Ah, yea I didn't get that at all from your first post; thanks for clarifying.
This is ugly. If Apple can indeed break into the phone, they need to say, "We have to stop production now. All of our engineers will need to be behind this. It will cost us at least a billion dollars, if we can do it. We will miss deadlines for new products and software. Write us a check for $1 billion and we will start on it. We may need a few billion more. Write the check - we'll do what we can do. And lets hope we don't accidentally destroy the evidence doing it."
It's not subsidized.
There's a membership fee after the first three months of $10/mo or $95/yr

One convincing liar can be countered by one person with hard data and equally good at persuasion who follows him around.

One super-rich person requires another equally-as-rich person or enough poorer people to band together against said super-rich person. Said super-rich person also, at least in the case of the Koch Brothers, also has a vested interest in the topic at hand, whereas the equally-as-rich person or even the poorer people might not be as interested.

My apology this is what I inferred from reading review of it, on The Verge:
"It gets worse with third-party apps. The Pixel C wants to be used in landscape mode, but too many apps assume that they’re on phones. Popular apps like Slack, Twitter, and many more toss you into portrait mode even when the keyboard is attached."

From Ars Technica:
"A new entry of late is the "pillarboxed phone app," which is made by designers that see the above issue and say "No problem! We'll put big margins on the left and right of the screen! It's a tablet app now!"
Just wait when Go EE becomes a thing.

Then you will get testing frameworks, libraries each with its own generics workaround and cool interface spaghetti that looks beautiful in UML diagrams at the scrum wall room.

People don't really get that before Java there was C EE and C++ EE, all with similar sins.

Someone probably opened up a browser on a server to look something up and then left it running. With a static IP and battery backup, only a reboot is likely to take it down. The connection should be able to survive short outages due to a firewall restart or momentary problem upstream, especially if there's no NAT in between.

I'm using SSH's ControlMaster in persistent mode on my desktop at work. The connections stay open for as long as the desktop is up, which can be months at a time.

I think it isn't cool considering even that. It certainly feels like the holding company strategy was done to embark on more traditional run-of-the-mill pursuits, while avoiding obvious questions like how on Earth does it make any sense for Google to do this?!
The term is not meaningful. It is much more complicated to save money when you are making poverty levels than it is working at decent wages. There are more costs associated with being poor.

I think you are biased to pick a "micro framework" as a starting point. Because of your experience, you have probably seen all the common patterns in building a web app. As a result, you probably have a solution, or know exactly where to look for a solution to any requirement you come across. However, less experienced team would need a lot more guidance and proven best practices to follow. An analogy is a driver in a foreign country. A GPS map might not provide her with the shortest or most enjoyable route, it gets the job done. Django is great for inexperienced team. It's also great for solo consultant.
I think this is a sentiment most people share, because most creative people only output—at most—a few masterworks in their lifetimes.

I bet the people who are constantly pumping out works that, on their own, would be considered achievements—the Picassos and Frank Zappas and Stephen Kings of the world—have a pretty different view on how much of creating something good is inspiration vs. a schlepp.

The worst thing that could happen is you go back to going physically to the store to buy groceries.

Replace startups with research and you had me for a while. I had to ban myself from even reading academic papers (it's like my cocaine) and get a regular job.

Academia? Naa, I don't touch the stuff anymore.
Nope here too. Can you name some benefit of Python 3 over Python 2 that would make "upgrading" the code base worthwhile? Not even google starts with python3. They recently released their ML library, TensorFlow as Python2 without Python3 support (and Guido worked at google for 7 years -- 3 years before the Py3 release and 4 years after!).

Over 80% of pypi downloads are still Python2. Python3 seems to be the experimental playground with anything worthwhile ported back to the mature, stable Python 2 codebase. There are multiple options for the future of Python with Py2: PyPy, Cython, Conda.

Is there a killer feature for Py3? Maybe if they brought a feature worth upgrading for like true threading, but otherwise -- no. The fact that the company Guido worked at before and after releasing Py3 doesn't even use Py3 should be a pretty strong indication that it will not capture the mindshare that Py2 has. Google put a lot of effort in their own language, Go, after Guido left.

I hope that doesn't portend the fate of Python as a whole (abandonment) if Guido continues to insist on ignoring the user focus and needs with Python 2. I like to think he will come around and make a decent shared syntax version (2.8, 4.0) or develop some feature that makes it worth while, but it has been 7 years so I'm not holding my breath.
Agree with m_mueller. I can never wrap my head around how Ruby or Django expects me to think, but I know exactly how I would go about building a 200-route application in flask.

I said something similar only a couple days ago. Then I realized, that's not what I want; what I want is for the pain and hurt to stop. What a long coming revelation that was.

"Early-stage startups are just fast-moving chaos. That is a constant. That was true in Henry Ford's day, it was true when we started YC."

Interesting quote. There must be some organisation to early startups, otherwise they wouldn't work. Is the chaos just a description of what cannot be observed and described?

Fantastic read. Liked the bit about straw-drawing to talk to customers.
Thanks for the additional context.

> Since they're a huge public company, they have to communicate facts about their business to investors, with some precision, and so they expose you to terms like these.

Isn't a term like "content vertical", though, used with investors precisely for its imprecision? That is, it imparts of flavor of mysterious business strategy and arcane MBA knowledge to the most mundane of activities: creating multiple sub-websites that focus on different content.

To extend your analogy, if a publishing company wants to precisely communicate the decision to publish new magazines, they'd say "this quarter we added four new magazines on the topics A, B, C, D to our roster." If they wished to make it sound like something deeper was going on, they might say, "we're deepening our reach into multiple markets by adding new content verticals."

The part where he says the wealthy earned it. Did they earn it? this is the part where I often disagree with people. We all love to think we've earned what we've got. Just crying out loud 'we worked hard! we earned it!' doesn't make it true.

I'm at the top 10% income earners in a wealthy country and I don't feel think I've necessarily earned it more than the other 90% of the population. I lucked out. I had loving parents that guided me and pushed me to have an education. I don't suffer from any mental or physical disease. Seriously, going to school to get a degree and learning on my own how to build software systems, that's the easy part and wouldn't have been possible if I didn't have the luck of being born in the right social circumstances and with the right biology traits (health and smarts).
Followed the link, it shows plaintext from express at 2.1% and flask at 1.3%. Am I missing something?
Hard to say without specifics, but my experience writing server code in, say, Python, was, I ended up wanting to handle errors in the best possible way, so my code turned into:

try:
x := blah()
except Foo:
yadadad

which is worse (IMO) than

x, err := blah()
if err != nil {
yadada
}

Besides the extra syntactic clumsiness, it was really hard to know what was going to throw exceptions, and which exceptions, and when. Frequently I would get bugs from unexpectedly thrown exceptions.

You said "I have to mentally block out err != nil to read...code" -- for me, the error handling code is code, code I want to pay just as much attention to as the non-error path.

So for that reason I really like Go error handling.

For a client-side script or something, maybe this isn't true; feel free to use log.Fatal or panic if that makes sense for your use case.

Do the economics of food delivery change drastically when 1) there is no driver, 2) the car runs on electricity? Maybe this is their way to establish a food delivery brand ahead of what they to believe to be the inevitable driverless vehicle era.

Speculation affects rent because many buyers have debt. If an owner can raise rents that cover the interest and costs, they will; that is their baseline for how low they will go. Large amounts of speculation will increase rents even with increases supply because owners need to service their debts (up until the point where renters won't pay and owners default).

"Gmailify links your existing account to Gmail" -- okaaay. At least it's stated clearly in this case. The whole merge-with-Google thing (which they've also been known to do as opt-out, albeit not in this particular case) is exactly the reason why I'm avoiding a lot of Google's services, and why I respect (and trust) Microsoft more in recent years. It just saddens me that Outlook for Android is so bad in some things, it's basically unusable (e.g. you can't follow links from emails).

>Ok, I guess we're doing this. I'll explain the basics of money to start.

Don't behave like a child. It doesn't add anything to your argument. Also, you seem to be confused about the difference between interest rates and inflation. The value of money being cut in half is what's referred to as 'inflation' and it's not what is being discussed.
And how could you miss a rat in a canoe for 1000 miles? In a european medieval ship I can see it happening but there's no evidence that these people built anything more than tree trunk canoes.
I'm skeptical this will be successful. I just can't see these kind of operations selecting ripe and fresh produce like my mother taught me from the grocery store. They're concerned about their bottom line and will send whatever is available. Good for the stores, not good for wise consumers.

What does Google see that WebVan did not and Peapod and the USPS do not? Groceries tend to be low margin and relatively heavy goods.

[And, it takes me half hour to an hour to do my shopping, and that's knowing what I want to buy in advance, knowing the store. There is not much room for profit in this scenario, except charging value added rather than flat fee. I mean they are partnering with local grocers rather than automating food stores]

If anyone has the reach and network it'd be the USPS (although their fleet would have to be modified to carry perishable goods).

Seriously, they've been hemorrhaging money, why doesn't or hasn't the USPS looked into the growing same-day delivery market (beside their Amazon deals). Are their unions holding them back, because if they are, it's shortsighted. They should have logistics down to a science.

Inbox still sucks for me because

* It doesn't show full messages on Android Wear devices. You know, Google's own product. Gmail does.

* I can't figure out how to set up a filter in Inbox. The settings page is incomplete. I still have to go back to Gmail to change settings. So I might as well just use Gmail.

* The pins in Inbox don't sync up with the stars in Gmail. Pins, stars, tabs, automatic Gmail categories, automatic Inbox categories, seriously, can we just have one system?

Flask is on there about 3 times, with different choices for ORM. It's at about 8% when used without an ORM. There's no sans-ORM configuration for Express, though, so still not an apples-to-apples comparison. I suspect the grandparent missed the other Flask configurations in the very long list.
Can we kill SMS already? Seriously, what's wrong with e-mail? Everyone has data plans nowadays, if not data-only plans, and e-mail is cross-platform. Stop making me have to carry my phone around. I already have my SMS forwarding to my e-mail automatically, and now I'm just waiting for SMS to die.
Great explanation. Thank you!
On my dual GPU MBP the biggest thing I do to get battery is use gfxCardStatus to force the MBP to use the integrated GPU only. Of course I do graphics and game related stuff but for example having Unity3D open but idle will keep the MBP in discrete GPU mode using lots more energy. Similarly having a google maps tab open in Chrome will also put the GPU in discrete GPU mode. gfxCardStatus lets me force it to integrated only when I don't need the speed.

Another minor thing I do is if I'm working on a game/visualization, at least in debug mode I make then pause if not the focus. Otherwise as I flip between my editor and my app/page the app/page is eating battery as it continously renders
