yep, if you owe someone a little money they have control. If you owe someone a lot of money, you have control. The whales use SaaS companies to develop things they dont want in house and demand features because they know they're one of the biggest customers.

New comment by trose in "Demand for Ruby on Rails is Still Huge"

trose — Wed, 20 Jun 2018 17:52:19 +0000

yeah this is some nonsense. I'm at a highly successful startup serving 40,000 requests per minute on a rails app. We're starting to split out into services but that's purely from an organizational standpoint as it's becoming unwieldy for 60 developers to all work in the same code base.

That's exactly what the ISPs want though. If we try to tackle all of these loopholes then they get to draw this out in a thousand different court cases which they can easily afford.

OR how about we attack them directly because it's obvious that they have malicious intentions.

Microsoft makes all of it's money from PC sales and software licensing.

Meanwhile, they basically invented the "buy your competitor and tank their business" strategy. That's probably what this person is referring to.

care to explain this a little further? Genuinely curious what these deficiencies are and who they benefit.

are we getting russian trolls in HN as well? I thought we were here to have intelligent discussions. Not political nonsense about "mainstream media"

And yet folks will keep falling for the CGI trailers and marketing hype EA churns out for every game. The only solution is to wholesale stop supporting ANY game EA produces.

New comment by trose in "Hyperloop One Becomes ‘Virgin Hyperloop One’"

trose — Thu, 12 Oct 2017 16:25:39 +0000

Interesting idea. In Denver, they're partnering with our regional transportation district to evaluate a hyperloop system here. Unfortunately RTD has been completely incompetent with existing rail programs to date so there isn't much confidence in their ability to pull this off. Could potentially be designed to fail.

New comment by trose in "Scientists discover evidence for a habitable region on Saturn’s moon Enceladus"

trose — Tue, 16 May 2017 19:02:39 +0000

The article isn't talking about human habitation. It says that we collected evidence that may suggest that there are hydrothermal vents below the surface which may be able to support microbial life like Earth's hydrothermal vents.

New comment by trose in "SpaceX Falcon 9 first stage has landed at LZ-1 [video]"

trose — Mon, 01 May 2017 17:17:55 +0000

Slightly different but yeah. The falcon has a single pre-orbit stage. The heavy has two pre-orbit stages. So it'll end up being three falcon engines stitched together with decouplers. Part of the way to orbit, the outside two decouple and return the to launch pad. Some time after that, the center engine decouples and lands on a barge. None of those will be going at orbit velocity though.

trose — Fri, 24 Feb 2017 18:44:44 +0000

this isn't equivalent. In your scenario the single employee is choosing to take advantage of the company's hospitality and I think their manager would be right to either deny that or speak to them afterwards.

Great news! Anyone know when we can expect the next launch? I heard they're going to test the falcon heavy this year.

2.3 million downloads in the last month and 4883 dependencies... what do you think?

trose — Wed, 16 Nov 2016 19:35:51 +0000

yes, Angular requires jquery for selectors. React I'm pretty sure doesn't.

The rovers we sent cost us about $400 million each. And one failed.
