Given that there is a significant chance that AWS east will go down today, this seems like a useful feature. However since the platform is still only in that data center, I'm not sure how this will help. How are people on Heroku preparing

Can anyone comment on how this affects consistency from a writing client? For instance, let's say I update a user record with a new email address, then display then redirect to an action to display the user record. The write may not have re

Money is a commodity. Commodities in efficient markets have buy and sell orders, and spreads between them. Spreads allow market-makers to make a small profit and protect them from the risk of holding the currency. While the site looks nice,

Curious why people are downvoting. This is a legitimate question. He refers to these bloggers paternalistically and seems to take some credit for their work, but doesn't actually specify his relationship. Good for him for sponsoring people,

Convenient that this is also a windfall for Facebook - you know, it's for OUR benefit. Consider why Facebook doesn't have a "more" button for users tired of staring at the same Facebook filtered posts. Because that would be giving users wha

Okay, I don't think we are too far apart. We probably just disagree on how strong an impression a name can make. Similar to bad design and user experience, a product can be successful with a bad name. That doesn't mean user experience, desi

Just because a company is successful doesn't mean it has a good name (just as a good name doesn't make a company successful.) Ebay is a terrible name, but they had other advantages. Braintree is a poor name, which may explain some of their

It's certainly more important to execute on product and market than come up with a good name, however don't discount the importance of a name. Consumers do judge companies by name, and first impressions matter immensely. Matasano is not a g

I should have written: git branch --set-upstream origin/foo This counter-intuitively creates a LOCAL (!) branch named origin/foo which tracks the current branch. I would expect this to set the upstream of the current branch, given th

How is it possible that Color has 120k daily active users. And certain that doesn't mean "no one is using the app." Something is wrong here, either with facebook's numbers or this conclusion. That's not a small number.

Also, his complaint about speed is likely because he is slowbanned in addition to being hellbanned. It seems pretty clear there are moderators inappropriately hellbanning users for personal gripes. Hellbanning is an unnecessarily hurtful an

Any discussion of the hellban procedure seems a quick way to be hellbanned. It's a horrible, unjust, arbitrary system and is generally abused by anonymous, seemingly petty moderators. My main account was hellbanned (also slowbanned, and my

Yes, the article does little to source its claims - largely because they are so widely accepted and the research is so prevalent and easy to find. What you haven't said is that you actually looked for it. Go do that. You will find plenty.

You may not be a dualist, but you sound like a negativist. It's nobody's job here to convince you of the benefits of meditation beyond the reams of research out there that for some reason you question. Regardless, the structural changes to

Placebo effect has no meaning in this context. Placebo effects are caused by mind rather than a substance. In this case, the entire treatment is in the mind. There are many, many, many studies on the benefits and effects of meditation. If y

I'm an AppNet user, but pretty limited in frequency. The primary reason is that I want proper posts to facebook and don't want to post in two places. I would like to see apps like this have the option to cross-post to facebook and twitter.

TL;DR Artists can use the Kickstarter model to collect from their most ardent fans instead of trying to sell units to everyone. I think this makes a lot of sense and can work in some cases, but it remains to be seen what happens when the ma
