Yeah but there’s money to be had from people who will buy into that idea. People don’t like complex answers.

As an American that's always been my feeling. Bullies and petty people seem to be drawn to police work in the US for that "authority." An idiot with authority is a bad time for everyone.

The vast, vast majority of police officer aren't shooting blacks under super fishy circumstances but it still happens. You tell me how many dogs, blacks, children, wtf-ever. is required before it's OK to 1) Earnestly hold police a

But terminals 11 years ago were already more advanced. So, yeah, I'd echo the "wtf took so long?" All the resources in the world but absolutely glacial progress.

>Google asleep at the wheel again. Again? They've been comatose for years. Look how they keep screwing up w/Youtube. Everything is an algorithm problem to them and when something goes wrong it's always "oops, crazy te

Why shouldn't everyone else pronounce and spell things however they feel is nicest? Because chaos.

Lucky you. Even with family as law enforcement, I've never trusted police. As a vet I'm disgusted by their lack of training and quickness to shoot first and ask questions later. Last I checked the average is 32 dogs shot by US cop

Fastmail is good. Docs is still hard to beat.

They could just stop blaming their inaction on awry algorithms. It's frankly pathetic. Then, maybe stop building features no one asked for and instead fix the broken notification system? Lastly, stop lying to their creators and and hid

Yup. They started the "rails don't scale" narrative. Something something, a good craftsman doesn't blame his tools.

Does anyone think they companies that just got the shaft have legal recourse? If nothing than just getting a pound of flesh from twitter.

After hearing so many stories like this for so many years, any time a company acquires another, it usually seems advisable to jump ship from the acquired to other vendors before things start going south. PR will come up with all sorts of re

I've been figuring for a couple years now I'd have to abandon macs once my air dies. Apple seems bound and determined to shun developers and instead sell facebook machines.

I could see that. I've heard the tools in that space are terrible. That related to your day job industry? python-based version for tabular data processing & management, ecom oriented mostly (so basically op's product), myself.

I've been brainstorming a shallow, poor-man's poor man version of this. I couldn't hope to compete. This looks incredible. Kudos!

Maybe I'm just crotchety now and/or beyond front-end fatigue but I keep thinking, "you don't need all that!"

Every 2-3 years this gets suggested again. Somebody builds something to "compile" their pet language x to JS. At the same time 3 new JS libraries or frameworks come out to abstract an abstraction. I've been writing JS since &

Brutal fines needed. If you can't keep data secure you don't need to be in business.

This sort of app gets rewritten every two years. People act like it’s the second coming every time. IRC with persistence? Oh that’s acana, slack, hipchat, whatever this year’s VC-backed boondoggle is. I haven’t seen anything new after IRC b

Real answer? They are scared cowards. The 18 year old marine in parts unknown, LEGIT scared for his life has better judgement.

Cops are laughably trained. A fresh boot from any service has more resolve than beat cops. I used to think SWAT was different but the last few years proves otherwise. As a son of a cop and former service member myself, the whole thing makes

With all the horror stories I've been reading since the 90's I'd never help any company like this (again). Discover a vulnerability and get sued or punished. Fix their bugs for them, get nothing for doing their job for them.

I am going to lose so many hours to this. Thanks!

Am I paranoid in thinking this might all just be a test to see how readily the public might open their doors?

Esp. not with this annoyance. I guess Medium is one more domain to mentally filter out.

Good! Can we not have a near perfect crop of complete losers next time? No one wants Zuck anymore than Hillary. Seems like a good way to lock in 4 more years of regret.
