The conspiracy theorist in me says this is someone at Docker looking for competition.

This is awesome. Who cares that it's a little cumbersome - it works!

On a more national scale, could something like this be done for Congress? C-SPAN already does most of the hard work of filming and uploading to the web, so perhaps it won't be too difficult. I think it would certainly attract a lot of interest... maybe I'll give it a go.

Boston has a very strong biking culture, partly due to the large number of university students there.

Is a sustained lack of oversight (from Congress, or anyone else) a necessary part of this compromise?

It says my Facebook account is "too new" to get Stellars.... I've had it for over 3 months. What's the reasoning?

If you graph "republicans" and "democrats", the graphs are almost identical.

If you're in the browser, you can also paste into the address bar... (ctrl-L ctrl-v ctrl-a ctrl-c)

I thought it was interesting. I imagine that the people who voted it to the front page thought so too.

I don't know, I'm gay, and when I see a picture of Benedict Cumberbatch or Robert Downey Jr, I certainly don't think "Damn, he's accomplished and brilliant"; I think "Damn, he's hot!"

Only if that gene happens to be on the sex chromosomes! There are 22 other chromosomes, though.

I'm no biologist, but I believe you are referring to sex-linked traits. Hemophilia is the most studied example, but there are many (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_linkage#X-linked_recessive_...). In these disorders, males with the gene will always get the disease, where as women can act as "carriers", carrying the trait for the gene on one of their X chromosomes, but not experiencing any of the symptoms of the disorder.

Unfortunately for your theory, this interesting phenomenon has little to do with other genes. There is no magic link between separate chromosomes, and almost all of our important traits lie on the 22 other chromosomes, which do not experience this sex-linkage.

Really?

The Whois lookup of filecoin.io gives the name "Juan Batiz-Benet", so this isn't very anonymous.

Just as an alternative, the NYPL (which is the New York City public library system) allows you to get a library card, and browse from their online ebook collection, as long as you are a resident of New York state. It's a bit of an annoying process, but their large selection makes it worth it.

You're saying that lawyers and politicians provide little or no value to others? Don't democracy and a fair legal system require good lawyers and politicians?

This game is frequently a part of Legend Of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (in the Ocean Temple). It's cool that you've made it a standalone game.

Thanks. Sometimes I miss that kind of stuff because the image is cached on my compu. I'll fix that in the next release.

Thanks.

To use something like Twilio, you'd have to pay. It's not immediately apparent, but this operates entirely for free, using the 'email to SMS' bridge that all major carriers already have. At some point I'll open-source it, but essentially, it just replies to emails using SMTP.

I was suspicious when you claimed they copied you guys, but it's hard to see how they didn't. Wow.

For many people, the "useless" composite video RCA is what allows them to use the Pi. It's a great way to repurpose an old TV you have laying around.

Are you sure? I've seen waivers and "individual consent" forms that can supposedly release your health records.

How does this compare to Bloomberg?

From what I've seen, people in the financial services industry have gotten very good at using the Bloomberg Terminal commands to examine this kind of data.

The price limit in the App Store is $999. I wonder why they chose $99, and not something higher.

I have been thinking about something like this for about a year now...you've done an excellent job! Good luck!

I think, in this context, "beginners" refers to new Python programmers who want to use Python to build a web app.

After all, the site's intro clearly states, "You're knee deep in learning the Python programming language...Now you want to take your initial Python knowledge and make something real. A real web application that's available on the web"

"the segregation was in accordance with IeSF tournament regulations and was to 'avoid possible conflicts (e.g. a female player eliminating a male player during RO8 [round of eight]) among other things.'"

What makes that a 'possible conflict'?

"goal-oriented people exist in a state of nearly continuous failure"

Is that bad? Perhaps it's okay to fail a lot; for some, it may push them to work harder.

By citing "low consequences", are you asserting that giving harsher punishments to teenagers would 'correct' their behavior?

Making video editing (even just the basics of it) even somewhat simple is a challenging problem. Props to you guys!

I noticed a "Pat. pend." on your page... care to explain what part of this you are patenting?

For me, when I was starting out with this stuff (and by the way, I'm not an expert now), I learned one lesson the hard way:

Just pick something.

It honestly doesn't matter what, you just have to choose something. There is so much time to be wasted agonizing over whether you have chosen the right framework, tool, platform etc. The best strategy is to just choose something and run with it. Once you learn and feel comfortable in one language/area (for me it was python), you'll be able to transition easier.

Perhaps this strategy will take more time than if you pick the "correct" path now... I really didn't see time as a consideration when I learned. Nevertheless, it's probably better than spending time dillydallying. Good luck!
