Thanks for the feedback. We're revamping this part in the next version -- for now you can add Facebook or Twitter directly from the share box, or sign in on the web to associate your Google account and get suggestions from Reader.

Post tweets: so you can share from the app. Update profile: We don't do it, but Twitter only has 3 discrete permission levels (read, read/write, read/write/DM). We never write to your Twitter account unless you explicitly ask us to.

Oops -- think I broke it when I changed the survey link text. Think it's fixed now, thanks for posting.

Good point, thanks. I edited the post, and here's a direct link to the survey for anyone who missed it: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dGRzR2d...

We only use that permission to allow you to share stories you find with Prismatic. We'll never tweet unless you ask us to.

FTA: "It’s a system whereby developers can sign up for free-of-charge Apple developer IDs which they can then use to cryptographically sign their applications."

It's probably a reference to this famous comic: http://bit.ly/jb485V (Wikipedia, shortened because HN breaks the real URL by stripping out the apostrophe).

Note that this is from 2008, so some of the code samples are out-of-date (e.g., case is now part of clojure.core).

Lion's TextEdit also takes > 10 seconds to pop up on my brand new mac with an SSD. Fortunately, Snow Leopard's TextEdit.app still works, and is just as snappy as ever, if you still have a copy. Hopefully they'll fix this in the .1 upd

Patent trolls: I don't have a good answer, other than (1) nobody would be worse off than before in this regard, and (2) once the only lawsuits are from patent trolls, it may be much easier to enact legal change. (Members of the pool will be

by w01fe 15y ago
Exactly. Joining the pool effectively signs away your rights to make offensive lawsuits, in exchange for gaining the rights of the entire pool for defensive purposes.

by w01fe 15y ago
Thanks, that is definitely related (and admirable). But, in my scheme the proposed pool would sue anyone who sues for software patent infringement, regardless of whether the original suit has anything to do with patents in the pool. To r

Here's an idea I had the other day, which may be crazy or old news: Google should start a patent pool with all of their patents. Every company would be granted full license to use these patents, as long as they commit not to sue anyone els

If you had x disk space before, now you have 1.25x. That means your current usage is x / 1.25x = 0.8.

Anonymizing bitcoins is not difficult. For example, you can deposit your coins in an online wallet service, and then withdraw some fraction of that amount to an anonymous address. Because the wallet provider can pool its coins, the coins

This event happened almost a year ago, when the value of said coins was closer to $900. http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=782.0

That's a start, but there are many other potential vectors for cookie data. See: http://samy.pl/evercookie/

Yes, I've read that businesses can set a limit. However, a low limit might discourage Groupon from running their deal.

Almost. Record types are checked as part of Clojure's "=", but not as part of Java's ".equals". See [1] and linked material. This means that Foo{:x 1} and Bar{:x 1} will collide in sets and as map keys (of Clojure or Java varieties). Th

Human reaction time to visual stimuli is approximately 150 to 300 ms [1]. I don't know how Watson was configured, but even with the same visual cue I would guess it could press the button in a few milliseconds. That's a massive advantage

I was waiting for Tree Style Tabs to switch to Chrome, finally gave up and switched anyway two weeks ago. While the vertical tabs option does exist in Chrome, it's inferior to the Firefox offering in a number of ways. In particular, there
