I think it's too sad.

I find that none of the drawn emoticons I see ever really depict what I mean by :/ It's not a sad face as in that set. It's like "huh" or "what" or "ok", neither sad nor happy, it's puzzlement, filler, sometimes a "uhhh". Maybe that's just me though.

If it's possible why hasn't anyone implemented such a thing? I'd like to implement such a thing and I wouldn't know where to start, but I would with HLS. This is the 1990's all over again. Different browsers supporting different standards, different video encodings, different JavaScript features, sometimes, when I'm having a spell, I'm not so sure competition is actually all that great anymore.

And no you cannot stream with webrtc without building a complicated back end webrtc MCU implementation which requires significant engineering and is not at all supported by the creators of webrtc who are focused on peer to peer inside browsers.

I think HLS is pretty awesome and this hasn't anything to do with HTML5 as what Chrome supports doesn't allow for live streaming, which is why sites like Twitch still use flash for Chrome. Chrome should support HLS, but they aren't going to for anything but Android, so flash it is for the foreseeable future. If anyone knows why or where I am mistaken I would like to know.

It's our home, not an investment, and where would we live if we sold?

As someone who lives and works in the bay area, you cannot buy a house with a software engineer's salary, not unless it is a very poor neighborhood, in which case you're contributing to gentrification, or you want to drive 2 hours from Pleasanton. I say that as a software engineer home owner who bought a house before the prices sky rocketed again in 2011. I wouldn't be able to afford my own house right now.

but Satoshi had good enough opsec to not leak anything interesting from the account.

Except is St Louis Missouri street address and telephone number.

Individuals have a lot of sway in Hollywood. It's all star power. Money and talent flock to the stars, and by stars I include producers, writers and directors in addition to actors and actresses. They make money and are prestigious to work with, especially if the movie is successful. In addition to individual behavior there are also the various unions like the Writers Guild of America, the Screen Actors Guild, the Directors Guild of America and organizations like the MPAA and AMPAS and in television ATAS which all wield considerable influence and money. Though it is TV and not movies, Netflix succeeded because it played by their rules.

You can't just disrupt this because it's more than wealth, it's a culture that has been around many generations now and created film making what it is today. There's an incredible gravitational well that sucks all the incredible skill and talent found in the world right into Hollywood. It's not going anywhere.

I think in the context, a person with an idea and no code, it does come of a bit silly to want to sign an NDA. I'm not sure why a consulting company works with such people. I'm guessing they cater to people with ideas who have too much money?

Reverting a merge is totally OK if you kept your history clean and rebased the branch you're merging into to get updates instead of merging it into your branch.

Like if you created a new branch from master and you have been merging master into your branch to get updates in master, once you merge your branch into master you cannot revert this merge because the act of merging master into your branch changed which branch owned commits.

If you rebased master into your branch instead everything will be fine. If you merge your branch into master, reverting that merge will simply undo the merge as you expected.

Yeah wow, Skipper is holding on to a legacy business that going to get disrupted from top to bottom. How do they not see that incredibly expensive cable subscriptions that provide scheduled broadcasts with filled with patronizing advertisements is somehow better than something like Netflix, YouTube or LiveStream?

I don't understand why older people hang on to less optimal way of doing things? I hope I never do this. Being able to watch content at any time you want is better than having to schedule your time around broadcasts. No advertisements is better than having to endure advertisement breaks in the middle of a show.

Same with newspapers. You can't share newspaper content easily. You can't click on a word and Google it or look up information about Ukraine's president while reading the news paper. Newspapers take up space in your house and unread newspapers are a huge waste. I get some people like distraction free reading, without a glaring bright screen so the case here isn't as clear cut as with a TV, but the point is valid.

Older people, by virtue of having been around longer should be more capable of recognizing the pattern of new innovation leading to improvements, and not get stuck. I just don't get it, and I hope this doesn't happen to me, I'm already nearly in my 40's so we'll see.

Once you read the book, the docs and have built something I recommend checking out the source code too. It's very readable.

https://github.com/meteor/meteor

I've checked out the packages, the ddp, the binary json stuff, etc it's all in there. Except for all the var self = this; stuff, I quite like it. They have really smart people over there.

The comments here are ignoring the jobs this brings into Nevada. It's like an investment. Tesla gets a tax break because it will provide jobs. The jobs create economic stimulus. People spend more money, leads to economic growth, this is not corruption, this is competing for companies to bring jobs into the state. There is no evidence of personal financial gain for the officials who got this deal to be made. In the absence of evidence, all you have is speculation, based on a misunderstanding of how tax breaks for jobs usually work. So Tesla building this plant is a good thing for Nevada.

There is no mention of patents anywhere in the post. This has nothing to do with patents.

Does this include Apple?

$80K is not so much at it might seem when you're living in the Bay Area. Rent for a small apartment $24K a year living outside of San Francisco, and up to $30K+ inside the city. Everything is very expensive. When I lived in another city I could get by at $500 a month for a similar apartment.

I was just starting to really like Twitter. Is it really the end? I have my doubts. Something is going to have replace it first, and it wont be Facebook since Facebook has conflicts family and private groups with public sharing.

The kinds of conversations I have seen on Quora and arguments about god and other things have led me to believe it's already kind of overrun with silliness.

This has some more information:

I don't have good answers for you, but discrimination isn't always done intentionally. Maybe more often than not it's ignorance or simply institutional. I am also a white male. It took a long time for me to figure out my own biases and honestly I am still learning about them. I recommend this movie:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0484384/ (The Color of Fear)

There are pieces of it on YouTube apparently:

I once decided to investigate racism more. In addition to reading academic materials I also tried reading magazines intended for black women and found a section on how not to scare your white boss with your hair. There was all kinds of stuff like that, and it was both shocking and depressing. I just had no idea.

This is awesome. A diversity of people will bring a diversity of ideas. You can find highly intelligent, driven people from all walks of life, it's a shame that there's a process broken in self-selection for software engineering and bay area startups. Although it's probably not just diverse self-selection that needs work, I imagine there's probably forms of discrimination and roadblocks that privileged classes of the majority don't even recognize.

They should share some analytics on this and see if this actually leads to more interest in development. That would be pretty exciting if true. I'd hope maybe others do this too. It would be a great way to reach out and get new people into development.

I was the person that initiated using the closure library for a team back in 2010. It took ages to release products using it, someone called it the "write more, do less" library and I have regretted the decision ever since, especially when Google came out with Angular which felt like a total slap in the face. Closure Library had half hearted support, and even teams inside Google hated it, which is why Angular probably came about. It felt like a slap because people that bet on Google supporting Closure couldn't just stop using it and start using Angular.

Yes you can use parts of Angular with React, I don't think that's optimal, but you can do it.

And inline JSX instead of separate template files. React is just very good at turning state into DOM elements.

it would need something far superior with a lot of traction to displace it.

Personally, I have found react.js to be much better than Angular but in any case I found your comment to be filled with a heavy use of unwarranted intensifiers ("far superior") and some amount of fortune telling.

Front-end development is a fast moving field, and the new ECMAScript 6 changes, as well as further browser updates, will probably shake up the scene, but it's hard to predict what will happen. I doubt that we'll reach a point of stability any time soon where you didn't have to throw out at least some decent amount of code after 5 or 6 years due to library changes and browser updates.

Better and it doesn't have a link bait title.

one that merits spending vast sums of money on.

It's not a lot of money actually, it's just life insurance, a portion of which is allocated to Alcor in case cyropreservation is possible after death. Maybe $20 a month or something depending on your age when you got the policy, plus an annual fee that is mostly deductible as a charitable donation. I consider this fee donating to science, since Alcor actually does good science and publishes research papers. So $20 and a dream and maybe you get to try again.

It's not a risk free investment by any means, but it doesn't require heaps of denial involving topics of science like evolution, intolerance of others, or any dogma. If you want to think cryopreservation is like a religion by all means do, but you're not convincing me.
