You nailed why I like playing with CoffeeScript: it makes me a better JavaScript programmer. Thinking about each line, the variable names, etc. It's definitely not something I would want to use in a rush.

> "Honestly, I wasn't expecting Facebook (or this soon). I have zero personal background with them, and I could think of other companies that would have more obvious synergies."

This is the heart of the controversy. Facebook could have easily written an application / demo to integrate with Facebook, but instead they bought the whole company.

We do.

Even better analogy - fans pay artist up front to record album. Band records album and delivers it to fans.

Then band signs deal with Facebook. Fans don't understand why.

Facebook has done just as much music recording as they've done virtual reality: none.

I didn't realize this was so common:

> Tesla has won recent legislative battles in states like Washington, Ohio, New York and Minnesota, but states such as Texas, Arizona and Virginia have retained or added laws limiting the company’s ability to operate stores.

More like shining your brights to oncoming traffic: people do this all the time. No one gets 14 years for that.

I can't wait for drones to replace helicopters. Helicopters are too loud and expensive and more dangerous than they should be.

Wanna get people to really start using Python 3? Make it the default version on Ubuntu LTS.

It hinders international business. How can you negotiate with your cards on the table?

The Steam Store has been around longer than the iOS App Store. I guess that's why I was hoping for a discussion about the OS that came out today. I guess we can just talk about the OS some other time.

I don't get this. We never discuss iOS App Store or Android's Play Store when an OS update comes out. It's just a program to a new Operating System.

Code can be simple or complex just like writing. Last night my girlfriend was using a WYSIWYG editor for WordPress and getting very frustrated. I suggested using the HTML editor, and she was blown away at how much easier to make simple changes.

The few years before machines reach some kind of malevolent sentience will be the best years because they'll understand us more than we'll ever understand ourselves.

I'm pretty sure everyone is easily influenced by sales and money; that's the point.

What are you talking about? We bash Hollywood all the time. Now we're bashing East Texas - not all 26 million of you.

I was really disappointed when I realized it wasn't that. Maybe you don't need a license for that.

What kind of power did Snowden have?

An officer can force you out of the car, legally, and, if you have your cell phone in your hand, he could mistake it for a gun and kill you. It's enough to make me never want to leave my house.

The point is you get what you give. If you want a "better" service, it's going to cost you. There's no such thing as a free lunch.

I don't get it. If it he can do this, why can't someone else do the same thing? Why can't people register _that_ part of the story?

Anyone who has ever seen the show 24 can see that for every amazing tool we have to spy on Americans, there is some double-spy working within the agency using the very same tool against the government's own interest. This is exactly what is happening.

We built something we can't control. That's the story.

> Point is, there was no huge shift to MVC after it was released.

Why would you assume that if they can't move to a new architecture, they'll move to a new language and OS?

Are there penalties for being wrong or mistaken? It seems pretty one-sided.

Do you really believe a publishing company is going to put money down to print a million dollars in profit worth of books based on free content?

If someone can make a million dollars off of something that is essentially free, that person must be adding something significant in value, otherwise economics just doesn't work that way. Does it?

Your metaphor is based on people breaking laws or not. I bet the risk takers are mostly wealthier and whiter than law abiders.

Tried "pip install bpython" on Windows 7, but I get an ImportError: No module named _curses.

I think I understand your complaint. If people can take control, i.e. take responsibility, then it's imperative to show evidence they were in control if something were to go wrong.

This will always be tricky because even Toyota a couple of years ago had trouble defending against alleged bugs that turned out to be completely untrue.

It's a shame the courts can't revoke some of these patents that are completely full of shit. You'd think if a troll would just lose once, it'd be over.

Seems like this would be more expensive than it's worth, but it will probably be the future, like adding 3D to movies or pictures to books.
