Without following more links, it's completely unclear to me what this project does, who you are, or why I should give you money. Maybe it's just inside-baseball that I don't understand, but I think you need rework your pitch

I'd say that happens a lot _less_ on facebook though compared to a site like reddit, because more people are cognizant that they're using their real life identity. People also post pictures of their shiny new credit cards to twitt

That might work for a very small community, but past a certain size it fails. Even reddit has had a large number of times that doxxing or threat's 'slipped through', not to mention things like the white supremacist subreddit

That's absolutely, categorically untrue. If you received a death threat on hacker news that listed your full name, and your kids' school addresses, wouldn't that give you a panic attack? I'd call that harm without a doub

Wikileaks said they did that, but Manning did not. So they very well could've dumped them all had they been less ethical, or even by accident.

In 1994 there was a court case where some workers who were poisoned working at Groom Lake sued the gov't. [1] Apparently at one point a government lawyer, in using the state secrets privilege to deny examination of relevant witnesses r

Are there projects like this that let me embed a third-party URL instead of direct code? So if a publisher provides me with a link to widget.js, I could just run some sort of Adsafe.executeInWrapper( http://example.com/widget

That's a _really_ tough thing to solve. If your opponent has rooted the box of someone with credentials, they're going to get those credentials. If you want any kind of remote work productivity though, you're going to have to

That's correct; via wiki - For example ZIP code 42223 spans Christian KY and Montgomery TN, and ZIP code 97635 spans Lake OR and Modoc CA. Zip codes are also non-contiguous in some areas, and not bounded-polygons in others which makes

"Are" is the indicative of the verb "to be". "There are 10 strawberries." Is an English sentence, although it sounds funny out of context.

Yeah, I know it's their PR event so their format, but reddit is really perfect for these, why not use it?

You're looking at the site for the Washington Post Company, not the Washington Post newspaper (confusing, I know). EDIT: Nope, just the newspapers. See the press release - The transaction covers The Washington Post and other publishing

That's definitely true, although I'd still be worried about system problems further up the chain. (Load balancers, firewalls, etc). Hopefully even with managed hosting you're still not at the mercy of any one hardware/so

That depends heavily on your company's skills and where you live. Colo is Much cheaper than good (read: useful) managed hosting, but you have to either have the money for a staff of 3+ local sysadmins so that someone can always be on c

I'm certain that people have, but (as the article mentions) part of the point of these is to lure a certain kind of unsophisticated consumer while filtering out the others, which is not exactly a strategy you want to pursue for SaaS.

I think it partially exploded because this wasn't some youtube celeb or musician (not that they don't have a right to be harassment free), but a _professional_ blogging about, of all things, _user experience_. There was quite a bi

The problem is, at some point it becomes the _individual's_ best interest not to pay for education, but it's in _everyone's_ best interest to have more education. This is a classic collective action/free rider problem. S

In most political philosophies, one of the main purposes of government is to tackle collective action/free rider problems. You're forced to subsidize everyone's education because although it's rational to subsidize it up

You're basically right, but if it passes both chambers and the president vetos it, they can over-ride that veto with a 2/3 majority of each chamber. That's unlikely, so you're correct in parsing it as a statement being m

Those carbon copiers were the way they charged CCs for years before computers, right? So presumably there are a decent number of safeguards built in. (Disclaimer: I'm 29, so don't really remember a time when those things were comm
