This is really neat. Especially since they have the api results in the page so you can test out how toxic a phase it. It begs the game - make the most toxic comment that can fly under the radar. If they started using this in youtube comment

There was quite a common scam a while ago about selling open office. It actually was completely legal because they were (in the fine print) selling support - the software was free, of course. A lot of bigger companies sell support for OSS p

I could have been clearer because you're right that it's ambiguous. My sense of discovery was meant in the UI sort of respect. When a feature is hidden from the user, that feature might as well not exist. Bots (and command lines,

Does this signal a continued push for bots and conversational UX? Where does the belief in the tech come from? Are there any examples of real success with this tech? Bots can't solve discovery in a novel way without big advances in NLP

"entertainment has become an inferior good" That's quite an interesting thing to say that is super true. Consumption of too much media is now a sign of low class status.

Does this mean that they're charging 1.5% + $0.50 on top of their 2.9% + $0.30 total? It's unclear how all the pricing works. Does the normal stripe fee occur for the user of the market place in addition to the marketplace fee or

Yep. We don't really envision actual people doing these trade negotiations. This explains it with some humanity. http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2015/06/26/417851577/episo... Not to say

My latest project has been in C# (unity) and it's the first time I've used the language. It's a breath of fresh air even coming off of using python/django for the last few years. Types are amazing.

TypeScript has a lot of holes. What I'd like is a language I can use that has optional typing where all the libraries follow a strict type system but the application I put on top of it doesn't care. That is the exact opposite of w

The thing most concerning here is that it seems like the employee never used the 'trade secret'. He just downloaded the source code - code, presumably, he wrote. And of course that this is criminal, not civil. Scary.

One of the most used in industry approaches to pathfinding in things like RTSes is what's called a flow field. It's a bit like a precalculated pathfinding map. These are some of the most interesting for what you can accomplish (pa

Ironically, Bronfman's vision is closest still only in the piracy world as legitimate licensing requires too much organizational buy-offs to ever be universal. Interestingly, services like spotify could have only come about after press

This isn't really true. Most great developers I know have interest and experience up and down the stack though not expertise in all parts. Often, those that stay specialized in one layer of the stack are less helpful because they don&#

This is a boring, uninteresting debate on an interesting topic. I'm sure HN has much more to say in much less time about it. Types help document code such that I'd prefer an optional typed languages wherein libraries and large cod

I used about a gig an hour which came to around 8 dollars for the month. Storage was 15. The g2.2xlarge was 9 for 112 hours of use (I was lazy and didn't always shut it down between sessions).

I, too, followed the original instructions and played the Witcher 3 and Ark: Survival Evolved via my mac against an AWS instance on the frankfurt datacenter. This was in Vienna which means that the average ping was around 40ms. It was a fun

With respect to #1 and #2, I've been skeptical of startups that seem to having such problems and twice I've turned out to be wrong. That not to say that it's always like that, but a little optimism goes a long way. Certainly,

You're absolutely right. Actually, Scandinavia in general has high quality developers on the cheap compared to the states. This while their quality of life seems on a whole better - seems a win/win to invest in or open satellite o

Software developers are generally paid quite a bit less in Finland than in the valley (e.g. 5k euros is quite high for a dev there) with a comparable cost of living. It's expensive in Helsinki and you won't find better paid develo

Games fun. Although, unstable. The site died twice so far. I'd be interested to know the problems you're running into right now as it's hard to figure out the bottlenecks of node/socket under this strange kind of load.

I've experimented with PlayCanvas and the upfront load time is a deal breaker. It feels bloated. Three is impressively small (although I know it doesn't try to do nearly as much). Phaser, on the other hand, seems alright for 2D th

I'm not too worried about identity theft due to simply having an e-residency. That seems like quite a stretch. Russians in Estonia have an interesting recent history but as far as I understand it, a lot can't even vote in national

Yes it seems like it'll be easier now. Exciting really. I bet a lot of people will now take advantage of it. My motivation is eventual real residency. This just makes it easier.

It makes it easier to start a business, open a bank account, and things like that in Estonia. That's important because it's an EU country with a reasonable tax system, stable government and an overall ease of doing business. Being
