I worked on a project called Spore ( http://spore.sh ) to do this with a command-line tool. It works fairly well, although I've had a hard time communicating how it works to folks.

I would assume, then that you don't know many poor people. Based on the relationship between poverty and ethnicity, I'd say it's related to much more than their choices.

I think that this is a myth, perpetuated by people who wish to rationalize their position (which also happens to be wealth-maximizing for themselves). Empirically, giving people money helps them. This experiment with the homeless in London

Twitter had revenues of $1.4b in 2014 - for a tech company (i.e. low marginal cost of delivery), I would say that's enough to support a $24b valuation.

Good call, I made that change.

Yeah, something weird is going on, I'm looking into it. You're right that this could end up costing me quite a bit, but I'm still safe right now, with a couple of safeguards to prevent it from running away from me. EDIT: The

Very cool. Hadn't seen that before, but it looks like it provides some neat additional tools, like syntax highlighting and streaming uploads.

Streaming isn't supported right now. Blobs are limited to 1MB, so streaming isn't very useful anyway.

I believe Indianapolis is closer to H than Louisville (but probably not by much).

A large portion of their business already is. I wouldn't be surprised if this layoff was in part shedding the non-consultancy parts of their business.

considering every mistake in the list had an accompanying "right way", I don't think it was a critique of Node.js. Some of these might rightly be called "Mistakes Web Developers Make".

I was with you until the Earth is flat comment - most everyone knew the Earth was round - the thought was that you could get to the Far East by going West.

Not saying that I agree with GP, but the US was much less centralized during the early days of the Constitution than it is today. Part of that is practical - fast communication makes it easier to centralize. But over many years through a co

But my point is that doing that analysis is pointless, because the dollar amount is so low. The difference in price will never be more than a rounding error in a company's expenses, so it's not worth worrying about. If someone at

Widespread use of the Argentine peso isn't critical for its success (a strong economy and good monetary policy is). Widespread use is, however, critical for Bitcoin's success, since it relies on a network effect of merchants and c

In my experience, if a tool provides any business value at all, worrying about $6/employee is a complete waste of time. If Slack saves each employee 6 minutes per month then it has paid for itself. Developer tools generally charge fa

Isn't blogging a form of "broadcast"? Twitter was a originally a "micro-blogging" service after all. I don't necessarily disagree with his point about the levels of abuse on Twitter, but the medium with which h

Simpler probably, but unless you can buy stake from anyone (like you can with hardware), it lacks the same decentralized advantages.

Sure, in some areas it is much harder - but those aren't the areas where you're going to succeed. Look at Pebble - when they first started in 2008, no one was doing wearables. The founder hacked a Nokia screen with an Arduino - th

It's very hard to monetize, but it's orders of magnitude harder to get big in the first place.

the <picture> tag is set up very similarly to the audio and video tags, so I think that even if this specific solution isn't general, the pattern can be applied generally to other types of media.

Value is only what someone is willing to pay for an asset. Shorting the stock allows you to profit off of your knowledge that the stock is overvalued compared to what the market thinks. But remember, the market can stay irrational far longe

My guess would be the decentralized nature of it. Even if this service goes away (like Foursquare could), your check-ins with service won't (at least until the blockchain dies, which is presumably longer than an individual company).
