I like this. Sounds like you work with a handful of people with managable egos who don't feel threatened by one anothers' skill / competence. I personally would count myself lucky …

Honest question. Don't you think this kind of AI is precisely the AI that Gates, Musk, and Hawking are warning against?

As a seasoned engineer, I could not agree more with the justifications you provide. As a business owner who's customers are actively engaged with my staff who need servers and reso…

didn't take long for someone to miss the point entirely.

Just my $0.02, but it seems to me that if the site is akin to a book as you say, wouldn't the behavior you're suggesting doesn't make sense (TOC, chapter, TOC, chapter) work for a …

Any plans for an Android version? Disappointed that I can't check this app out. (Or at least an Android sign up page so I'm not missed when I forget about it in the next 20 minutes…

Article is 404 inside of 5 hours. That's fairly swift. (assuming OP didn't remove it himself)

Maybe. But my hands feel better with hot water.

I have a question from the article that I hope someone here can answer... What's the difference between simple encryption and the "strong" encryption Snowden was insisting on? True…

In a sanitized or controlled scenario, this makes sense. Passion and emotion, however, are impossible to strip from opinions in the context of the Snowden revelations that started …

They look like bigger fools now for giving him the Nobel than they did when he hadn't accomplished anything.

Again, we are not the police and not a court of law. Authorities can and do require access to customer data from time to time in a way justified by local law; we comply with the la…

I hear the point. Seriously I do. But the Constitution the US is bound by is not an agreement between the US government and citizens of the world. It's an agreement between the US …

Does anyone else smell "Friday Night News Dump"?

> I don't understand how this argument that the constitution of a country (which represents its highest thoughts and ideals) can be applied selectively (i.e., only to citizens). If…

One of the items I'm going to be most interested in from your service (when the time comes for you guys to start working on it) will be the TOS and/or practices you put in place. I…

There are 3 platforms I care about, Windows, Android, and Linux. For the last 2 weeks I've been taking actions that attempt to pull-back my public footprint and re-exert control ov…

Without having visited your URL, or read your TOS, or evaluated your service for ease of use / viability, I will tell you right now that I would gladly pay a cost equivalent to wha…

This is frustrating and it's a false choice. "The Internet" is otherwise known as the people who were most likely to purchase an XBox 1 before hearing about the draconian DRM polic…

Love her or hate her, Rachael Maddow said of Hastings tonight (paraphrased from memory) "There are a lot of journalists who hope to be or claim to be fearless in their reporting. M…

I'm trying hard to be rational here and not jump to conclusions.
