Really smart from Mozilla; they leverage trust in their brand with a product for which trust is the most important feature. Making a VPN is a non-trivial technology project, but it's pretty straightforward how to do it well.

George Pullman made a town outside of Chicago for workers to build his railcars. It didn't end well:
"the town and its design were... a paternalistic system that took away men's rights as citizens, including the right to control their own domestic environment"

Happy that google is making this investment; it's worth a shot even if it is far the ideal way to build housing. Hopefully the NIMBYism that defines this area won't kill it.
The queues at stores have always been the worst part of the experience. You put stuff in a bag, which is effectively a queue, then you wait in a line - a human queue, then you de-queue your cart on a belt, which is another queue, it gets scanned item by item and then placed right back into a similar bag to where it started. Good job Amazon for finally working to eliminate the queues.

Re:Are You Really Gluten-Intolerant? Maybe Not
on Wednesday May 14, 2014 @12:57PM (#7744723)
Many of the staples of the Western diet simply haven't been around for longer than 15,000 years (agriculture), many in fact less than 100 years (heavily processed foods). It's not about ancestors all eating the same thing; it's about the fact we've introduced tons of new things, some we can handle and some we can't (and it probably varies per person).

Re:Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL

This is not true at all. Apps on Heroku are built on open source software (Rails, Postgres, etc). You can always decide to host it all yourself without too many issues.
checkout wellnessfx... affordable, nice design, pretty easy (although they use a big needle), and they track results over time.
