I normally enjoy reading your posts here but this one I have to say I find a bit gleefully FUD-tastic. Given that you describe BitCoin as "magic Internet money" [0] I can't help but feel you simply rejoice in BitCoin failures

IE stagnated for a long time before firefox arrived to compete. I imagine that could have played out with Windows too, were it not for the success of Apple.

Hi, creator of the site here. Currently it is only useable for GitHub hosted repos and therefore GitHub users, but the plan is to extend this in the future. Step 1 is to iron out the bugs in general but private repos or arbitrary repo hosts

I have also had many disk failures, including two RAID'd HDs failing within a few days of each other. I think we've lost 5 HDs so far. (We only have 1 server)

Radiohead had a 6-album contract with EMI, but from In Rainbows onwards Radiohead were able to call the shots a bit more, hence being able to release it with a 'pay-what-you-want' model.[1] The article states that Radiohead's

I found it to be awful. It's so slow. I presume this is an artefact of using it from Europe, and the developers not taking latency into account. I'm willing to overlook the bugs such as the same item appearing more than once in a

I wrote http://getshrubbery.com with a friend to do this for python packages. It's still a bit beta-ish but it works. It also notifies of all updates, not just security ones.

Which is why Berlin is very much a good place for startups right now. The rent is still very cheap, but there's a huge concentration of creative people wanting to create companies. This will fade over time just like in SV, but for now, it's

It means that once you've been in that position, you can't stomach being an underling any more, you're too impertinent and used to making decisions rather than following them. That's my take on it at least.

Herein lies the problem. While your vault example makes sense, you can also say that someone selling knives or guns can't be responsible for people using them to murder someone else. Where do you draw the line? If you are merely providing s

From what I can tell, the 'rails way' of dealing with form data is something akin to user.__dict__.update(request.POST). So you can just add some additional parameters to your POST data and set arbitrary fields on the model.
