Ford pays for a cell data link. Edge, 2G and analog equipment is still out there and cheap for things like this.

Main reason to avoid long polling is the awful scalability (compared to plain old socket programming).

Will people stop writing crap "on" HTTP please and use TCP like you're supposed too! :) Websockets is a great transport protocol for bi-direction realtime persistent connections. And it's very easy to write your own appl

Thinking is not a self help book. It's a memoir of sorts about a nobel prize winning economist and the way he and his mentor changed the field of decision theory through the combination of economics, psychology and statistical mathemat

More a discussion about why not to use PERL than anything else. Also, hire a branding expert - "moonpig" is awful in every way possible.

Lead and they will follow. Or post meta-commentary without helpful value.

There are two opposing views of the Declaration and the Constitution. One view considers these documents to be the expression of the inclusive rights granted to the citizenship. The other view considers these documents to be the definition

Only write meta posts that complain about community rules and slyly use the article you're trying to promote as an example of how the rule has failed the community. Win/win.

Bitcoin isn't a bubble as much as it's a hyped up pump and dump scheme. Oh wait.

If I'm not mistaken angels anticipate that 90% or more of their investments will fail. It's high risk so that's why they command high equity. "Regret" (ie hindsight) is a useless metric. But that's the not the
