I don't think anyone in my office had a reaction other than "...What the fuck?!"

While I absolutely loved this video, I absolutely despised the former Facebook employee's long winded question that wasn't relevant to anything Elon Musk could've talked about but was instead an advertisement.

It'd be a great story if it ended with "and that's why I decided to use 1Pass!"

Ahh, makes so much more sense. I've gotten too used to the realm of hackers on here to have even considered someone not building an app like that for themselves.

Maybe I'm reading too much into the specifics, but how did he invest $7,000 to build a timer app? Is that just the development time x his old job's hourly rate? Is that including marketing? I can't fathom how an indie dev could spend almost

I... I still don't get it. I haven't used any of those applications before but I'm assuming it works by different people putting different things in a to-do list and assigning them to members, etc. How does this work in a notebook? Do you a

I have eight years of experience, both of my last two jobs were six-figures, and I've been rejected from UW CS thrice. That was before I stopped worrying about it and focused on my career instead though :) but yeah, it's insanely difficult

Used it for less than 3 minutes, got more than 10 "Share with your friends!" pop-ups that if you hit "no" on forgets the action you were trying to perform before it showed the pop-up. Very annoying.

Won't that lead to a slower page load time for a lot of people due to unnecessary DNS look-ups?

Were you in us-east-1? That sounds amazingly lucky. If only Amazon would tell us how many AZs actually went down...

Our entire team was making sure we'd give immediate response to any user who asked what was going on while we didn't have the down page up, so most people were pretty happy: http://i.imgur.com/hCP44.png

It's been fifteen minutes since our site in US-East went down and AWS Status hasn't said anything yet.

It's not Heroku, it's AWS US-East, again, again. (third time this week).

If comments like mine are being killed just for pointing out flaws, I guess I should turn on showdead before I start blabbing!

Did the title of this post really just get changed? Was what the head of the company (and much more than just a "Former Facebooker") posted to announce his company coming out of stealth not a good enough title? Until there's some public ann

Interesting back-and-forth, but seeing sites like this really makes me appreciate having Readability one button away. The combination of the huge banner and the facepile on the bottom of the screen make it very distracting to read.

So, if you selling Magazines then it's pretty awesome, everyone else loses out. Huh? I got the same e-mail too, all I got from it is that they're increasing incentives for new things they're focusing on (magazines, MyHabit, AmazonSu

This is an excellent post. I'm somewhat in the same circles as you (friends with Wesley, working with guys from Penn right now) and have been trying to make a decision on staying in my mediocre school and getting a degree in what I'm intere

Paste this into your web inspector / firebug / whereever you do Javascript to automate it, it's quite interesting! window.setInterval(function() { $("#random").click(); }, 800);

It actually is in the case I'm talking about. I'm talking about illegal websites where the only money generated is by advertisements on human eyeballs. They go way out of their way to make sure no scrapers/robots can see the videos on the p

The signature for them is that they start off with: eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d))... I've seen them most commonly used in not-quite-so-legal streaming websites online where their biggest problem is blocking robots from scraping their

Can it run inline Javascript as the page is loaded or do I have to explicitly tell it what JS to run? I want to scrape some pages that use JS packers to obfuscate their code so that it's only loaded by real browsers, but if I just use curl

I don't quite understand the point of this. What's the benefit? Isn't this the exact same thing as going through my Followers list on Twitter and looking at which ones don't have the blue "Following" button next to them (which would give me
