Thanks for the response. Something I hadn't given much thought for is self confidence. It's important to both my wife and I to instill that in both of our kids. I just didn't think about the role a school might have in that.

Yes, the end goal is the same for both approaches. The reason I believe providing backwards compatability for something like email is that its probably one of the oldest and heavily used protocols people rely on today. I believe you can thi

I think the best way forward is to wrap IMAP instead of trying to come up with something entirely new. The ultimate goal is a better protocol but we won't get there by simply building a better protocol.

I'm genuinely curios. My perspective on parenting might be a bit different but hearing yours might help round mine out. I don't want to send my kids to an inner-city school for the sake of making a point but I do want to for a cou

I think bitcoin is a fascinating product. I'm not sure what the real world value may be though. Lots of thoughts on what parts of bitcoin might make life better for the masses but we haven't seen it yet. I think we will but for th

I look up quotes from movies on occasion. I wouldn't say I'm avid about it though and tend to look it up on Google when I need. That works good enough for me. Did you envision a community that frequents the site/app or would

My initial thought was how most email enhancement ideas actually create more work than they save in the long run. That was until I saw the demo. Looks like this could be a tremendous time saver. Kudos on the work.

Ultimately if neither party is bad then the contract aims to set expectations and clearly outlines what each party expects. But.... The moment you have to "enforce" or "defend" a contract you've essentially lost. Do

Are there NO alternatives to what Lavabit provided? Even if it required software installation on the client? I have to assume Snowden understood the architecture of a "secure" webmail provider but still went with it. Better than G

It mentions pieces smaller than 5mm and talks about fibers from clothing that's been washed. Perhaps that's why the concentration is 1,000 greater than the Great Pacific garbage patch? I'm curious if the comparison is apples

Anyone able to explain why China seems so sporadic? Also, I'm really happy to see all countries improving over time.

This works pretty well. Tagasauris has been around for a while and do something similar (but a bit more). Great work though. I threw a bunch of my photos and it did a good job tagging with people, bike, beach, etc. I've been wanting to

What I meant was that power outages in India are much more common; sometimes scheduled. The utility of having a flashlight on you is an order of magnitude higher in places where the electricity goes out on a frequent basis. Even if you on

Sort of stating the obvious. Communities need a lot of momentum (heck, acceleration) to thrive. And even those communities are very fragile. Introducing even the slightest change (like saying no one is going to continue babying it) can co

I don't know. Community members usually undervalue the product owner's involvement as well. Stewarding a community is a difficult job. You need more than just passion and I imagine finding one and feeling confident that they'

Not enough people willing to pay to pivot to something people are (possibly) happy to pay for. That's what App.net was. It had good signs of support at the start and they dove in head first -- I think a wise decision. The odds were aga

That's my point. Parse offers most of that and seems like a much easier way to get started. I've never used nor am I a big fan of Parse but if you're in the market I'd imagine it Parse is geared towards front end develop

From my comment - over something like Parse or FireBase . Parse covers DynamoDB and SNS for push notifications. And possibly files (I've never used it, so don't know for sure) [1]. Not sure the remainder is that compelling. [1]
