I think there's a much simpler and less juicy angle here: someone posted a screenshot of an internal communication , and it got removed. It's not surprising or controversial that Twitter would try to contain a leak of its own i

But if they are abusing other people, you'd care, and intervention would be justified? Is that not imposing your dogma on them?

The most ridiculous example of this is Tesla's offering of in-app Autopilot upgrades. At $10k, imagine what Apple's cut is, for absolutely no value added.

I have a problem with his assertion that Tesla will be the first company to market with a significant "autopilot". You can go out today and buy a car from Honda that will autonomously turn the steering wheel to stay within lanes a

if you've never bought anything from target, then you're definitely not in the set of "right people" for this program. it goes without saying that the key to success here is logistical optimization, and big-box stores are the easiest place

No government pleases everyone and no government is perfect. However, from someone who has been a citizen of both Austin, San Francisco, and other cities, Texas/Austin, despite some shortcomings, is to me clearly the less dysfunctional gove

Do you know why? Is there just too many sprites for a modern browser to handle?

That's my thinking. Not to belittle the accomplishment here, but I would bet the hardest part is the art and design - something easy to 'borrow' from an existing game. I hope he is using the C&C art as a placeholder until he can master

I've always wondered when we'd get a browser based RTS that doesn't require some silly plugin. (maybe one exists?) This is a nice start, but will probably get shot down as soon as it becomes noticed by the powers that be at EA (or whoever o

assuming their servers can even handle the load. seems like it takes 30+ mins to sell out (what normally would have sold out in 2) since they can't seem to figure out the scaling problem.

It's like registering for Google I/O - we would all LOVE to throw hundreds of dollars at Google for one of their products, but for whatever reason, we can't.

I was kind of hoping craigslist was cooking up something awesome, and waiting for the product to be fully polished and "magical, revolutionary" before launching it. unfortunately, this just feels like they rushed out of the door with the fi

A tip for anyone trying to view this on a smartphone: If I load the page on my Android phone with the stock gingerbread browser in portrait, I get what I can only guess is the desktop page. If I load it in landscape, I get the tablet page a

Wanting to prevent campaigns that will end in failure due to "stupidity", or even people who "got in over their heads" is just as valid as wanting to prevent fraud. Kickstarter's image/brand will be hurt by poorly executed campaigns that fa
