Politics and language wars aside, it could look exactly the same as the current Windows Phone. The language used to implement an OS has no bearing on the visual appearance, UX, etc. I wouldn't expect the performance to be much different either.

BTW, you can write apps in Go on Windows and run them on Windows. Don't know how different the tooling would be for Windows Phone.
IMHO, JSON can be seen as the simplified, fat-free child, non Enterprise-Edition of XML; where features are created out of popular demand -as opposed to being created by committee decision-.

So far, we have:

XML -> JSON

BaseX, eXistdb -> MongoDB, RethinkDB

XSD, DTD -> JSON Schema

WSDL -> HATEOAS

XML-RPC -> JSON-RPC

XPath -> JSONPath

xmlns -> JSON-LD

SAX -> clarinet

--------------------

Would we have:

XSLT -> Baobab

No. The first few chapters might sound a bit off-putting (though, personally, I like it), but it gets much, much better after chapter 4 or 5. And after chapter 10, it is just a joy to read.

> I must: Hold myself to a lower standard, somehow, even if many people are praising the work as Great Literature and my natural impulse is to try to live up to that.

They'd fought in the forest, and he hadn't gotten a chance to say it.

They'd fought in the corridors of Hogwarts, and he hadn't gotten a chance to say it.

They'd fought in the air, broomsticks issued to every soldier, and it still hadn't made sense to say it.

Harry had thought he wouldn't ever get to say those words, not while he was still young enough for them to be real...

The Chaos Legionnaires were looking at Harry in puzzlement, as their general swam with his feet pointing up toward the distant light of the surface,and his head pointed down toward the murky depths.

"Why are you upside down?", the young commander shouted at his army, and began to explain how to fight after you abandoned the privileged orientation of gravity.

That scene is enough, for me, for the book to be Great Literature. No need to overthink the term. I don't think the author could avoid having some people call his writing Great Literature if he tried.
Most investors don't care about the technology. Does it make more money or not? And I would doubt that changing the programming language would make any difference to the market perception of the Windows Phone as a product.

The posts misses out the bit where the NSA scan your text and keep it in a big database, ready to use it against you any time you step out of line.
Not what I was thinking of, but I should've been more explicit. Using generics you can type the keys and values of Maps in any language with generic support that I'm familiar with: certainly C++ and Java can. But you can't make type assertions about certain values existing under certain keys: that's what structs/classes/etc are for. But, those constructs can't easily be generated at runtime, and are typed nominally: even just as a caller you have to explicitly say they inherit (or in Java, implement) a specific type. However, with TypeScript-like structural subtyping, you can do:

interface BreadIngredientOptions {
flourType?: String; // this is the syntax for optional strings
sugarAmount?: String; // ditto: it's the ? that makes it optional
// ...
}

function bakeBread(ingredientOverrides: BreadIngredientOptions) {
// ...
}

// callers don't need to explicitly inherit or implement to be type checked
// however, since all properties are optional, this is less interesting
bakeBread({
flourType: 'white'
});

But you can do even better than that example shows. One common problem with maps-as-named-arguments is that you can't easily determine which arguments are required and which are optional. With typed optional properties and structural subtyping you can enforce that at compile time, as follows:

interface MyArgumentInterface {
requiredArg: number;
optionalArg?: number;
}

function f(args: MyArgumentInterface) {
// ...
}

// This works:
f({
requiredArg: 10,
optionalArg: 5
});

// This also works:
f({ requiredArg: 50 });

// This statically throws at compile time:
f({ optionalArg: 10 });

It's a combination of the simple object literal syntax from raw JS that makes it easy to create objects of arbitrary types, with structural subtyping. I'm not aware of any language with the same features (but would love to be corrected!).
1. Could you clarify your question on this please?

We won't be replacing the pathologist report for the oncologist. We also don't obtain the tumor after their analysis and report. Our testing will be running in parallel.

We produce our report using test results from the actual patient's living tumor that we obtain from the operating room. Pathologists embed the tumor cells in paraffin wax, which kills the tissue.

2. Yes there are challenges with applying the drugs because the cells are in an artificial environment outside of the body. We have improved the standard conditions the cells are tested in and will continue to develop methods to make the petri dish more like the patient's brain.

3. Initially brain cancer chose us, my dad passed away from the disease two weeks ago.
It's true that when this has been tried in the past, there's always been a point where the "magic" ends--where there's some functionality that you need which isn't included. Treeline is different because you can always create new components when you need them. The Machine specification (http://node-machine.org) is open-source, and you can upload new machinepacks to NPM (Treeline imports them automatically), or create them from right within the app. So the magic never has to end :)

Or as PG put it, "You get to make your own blocks!"
After building one of the largest backend frameworks for Node.js I completely understand where you're coming from.

Be consistent. Graduates from top private/public unis will have more debt, sure, but they also do make 80k+ on average, as a matter of fact. So the debt load is best case comparable in 1/2 the time and for no degree.

As others have pointed out, undergrad debt numbers include R&R but the 25% for 2 years doesn't. What's 2 years of rent in SF for two years.

I feel obligated to mention, that although I was happy with my AMEX card while I had it... When I lost some physical copies of my statements that I required for tax purposes, I called up AMEX and asked them to send me copies.

They did so, at the cost of $10 per month. I paid $120 for them to print out about 40 sheets of paper and mail them to me snail mail.

I did the same with my Visa that I had at the same time, and they only charged me $2 per month. Still abhorrently expensive for paper transcripts imho, but 5x cheaper than AMEX on that respect.
I think a good complement tothis concept is that of "this"-less Javascript, relegating it only to things like mixins.

So many headaches are to be had if you're not careful and using some decent functional things.
Okay, thanks. Then I'll keep reading.

It'll be very interesting if you can robustly translate murine xenograft data into successful clinical outcomes. Two potential hurdles I can see are (1) high cost per patient despite relying on generics, from all the animal models (though maybe you can get an adventuresome ACO on board: http://www.hhs.gov/news/press/2015pres/03/20150310b.html) and (2) insufficient characterization of the mutations/drug interactions/interpatient variability state space, due to the relatively low GBM incidence rate (compared to other cancers).
This makes me happy. After having been an Uber customer, then an Uber driver, and now a Lyft customer, I'm more than happy to transition my business to Lyft. Where Uber made me feel douchey, Lyft has made me feel part of a community. Even though functionally the two services are indistinguishable, I've always had better experiences with Lyft. Lyft feels more grounded. You have the opportunity, if you wish, to sit next to your driver and not treat them as a lower class citizen. I don't hear about Lyft employees being ruthless or money-grabbing. And generally all Lyft drivers I've met have been happy Uber driver converts. I totally buy the Southwest Airlines angle they are trying to achieve.
My car's in the shop getting fixed so I've been using Uber and Lyft in the suburban south bay--a market of long roads, horrible traffic conditions, and high rate of personal car ownership.

Since the past week I've learned a few things:

- all the drivers have both apps running and have no loyalty

- drivers prefer uber customers, however

- drivers don't like lyft's demo of college kids and local rides, it earns them no money

- lyft drivers think uber is evil, uber drivers thinks lyft drivers are hippies

- all the international travelers coming into silicon valley have uber and used to uber service

- uber dispatches to lyft dispatches are a 5 to 1 ratio

- drivers always complain lyft keeps them afloat but doesn't get them ahead

- uber, whether intentionally or not, actually has viable career plan. an uber black driver i rode with on the lyft service explained how after selling his real estate company and investing in three lincoln escalades was able to make his money back on one of the cars after 7 months.

- all the drivers concur uber is pretty evil, don't like the 1099 relationship, hate how uber corporate doesn't support the drivers over customers or incidents, yet sadly resign and accept the situation. it's oddly depressing talking to a uber driver.

Over half a billion dollars at the E round is quite a lot to drop into a "community" instead of Uber's business.

Hopefully the money is put into innovating locally instead of international expansion because they're definitely losing the game. And when the automated cars are here it would have been the tech game's worst investment cycle.
The tone changes greatly over the course of the story. The first several chapters are a lot more didactic and stilted before the humor gets going and the plot becomes gradually more character-driven and the story gets caught up in the actual events. The humor subsides further into the story as things get darker. The didactic bits don't go away entirely, but most of what remains of it through the second half of the story is inner monologue as part of the main character's problem solving process.
an angry drop bear

Is there any other kind of drop bear?
Yes he did, this is a very poorly written article. I know lots of people who have retired "early" because they came into enough money[1] that they didn't need to work for their lifestyle any more. As the mmm[2] web site is pretty good at pointing out, you don't need a whole lot to live pretty comfortably, especially if you're not going to work every day so you can live where property values are low.

There are people who feel financially insecure even with tens of millions in their accounts, and then there is a friend of mine who walked away with $1.2M after selling his house during the dot com run-up and moved to Boise, IA. He's been there ever since and really loves it.

In my experience the people who "can never get enough" are the unusual cases, not the folks who just happen to like what they are doing and it pays well, but people who focus all of their energy on increasing that number at the bottom of their portfolio account.

There are a whole lot of people who are "retiring" than you read about in the funny papers. They don't call it retiring of course, because retiring carries a stigma of sitting on a porch sipping mint julips and telling stories about the 'good old days', but they feel bad about calling it 'full time vacation mode' which is really what it is.

"JavaScript borrowed the new and delete keywords from its less-dynamic predecessor languages. They feel a bit out of place in a garbage collected language and are a source of confusion for newbies "

They are? Delete maybe, due to language symantics - but not new. I think it's unfair to bundle them together in terms of newbie confusion.

Also every time I see one of these type of blog post, discussions in a book the work arounds are even worse.

JS is easy to understand, by the time you need 'new' it is not that difficult an extension of your current knowledge. As far as 'delete' even an advanced JS developer could go a year without calling it

So, to ask the question that Thiel has asked, is this a market that supports a monopoly, or is it going to be a consumer-favoring highly competitive scene?

> Thiel is also an investor in Airbnb– yet another darling of the sharing economy, valued at a “mere” $10 billion compared to Uber’s $18 billion. Unlike Uber and Lyft, Thiel argued, there is no obvious competitor to Airbnb. That in and of itself makes it a more valuable company because of the distraction and profit erosion that he describes throughout his book.

Thiel seems to think that it doesn't support a monopoly, and I'd tend to agree.

So, assuming that it's a competitive market, and Uber and Lyft repeatedly copy the features of one-another, I'm very curious to see what kind of profit margins and therefore valuations are supported.

For a competitive market, it seems like the gap between Lyft's $2.5bn and Uber's $41 is bound to be reduced, one way or the other.
this is definitely not reddit agreed

This is great. More competition is great for me, the consumer. Recently Lyft and Uber have bother offered flat rate rides for $5-7 anywhere in SF. When people ask me how it can be so cheap, I always joke it's because it's a $15 ride but you're splitting it with a venture capitalist.

I wonder if either company has any serious long-term plan to make sure they are not competing in a commoditized space. Currently the services are basically indistinguishable. Sure most people have a preference one way or the other, but it's not a preference they'd stick to if the other service was a few bucks cheaper. They seem to be in lock step, doing the same things and alternating who makes the first move.

If they're not careful they will become like the airline industry. 40 years ago airlines were a glamorous new way to travel. Now they are reduced to who can offer the cheapest point-to-point ticket with 17" of leg room, customer service is an unexpected bonus.

I don't think there's anything inherently evil, bad, or even particularly confusing about this. As long as you understand how it's being attached to a running function there's very little confusion to be had. The problem is that most of the resources for learning completely gloss over this incredibly important aspect of the language.

Veritassium did a video that explains this.
Here in Salt Lake City, Lyft already won by a long shot. Its crazy, they got here like a week or two before Uber, but their arrival seemed to just not leave any room for a competitor.

Uber can rarely be found here, and if it can its always longer and more expensive than Lyft. Long live Lyft.

"...residents at this time focused on their belief that the installation of digital antennas was not allowed per the conditional use permit originally granted. Beyond seismic safety, the other chief complaint from residents involved possible electromagnetic effects on humans."

Never mind that DTV is broadcast on the same UHF band that's been in use for decades. Or that because of the increased resiliency to noise a digital signal can be transmitted at a lower power level while covering the same area. No, let's just ignore scientific fact and whip up a bunch of anti-radiation hysteria.

Yes it matters. Autocomplete (either local or 100ms network database lookup) is a whole other layer of fascinating computer science+engineering.

I just built a quick site with Webflow, but because it lacks any integration with DB/Backend it was only used as a landing page. Having this ability would let users create and end to end web product with only basic knowledge of programming.
7 things one entrepreneur learned
You may be interested in my site, Newslines [1], which addresses most of the problems you mention here. One of our core principles is "the web is not paper" which, in our case, means that the traditional newspaper article is broken up into its component "news events". For example, in a traditional newspaper, a story about Bill Cosby will mention not only the most recent news, but will also include older news or information about Cosby to fill out the article. The result is that each newspaper article repeats a lot of information from previous articles, and because of the long-form format, each individual article cannot be sorted or filtered to see the latest news, oldest news, or some subset of news about a topic. See our Bill Cosby line [2] and use the filter and sort functions in the header bar for different views. You will also notice that each news event has its own embedded multimedia content, and being ordered by time, it's easy to say the latest news updates.

Hopefully Lyft puts some of that money towards supporting more platforms that could make it competitive with Uber. I would love to have alternative options, but unfortunately, it seems like Uber is the only service that offers a Windows Phone application and a Mobile site to order off of. While there aren't too many non iOS/Android mobile phone users, all of us are collectively tied to Uber.

Pick someone that you know (not necessarily a friend), but take a few precautions.

First, this person may completely change their character under pressure or a feeling of impending doom, just as you need them the most. You can work with someone in the same low stress job for years and you'd still be in for a surprise when the going gets rough.

Second, you need to walk a very fine line between selling them on your idea on one hand and making sure your future prospects and goals are aligned. Selling someone a dream is easy, but it's just not enough for coping with the ongoing brutal wear that's startup work.

Third, make sure this person complements your skills with as small of an overlap as possible.

Fourth, assign responsibilities from day one, and aim for a vesting period for stock ownership (for all founders!) so if he ditches, you won't find yourself with a defunct company.

So to sum it, it's not so much about where to find a cofounder, as much as it is managing the process and expectations.
