In 2007? Sure it was.

It was silly, sure. But it worked and it encouraged people to check-in AND leave reviews. All of the reviews (or "tips" how they call it) I left were the ones I left after checking-in. Splitting Foursquare into two apps was a mistake. Nearly all of my friends have Swarm installed but most haven't kept the Foursquare app around. The functionality worked great in unison.

Could work out fine as an upload-and-forget solution. I have a bunch of stuff I don't need to access often (if ever) and certainly don't want to keep local copies of. Currently using S3 and Glacier for that, but Cloud Drive might just fit the bill.

Misleading title. A good portion of tools listed are extremely popular.

> The engineer fixing the Azure Table storage performance issue believed that because the change had already been flighted on a portion of the production infrastructure for several weeks, enabling this across the infrastructure was low risk.

Ugh, I wouldn't want to be that guy (even if there would be no direct repercussions). That said, and as others have highlighted - kudos on the writeup and openness.

I've had way less issues with 10.10 previews than I've had with Mavericks or Mountain Lion ones. Those actually crippled my development environments. I've had zero issues with Yosemite thus far, apart from the new features breaking at some point (iCloud Drive and the like).

Yet it's a Mercurial repo. Not a big deal and I have nothing against Mercurial, but something that's marketed with "no dependencies" would be better off if it was on Git - way more accessible.

Amazon Glacier for stuff that can't be redownloaded or reproduced - personal photos and videos, mostly.

Time Machine for documents and projects - those usually live in Dropbox or Github/Bitbucket as well.

I don't bother with backing up OS/configuration, since it takes no more than a day to get a clean OS and applications to a state where I'm feeling at home.

Apparently not yet. Signed up as 🛃 just now (yay..).

April's Fools'

Except then someone who has invested a fortune in Bitcoin might go nuts and take it out on him

An invite would be awesome!

They've done it twice with their "one app at a time" videos:

I actually agree with you – i'm sure Snapchat, considering their growth and userbase, can turn into goldmine if they play their cards right. It's just weird that a company with an actual revenue is mentioned as an example of us not being in a bubble, while one mobile app without any revenue simply turns down 3+ billion offer - no bubble over there.

While I'm absolutely certain that Snapchat's marginal costs are much lower than Everpix's, Everpix had real revenue. If we're talking about bubbles, surely that has to count for something - a product people actually are willing to pay for?

Would it really take $3.2b to engineer a product similar to Nest and market it to an even wider audience? I'm happy for Nest guys, but the number is a bit ridiculous.

Unlike.. say, Snapchat?

While I haven't looked at the source, it is indeed a shame that they're not using a mature, battle-proven framework. With frameworks we have today, why would you roll your own, especially for a project like OwnCloud?

XSS has nothing to do with PHP at all.

There's nothing inherently wrong with PHP security. You can write crap and insecure applications in any language.

Probably to ensure a good overlap, timezone-wise. http://jobmote.com usually tags those with 'US-only' or similar.

Can't wait for the 4" model.

While this has indeed been the case so far, it's important to point out that the final decision is scheduled to be made by the Cabinet of Ministers tomorrow (Tuesday).

Mavericks is not yet supported it seems - "Incompatible Plug-ins Disabled [..] Contact the makers of these plug-ins for versions that are compatible with Mail 7.0 and Message 7.0."

How is Apple TV "just an expensive Roku"? $99 certainly is not a high price point. Not to mention that Apple TV actually costs $0.99 less than Roku 3.

What's the story here?

That's what http://jobmote.com/ does currently.

I'd say jQuery is pretty sexy for what it does. That's one of the main (if not the main) reasons it took off.

Presentation wise, I found the Alicia Keys gym analogy and some other things to be cringe-worthy as well.
