Reddit also has shareholders, even though it is a private company. Fiduciary duty obligations apply to Reddit management as well. IMO, management at these companies would have a very strong argument that opposing SOPA in dramatic fashion would be more likely to increase shareholder value in the long run.
My two bits:
It's great that you're having fun developing apps. I can't say much as to the robustness of the app. But, you should not discount the user experience when developing an app.

What does the site do? Why is this easier/better/nicer than X/Y/Z? I have no idea.
What need or issue are you trying to address? Why should I use this over other services?

A reader for the lazy would ideally do something like NewsBlur (which is fabulous, BTW) and pick up my feeds from a competing service. Consider providing an 'import from Google Reader' option.
You're asking me to add sites one by one, in a non-intuitive manner - if there's only one feed, just let me click 'subscribe' - don't bother giving me a (non) choice.

I like that you're loading the actual site within your app.
However, I have a 13" screen at 1280x800 and there's all sorts of scrolling required, which makes for a messy experience. Gets worse when that lower frame is pulled up to view the site. Design for multiple resolutions.

From a usability perspective, the site is confusing. I've spent more time crafting this response than using the site because of this.
I could possibly click on things and see what they do, but that's 'risky' and not lazy. For instance:

1. What do the up & down arrows do?

2. What does pull up mean?

3. I clicked on a link in a feed and nothing happened. Oh no, this site doesn't work! (If I hadn't scrolled down, I would not have realized the site had loaded in the lower 'box', which I also had to then 'pull up'. This process is not obvious or easy.) Consider an email inbox view - just titles to click on, and full previews in lower 'box'.

4. Keyboard shortcuts?

5. Why is the default post count only 3? Once read, a post remains in my view instead of minimizing itself. Infinite scrolling would be great to load more posts.

6. UI-wise, what happens once I have 30 feeds? How does your horizontal nav handle that?

There's more obviously, but this hopefully this is a start.
It's always easier for someone (me) to criticize, so keep this in mind with my comments.

Consumers now have an incentive to shop around or try alternate treatments.

When I'm rushed to the hospital after a taxi runs me down on my motorcycle, I'm not in a position to shop around.

When I'm sick with a flu and subsequent sinus infection, barely able to perform basic daily tasks without mental exhaustion, I'm in no position to shop around.

The update seems to be key:

Update: Google just posted this response to its official Google+ Page:

We are a bit surprised by Twitter’s comments about Search plus Your World,
because they chose not to renew their agreement with us last summer
(http://goo.gl/chKwi), and since then we have observed their rel=nofollow
instructions.

If that's the case, it's hard to see what Twitter's complaining about. They're telling Google not to index tweets. If they want in on the game, then play ball.
I dont get this actually.

Say a UTF8 string is ae 31 c1 12.

Now how do we decide whether it has the characters "31","c1","ae","12" or the characters are "ae 31" and "c1 12" or even "ae","31 c1" and "12".??

EDIT: Never mind!..found my answer here

I switched to an HSA in 2005 and it's been the best thing ever.

Most doctors offices have given me anywhere from an immediate 20-50% discount for immediate payment. I even got a 66% discount last year for paying before the procedure.

The reasoning behind it is simple..

If you did $100 of work and weren't going to get paid for 3-6 months, you would charge more than $100. There's the time value of money. If you have to spend a lot of time and effort to get that money, you would charge significantly more. If you knew that you would have to give up some of what you asked for, you would charge more.
(When I worked in a hospital, we had one person that her only job was to call and argue with insurance companies.)

Now.. on the flip side. If you did $100 of work and were used to Net-90 or even Net-30, what discount would you accept to get the money now? And not just now but with zero arguing, effort, etc?

Oh.. and with an HSA, I have consistently gotten same day appointments when there's a "two week wait" for people paying with insurance.

In that case, it's simple cash flow management.. if you have one slot open and you can take a customer that will pay 3-6 months later but only with lots of effort OR a guy who will pay less but before they leave the office, which would you take?
"""Early Lisp programmers (Erann Gat) at Google actually noticed that other programmers were equally or more productive. It has more to do with the programmer;"""

The might have been mighty good Lisp programmers, but if they had to "notice" that, instead of knowing it all along, they probably have drank too much of the Lisp kool-aid.

Really, if Lisp is so productive, how come very few things of major importance have come in Lisp? Besides Emacs and/or Viaweb.

99% of stuff we use is made, well, NOT IN LISP (including variations on the Lisp theme, from Scheme to Clojure).

If something was that much more productive, wouldn't it have surfaced in, you know, actually producing things?

I understand that Lisp has a smaller developer population, but even so, if it's so much more productive, where are all the cool usable tools made in it, by some talented guys? I can mainly/only find some internal tools at that or this facility, or Lisp used for extension language.

Opinions?

Imagine, if you will, that Twitter existed during the Dictadura. Now, imagine all of the immense slurring and derogatory flaming that Cristina received in the weeks prior to the recent presidential election, but now switch Cristina for 1976' first de facto leader Jorge Rafael Videla.

I personally applaud and defend* their right to express themselves like that, but the situation would have been a wee bit different back then.
A bit of packet sniffing and moments later you are being thrown off a plane.

My family paid taxes for government media (such as the official channel) for all of the presidents since the return to democracy in 1983. This government suddenly is the first to get the slack. The slack that Clarín has never given to previous governments due to the kisses and cuddles and proven corruption).

The government didn't pick a monopoly, there's only one! All other so called monopolies (not even close to Clarín's shadow) are also bound by law, and access to documentation from judiciary and administrative branches can offer a lot of insight into the enforcement of the law.
The government passed a "Media law" against monopolies. It was certainly proven that Clarín is one. Clarín then manages to have the law stopped by a friendly judge, a friendship going all the way back to the military process!

It is not true that they tried to close Clarín. They don't want to control the paper.
They want to make the single, biggest source of paper in Argentina (Papel Prensa) equally price their paper, and not have an unfair advantage to their owners.
Cristina doesn't run an enterprise. The government is every one of us, and I'd like to be able to print 10.000 papers by paying the same competitive price that Clarín.

Don't forget Clarín's role on the Dictadura, let's make a toast for expropriation!

Please, don't try to put all Kirchneristas in the same bag. The same goes for the opposition. The extremists from both sides will fling personal attacks all around, but there are a lot of people that enjoy having a discussion and trying to find the logic behind this whole clusterfuck of information crossfire.
This discussion about the media is occurring all around the world (Brazil, Mexico are immense examples, I don't know much about the US).
It's not that Cristina is Satan and woke up one day feeling bipolar (another stupid attack) and tried to destroy media concentration.

*: I also applaud and defend their right to consume a single source of information and blindly defend points that were heard in the background noise from a TV while they are having dinner. I understand the pain though. Trying to consume information and different takes on a story can be exhausting. "A man with a watch knows what time it is. A man with two watches is never sure."

I got a bit carried away, sorry for the wall of text!

You can also sort of nap in a bathroom stall. It's difficult to fall asleep completely, but closing your eyes and resting your face in your hands, with you elbows resting on your legs, for about 5-10 minutes, can help you feel rested and refreshed. And nobody will ever know.

You write that as if there's no relevant experience. "Fair trade coffee" is merely one of the examples.

I'm a die-hard vim user, who's used vim for many years.

I tried emacs with viper and vimpulse recently, and found that while they did make emacs a lot less painful, they were a far cry from making a long-time vim user comfortable in emacs.

The biggest problem is that in order to configure emacs and bind functions to keys you have to invest a lot of time in reading documentation and finding out about emacs.

If you have that sort of time to invest, great. But I didn't, especially since I already know vim very well and feel completely comfortable using and configuring it. Switching to emacs just didn't seem worth the time investment in my particular case.

I have heard that evil was a better vim emulation mode for emacs, and I've been meaning to give it a try, but haven't gotten around to it yet -- and I'm still skeptical of it addressing my main concern, which is that to really use emacs effectively (even in vim emulation mode) you'd have to invest a lot of time in learning the emacsy parts.

There is one other major issue that none of emacs' vim emulation modes address, which is the thousands of vim plugins available on www.vim.org. You might, in the best case, get all the standard vim keybindings for emacs, but you'd still be forced to use emacs scripts and plugins, instead of the vim scripts and plugins you like and are used to. Learning and transitioning to those is yet another big time sink right there.

One of the main reasons that I switched to emacs was to use SLIME to interface with Common Lisp. But SLIME is a huge program, and learning to use it and configure viper/vimpulse to bind keyboard shortcuts to its functions requires spending a lot of time learning about and understanding SLIME. It's just so much simpler to one of the less feature-rich vim plugins to develop code in CL. Yes, you'd miss out on some great SLIME features, but you would also not have to spend a ton of time learning SLIME and configuring viper/vimpulse to work with it.
Do most binaries have this high ratio of encrypted/obfuscated content? That is, would a checker which simply looked at high-entropy fraction of a binary be able to detect malware not in its database? Obviously this is trivial to defeat, but it might be the case that a broad defense such as this would force malware authors to let their code grow much bigger, which might in turn lead to other generic signatures. Would it be worthwhile?
I use vim when I ssh into machines for doing quick-and-dirty edits. I know how to use it.

It's pretty well established that forcing a user to keep track of mode is just bad UI design. I actually use vi relatively frequently, to the point of having internalized the mode concept, and I STILL occasionally make mistakes. If you've got vi in six different shells, how CAN you remember what mode they're all in? You can't. You need to look. Which interrupts the flow of development, at least for me.

And I can't forgive the extra characters you need to type to do just about anything. I was just using gvim on Linux, for example, and to paste from the system clipboard took 4? 5? character presses. You simply can't defend that as reasonable.

For serious development I would NEVER switch to vim/gvim, at least without some major keyboard remapping to, well, the defaults that you'd find in any modern editor. It's more than getting used to it--more keys means slower development, period.

Just now I was able to select the previous sentence with about 3 keypresses. Copy and paste would be a standard ctrl-c/ctrl-v. No worrying about mode, or counting characters -- and I'm in the edit window in Chrome. It shouldn't take me more characters and a completely different set of finger reflexes to do the same thing in my programming editor.
Here's a question about blocks: should they even have return values? I was wondering about that because (1) they are supposed to have an equivalence with a code sequence and code sequences don't have values and (2) one awkward difference between blocks and closures is that a closure can return a value early whereas a block can only (as I understand) return the last value of its body.

Edit: Also, as I think about it, one could maybe argue that closures are to expressions as blocks are to statements. In which case, it seems that blocks should never be bound to values but things that invoke blocks should only be able to do so as in the Ruby 'yield' where the block is implicit. You could then avoid the whole escaping problem.

Edit: And further, a thing which invokes a block should maybe belong to yet another category from closures and blocks? In a sense, such a thing is analogous to:

for (...)

or

if (...)

In other words, such a thing is half-a-statement. You have to append a block to make a whole statement. :)

How is Grove.io different from 37signals' Campfire product? Is it the IRC?

Grove.io: "Hosted IRC and so much more."

Campfire: "Team collaboration with real time chat."
We use Hipchat because of all the integrations and the ability to have a public room (which we use for support) with a web ui. Every time code is pushed, a pull request is issued, status changes in Pivotal, etc., we get a ping in our Engineering room.

I know Campfire offers a lot of these things as well; we just chose Hipchat because it's what we used and liked. :)

If you removed artificial lighting (including computer screens, tv, etc) from your life between sunset and sunrise, I can almost guarantee your sleep would fall into a pattern. Artificial light wrecks havoc on our automatic systems and stops our internal clocks from properly tracking time.

I highly recommend you try this for a month. Have a set time (say, 10-12PM) after which you will be able to get 8 hours of sleep and declare that blackout time: no lights, candles, tvs, computers, phones, etc. You will be amazed when within that month you aquire the ability to go to sleep and wake at the same times each day.
"""After about 10 minutes with Plone, a few months with Joomla, about 2 years with Drupal, and finally 3 years with WordPress, I think WordPress is still a brilliant solution for lots of problems."""

I agree. And I think this says a lot of the sorry state of Open Source (actually, even proprietary) CMS engines.

Wordpress is kinda nice, but it too breaks down.

For sites after a certain level of complexity, instead of CMS like Drupal etc, what would be useful would be a CMS lib, to build your own solution around.

Don't have my work in your idiotic constraints, just give me something like (fake language):

front_page_articles = get("type"=>"article", "limit"=>5, "published"=>true, "order"=>"DESC");

search_results = search("query"=>$query, "limit"=>100, "order"=>"RELEVANCE", "range"=>[10,20]);

add_document("body"=>$body, "title"=>$title, "createdBy"=>getCurrentUser().id. ...);

The thing that Apache Jackrabbit could be, but isn't exactly/yet.
If you watch the Super Browser 2 Turbo HD Remix talk from Google IO '11 there is a bit in there about developing something very similar, though less robust, to pre-load the assets.

FTA: "The traditional store-it-in-two-byte methods are called UCS-2 (because it has two bytes) or UTF-16 (because it has 16 bits), and you still have to figure out if it's high-endian UCS-2 or low-endian UCS-2."

Written in 2003, 7 years after UCS-2 was obsoleted by UTF-16 because Unicode 2.0 was too big for just 16 bits. UCS-2 is not UTF-16. Windows NT wasn't UTF-16 either, IIRC.

Of course, Microsoft kept telling everyone that 16bits-per-character is Unicode.
