The secret lies in the route planning and not the chargers. EV Charging is a discoverability problem, not an infrastructure one. Tesla knows this very well, and just giving access to this infra isn't going to take away anything from them.

Unbearable news 7 years ago

Wow, I did not think from that perspective at all. Thank you for giving an in-depth overview too. I need to think of some way that works as a value add for the newspapers and provides a better reading experience for users.

Unbearable news 7 years ago

I've been thinking for a while about this now, and I feel micropayments would probably have a huge impact around this. Maybe have a library app with most of the publications where you load some money in and for every article that you read halfway through (kinda like the Spotify model for incentivising artists) it automatically pays them from your end. The main fallacy I see here is that you need to have money all the time in your account before you could read or you won't be able to read any articles. One way to mitigate this is that for every article you read you have the option of saving it later so you have something to read. The second one could be to show them ads.

P.S. I've been working around building an app for this for a while now.

With all the comments regarding the resurrection of Windows Phone, I really want to know the developer experience that came with developing WP apps. I haven't had a chance to work on it, but was there any way something like flutter or react-native could have saved the ecosystem.

Hi everyone,

I recently created something called Bitcharge, an easy way for freelancers, businesses and just regular people to accept crypto payments in multiple cryptocurrencies. All you have to do is create your profile, get a link and share it with the world. As an example you can take a look at my profile. (https://bitcharge.co/yogesh)

The idea came from a personal frustration I had while I was working as freelancer in the crypto space. It was getting difficult to manage all the addresses I had to send for client payments and making sure there aren't any typos and also verify if the addresses are active.

At the cusp of it, it's nothing more than a url that you can use to share your crypto addresses with the world with a single link.

I would love to hear your thoughts, and I am more than happy to answers any questions you have about the product or anything else.

Thanks a lot for the writeup. We've been using react native for a while now at our org and while we aren't native developers, we are getting along really well.

One question that popped up in my while reading the article was would you consider doing the android app in react native if you had to start now ? Or do you still feel it lacks the coherency it has with iOS.

I know I am taking this out of context, but this is best thing I read on the internet since a while.

That's the issue. All the people I interacted with are generally afraid of putting their money in bitcoin because of the volatility. Sure, people with interests in bitcoin trading would definitely not like that, but for normal people it would be a no-brainer since they can get out the same amount of money they put in, as they do with banks.

Wouldn't it be nice if something like the old Yik Yak (anon one) be used for local news. Or is there anything already present in this anonymous local news space.

For someone who has a very limited sense of blockchain, it was very difficult for me to understand the idea of Dot. Would be kind enough to explain what exactly is it that Dot is trying to do, in a layman sense.

Cheers.

Flow vs. Typescript 10 years ago

I know I sound a little ignorant, but could you elaborate a little on nullability. I mean is it the same as checking whether an assignment is null or not?

P.S. I haven't used either typescript or flow.

Are you heavily focused on getting a book, because there can be a few downsides to that, the most important being losing out on a lot of changes the language is going through. A video course sounds like a much better option. Anyway, I would recommend the entire series of You don't know JS by Kyle Simpson. I would recommend the video courses by him as well.
