   I almost didn't read any of the article because of the fullscreen Nescafe ad. The comments made me give it a second try.

   Pretty neat that I know the people in this article personally.

   I believe you that many people wouldn't want this; but I'm curious about something like that. It'd be fun to try. I don't need to keep it a secret that I'm eating a burger, for example. It's pretty fun and libe

   Good point. But what if it's some weird personalized product/service that is worth a lot to one person but worthless to everyone else (like personal memories, photos, etc.).

   Are there any crypto-currencies that are not anonymous? I like secure, modern, low cost transactions, but I don't like the anonymity. I want a currency where everyone knows how much I spent, what I bought, and it applies to everyone. D

   Here's an interesting observation I made. You can instantly become both the world's richest and generous person. Take a friend that you trust, and sell him a piece of paper for $10000000000000 billion dollars. Suppose he agrees (e

   Neat stuff. I'm fascinated by the potential in this field, and working on implementing some ideas too. You see some of my efforts at https://github.com/shurcooL/Conception#demonstration , if you haven't alread

    A browser can't be in incognito mode; only a browser window can. You're supposed to close it when you're done.

    Isn't gift shopping one of the first reasons given for the use of incognito mode?

    Yes, this is indeed one of the questions that the article addresses in the "Alternatives" section.

    I think we can all agree that it's very important for some people/companies to focus on the short term, and for other people/companies on the long term. Both are important and needed.

    They just haven't created the full size iPad versions for them at this time. iOS 6/7 added some previously iPhone-only built-in apps.

    On that note, iPad doesn't even have the iPhone Calculator app, and it's _impossible_ to get it (without hacking) because it's a built-in app; one you cannot remove nor acquire from the App Store. It's also missing Compa

    It's the barrier of entry of having to download and use up all that hard-drive space. It's like having to install an .exe vs. visiting a website. Even if you trigger the .exe installation remotely, it's just not as convenient

    Are people okay with this? Despite having high internet speeds, I feel quite uncomfortable with how big the game downloads are these days. It's probably because I play games casually and try not to spend too much time, and after playin

    I've basically made the same realization a few years ago and decided to stop going through the trouble of keeping my personal code private. It's been great so far. I get all the benefits (like godoc.org providing docs for my code,

    Views are a very powerful idea, one that is currently under represented. Today, if you want a different view of a document/data, you typically have to convert the document/data into a new one (in a different format). Then, as you

    Very well said. Nothing -> something that works (in any way possible, spaghetti code, written quickly) -> something that works (clean refactored code that can be maintained/improved/changed). You can't skip step 2. If y
