I live in Rhode Island, and the heroin use is out of control. In the small town I grew up we lose someone to OD every month or so, and I have many acquaintances that are using. 5-10 years ago heroin use in the town was unheard of. All of the people I know that use started with Oxycontin, and then moved on to heroin when they became more desperate.

It is a shame that we went all in on uranium reactor technology (so we could make bombs) instead of further pursuing liquid fluoride thorium reactors, which are much safer.

Kirk Sorensen at http://flibe-energy.com/ has some great talks about this. I highly recommend watching some of his content on youtube.

This is today's official response by the white house.

What a cop out.

get arrested, go back to prison

Who takes an Uber to work?

I'd like to see a study like this about airplanes, tractor trailers, and container ships.

Isn't a lot of government using IIS? How long before someone starts attacking their services with this?

Is Azure vulnerable?

I've been buying my glasses at a certain website that is very cheap and has great promo codes. All you have to know is your prescription. They are sort of cheap feeling, but they work and have stylish shapes. Also can buy 4 pairs for less than half of what I'd pay at LenseCrafters.

JSHint is a thing.

Also, I think you are looking for typescript.

I am hosting upbeatapp.com on heroku's free tier. We have ~10k users, with ~250 concurrent at peak.

Getting the users and keeping your head in the game is the hardest part.

These hacks were probably done by hackers in US/EU to help expose SOPA legislation. However they found other goodies, and then trolls started trolling about this movie and blaming it on NK, who cant deny it because they like the attention.

I find it hilarious that anyone takes NK as a serious domestic threat.

We've had great success hiring from AngelList. More than half of our team at this point.

Congrats! We at CapLinked love your product.

Lost and kept off 48# over 9 months on low carb paleo.

From my experience this is how everyone is hiring... sounds like you've had some bad experiences.

> It is well in line with historic norms.

The CPI (used to gauge inflation) has been modified in a variety of ways over the past 35 years. Various estimates of what the annual rate would have been over the past four years if earlier methods of calculation had been continued come up with numbers in the 5%-to-10% range.

I work/live in Venice (on Westminster)!

I've met many people at js.la, laruby, and events at General Assembly and CoLoft.

"Dangerously Ambitious" really? Fuck their rhetoric.

can we all agree to stop using the term "hack" like this?

Corn subsidies and good marketing.

This is more of a question of "the right tool for the job". If you are building a javascript client, your back end should be an API.

So the real question here is: is Rails good for building APIs? Yes. Are there other alternatives that may be better? Yes.

made a quick pull request to save you 83kb, silly to include jQuery just for document.ready.

I think the real problem is that most of us come to the site too often... take a stretch and go outside :)

My current side project is http://upbeatapp.com, working on it with two co-workers, and having some success.

Been having fun with Go-lang koans and Angular.js uiRouter as well.

The amount of hate in this thread is sickening.

Isn't this how everyone utilizing a pre-processor uses it?

Your loss!
