It's called competition...

Because it works, it's simple (requires not much overhead), and sometimes it's just the best option.

This "hurr jQuery and everything it brought sucks" mentality is not good.

I heavily disagree with this decision from the US gov't. It's incredibly arrogant and selfish for a species to try and modify nature for an evolutionary advantage.

Hi, running this in production for a startup (taleship.me). We use Channels + DRF more recently. It works great, no problems there, and Daphne doesn't interfere at all with it.

Suggested reading: Zero to One by Peter Thiel. It's a great book and it goes over this topic.

This article barely makes a point for itself. Why is this on HN?

Woah. Thanks for the wishes.

Thank you!

It was expected to go north today. Unfortunately, all models were wrong and it actually is coming much faster to our direction, and it keeps getting stronger. I'm legitimately scared.

For sure. Vieques and Culebra are going to have a seriously difficult time.

As a Puerto Rican preparing for Irma, yes, we're pretty freaked.

ftxrcc | 8 years ago | on: Gnu Privacy Guard relies on one underfunded person (2015)

I was thinking exactly this. Any calls for help to any person would just be called socialism and get shot down immediately.

Never thought I'd see Ants Canada on HN. It's a great channel!

ftxrcc | 8 years ago | on: “This project violates the MIT license of Gemstash”

This looks more like a case of Google hate more than a MIT license violation. I've looked at the repos and as others mention, the project is not a fork but a wrapper and they share no code. Others have also mentioned that the author of the issue has made clear his dislike for Google. Combined with the throwaway account posting to HN 30 mins after, this smells fishy.

"incredibly fast"

ftxrcc | 8 years ago | on: Android Oreo

They're not out of touch with what their customers want. Many of them didn't like them because of the whole "Android is cheap" dilemma (which is BS). The users asked and they got. The people who did like them are a very small, specific, yet vocal group of people.

Team 2% unite. 1.11 rocks.

ftxrcc | 8 years ago | on: Kik Messenger App Debuts Own Digital Currency Amid Bitcoin Boom

It's trendy. I don't see any reason why a chat app like Kik should make a crypto currency, other than "it's trendy and hip".

Very low quality comment. Millennials are among the best informed of the issue.

Thanks for pointing out the bug!
