I work for Aha![0]. I'm wary of trying to define the culture of one company in terms of another, so I'll just tell you about where I work, and you can decide. We are a fully distributed team, and we build a lovable product. We pub

Is there a mailing list? It's not often that I want to receive emails from websites, or even news outlets that I read, but I would love to see this in my inbox

This seems like a big bet that the net-neutrality fight is over. Buying a TV service makes it much easier to prioritize your own content...

I'm getting ever closer to accepting the pain of shifting my life away from Apple. Apple is becoming gimmicky and useless. On top of that, the security issues of late are like Windows XP level crap.

Time is a pretty powerful force, and enough of it can be monumentally terrible. In my opinion, the most recent apple releases have been a bad signal for future performance. They're leaving behind the community at their core to focus on

Many of the tools that I use have already been mentioned, so I'll only mention that VPNs make me feel much better about working from coffee shops. I use EncryptMe, but most any VPN will do

Having a bit of trouble on mobile, can someone tell me what an "episode of exercise" is? Does running a mile count? What about a walk/bike ride to work?

A lot of sites will block it, but yopmail does the trick for me. It's a public email repository (anyone can see any email sent to any address), so it's a good place for burner emails

This lends itself to supporting functional physical design. I'm getting tired of the screenification of everything. I don't want a touchscreen in my car. I want a bunch of knobs that I can reach for, feel, and use without looking

I love the pi calculus. It's a good starting point for analyzing distributed systems in a rigorous way. If you're interested in learning more about this kind of thing, check out the Kell calculus[0] and it's related calculi [

I disagree that education is a cop-out. Telling people what is credible and what is not is part if the mess that we're in now. If I can stand up a fancy looking "news" site, write my opinion as fact, and have people believe m

Yes, comcast threw tantrums in city hall on multiple occasions. Longmont's story is rather complicated and interesting. I don't know all the details, but knew a fair number of the key players. Essentially, Longmont allowed an upst

I was talking to someone 3 days ago about how his company has been hoarding Kinects because they knew this day was coming. I think robotics research is probably a reason why they're discontinuing it. Why support something that only exi

I can't seem to delete this comment. Not sure why it posted - I'm posting through an app, so maybe that caused an issue. Can a mod delete it please?

Pure speculation ahead: Suppose for a moment that the Equifax hack was carried out by a nation-state (like, say, North Korea). This is not an issue of consumer trust and safety. It is an issue of national (US) security and safety. To give a

I have found that working with older engineers has made me a significantly better developer. For example, it's really easy for new devs to become caught up in the latest libraries, even if they replicate functionality that's been

Reading articles like this reminds me how little we know. Before we had a theory of germs (viruses and bacteria), we believed that sickness came from phlogiston. This did a decent job of explaining how disease spread, but didn't do a v

If we focus only on high school debate for a minute (I have participated in and coached high school teams), the point is to teach kids critical thinking. When freshmen show up to debate for the first time, it might surprise you how bad they

I think this is exactly the point the author is making. There exist regulatory entities to protect people from exactly the kind of logic you are using. If I don't know anything about cryptocurrency, and want to start trading, it would
