I had a LinkedIn account ages ago but found it useless and chock full of recruiter spam. It was the first of all my social networks to go. I am always astonished when I hear phrases like "it's required". Really? By whom? I&#x

If you grant a keyboard "Full Access" in iOS (which is required for network access) then it does indeed have the ability to transmit everything back to a host. But Google says they do not do that: https://news.ycombinat

My concerns were indeed assuaged. Generally I am overly cautious but I trust Google enough when they say the data isn't transmitted to them.

The App Store page addresses my immediate concern with giving Google access to every single thing I type on my phone: > What Gboard sends to Google: > When you do a search, Gboard sends your query to Google’s web servers so Google can

Nice, thanks! And I can pay for it, that's a comforting change.

Outlook on iOS is great. It used to be called Acompli until it was acquired by Microsoft. I had long hoped all of the Sunrise features would be incorporated into Outlook before Microsoft shut it down, but no such luck.

The best part about Sunrise was Meet, its quick little method of booking meetings with someone: https://sunrise.am/meet You'd choose some available times, it gives you a link which you send to whoever you want to meet

When I first saw this film, I was so touched by it that I had the hedgehog, complete with fog, tattooed on my arm. Different people take away different meanings from the story but for me it's a reminder to live a life outside your comf

Even things that do scale, don't often scale automatically. If I spring for Heroku to host my blog over GoDaddy, it's still going to go down the minute it hits the front page of Hacker News.

I wonder how much money total they made just by scraping Slack tokens and reporting them to individual bounty programs?

Even off the free tier, S3 + Cloudfront is now my static host of choice. Incredibly cheap for my low traffic side projects and free (and instant) SSL certificate setup.

I am a longtime Heroku customer on an Enterprise service plan at the moment. I brought this up to my sales rep last time he checked in. I explained how we moved a bunch of smaller sites to S3, reluctantly because I really like having a unif

Treason would be a hard one because I think it only applies during wartime. But would any of our various unending wars qualify? War on terror, war on drugs? Maybe not since they weren't declared by congress. It could be considered &quo

The old adage back in school was "reduce, reuse, recycle" and the order is important. Reduce your consumption as much as you possibly can. Then reuse everything over and over: rinse out the container and find another use. Recyclin

Is there an API for certificate transparency logs? I'd love to have a monitoring system that checks if unauthorized certificates are detected for my domains.

Hopefully the author can weigh in a bit on what they consider a bot. I have a SaaS app that posts to Hipchat/Flowdock/Slack and includes a Slack slash command for interacting with it. I am presuming that qualifies as a "bot&q

There's a Chrome flag you can enable for that experience today, as it's only a matter of time before that is default. I use this and so this is how the TechCrunch article shows for me: http://i.imgur.com/c8Cz7S4.pn

That would be useful but it almost sounds better to register the view of their landing page and then not register the view of their article. Surely they will see a widening gap over time?

I believe the traditional usage requires capital M: $20M = $20,000 $6MM = $6,000,000 Of course, it's more common now to use lowercase k: $30k = $30,000

It would be awesome to see a list of the winning companies and the approximate multiple on invested capital returned for each of them, along with which companies fizzled out. Not expecting to ever see that, but it would be interesting to le
