Am I the only one that's never heard of this company?

Well said.

I used to think the same thing until my friend got a ticket for "exhibition of speed."[1] Essentially yes, you can get a ticket for accelerating too quickly even you're just accelerating to the speed limit.

The whole thing issue was that it had to run in IE8.

I found this spreadsheet[1] to be pretty interesting. Obviously it's anonymous so take the data with a grain of salt.

Is everyone missing the point of this? It's a proof-of-concept app using an alpha[1] framework that, in a year or two, will likely be one of the dominant frameworks on the web. I for one find real examples like this much more useful than underwhelming "Todo"[2] examples. Yes, it's slow. Yes, it has lots of bugs but hell, at least the author is giving it a shot. I just hope they write a decent blog post about it with some of the lessons learned.

I think it's the firebase api that's slowing everything down.

Slack is good but it's nothing revolutionary that would merit the valuation. My main argument against their crazy valuation is that there's no lock in so it'd be easy for teams to move on to the "next big thing." Also, see http://getkaiwa.com/

It's interesting to note that in every year that someone finishes, they add additional parts to the course making it more difficult for the competitors in the following year.

In 2013, Nick Hollon finished in 57:41 and Travis Wildeboer in 58:41. A new hill was added, "foolish stu", increasing the total climb to over 60,000 feet.

In 2014, Jared Campbell got his second finish in 57:50. Another new hill, Hiram's Vertical Smile, brings the total climb to 62,680 ft.[1]

I believe the person was paying month to month so the per month deposit just refers to general security deposit.

As someone who lives a few blocks from where this complex is going up, I don't know what these people are smoking. $3000 for 360 sq foot apartment is utterly absurd, even in NY. I pay far less than that for a nice apartment in a doorman building so I don't know who would in their right mind would pay for these. I could see _maybe_ paying if this complex were going up in a prime neighborhood like the West Village or Tribeca, but way over on 27th street which is a half mile (which is considered far in Manhattan) from the nearest subway station, no way.

I've been writing most of my Javascript in ES6 recently and I agree that it's simply fantastic and still has a lot of potential to be explored when it comes to creating modern apps and frameworks. My main problem is that we're going to be stuck using transpilers for quite a while as by the time all of the browsers finally[1] catch up to ES6, ES7 will be released. Unfortunately, there's not much we can do about slow vendors.

Holy crap. I count over 100 cases of Monster suing people/companies so I have zero sympathy for them in this case. The real kicker on Monster Cable is that their products aren't even worth the price being outperformed by "inferior" cables costing way, way less[1][2].

It may not be for illegal activity but showing a specific customers purchases for the sake of a blog post is a terrible business practice. I'd never buy anything from this person.

Note: If anyone was wondering what STM was, it stands for Software Transactional Memory. The read the docs page gives a good overview[1] of what pypy-stm is.

Agreed. It links some article about how Germany is a "powerhouse" and then goes on to make some seemingly stereotypical claims about why.

As a once and future car nut, the idea of electric superchargers have been around for a while. What I'd like to see is how an electric supercharger is better than a mechanical supercharger other than more fine grained control over the motor.

For the non motor heads:

Turbo: exhaust spins a compressor which shoves more air into the engine producing more power.

Supercharger: a pulley running off the engines main drive spins a compressor which shoves more air into the engine producing more power.

Electric Supercharger: electricity powers a compressor which shoves more air into the engine, producing more power.

One of the main reasons electric superchargers haven't really caught on is that power to spin the supercharger has to come from the alternator which itself derives its power from the engine. So in essence, a mechanical supercharger does the same job but it cuts out the alternator as the middle man. Granted, I tend to think in terms of what will generate the most HP and torque for the least cost so suppose with the right programming and fine tuning the ECM and the electric supercharger, one could achieve excellent fuel mileage which seems to be their goal.

Good for them. I don't understand why a service would require a 3rd party username and password for any reason if an API Key/Oauth solution existed.

Or better yet since dashboards are so terrible, let's all go download 10 million line CSV files. While I've seen my fair share of terrible/useless dashboards, many do provide some sort of insight into the data that previously would have only been gained by aggregating log files or running complex sql queries.

What if it's an event that happens infrequently, say 2 times year? In such cases, it wouldn't be worthwhile to spend the time automating when it's easier/cheaper to take manual action.

>"Corollary: No one needs real-time"

If you've ever run service where you're anticipating a large traffic spike and you need to monitor server stats, real-time statistics are invaluable.

I've put money on an unlimited card and it doesn't work. When the card expires, swiping it merely brings up the "card expired" message and there's no way to deduct the remaining balance.

Last time I went they asked me if I wanted my burger animal style so I don't think it's really a hack. Now a quesarito is true hack.

Agreed. I recently deleted my Snapchat account as the novelty of it had worn off and none of my friends really used it anymore.

Ah thanks for the insight. I just hate when I go to buy a $20 ticket and by the time I actually get the ticket, it cost me $35 with all the extra charges tacked on.

I'm glad for any company that wants to overthrow Ticketmaster and their "convenience charge" that they tack on to every ticket.

Dude, you shouldn't shill on someones product launch especially since you're not providing meaningful feedback on how your product differentiates itself from Aptible.
