Yes, but Instagram and Parse are services that fall within Facebook's major product area and have teams with related experience to Facebook's daily operations. Oculus is not a service, just a technology; one that has no relation (nor clear route to one) to any Facebook-held product.

Not to mention how few books remain in print or sell new after only two or three years.

For what its worth, pretty much every world market out there is dominated by vendors that make bad products and rarely care. Usually just a few, even.

Build baby, build.

But is that reason to be mean and obstruct anyone who challenges your comfort zone?

Just to share an awesome GitHub feature that I learned about when doing a similar integration as you; your repository also tracks all Pull Request related commits. Really helpful when you're trying to build these sorts of tools in the future. If you set refspec to the following then you'll get automated builds for any commit activity related to all Pulls. Its saved me tons of time writing middleware to handle these things.

  +refs/pull/*:refs/remotes/origin/pr/*

The major Jenkins plugins have their respective build-on-new-commits, so you can automate these builds and just treat these like feature branches.'

To many, love.

Why so much 'Ask PG' lately when he never replies, let alone read them?

Political theatre, for its own sake, is a very effective way of attracting press coverage and staying in the news. Has been a go-to in the radical playbook for nearly a century now.

... and thus another feudal aggregator platform is born.

Oops! My intention was that some people have preferences to something that just works and stays out of their way. Not that any killer feature convinces someone to use a tool, but the opposite. Overall accessibility to a specific user is the only thing that matters. :)

FWIW, I'd use Sublime if all vim bindings worked but that's not possible given its other critical features nor the project's current goal.

Hand-waving is easy, dialog is hard.

After the 25mil from a16z, I doubt these problems will continue for much longer.

Let's not forget how much mobile devices by Apple, Google, and company assist in navigating public transportation.

They are most certainly encouraging better public transportation. This doesn't excuse blocking the bus. I wouldn't argue that they're doing it out of pure goodwill, but its crazy to ignore how much efficiency and value their apps have added to the system. Not to mention the drastically increased accessibility to people new or too confused to ride prior to this.

Which is probably why they use Sublime Text.

Just to close this out, out of respect for the lives of Milton, the cop, Josh all others cited above... I'm not really a cyclist. I like it, its fun, and I ride safe on the handful of rides I have each year.

But I might be a pedantic little shit. ;)

Let me know when a cyclist last killed a cop and lets talk about who got charged what.

Also, you still are equating Failure to Stop's (which sure, could maybe someday cause some sort of fatal whatever someday whenever)... with the actual, real, actual loss of life.

Insultingly vile.

So, it'd be on the cover of HN and we'd just all but assume 'eh, he was a driver so I have to wonder what actually happened?'

I don't see how traffic laws have anything to do with respect for life or equality in the eyes of the law.

You've provided a perfect example of the cognitive dissonance that immediately manifests when cycling, traffic, and law are discussed. These are easy points to grab onto, based on one's own frustrated anecdotes. Unfortunately, its selection bias at its least. Cars are everywhere and almost hit you every 10 minutes you're behind the wheel. You know how to look for them, you're forced to when you are being evaluated for your license. Suddenly a cyclist comes along, the first one you notice that is, and once they act even a little sketchy you get to tick another box in your selection bias.

Were he to be 'hit by a police car' while driving in his motorcycle or compact car, and likely killed, would we be discussing the validity of his death and its relation to the traffic habits of other cars/motorcycles/Ferrari drivers? I dare you to tell us yes.

Meanwhile, this is completely independent of the issue of legal respect for life. The disproportionate number of charges dropped or DA's not charing offenders for incidents that involve cyclist deaths.

How long until the stolen lives of bicyclists are treated with the same respect as pedestrians and drivers?

A 'police car' hits a person, not the person driving the vehicle? The police officer's injuries detailed, yet no actual details of the accident of quotes from witnesses? Lets see if charges are pressed for this potential vehicular manslaughter... or even a criminal investigation! You know it would be if this were a pedestrian or other driver. My law-abiding friend, during a group ride in the bike lane, was struck and killed last month on Highway 1. The cops let the driver off, his illegal speeding and loss of control of his vehicle being simply 'an accident.'

So, who wants to bet this cop will face charges?

The entire SF office for Beatport was hardly 18 months old. I've been told it was built as a small satellite office strictly to get SF-quality talent for specific promotional projects, since they couldn't get enough in Denver.

Thank goodness I declined that offer!

Its perfect, and the future business model of 2014:

It is implied that the purchaser would be a third-party with the ultimate intention of waiving whatever debts that a traditional debt collector would pursue.

Sometimes Ops takes 48 hours to resolve tickets.

Some people overlook the potential for concussions or traumatic head injuries, anything except massive skull damage, when considering safety headgear. Cycling is a very diverse activity and many only consider safety issues they expect to encounter.

Never, ever, ever trust anyone or anything that suddenly reappears after a major bust by the authorities. NEVER.

Move on.

Expect some coming very soon. Any requests?

About 3 hours of exercises out of an upper division CS textbook interspersed with not-so-subtle references to alcohol and cocaine.

To many, the dream of the Internet was a space to challenge and re-evaluate these structures. Something likened to starting fresh, naive as it may be.

People have been disappointed with the seeming death of this dream, and very recent revelations have exposed just how much that dream failed to be achieved. And very vocal, as one would expect from a league of very frustrated dreamers.
