But the parking meter (etc.) doesn't need to handle the blockchain at all. It could use the SMS to communicate with a shared parking meter bitcoin transaction server. That said, broadcasting the blockchain is useful.

The metric should be composed of several factors.

If you factor out all 'external factors', then everyone is equal and all hires should be random. I wouldn't personally go to a randomly chosen doctor, though.

It's just a thought experiment. If the accuracy is -+n%, then lets say "2*n% worse".

I think the problem is the "competition free" part.

Obviously companies are not crowdfunding much stuff if they can use regulation to increase profit.

Etherpad uses socket.io. Here's one hosted Etherpad: https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/

The concept of "digital product" is flawed, as it implies scarcity, which is obviously artificial and mostly based on regulation (e.g. copyright law). Instead, you should sell digital services.

And that's caused by lack of competition.

Have you tried socket.io-based web applications on the train? It does pings and reconnecting.

Interesting features, but I feel like it's a lost cause, as it's not worth investing in a proprietary platform.

Apparently my university didn't switch to UTF-8 until very recently because one of the profs used an old Windows which didn't support UTF-8.

>The web won because it has the least barriers to entry for a new developer and solves a lot of difficult problems that the old-school application stack had. I think the web won because the users prefer it over downloading applications.

But if you don't plan to be acquired, why not sign a contract in that effect?

by nawitus 12y ago
But if you believe in the claim, why not sign a contract that brings some validity to the claim?
743.
by nawitus 12y ago
I wonder if it's possible to make that promise a legally binding contract. Of course all startups say that they won't "go away", but most of them will even if they say they won't.

The problem is that it's there's no objective definition of racism, instead there are wildly different (and well-reasoned) positions. Some people think that even "believing" 'races' exist is racist, for starter

Accusation of sexism (etc.) is public and brings shame to the accused (whether or not the accused is guilty). It's also clearly a ritual. In conclusion, I think these social rules explained the blog article are indeed shaming rituals.

I think most programmers I know have heard of D. When I took at look at it years ago, I concluded that the main problem was that it tried to please everyone. There's simply 'too many' features without a core theme to drive pr

Yes, npm uses more space than what is necessary, but luckily disk space is cheap. That said, npm does optimize the disk space usage a bit. If I have package A which depends on packages B and C, both of which need D, then (if the versions ma

It's hard to see how these new startups can compete with existing restaurants. There already are restaurants in cheap-to-rent locations, and it doesn't seem like Sprig et. al. can compete with the prices. I guess my point is that
