There is no state law limiting retention to 48 hours. The Minnesota State Patrol -- one single statewide agency -- has voluntarily chosen to limit to 48 hours. Any local police department or county sheriff's department can retain for w

I've seen much more aggressive emails and letters, although I think this could have been better-resolved with a phone call to attempt clear up the immediate issues (e.g. proper attribution, terms and conditions) before even bringing up

Despite being in public -- and on public streets -- I think anytime the government is tracking where I go, it should require probable cause and a judge's signature. I believe ALPR circumvents the judicial system. I use my cellphone in

The other problem is that state laws aren't keeping up with law enforcement technology. FOIA-similar laws in Minnesota meant that every ALPR-captured license plate was public information, which I requested to prove a point. I got back

I don't know if I should be disappointed in Craig Newmark or not, as I don't know how much control he has. He certainly has control to speak his mind. I've seen him at the National Conference for Media Reform, Netroots Nation

If you already have customer feedback, I think you need to first assess whether the customers you have now make up a strong segment of the types of customers you'd like to continue converting. Hopefully you have data about how you acqu

I think this is an awesome idea, and the implementation of the conversation designer is beautifully simple (although it should support collapsing threads of conversation for complex interactions). At the risk of sounding a bit harsh, anyone

I understand data is encrypted before it ever leaves your machine, but I certainly wouldn't want encrypted data at-rest being exposed. Which gives me concern about Tarnap's terms: "I may provide information concerning your account and your

I must be the only one who doesn't like Flickr's redesign. Sure, there's some good benefits from it, but... - The lines and colors are harsh - The grids on the single image view separate the page in non-equal thirds which feels awkward - A

I've worked for several startups in the Bay Area, and only one did anything resembling a background check. Although they wouldn't have found anything, I think something bad in my past I'm long removed from wouldn't have been a barrier. Mo

"They have to wait 45+ days for paypal/credit cards to clear" This is not a thing. There's no concept of 'clearing' when it comes to credit cards; they are authorized for a specific dollar amount or they aren't. If a merchant authorizes $10

I think person in Aaron's position most definitely would have been impacted by the conviction — a stayed sentence or probation could have included prohibitions on certain work or activities, and it would have made political relationships di

While I'm a big fan of getting public records online and accessible, PlainSite isn't the place to do it — every link results in a paywall. This is the opposite of what Aaron was fighting for. Asymptote, on the other hand, I think is a good

They should fix the hacker thing (though I just tried and was not able to reproduce)... but I have not experienced any problems paying with a credit card in my 5+ years of being a NameCheap customer.

Really disappointing to see someone's work get trashed. Rock on for open sourcing it.

This is excellent. Really demonstrates trust and confidence, and brings attention to Meaningful Use certification, which is a big deal. Clear call to action to get started and quick points to jump into product views. Really good work, and I

I noticed this when I did my export as well, but when I saw the data, it was only public information. But makes for a good headline for this blogger it seems.

I would totally use this, and I think it's an excellent product name. The most painful thing for me and my dog has been finding reputable dog boarding, doggy daycare, vets, etc. I just moved across the country, so there's not many people I

I am in love with Hype and I've used it on several projects with startups and web agencies to make animated demos of mobile apps, HTML5 presentations, etc. Excited to explore these new features!

I'm failing to see any indication that the government was actually involved. Did the US government serve upon GoDaddy? JOTFORM.COM nameservers are set to NS1.SUSPENDED-FOR.SPAM-AND-ABUSE.COM, and spam-and-abuse.com is owned by GoDaddy. Ju

I cannot say enough good things about CodeKit (which is basically a more intense version of LESS.app, from the same guy). It's improved my workflow considerably and saves the hassle of concatenating and minimizing server-side when I'm cran

I think this is really cool and most definitely needed, but I think it needs to have more than just cards. Certified Mail is a huge requirement for a lot of businesses and right now there's no great solution for automating that -- at least

Yes, this. It's awesome that AWS is providing server-side encryption at no additional cost and with no additional client-side implementation effort, but ultimately your data is still at risk. When Dropbox's authentication layer failed, the

'Disrupt' has an entirely different meaning when you're working in healthcare or government, where there's an intimidating culture of politics, status quo and big money. Actually, those sectors are probably the ones that need disrupting th
