It seems pretty unreasonable to tie together stock buybacks and employee stock compensation. The reality is that companies using stock for employee incentives will necessarily have to create new shares fairly regularly. Buying back shares a

It's generally pretty easy in most frameworks to plug in to all XHR requests (see e.g. jquery's ajaxPrefilter). Then you can simply add a CSRF token to the header of every request (or possibly your authentication details directly)

Cappuccino has been around since 2008 :) And although at this point it has not much in common, Ember is the direct ancestor of a project from the same time.

ActiveMerchant's entire purpose is about abstracting all the different payment gateways into one API. If you know for sure you're going to use Stripe, or if you want to use Stripe specific features (of which there are quite a lot

Yeah, we specifically designed this setup with your situation in mind. As the author of a library, you can specify the version you want to use. So your code will work on any account, regardless of what that account's version is set to.

Interesting. I actually ended up not using react-async, because we were trying to manage all the data at the top level, but I'm not entirely convinced that's the way to go (at least not for every app). I just started playing aroun

With the right set of abstractions, you can use an API to get data from the client side, and a direct local database lookup (or cache here, or whatever) on the server. This is, of course, a bit more difficult than the simplest version, and

The issue is more likely the timing of the data arrival than just because render is being called multiple times. It would be pretty easy to fix. I actually have been really pleased with the combination of a few related react packages (mostl

After reading this announcement, I have no clue what this is or why my company might want to join it.

It certainly serves some purpose to map your runs even for less serious runners. It would also be cool to have music without being tethered to the phone.

I think the point is that lots of runners would prefer not to bring their phone if that was an option and this watch could have enabled that. It's a legitimate (minor) annoyance to carry your phone while running.

When Webvan was raising money valued at $1 billion would it have been wise to predict that it would "stop very soon"? Anecdotes are not market principles.

Unless of course they invested when bitcoin was over $1000. Ever heard the phrase "past performance is not an guarantee of future returns?"

San Francisco had real time information about a large percentage of it's parking spots and it was available as an API. Apparently, though, this is no longer the case: http://sfpark.org/how-it-works/open-data-page&#

Although I realize that on some level it's just not my kind of humor, I honestly think this game is pretty disgusting and I'm surprised by how popular it is.

A right of first refusal is usually the right to buy at the same price as a third party has offered, not at some other price determined by the company.

There's a certain joy in the reward of having taken the coins before you knew for sure you needed to that would be lost.

The battery swap is not the 30 minute charge time, it's an actual charge of your own battery (the swap is a lot faster than 30 minutes). I don't think battery swap is currently available at these charge locations?

An 80% chance of becoming worth $1 billion (liquidly) seems like a dramatic exaggeration to me.

Yes, I'm willing to believe it's worth nothing. I'm actually willing to believe it's worth less than nothing; that the cost of running a service processing that much data for free may be higher than the service is truly

Both of these are are not true. The search field uses your contacts as a data source (though perhaps it works because I have synced with Google, I can't be sure). The maps are vector.

I was wondering if there would be any answers about this. Without that feature, it's a one way tool: all changes must be made here, the compiled product can't be usefully edited. I imagine it would be pretty challenging to parse a

I doubt they intended something like this to be possible, but what remains to see is whether or not they'll be OK with it. I wouldn't be surprised if Apple disabled :hover and other interactive CSS features within Mail.app in a fu

Yeah, I'm sorry about the way it played out too. Unfortunately, a lot of that was out of our hands.

It's a shame that 280 Slides is no longer online, because I'd love to be able to challenge your performance assertion. Back when we released it, in 2008, browsers were a hell of a lot slower than they are now. And even then, 280 Slides laun
