Apple has refined their ability to continuously improve these products in ways that don't at first appear impressive, but in fact dramatically improve the user experience. Each time this happens I'm inclined to be underwhelmed, bu

Does anyone else find it ironic that there are so many articles bemoaning the annoyances of web services written on the web service Medium?

Whew. This explains a bug from six months ago that drove me up the wall. I could never figure it out.

Sometimes I think I have become so used to the extreme hyperbole of linkbait headlines that I forget it's even there. You're right.

What's really refreshing about this is that it opens up something we think of as completely static (housing) to the possibility of continuous improvement. I really appreciate the effort to refine the structure. Our concept of improving

I keep hoping that Schneier's position is going to be some kind of guiding light forward because of his longstanding position that these "revelations" should be taken for granted. Since he does seem to be freaking out, do you

That connect vulnerability is pretty significant. Makes me pay attention despite the fact there's no way to syndicate the feed.

So if we pick where to host the containers, where's the markup? How does Ctl-C make money?

It's weird: if it's such a good thing, why not make it more prominent? It was the last thing I read on the page and it left me confused.

I think your comment is apt, and I really appreciate the Doisneau quote. What he describes seems to hold true for design always: the "new" is digested in to the collective consciousness and thereby becomes normal, requiring a new

Could this be an elaborate conspiracy? I doubt it. Wouldn't it be nice to see WikiLeaks say something just isn't that big of a deal for a change?

Could someone elaborate on the significance of this?

I have always thought of this as one of the best ways to start off a project. Be humble, ask for feedback, and share your work.

This was my first thought as well. I'm in the Bay. I'd do it.

Have to give you more than an upvote here. This is an excellent point, and could be extended to many companies that are concerned with privacy. It would be great if their leaders made preemptive public statements on how they would handle th

I was thinking about the "sharing economy" yesterday and started wondering if you could approach its underlying infrastructure as a software problem. It's easy, in our heads, to generalize the aspirations of the many companie

I'd say it's your tacit responsibility, simply because of your concern, to build tools to resist the outcome you're worried about. It's imaginable that we will live in a future with good encryption and privacy controls.

It seems to me that some people read those books and didn't understand them to be cautionary.

I agree that we would do well to think completely outside the existing framework of services. Under present circumstances openness has moved to the forefront of peoples' thinking in lieu of imagining more fundamental changes. This is p

I have been reading the cypherpunks archives recently, and have noticed that Declan was pretty active on that list. Thought it worth mentioning, as his articles have been popping up on HN with increasing frequency.

I think you're falling in to the trap of supporting the OP's point by overreacting. Do you really believe that it _should_ be impossible for an average person who desires a sudoku solver to get one without any engineering knowledg

I think your architecture metaphor is apt.

I've been thinking quite a lot about that exact thing as well. There must be a way to build great commercial tools that are also truly secure. I'd love to discuss further. Contact info in my profile.

I think this project has great ambition and tone. I like it, it seems good. But — trust users to manage their own physical data? Forget it. It seems to me that people don't just want their data accessible from everywhere, but they want

This really is a great project. Thanks for providing the links. It looks like you're thinking about the right things in building something like this. I'm excited to look at the code!

Having access to a kitchen may be the main reason that I much prefer AirBnB when traveling. I can't stand being forced to eat every single meal out of the house during an entire trip.

I look forward to the day when git is the defacto way to collaborate, and I'm so happy to see that GitHub is leading the way forward. This kind of stuff is great!
