I really hope you charge money for it and make it awesome, it's about time Adobe gets disrupted and this is a wonderful idea! It will take significant resources, cash and teams to make this into a serious contender, and folks that have

You're missing the point completely, it's not about depriving citizens of fundamental services. - How do you know care home providers don't bribe their way through contracts? - How do you know they are not an oligopoly that

Yeah you really got the point here, it was the technology to use, not the transparency and traceability.. you're completely right, it's worth 0% of my time arguing over the internet. Thank you ever so kindly for reminding me of th

Unlike any other organisation of its size, government is never held liable for efficiency, nobody ever questions government for "return on investment", even though it's the largest one all of us make. What this article is sug

- How does toxic lithium mining fair to the countless oil spillage disasters that happen every few years? It doesn't. Lithium mining is now a rising industry in the dawn of the electric era, and it is nonetheless a limited resource whi

This is a very poor interpretation of what actually happens. Elon explained it better himself in an interview. The gov isn't exactly signing a blank check for them, instead it's subsidising by allowing tax credit on land, assets a

Not sure this is really an engineering success to be shared. 400 people, of which 350 are handling Spring configuration probably. Over bloated, massive effort, with 0 innovation and 10 steps backwards, and still a very slow product. Happy y

Very glad to help! Just remember, whatever your move is, don't argue with the world around you. They won't get it. Prove leadership qualities, smile, keep your composure and find the middle ground. Best of luck!

It's a simple choice as long as you stay rational. People bullshit and fear as they don't see the picture themselves. Entrepreneurship is not for everybody, if you go down that path, don't expect great council at every corner

JavaScript inheritance library? JS does this by default, no need for more useless boilerplate. The below works in all browsers, IE5 included. function inherits(child, parent) { function tmp() {}; tmp.prototype = parent.prototype; chil

From an architecture perspective, the article is a great read. However, the systemic damage in JS applications comes from profound general delusions concerning the JS language itself. Strong performance anti-patterns can be found in any exa

You minified half of the Closure Library for a modest product. 50kb of inline JS for card processing, just to obfuscate. This is terrible, you need two libraries doing the same thing. Very high price point, developers who can afford to buy
