As a professional musician, every very few years you sit down and you write new songs and record an album. But then you have to go on tour to make money and engage your fanbase and demonstrate what you've learned and finessed in a way that delivers immediate value to your customers. Touring is not fundamentally creative, but it is enjoyable in it's own right. Or you can be a hobbyist composer (pure creativity). Or a session musician (pure craft). Or play in a covers band (pure work). I don't see this as any different.
What is the evolutionary value of killing the host (potentially) before transmission can occur? I’d have thought the sweet spot is weak enough to minimise fatality/maximise accidental transmission while strong enough to ensure minimal symptoms that result in increased transmission vectors (eg coughing)
Really well executed - well done. I was surprised and impressed with the output of my first search.
One feature request: the ability to save common journeys. I take Uber(x) from home to the office frequently; if I could easily compare other providers on that trip before I leave for work, maybe I'd use other services more often.
What is the extent of this outage? There isn't much info on Twitter or elsewhere. The Azure service status dashboard shows an issue impacting "Storage [South Central US]". Is that service like S3 or EBS or something entirely different?
Please come to San Francisco! I would jump on this immediately. I hate the idea of trying to find, screen and co-ordinate someone to clean my apartment regularly. I've tried TaskRabbit for this, but I find the whole engagement cycle awkward.
Your site correctly identified my browser as Chrome for iPhone. OP's site detected it as Safari on OS/2. Kudos. Perhaps you could share some insights on why this might be.
The extent to which having a four-year US degree equivalent will assist this young man in getting an H1-B visa cannot be exaggerated. It's possible without it, but, AFAIK, it then becomes a non-standard process which will require quite a bit of effort/explanation on the part of the sponsor - i.e. the immigrant will need to be quite a special person. Professional work experience can be substituted for study (I think at a 3:1 ratio, i.e 12 years of professional work experience = 4 year degree), but for obvious reasons that doesn't seem like a good option in this case.
I'm not an expert on this topic by any means, but I do speak from personal experience.
I'm actually feeling physically uncomfortable trying to decipher their website. It's making me nervous and frustrated. I just want to know what the user experience is for making a payment. Do they have to pull out a credit card? Create an account? ARGH.
I used to attach video to bug reports occasionally. All the developers on my team hated it. They forced me to stop.
They found it slower than scanning through text and didn't like the lack of copy + paste ability. Also I think they liked the ability to read the tickets directly from email, on mobile, etc.
That may have been specific to the type of work we were doing. I'm interested to know if you tested the video-based bug tracking concept with development teams using existing (more cumbersome) tools, before building a targeted solution.
Yes, primarily because I wouldn't need multiple content subscription sources any more (HBO, Hulu, Netflix). Obviously I'm making some assumptions about how such a system would work, but I'd rather pick and choose content than pick and choose providers.
