FWIW I personally don't buy any products or services for my business, that are backed by a one man company. The risk that you may get sick or bored or bought out or hit by a bus, etc. is too high. If you're not a sales ninja, you&

Telcos CEOs and big shareholders are extremely arrogant, but not dumb. IMHO in the US, the balance of power between telcos and phone manufacturers is still in favour of the telcos. To have any chance Apple will have to bring back most of th

But nobody has payed Google for store access in this scenario. They may cut you off any time.

That's interesting. Can you recommend any articles or books on this?

You're underestimating Amazon's software muscle, they have some very hard hitting teams. Plenty of PhDs, old-time Lispers, etc. I have a Kindle Fire HDX 8.9' tablet, the hardware is top notch and there are plenty of apps. Fro

These guys did it right. You first build a simulator and publish a paper and then join a hedge fund for $$$$$$ and actually try the algo.

HN has become very negative in the recent years. Only stuff build by Apple and Google gets mostly positive comments.

It was bootstrapped, from what I know the original 4 founders used to own 80% of the company a year or so ago.

Both Telerik and Infragistics have their main development offices in Sofia, Bulgaria. From what I've heard most of Infragististics developers/testers/managers have worked for Telerik in the past and there is a considerable cu

I have run a few small companies (up to 30 employees/contractors), and FWIW my experience doesn't match your assumptions. At the end of a year you've made a limited amount of profit and you want to distribute part of it to th

Haha, quite self-sentric, aren't we. I've been reading sci fi books since the 1980s. I guess, by your logic, any title I haven't heard about is just bad ... I've been using AdMuncher since 2002 or so and IMHO it's a

> don't make people compete by limiting the prize pool That is an interesting idea and it probably works in some rare situations. But unfortunately, most of the time, we only have limited resources and so a limited prize pool. The q

IMHO WPF doesn't have so much of a good reputation, to be used to market other products.

Now that's a reassuring yes :) What I meant is it seems (I've never used or seen it before) to be closer to a message broker than a bus - http://www.udidahan.com/2011/03/24/bus-and-broker-pubsub-dif.

And that's one of the reasons if you're not a security expert and stumble upon someone's security problems, you do nothing (at least in US).

Well the point is any other API will face the same restrictions in the browser. It isn't something JavaScript code can fix directly. If you need to call external services from the browser (and not everybody does), the isobuild APIs cer

Browserify is just a hack, Meteor seems to be looking for a clean, long term solution.

I believe Twitter is trying to kill their API, hence no CORS or JSONP.
116.
by rational-future 12y ago
Yes, we can :) Working around CORS is just a matter of server configuration. With the same API you only fix the servers, with different APIs you have to fix both the servers and the code.

>> HTTP.get() will have to deal with CORS on the web, but not in apps You can still use exactly the same code in the browser and on the server. Allowing stuff like server-side rendering on old browsers and JS rendering for the majorit
