The article compares it to AWS Redshift or Elastic MapReduce, but I'd say its more like AWS Kinesis.

And it might actually be reliable instead of standing in public saying "OK Glass" three times like an asshole to get the thing to respond. Oh yeah, and how we aren't getting upgraded to the 2GB version even though I paid $1,6

Its almost sad that the goal is "reliably generating cash" instead of "making something better for humanity." Working to prevent me from having to pull my phone out of my pocket is not anywhere close to where our technol

They will certainly hear what I have to say after shelling out $1,600 plus looking like a chump in public on their behalf. PERFORMANCE IS THE ONLY THING I WANT UPGRADED YOU DOLTS. I don't give a shit about Shazam.

I know. And I bet that's against their terms of service, something along the lines of "interacting with our data or our services in an unintended way or through unintended means." Facebook has put the kabosh on other client-s

I experience more like this: Have a great idea, and the more I try to write it down and articulate it, either the idea has a major flaw I did not already see, I realize its already been built and its called something else, or the idea is ge

Interesting, especially if you built on top of it. Pretty sure that doing this is violating something, though.

I'm not sold that this will provide any user-measurable increase in performance. If you are sold by some personal app benchmark, there is a good chance you are writing too much client side JS. And what is to say of other dependencies l

I can see the benefit if everything was connected and it was thoughtless integration the whole way through. I can't help but think about what it will take to get your own personal Internet of Things hooked up. Interoperability and a se

I don't even think the screenwriter for Idiocracy could have planned Yo! as a stock symbol.

If an app that does nothing and has a half life of 3 weeks can raise $1 million, then the industry has a problem.

This signal says that people are still willing to pay for effective data collection. An app like Yo simply proves that quality/purpose do not really matter for making money. If it walks like a bubble, and talks like a bubble

This can happen with knockout and other libraries when you end up dumping data into an object to send over simply to render it view side. You end up with a lot of wires between your controller and the view template rendered on the client si

I don't see it as such. I see it as "independently arriving at the same, correct solution." This is vision, not just skill. You don't see a lot of that. You probably just got distracted by another, harder problem once yo

I'm not certain what version of Google Maps you've been using, but the last few versions have been absolute shit . Why do they keep changing it? If anything, I feel with each new release Google breaks maps further. Constant re-ro

It provides a narrow legal shield if in the case you get popped by the FEDs for owning or distributing copywritten material. "But Feds, I paid for this copy, just stripped the DRM off of it."

Who said it wouldn't be difficult?

Because the app has very little purpose, its obvious why it exists at all: It enables the collection of networked data. But because it was built in 8 hours, you get what you put into it. "built in 8 hours", "does basically no

Interestingly enough, in both the start up and corporate world I've seen hiring when the developer has NO skill in the language. This was true about Java, this was true about Ruby. This was true about python... I think what would be a

And that's fine. The concept of functional programming (currying, etc) is still difficult to execute on a large team or in a long-running code base with developer turn over. That said, new programmers are born everyday and they are fin

And this works as long as everyone is fully committed to functional programming and you have little to no turn over or a small dedicated team. The minute you step into the standard industry things change a little bit. I once maintained an a

Such a temporary argument, especially when you consider Amazon has "increasing selection" as a core tenet[1] of how they grow any business they've created over the last 20 years. [1]: http://g-ecx.images-amazon.c

You aren't a soccer mom who loves Amazon and buys everything on there because it still saves them time (even if its 4 day free shipping). Amazon Mom says there's a huge market for this sort of stuff. These Mom's have phones.

You can if there is a pre-arrangement, or at least the sender and the recipient. Its essentially a contextual "ping" that only the sender and receiver understand, usually from a different channel. It being easier allows people to
