   Thanks I appreciate it! I'm really interested in how your experience searching for jobs online has been -- Because from my experience, it is a giant pain in the ass.

   Yep. Think of it as 3.2 instagrams.

   I just wanted to thank you -- I'd never heard of freenet. I know sometimes "how is this different than x" is not considered constructive to some, these posts genuinely pique my interest. Anyone who is interested - https:&#x2

   selectodude, Can you explain how HFT minimizes volatility? I was always under the impression HFT made the swing wider as when the price drops, naive algorithms sell anticipating a wider drop.

   Not only is it inflated, but it has more volatility. I no longer own any bitcoins, but if I were going to invest or purchase from an exchange, it would not by MtGox because of all the HFT that happens there.

    I completely understand where you are coming from -- Just had this conversation with someone over twitter. oEmbed is a standard, and I really think there are a lot of cool things that can be done with it given the opportunity. Currently, th

    Absolutely! Thanks for this! I will get a nice and neat list together for everyone. Again, if you need it short term -- don't hesitate to reach out!

    Absolutely! As you can see in the responses for youtube, vimeo, etc -- I do include the responsive HTML. I will make a better inspector so you can interactively see what is being sent, and what you are getting back :)

    Any way I can see some example sites already hosted with Forge? I've been considering using S3+Cloudfront, and this looks like a cleaner solution!

    Lots of hate will come at me I'm sure, I think this is a good move for Microsoft. We need a more unified Microsoft branding push. What we don't need however, is more confusing unification (Surface RT will now become the Surface in

    OP might not think there is something wrong with the XBox One... however I there is no denying that it was a PR catastrophe with the it's always online stuff. Flip flopping after a product introduction does not bode well IMO. Edit:

    I will probably get downvoted into oblivion for this... So let me preface by saying that I really like the new design. At what point do you as a startup justify spending a huge amount of money on a "designer" to tweak a font? Does
