    The question I'd like to pose (and it's something I have a hard time with answering myself): Would you prefer that the government watches your Google searches, your forum postings,…

    Just spitballing here, but couldn't you just remove the hardcoded URLs and let users paste in the Snapchat URL so they'd be breaking the TOS, not you? Technically, it wouldn't be u…

    Maybe I'm missing something... if Twilio's going rate is $0.01/message, wouldn't it make better financial sense to sit down and just build this yourself? It's not like it requires …

    I found it a bit weird that they never asked for my email, they just assumed that my Gmail account was my email.

    I think I saw a comment somewhere about your IP being banned after an hour... anything we should do to avoid this? I'd hate to be scanning for 15 minutes only to be banned and not …

    Well, maybe... If the police were to work with the postal service, they could find the originating post office. Then again, they could more or less do this now, and they don't.

    I totally see where you're coming from, but since the system is mostly automated (as far as I can tell), it'd be just as easy for them to grab from a DB than to try and parse out a…

    I've emailed both Linode and Name.com asking if I can pay for his domain and hosting to continue on for eternity. http://d.pr/i/2ysc (and they're looking into it) http://d.pr/i/CEj…

    Wow... this looks really awesome! Some ideas: - An iPhone app or web interface - Allow you to upload a photo as a response - Some sort of API to add things like "How many emails di…
