Shipping in June is not exactly 'here'. Come back when independent people can verify and reproduce the software it is running.

Open sourcing "vast majority of its code" is not good enough -- this thing is selling security and if you can't rebuild it all yourself there's really no point.

You can already do this here - https://www.imperialviolet.org:1266/

On OSX Firefox and Chrome fail and Safari happily loads it. Yay for not using system crypto libraries.

I would also include Walking in that list. But I may as well expand that and recommend all of his essays.

Interesting, but not really HN material.

You cannot really believe that a few posts on HN, whether they are positive or negative, really are a good indicator of Coinbase's reputation, can you? Anyone can post anything and the more negative it looks the more people upvote it. Upvotes do not correlate to truth or accuracy.

For example if I were to post that I have used Coinbase multiple times with no problems I wouldn't expect to see a single upvote. It isn't news.

Time to stop these posts. This isn't coinbase support and it isn't a forum to air your problems.

Lack of proper respect for the laws of physics.

When working locally you can do something similar with -U<n> and I've also found using --patience can sometimes generate cleaner patches.

Manufacturers need to do a better job making these appliances easier for consumers to keep updated. And this isn't just a problem with Linux, it is a problem with the designs being fire and forget.

From the 23andme TOS:

"You should not change your health behaviors solely on the basis of information from 23andMe. Make sure to discuss your Genetic Information with a physician or other health care provider before you act upon the Genetic Information resulting from 23andMe Services. For most common diseases, the genes we know about are only responsible for a small fraction of the risk. There may be unknown genes, environmental factors, or lifestyle choices that are far more important predictors. If your data indicate that you are not at elevated genetic risk for a particular disease or condition, you should not feel that you are protected. The opposite is also true; if your data indicate you are at an elevated genetic risk for a particular disease or condition, it does not mean you will definitively develop the disease or condition. In either case, if you have concerns or questions about what you learn through 23andMe, you should contact your physician or other health care provider."

They may want to rethink their name, when you say Notch most people respond with Minecraft.

I would expect it to show up here eventually:

Use a different keyboard. Seriously, I've had to take mine in 3 times now because the keys keep breaking their hooks and flopping around. Right now my 6 key is feeling like it is about to go.

* You need to describe how it actually works. Describe the network protocol well enough that someone can re-implement it in their own favorite language.

* Your license sucks. Restricting modified code from connecting to the network tells me that your network protocol is fragile and exploitable

* How is your system better than Tor and a hidden service?

Some more background on this - http://seattletimes.com/html/latestnews/2022269628_spdwirele...

"But the ACLU has criticized the city for purchasing and employing technology, as well as an array of waterfront security cameras and unmanned aerial drones, without first holding public hearings and drafting policies on how to govern the devices."

They are referring to ... "including the controversial Homeland Security-run Fusion Center," -- http://fixyt.com/watch?v=jgZzRrTo5r8

Referer links are generally frowned upon.

Anecdotal data-point: a few years ago I rescued the data off my 3.5" floppies from the early 90's (IBM PC and Atari ST formats) and they all seemed to be fine.

I don't have any hardware to read my pile to 5.25 Atari 800 disks.

I prefer using pylint in a pre-commit hook so that I can catch problems before pushing them.

Where is the source? The taxpayers are paying their room and board, this software should be freely available on github.

Might even help with the auditing process.

Red Hat. And we're hiring: http://jobs.redhat.com/

Where's the teardown of one of these devices? I'm not going to believe it until I actually see some evidence of it from a reliable source.

And then only if you opt-in for the site.

I lost interest in maintaining it so I dropped it from the store.

Works fine. I used to have an app in the store that did this (SharePics).

HN is not http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/

Same experience here. In one case where there were missing components from a 3rd party order the Amazon rep. sat on the phone with me as I picked out individual replacements which they shipped to me at no extra cost.

Not really. Here is Cliff Mass' response:

http://www.internetpulse.net/ and http://traceroute.org/ are two sites I used in addition to the usual unix tools like traceroute.
