I've always wondered what Uber is going to do when their self-driving cars can legally drive in Saudi Arabia, but women can't. Seems like they're going to run up against that pretty soon.

I just re-read Righteous Indignation by Andrew Breitbart -- Fascinating in retrospect as it accurately describes so much about the emergence of new media and what manifested itself in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

Twitter's book burning of conservative accounts was horrific. One of the grossest displays from a tech company that I can remember. I have no idea how employees at Twitter aren't up in arms over it.

Yup. Whatever replaces twitter will be an open-source decentralized system that ends at the API layer with multiple competing client implementations. So, not Gab. But I do like to see a bit of momentum in the tech world against neoliberalis

The logic (agree with it or not) is that the biggest threat to homosexuals in 2016 is Islam and Sharia. There are 1.5 billion Muslims in the world, at least half who want homosexuality banned. And Muslim countries are much more likely to le

I understand that the first amendment protects against government censorship, and not the censorship of a private company. But honest question, what is the difference between a private business refusing to bake a wedding cake for a gay wedd

You can use the stats without the league's permission for sure. Check out http://www.bitlaw.com/source/cases/copyright/nba.html if you want the actual legal grounds for why you can use stats.

You probably won't beat them for B2B. The service is good but not great, but the switching costs are too high that even if your service was better in some way you wouldn't win any customers. They're competent and get the job

I currently use sportradar. People will definitely use a sports data API -- but you would have to beat sportradar somewhere (either on developer experience, price, accuracy, feature set, number of sports covered, etc...) to make a viable bu

lol @ Vim users that have to write configuration files, memorize complicated keyboard shortcuts, and install 20 plugins just to be able to copy and paste text between files. It's 2016, try using a real editor like Atom. (Am I doing it

For better or worse a Trump presidency would almost certainly be a fundamental rewrite of the way the U.S. government functions in the world.

You're definitely right, and from my experience the community has no interest in actually making the developer experience better. It's one of those "the first step to fixing the problem is admitting you have a problem" s

You nailed it. I feel like I've been permanently damaged from digest cycles, ng-filters, providers, transclusion etc... I feel like others must have been damaged enough to write off new Javascript frameworks entirely, which is unfortun

dude, what are you talking about. I've used Backbone, Angular, and React extensively, and React is a significantly better paradigm for building stateful UI's than any of those other frameworks. It's not just a matter of styli

Flexbox is life-altering though.

I always take Lyft over Uber because they actually TELL YOU THE COLOR OF THE CAR on the app. Uber not showing you the color of the drivers car is one of the weirdest UI decisions I can ever remember.

I'd imagine abolishing time zones would add billions of dollars in developer productivity back into the economy, doesn't seem like that bad an idea.

But if the question is getting a single one-bedroom apartment for < $1,000 a month I think that excludes a lot of cities. New York, DC etc... So it's not meaningful to say SF is a bubble because of a trait that exists in many cities

Bernal Heights, Portrero Hill, actually there's < $1,000 rooms all over the city, just look on craigslist. Maybe not a single apartment to yourself, but definitely a room in a shared apartment. There are a lot of cities btw where yo

Yes, there are a lot of dumb startups but I'm still not convinced this is a bad thing. Why does every 24-year old have to be changing the world? Imagine you have a 2x2 matrix where the x-axis is positive value added to the world and th

I mean, I like R, I think R Studio is an incredible IDE, but I would never build anything meaningful in R code. It's messy, slow, and has an antiquated community where people share library documentation in PDF's. Julia seems promi

Oh man, and having to manually configure your server logs just so you can see what requests are being made and where errors are popping up vs. just tailing log/development.txt in Rails...
