I think it's pretty safe to say that YouTube already dominates both the content and viewership of online user-created video content.

I'm just getting an Error while trying to get to the Survey form.

Ah! You're right. Totally missed it in the paragraph under that photo. My mistake :-)

I was surprised to see that the most prevalent "myth" about Autism -- that is is caused by early childhood vaccinations -- wasn't mentioned. Especially since that myth is making the rounds again after Donald Trump stated it as fact during the last Republican Presidential Debate.

EDIT: I was mistaken, it was mentioned. Bad reading on my part :-)

Here in the Midwest we have several highways that are now 75.

I'm most excited for VR headsets to replace my desktop monitors. Infinitely sized displays in 360 degrees around me...I think that's where the real future is for these things. And doing that won't require nearly the hardware power that a 3D game does. The main thing holding it back is that the displays in the Oculus are still a little too low-resolution to make text 100% crisp and clear. I fully expect that a couple of years from now, though, I'll be ditching my monitors for a VR headset.

Oh, okay, I must have misread the article then. Sounds good :-)

Is it really true that Lambdas can take 5 minutes to start up? Doesn't that rule them out as useful for things like running a website (instead of just background jobs)? Or does the article mean 5 minutes from the first time you deploy a new one to the time it's available, but after that new lambdas can be spun up in milliseconds to server each request?

Is there a reason you guys decided to have it "listen" to all messages as opposed to requiring a /slash command (which would then only send /slash messages to your servers?)

Learn how to manage your money so that you control your lifestyle, rather than letting it control you. Start simple by keeping track of your expenses, then develop a budget so that you aren't spending all of your money every month. Eventually you'll get to the point where you have the option to do what you enjoy in life rather than feeling like you're trapped on an endless treadmill.

If you want something to do right this minute, just start working with Mint or You Need a Budget (depending on how automated you want things).

Not a whole lot of actual evidence to judge by yet. Will all depend on the supposed contract they claim Lucky signed, and how similar the prototype he built for them is to what was showed during the Kickstarter campaign. Amusing the parallels here between Lucky and Zuckerberg.

I think some of these are definitely a bit on the side of hyperbole such as the ones you listed there, but I think as a whole this is a solid list of things that it's worth reading while considering ways in which you or your colleagues may have unconsciously had a bias that you may not have recognized. It certainly opened my eyes the first time I read it on a number of fronts (I had read it previously).

That's a fine thought, until Chrome adopts a new standard in Chrome v46, but half the Android population is still running Chrome v38.

I have no problem with the forks. I have a problem with the fact that they will absolutely not be kept up to date. The article already mentions that new LG phones are being sold with a Chrome fork 4 versions behind the one on the newer LG phones. In time that gap is only going to widen.

And that's just the shiny new features. There are constantly bugs (including security issues) being fixed. What about those?

When Apple first said they would only allow a single web rendering engine on iOS, at first I was heavily against the idea. But now as a web developer who is absolutely not looking forward to the inevitable "people running around with 10 version out of date Chromium browsers", I'm starting to think Apple had the right idea. I can test a website on a single iOS device and know it will work the same on all devices in that version of iOS even if they are using "Chrome on iOS" or "Opera on iOS" or any other browser. I have no idea how I'm supposed to test a site for 13 different Chromium forks. And as time goes on, they will only grow more and more divergent from the main Chromium branch, which means they won't have bug fixes or new features.

It's incredible to see how apparently progressive Kansas used to be. As someone who lives here now, I always assume we're going to be one of the slowest (I guess "most conservative" might be a nicer way of putting it) states to adapt to social change. But I guess I really would have liked the Kansas that existed before the middle of the last century...

If it's from a tape, why not post the tape?

It's one thing to have two ways of doing kanban boards, but there is definitely very much a "look and feel" copying going on here that I'm not sure is legal.

I assume he means per hour.

Are there other male workers getting hired right now at the same rate you were? 2 years is a long time and it's entirely possible they changed their pay scale in that time. If there are other males being hired right now for higher pay with the same experience level then that is indeed a problem. But I wouldn't jump in without knowing as much information as possible.

Interesting! Might have to look into replacing our use of jQuery UI with this...

SEEKING FREELANCER - REMOTE

Roll20 is looking for an independent contractor to help us work on a few new features. We'd want to hire you for 30-40 hours per week, and this is a long-term engagement (as in, at least the next 6 months, and possibly longer). It's 100% remote, we operate currently in Pacific, Central, and Eastern time zones so there's a lot of flexibility.

We're looking for a junior to mid-level person who has experience with Javascript, Canvas, and HTML5 tech such as WebGL and WebRTC. Your main job will be to help us expand the service by building new features under the direction of our Lead Developer (me), and then do a few other miscellaneous tasks such as basic tech support and possibly some very light Linux server administration (if you know how to SSH into a server you're more than qualified for that part of it).

Our stack is:

Javascript

Ruby (Padrino)

PostreSQL

NodeJS

Firebase

If you're interested in taking this on, send an email to jobs@roll20.net with a brief introduction as well as a link to your previous work (e.g. a Github profile) and your hourly rate. Mention that you saw the ad on HN and we'll put you at the top of the list.

Thanks!

There's another article here which mentions that specifically.

"Carefully-controlled? The ads will only be seen and heard in the US for now, on SoundCloud’s own website and mobile apps – not in tracks embedded elsewhere on the web and/or listened to elsewhere in the world."

I'd be interested in information like this for drones that are fully programmable (wasn't there one that could run NodeJS?)

Haha, thanks!

Nice job! I did some similar work for our 3D Dice on Roll20. Looking at your code you did a nicer job than I did :-)

How interesting. For example, this one was recently linked via the Twitter account: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=616585674&oldid=615...

Changing it from "corporate lawyer" to "attorney". I assume that someone believes the latter is more "on message" for the Congressman's campaign efforts.

I imagine most of these edits are similarly innocuous and subtle, but it's interesting to see what things the folks up in Washington think are worth having an intern update to help facilitate their plans.

As others have said, this totally depends on:

1) What your company's setup was. If it was an LLC, Corp, or other such entity, then you in theory have at least some protection, assuming as well that

2) When you did business with this other company, you can show (legally) that they knew they were doing business with your company, and not you as an individual. What you put down as your address probably doesn't matter, what matters is what the communications between you said (e.g. did you contact them from a company-related email address and say "I'm ordering X for my company Y?"), did you sign the contract as a "Member" or "Manager" or "CEO" or whatever of your company, etc. This is what it would come down to in court that you'd be trying to prove (assuming 1) was in place).

As with any situation like this it's all in the details of your specific case, get a lawyer to talk to you for an hour and they can give you a good overview and it's worth doing if you might owe $20k. For example, even if 1) and 2) check out, if the debtor can show that you paid yourself money from your company before the company paid its outstanding debts, they may be able to get at least some money from you personally even if the company's accounts are dry (basically, you can't just take money and run from a company and leave company debts on the books). That's just one example of what might complicate your situation, IANAL and there are probably a lot more. So, again, get a real lawyer.

I've been thinking of trying to work on this myself. Both as a way to manage stress in my life and as a way to put myself in a better creative mindset. Any good resources/tips?

Which is amazing. Serious kudos for making it so darn easy. Once you have a token, you no longer have to care what the original payment method was. Absolutely how it should be.
