Not sure how this story is breaking and unexpected. This is exactly the type and style of program that was expected right after 9/11. It's totally the NSA's playground and the co-operation and/or backdooring of major, co

CIA != NSA and I'd be pessimistic on the CIA funding projects for the NSA. They aren't the same org and they have reasons to not be, so they aren't all chummy. This reminded me of how ham-handed we should expect the media han

Wish he spent more time on meaningful work instead of retorting inflammatory web postings. He could have done two things in far shorter time. 1) Debunked the original article 2) Used the space to evangelize to others (while echoing the orig

Iiiiiiiiiii wanna beeeee anarchy. Sorry folks. We should have been well beyond the point of detached thought experiments about this. Change the power structures or change the power structures. They've gone too far in so many ways. Change fr

Yeah, but those are just questions on paper! They after me lucky charms! When you sign a legal form, especially tied to a business, you might want to consider the ramifications of how you complete the form. You probably should legal up pros

Pay bands. Loss of the love/age discrimination. Hours/screw your stress. Sorry... we don't understand what you do enough to warrant paying you 2x-3x what we pay the grads and we pay grads more than other starters. Pay the programmer more th

I need to underline that he throws video in like it's nothing. Sure, just for images without responsibility of 6-8 9's for peoples' treasured decade of photos, you can approach the price. I believe Imgur also has, even pro accounts, a 5MB l

He also said unlimited video.

So you want: - unlimited storage for a large collection of images - additional unlimited storage for an acceleratingly large archive of video - minimal local caching and, likely, very responsive UI - to do me the favor of profit at $5/mo I

Oh, as in FroontPage. Totally need this. Edit: Sorry for flippancy. I sense the challenge of the over-complete demo. Eventually, the design requires interfacing with developers who are then skewered for not getting it done as fast as the dr

I want to respectfully disparage your statement. Doubling zero is zero. Doubling a small amount is likely still a small amount. They need to sell somewhere like 10k units to make this effort worth repeating, let alone a profit model. That m

So, you just released a game after what was likely a big investment in heart, time, and money and you haven't pulled any money back out yet? Did you expect something different after such a short period of time? Also, you created a game that

The cynic in me says, "How Kaggle wastes the time of many talented individuals while enabling corporations to give the finger to their staff." I should start providing prizes for the best start-up. I'll give you a $20k prize and then turn a

Talk about putting up a shingle and calling yourself an exchange. The clamor from the crowd that they need to do better PR gets me chuckling the most. They are fairly transparent about their lack of technical expertise, hinting at major iss

How useful is a "currency" if it 1) has volatility like a penny stock and 2) raises the stakes on 0-day defense to something ridiculous? When I hear interviews where people (bitcoin founder) suggest that you don't transfer into bitcoins any

So, the disappointment is merely a naming problem that Apple baked for itself by starting/sticking to a numbering scheme when most device makers have an "internal" code and then there's the name that each carrier tacks on. The only time you

To give them the finger, because he knows that no matter what Apple delivers for their updated flagship, it will be 100% better than anything else out there in all respects. Anyone disappointed? THE FINGER!!! Samsung... 4?! That's 2 BEHIND

It's almost like there's an IRC channel devoted to dispatching those invested in the scheme to flood the online community consciousness with fanciful ideas of wealth and splendour.

So financial journalists have no idea how these things are made, used, or what place they have within transactions, economies, etc. and you expect masses of people to eventually feel comfortable with the stuff? The fear that is engendered b

Don't be so dramatic. From a usability perspective, it works enough. Also, interactivity is changing and themes are options. People don't hover or click with touch devices. Many UI concepts are in flux (again). Link? Button? Collapsible? Le

What is the opposite of FUD? Everything surrounding bitcoin screams pump and dump. Exponential growth curve. Seeding and pumping of bitcoin stories and comments... Cash your paper wins now folks. That's the fat lady singing the coda. It'll

The ramification of our current context on undesirable behavior is great, but daunting. The attraction of this issue by that many means it has great importance to that many people. This is the spark. To see mostly men try to defuse and take

Public shame is not a problem. Public shame is less about an individual and more about sharing expectations with a community. Shame on people who can't help but blurt out clumsy penis jokes in essentially tight quarters at a professional co

Is this because someone forgot to patent the cc feature of email? We've been doing similar point to multi-medium translation of messages for decades. Email to email+text pager for doctors in hospitals. Surely there's a strong prior art case
