if(foo) bar();
I understand why you may think if(foo) { bar(); }
is better, but it's unnatural for most peopleBut I agree in general that the documentation is paltry. Good opportunity for an interested person to do some more digging, write a few blog posts and possibly contribute to the documentation :)
For browser-based scripts, usually a minified and an unminified version are made available. That unminified version is usually the product of a script that concatenates other, smaller scripts. This leads to a perceived high level of duplication (because, after all, they are the same functions and code). For whatever reason, even in private mode, the exclude patterns are not followed.
Also, the linter is much more aggressive than jshint/jslint (in many cases, for no good reason). For example, in a function whose sole purpose is to do bit twiddling (interpreting a set of bytes as an IEEE 754 double), the linter complains `Unexpected use of '&'`. (the original line was `c3 = (e3 & 3) << 6 | e4;`). Akin to JSHint flags, there should be flags to control the linter.
I gave an upvote. I suspect others downvoted the comment because it spoke well of Resolver One, which is competing in the same space as DataNitro (a YC company).
> 62 percent of Airbnb hosts say Airbnb helped them stay in their homes
The statement seems to suggest that most people wouldn't be able to afford their homes if it weren't for airbnb, but I'm pretty sure that wasn't the question they posed. If you asked "would you be able to afford your home or apartment without airbnb?", then you'd see far less than 62%.
> Airbnb visitors stay on average 6.4 nights (compared to 3.9 for hotel guests) and spend $880 at NYC businesses (compared to $690 for average New York visitors).
The monies paid to rent a hotel room is money paid to a NYC business and is omitted from this count. If it were counted, using the average stay numbers people contribute more to the economy by staying at the hotel than with airbnb.
Another looming question is whether you should count new yorkers who use airbnb to stay in other places. this study doesn't consider that factor at all, and it's likely that the loss to the NYC economy due to those people exceeds the gain due to others coming into the city.
I think the point boils down to:
1) dollars paid to hosts are counted towards the city economy (ostensibly most of those would be spent in the city) -- this is direct
2) renters need to eat etc, and those monies should be counted to the economic activity -- this is indirect
I wish the author actually described his/her conception of this panacea. It's possible that "paypal's decade-long fumbling" reflects the reality that the perfect product does not exist.
On the other hand, soylent is making the claim that it's healthy to use soylent as a complete replacement for food. Thus, the standards are much higher in terms of truth in marketing.
Generally, the bootstrapper focuses on building a sustainable business early on (whereas the VC-funded startups try until the wellspring dries up)
There are many people competent enough to write a lisp in PHP, but most are working for companies that still work with PHP (of which there are many, including some pretty high-profile companies)

But my point was that, while market cap is all that matters, people still fixate on round numbers
On the other hand, It's more likely that we see the headline "$1T company" than "$3030.30/sh"
Those concerns are completely unrelated to their algorithm. I doubt they want to maintain many Youtube UIs.
