No, instead they have a dangerous business model where they force their drivers to get to a location in 30 minutes or less causing them to weave in and out of traffic and crash in hopes of getting a tip. Much better than bottle pissing.
Why would you cancel your Prime Subscription to begin with? As someone who gets more than the price of Prime on shipping items alone, all these additional services are just bonuses to what is already an insanely cost-effective subscription.
Cat is a dumb option. That being said, the list order seems randomized.
You're allowed to think whatever you want obviously; my point was that stating you'd wish they'd gone a different direction is much different than seemingly positioning an argument for what they should and shouldn't do as realistic or in any way beneficial for Twitter. I'm glad you cleared that up but your personal opinions on their direction seem in contention with your admittance that it wouldn't be possible or advantageous for them to follow what you'd like them to do. In regards to email, the oligopoly of decent clients act in a way really no less perverse than Twitter does (which I don't think is much at all mind you).
If I had to guess it'd be similar to Gumroads 5% + 25cents.
Twitter is a private company so they should continue to do whatever they please. If you want to create a decentralized Twitter go for it... my guess is it would be about as popular as Diaspora but all the praise to you if you can disrupt them.
No, it's not ads. Sponsored tweets will likely get the same treatment but this is the start of a two-sided marketplace where users stay on the site to buy an item from a tweet of someone they're following, rather than the old method which was to follow a bitly or gumroad link.
It's because so often they leave it reluctantly, hoping to finish it sometime in the future. I also think there's the gaming community in general has a culture that puts ideas on a pedestal as this great commodity that's inherently valuable.
. if a project raises over 50k, they're obligated to hire a qualified and independent 3rd party to verify their project plan before any money is released.
Ya, that would be a complete logistical nightmare. It's simple: the more failures there are the in the market the more backers will react to projects with skepticism. The creators themselves then must go to greater lengths to prove the viability of the deliverable. If you end up getting sold vapourware then you learn a good life lesson for 50 bucks - caveat emptor.
The amount of people I know who use functional frameworks (say Underscore) to build things but don't really know much about functional programming is astonishing. To be fair, a lot of frameworks that espouse "functional programming" do so just because it's popular and really push imperative concepts instead so it's easy to be confused on the "right way".
It's odd how they have no mention of how it tastes...

That's the first thing I noticed too. Senior iOS Dev making 1k more than a CHO? Only their employees know the culture and value everyone provides but that sort of thing would make me uncomfortable.
What is expected to happen when the money supply becomes fixed?
Being a student is a essentially a full-time job which one is compensated a negative amount. A reasonable alternative opens up the possibility to get compensated in a positive amount. In terms of just programming, you get might get a job for 60k conservatively and suddenly the difference becomes 120k... every year... for at least 4 years. Teaching oneself the theoretical foundations online is still harder than with a professor but the former was never intended to be a direct alternative so the comparison seems as meaningless as it is obvious. Considering someone with 4 years industry experience almost certainly fares far better on an engineering team than most undergraduate CS majors with a summer internship, the economics of the "in-person experience" just doesn't add up. As someone who left school, the reason I only dabble in online education rather than take it as seriously as a student might is because I have more important shit to do.
Ugh I bought Ask.io for one of my own projects. Domai.nr said it was available, I paid, and after about a month they informed it it didn't go through for some reason I don't remember (thankfully refunding me). I was pretty pissed... I had already made shirts.
Due to fear that passengers in the prescreen line may still have a firearm, the TSA is proposing another screening line before the prescreening line.
Do we have any engagement numbers on Snapchat? The deal with Pinterest is that most of their users also have some intent to purchase a lot of their pins. They also have a ton of data for precisely targeted adverts. I'm not even sure about the options Snapchat has for for monetization.
Designers make unsolicited redesigns for shits and giggles all the time. I've had jobs interviews from startups that asked me to redesign a portion of their site and I had to give up rights for them to use it if they chose to (they will claim it's in case their internal designers already came up with something similar but it's completely unethical). Ruby-lang.org on the other hand isn't profiteering off the work of designers. This will appeal to a niche crowd though - designers aren't going to be super familiar with the site and generally don't like working for free, even if it's for a bit of publicity.
Those are two different people...
If that's a full-time gig, that pay is insulting for an experienced front-end developer. I am getting paid over twice that (yes, after the conversion) as a junior front-end dev. I don't have a degree or any significant work experience and live in Boston which I imagine has a marginally lower cost of living. I realize you probably aren't the person who sets that price but it just needed to be said - you will certainly not find the right person if your not willing to pay them appropriately.
Christ... reading that made me feel instantly depressed. Sorry that happened to you man.
At will employment doesn't nullify wrongful termination suits.
Whose to say she didn't install linux on the MBP?
Yep. Project Euler is a waste of time if you're trying to get up to speed in learning programming.
Lots of personal preferences in this thread. As an A/B testing company - they should have A/B tested a scrolling site against video and then been transparent about their results.
The analogy was that the brown person is happily pulling the workload while the Caucasians sit around and do nothing - an appropriate stereotype regardless of whether he is Indian or Hispanic. Amazing how a forum once about tech is now more concerned with pedantic politically correctness.
Hm under closer inspection, they don't have any Asian developer on the boat either! Does this mean Asian developers can't use Sails? And why is the Indian man is the one rowing the boat - without the ability to see might I add? Clearly this is racially insensitive. /s
If Keynes was alive today, I cannot imagine the failures of stimuli based on his monetary policy would change his views on it.
