Not working for me...

EDIT: Got it to work. Need a paid account and an API key that was generated after you convert a free trial to a paid account.

I had he exact opposite reaction: expecting it to be US-exclusive and got to the last paragraph where it said they don't support any US banks. Big ole' :-( face.

These two sentences were not parseable: "What if we head to Rockville and buy Daniel a beer or 2. May you fetch me a bottle of water?"

Same, although excusable since they are new.

Don't forget:

sites.google.com wiki.google.com apps.google.com

This probably scanned Google's old Sites product; the equivalent of Geocities for the early '00's.

From the authors philosophical standpoint, I think this is indeed very interesting. I hate having to open up multiple instances of the dev tools since they are tied to the tab instance.

This seems to be over 10 years old...

Completely agree. You can argue that sharing is uploading to another person. Obviously not downloading it.

This really isn't about sharing, its about sending the content outwards. The subsequent action will dictate whether its to share or pass to another program or even copying for a later paste.

Its sending the "thing" outwards...away from yourself. To something else.

But you also don't want to focus just on sales.

In the end, every business model will have a more optimal and less optimal emphasis on sales, marketing, user feedback, etc...

Most B2B and B2C startups may in fact need more focus on sales...but a B2B2C company may find it misleading. If your customer is not your end user, focusing on sales and not marketing can actually be quite dangerous.

You guys are missing us, HelloWallet http://www.hellowallet.com

Been in DC for over 4 years. Have hosted many meetups and we are growing...very very fast. We are based in the West End, off of 22nd and M st NW.

We LOVE the DC startup scene. We want to build it out and make it the "Silicon Capital". :-)

We're also hiring... http://www.hellowallet.com/about-us/careers/

You are right. That there isn't much out there for the "power" users.

We (HelloWallet) are much more focused on holistic financial wellness. But we are working on some very exciting investment-oriented products as we speak.

It still would be interesting to get your perspective if you want to create an account:

If anyone is interested in an account with us for user research, leave a reply. It's normally $100 a year. I'll circumvent that.

Things that didn't work:

Chrome won't let me vote..throwing shitloads of errors in the console.

GWT is not Java on both sides. Its Java on the server, Javascript on the client. The Java client side code compiles to Javascript...the abstraction is way greater than what OP is presenting. (JS & JS)

GWT is/was a terrible amount of overhead baggage, but had some brilliant event systems and DOM tricks for its day.

For modern development of what?

Then don't use Javascript.

I'm not sure I can really appreciate another rant about how one language, framework, pre–compiler, VM, etc is terrible and everyone should stop using it.

Javascript's popularity has emerged organically. Its not because it has the best design. Its because it can get the job done and is browser based–and now server-side too. The browser is the next OS, the ultimate VM, if you will.

If you just stop picking at it and appreciate it for what it is...it is f'ing awesome.

very cool.

(I studied this kind of philosophy in college, mostly determinism, epistemology and the computational representational model of the mind)

Agreed.

What do you mean when you say "I".

Sure you can point the the brain. But when we look at the brain, we see the following "physical" attributes:

1. Atoms and their more complex configurations (molecules) 2. Electricity 3. Chemicals 4. Causal connections between the above 3.

So I ask again, where exactly is "I"? The easy answer is to say "I" is the conjunction of this system.

So that would mean that if we can take that system, and recreate it somewhere else, then that system would represent "I" as well.

This is problematic. Take the above as true and then think what it would mean to not CUT and paste, but just COPY and paste.

There are now two "I"'s walking around. Would you, looking at the copy and paste version of yourself then say that you are still "I"? Or are both of you "I"? Well, you are certainly not the "I" that your other self is saying is "I". Because you are looking at it. It can't be "I". So what the f#$k is powering that thing?

By that logic, what you are is more than just the physical. There are things like Qualia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualia), meaning, memories and the associations between completely unrelated things that, as far as I am aware, we cannot map to the physical manifestation of the brain.

None of this is to say that brain uploading is impossible, because we just simply don't have enough information to refute or defend its possibility.

But I believe that the brain is more complex then the pure physical.
