I agree with this, but I read that line as meaning that there needs to be a politician that can communicate a technology focused long-term view of the economy.

All of the US candidates are using social media effectively to communicate their message, but none of them actually understand technology (witness how they talk about encryption). It would be good to have a politician that could talk about the vision of where the economy is truly going.

Sanders' projects that he's telling "the truth" but his vision of rolling back the economy to the good old days is naive. But it's not surprising that a 74 year-old would lean that way.

None of this should be surprising because the main way that politicians use technology is to target their voters.

And what allows outsourcing to be achievable? Technology, perhaps?

With more integrations. Put the two together though...

Ello! (kidding)

Django, Flask, PySpark, tons of solid GIS stuff, IPython Notebook, Ansible, etc. etc. So no.

"Smart Answers" are eeriely similar to DDG's "Instant Answers" too.

Why does it say "Kevin Rose and n others like this."

I don't have FB so I'm not logged in. Does FB have a list of "celebrity" users that it highlights when they like a post?

It's strange that you automatically assumed the four women were being patrionized.

Ansible, Redis, Postgres, Django, Linux, Nginx, Spark, Git, AngularJS, Elasticsearch. Thanks!

That isn't unique to Docker though, Ansible can do the same thing. Add Packer and Terraform and you're production-ready too.

And often tools that the developer masses love optimize for getting started quickly ("I can spin up an instance of Elasticsearch in one line!") instead of what is sustainable.

I'm genuinely confused: how can you develop a new database without a technical co-founder? I mean they clearly pulled it off but how did they even start?

Happy New Year. Let's work towards the best version of ourselves, as long as it isn't taking advantage of others.

Yeah it reminds me of that one episode of "Silicon Valley":

"No one told me that I didn't have to take the money!"

Ha, I don't live on the West Coast.

Yeah that one always cracks me up. Every startup says "everyone here is really smart."

Everyone says that. So everyone is really smart. So it doesn't matter.

If anything URLs aren't used enough in SPAs. They can help users share a state, for example, the results in the page when a certain filter is applied. Even data-intensive web applications can benefit from sharing and embedding. And everyone, including my parents know how to share a link.

I made a conscious decision a few months ago to decrease the number of online articles I read. I realized that I wasn't finishing most of them (and most people don't) and if I wasn't learning any relevant to me then they were basically trivia.

I've concentrated more on slimming down my book shelves by getting to all of those books that I always wanted to. I'm finding them more illuminating and enjoyable than any short article. I find them more likely to change my viewpoint than any catchy article could because someone dedicated months, if not years, to put their work out there.

As far as finding time, unless you're busy from when you wake up into when your head is back on the pillow you can find time for what you feel is important enough. For me I've cut scrolling through articles and social media for something more substantial.

Silly article, but isn't Trello doing pretty well? They take it to the next level by making lists of lists of lists accessible.

Yeah, but doctors don't care about startups. Or at least the ones that want to continue to practice medicine.

I agree, but notice the person's comment was diplomatic. It wasn't trashing Apple, just stating a different viewpoint. And he/she thought it was necessary to remain anonymous for that.

"Another developer who preferred to remain anonymous, out of concern for damaging their relationship with Apple, looks at it differently."

Hilarious to me that if you even softly criticize Apple you have to do it anonymously in fear of retribution. Must be an awesome company to work with.

Definitely not a fan of Epic but the article could have mentioned this: https://open.epic.com

Yeah for the sake of healthcare I hope athena continues to grow. Keep up the good work!

Well they cared enough to pay for these ads, so yeah.

Lessig seems to be too in love with the idea to the point that he doesn't realize that the execution is what matters.

He would've been better off organizing people to get one or more of the legit Dem candidates to promise to work on this reform if elected.

This also assumes that the president has enough influence to get meaningful reform passed which isn't a reality with the current Congress.

Was it from a Walgreens near you? Wondering if the delivery person just finds the closest source to your location.

I remember in elementary school the popular kids passed around a survey in which they ranked every student in our grade based on some nebulous combination of attractiveness, coolness, etc.

This will probably not be that much different.

I tried Sublevel when it started, but wasn't getting much out of it. I posted a lot, followed a bunch of strangers and tried to have conversations with them.

Eventually I stopped checking it at all and forgot about it.

I think the people on it appreciate the qualities that you mention, but unfortunately those features don't add up to a burgeoning and intriguing social network.

Perhaps Facebook and Twitter are the last massive timeline-oriented social networks and there just isn't anything else innovative to do.

Google's Keep was the Evernote killer for me. It loads faster and I can start a note or list quicker. Trello fills the other gaps to the point that Evernote is just an archive of notes that I rarely have to consult.
