   Well the team seems to be comprised of some former engineers from SpaceX and the board has some deep pockets. Its possible they have connections to Musk and some insight on how to launch grandiose projects.

   This may not be in line with the author's point, but I agree with you. You probably don't need to build a super optimized native app to launch your MVP. Developers should use whatever tools they're comfortable with for gettin

   This. I've seen developers try to do all these crazy client-side optimizations hoping it will make the graph drawing faster, when all they have to do is sample the data in the server. You don't need an array of 1 million data poin

   I think the FoundationDB acquisition by a company with no interest in selling enterprise products was an anomaly. A popular, commercial enterprise storage system that actually makes money would be an acquisition target from the likes or Ora

    This is a great tool and the effort was worth while. I don't want to sound like I'm badgering it. But how useful is scrolling down 5,000+ rows of data? Are you going to scroll through all 5,000 data points in 10 seconds and find w

    I hope they can use that $70m they raised last year to throw some engineers at their architectural issues and fix the data loss issue. or maybe they're spending that money on marketing and re-branding.

    It's pretty significant that this battle also served as the pre-cursor to the current, secular republic of Turkey.

    Great write-up. As far as backbone goes, we've had success using marionette.js to standardize the way we write front-end components and implement common types of view patterns. Curious to see if anyone else has found it to be useful.

    IMO nvd3 is one of the better high-level charting libraries in terms of number of charts, out-of-the box styles and interactivity.

    I agree my comment is useless but is it really negative? I'm not bashing anyones work. Just making a comment satirical of the fact that a lot of open source projects turn in to commercial, VC backed companies.

    I won't be surprised if some startup comes out trying to sell services/enterprise support for I'll Accept Anything. I'll be even less surprised when they raise like $20m in funding within the month.

    I feel like that's almost impossible to do today especially with enterprise products (e.g. google selling ads to businesses). I think people now are accustomed to using products they've come across online and anything else is too

    "I wonder how you get media to write about your startup like that?" I'm sure being a cheerleader for big companies with massive PR budgets is a nice revenue stream for these online media outlets.

    Just because the tech companies we read about on hacker news rely on and contribute to open source, doesn't mean that its a 'mental sickness' to use proprietary products. There's good workloads for open source (Apple use

    I'm not a lawyer and I'm using my best guess. But you have to be on the offensive and sue Apache to terminate their license, Facebook's license says even claiming their patents are invalid terminates the license.
