Keep in mind dealers are not the ones who offer the Update/Upgrade you are dependent on aftermarket services which tend to be more expensive (It's easily more expensive to restore a "normal" car then buy a new one) Howev

If Tesla continues to follow this route it will have lasting implications for the automotive industry. Instead of replacing" your car every 5-10 years you can "Upgrade" keeping existing chassis but replacing enough to make it

Not related to this specific case since I generally think calling people out is bad form. However, I remember back in 2011 when looking at job postings for iOS Positions that "Required" 5+ years developing for "iOS" I co

I've seen at least one "Coin Beta" backer that actually got a Coin. It looks like a credit card - the button does not have a great clickly felling you would expect and the quality does not feel premium. but it seemed to work

iOS Developer here. This is pretty standard, I've been rejected for having a UIWebView (not even a main feature) in an iPhone App that displayed content that did autoscale correctly on the iPhone but when the user agent changed to iPad

I ran the Seiki 4K as a monitor for about a year. Overall the quality is fine however the 30hz and mouse lag make it less then optimal for anything other then static content. Even scrolling a page is not easy on the eyes.

In many cases these can be thought of as "bug fixes" cleaning it up might expose us to even more issues.

I've been using 3.4/Asyncio recently and coming from a background of C/Objective C it's hard to believe Python got by for so long without having something like Asyncio as a core package (yeah I know Gevent and Tornado ha

Usually I associate sites that break the back button as untrustworthy (Spam, Porn, Porn Spam, Malware). Not a great first impression considering, you know bitcoin, money and all of the fraud that has been associated with it to this point.

I think there may be a case for using something like GitHub to allow editors to edit etc.. and writers to pull the edits though I'm pretty sure most media outlets have systems that do almost the same thing.

Sadly it's likely to be a Phantom that gets ingested into a jet engine first. The low barrier to entry means you have more people who don't understand the rules/safety implications flying them.

I remember David from Weebly noting that they narrowly avoided the pinch by becoming profitable (circa 2009?) Now AFAIK they are kicking ass.

In the current climate what would you recommend the size of a seed round be? Clearly the answer is not "as much as you can get" right?

" This should go a long way as Africa is not limited by many of the strict regulations or entrenched cooperate interests that can limit trying new things. Mobile payments taking off there long before here in the US being a good example

My intent was not to marginalize anyone, I actually think Africa has a lot of potential for awesomeness. Read my comment minus the joke.

"I’m still convinced I wouldn’t have gotten this far without RubyMotion, and as a learning tool its value is immeasurable." I contest that this is not great advice for other people interested in learning to program for iOS, maybe

by kenrikm 12y ago
As an iOS Developer I would not recommend using RubyMotion to "learn" just hunker down and learn Objective C it's really not that difficult to pick up. Currently I would also give the the same advice for Swift - You're b

Or you sell the exploit to some organized crime ring and are not the one on the hook for the actual attack. Not that I agree with that, however my point is that there are people out there that purchase exploits like this.

I would say it's wrong, typing faster will not produce better software. Most of the time involved in writing software is not actually writing it. You may type 3x faster but if he is 5x faster at coming up with a quality solution then

I see it like a Craftsman woodworker vs a high school shop class. At the end of the day they can both build a birdhouse though the quality of final result will be very different.

Being a pushover does not make you "nice" there are correct ways to write good software and pointing that out in a respectful way is not mean. However walking upto a person and saying you're an idiot this feature is useless y

I agree it was bad phrasing, that was not my point. I was simply pointing out that even though his wording was bad what he was trying to get across (Proof that is's still a viable hypothesis) was technically correct. Here i'll fix

Interesting, are the founders behind the cold pitches generally non technical then? Most good engineers I know start to build first and then end up applying to YC etc.. after they have something worthwhile.

It's pretty simple you need one of two things: Growth or Connections. I you don't want to play the connections game then metrics talk. Both don't hurt. As a note: this place (the valley) is small.. you run into people you kno

I think "Proof (that we) Possibly" kinda sums it up. This is "Proof" that there is a possibility (does not rule it out). He's being down voted because people are splitting hairs about the wording. What he said was g
