Besides Stripe and Braintree, I would like to recommend FastSpring. Accepts credits cards, Paypal, Amazon and others. Supports recurring payments (perfect for SaaS) and single payments for products. Has great support, and the fees are very low. I have been using them for more than 2 years, and have had no issues.
Yeah, I had no idea when I signed into Pokemon Go with my Google account that it was doing anything scary. I didn't even consider it would be granting full access to my account. It's almost like Google treats that as the default case, and it's an exception that they style differently when the app requests a particular scope to limit its access.
In summary, if you give a nefarious app your password it can do a nefarious thing?

I'm curious how exactly this is specific to the UIWebView implementation.
> That's not responsive; I already explained how that doesn't mean their value contribution accounted for the full difference, even as it accounted for some of the difference. (See the "edit" remark.)

Your edit doesn't change my point. The primary value the real estate agent adds versus say an ad in the paper is selling now versus selling later. The value of that time-saving is directly proportional to the value of the property.

> but "inertia" is a big one in real estate

"Inertia" is not something that "keep[s] the market out of equilibrium." At least I've never seen it in any economics textbook as an example of market failure.

> but the top home REAs basically live off the monopoly returns from having already sold properties

Your argument stretches the word "monopoly" to absurdity. It takes a high school degree, a 60-hour online course, and passing an incredibly basic exam to become an REA.

> Right, just like everyone wanted to invest in every venture that ever proposed a better way of doing things, because all value opportunities are immediately obvious to everyone and they come beating down your door to take advantage of them, even and especially when there are numerous st(ake|ock)holders with veto power?

What stakeholders with veto power are stopping you from negotiating a lower fee with the most desperate REA you can find? If all you need is an REA so you can put up an MLS listing they're a dime a dozen.

programming isn't just about solving problems. One of the reasons I'm drawn to programming and software engineering in general is because it grants me the power to create things and impact others. Of course, sometimes to create those things you will have to solve problems, but I think if you want to create something badly enough and a technical problem is stopping you, you'll find a way around it.
That my friend is a sophisticated answer, I take your argument word for word and I do give you full win credit for this debate.

Yes, but the US Navy builds them one at a time, every 5 years, so $2B/year and they are used to guarantee the cooperation of an important ally/partner with the USA instead of with Russia or China. There is a big cost, but there is a monetary benefit from the deals made by promising to always keep a carrier strike group near someone's shores, ready to defend from foreign aggression.
All of your points are 100% true. There are workarounds, but generally I think we need to embrace these challenges as perfect use cases for our own work as technologists.

If you were to project our current technical culture many years into the future, flying cars, free energy, clean water, etc., would we still have to herd ourselves into a central location every day so we can sit in a chair that is positioned next to a bunch of other people in order to accomplish the most basic communicative/collaborative tasks? With all that we've accomplished and all that we will accomplish, it seems to me that's not the way of the future, that's the way of the past.

TL;DR; It's not that remote work is easy, it's just that we smell of hypocrisy when we try to apply technology to every possible problem while rejecting it for our own.

And that's a problem for the EU, because many people don't feel like it does a very good job of listening to people (or even countries). Instead, they feel that it does what it wants, and runs over people who don't like the EU's self-decided plan.

That would be a problem for the US, too (see the approval ratings of either Congress or the president), but we're not having to hand over much new power to either one at the moment, so inertia is working for the US. It's working against the EU.

There have been many other languages before solidity (LLL, Serpent, others) Solidity is actually pretty well engineered, it is problematic mainly because it put beginner-friendliness before security as a design goal.

I think the future the ethereum smart contract options will consist of (1) Solidity with many static analysis tests added to generate warnings about dangerous code use and (2) an ML-style language that is less novice-friendly but allows for deep type-level constraints to mitigate potential attack scenarios.

I’ve been tracking my time for 18 months, and here’s what I learned
I can rephrase that there is some point X where X is the amount you pay employees, such that you don't make any money on T time scale. You can't say that you always get better productivity as you pay more and more. There comes a point where paying them more does not improve their efficiency or your business enough to justify the higher salaries being paid out.

I'm not saying that paying min 70k is beyond this point where paying them won't help you on T time scale, but it needs to be evaluated. You can't just assume that paying someone more will be more than made up for in increased long term efficiency.
If an app does this, won't Google revoke their API key?
I can verify this. I logged in with Google and see no permission given to the app.
I think you are mistaken to think there is no business case for good, stable salaries. Think motivation, employee retention, attractiveness to prospective employees, team spirit, ... you can easily argue that a good and happy team is worth more in the long term to shareholders than the cliché American hedge fund strategy of buying a company, reducing staff and staff salaries and cashing out. What's good for the employees need not be bad for business, certainly not in this case as it also happened to generate goodwill and attention/good press for the company, but there are also plenty of good reasons in other cases.

They brought it to this point but my hope is now the new owners can turn it into a more legitimate sport. As an example right now the UFC is setting up a fighter named Dan Henderson to fight for the middle weight title just because its a rematch with the current champ Michael Bisping and is a big money making opportunity for the company. If you look at his record[0] though he's 3-3 in his last 6 fights and is passing people much more deserving of a title shot[1] if the new owners have a more defined system for championship fights it will eliminate the biggest issue I think the UFC currently has.

These new owners are in a position to make buckets of money. There online subscription service FightPass is apparently super popular and I could see a new tier being added they would include the PPV cards for $30 or $40 a month. I hope Joe Rogan stays as a commentator even though he has said he will leave if the company sell's.

#6. It is not easy! Prepare to put in long hours especially in the beginning. Prepare for it to take a mental toll at times. You will second guess yourself, feel insecure, be consumed oftentimes with your business.

You will now have thousands of bosses rather than just 1 or 2. Your customers are now your bosses and many of them will be requesting different things. You will have to learn how to filter through all of that noise and decide which to listen to and what to implement into your software. That is harder than you think.

I think a lot of people have un-realistic expectations on being your own boss. I am not saying the 4 hour work-week hasn't worked for some but it has never been a reality for me. Maybe someday ;)

I don't want to make it sound bad because it is not. It is just not as easy as many make it out to be either.

> Mr. Torvalds only uses this type of language after a problem has persisted for a long time, usually after repeated attempts (either directly or through his "lieutenants") to fix the problem.

That's not true. See for instance this message [1] and its follow-up email [2]. My reading of that example is that the person Linus is yelling at didn't even know there was an issue until the yelling started. That's not appropriate behavior.

> There is a difference between careful use of strong language to make a specific point, and a personal attack or continuing grudge.

Yes, and conduct like what's said in the article, and mentioned above, and countless other examples, fall on the personal attack side of the line.

> Sometimes strong language caries meaning. Cultural differences can make this a bit of a gray area, but in this case, a minor use of strong language was very effective at conveying just how bad those comment styles are for the long-term maintenance of the kernel.

In this case I suppose you could argue that it is minor. In many cases it is not. Yes, strong language carries meaning, but I think we disagree about what that meaning is. Plus, you can have strong language without being insulting or cussing someone out.

But even so, do you really think anybody would have ignored Linus if he'd said "this is the comment style I want for kernel code, and I expect you all to abide by that requirement"?

> I'm suggesting that strong language is data which is foolish to ignore if it's used carefully.

It's not being used carefully. It's being used aggressively and in a personal manner. Linus himself has admitted this. [3]

The Top Challenges of Today’s CMO
Even in these cases Erlang/Elixir processes can be a useful way of designing your app. Off the top of my head, here are a couple obvious use cases I can think of:

Basic state storage in between requests. Maybe you're building a simple shopping cart application, or maybe something more complex like a SurveyMonkey-style form builder. Each time someone makes a web request that modifies this state, you're storing that state somewhere.. but it's usually somewhere outside of Ruby. Maybe postgresql, maybe redis. If you were using Elixir or Erlang that would still be an option, but another option would be to use a process to store this temporary state. When the user adds things to the cart you send a message to the right process and let it know. This can keep all your code in one system (BEAM), so fewer moving pieces, easy to unit-test the entire thing in ExUnit, and potentially more efficient since there's no I/O to some other database. Then you can continue to save your truly long-term data in postgresql, so for example user accounts and sales made.

Another obvious use-case is not needing to have background workers like resque or Sidekiq. When I was doing Rails stuff I found myself doing tons of stuff in Sidekiq workers when I wanted to get the work off the request-response cycle. Sidekiq was great, and it improved things hugely.. but in Elixir I get all that for free with processes. Want to send an email? Have an email-sender process running and just send it a message. Want to do some fancy image processing, or even just thumbnail generation? Just have another process do it asynchronously. And once again, it's all inside the same code base and it's all super easy to unit test. And once again it makes your system simpler because you don't have another system process to deploy and manage.

Why not the "official" version?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxic_oil_syndrome

"The cause was traced to the consumption of colza oil that had been intended for industrial rather than food use. To discourage human consumption, the oil was denatured by the addition of aniline to make it smell and taste bad. It was then imported as cheap industrial oil by the company RAPSA at San Sebastián, handled by RAELCA and illegally refined by ITH in Seville to remove the aniline, resulting in a palatable product that could then be illegally sold."

No one has died fighting in the UFC, although it has happened (only 4 times to date in the US) in other organizations[0]. I'm sure one day it will happen in the UFC and there will be a lot of hand-wringing, but the injury rate is comparable to any high-impact sport like boxing or football. The risk of head injury might even be less than boxing because there's no standing 8 count and there are more ways to win without the head being attacked. Referees are generally very well-trained and the overriding imperative is fighter safety. Not to whitewash or anything; it's a bloody and violent sport to be sure. But I think that it's much more civilized than non-fans tend to realize.

Seems to work great for the local Dunkin Donuts where I live. You have to enter the parking lot to get the PokeStop, then you see their store, and are probably more likely yo come in and get a donut or coffee. I've grabbed more coffee from them since. It's basically like free advertising for them since people have to go walk by their store and actively think about going in or not vs. never entering the parking lot and maybe not noticing it. Sure the free advertising won't pull in every customer, but it will increase the average number of customers who come in.

Depending on the RR, the hot box detector will read out over the radio whether it has found a defect, what axle number it counted it to be on, and the total number of axles counted. It uses a pyrometer to "measure" the temperature of the bearings as they go by, although they aren't particularly accurate and are subject to variances due to environmental conditions. If the detector indicates that it has found a hot bearing, the engineer will stop the train, walk and count back to that axle, hold a special wax crayon on the suspect bearing, and if the wax melts, they have to set out the car. Usually the hot box detector will be associated with a dragger detector as well, and in some places will have other hazard detectors.
Well technically that specific train was a stunt (at the time BHP Billiton's regular run used 336 cars and 6~8 locomotives, now 264 cars and 4 locomotives), other commenters have answered as to why you'd want to run longer trains (and AFAIK modern trains rarely run a single locomotive these days, a pair is just more efficient and convenient even on passenger trains)

In the U.S. that would the train's rear conductor or a brakeman, basically the conductor's assistants.

It's worth noting that Niantic Labs (the folks who licensed Pokemon from Nintendo and made Pokemon Go) are actually owned by Google [0]. This is Google giving itself permission to do Google things.

TypeScript has dealt with this in the past by adapting to the introduction of `<Foo>` from jsx, which clashed with typescript's casting operator. If this ends up being a problem I'm sure that the TypeScript team will just pick a different syntax.

In my experience, the overhead caused by TypeScript is far outweighed by benefits in tooling and confidence that my code works (mostly) after refactors.
