Well, the private aspects of the network. Can't SSH in and certs no longer work. We're not sure if it was an automated response (the Moira system was being taxed pretty hard) or if an individual actually revoked it. It's possible we were

I imagine requiring your users to fake a MAC Address is a pretty effective captcha. For Dropbox, it's probably better to reduce the friction in the sign up flow than to prevent against these kinds of edge cases.

"It duplicates all the styles, instead of grouping common selectors into one style definition like @extend does." This didn't come through entirely until I read the comment. I think an example of what mixins would produce would be helpful.

Author here. This is a somewhat of a follow on to another article, "Innovation in the Cruise industry... Where is it?" that you might also find interesting: http://blog.kangacruise.com/2012/09/innovation-in-the-cruise... Happy to get a l

This. I don't think App.net would have worked a year ago, maybe even not six months ago. But now, with Twitter actively attacking their developers, I imagine we'll be seeing a ton of ports from Twitter to App.net. Twitter definitely consi

Note to everyone: it's career week at MIT. Usually, a Silicon Valley investor at MIT during career week is trying to help their portfolio find staff. Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia, and more are here for that purpose, but that doesn't seem t

For my site in the travel industry, I need a bizdev guy to get me access to the APIs. Also, not really. There are a ton of biz dev relationships that require more than just an API. Making a public API where "The constraints, the terms, e

Thank You. This is ideal for freelancers. I built it for myself at https://paycolin.herokuapp.com out of fear that PayPal would freeze a large transaction I had coming in. I started building the same thing (a general service for everyone

Meh, I'm currently guilty of using straight bootstrap styles with www.kangacruise.com I also hate the UI, but I don't think these kinds of changes would be worth the marginal improvement. I know I'll never get what I really want with the

I'm guessing many here don't know this, but travel agents today (yes they still exist) often recommend Frommer's guides. I run KangaCruise.com, we considered syndicating Frommer's guides for destinations, and actually still haven't written

My father's a chiropractor and I just asked him about this. Apparently checking insurance eligibility is a "pain in the ass" and involves a phone call with wait times. I'm excited to see if I can quickly put something together for him.

I went to a talk with one of WebVan's early employees, who actually went on to found Kiva Systems, the robotic fulfillment system Amazon just purchased for something like $750 million. He seemed to insist the reason WebVan couldn't be profi

I've had multiple VCs call a potential 1-10MM/yr business a lifestyle business. The pressure to move away from that idea to something with a higher market cap is tremendous. Regarding your second point, "you promised not to go down the slo

Naughtiness was using CL to seed their site in the first place. After the Cease and Desist, using 3Taps as a source CL data was simply walking into a lawsuit. Generally, I don't think you want your naughtiness to tie you up in a legal batt

There have been a number of articles about this. For some reason what pops to mind is: VC's dont really like it, Conway thinks it's good for entrepreneurs. (Who knows though, maybes there's a pretty good chance Conway is invested in both

I'm interested in everyone's thoughts about Kayak. My feeling is that slowly but surely, the travel sellers who buying leads from Kayak will start paying less. So while I see it as a successful business, I'm not really sure where they're p

Yea it sucks your dealing with CL and not Facebook or you probably would have been acquired. I say try and move the traffic to pad. It's certainly a big task, but not "far too big". Pick the region where you have the most significant traf

I can't help but think you played this poorly. It sucks CL isn't going to let you get their data, but I really don't think this workaround is going to change anything (although kudos for the neat Google cache hack from 3taps). I imagine you

Agreed. I'm going to guess when I hit the lock button a second time, and all the lights in the car went on, that was supposed to indicate the alarm was now off? As opposed to indicating the car was indeed locked?

Fixing my app was easy. I was checking for empty? but now I'm checking for nil? or empty? I still think it's weird Facebook would do this.

We'll see how it plays out, but I imagine the notion of a file will continue to decline, and end up replaced by APIs. APIs continue to provide interoperability, but instead of having the user select a file to upload, they select an image th

For me it was Angelfire, but basically the same thing. IMO, the place to go today is PHPFog for their free Wordpress hosting. Wordpress as a CMS is a million times more sophisticated than Geocities, but when you're ready to make the jump i
