Very cool, great work!

Not the same thing (since this isn't an API), but I like what balanced does: https://github.com/balanced/balanced-api

Nice writeup. The whole "your docs site is just on a different branch" has always been weird to me though. I'm not sure what a better way to do it would be but I don't like these two options: switch branches inline or have a separate clon

The network is powerful. Alums are generally connected through the mentors and program directors if they aren't in the same class (the cloud class has it's own alumni weekend where the classes got to know each other well).

The first 4 weeks is very intense on the business/market/sales plan side of things. It is hard to get work done, you have to squeeze it in whenever possible (night, weekends, etc). The idea is that you probably shouldn't do a ton of work

Awesome new stuff guys. Here is my wish list for 3.0: * Backend support (maybe via backbone+knockout) * Themes Thoughts?

A1: Yes, you can reference them by the carrier tracking number (although you could not void/modify a shipment that wasn't created by your carrier account). A2: Do those have a tracking number pre-printed? If so, yes. It will also work with

Maybe, but this is the case for any dead man's switch (even a bank/lawyer). It's always a balance between what the mob boss thinks he can get you to do vs the power of the dirt you have on him. Literature/TV have beaten to death the permut

Geez--no need to hate. This is a "cool demo" not a real service that I'm selling.

by m3ntat 14y ago
Agreed, trust is key for a service like this. Ideally the contents need to be secure, but not so secure that you are the only one who can read them--otherwise what's the point since you're probably abducted or dead?

by m3ntat 14y ago
Yeah that's kind of tongue-in-cheek. It's most likely not either of those at this point. I just threw some stuff up there that a service "might" say if it was for realz.

by m3ntat 14y ago
I totally agree. This isn't a "hey this is a service you should pay for" post, this is more of a "hey I built this in 17 hours at a hackathon, check it out". If it ever does become a service for real I'll need to do some work to secure it,

Well. If you happen to be going into a high-profile meeting with a mob boss and you happen to have incriminating documents about him, upload them to Deadman and hopefully you will get out alive. :) More seriously, I think the core technolo
