Very impressive Maarten. I especially like your localisation efforts! The unique URL's fitting for each language are amazing. Do you feel this is a big boon to spread fast? Are you yourself a good speaker of those languages, or did you ask

Buying stock drives the price up of said stock, allowing the company to reap more money per share when it wants to sell more shares on said secondary market, and also allows it to get better deals on loans and future funding rounds. It migh

Sponsors pulled out because of the controversy, the contract for the venue had to be signed and the organizers weren't sure they could find more sponsors to fullfil the financial obligations. There weren't many options left but to cancel.

Apparently the non-profit conference had thus far a 100% white male line-up and got a lot of negative tweets about that recently. Example: https://twitter.com/joshsusser/status/269863520135421952

Ah I see, sorry I misinterpreted. I think the routers where you can flash your own linux on, and run it as a server, might already be able to do so. Other than that I think they innovate too slowly to be a significant competitor to AdTrap,

Not sure if having a boolean value where "null" and "false" mean two different things is a good idea. Sounds like a source for a lot of bugs in business code and SQL.

Maybe, like jacquesm, it's my lack of experience in retail, but doesn't "money gone missing" show up on the books quite easily, especially after a quarter? You sold X, so you should have Y, except there's only Z (Z < Y). Or, if they did

You can use an app to set the display to the native 2880x1800 resolution if you wanted to.

For a real business, $169 is peanuts. If it's $9 a month or $169 a year, that won't make any difference for a professional app developer. I'm sure you've heard of the Adobe products with price tags of around $1000. That's the price tag th

Three points: - Selling SaaS is very new, and almost still a "niche" especially for consumer software like Sparrow. Software without subscriptions is still 99% of what the consumers buy. It's definitely a viable market. You can't just take

No, you don't want to wake up one day, find out the company went bankrupt, and after the month is up your source code is useless because the license isn't renewed.

Weird that they were comparing it to Dropbox, while to me it sounds like they should've compared it to Backblaze or Crashplan.

Are you seriously suggesting that as long as anyone has been working on something for years, that we should accept what he says without looking at it in a critical way? The enlightenment must have passed you by.

TIL if you're a twentysomething you're not allowed to have critical opinions. It goes both ways.

An unprovoked jab at newbies, way to be original. Not appropriate for the topic at hand, in my opinion.

The article divides the cause of the loss as follows, in one of the first paragraphs: 48% due to storms, 42% due to starfish, and 10% due to bleaching. Of these, only the bleaching is a mostly direct cause of civilization. But reading the l

Probably more forgetful than malice. I can imagine them having tried 100's of designs/photographs, all licensed as "comps", to then pick the top 5 and use those in the ads. The last step should have been "relicense the photographs for ad us

But you were being paid through Paypal as a freelancer. I'm guessing that makes you a business for Paypal.

I'm not sure I understand how a speed benefit would be had here, since to get number N+1 they still need to retrieve (and/or calculate) number N-1. The difference between getting (N and N-1) or only N-1 is negligible, especially for large n

Estimated around the end of this year, the amount of Bitcoins mined per day will be halved according to the schedule. If I understand correctly, this means that the cost to mine one BTC will double, roughly, if the mining capacity stays the

Sorry but this is bullshit. That's now how computers work. First, being able to make a CPU run at 100% is not a metric for how efficient a language is. If anything, it could show that the language is very inefficient. Further, it's not real

Googling is about the worst way to set up an nginx server configuration! The only tutorials and helpful snippets out there are riddled with bad practices. Here's a list of "pitfalls" that are commonly used and really shouldn't: http://wiki
