What if you're a coder who has no interest in any of those things? Many people get into SaaS specifically so they don't have to work with bureaucracies any more. Book publishing can sometimes be alternative, but what if your code

It seems like they're using cursor tracking to validate human-ness. Assuming thats the case: Since the cursor is outside of javascript's control, it would force the attacker one level higher (to the browser/os, instead of the

I think a better way to look at it is "information addiction" or "social snooping addiction". "Internet addiction" is a silly concept, because the internet is merely the medium. Its like referring to gambling a

> we've traditionally done for free I don't have stats, but my guess is that most people don't carpool. So traditionally we haven't done it at all.

Very cool. Do you have any information about pushes other than the content of the push itself?

If you like (American) politics, Political Junkie and the Political Gabfest are both awesome.

This is excellent. Any chance we'll see an API? It would be cool to be able to use it as a micropay button on top of a microdonation button. Also a nitpick, the implication that things like this > aren’t possible with traditio

What kind of marketing did you do? It seems like a pretty reasonable idea but I can imagine it would require a heavy investment to get a sustaining userbase.

I think there's plenty of evidence that humans by nature are uninterested in "politics", except when it might effect them. Then it becomes an object of great importance. As for the role of the algorithm, I think its just an e

I find this explanation extremely hollow. Most programmers didn't start programming when they were kids. They started when they realized it was a good paycheck.

By that logic, this is a very expensive book. If it takes 6 hours to read fully it costs $600 + sticker price! Just because you get paid $100/hr doesnt mean you value your time at $100/hr. In fact in means that you value your time

I would suggest better explaining the birds-eye-view overall architecture of an app built on Nimbus. I don't really understand how any of this is supposed to work.
