Wouldn't this make signing more complex? Currently the bundle doesn't change after you sign it on submission, but it would have to if resources were getting stripped.

This is so strange to see, especially since code.org's tutorials might be the closest thing we've got to a widely used implementation of (some of) Mr. Victor's ideas.

My mistake. I thought your point was, "Tesla was much cheaper to start than people think, well within normal parameters for early venture rounds."

Yeah -- but what are the chances SpaceX would exist if Musk hadn't personally invested the first $100m?

And Tesla might have been cheaper at first, but Musk led the A round and participated in every funding until the F round (!).

Without a deep pocketed founder willing to absorb years of losses, what are the chances Tesla ever makes it to market? Even so they nearly died before they shipped the roadster.

A short description of how it works would probably go a long way for developer adoption. There doesn't seem to be any.

The most obvious way to implement this might not work the same in iOS 7 -- I'd want to know more before relying on it.

Everyone has wanted this for years now. I wouldn't hold my breath.

Chez Panisse and Per Se don't have the same reputation.

It's really neat to see work of this caliber being done, then... simply released on GitHub as an example.

I agree with this:

I freaked out in the beginning because I thought the crummy icons were representative of Apple screwing up the entire new design direction for iOS. But now that I’ve seen the rest of iOS, I’m not that worried.

After a couple days with the beta, it's pretty obvious that Apple didn't, like, FIRE their UI designers or anything. There are a few strange choices, but most of the new OS feels like an improvement when you use it.

I'm curious what people think of existing marketplaces.

If you're thinking of selling an app, do you feel like the tools are there to find buyers and perform the transaction?

Don't forget the metal doohickeys, too.

How much of the stuff in your life could be made by snapping together plastic and metal doohickeys?
