Super simple, really like it.

Reminded me of thatgamecompany's games (Flower, Journey) and how they make a simple experience/world you join for imaginative moments.

This was mentioned by another poster, but I don't see many people addressing it.

What about elderly or disabled people who require car/bus transport to live their daily lives? Are there transportation alternatives for those that can't walk as easily?

I'm not saying this can't work with them, but I'm curious what those options would be. Especially if their neighborhood just becomes one of these superblocks (rather than them deciding to live there).

ug sorry about the pay wall - if you visit through google it's open: https://www.google.com/#q=are-you-the-family-tech-support-14...

You start by saying "success is not related with money" and finish by implying that more people listen to Bill Gates because of his money than his other accomplishments. There are plenty of super wealthy people out there we don't listen to much at all (for example, I don't think I've ever heard someone quote one of the Waltons...) but Bill Gates has done a tremendous amount with his wealth - and even more importantly - his time, which is what I listen to him about.

most of those probably tack on an "until..."

Why no Ruby results?

oh great, thanks for the link - being able to tweak the config is much better, although I'm not sure I'd want a mobile app for this

I tend to think it's a good thing that I don't actually know my bank passwords - a password manager is much simpler. Having strong passwords for all different banks is a piece of cake when you don't have to remember them.

I think your explanation about why the twitter crusade feels so despicable is right on, dsacco and Thomas. Yet I'm struggling with why I (and much of the tech community) was OK and frankly downright gleeful at publicizing the Hacking Team hack - their data was exposed illegally and were engaged in immoral behavior re: working with various abusive governments (and had previously denied these facts). If I'm OK with people losing their right to privacy when they violate my moral sense, then am I much better...?

yeah, great example, that could also help define the scope - in what ways does the excel feature solve the problem and it what ways does it need to be expanded for code specific issues?

We use chef currently but some of the new devops team have more experience with puppet, so looking for suggestions about how much success people are having with either (or others).

Fantastic! I had been looking for this kind of overview of basic recommendation systems for the past few months, and this is the first time I've seen so much understandable yet really helpful information in one place. If anyone else knows of similar kinds of articles, I'd appreciate suggestions.

I find the discussion of their model much more interesting than the results: http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/nate-silvers-ncaa-basket...

a common sense suggestion, thank you.

Maybe MMM site is a good place for it, maybe not - but the idea sounds great - to have a place where people can submit info about when this happens to them as well to publicize and share advice.

No, that doesn't make sense.

If it is considered wrong/unethical to film on private property in Idaho - why would they legislate for a specific industry? Shouldn't filming video on private property be illegal all across the board in Idaho if the problem is about basic rights?

agreed, very premature - I hope it goes well but they may encounter the same problems OP had

I had heard about the site but didn't really grasp what they were trying to do until that quote "think group blogging meets podcasting" and trying the site

this is fantastic, it's a metaphorical-ish translation from Hebrew into perl... would want to see something like this in English as well

If so, let me know which one and how they were please. Also, do they offer any kind of job networking or help firm's recruiting with their students? Thanks.

Agree that it's not just celebrity - it's also campaign on Kickstarter. He's not offering as many obvious reward tiers (download, DVD) which are more tempting for backers which Veronica Mars did have.

True, but the smaller ones look like they generated a crap-ton of money:

Pledge $35 x 22997 backers - digital download

Pledge $50 x 23227 backers - dvd

Braff's project isn't offering these pledge rewards, a decision he seems to be OK with for distribution but would probably generate TONS of backers.

not knocking all the great stuff YC does, but the analysis here seems to assume that none of these companies/jobs would have been created otherwise, which sounds incredibly far fetched.

phew. it sounds like it is finally over.

What's shocking to me about this twisted story so far is the seeming brazenness of the suspects, robbing a 7/11, moving openly through several neighborhoods, and most crazily, one "got back into the S.U.V., turned it toward officers and 'put the pedal to the metal.' The car 'went right through the cops, broke right through and continued west.'”

> And I want Apple to decide that — not another company that takes (large) kickbacks from app developers [...] I want Apple to be ultimately responsible for my app marketplace experience.

Yes, that line bugged me as well. Forgetting about AppGratis (because I don't know enough about their business) how do you as a consumer just know that the store owner must be better at curating/rating items for you than a third party who's job that is?

This is exactly what I was thinking --- is it really that helpful to see a long list of what your friend watched? I think being able to live chat/talk/connect DURING or before/after an actual show would be much more "social".

You guys are probably right about the value of this app in a restaurant especially vs. cash or asking servers to split the bill---

however, I think there's a less obvious value for this tool in offices, for example, where people split gifts or cakes or lottery ante-ups together... not everyone might be physically in the office on a given particular day, etc...

uh, edit: haven't looked into Venmo, doing so now

downloading it now. the video looked good.

great idea - super simple and mirrors the fun kids have with the real thing - except they won't lose the pieces.

As someone who has not used Answers, could you explain a bit more about what (if anything) differentiated it from Quora or StackExchange?
