That's a dead simple problem to fix. Just don't allow for unlimited free access to resources used for crypto currency mining.

I'm interested, what kind of stuff are they doing in their backend that you guys aren't going to attempt to do yet?

Is it supposed to benefit society? The benefit is that their shareholders will make money - they're a corporation.

Advertising on social media and lots of instrumentation.

That just doesn't make any sense. Their gender identity is theirs to decide, not yours. You don't know what's going on in their mind, and it probably doesn't affect you in the slightest either way, so why not err on the

"To ease the transition, we are launching a data exporter to help you get all your data out of StackMob in CSV format." Ouch, that's probably the bare minimum they could've possibly done.

That has very little to do with someone not putting the work in to make their CSS responsive.

That's a little harsh.

And alienate millions of iPhone users that use Gmail but for one reason or another don't know about or haven't downloaded the Gmail app? Lol

Are those mutually exclusive? Couldn't they miss a trend and then eventually bring it to market late, and then change their minds about it shortly afterwards?

Yeah, I don't buy that. The build packs are open source. Clone them and use them to build your app. It's no different than Heroku. Yeah, you have rebuild some of the stuff they were giving you for free, but that's the whole p

Doesn't that already exist? Where I live, there's a fine for all three of those things.

Normally if a company wants to take that route, they would hire one of the developers as an employee, and the employee's job would be to work on that open source project.

What point are you even trying to make? You trust the app for the same reasons you trust a web site you put your credit card number into, or the card reader that the cashier uses at the local business down the street.

A linked list is not faster than a hash in looking up an element. The operation is O(N) for a linked list and O(1) for a hash.

How much karma do we need to change the color of the announcements bar?

IAP is required for virtual goods used within the app. It's fine to ask for a credit card number to purchase physical goods and services. That's why Apple hasn't shut down Uber and Square.

Did he? I can't remember that being an important issue at all in the 2012 election.

I can't figure out what point you're trying to make. GP pretty much stated in his first paragraph what your comment explained. Does any of that matter? The only reason they thought he was better than Bush was because he made promi

The numbers they report are number of active users, which they define as someone who has used Facebook in the past month. (Of course, I'm not sure if that applies to these particular numbers, which look like they may have been taken fr

Please don't mislead people. Ad buyers do NOT receive any private information from Facebook users when they run an ad. They tell Facebook what kind of user they want to see their ads, and Facebook shows the ads to those particular user

Despite your personal preferences, I don't think it's really up for debate that a lot of people would, in general, like to spend less money than they currently spend.

I think Google would probably disagree with you (and they'll bet $3.2 billion on it.) Nest Thermostat has various concrete benefits, such as energy savings, general ease-of-use, and aesthetics, but more importantly it signals the begin

Beautiful understated home automation designed better than any other company has designed similar products in the past. You should really take a look, I'm surprised that it's possible to not have heard of them before.

Are most of those numbers that surprising considering China's population? To me, it's not very interesting that a country with a huge population has a huge amount of graduates, etc.

Maybe I'm alone on this, but I've never thought "I have to upgrade to a new Ruby point version anyways, why not just rewrite everything in Python/Perl/PHP(?) while I'm at it?"

Can't you explicitly choose whether or not you'd like to give the app a particular permission? I'm surprised that's not possible.
