This is a new forum that's focused on supporting managers in tech and building high performing teams. I've tried out the alpha and found it quite helpful as an engineering manager. https://risingteam.com/

Just wanted to add that both were a big help and that my insurance is active again. Thanks to everyone who tried to help. I'll have to pay it forward somehow.

Fingers crossed!

Thanks so much, most appreciated. I'll take the first offer of help first and if that doesn't work I'll follow up with you.

Haha, just a typo and not a subconscious slip, I swear! :-)

There is a persistent error message on my 2016 profile on healthcare.gov after that button was clicked (despite it also showing it's active on that side of things). My understanding is that the bug is the integration point between the two. From past issues and what I've been told on this one, is that the only way things get fixed and made right is to have healthcare.gov retransmit the correct data/status. Cigna can't fix it on their own from their side. Thanks for the offer to help, didn't expect any action, just a post out of frustration. I'll shoot you and email.

Healthcare.gov is the absolute worst. They had a button "End coverage for 2017" I clicked it around the end of November because I chose a non-marketplace plan for 2017, and the end result of that click was Cigna my current marketplace insurer for 2016 received a transmission from them, and interpreted it incorrectly, which made my 2016 plan inactive and retroactively terminated me back to 08/31 despite having paid all my premiums and processed claims up until end of November.

Their escalation process is useless, 30 days to resolve (if I'm that lucky). Will try not to get injured in the meantime.

Glitches and data sync issues are unreal, this is not an isolated incident. Every year it's been something. 2014 I was on Covered California and had to take them to administrative court to resolve data and tax form issues (canceled then due to a move and it completely wiped out my 2014 enrollment). Then in 2015 on HealthCare.gov they had me enrolled in the same plan twice and the insurer wanted double the premiums until they could resolve it.

The Hackpad import on DB Notes works really well and they have an option to redirect all your old Hackpad urls to the newly imported notes, which is pretty nice. The only catch with Notes so far is there is no way to back them up / export them from the DB Notes interface.

I don't see Ryan Lochte in the list?!

This worked for me too, about an hour ago. So not just good luck it seems :-)

Ssh'ing from the gce web console seemed to make my instances reachable. Afterward ssh from terminal and web access worked.

Pushed some major new features for enterprise clients of Emphatic (a website I run which provides subscriptions for handmade social media content for businesses - https://www.emphatic.co ) and made the registration flow easier to use.

In the real world, got a squirrel out of my attic. :-) Equally challenging!

It's great to see people are starting to realize that there are opportunities inland in America, especially if you are bootstrapping and want some extra breathing room cost wise.

I spent most of my time in America in NYC and SF (originally from Canada), but recently moved out to Dallas for much of the same reasons. Had started a company so I wasn't tied to SF for work anymore and the cost of living in Dallas where housing was 10x cheaper tempted me to take a risk and come out here, and I have no regrets. More space, lots of things to do tech wise and arts and culture wise, especially if you seek it out and are intentional about it.

Thanks!

Married, no kids. My wife is also my co-founder so it made employment logistics easy.

I just did the SF --> DFW move this week. Housing is 10x cheaper so that tipped the pluses ahead of the minuses for me, and it's still a big city so you can find decent things to do outside of work. Have my own b2b company that I'm bootstrapping, so I realized I wasn't tied to SF anymore for any particular reason. Will be interesting to see how the next year goes!

I've been busy building Emphatic over the last couple months. I wanted to open it up to the wider community to get some feedback on the service.

To give you a concrete example of how it works there is a review of our service on the Small Business Trends blog today: http://smallbiztrends.com/2014/05/custom-social-media-conten...

Any and all product feedback is welcome. All we care about is getting better and better at what we do! Thanks in advance!

This is good feedback to consider, thanks for that, appreciate it.

When we say 100 updates, it's 100 good ones :-). The thinking behind starting at 100 is so that the customer gets a couple updates a day in order to keep their audience engaged.

That said we are definitely looking into being more flexible with the plans. We have had some requests for a larger package than the Gold, > 225 updates/mo, and are willing to do this. Also thinking about top up credits, if you have an acute need like an event or product launch.

It was my understanding that the cops were not limiting themselves to residential buildings, but stopped anyone on the street that they thought looked "suspicious". I've seen it happen in Bushwick a number of times outside of store fronts. I wonder whether this will change the way the police are currently operating on the ground...

We are definitely working on calling it out better in an update to the app. Thanks for the feedback!

Hi Bill, if you hit the (i) info button on the top bar in the circa app it will show the attribution for each point in a given story.

Thanks for the example! I've pushed the fix so the Grab it button has maximum Zzz's and it's working well on this page now. :-)

Thanks for the heads up! I'm going to look into this and get back to you. Not sure how bookmarklets integrate with iPad.

Noir newbie here, was really happy with how easy it was to deploy to Heroku. Heroku's tutorial isn't tailored for Noir but this article made it very straight forward: http://thecomputersarewinning.com/post/clojure-heroku-noir-m...

Love it!

https://github.com/seyhunak/twitter-bootstrap-rails I didn't create it, but it's useful in a rails 3.1 / Heroku Cedar env.

Love it, using v 1.3 as a ruby gem in dev and 1.1 in production: https://www.tentative.ly . Worked out well for our product, moved to it from Blueprint/Compass.

"Let's not turn every corner of the internet back into real life." Great point, could be the start of a manifesto!
