   Good suggestion. An RSS feed sort of exists already, and twitter is just a better vehicle to deliver these alerts. We could try to throttle ourselves, and better filter e.g. duplicates, that is true.

   Thanks for the suggestion! Twitter is being used since many users already have it setup including push notifications. I would love to build a push system of my own (it's also right up my alley), but onboarding users to a proprietary sy

   Possibly, but most reports never mention specific coordinates. Israelis already have complete drone coverage of Gaza Strip, they don't need reports on hits. Palestinians cannot possibly use coordinates to aim homebrew rockets being use

   Again, I will not comment on the political aspect of this specific campaign. (Hit my feed to get a sense of my personal opinions if you are truly interested.) I care about information dissemination and about helping humans on both side of a

   No reason to keep things secret, it's just that the entire content is highly localized (specifically, it's all Hebrew) and wouldn't mean much to non-local users.

   It does, but only based on second-hand reports. See my additional response on the sibling thread.

   Unfortunately, it caters mostly to the Israeli side, as it is in Hebrew and relies on Hebrew sources of information. I would very much be interested in helping build a similar system for Palestinians in Gaza, but from past attempts to organ

    I actually contacted @support 3 months ago about this problem, and they dismissed it as a non-issue.

    Please, I completely understand, and trust me our views on this issue aren't very different. My goal is to disseminate breaking news and alerts as quickly and widely as possible, to whomever needs it.

    We'd rather not fragment our content in this way, and even if we did, updating our automated scripts to handle this scenario wouldn't be trivial.

    No app, just a simple feed that we post tweets to from various sources via API. Further details will be gladly discussed with @support staff.

    The 1.7 release is another great upgrade to the solid Django ecosystem. Personally I am very much looking forward to native migrations (another step forward from South, which by itself was awesome) as well as some of the new custom QuerySet

    If it was "before pushing" that means the commit has been made, and thus isn't lost (but accessible via the reflog.)

    With 64MB RAM, this could have been a superior alternative to the TL-WR703n [1]. Still even with 32MB it's nice to see more devices and boards in this area. [1] - http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wr703n

    Are you seriously comparing the privileges given to a white young male working at a tech job in Silicon Valley to those (or lack thereof) of a janitor?

    The problem clearly lies with mobile platforms that lack any option of extendability. This is by design, and as usual, at the expense of your privacy and security.
