I think Facebook could be much better (for users) if they hadn't IPO'd. Also, I don't think anyone really likes Facebook, it's just too big to fail. There's inherent conflict between profit and user experience (including privacy) in ad-based business models.
The law indeed forced those companies to bring policies up to highly disputable standards, which for all practical purposes amounts to canceling them and requiring enrollment in much more expensive plans - that is indeed what I'm complaining about.
IMHO this seems like building a better apple by making it taste like an orange. This could definitely be useful for storing json from javascript frameworks like backbone/angular/ember, but I don't see how this is going to improve the lives of PostgreSQL users in general. Hopefully this leads to some weird cool emergent use case that make PostgreSQL way better than other databases, but I'm not sure at this point that it will. Does anybody have more context on the long-game for this approach? I'm not sure what the goal is for adding this feature.

There is no reason why both cannot be true.

If all you see are reports about people's rates going up, then you are in a filter bubble - just like everyone else who consumes a majority of their news through personalized online sources. There are people in neighboring filter bubbles whose ACA-related stories are almost entirely about people saving money because of the new exchanges.
In this thread we get to see who's been coding in a bubble for the last 5 years.
Think about what you're asking for by implication.

Constraint-free purchase of health insurance would mean that I could sell you health insurance that would 'insure' that you could only be doctored by me, on my yoga mat, with a chainsaw. Someone less principled than me would have the same idea --- or one like it --- and sell a billion innocent souls a false comfort and a dangerous service. So someone would. Like someone has already sold those same people fake food that's killing them.

Do you like alive citizens, or dead ones? The utopia you seek may be for the machines and the undertakers. And the undertakertrons.
It's simple, really. If your economy depends on 'growth' to sustain itself, it's not going to happen, or it's going to be from the growth of immigration. As you see in Italy, they are becoming quite racist as africans and muslims immigrate.
It isn't turned on by default just like it was in MongoDB initially.
That's not how flat ui design works. You can make single-color boxes and it won't look modern. Flat UI is about beautiful color palettes that are well matched and which convey the proper information without over embellishing. A few good examples:

I think that ship sailed when the President himself started calling it Obamacare.

It's a controversial topic on its substance; the name does not change that either way.
I predicted things like this were being used. My rough logic is that when you see directly observible evidence of an entity (Republicans and/or Tea Party in Congress, or whatever you wish to label them) engaging in a DoS attack against the American people out in the open -- in the form of the repeated attempts to shutdown the Federal government and risk defaults, etc -- it's even easier to believe the same kinds of people will be arranging for DoS under the covers, through more shady means.

Not that I'm saying these DoS attacks are effective, or even a significant factor. I don't have enough data to know. But I have no doubt they were at least attempted.
Disappointed they didn't go with TWIT for the stock symbol.
This seems like the opposite of options. (Not that it doesn't seem like a pretty nice tool -- if for nothing else than jsfiddle on steroids.)

What I did: 1) Use the latest Postgres (9.3) 2) use Rails4 - this provides String/Integer Arrays, HStore, UUIDs out of the box 3) use post_json (https://github.com/webnuts/post_json).

These tools made it simpler to do things like tagging, user-defined data attributes, hierarchical data, flexible configuration data.

It was always possible to store much of this data using text fields and JSON.parse (or some such), but the new Postgres stuff makes the flexible datatypes queryable. And as built-in support for flexible data types comes online, you can throw away your custom serializers.

There's other Postgres datatypes that I haven't used - for geocoding/geosearching, network addresses, etc.
While I totally agree with your proposed change, I don't think that fixes the system as a whole - especially if it were the only change to the pre-ACA state of affairs.
It would be cool with in modern web development there were a tool that allowed you to design webpages as easily as you could design UI in VB3. Just saying.
No, what's going to happen is SaaS companies are going to stop supporting old browsers and their webapps won't work in the browser the IT department is clinging to, the IT department heads will get fired and replaced by people who do a better job prioritizing. "Let's keep using IE8 because it's the newest browser to correctly run that app we developed in 2002" is going to cost people jobs.

Actually, they came from very smart, well intentioned people, who thought everyone would program Lisp in this century. And of course never saw C (and all its related family of languages) coming and ruling for decades.

All these rules make sense for Lisp, and no sense at all for C.

And they did wrote the parser that applies those rules, in Emacs you never indent Lisp code, you press a key and the current s-expr automagically indents better than you could ever dream of doing it.
IE11 has crazy regressions in keyframe animations and transitions. Stuff that worked fine in IE10 and every other browser on the planet now requires voodoo like using settimeout to delay for a magical number of ms before setting certain style properties.
Well, two days ago, they owned n shares of assets that were sellable for $46 a share. Now they have n * 26.

They lost out, just as if I took your $20k new car and gave you $10k, you'd have lost out even though you have more cash.
Akamai's numbers are simple % of requests, which means 'hits'. So, a single Chrome user visiting 10 pages that happen to make 100 CDN requests is counted 10x as much as an IE user that visits 2 pages that happen to make 10 CDN requests. In short, the numbers are useless if you're looking for % of visitors.

NetMarketShare uses visitors, which is preferable if you're looking at percentage of users, which is what we're discussing here.

Quoting from the Wikipedia article [1] on the same:

President Obama endorsed the nickname, saying, "I have no problem with people saying Obama cares. I do care."[2] Because of the number of "Obamacare" search engine queries, the Department of Health and Human Services purchased Google advertisements, triggered by the term, to direct people to the official HHS site.[3] In March 2012, the Obama reelection campaign embraced the term "Obamacare", urging Obama's supporters to post Twitter messages that begin, "I like #Obamacare because...".[4]

Well, they claim its because of the individual mandate (you must have health insurance). This idea has been the sole thing the Democrats and Republicans have disagreed on since the late 80s. The Democrats didn't want it, the Republicans didn't want health care reform without it. Now Obama really wanted to pass health care reform, so him and the Democratic strategists sat down and decided to adopt the idea of an individual mandate. This pissed off the Republicans since it meant they had nothing to complain about without looking like a dick, so they decided to abandon the idea. OE they are just racist dicks. I know few of the more vocal advocates for an individual mandate were asked why they are Noe against it and they basically said Obama shouldn't have supported it and left it at that.

If twitter never makes money, you're mostly right. If twitter eventually makes enough money to justify its share price, you're wrong.
All in all, looks like a reasonable IPO. Some delays.
Basically trading 45-46, I could see it dropping off some tomorrow.

Mostly I think we'll see shares/profits of SF oriented luxury good companies go up, and possibly a rise in SFBA housing prices.

Yeah, code review is great...until you find out that some of your reviewers are rubber-stamping the commits from their favorites, and a large percentage of the rest are doing a sub-standard job of reviewing, and pretty much everyone is just barely finding the time to do the (decidedly un-fun) chore of reviewing code, instead of writing code. So you're back to the root cause of the problem: you have to hire good people.

Truly careless employees will (ironically) work hard to find ways around any system that you put in place to prevent carelessness. There are no magic bullets.
The way your frontpage is built, it looks like a claim of what you currently provide. It's also odd that you show the DHL and TNT logos on the front page but don't actually support them yet.

It doesn't. In fact, F# feels like it started off as a fairly pure functional language but some Microsoft PM said "it has to support every API in .NET" and so a lot of OOP stuff was bolted on the side. It feels like 2 different worlds in one language. You can easily get by never using the impure stuff but it's still there, taking up space.
Well... I can't see a fault in your logic.

Maybe you remember the dot-com boom in 1999? It looked somehow similar.

Isn't the supposed purpose of an investment bank to properly value the company so that these massive IPO pops don't happen?

The fact that they happen at all means the banks are not good at what they do, or they do it on purpose so they can distribute wealth to their desired parties.
I agree with many of the responses here as well. The actual name, which I believe has tent titled parts [0], is a bit of marketing copy as well. But at least it's marketing copy that relates to the substance of the act.

Calling it Obamacare makes it personal, and this is about much more than Obama taking care of all of us.

I'd love to see a neutral name for the legislation itself. I am starting to call it "the current health care legislation".

And, the formatter accepts a tabs option.
Actually, if you have an account at various retail brokers such as Schwab and Ameritrade, they have a trade IPO capability. For run-of-the-mill IPOs, it isn't a big deal and retail investors can get an allocation. For high-profile ones such as this one, you'll have to be an account holder with lots of money under their management and generate a lot of revenue for them to get preference in the allocation process.
A good "flat" design needs to be designed from the ground up. You can just remove gradients and shadows and expect to have an intuitive ux.
As an anecdote, we signed up my inlaws for $2/month after subsidies. Until now they couldn't afford the $900/month so they didn't have insurance. I'd say that's pretty affordable, almost free.
The reason to call it a spectrum is that the affected have often the same underlying mental and behavioral patterns, but spread across a wide range of severity from high functioning to uncommunicative.

I don't know how helpful it is to draw fine distinctions when the causes and effects of autism are still so poorly understood. For the non-expert, becoming aware that there are many people with related conditions of speech, social, and motor delays and disabilities is a much more important bridge to cross.

I basically buy DSM-V's decision to lump all the autism spectrum disorders under one label for now. It is an acknowledgment that up to now, calling someone Autism Spectrum Disorder or Asperger's Syndrome or Pervasive Development Disorder - Not Otherwise Specified was a highly subjective distinction without a difference. But it did make a difference in terms of the conditions health insurance would cover, to the detriment of the ASD person.
As an interested non-American, how would that change the system?
It's on the Roadmap ;)
I think you're actually talking about a very different situation than the source.

The source is dealing with subordinates in each case while you're dealing with peers.

I've been in both positions.

In the case of co-workers whom you have little or no influence over, yeah "get the fuck out" is likely great advice.

In the case of subordinates, or any situation where you have the power/latitude to address things from the top down it makes sense to address the processes in place.

That said, sometimes the process that needs addressing is the identification, swift firing and future avoidance of individual bullshitters and assholes.
> borderline breach of fiduciary duty.

Fiduciary duty to who? The shareholders that cashed in today are the same ones who are behind the IPO. You're trying to make it seem like some poor distant shareholder got screwed over, which is not true.

Agreed, though I don't want to see people merely stand their ground, I want to see them engage with adversarial opinions. I want both of us to have the possibility of learning where we got it wrong. Leaving in a huff is even worse than standing your ground.

The idea that this makes one "Guardian readers/conspiracy nuts" is laughable.
It is critical they force churn of healthy young people so they can jack up the prices. that is what the whole Act is predicated on. the more young, health people with cheap plans tha exist, the more the act fails. those plans were not priced to subsize the aca's higher risk pool. that is why the "keep your existing plan" lie is/was so pernicious. the entire thing was a subterfuge, as behind the scence the gov't was <planning> the system to <intentionally churn> people off existing plans. the evidence is quite strong on this...sorry.
Because one of those browsers is a core component of the operating system, used in a ton of places and embeddable by other programs which means a major update can potentially break a lot of things. And the others are just standalone programs that only have to worry about their own performance.
Yup, that's possible. I'm betting the VP who wants to use Gmail is going to overrule the IT department head though.
Interesting; how is it that employees are able to trade right after the IPO? I thought there was a waiting period for insiders.
The problem is he doesn't know he is making the sacrifices.

MongoDB marketing sloppy and promises "webscale" while hand waving partition-tolerance way.

After the whole "let's disable durable write to make our benchmarks faster" I just can't see trusting them with data I want to actually read back from the database. It might be good for probabilistic storage or stats reporting. It sort of because an issue of trust more than anything.
So, do you have evidence that congressmen or members of their staff are doing this? Pulling $#@ out of your ass ins't rough logic. It's just that...

I work for a major F500 company and while they are currently not allowing any new remote employees, there are still thousands of us. My team is all over the country and I don't have an office to go into.

Honestly when I first started working from home for them years ago, I figured more and more companies would embrace it and it would become much more commonplace. They did it to save money having to house employees somewhere, but I guess other companies don't see it that way. It works wonderfully for getting work done during your own schedule and still be there with your family. Though I still find it amusing when I walk the dog and it's just me and the retirees.

The term "Obamacare" has no semantic relation to your critiques whatsoever, so it's not more accurate at all.

If you really want to be both more accurate and more true to your critiques, try something like "ExpensiveCare" or "ConstrainedSupplyCare" or "BubbleDemandCare" or something like that. I could even see critics attempting something like "UnfairCare", referencing the fact that young healthy people with incomes are now paying for old/unhealthy/indigent people's healthcare in addition to their own.

But "Obamacare" is silly, non-descriptive, purely partisan, and universally detracts from any conversation about it.

That is what I do as well, I'm considering purchasing Bee based on my trial of it this morning. My only concern is in keeping enough clients around that I need to use it! But actually, for me, this is the kind of native client I didn't know I needed (I spend way too much time in Jira...) and that it hooks into GitHub as well is a big selling point, since that's pretty much how I divide my personal work from client work. The interface is slick, although there seems to be some stuttering when I move the window. I'll probably buy it when I get my next paycheck. And maybe if I write a blog post about my own app that has sold 12 copies, I'll sell a few more! ;)
Breaking Ground Adults without Diplomas
Sometimes it is just the public taking the fall. In this case, the loss making company has been growing revenues 100% a year so there is a chance joe public will end up doing ok. Even with the disaster that was the Facebook IPO, if you held for a little over a year you'd be up nicely.

Also joe public isn't really joe public. Joe public is hedge funds and pension funds controlled by professionals. Your 401k or pension might have some twitter, but in that case it was a professional making the call. Regular twitter users aren't bidding the stock up. They make up a small part of overall trading activity.
Interesting - although it's worth pointing out that it's about half of private sector GDP, not half of US GDP. Also, I'm not sure I'd call a business with over 100 employees "small", but I guess that's the definition they're going with.

Along those lines, I'm curious how flat design looks to those who are color blind (8% of men), as it seems to rely primarily on color for distinguishing various UI elements.
Theoretically. In practice you're going to get margin called and locked into a loss of approximately 100%.
Publicly admitting a plan to "make a bunch of mistakes" under another giant company's trademarked brand may not be wise.
I would say generally the market recently in IPOs has been losing the banks money, so you're at least wrong there. I do wish the public had a chance to invest in rapidly growing things like Twitter earlier - let's say 2010.
I understand but that goes for just about every marketing campaign. If I want a threesome, the answer is not to saturate myself with a can of Axe.
