This is a really interesting attempt, and it might work because of how well-known the game is already. I got this game (on iOS) about 2 years ago, and enjoyed the progression, and found myself continuing to work on it in 30 second chunks a

It's much worse than that... The recent "The Work Number" incident showed they shared access to your entire paycheck history, in detail.

What would it take to avoid this kind of censorship?... One possible route: a new TLD specifically based on free speech principles. That's not a perfect solution either, because you'd have to trust that organization and all its f

This isn't very uber-like, since it's only for businesses. I'd love to be able to easily get someone to pick up cardboard and other trash at my house. We're big users of Amazon Prime and also starting a business that i

Consider running your own Gitlab instance.. I run one for $40/Mo on DigitalOcean, very happy with it.

That's the problem with the hysterics... If it's the right thing to do, if it's smart business and profitable, you don't need a binding agreement to force people in.

This happens a lot, especially in politics... People say they're passionate about something, and you want to believe them, but they don't actually give a shit. We could all use more skepticism, and we need to actually hold people

Interesting article, still a lot of unanswered questions and open areas for discussion... Most of my life, I was pretty unemotional. I didn't cry watching movies or TV, and even personal matters never brought me to tears. At some poi

Yeah, I remember when Parse offered these cloud functions back in 2012... It was a game-changer for "Backend-as-a-Service."

The backend for running half a million apps doesn't look anything like the backend for running a single app. Open-sourcing the actual Parse stack was not an option, and no one would've put in the effort to actually run the dozens
