Grindr isn't the only thing in the world reducing sex to a commodity, that happened long before Grindr showed up in the scene. Same with predators; when was the last time you went to a basement gaybar?

You put monogamy on a pedestal as if everyone should prescribe to your world views, perhaps they don't?
Stories like this always remind me of the car allergic to vanilla ice cream.

Clearly, the solution is software defined networks.
I have a dual degree with French Horn Performance and Computer Engineering. I spent a decent amount of time understanding audio signals in college and as a result I feel I can intuit a lot about audio signals wrt to capture/processing etc. It also conceptual overlaps with common effects in the RF design world which is cool. Lots of other things that it gets used for but thats maybe one of the more direct/interesting.
it's not the huge blobs of traffic that you should worry about, but illegal activities... you can get yourself into a serious trouble this way, and trying to prove later that it wasn't you who downloaded child porn or hacked some institution is I presume not the nicest experience.
Right now the answer is "I don't" since both of my cars are b0rked. But I own a Ford Expedition that I originally bought mainly so I could put a bike rack on it and haul my mountain bike, cooler, toolbox, etc. around for mountain biking. My other car is a Mazda RX-8, but when it needed work, I parked it and started driving the Expedition full-time until I blew the engine in it. When that happened, I decided to just go car-less for a while, and walk/bike/Uber/Lyft/bus everywhere for a while. "A while" has turned into over a year now.

All of that said, I plan to order a pre-rebuilt long-block engine and have swapped into the truck, since not having it to haul my bike around is annoying. I'll probably fix the RX-8 at some point as well, but there's no real timetable on it.
This has all kind of happened before with MSN, Yahoo, AOl, etc and the corporations have closed it all off again[0].
I'm not holding out hope for the future. I believe it will be all closed protocols and tightly tied to whatever platform owns the protocol.

[0] Not that it was all that open, but at least we had third party apps.
For Amazon: just apply with another, more content-related blog (for example, your personal blog). And once you're "in" you just add to laptophits.com to it as well. They only vet for initial accounts.

I have an old site that's been making good money of amazon affiliate (for 5-7 years now). I re-applied with that same site, with another, new, affiliate account, and it got rejected. So their whole approval procedure seems quite arbitrary.
I have heard lots of stories of people finding long term partners on Grindr, but I am fed up with searching for someone who looks for a serious relationship among a flood of dick pics and people who did not read my profile even if my profile name was "ReadMyProfile". OkCupid and Tinder led me to more success and half a handful of dates.

I am happy for everyone who is sex positive and enjoys Grindr to it's fullest though, but I believe Grindr is reducing the gay population's interest in monogamous relationship which is what I am looking for.
The reason housing is expensive regardless of technological advances is because it's a people problem, not a technological problem. The people who would benefit the most from cheaper urban housing are not in a position to vote for the policies that would cause that to happen, as the vast majority of them don't live in those cities.

The only way to solve this problem is to wrest control of local policy decisions away from municipal governments and make them instead at the state or national level. Unfortunately, I don't see that happening any time soon, since those already living in cities are much more incentivized to fight to retain the status quo than those who don't live there are incentivized to fight for changes that could hypothetically help them.
There ARE services right now for handling invoicing and dunning. I use churnbuster for the latter currently and it is money well spent.
What's funny is, I had this exact conversation with someone today. If nothing else, at least I am developing an app which will be a livesaver for me! :)

I also appreciate you reading the few post I have put out here. I am on a bit of a tear writing lately as part of a new year resolution to write more and improve my writing. I figured I might as well couple it with my little project.

Anyways, I am fully aware this app won't apply to everyone. The way I look at it is not everyone uses so many social networks that they can't handle posting to all of them right? While this might not seem like a huge problem, Hootsuite solved for it and now they are a unicorn.

I get this is a problem me and a few other people have right now, but I believe it is going to get worse. There will be an app after Snapchat, then after that, and the apps will continue to pile up. As for notification, we have some things in the pipeline to improve over messaging experaince as well.

If I backtrack just a bit, I am actually more of a swiss army knife position who works at a startup. Mainly I do customer service and data analysis though.

Thanks for your input!
I don't drive. I have no need for a car.
Maybe you were unlucky. I haven't had that problem.
Sometimes the medium is the message. Giving someone a call when you could send a message can make the difference. Not only by women.

You are totally right, messaging is going to happen. It is even better for me.
I've worked at companies from 30 people to 300 000 people with a brief period at 5 people consulting agencies.

Startups (past 10 people) are good for hungry young programmers. Easy to get into with limited experience. Lots of exposure to lot of stuff. Opportunities to grow experiences quickly and execute at an incredible pace.

Then leave it. It's only leverage to get a better job. One that does provide sane hours, decent pay, healthcare, parental leave, pension...
There are programs like Big Brothers / Big Sisters. I've heard good things about this type of mentoring and you could make a difference for someone from a younger age probably.

And here i thought this was a statement about the strange rules of sucession in modern western monarchy. Riddle me this: why are women who marry kings made queens while men who marry queens are made only princes?
Perhaps decades later ex CIA operatives in their memoirs might reveal the extent to which the agency was present and involved in the events during that period.
It's naive to think otherwise considering they were all over various banana republics with much less at stake..

Time will tell.
We're solving for the people who use WhatsApp and iMessage.
Hi there! This is exactly the problem we work on daily at the local SF YIMBY coalition (sfyimby.org). If you're interested in making a difference in local SF politics, especially around improving the housing situation, come to one of our meetings! We move votes :)
Nothing reduces sex more to a commodity than a catalog of abs tagged with top/bottom/vers.

I am happy for everyone who is sex positive and enjoys Grindr to it's fullest though, but I believe Grindr is reducing the gay population's interest in monogamous relationship which is what I am looking for.

Yes I put monogamy on a pedestal, but I am aware that the majority of gay men do not or seemingly outright reject monogamy.
One problem is that you can walk on the buses without proving you paid for fare, and the bus drivers have the right to ask but in practice never do. It would likely go up by a bit if they were more strict about it.
I too believe it's mostly political. If some hypothetical SV startup invented a shoebox sized device that cost $100 and when sprinkled with water would unfold into a multi unit residence, we would still be faced with a ton of other issues relating to zoning, particularly density and parking requirements, that would continue to make housing prohibitive.

Also, Americans have been sold on the idea of real estate as an investment and I'm not sure how we will ever get policies that lead to lower housing prices when that essentially means that a large part of the population will have to agree to enact policies that will result in depreciation of their primary asset.
> We didn't know how to talk or study or dress or think the way our peers did. It took me years to learn.

Please tell me everything about this. I teach at a community college and my students come from the middle class, the working class, and the place I can't see.
All the civilian aircraft I've seen have at most two channels. There's a primary frequency which you listen on while you're flying, and you can also keep a second frequency on standby in case you need to communicate with different authorities simultaneously as you follow your route.

You have to switch between frequencies in order to listen and communicate, and there's a toggle that allows you to do this. If you're not tuned to the correct frequency for the airspace you're in, then you're not going to hear any commands from the controllers for your airspace.

It's entirely possible that it was an international flight with a radio not tuned for the correct frequency for the airspace.

What kind of airplanes have you seen with radios that can listen on several frequencies at the same time? Are they large commercial craft?

You're looking for something that isn't easily offered by the app, and yet blame it on the app and the users using it for what it's readily available for. I imagine you see the problem here...
Why not? Putin has tons of media at his disposal - in fact, all media in Russia is at his disposal.
Its a really fascinating problem and if I ever won the powerball I'd take a crack at it. It touches everything, from the fundamental differences between capitalism and communism to the raw math of just how much steel and concrete (or w/e) it would take to give everyone ~30+m^2. Which, when the nominator is all sorted out, inevitably leads to the question of what to do with the denominator.

Realistically we either need a massive borderline miraculous leap forward in materials science and construction technology (like carbon nanofiber weaving spider drones) or a completely different system from capitalism for allocating for basic needs, or a looooot less people. Its not really a space problem at all so much as a energy cost and societal values one.
This is very interesting. Can you recommend a store?
The problem is lots of people want to live in the same areas.
Wait wait wait. Are all screen interfaces the same? You can just replace the motherboard of any brand TV and it will work? Do all panels use the same voltage/pins/protocol? That's huge, if so.
> When I run Windows, I'm deciding to trust it.

I run Windows because I have to for work. I don't trust it.
I blame the app for making it harder to find what I am looking for.
Thanks for the writeup - although I wish there was more substance to it - it's juuust enough to not be an ad. But that's just the taste in my mouth, first impressions sort of thing.

What sales channels did you try, and which were most effective?
In the book, 'The Lean Startup' author Eric Ries actually used this strategy for his messaging company IMVU. Essentially he wanted to do the same thing I am doing, but for MSN, Yahoo, Aim, etc. It ended up being a catastrophic fail in one of the most read books in the startup world. Can you blame anyone for not trying it?!

Though this isn't where I got the idea, I read about it the other day when I had some downtime.

I accept your challenge and will prove the future is in fact quite bright! :)
How did you get the employer to take the chance on you?
Housing is partly a status symbol and those that can afford it often put measures in place to make sure that those they don't want to have living next to them can't afford to. Housing that is affordable for all, will by definition not be attractive for all. You imply the existence of a goal that doesn't actually exist and for which there is no consensus.

Even if that were a goal, you couldn't reach it because there is only so much space. This would be a problem even, if we were to use what space is available, which is usually not the case for political reasons.

Improved technology won't help you and even changing politics wouldn't get you to this.
Sure, but as a bisexaul dude what you speak of happens on Grindr or Tinder or OkCupid.

It's about collecting hook ups and matches that are attractive to you and meet what you seek. No matter the gay or str8 app a good majority of white people seek out attractive white people. This is an unfortunate fact!

Since I'm bi, I use Grindr for hook ups only and have relationships with women. Though most of the women on str8 apps that i want ignore me, so Im busy collecting matches on Grindr and Scruff to hook up with them when the urge hits us both. But, when I found her my focus is her and Im happily monogamous when in a str8 relationship.

Overall dating apps are a negative on our society as its all about looks and the majority judge you and if you don't fit the mold you are ignored. Better to be ignored then to have someone be mean to you though... never be mean... always ignore!!!
except they are not all equal. hence why there's 3 ways to do it.

(Optimizations can change things, but per the spec, they are not the same)

the first creates a new variable with a default value and then copies 0 into it. (This is trivial with an int, but not so with a more complex type)

the second case creates x using the copy constructor

the third uses an initializer list, and works similarly to #2
The same way as you deal with all other kinds of money - you enforce at the transaction points. If you're spending more than you're earning, or your bank account has unexplained cash, the tax man will ask you what's going on.
Economics vs speech. The US sends people to jail if they break laws with regards to the economy (if you're on the wrong side of the status quo), whereas Russia sends people to jail if they philosophically disagree with the status quo.
That was great, wasn't it? Channel switching was instant, why can't we have that now too? :/
Even if we wrested control away from local municipalities, we would still be faced with pushback from homeowners nationwide who don't want to see a reduction in housing prices. I think realistically we'll only see policy improvements on this front when we reach a point were the overwhelming majority of Americans have been priced out of home ownership and no longer view real estate appreciation as personally beneficial.
Why does it have to be urban? As a rural resident I do not understand the attraction. I can walk or bike everywhere that I want to go. Thousands of miles of trails branch out in every direction depending on my heart's content. Farms within easy distance produce a bounty to enjoy, including world class beer. I am not sure why the growing trend toward global mega-cities is in our best interest.
Mostly modern Perl but I was happy without the OOP so Moose and friends were no big deal for me. Catalyst I always considered a lumbering beast with no chance of competing with Ruby on Rails. I'm saying Clojure was easy for me because I'd favoured the procedural Perl way for many years so wasn't so infected with the OOP mindset.
> For example, how would you rank these behaviors in terms of risk levels?

Under 1% for all examples given.
This reminds me of the time when I managed to diagnose a packet storm issue after two days of methodically excluding software then hardware followed by tracing each Ethernet cable to the switch. Turned out that the re-connection of the cables caused a network loop within a dumb switch, ala packet storm !
I'm pretty sure they have to find the downloaded files or traces of them on your machine. Just the fact that your IP did something is not enough for prosecution (though might be enough for a search and seizure)

I use Uber for the most part: I'm outsourcing dealing with LA traffic to my driver and I get more time to work on my business (laptop and mobile phone hotspot).
On Tinder and OkCupid people usually read my profile unless they can not read German. The rate of people fetishizing me for my abs is significantly lower on those platforms as well.
I have NEVER been asked about what's my preferred position in bed on them.
They avoid looking low over the horizon.
The features you mention all should stand the tale of time in the messaging world and I safe it's safe to assume we will incorporate all of them eventually.

Incredible insights on companies fighting for market share. This is leading to all of the innovation now, and soon the dust will settle. At which point, we can sweep in and offer something unique to the common user!

> Their respective business models?

I was expecting some details about why these business models are far, far worse.

> So let me rephrase - you can't make software and/or a webpage without having to deal with Apple and Google in some way.

If you exclude extra-vague words "is some way", yes you can. Of corse, you'd come into contact with software made by these companies from time to time, but that software would be just like any other you use, regardless of their business model.

> You're either going to have to put it in the app store

No I don't. I've been gainfully employed as a software developer for more than 2 decades now and never put anything in any app store.

> you're going to have to make that webpage work with crappy Safari

I've not have to deal with browser compat issues for many years now, but if they exist I'm pretty sure that a) there are toolkits to deal with them, and b) that has nothing to do with business model, every browser has its quirks, including Firefox (in fact, last 2 times I had to deal with browser compat issues the Firefox was the problem and it worked fine in Chrome and Safari - of course, nobody cared about IE).
How about expecting that DB doesn't bind to 0.0.0.0 by default and to force passwords to be set during the installation? Is that such an unreasonable thing to expect?
I know a company that got hit by this. Through some mistake in configuration, they exposed their mongodb. What I understand is that the ransom request is a total scam, they didn't download or encrypt any data, just ran the drop command and inserted the ransom message.

But they didn't hit the oplog/journal, fortunately the full history (a few months of data) was still in the journal, so they were able to replay it (minus the drop commands) and restored their data.

Certainly scared a lot of people and (hopefully) taught a lesson about double-checking what's exposed to the internet.
The "Crash Cows" one is absolutely horrifying.
I am very aware of the benefits to urban living, but i do wonder if humans are inherently happier living in high density environments. I feel like the benefits of urban living are less crucial if the human population was prevented from growing or even reduced with time.

We had a similar thing happen with our cable... we'd get high upload latency and packet loss when it rained.

Turned out that the contractor who replaced the coax on our block didn't use the right grade of cable... the weight of the water plus wind would stretch the cable and open a crack in the housing.
I have a degree on graphic design and now work as a senior designer and developer. I work on a lot of digital projects but also design books (mostly artist books), identities and typefaces.

My job is quite interesting because I lead both design and development for most of the projects I work on. Each process informs the other, for example being aware of what's going on in the development world can help establish and hopefully push limitations in the design process.

I've found clients really appreciate someone who understands why design decisions have been made as well as how that design will function and the process of implementation. I can usually talk a client through an entire project without having to check in with a different department to see if x is possible or how long y will take.

However it is very difficult to find employers who are looking for someone like me, everyone seems to want one or the other. So I can't hop between companies so easily and my salary has pretty much stagnated as a result.
Well... considering Light Bulbs can now be infected over the air:

http://boingboing.net/2016/11/09/a-lightbulb-worm-could-take...

I would agree odds are low of something that insidious... but it's hard to say "it'd be impossible for my TV to get hacked" when even light bulbs are getting attacked.
Hillary Clinton is a security disaster that already happened.
We are trying to solve for this issue. We have gotten the feedback you stated before and now we are trying to make it so each of integrations can hold on to some unique aspect within our app. We completely understand every native app has a different feel. It is like having conversations a school to a professor (school email) to having a conversation at a bar (Snapchat). We believe we will be able to create certain environments within our app to hold on the environment of native apps.
Huh? I don't think you realize what either I or the GP are saying. I'm asking whether the LED/LCD panel on all TVs use the same protocol to drive the pixels, which is how it would be possible for the GP to replace his motherboard with a generic alternative.
Could someone explain what is her overall position on global climate change is? Of the various positions I have seen advocated by skeptics, is it:

We can be certain the climate is not getting warmer.

The climate might or might not be getting warmer.

The climate is getting warmer, but it definitely has some other cause than human action.

The climate is getting warmer, and it might or might not be due to human actions.

The climate is getting warmer, and it is due at least to a considerable extent to human actions, but this will be on the whole good for the human race.

The climate is getting warmer, but it will have no overall impact on human well-being.

The climate is getting warmer, and it will be harmful, but it ought to be dealt with by free enterprise with little or no government action.

Or several other positions I have not mentioned.

Also, what does she think of those who hold one of the positions above that she does not hold--does she think they are irrational and ill-informed?
Whenever and wherever I read "rock solid" I stop reading... I hate that expression so much!
Could you, please, provide more details on this? I'm searching for the same solution. I'm planning a blogger-like static site generator. All media will be on external resources, and I want to keep maintenance price to a minimum (preferably zero) cost. Thanks.
