don't really understand why you closed the tab in horror. Why is it not a good slogan? After all, that's what it does.

As much as I hate the U.S. visa system and support startup visa movement, I am offended by this startup blaming their failure to a U.S. visa issue. I know this Redg guy is very well connected in SF, and many people including the TC writer i

1. If you think Python is a pain, I don't think there is any other language you can learn. I've learned lots of different languages, but Python was one of the easiest to pick up and get started--not so different from BASIC. 2. Unless thing

Not everyone is like you, who's satisfied with a small business making enough money to get by with a relatively satisfactory life. People who risk everything to make something happen don't deserve to hear "Bitch please". The people who wake

I like the product but I really dislike the way he's trying to fund it. You know, once upon a time people would just build and launch shit, instead of begging people for money even before building it. I understand this type of Kickstarter-l

Forgive me if this is a noob question, but does 4chan restrict embedding of images.4chan.org images from external urls? I was just playing around with the API and it seems all the images are rendered as the placeholder image that says "4cha

There are many ways, but you could also do something like this: <script> $(document).on("click", "p", function(event){ if($(this).hasClass("expanded"){ $(this).removeClass("expanded").addClass("collapsed"); } els

I really don't get the point. Why not just have two divs inside one paragraph, where the display property alternates whenever you click on it? Also why use an id when what you're actually doing is alternating certain classes of divs? Am I m

I first hated this sensationalist headline, but on second thought think it's the best title ever. It achieved what it's supposed to do--get attention.

What happened to Diaspora?

I wonder what happened to Diaspora. http://allthingsd.com/20120511/diaspora-says-its-back-on-tra... I was really expecting to see what kind of product they would launch. Did they just not launch at the demo day but still working on it, or

I have a feeling that everyone in this particular branch of the thread seems to criticize me based on their disagreement with the definition of terms I used. I understand it can be confusing because I used these terms interchangeably as wel

The important thing is this has nothing to do with technology. It's more about psychology--what type of assumptions people make when using these technologies.

Did you get to read my post by any chance? That's not what I talk about in the post. My point was, sites like Wikipedia are successful as non-profit, but the type of value Twitter provides is very different from the value w3c or wikimedia p

Let's say you hosted your Diaspora or Status.net or whatever on your heroku server. You post something and it gets huge traffic and the server goes down. And this doesn't happen just for you but for lots of people on average. Who will maint

Like you said, "realtime" has many definitions. And I disagree it's a misappropriated term based on marketing hype. Twitter IS realtime, just in a different context. If you stick to your strict definition, it would be incorrect to even call

I think the when we talk about Twitter, the definition of "reliability" is entirely different. When we talk about emails, we can say it's reliable as long as my email gets delivered one way or another. For example, if I send a mass email to

Great point! I agree, once a system becomes really huge it becomes hard to maintain and centralized system which used to be efficient becomes inefficient. However when the system CAN be maintained they are generally more efficient IMO. For

In fact, "Twitter is just hosted, proprietary pub/sub" is exactly the type of thinking that I was criticizing in the post. Sure the technology is not difficult to implement, but the point I was trying to make was Twitter's value is not in t

Why do you get that impression? I do have a clear understanding of realtime in the sense you are implying. That kind of "realtime" system is actually closer to the point I'm trying to make. Generally centralized architecture is better for b

Please begin though, since I will never know why you disagree with me if you don't begin. "Protocols are for when there's no good centralized way of getting things done" is actually not as crazy statement as you think, since it also means "

That's exactly my point. Single point of failure means single point of responsibility, which means that single point of failure must do a damn good job maintaining it. That's why a "non-profit" approach will never work.

I agree my post wasn't coherent. Forgive me I just wrote down what came to my mind and posted it. That said, I don't understand what you are trying to say either. It would have been nice if you discussed why my argument "by definition decen
