I'd forgotten about the NYC blue coffee cups, but yes, I think that was the case in the past, or at least, it is according to wikipedia. Here's a link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthora

I'm assuming these guys are targeting the more shi-shi fru-fru latte scene and not your blue collar cuppa cha which I associate with the anthora cups.
I'm the type that throws data into c:\[MyProject] sort of directories - do you know if it works well with that?

I've taken to partitioning my computer to OS and user data partitions, so when I upgrade or migrate I can preserve the user data partition easily.
We considered using Olark for a client's website one time but, at the time, their embed code didn't work properly with Google Tag Manager. Whilst we ended up using another service, I did receive an email from Olark a few months later saying that they had addressed the issue, which I appreciate.
I used to work in defense electronics and I'd see the huge boards where we hand-assembled mil-spec wiring harnesses. I don't want to say they were easy but it was surprisingly low tech as far as measurement, lacing, etc.

One of the problems of course with all this mode changing is that software has to support it. Look at all the weeping over supporting a few Android screen sizes, now throw in keyboarding, vs. touchscreen vs. whatever input device and the complexity gets pretty crazy. It would definitely require a big change in software development practices.
Have been completely engrossed in this most of the day. Hope it's done soon or I'll have to go cold turkey.
That would disqualify Backbone too.
A thousand times yes. Muffwiggler is the place to be.
I’m a IT department of one so I get a lot of those "reset password" requests and have to do a lot of hand holding I feel I should not have to do. Its 2014 and a certain level of computer literacy should be expected of you if you want to function in corporate America. (or whatever country you are from). I have a Masters of Science in IT Security, a B.S. in electronic engineering and my RHCE with 10 years experience and feel that being pulled away from "real work" to reset a password is extremely annoying. However its a lot less annoying when the client services team is not available and the receptionist passes the call directly to me. In most cases the client tends to be very friendly and thankful and makes you want to help them.

The problem with this is geeks are generally not business people and do not know if the client is up-to-date on their billing or if they are notorious for trying to get free work and need to be kept in check. When I do take personal interest in solving a clients issue I risk promising things I should not be promising them or putting way more time and effort into a client who is already behind on billing than I should be.

I also have a very hard time quoting a client an appropriate amount. I work for a interactive and design agency and when you work with us you have a team of individuals working for you including but not limited to an account manager, producer, designers, art directors, user experience, strategy, front end developers, back end developers, system administration in some cases. Having a team of 5-10 specialists working for you is expensive. Just having a 1hr meeting with everybody is probably going to get billed at around $1000. I feel really weird giving clients numbers like this and responding to the sticker shock.
"Pick the most unsafe environment", followed by pictures of a house, a park, a volcano, a bed.

My sense is that IBM's Watson could tackle this particular question. Also interesting to note that the question introduces external considerations, such as whether or not there's someone dangerous near the house, bed, park, etc. A human respondent will have to ignore the matter of whether there's additional context and second-guess the captcha author to get the problem right -- presumably the most unsafe environment is the volcano.

Interesting, but are people actually using this?

Here in the San Jose area I can also get groceries delivered by at least Safeway, Walmart, Google and Instacart (I might be missing some). But personally I'm not using this and I don't know anybody using it.
I think that is also one of the reasons why public corporations are so heavily influenced by Wall Street in their decisions, and why they strive to reach certain quarterly goals in order to "meet the forecasts". If it was reported more like "forecasts miss the revenue", I think companies would be under less pressure from Wall Street to perform "at least as well as the expectations" every quarter.
We use Backbone with a view layer that we wrote on top of it called Ribcage: http://github.com/techwraith/ribcage-view

Backbone walks the line between framework and a collection of modules really well. It gives you just enough to be productive without being overly complex or restrictive. If you go the Backbone route, here's some pointers:

- Make sure you have a system in place for model management, having multiple models around for the same data can be a nightmare

- Backbone views are a bit too simple most of the time, you'll want to at least add a view hierarchy system and lifecycle events/methods.

- You can use the router for as much or as little as you'd like, don't feel like you have to have a new URL for every state in your app.
I guess its similar to fivetran? (https://www.fivetran.com/)
I'm going all in on Angular, even building a big open source project around it (http://ionicframework.com/). What really drew me in was hearing from developers that were using it at big, slow companies for entire teams building production apps.

Officially adopting a technology like that is pretty rare, and I guessed Angular had started to achieve a level of adoption that would make it the most worthwhile to invest in.

I also wrote more about how I think it's going to be huge, which I admit sounds best if you already love angular :) http://ionicframework.com/blog/angularjs-will-be-huge/

I wonder a lot at how much our modern "ills" are really a product of our modern lives

This is why I caution you against confirmation bias. The modern life also allows plenty of people who weren't previously viable to achieve adulthood. I'm not talking about Spartan exposure of sick infants (which is an outlier), but that people with sensitive constitutions were more easily taken young by disease in the first place. The high infant mortality of the past is a significant example.
A repost with the name of the company mis-spelled?
Living in (most part's of) NYC it's pretty easy to just walk a few blocks and be in a grocery store. I actually enjoy grocery shopping, it's where I get ideas about what to cook or discover ingredients I've never used before.

This probably would be most useful in locations encompassing food deserts, but of course it looks like they're largely targeting affluent neighborhoods.

Yes. Machine vision has advanced a lot in recent years and it might just be possible. There is at least one startup trying to make self-driving cars with just machine vision.

Computing the differences between several cameras can be a judge of distance, but you can also see how much the object moves as the car moves, and get an estimate based on normal machine vision (how big objects like that normally are, objects nearby it, where it's shadow is, etc.)
the [LEBRON stack](http://lebron.technology/) using many small npm modules is my favorite, but i add Backbone and React when i'm working with others who want something more framework-y.

The MathWorks (makers of MATLAB & Simulink) do this too. For their new hires coming from an MSc/PhD, you spend the first 12-24 months in the Tech Support group as a Tier I with a rotating schedule of 1 week of phone/email support and the next week spent working on a project of your choice with one of the many Dev/QA/BaT/doc/etc groups. The idea is that once you've completed a handful of different projects, you've had a chance to figure out what you like to work on, what group you'd like to work with, and the groups get a chance to see what it's like to work with you for several months on a real project. Once you've been there for 12-24 months you typically apply for a job somewhere else in the org, although some people find that they enjoy doing support and move up into Tier II/III. It's not like doing support for Comcast, you get to talk to a lot of smart people with interesting/challenging questions and issues :)
At the same time, it runs into some significant risks if it does it. As others have mentioned, the p2p service can put significant burdens on low-bandwidth customers, customers on metered connections, etc. Especially with video, Quality of Service problems can cause more expensive customer service problems than what savings you'd have with lower bandwidth costs.
Interesting the difference between this article and other articles reporting on more recent hacks. Those articles always point out how much jail time the hacker is facing.

MetaFilter is a web forum that charges $5 to create an account. Between that and aggressive but professional moderation, spam basically doesn't happen since a couple of obvious spam comments and you're permabanned.

However, it limits the user population to people with a debit card and $5 to spend. A bitcoin-based solution right now would be even more restrictive, since apart from buying bitcoin in person, you pretty much need a bank account to acquire them.

You're indeed correct that Moto attempted something similar with the Atrix.

As a onetime Moto Webdock owner though, I'll attest to the fact that the grandparents dream is far from realized. At the time, the phone was simply too underpowered to provide a usable experience running just a browser (outdated Firefox at that). I picked the accessory up on Craigslist and it quickly found a resting place in my closet -- it was neat, but only in the proof of concept sense.

I'd love to see a company attempt something similar with today's hardware. A phone like the Nexus 5 / HTC One could provide a pretty slick experience, given enough RAM.
Do you know jQuery inside out? If not, you should learn that before you worry about higher level frameworks.

I would ask my friends here on Hacker News to be cautious about taking the statements in that book at face value without a lot of careful follow-up.[1] And I write that, with chagrin, as a participant here who previously submitted an opinion piece by the author to Hacker News, where it reached the front page and sparked a lot of discussion. The claims in the book are very far from settled science, and many of the anecdotes have not been independently verified or replicated.

Is the store's scan resolution decent? The last time I asked about that sort of service (a few years ago), they only offered scans at some completely awful resolution, e.g. ~1k pixels across...
Perhaps they meant an ORM instead of crud.
It doesn't really make sense to compare this number with other companies in the same sector. Long-term, the stock price needs to reflect the actual income and growth of the company. Otherwise we are in "greater fool" territory. There is good reason to be skeptical of Amazon's valuation, and that of many other tech companies.

(Not that for the record, I am almost exclusively a growth investor in the speculative part of my portfolio).

Google still has room to grow, though. I am actually more worried about Facebook's risk/reward profile.
I am quite well aware of that, in part because I and my oldest son are both individuals who could have easily died quite young without ...quite a lot of things modern peoples take for granted. I don't see how that rebuts any of my questions. Wondering about -- call it "side effects" of modern life -- in no way dismisses the benefits we do have.
These sort of grocery store operated delivery businesses exist pretty much everywhere in the US from what I have seen. They usually aren't advertised, but you can ask about them. I believe they are primarily used by the elderly, handicapped, carless, etc.

When I was in university, a few hundred miles away from my car, I would use the delivery services for very large orders (like 50 liters of seltzer water, or similar). Typically there is a minimum order size, a small service fee, and an expectation that you'll tip the delivery person (who is usually just a grocery store employee who is using their personal car).
I use USAA and tend to agree with you, however I think USAA is just that much better than an average bank - they've let you use scanners and phones to deposit checks for what seem like ages at this point, you can do everything online easily, there aren't weird fees, easy to transfer money to other USAA members, etc.

That said, the one thing all banks have in common that seems really dated is the ACH Deposit system. And I'm not sure it can be replaced just by making a new bank.
If you are fully in python, then please take a look at http://github.com/nucleic/enaml - it requires few extra modules (kiwi in C++ which is cassowary constraint system for UI widgets), and atom (python + C++):

But it has exactly what Visual Studio has, and a bit more:

http://nucleic.github.io/enaml/docs/examples/ex_dock_area.ht...

I've started porting this system to C++, but gave up after realizing how much I had to do (spent a week on it, and couldn't do more).

I've chose a much simpler (again written in python) system that has some missing features (does not keep proportions, and it's not visually that appealing) - but it works in general.

It's part of http://github/pyqtgraph/pyqtgraph

Example for Pyqtgraph - http://www.pyqtgraph.org/images/flowchart.png

I have translated this one, except that my (C++ ported) version is currently leaking memory, which eventually would get fixed.

Hope this helps!
> As far as I know, it's the forecast that missed the reality.

I believe what you are inferring is a called "prediction", not a forecast.

> It's incredible how twisted some vocabulary has become.

Context is everything. Let me try to simplify the financial terminology:

A company forecasts it's key statistics based on the internal finance team (for revenues, they'll work with sales to validate this for example). The market dictates the price of the stock based on the growth potential of the company. Stock price is a reflection of a firms ability to both grow (revenues) and control growth (forecasting). In other words, as an investor, I'm more likely to buy stock that is both predictable (rather, that it's forecastable) and has growth. In this specific case the forecast was incorrect, and thus they are being penalized for it.

This is also why P/E ratios are so high for tech companies because their growth potential is generally seen as much high than non-tech. In other words they scale much faster than non tech.

You can express those feelings without being harsh, insulting, abrasive, etc. Take a chill pill and think about whether adding all this negativity to the discussion actually makes things better.

It does add to the discussion. The strong language highlights the predatory behavior better than kind words would. OChurch is simply a few decades ahead of his time in the sort of business behavior he will tolerate. Its like if you went back to the 50's and started calling out the rampant sexism using today's language!
Backbone offers some base objects/classes around Models, Views and Collections but does not enforce any specific architecture. It's completely up to you how you use it.
Actually, people should know JavaScript better before even hearing about jQuery... I lost count of how many times I heard people saying they know how to "program in jQuery" and that made me really sad/angry regarding how people lack curiosity and knowledge in their own field...

I'm confused. It sounds like you're saying

is the same as

if (condition) stuff(); other_stuff();

because the brackets don't change the functionality, but they do. I might be misreading what you're saying though.
