I suggested this feature on the last HN article when they announced Parse powered Table Views. No one seemed to think it was a good idea then, but I'm very glad parse decided to implement it! Reference: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3401887
Just talked with Rakesh via olark (very helpful) on the Plivo site. I do a lot of stuff with Twilio and after talking with him, it sounds like Plivo has some valid strengths and advantages.
I switched to a standing desk a year ago and will never go back. The biggest benefit is that it completely got rid of my wrist pain. I'm still trying to figure out exactly why though.
The first couple of months were rough on my back, but adding a nice standing mat helped that a lot...as well as doing some back excercises like back extensions and dead lifts.
I would LOVE to have information to do that. Sadly, it's almost impossible to actually know how much a procedure will cost. Which is one of the big reasons why things cost soooo much!
I used to have constant problems with wrist pain until I switched to a stand up desk. I have no idea how/why the standup desk helps this, but it did for me. Anyone have any insights into why this helps?
"Why would colleges want to hire tenure-track professors if adjuncts can teach the same number of students for less money?" That is precisely the point. There is an oversupply of people willing to do the job and thus people are willing to do it for less money (teaching adjunct). If there were a shortage, then the university would be forced to pay more and give more benefits (hire tenure track).
Call me lazy, but this is why I don't use Postgres:
Amazon RDS is MySQL
Its that simple. I can spend a lot of time setting up and monitoring a Postgres cluster, or I can spend about 5 minutes configuring a MultiA-Z RDS instance. However, the moment Amazon offers Postgres on RDS instances, I'll make plans to switch.
I think that, more often than not, being happy requires choosing to be happy. There are far too many unplanned moments in life where, even if you've followed the other four rules, you will not be happy unless you actively choose to make lemonade out of your lemons.
Seems really high to me. I don't have any experience with mobile ads, but I used to run some pretty high traffic websites and we worked hard to get $0.50 across all of our traffic. First tier serves always got more, but it dropped off quickly.
I would settle for at least a comments plugin! That's really the only big problem with Plusify (https://github.com/lylepratt/Plusify), in order to comment on a post, you have to go to Google+.
I would ONLY be willing to use this if it returned better data than Twilio's CNAM lookups (costs $0.01) for a cheaper overall price.
So far, I've tested my number, and a few others, that I know have CNAM data that this service only provides a STATE for. Hopefully it will get better but it's not there yet for me.
I agree. While I think its great that key members in the python community are making sure key projects work together, I can't say that this will affect how I do things day to day in the short term.
In the longer term, I'm sure this interoperability will pay bigger dividends, which I'm sure is the reason behind all this anyway.
I agree with what you're saying...mostly. However, there IS a problem with devices that ONLY meet the requirements in buggy ways due to manufacturer alterations/additions. Its silly to ignore this problem and claim it doesn't exist.
I just got off the phone with ATT. I had all the charges (past and current) removed and credited to my account. I also had "Purchase Blocker" added to all 4 lines to prevent this from happening again.
I had no idea that these "services" could automatically add themselves to your wireless bill without an Opt-In. I just checked my family's account and indeed there were 2 different subscriptions on 2 different numbers. Thank you for posting this, as I have no idea how long they've been on there. Now I'm just waiting until 9:00AM CST to call ATT...
Freedom and choice cannot be broadly lumped into "ideology". Freedom and choice are integral parts of how markets function. To completely remove freedom and choice from the healthcare debate means that there should be ONE BEST solution. The reason why I value my freedom to make my own decisions about health care is because I do not think that a universal single payer system is the ONE BEST solution.
Great article! I just don't agree with the author's confidence in the "guiding hand of the government" in his conclusion. I would much rather have the freedom to purchase future options to buy healthcare rather than have my freedoms removed because the of the fear that the "average 20-year-old" may not have enough foresight to think about his/her future.
You can use WebSQL if its running on iOS or Android. You can also use Sencha's LocalStorageProxy but you might run into performance issues with that many records. If you run on PhoneGap, you can keep your existing SQLite database.
One issue with Web Site Payments Pro that might affect some HNers is that Paypal will deny Third Party Payment Aggregation business models almost 100% of the time. Stripe has no issues with TPPA as long as you don't start getting tons of chargebacks. Stripe FTW.
