is worth the risk? I cannot claim to known Snowden's motivations, but accepting the consequences of one's actions seems an important component of civil disobedience.
