It's much easier to say that from the outside than the inside. Unless you're a sociopath, you're wired to care about what other people think of you, and it takes conscious effort to not care when everybody says that you're a terrible person who's either stupid or evil.

The other big pitfall is that it's very hard to turn this not-caring property on selectively, so that you tune out the general negativity but actually listen to substantive criticisms. I've seen this bite executives frequently: they get so used to sticking to their guns because everybody regularly hates their decisions that they're incapable of realizing when they have actually, truly fucked up. If you run a startup and not a huge company, that can be the death of your company.
I don't see many people talk about the packaging and food quality at the time of delivery. This is the absolute biggest factor for overall satisfaction. They mention trying to optimize delivery, but that only helps so much.

If you are doing high-end food, it need to travel extremely well. Having tried a lot of food delivery services - with both first- and third-party drivers - I rarely order anything other than pizza or Chinese food for delivery anymore.

Pizza places, Jimmy Johns, and many Chinese food restaurants have perfected the food experience and delivery network. But the truth is, their products are pretty average.

If every browser vendor fully and correctly implemented a standard on their first try, you'd have an excellent point.

As it is right now, even people that develop towards standards still have to choose between deviating from those standards to support a wider audience or sticking to the standards and turning away users.
Botnets must leverage their infected host's internet connection. Almost all anti-bot tools use IP/rate metrics to identify the classic DOS: a large number of connections from a few IPs.

To get around Threatstop, Distil, and other solutions, we see attackers having to use 100+ different source IPs during their coordinated attacks.
It's a clear sour grapes scenario.

They can't have a solution to shared state anyway, because of the semantics of Javascript, so they go with the idea that shared state is an attractive hazard. Which it absolutely is, but the one isn't sufficient to justify the other.

Erlang seems to have this right. You can have all the shared state you want but it can't cross component boundaries, and therefore you can multiprocess your little hearts out.

In theory you are correct, but we ran into an issue that only occurred on the iPhone 6+. Basically we were doing a lot of heavy JS and CSS transforms, and it caused the 6+ browser to crash, and if you tried again the actual phone would reboot. We could not recreate this any other version of the iPhone that we tested.

Right but Dominos and McDonalds are all terrible food that isn't healthy. And only Dominos delivers.

If my neighbor can cook my rice and beans for $0.30 USD / serving, or $3 for a basic salad (spinach, serving nuts, beans, olive oil, vinegar), I'd pay $1-5 to have that delivered to me. How does that not keep up with profits?

I mean what's shocking to me is that families across the country make these basic meals that seem clearly too basic for restaurants to make. But most families (especially poorer ones) just don't have time to make the food, but they want something cheap, so they resort to fast food - when I'm sure they'd be fine with spending the same (or less) on a rice and beans dish instead of a big mac.

I'm surprised the technology isn't "fast enough" yet. Most top end phones are quad core, output 1080p, have 2-4gb ram, etc. Specs like that easily meet the listed minimum requirements of windows... odd.

They're now basically giving google and apple time to easily catch up to what could of been a killer feature that sells windows phones.

This is also compounded by how long those updates take because they somehow managed to make writing files to disk a CPU-bound process at some point in the mid-2000s. If you have 50MB of updates to install on any other operating system it will take a few seconds but on Windows XP+ it will run at a few hundred KB/s while using 100% of a CPU which can run SHA-512 at well over 1Gbps.

I've used Secret several times a week since they launched. Although the most recent redesign was panned from every corner, I found it to be the best anonymous messaging UI, by far.

I think that you are totally wrong about these founders in particular and what taking money off of the table revels about founders generally.

Most founders are extremely protective of their startup. It's their baby, and their livelihood. They'll do anything to keep it alive. Most "poor"(<$5M in the bank) would prefer a 'safe' acquisition to gambling on being a world changer. A good accusation can change a persons life forever $10M verses $100M? Who cares? Either way it's a lifetime worth of fuck-you-money. But investors what entrepreneurs to "go big." So if an investor finds a company and team that they think has a chance of making it they will give the founders fuck-you-money. It says, "ok, your safe, nothing can hurt you. Now take the chance of building a company that can change the world!"

When you see a founder take a big chunk of cash from an early round, you shouldn't think, "they don't believe in what they're doing." You should think, "These investors (who know these founders a lot better then I do) think that they are so awesome, and have such a high chance of doing something transformative, they are basically giving them enough money that they will never have to worry about money again."

In response to [0], yes Haskell still lacks dependent types. Fortunately there is research going on. Liquid Haskell allows you to use refinement types to help further constrain things. Anyone who is interested in full dependent typing should look at Idris.

> Windows 10 reflects the strategic decisions embodied in Vista

Hope you mean "embodied in Windows 8". I still remember the day I replaced my Vista PC with one running Windows 7, and wondering why the OS was booting so fast. I doubt "Vista" was strategic in any way, more incompetent management, but would agree "Windows 8" had strategic considerations behind it.
And yet you provide no sources for this alleged ripping apart.

EDIT: Furthermore your response demonstrates you do not even understand my point. The purpose of the sources I have referenced are not to show support for economic plan A over economic plan B, rather they demonstrate the inconsistent and politically motivated arguments behind Krugman's anti-austerity stance. He states Europe is dangerously pursuing misguided austerity policy which he defines strictly as a cut to government expenditures. He then correlates that with a lack of GDP growth. Then, slyly, when talking of the US, he purports that austerity took place until 2011 when wiser heads prevailed, reversed the trend and then the economy boomed. The problem is, when evaluating the austerity of the US, his numbers include monetary policy, being adjusted for inflation. Why does he not do the same for Europe?

This is all to say, if Paul Krugman is your source "your sources are bad and you should stop reading them... they were ripped apart by mainstream economists".

While I might have some doubts about the ultimate thrust of this article, my gut tells me that ignoring Bitcoin as a technology and an ecosystem is a mistake.

I've been present for three big revolutions in technology (personal computing, the Internet, and mobile data/smartphones) and with each there were detractors that dismissed the ultimate effect and utility of these new arrivals. I'm not so sure we aren't repeating that mistake.

I'm hedging my bets. It might be the case that Bitcoin the currency never makes it, but the technology that underpins it might live on in some useful construct when applied to a problem where the utility is more apparent, even if that connection isn't at all clear now.
> I'll use Haskell as an example, since it's the most widely-known strict static type system. Hindley-Milner type systems like Haskell often don't allow dependent types, which means that a 2D vector and 3D vector are the same type unless their dimensions are known at compile-time (which is oftentimes not the case).

Implementation of dependent types in Haskell, with the specific example of dimension-parameterized vectors, is addressed in [0].

I would love to make a resume page like this, and have the balls to publicize it, I just have this super strong aversion to do such a thing because of the amount of creepy people on the internet.
Look at the "Eigen" [1] library for C++. It's totally possible to do linear algebra in a staticly typed environment. You just need to use generic types. However it isn't as pleasant as doing it in a dynamicly typed environment like MATLAB.

Indeed, Nadella is an opensource guy that had the chance to grow during Ballmer. While Microsoft (during Ballmer) had a slow change (going more opensource) from the bottom-to-top, there has been a faster change now from top-to-bottom. I remember Scott Hanselman, Scott Guthrie and Phil Haack (now at Github) during Ballmer as opensource contributors.

Ballmer allowed opensource during his leadership, but employees would be more "targetted" when it's not the right direction and it hasn't has "intermediate"/"fast" results... It's a much slower progress.

I believe Nadella has a lot of thanks for the change that Microsoft made before he stepped up and "received" the fame. There was a short release afterwards of his stepup with a Office version for iOS and Android, you just don't do that within the month.

Some things he did within the first 12 months:

- Bought Nokia ( they already worked very together closely, this was probably been going on for years )

- Office for iOS and Android ( was created during Ballmer, but probably got approval during Nadella)

- Opensource .Net ( opensource started with Asp.Net MVC 2, which wasn't an all-in though, i think of it as a "test" internally)

- Cloudobile - connecting mobile with the cloud ;) ( this is definatly more Nadella's style, coming from Azure)

But it isn't all "that good", a lot of people have been layed off ( approx. 18.000 ). While Ballmer's approach is very "profitable" and "evil", i do believe that Nadella's approach is more in the line of "more penetration", "cheaper prices" ( free version of Office eg.), being more open... It does come at a cost ( i hope no one blames me for mentioning this ). I do suppose those 18.000 people where mostly freelancers, but i'm not sure.
Quality control would become pretty challenging. Ignoring that though, it all adds up to $/hr. You need to build a setup which allows the participating chefs to make $20-30/hr consistently. Delivery would be a real time sink.
Mine was corrupted but I fixed it with the following command: "zip -FF VSCode-linux-x64 --out vscode2". I'm on ubuntu 14.04.
I don't see anything exceptional about this. There are a lot of tutorials and a lot of sites guiding you through building a site like that.
You should never put yourself in a situation to ask for something. You must put others in the situation to ask for you. Making a website like countless others and having no substantial code to back off what you are claiming, won't put you in front of countless of other talented people that are a lot more humble than you. Talented companies have talented eyes seeking for talent, don't put only a good mask on. I wanted to say this, because I want you in a good company and I hope that you will get the best of life. Keep working on your path: mastering a framework is tenfold valuable than a "simple understanding". Regards

An AirBnB for food seems like an interesting idea. Making it hyper-local (i.e. in the same building in NYC) would eliminate the delivery need, and you could market hard to one building at a time to get enough people on board. It seems the problem would be the health code requirements.
The number one thing I'm looking for in an open-source Skype alternative is persistent group chats with history (so when you sign in, you're still in the same group chats you were, and the history of messages that were sent in that chat while you were gone are sent to you).

I can't imagine why an OEM would take the effort to develop a browser when Chrome is there...

Where did you get the idea that this is a glorified code generator?

> Developers avoid Windows for far more complex, intangible reasons...

Maybe mobile developers do, but outside of that there are whole industries that are centered around Windows. I see a lot of workers using Windows on little devices now too. Just yesterday a guy came to my house to inspect our lease return vehicle. When he was done, he whipped out this tiny little laptop with a touch screen that I had to sign with a stylus (which worked perfectly). It was running Windows 8 and that was probably the tenth time I've seen something similar in the past year.

> ...sadly they have not overcome the perception and mindset challenges of a dieing platform.

Bullshit. Windows is better than ever. More people use it than any other desktop OS. There are millions of IT departments around the world that would laugh and laugh and laugh if you suggested that they use OS X or Linux instead of Windows.
