There's a bit of a nuance here - his grandniece was killed in the Ethiopian 737 accident [1] so it's personal at some level for him.

Oof unfortunate that Detroit missed the cut, wonder why that happened; they seemed reasonably competitive from an outsider's perspective.

> If you are going with AMD, EPYC has quite impressive performance.

Does this imply that Dropbox has started testing out EPYC metal?

Now that the Phoenix DC is online, will there be geographical redundancy between Phoenix and NCal for Backblaze customers?

it'll throw an error if a parameter is undefined, and https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/15333 which lands in the next version auto-suggests spelling corrections as well

I wonder if their render service is still backed by racked Mac Pros (http://photos.imgix.com/racking-mac-pros). If so, considering the lack of updates around that machine for the last several years, I wonder if they are planning to remain with that solution.

There must be something else going on, because the authorization hold has been $1.25 for Lyft for as far as I've been using it.

*Mac OS X 10.6 - 10.8

Can we please fix the title? Seems pretty misleading

Why? React and React Native are both pretty core to Facebook's main applications these days (all of Instagram is written in React, there's a smattering of components all over the main Facebook page, and multiple Facebook-written applications are written in React Native, including parts of the main Facebook app). In contrast, Parse was more of a dev-infrastructure product that didn't end up impacting developer relations as much as Facebook wanted it to (I'm guessing)

I would say that it's at 90+ percent feature parity with ST3; the only real downside is that the package/extension ecosystem is nowhere near as mature as with ST3 right now, but that looks like it is changing very quickly. In addition, ST3 is closed source vs. Atom is open source, and that alone could be a good reason for a number of people to switch.

My recommendation is to give Atom a chance, see if it fits into your workflow (whether it has native support for the languages/frameworks you work in, or if packages exist). If it works out, then you have a viable alternative to ST3 :)

It switches between T-Mobile and Sprint.

Looks like they're grabbing up talent for a future Office suite competitor of sorts. Makes sense if they want to differentiate themselves as a cloud storage platform, but I do wonder how that would play into their current partnership with Microsoft as the sole "external provider" for the Office iOS apps.

One thing that needs to be considered is that SpaceX is operating in a space that has far higher risk for a (relatively) indeterminate reward right now. A single accident could severely damage the company's reputation and revenue stream, and I think their valuation might reflect this cautious approach to their business model.

Great presentation, it was very easy to follow and understand.

Quick question though: is the only reason for using Docker containers with LaTeX file compilation for providing isolation between documents? Isn't there a performance hit versus running file compilation directly on worker machines, perhaps with some sort of folder-based isolation (workers will only compile files in folders that the user has permissions to)?

My assumption was that these Macs were primarily used for automated headless testing of iOS applications; as a (relatively) cheap Mac that is able to run the simulator and whatnot, this could make sense.

This was on Reddit a couple of days ago, it seems that the Tesla door handles are able to break through ice so you can still get into the car: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYXKY7fpHWA

So correct me if I'm wrong, but they appear to have done the same thing with the Mac Mini to achieve the lower price point as they did with the iMac earlier this year, by introducing a 1.4Ghz i5 model? I don't recall the base Mac Mini being as weak before...

The Motorola Backflip (http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_backflip-3079.php) actually had a touch pad in the back that could be used in the same way trackballs were used on Blackberries. It was pretty awful to use, though that might have been because it ran Android 1.6

It won't shut down, it will just bill you at a rate of 10 cents for each additional minute used. I usually keep some extra money in my T-Mobile balance so this has never been an issue on the rare occasions I go over 100 minutes.

It seems that only Nexus devices are getting the update today, and not the Samsung/HTC Play Edition phones. It will be interesting to see when those two devices get the update; in the meantime, not all Play devices are made equal?

I just jailbroke my iPad 3 with it, works like a charm, on iOS 6.1
