US-based crypto exchange BlockFi pauses withdrawals.

Quote: > We are shocked and dismayed by the news regarding FTX and Alameda. We, like the rest of the world, found out about this situation through Twitter. Given the lack of clarity on the status of FTX.com, FTX US and Alameda, we are not able to operate business as usual.

I've begun to use the beta and see a lot of value.

One point of concern (and PSA): After creating a document, my browser blocked a CoinHive miner. As far as I know, there isn't a "best practice" pattern for passively mining, but personally, I like to opt-in to this sort of thing.

Great job! Unubo is an awesome interface for a potentially useful product!

A few notes: - Github permissions seem excessive. You require: - Personal user date: full access - Repos: public and private - Delete repos - Read and write Gists - Access to all available organization - Dropbox requires access to all my files rather than just an App folder (or a limited scope) - All of the above for Trello

I haven't tested the other apps, but I hope you can understand why I'm not willing to provide full read/write access to my code, Dropbox files and project management to a service that tracks their monthly bills. (Perhaps these are required to receive accounting info?)

Sadly these concerns have prevented me from tracking any apps as this level of access seems disproportional for the purpose of the tool.

Using a Venn diagram to justify a loosely defined grammatical choice is quite possibly the nerdiest of approaches.

You should touch up on Sublime's Package Installer. With it, it completely trumps Coda (with exception to the CSS GUI).
He mentions "we are not alone" twice. Clearly he's telling us that there are aliens on the moon.

Is this open-sourced? I'd like to fork this and use internally for workflow improvement.

This is PILF (Project I'd Like to Fork)

CloudApp: CTRL + OPTION + C

Uploads contents of clipboard.

You can also drag/drop to the icon in the menubar, as well as auto-upload after ⌘ + SHIFT + 3/4.

Re:99¢ - Apple FaceTime App - Really? on Tuesday June 19, 2012 @05:00AM (#4130867)
Indeed. I don't see why they need to charge even 99¢ for it. They made that in the margins of the original products that are capable of running the app.
