Unfortunately this discussion is full of pot cliche and neo liberal bias that only leads to “sobriety” and fear of taint on your “career” .. marijuana is just like coffee and really you can vilify that but honestly the sidewalk leads to oth

on a same note: why does instagram hate on non-mobile UI? on desktop the constant ping to install an ios app, but you're on x86 man. that constant prompt of the camera button when I'm on a x86. it may have worked when mobile was y

liked kara swisher's point on cnbc, that so much wealth + influence has bought into uber that it is truly too big to fail. too many wealthy investors and deep SV network will ensure that it not melt down (unlike ?).

I'm not against text underneath, just the sense logic needs to get much better with dev tools. it's like we're ignoring our own needs :] intellij + eclipse (worse), and that old model of an IDE requires too much elbow wring

Pontificating but for ide + editor replacement: someday we'll see ai/ml features that aide in opening files and keeping the right blobs of code nearby, maybe pre fetch good goog links that can drop down on a whim panel. Even some

Yeh, I imagine another Bezos directive is coming soon. "automate it all or close down!" like he did with service api's so where's his smarts on this? the conspirator in me thinks maybe he figured out its better to hire l

i'll say it again, there's a really cool Don DeLillo book in this Theranos burn out .. "Through it, we see a world in which no one ever has to say ‘goodbye’ too soon, and people are able to leverage engagement with their heal

always wondered why an open source service hasn't risen up and become partly useful like twitter. there was talk back in the app.net days with lots of wonder for what developers would do with an open twitter-like system, with open clie

in WAZE they went ahead and dropped the "while using the app" option for gps privacy. it has become rude actually, so now i turn off location services instead of micro-managing the unmanageable.

o u said steve jobs: really his announcement of the ipod was an incredible speech .. it ties together tech+art+music+apple and his vision appears pretty fresh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kN0SVBCJqLs

this is always a top one for me, he presents so well and kind of nails down the concepts. but even more so, he sounds like the architect in the matrix having dialogue with some critics.

yeh never understand why they cannot link desktop and mobile, not a mention of the bridge pattern? is it hard or do you not like the desktop people? not a mention of why is really daft. totally weird of them that ios has completely differe

It also seems like there's no push from the buy side, in CA we're all sheep. likely b/c there is no community so the rent-taking can wratchet up all day long. I think if people en masse began to reject extortion rent we coul
