I think you are right. People want to build on App.net. The problem is ~10,000 people have signed up and there are already ~100 apps for app.net[1]. To me that sounds like a developer circle-jerk. Developers and other technophiles typic

This is perfect. We've been using GitHub + OpenSCAD and have been looking for a less hacky way of doing 3D diffs. Signed up!

That is a good point. This font does degrade gracefully.

That is a false analogy. There are no other ways to represent green that works for color blind people and is still green for everyone else. Using SVG for a button and using a Font for that button are completely interchangeable, visually.

When I remap my fonts for accessibility reasons I can still see an SVG. However I'm left with tons of little boxes on Github's website where the buttons belong. SVG could be used for those buttons and they would get the same result.

You are aware it breaks accessibility, right?

Why do people still insist on doing this? I prefer to remap all fonts to two (a serif and a sans) that are much easier for me to read. When people use these silly font+glyph combos I never use their software. The one rare exception is Gi

Added to the reading list. I've been saying this for quite a while. I think we were able to capture this in our 9th grade math games we have been working on.

I had an application that did this about a year ago. The results were a bit rubbish though. I wonder if it has improved and how it compares to this thing. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/vital-signs-camera-philips/id...

I don't think it is a widely held opinion. Hopefully this move helps you find the rest of your backers. :D Backed.

Hopefully I'll be wearing my google glass too! So, I guess so. True privacy is very hard. You could set up a camera to read plates at some choice points and know the whereabouts of most of the people in your city. If you want to do someth

You are suggesting human's will run into it more often right? I sincerely doubt we will see too many autonomous-car-at-fault crashes. The blacked out Lexus SUV's I saw at a Google event a few weeks ago were very discrete minus the velodyne

Me either but I would have appreciated it since it is probably the most used 3rd party service for our company. We will be moving to their enterprise setup in the near future anyway so it should not be an issue for us going forward.

Was there a warning about this update? I heard about 10 minutes of commotion in our office due to this update. Mostly surprise at the timing which was the middle of the work day on a Monday.

Again...this is why you never ever consent to a search. You have nothing to gain from consenting to a search or talking to a police officer. There is no way any person can be aware of all federal and local regulations. It is best to avoi

That article does a poor job proving that you could not find the name before with a simple google search and/or some basic deduction.

The email address is/was easily found by a google search. I don't think it was private information but I can see how it is 'personal'. It really depends on how Twitter defines "personal information".

Any word on the cause? Hopefully this has zero relation to the allegations of SPAM from dropbox users in this thread: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4255927

I tend toward #2. Also, "The answer to that question cannot possibly violate the privacy of any individual." It would violate privacy if they were monitoring all web/phone/mail traffic which would effectively bring the number to all americ

I hate this trend so much. I must say it feels like it "Breaks" the web. I use Gill Dyslexic[1] on all websites across the internet and I'm tired of having to put in exceptions for sites like github. Icons should be images. [1] http://www.

Doesn't really work when it is posted in the FAQ. This appears to be a poor cover-up or a pretty big internal misunderstanding. http://i.imgur.com/eTwHH.png

This is interesting and I am looking forward to signing up! I am wondering if the Military affiliation of one of the founders will cause hesitation. I am a founder who has a military background, not nearly as long and impressive as CDR Hy

Congratulations to the team and founders. I like that Mark Zuckerberg is planning on keeping sharing with other social networks and keeping the Instagram product separate from the Facebook product.

So I looked into this and found a case in Fort Worth where a 'Cell Phone Tracker' was purchased and it looks like it is marketed and produced by Harris Corporation.[1] I found their product list if you want to dig through it. [2] [1] http:
