I'm surprised there was no mention of Google Polymer in this article (and very little in the comments). As I understand it, one of the big reasons why Angular wasn't backwards compatible is that they wanted to remove directives and opt for a more web-components-compatible approach. Having worked with Polymer during the past few months, I'm very impressed with its modularity and the simplicity one can achieve because of how each component's features are well-encapsulated.
QQ's emoticons (the 70-or-so yellow base set plus a few others) are indeed incredible. Somehow, for every single feeling you want to convey at any time of the day, you will find one and exactly one matching icon. It's like they created a perfect bijection. And they did this while keeping the icons perfectly readable on small low-resolution screens, and with animation frames you can count on one hand. I have no idea who the original artists are but they have my eternal respect.

The drop in emoticon quality was the second worst thing with going back to Skype (which I have to use because everyone else here in the US does).

Is WordPress good for business websites?
> Best I'm aware, a lot of these apps exist already.

Very few people use them, however.

> I've lost count of the number of websites which used to work fine on a 1st gen iPad and which now either refuse to work on grounds its browser is too old (e.g. Github), or outright frequently crash its browser owing to out of memory errors due to excessive use of javascript (e.g. most news site).

The situation isn't that great for native apps either. Most times, you're lucky if an app has targeted more than just one platform. And try running modern native apps on the 1st gen iPad; developers leave old tech in the dust regardless of which platform their targeting.

I will agree that web apps need to get better in general and work within the constraints of the browser, and that news sites should have as little complicated javascript as possible (or at least sensible fallbacks), but that's not a reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater. For a wide swath of applications, the web is the only truly ubiquitous deployment target and when done right (Netflix, Amazon, Facebook, Hacker News, etc) web apps can reach a much larger user base for same development time than native apps can.
As the article states, Uber is unique in a few ones. One: all signs point to employees being given unfettered access to all user data. That's A Bad Thing.
While this is no doubt very cool I want to point out that you cannot Post new stories or comments to a NNTP Server but rather you can read existing ones. This is Read-Only. The title is tiny bit misleading (not intentionally) in this regard.

it's a very exciting time for Linux Containers. it's been a fun to watch the evolution from BSD jails to lxc to docker, but the rate of innovation and usefulness is certainly accelerating. it sure seems like rocket's approach will be much less of a black box than docker images/registry, which should make it much more approachable to people trying to understand what linux containers are all about.
I think that those stats are good reason to focus on that market. I wonder if I would have to have a native Chinese individual to help. The character system employed in their language is so different from a latin based scheme as to be laughable. The site presents interesting differences, but I think Western developers need an English version of UXPin recommendations for Eastern apps.
I love Inbox and use it for my personal email, but my impression was that it can't work with Exchange accounts.
I'm not sure how much the age of the company matters. If they have customers and/or revenue, that determines what they're worth much more than age.
Especially since "pretty" often means tacky or garish. I see alot of comments in here where people like the look of the thing but don't like the gaps in the context of something you're going to click on. Me, I just don't like the look. itself. For some reason, my eye is seeing the text as being "in front" of the underline, instead of the desired effect which would be the underline getting out of the text's way.

Would there be support for Socket Activation? (something that is still missing on Docker..)
As the joke goes:

A: Doctor.

Yes, we have prototyped doing socket activation with rocket already but the patches haven't been merged. So, yes, the intention is to make socket activation work.

Very few of these services can easily be replaced. You mention OpenFire XMPP - it has very few of the features that Flowdock has and is more of an effort to set up for end-users (compared with downloading an app or logging in on a website). You'd end up at most paying slightly less for a bunch of services with fewer features, at great disruption to your business.
How many of the HN crowd know enough of Chinese culture, market, and business rules to be able to create a successful mobile product for China? I would think there are several barriers to entry than just selection bias.

I'm all for a new container runtime if it lets me start containers as a non-root user. Allowing non-root users to start containers would open up a whole new level of applications, particularly on multi-tenant HPC-style clusters.
I first thought this was for testing farming in space/Mars. But yes, in reality it's for tax reason. And it doesn't make sense to let all that land go unused.

Interestingly I know a family that 'farms' on Maui so they can live on a land that's zoned for farming. Supposedly the land is zoned for farming, so they bought the land, built nice houses and also farm to satisfy the requirement for zoning. But of course they are not farmers...

Transportation data can provide clues about potential business dealings. Say you saw that attorneys and executives from Google are frequent visitors to a small but public software company's offices. You could deduce a possibility that they were hammering out an acquisition, and front-run the deal by scooping up stock in that company before the news was public. It's not a guarantee - but in an age when satellite photos of parking-lot usage are being used as inputs into trading models, you can bet that there's a price some people would be willing to pay for access to the travel records of both private citizens and public officials.
Just a few points. .

1 - You need a better color palette. The easy way to choose a color palette is to use one color, with different shades or tones. If you want an easy way to create a decent palette, head over to https://color.adobe.com/create/color-wheel/ and hit "Explore" then type in a color like "Red" and see what pops up. I would probably look for something with red since its the color you're using for your company logo and then softer tones for the background colors. Also, red goes much better with black then the blue/purple background you're using.

2 - Spacing - give your text a little more room to breathe. Give more space between your callout "You're the Chosen One!" and the text below it. Also give more space around the text in the body so its not so close to the edge of the container.

3 - Remove this text, "Fill out the info below and we will contact you soon." This text contradicts your next sentence about hurrying up and filling out the registration. By removing this text, you keep the sense of urgency to your pitch.

4 - Spelling and Grammar. Make sure to double check your spelling. Nothing kills enthusiasm like seeing misspelled words. This how I would rephrase your pitch, with just some basic punctuation and changing a few words:

The app which will completely change the world of leisure is coming soon. You have a chance to be among the first users to download it, and test it.
Hurry up, registration is almost closed!

Note: Your text in the dropdown, "Selelct" is spelled wrong as well - should be "Select"

Hopefully this helps a little bit.

Otherwise, it was a good job for a first run.

>the handful of tech CEO's you know only from reputation.

This is an important point.

Jobs, Gates, Ellison, Travis K. are each notorious. We love stories about these guys because they're entertaining and sometimes shocking (I admit, I certainly do, anyway).

You don't read much about Drew Houston or Chesky, except when Dropbox partners with Microsoft or Airbnb elaborately rolls out a new logo. But when Steve Jobs would reply to one customer's email, in his customarily curt fashion, there was always a press field day.

It's possible that "nice" CEOs are less interesting to talk about but no less effective.

I'm all for these types of optimizations, so long as they don't come with the price of readability. The more complex an optimization is, the more likely it'll cost more in the long run (developer time) than save (hardware resources).

Hardware/Memory/CPU's are still much cheaper than developer time.

I realise some of those services aren't directly f(team size), but as a general rule of thumb, f(projects) is a proxy for f(team size).

Likewise, your CircleCI bill is going to be higher with more team members as you mention.

That's all very imprecise, it's not like there will be a direct linear relationship. But close enough compared to Mixpanel etc which scale with f(users) or f(transactions).
You'll notice the same pattern on browser usage graphs - IE peaks during working hours, every other browser peaks on weekends and evenings.

>> I have a different opinion, I'm not wrong.

You are entitled to your own opinion, you are not entitled to your own facts. Here is your original post -

"> Experts say being exposed to at least one STD virus is virtually inevitable

If you are promiscuous of course, for those who don't the chance is almost cero."

This is factually incorrect as there many, many ways for people to acquire infections commonly referred to as STDs without having had sex. You could have them right now even if you are a virgin.

>> What doesn't make sense?

That you continue saying things like "Exactly, in the context of the article, and that is condoms, hence, sexual relations, see that?"

These make no sense because people can get these diseases without having sex, and then pass them on to people they have sex with, even if it's only one other person in their whole life. Regardless of context.

Your chance of catching an STD from contact with a non-promiscuous person is quite high, because many, many humans have them from other means. You are not that well protected from some infections (herpes simplex in particular) even if you only ever have sex with one partner, and they do the same. (See other comments for how likely that actually is)

Once more - you are entitled to your own opinions, not your own facts, and saying "but context!" doesn't make any sense.
Intel's ISPC compiler is an alternative approach that in my experience is easy to code for and produces impressive results. Many CUDA-style algorithms port to it with mostly syntactic changes, and you can interleave CUDA-style code with the usual x86-friendly control flow and data structures.

>> If me saying that being promiscuous has more risc of getting an STD botters you, sorry, is still a fact.

That's not what you said, you said it was a virtually zero chance, this is incorrect.
I hadn't thought of it that way before, nice point. I guess you could look at a complex adaptive system as a learning system that gradually discovers the best way to exploit its environment. Over-learning is what leads to the release phase (when the environment goes outside of your expected bounds and causes problems),and our meddling to induce extra randomness serves the same purpose here as it does in AI systems - ensuring that all of the variation of reality is represented, and a bit more.

I use :/ a lot in wechat because I don't consider any of the faces to match. Also, there are a few faces where the feeling is right but I don't use them because the pink cheeks (and, in one case, eyelashes) make them seem female-only. It'd be nice to have male equivalents.
As highlighted by the last line of the article “Most people,” Lewis said, “have really bad operational security.”

I don't think the media is going to stop targeting Uber for a while...

I am always happy when the topic of security and data-privacy is discussed in the broader media. I wish there was an easy 'goto' option for agile/startup/lean/hacker teams with little time for security policies are focused on speed so early on.

"Regulation--SOX, HIPAA, GLBA, the credit-card industry's PCI, the various disclosure laws, the European Data Protection Act, whatever--has been the best stick the industry has found to beat companies over the head with. And it works. Regulation forces companies to take security more seriously, and sells more products and services." - Bruce Schneier[1]

Interesting takeaways from the post:

* Despite Brandon Philips (CoreOS CTO) serving on the Docker governance board, Docker has aggressively expanded their scope well beyond their original container manifesto.

* CoreOS believes the Docker runtime is now too unwieldy and "fundamentally flawed"; the unwritten word that really sprung to mind was that Docker was getting "greedy."

* CoreOS reaffirms their original operating model of being capable of running their infrastructure on and with Docker.

* Rocket is CoreOS's answer to stay true to the "simple composable building block" mantra.
