I think it's because it's not seamlessly integrated into Github and instead relies on external services that aren't intercompatible. If Github integrated/bought one of these services and made everything work smoothly wit

What are the chances that these go down the path of HackPad and be turned into open source projects? I think it's a win-win situation if companies, such as Google and now Dropbox: let go of the responsibility of maintaining it and allo

They put a very specific list of talks that they do not approve - it does seem that they spent some time going through the content that CCC wanted to share through this app before finally rejecting it.

Could you add an examples page? I think it would be easier for potential clients to understand what you're offering, as well as gather inspiration, if you distinctly show a demo of how each page type works (without having to sign up).

I feel that I'm in a fairly related situation myself. A week ago I packed my backpack, and flew out to London to start a startup. Since my parents are not really supportive of me as I'm not "studying or working" in their

I spend a lot of time playing with a laser cutter (120w generic from China). A lot of the things that they talk about are quite cool, but I think that they do not show all the other parts that also require time and effort - although I do im

This is a really cool service, I can already think of a few cool uses for this. I once participated in a project (movie to gif library), and one of the biggest constraints was the cost of cloud storage - hopefully more competition in this s

In my experience, blocking cookies and/or using incognito mode works to block off their solicitations. Now if only someone would find a solution for Scribd..

What sorts of traffic are you seeing out of Africa? How does it compare to Europe and NA, and do you think it's worth for CDNs and large companies to host content there?

It appears that someone has already done something like this [0]. In 2013 during 30C3 in Hamburg, someone bought in a bicycle which you used to bike through cities virtually using an Oculus rift [1]. Unfortunately I couldn't find any e

I have to agree with bballard, this is incredibly frustrating, and had I not have read your comments I would have abandoned the site. Please make this the default - many people are used to typing this way.

There used to be HipHop [0], a simple app that scraped mp3 sites and streamed music from them. Although it was fully functional (and still appears to work on my side), there is no music discovery, only search - which is a limiting factor fo

That's what I was thinking too. Just imagine all the potential that these sorts of snaps can have, especially given their audience which is often considered to be one of the most valuable [1]. Could be something as simple as a local ad

You can essentially already do this with a Raspberry Pi, PiCam, battery pack and opencv. The hardware will cost you under $100, and there are already various libraries that can process the license plates [0]. With a 3g stick you could even

Personally I prefer AdFree[0], it's a very simple utility that blocks ads on the host files level, and automatically updates this file daily. On desktop Chrome, Adblock appears to be a better choice, since they don't selectively s

That's a very interesting point that you're making. Especially when you look at recent events with critical infrastructure software, and the numerous people who were surprised to see how underfunded those developers were. After th

The cheapest seedbox I've used that was usable was 10$ per month. You're definitely paying for the support and the time they put into making sure everything runs smoothly. With DO I already have droplets that are running well unde

You might want to check the electrical setup at your home. A friend had issues with incandescent light bulbs going out every few months, he replaced them with LEDs, and they still crapped out too quickly. I'm not well versed on electri

It would be interesting to see if they will release it, I guess there would be concerns with privacy for people who weren't in the alleged 70% [1] who's accounts got closed. I guess it's more of an ethical question. [1] http

Some Chinese phones reportedly have spyware/malware that shares information back with servers in China, which transmits data regardless whether you want to or not, even without a SIM card. It's possible that there are also firmwar
