I didn't realize NowJS was a startup...

I wrote my own equivalent of nowjs in a few weeks about a month ago... maybe I should apply to yc?

There are already solutions for nginx/websockets on github.

Sorry man. I thought it was clear that it was says me. I'm just one data point obviously, but the speed differences on the sites I go to/make was clear. I removed the earlier comment, it probably sounded more authoritative than it should.

And I was referring to whatever Chrome web developer timeline calls 'paint'. FF could be faster in other parts of rendering, I don't know. But paint matters to me the most right now and FF disappoints there.

That's great when you're hiring CEOs or product people, but I think if you're hiring a manager it's ok if his interest is more in managing than the end product.

Otherwise what happened to Google will happen to you.

eg, losing people like Sheryl Sandberg because you can't accommodate the needs of competent careerists for self advancement.

Edit: Just want to clarify that I'm not disagreeing with the original post. When you're small everyone's a product person, but you can take that idea too far.

p2p uses more bandwidth in a multi-user scenario. Don't think that's an invalid point.

I honestly don't get what Google is supposed to do in situations like this. Google's algos are supposedly measuring for 'relevance'. But when it's not documents you're talking about but companies offering probably identical flowers for probably similar prices it's hard the make the argument that one is more 'relevant' than another.

I honestly think Google should start a different 'business' section of the search engine that plays by different rules. That is ranked by custom satisfaction or price or something.

Otherwise the only ones who win are the SEO companies.

I'm sure that's true, but I don't see why it would be unreasonable to use more inclusive language from the beginning.

There was actually a question there. I wrote it. I asked whether or not humans.txt is speciesist, and narrow minded. It's a reflection on our current understanding of who our peers are. I felt that future generations would look back on humans.txt with contempt. What might AI, aliens, or other hereto undiscovered sentient organisms think? There are groups working on genetically modifying dolphins to make them more intelligent. I wouldn't want them to feel like they are second class citizens. I proposed people.txt.

Stackoverflow was probably not the right place for the question so it got closed with extreme prejudice.

Probably should've tried LessWrong

Obvious next step is 3D HD.

Also Onlive. Also more than one TV at the same time?

Live streaming HD video cameras from inside the house to outside when you're at work?

It's really important to put the BENEFITS at the top. Do I really want to read all this just to find out what it does?

Thanks, I had no idea that was a link. The color is the same as your logo color, which is tres confusing.
