I think frankly there's a lot of techies I know who are so burnt out they don't even remember what it feels like not to be burnt out. There's a lot of people who could really do with putting every electronic device in a box f

Everyone absolutely must read Feinstein's full statement. Most of the press coverage is woefully lacking in the details and context that move this into really serious political/constitutional shitstorm territory http://

People like this have apparently forgotten that if all else fails, the hoi polloi will start voting with guillotines.

Seems like one of the major unasked questions - what sort of monetary policy will work best for cryptocurrency. And what will be the decision process for that policy. The technoanarchists have conspicuously elided this question.

Yeah. It's an extremely serious situation and there are people who are injured and dead. fre5h's reply was fantastic and darkly funny, but the people trying to turn it into a running gag are being deeply tasteless.

It's fascinating to compare this with ruby 1.9, released around the same time, but seemingly with a slightly better cost/benefit ratio, having nice new features and also significantly improved performance, and with ruby 1.8 being

My favorite part of this is in the original blog post exposing the scheme, mahbodmoghadam, RapGenius co-founder/dude-bro in chief, immediately commented and said "Did you post it??? how about this: attach the HTML to THIS article

I really want to like these storage-coin ideas, but it seems like the obvious advance needed is a conceptual way to distribute the blockchain so each individual computer doesn't have to hold all of the data, and (hand-in-hand) to event

We (and I'm guessing many hosts) could probably work best with just an API call that passed in the git URL with SHA, e.g. git://github.com/SachaG/Telescope#0bed5aa60999dbdf9be7c1c9f0e71c94f527269c

Very cool! Any plan to support other hosts? I believe meteor.com isn't intended for production hosting. We've been spiffing up buildpack-based Meteor support here: https://github.com/pogoapp/buildpack-meteorit

It's a nice story for her, but the medium is the message. In this context the story plays into a tech/valley belief that it's OK to live in a world where a combination of "off the chart smarts, fierce determination, and

Helping one person with a rich benefactor and indiegogo campaign is pretty much the epitome of a local newspaper human interest story with literally nothing to say about fixing these broad topics that all of society must deal with, any more

So the United States has built a society in which its (former) students owe the government and large financial corporations more money than the government of China owes the rest of the world. I'm not sure exactly what that means, but i

I really despise this sort of tug-on-heart-strings, give-no-details-how-you'll-help charity marketing blitz. Reading through this review it seems like this is a problem that extends far beyond their website. I would urge everyone to re

Really seems kind of amazingly stupid to release those statements if the details being published here are anything close to accurate - wouldn't they have known the WP knew and could prove they were lying? The amount of trust in these c

Definitely. By letting al-Qaida know that we know that they know that we're spying on them - irregardless of the PR benefits for the NSA - these rogue leakers have caused irreparable harm to our nation and will certainly be pursued wit

Well I guess all we need to do is just trust whatever the government tells us! It's not as if we've ever been misled before.

I plan to run a startup too, and frankly having to wonder whether some types of pro-civil-liberties speech are "safe" is a good indicator of how far off the track the USA has gone.

Anyone find it interesting that "direct access to servers" keeps being mentioned when PRISM could almost be an in-joke for the kind of beam-splitting tech they were already using in Room 641A (and elsewhere) - i.e. they're no

Obama confirmed in a press conference that PRISM exists, so concluding the program is imaginary would seem to require a fair lack of critical thinking.

From a glance this looks like a formalization of what already existed at: https://api-docs.heroku.com/ and which obviously the command-line client uses (although the docs and command line/production API have drifted apart) At Pogoapp we b
