Want to see if you doctor has been taking money from pharma for meals/consulting/speaking/etc? Look them up in ProPublica's Dollars for Docs: https://projects.propublica.org/docdollars/

ProPublica reporter/developer here.. There's a tool embedded in the article to see if your carrier is setting a tracking header.

We also published a follow-up about how AT&T has said they will stop using the header: http://www.propublica.org/article/att-stops-using-undeletabl...

If anyone is curious, the tool we wrote for rendering raster map tiles on the fly for this project is open source: http://www.propublica.org/nerds/item/announcing-raster-suppo...

We've already got TweetFTP: https://github.com/NYTimes/tweetftp

They also removed the statement on their developer site (https://www.healthcare.gov/developers/) that "EVERYTHING we do will be published on Github." Here's a screenshot of the cached version: http://cl.ly/image/0f0R2x2l0w1t

Actually they didn't: https://twitter.com/bizweekdesign/status/121871973688160256 and https://twitter.com/bizweekdesign/status/121918276459696129

Yep!

I was also at the TimesOpen Hack day, and spent most of the day coding. There was a lot of chatter there, though (some of it contributed to what my app eventually became). Bring headphones for when you need to start building. Thankfully no one there presented deckware.

I didn't say steal the code, I said steal the design. I didn't need to look at the actual source to make that distinction.

Also, looks like they ripped the design directly from http://newyork.usehipster.com/

I'd love to. Ping me at the address in the blog footer.

It can handle whatever you put into it, but obviously won't be able to diff them.

Isn't git, by default, federated in that you can add any remote source you want and merge/pull/push it? Callbacks seem like icing there.

StackOverflow is the only one that comes to mind.

You get something similar to this with the bit.ly sidebar bookmarklet. When you shorten a URL, it tells you how many clicks there have been on all bit.ly-shortened links for that URL. I always check out this number, and if a link has over a certain amount of clicks, I usually won't tweet.

There's a flickr group devoted to this: The Items We Carry http://www.flickr.com/groups/theitemswecarry/pool/

What new features would you want? I still use Tiger on my primary machine and haven't missed much (outside of performance boosts) in the subsequent releases.

How is this a hack (outside of the physical manipulation of the SIM)? Wasn't a big selling point of the iPad 3G that it is "unlocked."

your contact list doesn't matter? it was leaked via buzz.

Another reason you should fetch and merge, not pull!

Read the Rails Guides (http://guides.rubyonrails.org/) and check out the Rails from Scratch series on Peepcode (http://peepcode.com/products/rails-from-scratch-part-i) -- they both got me up to speed pretty quickly.

One thing that struck me as weird was-- after the spiel about the site being private (between 'you and you'), it asks you to sign in via facebook.

I ran into a bug like this with rails and restful_authentication. It came from caching the logged in user through the session. I fixed it by using a cookie to store the logged in user instead. Here's the issue: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/145169/inadvertent-sessio...

works for me on 10.5.7/Safari

yea, with all these NDA posts I thought it would be appropriate to dredge up again.

eerie premonition:

  We'd all feel better about shelling out the bucks
  for a Power Mac 9600 if we could get a tower with leopard spots.

you said this is written in PHP -- if you don't have access to your php.ini file, you can put

  error_reporting(0);

at the top of the script to prevent warnings from showing up to the user.
