Why? Seems unfair to ban someone over their political views. Specially when they're from the winning party. He was right to bet on Trump, if anything I'd want him closer.

FYI, your account has been dead for 2272 days.

Sounds awesome, and something I'll be looking into in the near future. Wonder if it can run Elixir apps.

Of course it can. It runs everything that runs on BEAM, Elixir, LFE, erlua and Erlang

Churches are the biggest donators in the world. Does that count for anything for them?

Is that true?

Seriously? You hear of a group of people who do good things, and your response is, "Well, they don't do as well as this other group that does good things!"

They did some really great things, and your response is "disgusting". Sad.

I would agree with you if it wasn't for the fact that Reddit constantly bashes that "other group" and never gives them credit when it's due.

Which negates their own achievements?

People tend to be fascinated when a system does things it is not created to do.

Reddit's primary purpose is to share and comment on links whereas churches are founded to spread goodwill in a community.

I'm pretty sure churches are not founded to spread goodwill in a community.

Most religions exist to spread the goodwill of their respective deity or deities. Often times they spread their goodwill through charitable means.

I can't believe that a place of religious worship is created with the prime motivation to spread goodwill. It's purely to extend and expand or fortify their religion.

Edit: To clarify my point further: If the aim was to spread goodwill, it would be more efficient to open a center directly focused on such.

I hope you understand that there is no debate going on between us. This is merely an outsider's understanding of how a church functions.

In the context of this thread it is irrelevant how effective / ineffective, good / bad a church is. The church is used to define an entity that represents a contrast to reddit's intended functionality.

Social networking is lame.

So, to confirm, Linode is NOT hoste by Rackspace?

Nope :)

Phew, thank you.

This is good news. Even with simple apps that aren't games he's making a decent amount of money off ads alone.

Too bad he didn't mention what ad network he's using. I'm getting ready to launch my game/app (http://developingthedream.blogspot.com/) in the next few months and I'm going into it with no expectations.

Good to hear i may gain a bit of extra cash from this project. I'm using mobclix and it was really easy to integrate into my app. However, I don't like that the view doesn't auto resize or fill the parent.

I've downloaded the crack screen app and he's using adMob on that one.

So? He's still technically correct, which is the best kind of correct.

Great for developers who can understand and write code. Not so great for marketing and ideas people who generally suck.

I used to have this problem. Just man up and cut down on your drinking significantly.

There is no magic cure, or solution or algorithm for this. This is within your self, that's why it's called self control. Start riding your bike to work. Don't give any excuses, I used to ride my bike for an hour and ride the train/bus for another hour every day. Each way.

It helps if it hurts something you care about. For example, I couldn't code after a long night of drinking, or even after a couple of beers. Since I cared about my code, I now drink maybe once a month and can control my drinking even while partying.

I also find it kind of sad how your wife seems to run some important aspects of your life. You shouldn't need her to 'regulate' you in any way. You are a self sustaining human being and should be able to function as such.
