Most of those are once-off costs though. They may be expensive but I doubt they're all that expensive relative to the cost of the rocket.

Perhaps I misunderstood what Gwynne was saying. I thought that "launch costs" would be the cost of launching a rocket for SpaceX, rather than the price that they set for customers. Perhaps your correct though, the quote is a bit a

Couple this with the fact that most people are still concentrating on the road while autopilot is in action. So in effect you still have a human driver, they are just not fully engaged with the cars controls. I know when I tried my friend&#

Presumably because most of the commands are just shortcuts for other shell commands. Probably the right tool for the job in this case.

I suspect there's a perf bug in React 15 that causes the 'clear rows' test to be an order of magnitude slower than react 0.14. Otherwise, React is getting faster. edit: My hunch was correct, see here https://github

I'm confused by this comment. This app does not seem to be built using Electron. Nobody has contradicted you so maybe I'm missing something here.

To get an idea of the kind of stuff Palantir do then it's worth taking a look at the presentation that was leaked during the HBGary leaks: http://www.businessinsider.com/palantir-wikileaks-2011-2?IR=...

Nitpick, Electron is Node + Chromium (not webkit).

This! Especially with the web being increasingly consumed on low-powered mobile devices. It's also not just about being faster than the network because the browser is probably simultaneously doing page layout, javascript parsing, image

Worth considering the es2015-node5 preset instead. It will only transpile the features that are not already in node 5.x. The standard es2015 preset transpiles lots of APIs that are already natively available in node 5.

I'm sure the reason npm3 is slow(er) is primarily because it's doing important stuff. However, having played with `ied`, it does flat deps and it's literally an order of magnitude faster (10-20x in my testing). I use npm a lo

Not sure it was meant literally. I took it as more of a jibe at the quality of existing space companies (and Blue Origin).

I feel like phones are slightly larger than optimum at the moment. At least for my preferences. I guess it's tougher to fit high spec hardware into a phone with a smaller footprint. I bought into Steve Jobs' idea phones should be
