My biggest issue with personal analytics is storage. I want to track everything, from browser history to keystrokes, but I don't want to share this information with a third party. I think solving the data problem is the first hurdle.

I'm really interested in their solution for solving metadata leakage. I just looked over the SCIMP white paper, and it didn't mention anything about metadata.

I agree the swipe at Google is unwarranted, but later in the article he mentions that the LIDAR sensors used in Google's cars cost $80,000 a pop.

Trello for me. I have an ideas board with lists for blog posts, apps, startups, and video games.

My usual response to recruiters (if I respond) is a short and polite "Not interested, happy where I am". However, Skyrocket Ventures is different. I've received several calls from them over the last year, all from blocked num

Not only that, but Obama's campaign used AWS heavily ( http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2012/11/how-te... ).

I would suggest Unity. They just announced 2D support for the upcoming 4.3 release. The free version can deploy to both Android and iOS, as well as desktop and web. LibGDX is a good choice if you don't want to target iOS. They just swi

Email isn't designed to be secure. Even using public-key encryption (which I'm sure very few of your contacts use), message metadata (such as from and to addresses) is not encrypted. You're forced to trust your email provider

My personal strategy has been that of becoming T-shaped, a term I learned from Valve's employee handbook[0]: People who are both generalists (highly skilled at a broad set of valuable things - the top of the T) and also

Cocaine is a terrible name. Not only is it difficult to search, it makes for awkward conversation. "What platform do you use to run your infrastructure?" "I use cocaine" Ignoring the name, I'm excited

I'm not sure this will solve the issue. Google Code has a similar concept and popular issues still suffer from a deluge of +1s.

Email is inherently insecure. Even with PGP encryption, metadata is always transmitted in plain text. LavaBit encrypted message bodies as soon emails entered their system, and they were still susceptible to government influence.

Very cool. I've haven't heard of Cozy before and just assumed it was another email provider, not a similar offering as ownCloud.

I'm a fan of quantified self, but I'm not comfortable sharing this data with yet-another third party service. Tracking email, browsing habits, application usage, etc. is valuable, but the collected information should stay on my la

The blackbox support seems like a killer feature. No more debugging minified JQuery! I also can't believe that CSS auto-complete wasn't there before. I've been using Aurora for the last few months and have loved the experienc

The tubes for the passenger-only version would be 20 to 23 mm in thickness. I'm not sure what damage a medium-sized gun would do to steel that thick.

Also see his fantastic "What if?" series[0] where he answers fantastical questions using similar research. Examples of recent questions include "If you call a random phone number and say “God bless you”, what are the chances
