David Heinemeier Hansson, creator of Ruby on Rails and Basecamp co-founder, writes about business, tech and Rails features.
HN commenters link his posts on Uber, Reconsider and Action Cable, and cite Basecamp's use of Action Cable in a Rails debate.
I know a certain framework creator that will be all over this - and has been vocal on twitter about it.
I went looking, this seems like a pretty good air quality monitor: https://www.amazon.com/AirVisual-Quality-Monitor-Accuracy-Particle/dp/B01MF6X1YK (~$400)
There are cheaper ones too; but do your research, as accuracy (and ideas about what constitutes accurate) can vary from manuf. to manuf.

also apparently, a box fan + filter ain't so bad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kH5APw_SLUU
I am quite baffled by all this. I heard of Famo.us, but didn't give it more than 1 thought. I thought it was just another framework, I would have never thought that they had employees, let alone that many and raising that much money.
I watched the video in the article, and I can't believe that people are throwing money at someone with a pitch like that.
I feel like everything about Famo.us is all the wrong things that were described in the Reconsider article that was posted the other day https://medium.com/@dhh/reconsider-41adf356857f
I think it's a really good path to follow and would love to do the same one day.

As for a term... I can't think of one apart from "business". :P Heh.
edit: Just noticed someone else already commented with a link to that article! Ha!
I hope DraftKings and FanDuel followed the advice of a post on HN a few days ago [1] and made (i.e., didn't re-invest) some money along the way. Something tells me they're going the way of online poker in the US very soon.

> And action cable is a great example of everything that's wrong with Rails - kludge together a frankenstein solution to tick a feature box. I do not know a single production user.
The whole point of ActionCable was that it is being used by Basecamp: https://medium.com/@dhh/rails-5-action-cable-demo-8bba4ccfc55e
That happens to be one of the quotes in one of the related articles Medium suggests at the bottom that's worth the read: https://medium.com/@dhh/deleting-uber-is-the-least-you-can-do-30c0601103ea#.wqdpspoto
