Nobody sets out to do evil but until he creates an ownership structure which prevents himself from cashing in once he's won everyone's trust this is just an underdog doing whatever it takes to attract customers. To be succinct, on

It's indicative that the entire article didn't wrestle with any real issues. I don't think being a youtube star is any sure sign that they represent Millenials. All indications seem to suggest that w/regard to news, Vice

Syriza (Greek election today) is an example of what can happen next but things have to be so very far gone before such a party can bubble to the surface. I think you're one more crisis away from it in America - and there's a very

There are a lot of problems with reification. It's a real strait-jacket. It would kill the JVM as a platform for Clojure and Ruby and kill some of the advanced parts of Scala.

Those are well articulated problems that people working with Microservices are very concerned with solving. I agree that there is a technology hype-cycle but I think what actually tends to happen is that the best parts of existing solutions

Also Blumberg's input on Planet Money quickly descended into the worst kind of sycophancy. naked capitalism did a very good job of calling him out on it. It's a shame because some of the early shows (eg giant pool of money) were v

We're Alive ( http://www.zombiepodcast.com/ ) is the only decent podcast audio drama I've heard. Other than that you'll have to stick with BBC adaptations.

Very hard to define what a startup is these days and it would be great if you were able to define criteria and post them on your website. Too many "Startups" have been going for years and don't offer equity to new employees.

Nothing wrong with burnout. You'll go get yourself a better job once you wake up from it. Established mom/pop shops are the best way to break into an industry but a terrible dead end for your career.

Xabber doesn't do push notifications so it eats battery. It's basically over for XMPP, but Hangouts was a still born PoS.
