oh. I see what we are dealing with here. a criminal.
yeah you can break into anyone's homes without a computer, imagine that media!
he should use that to save Twitter but good on him for getting his priority straight and putting human lives over some glorified text publishing app that gives the world an insight into our most mundane daily mental noise that we otherwise would've never spewed if it wasn't for such social media platforms.
Maybe poor on average can't exercise or buy health shit because they are working enriching those fucking joggers lives by working in factories, restaurants, kitchen, toilet and whatever other material whims of the privileged.
Gene Kan (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_Kan) also had the same idea, until he shot himself while working on a distrubted peer to peer real time search engine in front of his computer I think.
I heard about him when I watched a documentary about Napster.
No documentary about Gene Kan exists. He is virtually unknown but his work was an important contribution.
November 2016: Square files for Bankruptcy. Do the simple math, they lose money year after year in bigger amounts.
This will buy Square some time while it shops around for a buyer but that's assuming the capital market is still liquid and happy and there's no market downturn.
what use case is there for graphql? and what does meteor have to do with it?
I have looked at ArangoDB and really hope it takes off, it has some pretty nifty features I think just at this point the lack of integration with frameworks like Meteor.js is holding me back.
Scaling twitter is fucking overrated if you look at the work engineers at WhatsApp did. There's a reason why a whatsapp engineer is worth 100 more than the average twitter engineer.
The twitter tears are flowing in this thread
I guess it wasn't enough for me to stay and read it.
Have a feeling that Twitter is one of the uniocorns to go next year.
He's approaching this as a simple restructure & pray with engineering teams when in fact the problem is a much more serious problem, there's a loss of confidence in Twitter from investors.
I guess cutting when investors feel like it's due is a good way to appear like you are making changes when in fact the problem with Twitter is much more deep rooted and a fundamental flaw.
1) Investors realize twitter is horrible for monetization
2) Investors are out of patience or trust
3) Twitter scrambles to find a sustainable revenue source.
4) Twitter cuts off Hootsuite and launches competing business
5) Twitter's massive botnets disappear revealing only a small number of it's userbase is active sparking SEC involvement.

TIL some people make literally a 100 times what the average person makes.
just overall message is not clear as to what benefit it provides.
way too complicated. the logo was distracting as hell too.
that has no relevance here. Germany vs North America for gods sakes.
I wonder how much lawsuit will fly in their direction now
you can drop your wallet a hundred times and people in Korea and Japan will return it to you.

I've heard reactions from Canadians who go to Korea or Japan and they are puzzled that nobody would steal, even if wallet was bulging with cash and the guy was passed out on the streets, he doesn't have to worry.
To me this is the success of a homogenous neo-confucius brings order in society. Self reflection and honor prevents a cesspool of cultures ready to rip each others throats from forming.
I ponder if Western societies can continue to function if they just keep letting anyone of any background and culture in especially when they choose not to integrate and shout 'racism' when they have to do something that requires the slightest bit of thinking and respect.
Sometimes I look at my city, shootings, the violence, gangs, mental illnesses and ponder what life would've been like in Korea or Japan.
this is why when i test out my app i turn off ad blocker but since ublock no problems
is there any one of these that will let me produce blog content like Medium? Really like how easy Medium is to read
Reason why the Chinese might be cooperating is because the US has a very significant person of interest on their soils, one that the Chinese party is desperate to get back because this man knows state secrets and inner workings of the secretive CCP.
what benefit does high frequency traders provide to rest of society? none. they raise the cost of transactions of all investors. it should be banned and those brought to justice.
was the video recorded with a potato?
meh. to me the offering of segment carries very little benefit. it's great being able to swap in and out of different SaaS but honestly, I did not find the value offering to be significant because you end up fiddling with less than 3 or 4, 10 at extreme cases.
Ultimately, I ended up going with Mixpanel because they offered pretty much everything I wanted in analytics. I have integrated Segment everywhere but ended up ripping it all out once I realized that I had bought into the marketing.
how can downloading youtube videos be illegal? roms & emulators are perfectly legal.
if it was illegal why would it still exist publicly?
if something was illegal you bet your ass the USG will take it down.

I wonder what the numbers are like for Canadians
this is exciting! even more exciting would be when the regime collapses. what sort of war crimesque stories would we hear? ex. who was sending the messages on the number stations?
imagine one day, north korea....the horrors that would be unveiled while the world sat by looking the other way. it would be the biggest embarassment of humanity. in our modern day and age, in this day of UN and international bullshit, we allow a nationwide gulag to operate and continue to attack south korea.
