Super simple, really like it.
Reminded me of thatgamecompany's games (Flower, Journey) and how they make a simple experience/world you join for imaginative moments.

This was mentioned by another poster, but I don't see many people addressing it.
What about elderly or disabled people who require car/bus transport to live their daily lives? Are there transportation alternatives for those that can't walk as easily?
I'm not saying this can't work with them, but I'm curious what those options would be. Especially if their neighborhood just becomes one of these superblocks (rather than them deciding to live there).

You start by saying "success is not related with money" and finish by implying that more people listen to Bill Gates because of his money than his other accomplishments. There are plenty of super wealthy people out there we don't listen to much at all (for example, I don't think I've ever heard someone quote one of the Waltons...) but Bill Gates has done a tremendous amount with his wealth - and even more importantly - his time, which is what I listen to him about.

oh great, thanks for the link - being able to tweak the config is much better, although I'm not sure I'd want a mobile app for this

I tend to think it's a good thing that I don't actually know my bank passwords - a password manager is much simpler. Having strong passwords for all different banks is a piece of cake when you don't have to remember them.

I think your explanation about why the twitter crusade feels so despicable is right on, dsacco and Thomas.
Yet I'm struggling with why I (and much of the tech community) was OK and frankly downright gleeful at publicizing the Hacking Team hack - their data was exposed illegally and were engaged in immoral behavior re: working with various abusive governments (and had previously denied these facts).
If I'm OK with people losing their right to privacy when they violate my moral sense, then am I much better...?

yeah, great example, that could also help define the scope - in what ways does the excel feature solve the problem and it what ways does it need to be expanded for code specific issues?

Fantastic! I had been looking for this kind of overview of basic recommendation systems for the past few months, and this is the first time I've seen so much understandable yet really helpful information in one place. If anyone else knows of similar kinds of articles, I'd appreciate suggestions.

Maybe MMM site is a good place for it, maybe not - but the idea sounds great - to have a place where people can submit info about when this happens to them as well to publicize and share advice.
