Amazing write up, very helpful. I especially liked how heanages to not even conclude wether bitcoin should exist or not. Rare sight on the internet these days, reason that is.
Sounds like he needs a career gap year. But then ive been saying that about jeff for years. So whiny.
Some of us still enjoy toys and the shiny. Its not like we go out of our way to use this shit in production before its out of beta. We use it on pet projects in our own time because its fun, its thought provoking, it leads to new ways of doing things elsewhere, its learning - and thats why i love it, thats why i do what i do.
Edit, nothing like a whinge from jeff to get me riled and ranting to the point I just realised how pationate i am about learning and tech. Doubleplusgood day made.
You know many countries are working on giving the internet natural right status.
If the net wasnt neutral there would be no google we'd all be stuck using yahooor dogpile. The net and all its services would look a lot more like cable was begining to. I find it hard to take anyone seriously when they are defending companies that would have you pay in the blood of your first born if they could get away with it. You think the net would have gone mainstream? You think that facebook would exist? Amazon?
The world has changed with open unfiltered acess to the internet, anything trying to lock it down and monopolise the network transmissions at a base level is incredibly unethical and an attack on so many parts if your life now.
Its too much of a burden on carriers to be regulated like they should be? Fuck me man, its too much of a burden on the world at large not to.
The fcc needs to call them carriers, be done with it, fix the pricing, fix the dodgy dealing and if need be deregulate the issues that seem to be getting isps in such a huf.
Its like silver vs gold. The volume for silver is much higher as its price range is a lot more manageable for people. I also wouldnt be suprised if just one person created the majority of these to push hype. Theyre all a bunch of ponzi schemes. Sadly i also think theyre here to stay for at least a long while.
I wont be able to test it out for a few hours, how is the latency from australia if anyone knows? is it still usable, by usable i mean -never- have to wait for the net to unlag. Id love to use something like cloud 9 but the lag issue is pretty huge.
Entire post comparing php, a language, against rails standards and bias about what a framework should be. How about you compare php against ruby or python for web development, there it is obvious how php got where it and why it is here to stay. Or how about we compare rails to symfony or fuel or even zend, then we're getting to where the real contention points are.
In any case, can we stop using php4 in comparisons against frameworks still in their diapers.
i agree anyone bright enough to tie ones own shoes wouldnt head to murica for an "education", japan, china, russia, germany, sweeden, australia, new zealand, all have far better higher education systems.
I cant recall the quote but someone once said the best devepopment methodology was to hire a bunch of 10x developers, lock them in a room with a mission statement and leave them to their own devices.
The problem with that is not much unlike waterfall, it provides little to no transparencyfor the employing party, very little accountability and almost no meaningful measureability.
You reaply have no way of knowing this is how it happened for this guy. Id even hazard a guess and say he ran out of his savings cushion and then ran out of credit, cause like, thats what he said in the first 6 words.
I dont know what your trying to add to this conversation but its not helping anyone that reads these forums.
