Could you share links to those projects that you are following and elaborate on the ideas that has you excited?

You are right. But the problem that institutions face is that as the sums of money gets smaller, the relative cost of doing due diligence on the idea/team gets significantly larger.

Thanks for putting the works into the public domain Mikael! You should link to the actual license though: http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/ Thank you again and good luck with the effort!

For any AWS folk on here, it'd be great to know how this fits with the consistency guarantees. Can we do strongly consistent index queries? Also, any chance we could have strongly consistent auto-expiring keys in DynamoDB? Would make Dynamo

Nice thought Dave. Aaron did already address this in his "If I get hit by a truck..." post: http://www.aaronsw.com/2002/continuity And Sean is most definitely on the case. But please give him some time and space.

If IRC chat logs are legally admissible, I can provide documentation going back to at least 2001 of Aaron being in favour of putting all of his work into the Public Domain.

As a fanatical user of calendaraboutnothing in the past, I'm stoked to see the streak graph on the profile page. As others have mentioned, it can be extremely motivating! However, I really don't care for most of my popular repos or some of

I wouldn't normally post a Kickstarter, but as a startup founder I've found Galcon to be an amazingly fun way to take quick breaks. The best bit about it is the community — which has a surprising number of fellow startup founders who are re

I love both. If you are writing a production app today, I would strongly recommend Go. However, if you want to write an app that you want to take over the world with in a year or so, I would strongly recommend coding it in Rust. Go is a bea

It's nice that they are expanding. But I really wish they would add IPv6 support for EC2 instances. It sucks to not be able to natively use IPv6 for UDP applications on EC2 :(

This is one of the main reasons that I use Go. Its libraries are of significantly higher quality than most other languages. And since most libraries are native, it's much easier to expand on their capabilities without having to resort to fo

Because it is a pretty cool project? Linking directly to the Kickstarter would have been more useful though: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/impossible/impossible-in...

Make each of the line items clickable to reveal the detailed info. And perhaps move the current button to the top right of the block and rename it to something like "Expand All".

Even if Apple fix the account recovery process, the fact that any flaw in iCloud security could easily lead to all attached devices getting remotely wiped is extremely scary. All of your work gone in moments! Don't get me wrong, remote wipe

Sadly, that M2Crypto script doesn't check for certificates which are not trusted for issuing SSL server certs. So whilst it happens to skip a few, it will include over a dozen inappropriate certs in the final output!! This is exactly the p

Disclaimer: I don't particularly agree with the Certificate Authority mechanism that we currently use with TLS. However, given that it's what we currently have, I'd strongly advice taking advantage of the security that it provides. Requirin

When you validate server certificates from HTTPS clients, please be sure to use the right set of root certs. Mozilla maintain a decent list of these [1], but it's not in the PEM format that most HTTPS client libraries expect, e.g. Python's

Great question. Unfortunately, it's not easy to do DNS queries from within today's browsers. However, all modern browsers already support [1] cross-origin XMLHttpRequests and the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header [2]. Thus a fixed URI like
