Seems like Github might be affected as well? Can't comment or merge PRs.

I'm pretty disappointed in the numbers they chose for a vegetarian diet. It feels to me as if they actively went ahead and picked to lowest values they could find in their source. (Btw the source itself is a good read imo: http://www.drawdown.org/solutions/food/plant-rich-diet)

You could argue that people are not willing to go vegetarian or even vegan - but at least level the numbers when comparing it with other solutions: If everyone would go vegetarian, their source states 132 gigatons of CO2 reductions.

I also liked this quote from the report:

> As Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh has said, making the transition to a plant-based diet may be the most effective way an individual can stop climate change.

The exact same thing happened to me. In my case I still had a t2 instance running and was billed ~15$ a month. Eventually I shut down the instance over ssh, but that didn't change the overall situation.

I was studying in Germany at the time and access to a notary public costs about 40$ USD there. I asked the AWS support on the phone if letting the payments bounce would suspend my account which they confirmed.

Unfortunately every time I disputed the payment with my bank, AWS send me a physical copy of their terms and my billing address as a proof of contract and my bank would process their payment. Eventually, 3 months in, my credit card expired anyway, solving at least that part.

They still tried to charge me for about 6 months afterwards, but I haven't heard back from them since. Interestingly, I opened a second account, with the exact same billing address, but a different credit card without problem. But I don't really use AWS anymore since then.

I totally believe that they (AWS) just stuck to their process, which was enacted in good faith. But switching my phone number should have not caused that entire fiasco.

I guess no more meetings for me then...

Thank you, I didn't know about those projects.

I would love to have something similar as open source software. How can I trust this device if I can't examine the code used for hotword recognition?

Also, it would be great to be able to put the software on different hardware - something with digital audio output for example. The concept of Alexa is amazing, but distributing it as properitary software limits its potential.

All good then ;)

I know he gave credit in the README, but why does this ~30 line shell script need its own repo? Seems more like a cheap grab for Github Stars rather than to provide actual value.

Edit: Even the screenshot is from Paul...

This. I'm a big fan of Github, but it bothers me that this single service is the centerpiece of most OSS projects. We see it every time Github goes down and virtually nobody can be productive anymore. I hope to see a version control system on top of IPFS some day.

Out of PureScript, Elm, Haste and GHCJS, I like PureScript the most. What sold me on this language was the JS output after compilation - PureScript doesn't translate a huge runtime to JS (like the other options), it will only include the code which is actually needed.

Another advantage of PureScript: The foreign function interface is ridiculously easy to use.

I'm still new to FP, but I like how PureScript solved this problem by having an Effect Monad: http://www.purescript.org/learn/eff/
