"A great disservice"? Lighten up, this was a hackathon project, not a doctoral thesis. And the code is there for anyone to build upon using other factors.

You don't have to put on a tin foil hat, as soon as marijuana is federally legal, Monsanto, Philip Morris, Camel cigarettes will be all ready to grow their own. It's kind of obvious that these folks have the farm land, distributio

With my friends, neuroscience doctors are still "on the fence" with marijuana. It hasn't been tested enough, blah blah. I stopped using a long while back, it did not agree with me. Should it be illegal? No, plenty of people a

You can already buy animal-free synthetic fur coats, and if you pay even $1,000 you're getting ripped off in a big way.

Huh? Before we start indulging in fantasies of tech folks begatting like in the Bible and creating a master IT race, could we care about the kids that people already created first? The kids on the planet already have plenty of potential, we

Yes, you said it much more succinctly than I did.

True, for sure. But then perfect is the enemy of good, which for anyone doing software should remember. Until a customer or someone important actually cares about that 2px off CSS, that refactor you want to do, or your caching/perform

Yes, I will take this into account, thank you. Either way, it doesn't seem to be about actually funding companies. Maybe stock trades can help influence companies to change strategies or leaders, but I don't see the point of doing

I hope I'm not the only one missing the point of HFT. Yes, you can make a lot of money buying and selling stocks, but what is HFT actually contributing to the economy other than paying HR costs for its employees?

I share your concerns, IMHO it would be awesome if we had ten Edward Snowdens from ten countries. But we don't so I don't think it's fair to put it against Wikileaks for not leaking something that was not given to them. Seems

Very true. Talking to your co-founder "sometime this week" and your employee because if you don't fire him you "fucking won't make payroll" for all of two paychecks should really have been the first moves. But

Yes, just to join the echo chamber for a minute. For someone new to Rails, but not to OOP/web dev/sysadmin, Hartl did a really great job on highlighting how to work through the many decisions that are already made for you in Rails

Not to be off-topic but because you asked... Because the only other real options for P/VP in 2008 and 2012 were even scarier to me each time, and I live in a swing state. I also wasn't wowed by the third party candidates (but have

These petitions don't really seem to matter -- there are plenty without a response. Previously, the administration "promised" to respond to all w/ 25,000 signatures. Now it's 100k. What policies have been affected i

This is either a masterful troll by the TV participants, or strong mental illness. Maybe both. I'm not interested in watching psycho meltdowns as entertainment. Leave it to a self-proclaimed "SEO and marketing" expert to pick an easy target

Because people learn differently. I learn a ton from google searches every day at work but new topics are better served by a structured program. When I learned Rails I paid $100 or so to Hartl and another $30 for the Obie book. That's one h

> oppression Olympics. Well said. I'm surprised at how reactionary these comments are. Most just sound really defensive. Working hard for a startup, a large or small business doesn't erase sexism. You did good, but it doesn't change so

Try your native email client. gmail has IMAP for free over HTTPS, and is available on every Android device, so I don't understand what this post is trying to say. If you don't like the web interface, go try one of the other hundred options

I hope you're not insinuating that every internal memo that Kara Swisher gets BCC'd on isn't actually worthy of some smartass blog post. Seriously though, it's funny to see Swisher post every lame email from Yahoo corporate and write about

I pay $10 to Rdio each month, and paid a lot to iTunes before that. I definitely don't listen to one sucky song for every one that I like. Sitting at a desk coding and listening to music in your free time is an easy 200 hours a month. So al
