Strange--I have been using Newsblur since GReader closed, and am impressed at how fast it is. There were a couple of brief periods when it was sluggish, but he's done a good job of…

Yes, but for many flights, especially international ones, the charge for those seats is not worth it. I was looking into flights to Japan, and the Premium Economy tickets are liter…

If it makes it easier to use encrypted email, then it does a little--any emails with someone with whom you have exchanged keys would be encrypted, and thus while they do indeed sti…

The NSA keeps saying that no one is abusing this program. That's completely beside the point--the point is that this program shouldn't exist at all.

The opportunity to work on a cutting-edge technical problem at scale most would never get to touch. That's a very tempting proposal. The secrecy itself probably also appeals to som…

Definitely could be. I installed on MySQL because that's what my Linode is running.

Was going to say the same. Has been steadily improving over the last month or two. Still not perfect, but the best alternative I have found yet, and I love that it's under active d…

Agreed. I used to use Command T religiously, but I move machines frequently due to the nature of my work and was spending more time trying to get it and its dependencies working on…

Definitely that, but also the skyrocketing costs of a college education. The days of paying your way through school by working summers and weekends are over. Either you are lucky e…

I'm fairly sure the reason 21-30 year olds aren't buying houses and cars in droves isn't because they are "quirky eco-conscious individuals" that your marketing "isn't speaking to"…

Yes, that kind of rate is only for partner-level time at a Big 4/Big 3 type shop--and those guys aren't billing more than a few hours a week typically. Even then, $1k/hour is prett…
