   Thank you. I've used Codeacademy, Coursera, Udacity, edX, and while all of them do a somewhat decent job teaching me how to program, I've totally missed the boat on testing.

   Yup. Twilio. We think texting is by far the most powerful way to actually get people out to vote. I worked a lot at the beginning of the semester on getting my friends registered to vote; now, I really just want to see them get out there a

   For sure. I'm not really sure how to handle that though - any suggestions? The twilio script we are using deletes the numbers after the text "Please Vote Today!" is sent to them. That's all the text will say; no advertising at all.

   We just want to get young people out to vote; we think this may be one of the most effective measures at this point.

    Interesting read; not sure how much it'd help the POTUS...

    You can text them yourself; can you not? All the app does is send the numbers through a twilio script on election day that will shoot them a message: "Please Vote Today!"

    A majority of the young vote tends to lean towards Obama; this app mainly targets people who frequently use text messaging for communication aka young people.

    Exactly what I'm saying....most of these people probably could care less whether their info is public or not. Many people talk about caring about their security in an almost idealistic view; few actually care in application.

    I'm sure much of this information is public on their profiles to begin with; with a simple web scraper, you can acquire information about millions of fb accounts and their respective email addresses. OFC there's an oversupply since they can

    I rallied together and went with about 25 Michigan Hackers to PennApps this past year....what an amazing experience. Many of the students had never built anything outside of class and almost all of them left the event feeling inspired beyon

    How much slower are ssds than RAM these days.....I feel like the benefits of using your RAM for something like this are very similar to the benefits an SSD brings except further accentuated.

    100%....Most customers don't even understand https vs http. In the tech bubble, we definitely recognize things like that, but for normal people, they determine their trust by the look and brand name on the payment form. This button is the

    While I do like that they have a standardized button now, I wouldn't say that the button itself is gorgeous.

    I've disabled chrome extensions, and tried firefox, and this still seems to be happening. Unless, I have some strange virus from my recent download of paint.net, I think this might be legitimate testing of in-timeline ads.
