It's at the bottom of the settings menu - click the little Overcast logo in the top left and scroll down.

(Just went through this exercise to find it last week)

Freedom (TM) is the sequel, and the author (Daniel Suarez) has a few other near-term what-if-this-all-goes-skynet books which are equally good.

You can setup custom emojis in Slack!

Rackspace has been a publicly traded company for a while now, and launched in 1998. They are way bigger than Digital Ocean.

I read (I can't remember where) that Fairfax was $250 million of that $1bn new convertible debt

Not to mention that she paid for it herself.

> I only read this news because it was posed here -- no email notification

There was an email notification a few days ago.

Uneditreddit?

Rackspace's goal is to kill the patents. The people can move on, but the would need new IP.

Could I talk you into sharing that list?

I have been thinking I should be more proactive with my congresscritters. It seems I am always sending reactive messages.

The followup is also fantastic: "11 More Things I Learned From the jQuery Source": http://paulirish.com/2011/11-more-things-i-learned-from-the-...

You are right on that citation. Awesome, awesome book that really opened my eyes (as a 24 year old) as to just how far things had come.

I have seen a few knife groups using this exact same reasoning - I think it just gets heard less because the firearm part of the "arms" is the hot national topic, and Congress has made very few laws that limit knives/other arms - most of those are state laws.

>I fail to see the non-weapon use for a knife that is small (and therefore concealable) and also opens quickly

I am an Eagle scout. Being able to quickly pull a knife out and open it one handed, due to it being assisted opening and small enough to clip into my pocket, has been beneficial more time than I can count.

I have had a knife in my pocket nearly every day since high school. I have used it thousands of times in that time period. I never once used it as a weapon.

> clearly intended to be used as weapons

Knives are horrible, horrible weapons.

These are clearly NOT intended to be used as weapons, as they are normal, everyday lock-back knives. Knives intended to be weapons, such as those modeled after the Krambit design, are fairly rare in public, especially among people who use knives (their shape and features make them much less useful). Your outrage is misplaced - we are not having a weapon talk.

Google not allowing ads for something that is legal is bullshit. Them not allowing ads for some people, but allowing them for others, over the same product, is evil.

>"For the record I have been the plaintiff in a case like this, where an employee decided to blackmail me ..."

I bet he meant employee.

You are honestly making a case that someone did ANYTHING that resembled research, and still didn't figure out that they made their chief competitor, who is currently doing far better than them?

Sorry, I just can't make that leap. The SERP for 'Automattic' is all that should have been required to move on.

I think he is referring to the annual number - why that exact amount?

I, for one, am VERY excited to see the todo features that he hinted at in the article. Evernote is fantastic, and I'm not sure it would be a main todo system, but if there is an area it has been lacking, it is in the handling of todos.

And it usually runs out sometime around 3

3. Motorola tried this EXACT play with the Atrix, and it was a disaster.

Also, syncing things is not as much of a headache anymore - circa 2006/7/8, this is a great idea. In the time of Dropbox, GMail, Netflix, and Github, there is no pain pushing me away from just using 4-6 different devices. I have not run into the "I need a file but it is only on my laptop which is 50 miles away" issue in several years now.

Also, seeing what a MASSIVE flop the Moto Atrix was (which was this exact idea, to a T - at least it was in the demo at CES), I have little hope of seeing this work. If a top-5 phone company fails at it, why should I think a crowdfunded version should do any better?

In the Wired article, they mention that they were able to reproduce it. It seems that is their policy, and in my opinion, that policy is the mistake. There should be no easy way to end-run user defined security like this - Mat could have the most secure account in the world, doing everything right, and this still would have gotten him hacked. That is a problem, and a big one.

The new outlook.com also does not respect the RFC in this case, which I thought was especially funny.

I just want to point out that those were done by two different groups - the commercial was from TestPAC, a PAC started and run on Reddit. They also put up a billboard. Fight for the Future is separate. The thread you linked to on reddit was a post by Andy Posterick, Treasure of TestPAC

(Disclaimer: I helped do the TestPAC billboard and commercial as an officer in the PAC)

Cue puts smarts behind all that data.

Case in point: this last Wednesday, I had a going away dinner for a friend. This was put on my GCal. This came via a Facebook message. Without me doing anything, it put 2+2 together. When I opened Cue that morning, there was the event, with a link to the message.

When I fly in August, it knows enough to put all my travel info (passes, emails, events, etc) together in the same way.

Search is still there, and it still rocks. The added AI on top of that makes this killer - I would have used Greplin to surface that data, but Cue was smart enough to do it for me. It's solving a roughly analogous problem, but doing it in a much smarter, faster way.

Apple seems to have moved away from disallowing apps for "duplicate core functionality" - we have GVoice, Sparrow, Camera+ now. I don't see how they could not allow it.

Boo. Did not see that, mea culpa. I figured they were going the NCAA March Madness route, which was basically awesome.

Looks like NBC is going to stream it all: http://www.nbcolympics.com/video/

I always loved Instapaper, but the single focus killed it for me. Pocket, which looks just as pretty (if not more so - the colors do add a lot), can also handle other types of media.

I would end up with about 10 videos on Pinboard, a handful of presentations, and a dozen articles by the end of a week. Pocket can handle all those. Instapaper meant I needed other services to fully capture all the media I wanted to deal with.

Easy choice.
