This type of banking is a specialization that is referred to as "low documentation" by bankers. It exists in areas with large migrant worker communities like California and Washington.

It is innovative and profiable, but extremely difficult in the post 2008 regulatory climate. I know bankers who work in this industry. The commentary I have heard is that the regulatory burdens are severe.

blackducksoftware statistics has been criticized for both lacking transparency and lacking context. A theory is that they based previously on mostly sourceforge, but has gone over to base their data on github, and the change in license statistics reflect how those places are used.

There was a study on Debian packages, and unsurprisingly it had a distinct 90% GPL license statistics which is neither shared by sourceforge or github. The theory put out from that is that GPL is generally favored by larger projects that has invested time to pass the selective process of debian, while one-time data dumps or weekends hacks tend to have a more permissive license.

I also recall someone doing a random walk in github, and their finding also highlighted that the average quality of an random chosen github repository was generally low and in most cases empty.

Jumping in here as someone who has been designing for the web and other medium since 1994 I think what drew the OP to that question is lack of historical context. This site is great. It's clearly 100% deliberate, tongue-in-cheek, like randlet said here as well. Scrolling headers, blink tags, superfluous animation is what dominated the web like drop shadows / leather & satin / "flat" / etc. later, as we found we could use it — then jodi, nn, and other text-only web artists incorporated into their work. This is a nod to both sides.
I agree there should be less regulatory hurdles for credit unions. Unfortunately this would require essentially some form of deregulation which is unlikely in this political environment.

Banks don't charge outrageous surcharges and fees to be evil. They do it because providing banking services, especially to small accounts is expensive. In 2011 an average checking account cost $349 for a bank to maintain [0]. Anytime there is an attempt at more transparent pricing or discouraging small customers there is a huge backlash for the public and regulatory bodies like financial protection bureau. Bank of America tried charging a $5 monthly debit fee for accounts less than $5k, 2011 only to drop it shortly after hundreds of thousands of petitions came in opposing the idea. Thr consumer protection agencies would have probably shut that down anyway by fiat.

I understand why a credit union is appealing to some but I personally don't care whether my services are provided by a for profit company. I give my business to the organization that can provide me the best value. Walmart shareholders can keep their 5% pretax margin.

Edit: I get it, it appears as though I'm defending the big banks. I just think an explanation as to the high fees is better than blind populist response of claiming the banks are somehow evil. Or the response that any organization that earns a profit is evil.

Did I really just read "Did we reached" as a viable English construction? Ow. Easy fix if you can be bothered.

Regarding the question, no, I think that embodies everything wrong with the abilities of web design. Throwing a layer of Helvetica and various typeface sizes is not pleasant. What gives with the Mickey Mouse hand cursor? I get it has five fingers, but that's a glove suitable for a body that's been floating in a river for the past two weeks. And, if anybody else managed to dig deep enough into this LARGE PRINT EDITION WEBSITE and get to some of the speakers' photos, and mouse over, they wiggle and twitch and zoom in and out in some kind of digital seizure.

If you're going with coolness factor, I can honestly say some Pitchfork and Vice and other multimedia layouts have been quite impressive. There's a reason Medium is catching on so well. Clean, image featuring narrative in a not-too-cluttered-but-still-link-tastic format is highly readable and allows the subject matter to be the focus[0]

Everybody has different opinions and cultural influences, sure. Same goes for food. Or musical scales. I suppose that can make it more difficult for consistent standards and expectations on a global platform like the webs.

God damn that's some terrible reporting. Never mentions what law she broke. Why is pretending to be a man illegal? Is it because the victim consented to sex under false pretenses? What if a woman only has sex with me because she thinks I'm rich in when I'm not, is that illegal?

edit: I looked around a bit, apparently wherever this happened has "Sexual Assault by Fraud" laws. Apparently the only law that exists of this type in the US is pretending to be someone's spouse and having sex with them (written in the 1800s but updated in California a few years ago): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_by_deception#United_State...

Though there have been attempts to make it illegal in the US to lie about pretty much anything in order to get consent for sex: http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2014/11/rape_by_fraud_n...

How far will this go? What if I lie about loving someone to get them consent, will whether I actually loved them suddenly be decided by a jury of my peers? We're going to see a lot of jail sentences being given to people (let's be honest - men) who lied about being single.

I'm not sure why the programming language matters. I'm part of a small team that works remotely for a US company (we're in Thailand), and the company couldn't care less about what language(s) we use - they hired us because of what we can build for them and the value we bring to their business.

Having said that, getting the job was more a combination of luck and knowing the right people than anything else. I expect it's harder trying to find advertised jobs.
Eh... I'd say the problems you need C or C++ for tend to be much more finicky than the typical web development job. Not that the web development work is easier, but the issues tend to be fairly intuitive and pretty close to a human problem.

Explaining C++ lookup rules or convincing a teammate that a particular piece of code contains undefined behavior... it helps to be in person. I haven't tried this sort of work over video chats, though.

"He now seated me near the machine, so that it was on my right, and turned a switch somewhere below the crowning cluster of glass bulbs.

[...]

I felt the huge animate things brushing past me and occasionally walking or drifting through my supposedly solid body [...] Suddenly I myself became possessed of a kind of augmented sight.[...] Indescribable shapes both alive and otherwise were mixed in disgusting disarray, and close to every known thing were whole worlds of alien, unknown entities. It likewise seemed that all the known things entered into the composition of other unknown things and vice versa. Foremost among the living objects were inky, jellyfish monstrosities which flabbily quivered in harmony with the vibrations from the machine. They were present in loathsome profusion, and I saw to my horror that they overlapped; that they were semi-fluid and capable of passing through one another and through what we know as solids."

No I meant why would you expect it to be faster than bundling, not HTTP1.

When writing articles like this, there should really be more detail. We're all the scripts just script tags in the html? AMD dependencies discovered as the tree gets downloaded?

Unless you have an inefficient bundling scheme, bundling performs near optimally. It's biggest downside isn't perf but the annoyance related to having to build the bundles, scale issues on really large apps, debugging inconvenience, much worse caching characteristics, etc. HTTP2 can beat bundling perf but you're going to have to make use of http server push to do it.

>What about flying first class or staying in a five-star hotel — you can’t take either with you!

Those are objectively better than the cheaper alternatives. First class has features that economy does not (more leg room, faster service). Same with 5 star hotels.

You can't substitute lack of features with some ill defined concept of "user feeling". Marketing fluff and a polished product only get you so far.

> In 2011 an average checking account cost $349 for a bank to maintain

From the article:

"The single biggest cost, Israel says, is the cost of bank branches and ATMs. Another 20% is spent on back-office functions, including maintaining call centers and payment operations."

It seems like this is all about bad workflows and customer service... which are technical issues, not inherent business needs. There are probably technical solutions to these problems that would drive the cost per customer down dramatically. Perhaps going forward, there will be more incentive to innovate on this front.

...or maybe there's enough regulation out there that it doesn't really matter.

These "regulatory hurdles" that prevent credit unions from competing with banks were not created in a vacuum, they were created by the banks. No amount of Kickstarting will solve the problem of our political system's fetish for financial domination. The cause is obvious: as a for-profit institution, a bank has the money to lobby for preferable laws, let alone the laws they write themselves. If people began switching from banks to credit unions en masse, the banks would probably calculate that it would be cheaper and easier to manipulate the regulatory environment to inhibit credit unions than to compete on honest terms.

The fact is, as long as the financial system controls the political system, regulation will favor the banks. The only way for this system to be fixed starts at the ballot box.
