Wait, you mean that policing shouldn't be a revenue generating activity? What a radical concept!

Count me in that list! This is fantastic, and is likely to help push me over the edge to using tmux by default on my local workstation.

They are-- until you lobby the FCC to change those regulations. Part 15 is very clear on this.

I still occasionally see people refer to companies with thousands of employees (including some that have gone public) as "startups." The term is being diluted...

Or, just as bad: they pull a Reader and sunset the service in 4 years once you've stuffed all of your photos into it. My faith in Google's ability / willingness to support these types of projects long term is minimal at best.

I look forward to Google shutting this project down in 1-5 years.

Amazingly well said. OP: Eventually the narrative will shift to "I was young and stupid, and it was a long time ago," which is exactly what you want. By continuing to defend what you did, you're actively delaying the time unt

It's somewhat interesting to me that articles like this make no mention of services such as AdBlock. ...then again, cnet does get by on advertising dollars.

Right, can I opt out of that fee? There's a link to a new axe design trending on HN at the moment; how about I buy one of those and bring it with me to guarantee my own safety and opt out of that dollar fee? Line-iteming a fee feels li

Oh, I proudly display it on mine. After the first few years of it I realized I was much, much happier as a consultant-- and that mobility was better than stagnation. "Sure, I'll be gone in a year or two, but by then it'll get
