One nit though: I had to go through a few links before I found out if it had voice or not. I don't believe in learning by reading (how old were you when you learned to read your native language?) and all I saw on the first page was text. Maybe I should have assumed it would have voice but so many people are hung up on learning a language from reading that that's never a good assumption to make.
What is your value proposition? Why should anyone give their money to you rather than say Dreamhost? Transparency? What would a beginner do with that? You'll write on your blog that their site was down for three days because a hard drive failed while you were on a beach somewhere, and, no, you can't afford automatic fail-over at $9/year, what did you expect? (devils advocate, of course -- but hosting is extremely competitive)

Anyway: what's your differentiator? Once that's clear, identifying clients and delivering that value to them is much easier.
But is there any case law if they're in the more restrictive parts of the TCS database? Haven't citizens been held at the boarder for not unlocking their phones, even though they aren't on a list?
If it is then the bird squawked in 2017: https://www.wired.com/story/mobilecoin-cryptocurrency/
Eh, fair. I cannot cite proof, only note that every instance I've seen Signal promise this feature has been worded in a way that indicates no phone number would be required.

It is unfortunate that I don't see many from Signal on this forum, as it'd be nice if someone would just clarify this already considering the popularity of it as a feature request.
"Keep in mind that there's more to the sentence you're quoting..."

No, that's a different sentence, that replaced the one I read. The article was edited after I wrote my comment.

When I wrote my comment, that sentence said "He did not mention their firings in his farewell note."

You can see this original sentence here: https://web.archive.org/web/20210406202729/https://www.reute...
not to mention loading up the OS with a ton of crapware and free trials.
It's like if you're a parent then you shouldn't be reading HN or something...
I like the idea. My 2c:

Pick one font for content and (possibly) one other font for headings/menus. Different weights count as different fonts. Keep the number of fonts very low. Above all, do not use Comic Sans, ever.

The animations are distracting because they last too long; make them snappier. This is a common mistake when designing UI animations; people are afraid that their great animations will go unnoticed if they are too short and make them too long instead. Trust me, we will notice your short animations. Also there is a bug: your animations can't be interrupted, so if you mouse in and out 10 times they will continue flashing long after the mouse has stopped moving. Have you considered using CSS transitions instead of Javascript?

Empty space is just as important as text. You have left plenty of horizontal space, but your vertical spacing is inconsistent. The menu at the top needs more vertical space around the links (or perhaps the same space needs a smaller font with increased tracking AKA letter-spacing). The vertical space between items in the right column seems random, with very little space above the RSS link, extra space in the top of the green box and no space at the bottom. The left column has more space under the byline than above the headline which is weird, and there is zero space below the footer.
Not asking this to be sarcastic: what cheaper country? I can't immediately come up with any industrialized nations capable of supporting large-scale electronics manufacturing that would have lower wages than China.
Getting sick of it? I was already sick of it by 12/11.
Hitler made a tactical error delaying an invasion of the uk. That was a pretty important factor.

I think there is absolutely no way you can attribute the winning of the war to any one thing; Turing, the RAF, Russian winter, the sea routes/convoys and more all contributed.
freedom and socialism as philosophical theories are not diametrically opposed.
Are you American? I've noticed Americans in general are really into this stuff. Most bank accounts come with advanced options like money market accounts, and its pretty normal for people to have a "portfolio". So I would say knowing about money is a far bigger part of the US culture than it is in say Europe.
For some reason, your average nerd often considers themselves to be a part-time economist. A nerd meeting an economist would likely attempt to argue out points, where you wouldn't do the same if you met a brain surgeon. It is just that type of field where you can pick up things in your 'spare time' and sound smart enough to hold a conversation. It must piss real economists off a lot .. (I couldn't imagine economists arguing about why RubyOnRails won't scale, but you see the opposite scenario - geeks/nerds arguing fine economic points, all the time)

That secret is not just about finance, it is about almost everything. Most of complex systems were built from simple and understandable parts. The problem is - one should learn the underlying rules and principles first.

Well Will Shipley still makes a decent living after Apple stole the iBooks design :)
Girl Scout cookies are about the worst cookies for you I have ever seen. I used to like them when I was a kid, but then I looked at the ingredients. In order to make them have a shelf life of months (long enough to be sold) at room temperature, they are loaded with trans fats, preservatives, and all kinds of bad chemicals. It's nice to support the girl scouts, but seriously, they are poisoning America with this junk. Can't we just give them a few bucks instead of buying toxic cookies?
Maybe I can explain this comment without getting downvoted again.

Many people contribute to open source projects for years without complaining about rudeness. Successful leaders like DHH and Linus even come across as rude themselves. I imagine that people that aren't bothered by rudeness have an easier time collaborating than those who are.
The book title is mostly referring to the idea of making the process of doing a startup as open as possible--you're getting a pretty good view into how these founders think and deal with a lot of different problems. I'm not sure why, maybe it's because I know some of the founders personally, but these interviews are definitely more honest and cadid than most interviews I've read. I have probably only seen more swearing in a book while reading Catcher in the Rye.
I think we all agree we eventually want humans in space.

However, as I previously wrote, I believe there will be a lot more people traveling, perhaps living, on Mars in 100 years, if we use the "agile" method now.

We went to the moon over 40 years ago. It only took two accidents to really slow the process down. Now the US' plan for human space flight is to pay someone else.

What ever happened to email spam "block" lists that actually work?
I get spam daily on my BlackBerry because of Microsoft's totally USELESS email account spam blocking/Junk mail feature. It has been like this for years, and Microsoft just launched a new revision of Hotmail... I was with them since they only allowed 5Megs, so as you can guess most of my clients won't get an update if I change my account entirely... When I first joined HotMail, they had a list {on one page} in account options in which I could put any email address to block it, or an entire domain, it worked so well, my list exceeded its standard capacity. That feature disappeared early on and it hasn't come back. It used to work.

I can't understand why most email service providers and devices like HotMail, Facebook, and RIM (The Blackberry Maker) haven't been able to provide more simple, intuitive, and consistent ways to block ALL emails from unwanted email addresses and domains on accounts and on cell phones. I have moved email to "junk folders" and labeled mail as spam in HotMail, it has only proven futile as the same email accounts keep hopping into my in box. Is this being ignored in attempts to keep me continually logged on? Mail accounts and devices should do what it "says on the tin", they should be smarter by now its 2010 FCOL [FOR Crying Out Loud]. I should be able to also block spam from repeat senders directly on my cell phone by now without having to buy an app, or logging on to a web site. I can't even put an email signature into my blackberry emails without logging on to my account with a computer FCOL!!

I am aware that I could use a G-mail account to filter all of my email more reliably, but on my Blackberry, my replies to emails would not be "From" the correct account, and that would make me look like a spammer (which I'm not) and I shouldn't HAVE TO do that to begin with...

Sorry for the rant, maybe one of the suggestions I get may greatly improve my quality of life. Thanks in advance,

Internet is a Legal Right in Finland
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10461048
From 1 July every Finn will have the right to access to a 1Mbps (megabit per second) broadband connection.

Finland has vowed to connect everyone to a 100Mbps connection by 2015.

In the UK the government has promised a minimum connection of at least 2Mbps to all homes by 2012 but has stopped short of enshrining this as a right in law.

The Finnish deal means that from 1 July all telecommunications companies will be obliged to provide all residents with broadband lines that can run at a minimum 1Mbps speed.

HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Metro App Building on Windows 8 Part 1

Applying SMART principle for writing a book 
http://wikimatze.de/smart-principle.html
This post is about the SMART principle that helps you to start and keep rolling projects. I
outlined how I use SMART for my eBook project.

I recently read the book Pragmatic Programmer, in which Dave Thomas explained the SMART principle.
SMART is an acronym and each character of the principle has the following meaning:

- S (specific goal) - what is the goal of the new project you want to start
- M (measurable) - list all the features you need to accomplish to start the project
- A (action) - when will you start
- R (realistic) - it's a small project and I know that I can be ready with it during the
demanded time frame
- T (time) - in the beginning of July 2012 everything should be fine

Mavericks: Geniuses or Jerks?
http://www.fastcompany.com/3001535/maverick-your-company-genius-or-jerk
I believe "Steve Jobs" personality would not survive a typical corporate environment. To begin with, he's anti-authoritarian. This quality alone means that he will be in constant combat with his managers - not good for a new hire. Secondly, he's disrespectful of legacy paradigms and established corporate policies as it relates to product development and execution.

Mavericks who are geniuses cannot blossom in a corporate environment, despite their genius. It is an illusion if corporations believe they can tolerate mavericks without destroying morale.
