"Photoshop for audio," seems so obvious, I'm surprised we haven't seen this before. (After all, the underlying technology has been around for a while now.)
Is is possible to include some kind rich text/html editor that can send data back to a server via JSON? Is it possible to send any user data back to a server with Jasonette?
> You're taking a huge risk not working for Cisco, Oracle, Google, etc...any of the players you know won't cease to exist overnight.
Hmm. I hadn't thought of it that way. Thenagain, from what I've heard, A players don't hang around any particular company for more than 3 years since they are always looking to bump their paygrade. And despite what startups may ask for in job ads, they are not exclusively hiring superstar code ninja warriors.
Unless you are working for a discount, I don't see why an employee should be entitled to ANY equity just because they happened to show up before anyone else. The fact that you may be responsible for a large swath of a company's profit is beside the point. As an employee, you are a commodity.
If I write a book, I'm not giving my web designer a percentage of the profit. Yes, my success is contingent on the quality of his work, but he's just one of many offering such a service.
I've been reading some of the HN comments in response to this story and it seems you guys are saying that ANY codebase built on WP must be visibly released to the public.
So does that mean, millions of WP sites with custom mods must relase release their code in some capacity? If so, where? And how am I supposed to declare where the sourcecode can be found--a dedicated page on my site, a comment in my HTML?
I'm really struggling to understand how the guys at Wix are the villains in this story. It seems every year Mullenweg issues a Fatwa in response to some imagined violation of WP's GPL licence. He's really becoming quite belligerent over this crusade of his.
Seriously, do we all need to release our source code if we build stuff on WP? If not, why the hell is Wix getting so much shit?
> They just never caught on in the same way as the iPhone did. It's marketing, innit. I don't think you can win against it.
The iPhone is synonymous with smartphone technology because its debut was a quantum leap ahead of the competition at the time (Blackberry, Palm, etc.). Google was working on a phone that used a physical keyboard until they saw the iPhone announcement and then quickly modified Android to ape iPhone/iOS.
I'm really sick of people trying to downplay Apple's innovations as nothing more than slick packaging and marketing. It's a stupid meme that refuses to die.
> Facebook needs to literally grow up, removing porn is one thing but clinical images, mothers feeding their children and such should not even be up for discussion.
But people are offended by seeing clinical images of nudity, mother feeding their babies, etc. And Facebook wants to placate all of their users so nobody has a reason to leave.
Of course, they can't please everyone, but they'd rather make a fool of themselves before they'd become a more morally/socially opinionated corporation like Starbucks.
> Neil deGrasse Tyson writing smug bitchy tweets about slight inaccuracies in Hollywood sci-fi movies.
Are you new to the Internet? Because Tyson is hardly an outlier.
I'm not familiar with Tyson's Twitter feed, but I've noticed that lots of playful critiques are interpreted as joyless and pedantic.
The YouTube channel CinemaSins comes to mind--various filmmakers (using Twitter) have attacked CinemaSins of vicious nitpicking, even though that's the whole point of the series. Tyson even did some recordings for various episodes and he seemed fairly understanding and good-natured about the flaws he exposed.
Again, I'm not familar with the tweets in question, but I just felt like pointing out that sometimes people interpret ALL criticism as a malicious act even when it's dispassionate or tongue-in-cheek.
I don't think people are necessarily hoping he will fail, rather they believe his failure is a forgone conclusion, and they can't understand why others can't see that...including Musk.
I never understood why anyone preferred Genesis over SNES. The only cultural impact left by Sega was its marketing strategy. Meanwhile, Nintendo made games that still remain iconic and playable.
> Stupid analogy time: Building a shiny, new house; easy. Retrofitting a 300 year old house with 1000gb ethernet wiring everywhere, while keeping the original character of the house and with minimal disruption to its inhabitants; HARD.
Yet, immediately after she realized she was being investigated, she immediately deleted relevant data in a way that made it impossible to recover--or words to that effect.
What's more, the FBI director said that any reasonable person should have realized the sensitivity of information they were transmitting regardless of its markings.
I find it really bizarre how people go out of their way to tune out any information that paints Clinton/Trump/Sanders in a bad light (depending on your temperament).
I'm not saying Clinton should be tarred and feathered (or even sent to jail), but she has hardly been exonerated of any wrongdoing. Why do people find that so difficult to admit?
There's nothing wrong with an investigative journalism-memoir hybrid. The only reason to remove the memoir-ish aspects of her books is because some don't find the genre respectable or prestigious regardless of a book's merit.
