Confirmed with 2.3 and 1.9+. We had a ton of encoding issues with that combination. We had to ensure every single thing was encoded properly.

I would like to reach a point in web programming where JS, or something that eventually compiles into JS doesn't have to be written or maintained explicitly. GWT comes to mind, and this does something similar with Ruby it seems. Intere

The site is down for maintenance as well, not great timing to be on the front page of hacker news. I have no idea what SheTaxi is given the copy.

Sure, but this could be analogous to sitting at a bar looking at your phone - you're at a bar, what are you doing there?! Now, if it was the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square, its probably a stunt. But yes, a bar is not a place for google

Yes, filming 100% of the time while you are eating at a restaurant would cause unease. Reality TV does this with $10k cameras that are mounted on a dude's shoulder. You don't need Google Glass to know thats a bad idea, so contribu

Absolutely. So I do things like put them on top of my head when entering restaurants, public restrooms, and small social gatherings. Anything that isn't intimate is fair game. If its not "rude" to walk around with your phone

Only to geeky, invasive, awkward, Star Trek lovers aka socially inept young men. None of the people who have approached me directly gave a shit about who I was or what I did for a living. They rarely even introduced themselves. It usually w

What personal reactions do you have with Google Glass that are untainted by what you've read? It's fear dude. I've had old ladies, young children who read about it and are amazed, and technology enthusiasts who would have not

People's expectations can, though. And when it comes to quarterly revenue statements, it matters.

In my experience, Google Glass turns you into a walking celebrity, and has been as far from "socially inappropriate" as it can get. I'm not in San Fran, which seems to be the only place that pours haterade.

Sounds like it can be done, but it won't be by them. Have they patented the technology, or is it even possible with standard Android SDK?

It didn't immediately occur to me, but the Gear VR uses a Note 4, not special Oculus hardware. This looks like an upscale version of "Google Cardboard", which isn't nearly as close to a product as this seemed to be, with

If they are using EC2 hosts, I wonder why they don't use AWS SQS/SNS for their queue systems and Dynamo for their materialized views.

Probably the lifetime of the mainframe versus the long running cost of hosting it on AWS? 8 years, you know what you need it for, might be worth it? Not if you don't have very large POs in hand, however. This includes most start ups.

Don't get me wrong I totally get it. When you plug your device into a message bus like you would a power cord into the wall, things begin to make sense. Here is how I see it coming together: - STANDARDS: The "message bus" nee

Sure, we can all find exceptions. I would imagine it works for some. When it comes to giving anonymous advice on the internet however, saying "don't smoke weed when you're trying to work" seems like good advice.

You can always remove connections. Having a larger network won't hurt you. If it seems completely random or an accident, don't do it. But consider - "could knowing this person in 4 years be a good thing?" Almost always t
