If there's a place for co-operative energy, there's a place for co-operative ISPs... the idealist in me really wants to see that.

I hope this works - I'm sure plenty of people in Manchester would be prepared to get rid of their existing provider if this succeeds elsewhere in the county.

While it's all been said before I did enjoy the article more than the title suggested I would. Plus the point about having a valid revenue stream is always worth hammering home again.

TL;DR: "I'm not being heard through the noise! Time to complain." The sense of entitlement in this post is offputting, I agree.

It's fascinating that physical goods manufacturing might soon have to deal with the same problems as the content creators at the bleeding edge.

Despite the terrible Microsoft execution, I think there is a real issue here about privacy... it's just that nobody in their right mind is going to weigh in just because Microsoft tells them to. People are getting more aware of what happens

Long suspected that aggregating all sorts of feeds from across the internet in a simpler (read: more accessible) way than RSS is a potentially huge growth area. This looks like a good step in the right direction.

>"it seemed a bit slow and thorough for what I'm trying to do" Okay, so as somebody who quit their job to learn to code (I just didn't realise that was what I was doing at the time), I'll say: if you are going to code you have to be tho

Pretty well-balanced article. Like in the 'bad old days' the mega-artists that appeal to the mass market are the ones reaping the rewards of economies of scale.

Read that article and replace every instance of 'Latin' with whichever programming language is least 'cool' this week. Way better.

> "The hiring market is segmented by too many technologies for me to claim to be an expert at?" I think that's a concern to many new programmers (myself included) when looking at the pace these tools and frameworks are coming out and th

How are all of the pages generated? Are they all curated user submissions?

Politician in "doesn't understand the internet" shock. It's an old story, I agree. Like when they wanted to "turn off Twitter" during the riots...

That's exactly what I thought- I don't own much, but if you're a musician you have a guitar, an amp, some pedals, some cables... and I read, so I have some books... and I like music, so some records... could call it 'shit', but it's hardly

The audaciousness of taking those lobbyists' demands word-for-word and expecting nobody to find out in this day and age is pretty shocking.

The Hartl tutorial does start with static pages (in fact I believe that's actually the name of Chapter 3), but fair play - I hear good things about the Prag Prog book too.

While this is an interesting case (having done the Treehouse tutorial myself), I've got to say that you can't beat Michael Hartl's book for a decent intro to working with Rails.

Agreed, the new design is better but the autoplay feature is frankly baffling - doubly so when you consider the lack of curation/low quality/irrelevance of 'related' tracks.

I don't know. Although we are talking tail end of the 90s, there's passing reference in No Logo/The Shock Doctrine (forget which, but think the former) by Naomi Klein to lifestyle marketers that would follow a couple of people in their targ
