A lot easier now without all the crazy tubing I'm sure.

It's an incredibly popular place for startups and to work remotely. By far one of the most popular places I know. It's affordable, great international scene, decent internet, and large community. Still, I'm a bit tired of how many people I know move there to work remotely.

I imagine a future where we will be able to track everything we eat automatically without having to enter any data in onto an app. Imagine seeing data about your body right on your arm. I eat a sandwich and it tells me exactly how many calories it was. I'll be the first to signup for something like this if/when this comes out.

Thank you for sharing your story. Congrats on your success. These monthly subscription packages seem to be very in right now.

I wish this was available last year. I used Uber for my wedding in DC and got something like 10 cars at a time two times. Turned out fine and everybody loved it. They felt very VIP with the SUV's. We tried to work with Uber on organizing this but didn't seem interested. Luckily everything went well.

It kills me when I say title tags on the front page as Home. I shared this one Facebook and it comes up as Home as the title: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2kw9fie59eg6m2w/Screenshot%202014-...

"and though the missiles have been upgraded numerous times to make them safer and more reliable"

A strange sentence for nuclear missiles.

I was thinking the same thing. Has XKCD predicted the future again?

The solution to this: penalize sites for 3-6 months regardless of how big or small they are. I see far too often big sites getting a small slap on the hand then get fixed up real fast back to where they were before. They gain much more out of it by doing blackhat SEO and risking becoming penalized for a few days. Most sites I've seen get penalized go right back to selling and buying links not long after they've been fixed up.

I'm sorry but you are incredibly misinformed. As someone that has sold sponsored posts for a very long time with some of the biggest websites on the internet, I can confirm to you that it is happening at a much larger scale than you can ever imagine. For those that know, this story is not really news and has been going on for several years. Google has indeed been fighting spam and has done a decent job at it but in many cases the smaller sites are the ones affected the most and the big name sites get away with it.

"We don't know if these tactics are even working." They are working. Google is catching up but it's still FAR from being ahead in fighting these blackhat SEO practices. What you mean is that Google WON'T be saying "these guys are right, we favor big sites" but the reality is they do.

I made a fairly large comment on here with the last report. Many of the comments said "show me proof!" which then I came along and did just that. Matt Cutts reached out to me shortly after and I forwarded over emails received from Expedia. The funny thing is, a few weeks after that I STILL got emails from Expedia BUT it wasn't from Expedia.com. "Only Expedia.com was affected so we're still going to sell links for Expedia.co.uk". It amazes me sometimes how blind everyone is about this.

ThoughtBot did something similar with a Arduino. http://robots.thoughtbot.com/arduino-sensor-network

They had done a podcast episode as well on this although I can't remember which episode that was.

I'm having the same issue. I can't start it. Edit: Keep refreshing the page to get it to load.

Nice looking UI and very easy to use. Just signed up. Can't imagine I'll remember to check this site often, will there be any email notifications?

Perhaps http://html5doctor.com?

I never really know what to do during negotiation time. During the first interview, I'm usually asked how much. I'm told that I should always try to push it back for the other person to make the first offer. However in matter how hard I try, they demand that I make the first offer. I don't want to aim too high or too low in fear that I'd lose out on the opportunity.

Hey jzone. Looks like I may have been too late to get him a ticket. Has the event really sold out? Will there be any other opportunities to get a ticket? I'd love for him to check this out. Looks like a really great hackathon.

This is hilarious! I think I might actually be doing better than the numbered version. Great creative work!

Thank you so much for posting this. Sent this to my brother who is in high school. I wish this stuff was around when I was in high school.

Big fan of Soulseek here as well. As someone else mentioned, the community is fantastic and the rare track and mixes they have is great.

I find it amazing that the early 2000's boom of Napster, Kazaa, Audiogalaxy, etc are now all gone. I don't know a single person that downloads music illegally but ten years ago that's what everyone did. The rise of iTunes, Songza, Pandora, Last.fm, and so many others is proof of the industry adapting to itself and doing it fantastically well. If only Hollywood would adapt and see it the same way.

I hate that I just saw the comments for that article.

How experienced were you before you started? Have you coded before? Any reason you're not open sourcing your code? Seems like it'd be a great idea considering you're still learning and could use some feedback from others. Great job btw. Never heard of Phaser but now looking into it.

I for one am super excited for Amtrak and what this will mean for the travel industry. As a travel blogger that has been in the industry for a long time, I've worked with several brands that have no idea what to do with "new media". This is setting a fantastic example for other brands that will hopefully catch on.

Is it bad that I can still remember my 7 digit ICQ number? It's probably been over 14 years since I've used it. I use to judge everyone that used AIM but eventually I switched over to AIM because all my friends in school had AIM.

That would explain why I'm getting a massive amount of tickets from my clients why their site is down.

Personally I prefer Voxer. The requirement of having a phone number on WhatsApp doesn't work for me. I'm constantly traveling and and using different SIM cards in different countries. I'd rather have a single sign-on that doesn't require having to use any phone number.

Interesting that they contacted Yoast for SEO advice.

GOG has been pulling off some fantastic marketing lately. Good for them.

Sometime last year I was on HostGator's VPS and WP Engine for several different sites. I was paying around $150 a month. HostGator started to shut me down for using too many resources and I was going way over the limit with WP Engine's 100k limit. I was fed up so I looked into Digital Ocean. I knew a bit server management but never really wanted to deal with it. I just wanted to produce content and make apps.

I purchased the $40/m plan on DO and started to move my sites over. In the process I learned a whole lot about configuring my own server. I got a pretty impressive setup going now and monitor it on New Relic. It really only took me a few weeks to learn everything and get all my sites stable. It's been several months now and have had to hardly ever login to my server to touch anything. Initially I was worried that I'd have to manage my sites and it'd suck up some of my time but really I'm actually saving time because I don't have to deal with HostGator or going over the limit with WP Engine. I'm saving $110 a month, I learned a whole lot in the process, and it really did not take much time to learn nor is it much of a maintenance at all to run.

Ohhh. Well done! Already sending this to a bunch of writers in my group. This would be killer as a WordPress plugin.
