I can think of two questions I'd love to see a journalist track down: 1. What's the legal process for banning a book? 2. If it's not equally as hard (or harder) for the government to take down a website, why?

I'm a daily user of CalTrain (Mt. View → SF), I'm not at all sorry to it go. The system is very broken, and is due for a reboot. 1. Payments. Using conductors to check tickets on a mass-transit system is asking to loose on fares. My commute

challenge.gov feels like a checkbox that's been preemptively marked, and not a serious tool. The problems are too vague to be acted on, the rewards are small, and the community is anemic despite the potential PR weight of the US gov.

Many thanks! This is very nifty. Since you asked… 1) Change tracking. Technical hurdles (and they're huge) aside, it would be great not to have these links break when text is added/removed. 2) Better onsite instructions. I knew how it was s

Meh… Sounds like good practice. Same way everyone should buy the .com, .net, and .org of their domain. If you've got the money, (and BofA certainly does: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/04/16/bank-of-america-q1-... ) why not do a little
