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 else pays for the content, you are the inventory. Yes, ad b

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 disk, and journaling for writes (allowing us to sync them

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 content is only encrypted to your dev

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 about roadblocks (thank you for asking!): For one, we use

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 power/granularity you'll

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 user. Can this be enabled?

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 all its problems. I think most people can agree that sex tr

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 in the wild. Such power!

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 incredibly high pressure.

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 _kinetic_ energy in the 120GJ figure, in which case 0 is the

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 length contraction can be derived from simply know

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 two interview types will be challenging, but I think the be

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: it fails to motivate independent agents within the system

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 find a job, and companies search through many engineers to fil

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 test Keybase.io account and try it out with that.

Why not just create a plugin for Jetbrains' IDEA platform? Unless you're building a featureset that isn't supported, but that doesn't appear to be the case here. It would be much cheaper to build, and you'd get the
