There are those of us who look forward to exactly that: the ability to own our participation in the content we consume. When you pay for content, you are the customer. When someone…

Thanks for the feedback! We've recently implemented some pretty big performance improvements in the filesystem, including prefetching files, caching them encrypted to your local di…

Great question! We give a little bit of detail here: https://keybase.io/docs/kbfs#frictionless-sharing But the basic model is that when you share or chat with someone@twitter, that…

First of all, congratulations on an excellent job with the design and UX of Blue Ocean! There's tremendous potential here. I hate to use HN for bug reports, but since you asked abo…

It's great and beautiful. However, it isn't yet as powerful as Jenkins Classic. So if you've been using Jenkins for a while, there's a good chance that Blue Ocean doesn't have the …

I can't seem to enable indexing for my team's public repos, only my own. Other sites with GitHub login (e.g. Travis) allow you to login as your team rather than your individual use…

There has been at least one high-profile sex trafficking bust in the Seattle area recently [1]. That seems to correlate with an uptick in opinion articles decrying prostitution and…

I actually wrote something like that for Keybase before KBFS was announced: https://github.com/jzila/kb-login-ext The approach you detailed is the way to go once the filesystem is …

From the article: "...hydrogen sulfide under a pressure of 1.5 million atmospheres exhibits phonon-mediated superconductivity at 203 K". So, yes, dry-ice level temperature, but inc…

I think the point was to illustrate the difference in energy requirements for the rocket to impart to the payload. That said, re-reading Elon's article, he did explicitly say _kine…

Sure, but it's energy that a rocket needs to impart nevertheless.

Potential energy is energy, so it's not quite correct that New Shepard had 0 joules at 100km. At 100km and 0 velocity it'll have about 1 gigajoule of energy per metric ton of mass.…

This is beautiful. It's the first time I've been able to understand special relativity in terms of geometry. Your visualization makes it clear how everything from time dilation to …

Sam Altman talked about this in his Employee Equity post: http://blog.samaltman.com/employee-equity . "The idea is to grant options that are exercisable for 10 years from the grant…

This is great. I especially love that candidates are given a choice, so if they prefer the traditional technical interview they can choose that. Normalizing performance between the…

So you're running all the containers on the initrd kernel?

While I like the approach of attempting to derive a moral framework axiomatically, the resulting philosophy experiences one of the main pitfalls that burdens authoritarian Leninism…

My favorite part of this is that it reduces the n*m engineers-to-employers search problem to an n+m problem (to an extent). Right now, engineers search through many companies to fi…

If you'd like to try the extension, the README has an overview. However, if you don't want to peruse the code before trusting the extension with your private key, you can create a …

I'm privileged to be working with Jessica on a contract right now. She's not only the smartest person I've ever worked with, but she manages to elevate people to a level of ability…

Carl Zimmer published a piece on this in the NYTimes almost a year ago ( http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/05/science/young-blood-may-ho... ). Here's the HN thread on that topic: http…

This isn't _really_ news. It's been known for a while that cells can be made "immortal" by repairing telomeres [0]. In fact, for stem cells and cancer cells to keep their immortal …
