What about being arrested for filming the police and getting your dog shot dead after getting out of the car and lunging at an officer?

The most frustrating thing about reading about exciting discoveries is how few of them ever go into 'production' in the near future.

-Graphene

-AIDS vaccine

-Malaria vaccine

-Fusion reactors

This sounds similar to something I read about the process at Shopify.

Even more interesting is moving from running 7miles to pi miles

This would never have happened in Kenya where the Children's Act expressly forbids homosexuals from adopting. Sad.

I read the article because I found the ingenuity of fabricating their own weapons interesting.

It has nothing to do with their ideology of beliefs.

This is a good move.

Unfortunately this may not end polio just yet.

Here in Kenya there has been several polio cases all which have been traced to unstable countries like Somalia where there is no effective government. This will however make it easier to carry out vaccinations even in unstable countries.

Security by obscurity. It is trivial to use a port scanner to discover open ports(including your "new" ssh port).

I hope this will reduce incidents like these[0].

My fear is that it might be too little too late.

How common are the three apps? There would be a market if they are pretty common.

So would you rather piss off those on small screens, or go the responsive route even if it is not optimal for the small screen.

I always wonder how long it will take for tablets and phones to be so ubiquitous that this debate will become moot and you target mobile from the get-go?

I had to check whether today is April 1.

I went to college (here in Kenya) with two sisters whose family had a history of suicide. Both committed suicide after they had graduated.

The sad thing is that people rarely talk about mental health issues[1].

There is also a shortage of psychiatrists and when they are found most people cannot afford them.

If the request is made by a web page from a different server it would ordinarily be rejected because of the same origin policy.

Using CORS allows you to specify which servers you can accept requests from unless of course you are using ; Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *

Like most start-ups the established players underestimated the capacity of the new kid on the block to eat their lunch[1].

By the time banks ganged together to lobby against the service it was too late [2].

The only way I can know that the code is boilerplate and "nobody should have to read it anyway" is by reading it.

Why make me scroll horizontally?

The Other Side of the Story

I cannot help but salivate at the dense links connecting US/Europe and US/Asia.

Here in Kenya we only have 3 cables. Since last week the internet has been very slow after the main cable was severed by a ship anchor. The second cable seemed to have problems upstream so all the traffic has been routed to the third cable.

>Should i elaborate further?

Yes. What is the url of the financial statements site?

I wonder what they mean by "AWS GovCloud is physically and logically accessible by U.S. persons only"?

"The far-right Action Française newspaper blamed the Jews"

Looks like prejudice is as old as humanity itself!

Here in Kenya we pay between Kshs 1-2 per message to send.

Receiving is free.

Considering that the exchange rate is Kshs 80 to 1$ a message is about 1.25 to 2.50 cents.

Yep. Two weeks ago I bought a cheap Huawei Ideos running Froyo at about $100 here in Kenya.

Testing Android apps on a physical device beats using the emulator hands down.

His "data" is purely anecdotal since his sample is limited to those developers he has worked with. However it is possible that you can have many good immigrant developers and a disproportionately lower number who go ahead and found startups.

Not every developer wants to be a startup founder.

Why did you decide to use caps in the title?

She even says that she and her family has received threats!

What would make someone do that simply because the lady has started eating meat?

I liked the article's heading and thought it had been done using image replacement.

Turns out it is a font imported from Google's font directory called "IM Fell DW Pica".

Nice font especially for headings.
