One thing about RubyMotion that to me is a kind of massive failure is that while I love Ruby a lot, when learning iOS, the IDE is massively helpful.

Objective-C is verbose and maybe terrible, but code completion, type checking, etc. is really useful, especially when you are learning the API's.

My experience playing with RubyMotion was that I would end up reading the docs constantly to learn how to do things in Objective-C and then translate those ideas to Ruby.

Now that Swift exists the argument for Ruby on iOS is a bit weaker. I like that RubyMotion is supporting Android soon and that will help a ton, but I think for most devs, just learning Swift and getting good with the native tools will be better in the long run than deep diving on RubyMotion.

That being said, I hope RubyMotion continues to do well. Choice is good and for some people, I'm sure RubyMotion is the best thing since sliced bread.

That's not correct. The way you accumulate credits lets you run for a full hour at 100% CPU, once every 10 hours. So if you have a lightly loaded server most of the day, you can burst to 100% CPU for 2+ hours per day.
Thank you!
I wholeheartedly agree with your points.

How ironic it is then that the article lamenting the ability of "smart people" to "convincingly rationalize nearly anything" may, in a sense, itself be a rationalization of the author's own perceived smartness (as well as the smartness of those that might identify with him).

This is, of course, not to say that there are no good points in the article itself - there certainly are.
It's interesting to juxtapose all the bitcoin articles with this kind of story..

This looks like it's a reaction to (and effective solution for) the problem with t1 instances that made them largely useless (or a gamble at best) due to sharing a CPU with instances that run at full load all the time.
this is very impress me, everyone show their own resumes in HN. I learn a lot in here, thank you.
While I am firmly in the "ProtonMail is snake oil" camp, this is obviously a stupid move on PayPal's part (why are people even still using them?). Even if the old idiotic export control laws were in place (they are not, and Paypal should know that, since it uses TLS and doesn't check the physical location of the counterparties before negotiating an encrypted session with them), it's not even clear to me that ProtonMail would be subject to them, since they are based in Switzerland (assuming their technology was developed in Switzerland). Are they even US citizens?

Because all these services ask you for your phone number and shift the conversation to your phone, while with Calloud the conversation takes place in your computer and you don't have to give away your phone number. So, instead of interacting with your computer at the same time you are using your phone, everything happens on your browser. It is a more fluid and better experience.

US Banks are defacto part of the Federal Reserve which a quasi dept of the government.

So any "investigation" into a US bank is like an Internal Investigation, and we all know how those work... can you say coverup?
Does this look like it has the backing of the law to you? It looks a lot like when Amazon received a phone call to shut down Wikileaks. I imagine the same happened here - just a phone call to the right people inside Paypal.

If the actual law was being involved, we'd see some kind of legal notice at the very least. And even then it would be a BS request that could easily be challenged.

It's much easier to prosecute money laundering than it is to prosecute stupidity. Some people did illegal stuff way back then and got totally destroyed (see what we did to the mortgage brokers). That didn't extend to the vast majority of people though because they were just stupid, not criminal.

A couple of down sides of web components:

- they interact poorly with requirejs and amd in general.

- they flat out dont work at all in IE8

- there's no 'good' solution for the request hell you get from loading 50 components; although some of the tooling is getting there (vulcanize).

- the tooling in general is currently rubbish; no way to easily combine sass + jade + coffee into a web component (eg. with gulp, no the dart bindings don't count as tooling). no way to have external resource files.

...but despite that all, they're fantastically productive, great for testable ui, great for making reusable elements you can use in multiple projects.

Short answer is: yes, unless you have to support IE8.
I have a Haskell project that exposes some NLP experiments in a Yesod web app. I would also like to provide a REST interface, so this looks good.

That said, I found nothing in the documentation for using this with Yesod and the developers seem to best support happstack.

I am a newbie at using Haskell for web apps, so I need to dig into the possibility of mixing happstack and Yesod in one app.

I noticed that clear trend as well.

Just off the top of my head... I think that foreign banks do not have local political weight to throw around because they do not give many political donations and are not part of the revolving door of political appointments from the banking industry to the various regulatory agencies.
And yet the chart is pretty clearly presented as a time-series. I think "well, he just used Excel defaults..." is a better argument for the prosecution than the defense.
It seems some intellectuals take pride in being difficult to understand. As if that difficulty is proof of their intelligence. So they use big words and write big ideas, and wonder why so few others appreciate their brilliance. The truth is that it is often harder to make the big ideas easy than it is to make them hard, and that the goal of the people who do the latter is not to spread knowledge but to show off just how clever they are. I dislike this sort of writing for exactly that reason (and, interestingly, it is almost exactly this sort of writing which Orwell took to task in "Politics and the English Language"), that it is more interested in being noticed than in being understood.
I've often wondered this too. It seems to me that more times than not Paypal freezes an account on a "whim". Almost like they are unsure if they would or wouldn't face legal ramifications later so they just freeze it to be safe. People backlash they unfreeze but at the end of the day they have suffered nothing except people being mad at them...

The biggest problem with Bitcoin being taken seriously as a currency is its investment value. If there is anyone using it to pay for goods and services, then they are most likely buying back the amount they spent. So there is not much reason to use this on sites like newegg.

I enjoyed it. I also finished the other two books in the series which ties it all together. I can see where the reviews would be very binary though. It brings up some possibly controversial scenarios which requires some suspension of disbelief. It's almost Fantasy more than Science Fiction in that regard.
