it allows you to track stats more easily. for example, you can link bit.ly to Buffer and get a unique bit mark for each link/platform pair. then you can track engagement separately for each platform.

hmm this means we need a measure of intended quality. Perhaps budget would be a good place to start? More invested = higher expectations. of course this might be thrown off by high-minded indie flicks and hugely expensive summer sequels, so

They have to do something as an interim solution to keep the service working. Hopefully Comcast et al will get smacked down regardless.

That would be especially compelling if they integrated backups as well. You get your laptop back, including all the data from the last full-disk backup. Of course, security. Perhaps encrypt the drives by default, then backup snapshots of

Sure, but maybe that could be a good thing. For example, you could provide an API for Chess that ranks players across apps. You could use a Facebook ID or similar to merge identities across applications. Then players could choose the chess

The market your talking about (software-mediated freelance development) only works if the participants trust each other. If Odesk allowed the Indian programmer to steal IP, that creates a precedent, our at least a perception, that theft is

Isn't that the point though? Trust is decentralized over multiple accounts that you already control. Keybase just provides an easy way to access that decentralized trust.

Maybe not in this incarnation, but when they roll out an API it could be baked into all kinds of things. For example, consider a multi-service contact managers like the Windows Phone People Hub or Contacts + on Android. They let you establi

I actually really like the trust model that keybase.io uses. You control a lot of a distinct spaces on the web: github, twitter, email, personal domain, etc. It makes a lot of sense to have those reinforce a single public cryptologic identi

If keybase.io provides a modified public key, doesn't the client detect that by comparing a hash of the provided key to the "proof" hash posted elsewhere? e.g. In the situation commented above [1], your client would download

The major missing feature appears to be intelligent hyphenation. Long words should be broken up by syllable, not raw character count. it's missing the little hash mark at the focus letter as well, but that's an easy fix. intellige

Employees are ALWAYS commodities. These issues are not new. This is exactly the same labor vs. capital struggle that has happened, well, forever. Companies exist to run business processes that create money. Employees are an input to that pr

This. Types are a huge pain in JSON, particularly the lack of a good date time type. BSON fixes tips, but only of you're using MongoDB and are willing to give up the "human readable" requirement outside of mongo.

The Mt Gox price divergence actually makes her point stronger. she's highlighting the volatility, and the failure of a major exchange is pretty volatile.

It becomes much harder to violate net neutrality in the face of competition. Here's an example: Say you have two ISP options at your home. Firm A forces Netflix to pay $1/month for access to enough bandwidth to stream movies in HD

I don't think they're necessarily looking to integrate the user bases that way. If Facebook's mission is simply to "connect everything ” then this gets them closer to that goal. Whatsapp profits are note Facebook profits

Torrents are always going to be more clumsy for media consumption than Netflix, etc. put.io is trying to bridge that gap, but it won't close it completely. Real, legitimate streaming services are really good. they adjust quality based

There is actually a really cool opportunity here. A service like this could put an access fee on certain torrents, collect payment via bit coin and pass the fee on to the content creators. Technically, it's totally feasible. of course,
