- kofman parentThanks for the suggestion! We’re working on making this smoother.
- We're also at http://debate.bingo, but with a 1 day lead time, DNS propagation delay is a bitch :)
You grab a candidate specific bingo card at eg. https://2020madness.com/bingo/yang

- The donations are handled 100% by ActBlue which is the non-profit site (run on tips) that handles donations for all the democratic candidates. They raised >$1B for the Democrats in the last cycle.
We are self-funding our minimal infra costs and the work is being done by volunteers on a part-time basis.

- Our goal is to raise $1m for the eventual Democrat candidate, while getting folks more engaged with what’s happening in national politics. We don’t take a cut, 100% of donations go to the eventual candidate fund.
Why: Everyone has their current favorite Dem candidate, but we can all agree on one thing — we have to defeat Donald Trump. As the candidates spend money to compete, Trump continues to fill his war-chest. We want to help give the eventual candidate a better shot.
In addition to raising money, we’re hoping to also get more people engaged with what’s happening in national politics -- kind of how fantasy sports gets people paying more attention to sports.
There’s still a TON of work to do to make this awesome, but we decided to launch it early to get feedback and ideas. Please let us know any suggestions or questions!

- The particular change Chris is referring to was in implementing delay load for the related video thumbnails. Now as you may imagine the /watch page gets most of the traffic and is hyper optimized. Now imagine every load of /watch hitting the much more dynamic and personalized and much less optimized homepage 10-15 times :)

- There are a number of differences (attribution, the way the stream shows you edit diffs from your team members, the way content such as code and media is handled, the way email integration works, etc).
But fundamentally it is a difference of design intent. Hackpad is not a replacement for a word processor. It is not designed for cosmetically designing papers or reports. Hackpad has been designed from the ground up for collaboration on ideas and for living documents (which evolve over time). It's in use in a number of leading tech companies (airbnb, stripe, upworthy) as well as on the open web.

- For a Docs replacement, do give https://hackpad.com a try. It's web-native and optimized for collaboration and sharing (vs trying to bring a desktop experience to the web).

- It might be nice to make a canonical list of things which suck about JavaScript.

- Agreed, it's a terrible language. Among other things, it makes it way too easy to write code which many people will read as being correct, but will actually be subtly incorrect.
A few of the weakest parts:
- for (var x in y) when used for array iteration or even dict iteration; hasOwnProperty? Really?
- x[obj] = y; seriously, did i really want '[Object object]' as my key?
- the choice of function level scope over block level scope
