Damn, this is _exactly_ what I just started building... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Oh well, It looks really nice!


Join us instead!


Ha. Sounds tempting, but SF is a bit far away for me ;)


So much this! asyncio was the main selling point for me, but in general, why not follow the language?

I never really understood the "rather stay with py2.7" thing. I get it with big old monolithic applications. You don't "just" rewrite those, but _every new python project_ should be done with the latest stable release.

Is anyone starting their PHP projects on PHP4? Any new node projects in 0.10? Of course not, that would be moronic.


Because you don't know what libraries you may depend on in the future when you start a new project. I was a fervent Python 3 supporter, and wrote every of my fresh projects in Python 3 instead of 2, until one day I found I needed LLVM in my project, yet the python port at that time was for 2 only.

I mostly avoid writing Python 3 nowadays, because I don't want to rewrite my project or find painstakingly an alternative solution when I could have just imported a module that runs fine under Python 2.


Is it possible to have internet without internet service providers? That would be technically impossible ;)


Paying LastPass user here. Not sure how this is going to go down. TBH I'm hoping that nothing will change. Yes, the UX might not be the best in the world, but to me, the important thing is availability and security (probably not in that order). A browser extension and a decent android app is what I need, and I already have that.


Paying LastPass (Enterprise) user here too. I hope the extension gets a complete overhaul. I've experienced dataloss multiple times due to inconsistent interface issues. Support just shrugs and points me to 3rd party backup solutions. I see the UX problems as critical, but yes...just below security.


Paying LP Enterprise user also. Totally agree. I spent 45 mins today just explaining to new employees how to get everything set up. The UX something that absolutely needs work

Then again, it's currently good enough that we are paying them a pretty large yearly sum, so perhaps there is no business case for spending the resources to improve it.


Why bother when your own 4G connection could be significantly faster than sharing a 100/100Mbit with 80 other people?

I never use guest networks for that exact reason. I know that my traffic and my connection is my own, and works. Way easier imo.


reliable network, consistent (low) latency and the security aspect. At least that is my top 3.


Althought that might be your preference, I'm fairly certain very few people feel the same. I too want a phone that "works", but I'd never pay $1000+. I can live with some sacrifices if i can get a Good Enough phone for ~$400. And imo, OnePlus One is fits the bill quite well. I was sceptical about no SD card and the non-removable battery, but when the battery lasts for days, and i have 64GB eMMC and online backup, I found I don't need those things anyway.


I think there is a huge market of people who wouldn't think twice of paying $1000 for, even among those who aren't really wealthy. Include me in that market. My smartphone is my most important possession, and I use it more than anything else that I own, including my laptop. With reasonably good care, a smart phone will last for 2 years, and, at that time, have 50% of its original value.

So - if a really solid smartphone was available for $1500, that is $750 over 24 months, or $31/month. There are a lot of things that I pay $31/month for, that don't give me the same value as my smartphone, that I would happily give up to get a world-class best-of-breed experience.

And realize, we are comparing with a "good enough" $400 phone - which would probably only have 25% of it's value ($100) after 2 years - so, $300/24 month or $12.50/month, so what we are really asking ourselves, is do we want to spend $12.50 for a good enough phone, or $31/month for a best-in-class phone. I'm certainly willing to pay the extra $19/month.


The opposite. To little supply for the demand. They used the invites to "throttle" the purchase rate to be able to keep up. They probably thought an invite system was a better aproach than a weekly free-for-all aka. SuiciDDOS against the webshop. Hopefully, this time supply will be significantly higher, meaning the invite system will be removed as soon as they know they can keep up with demand.


Even if that only takes six months the phones isn't going to be interesting by the time you can actively purchase it.


You buy phones for their "interesting" factor rather than actually wanting to use it as a phone? If so, you're probably an extremely tiny minority in that regard...


By not interesting I mean a better version from some other company will be available.


aka: Please spend an hour in transport so you can spend 10 minutes fixing the issue while we breath down your neck and constantly ask stupid questions that won't help us solve anything.


Fun, but not really P2P. Have a look at WebRTC for actual P2P :)
