what a big and beautiful system!

This has got to be super frustrating as an app developer. Not incredibly surprising, coming from Apple.

wow such a good idea i am so glad this service exists to make my day a little better!

yeah they always make me happy. i wish i had chocolate around the house tho but i don't so i'll just drink this glass of water instead. can you send me a gif of chocolate maybe to cheer me up?

o hai edna_piranha i ate half a sandwich leftover from lunch i tried ordering it from orderahead to support the sharing economy (i share my credit card info with them and they share sandwiches with me, it's win-win) but they said it would take a few days to deliver it from the Mission to Tennessee, so I went to a local deli instead. also I had an apple and an ice cream bar from a gas station.

the DAU/MAU is through the roof on this one tho. we'll be able to give brands some premium placement in front of choice consumers of unique internet content in an expeditious and edgy manner that legacy traditional advertisers like WhatsApp and RapGenius can't match.

it's not polite to abuse mod privileges on people who disagree with you. it is also not too much a leap of the imagination to expect a mod of a popular forum to understand the inns and outs of netiquette.

sry for your cat

your comment is a glitch cause im sure you didn't mean to say that, maybe hn needs to invest in some ECC ram to guard against cosmic rays or something

cme for the snds sty for the gifs

dont be a sourpuss; it's bad nettiquette

ya but do u have an accent

it is rly hard basically u have to look like zuck YMMV

i think your valuation is a little low and unfounded based upon recent M&A activity among comparable companies!

i was having a really bad day because my dog died and a VC called me fat but then I found this service and I have to say this is a really great service I think it will solve world hunger eventually but before that it will change the dynamism with which we interact with and share from our daily lives and those of others. my only complaint is that this didn't come out earlier when there was still time to save my third marriage!

i am currently on a plane. i would love something like this. apps like spinlister and flitecar let me make every city my own city. this fits in that same mold.

This is so much better than we deserve.

Somewhat related, the recently launched Bay Area Bike Share system has a not-too-well-publicized API at http://bayareabikeshare.com/stations/json

The number one reason to write CLI apps in node is npm. npm gets package management right, preferring local dependencies to global ones - this means no worrying about what version of a library a user has in their global environment.

You also get to bring node's parallel io-centric patterns to your scripting. Need to download a bunch of files from a remote host, process them, and write them to disk? Go for it.

But take it with a grain of salt: it's very much a use-what-you-know kind of thing.

I actually think this promotion was extremely on-brand for what this startup is (or was) doing. I can't speak to the regulatory compliance angle, but the fact is that this was clever, effective, and well-placed customer contact. It's not the risk profile that I would personally look for, but it is a little sad to see so many on HN rushing to condemn it.

We can't have nice things when people who claim to be "disruptive" are actually busy pursuing safe, risk-averse targets.

"You are insane" sounds like a great compliment to a marketer.

I'm pretty sure they mean marketing approval, not regulatory approval. Parse before you preach.

The amount of knee-jerking on this thread is why we can't have nice things.

Does Arq fit the OP's use case of backing up files to AWS without keeping them on your local machine?

While the Promises/A+ specification is primarily focussed on JavaScript, the concept of promises certainly did not originate in JavaScript. For that matter, there are actually a number of implementations of Promises/A+ in other languages and platforms: https://github.com/promises-aplus/promises-spec/blob/master/...

Q has `Q.all()` which does the same thing: https://github.com/kriskowal/q/wiki/API-Reference#promiseall

Might it not be likely that an application dependent on weather data is actually limited to locations for which weather data is available, regardless of population?
