I was thinking about getting "sheeple media", dot com and trademarks but it is a bit condescending if you know what I mean.

What you provide seems very very trivial for any web programmer. How you explain that this service adds some value for a company?
Anytime someone starts carrying a gun around and acting like a cop while being trained and uniformed as a cop, there's going to be problems, if you film them.
I don't see why they use civilians to look and screen videos. Hope they have a watchmen for watchmen and informed officers who know about taping police on work.

Isn't this bit off Hacker News 'thou?

Re:Redis in my Postgres on Thursday October 18, 2012 @08:24PM (#4671726)
So you would need to write your own Foreign Data Wrapper and implement some mechanic to tell it if the SQL code is meant for first or the second interpreter?

Like: SELECT * FROM redis_db0 USING_REDIS limit 5; And Postgres would just pass that"USING_REDIS limit 5" through to Redis? Then Postgres would pass that table or array? back to caller.

Wait, wouldn't this also need modification for DB engine itself?

Meh. Not getting any kind of account just to give feedback.
Re:How Google takes feedback on Saturday September 22, 2012 @01:46PM (#4558462)
Still no way to contact human for a problem. No feedback or any kind of acknowledgement about anything.

And my only problem with Google only appears when I'm not logged in. The irony.

So does every other mobile game company. Why this one is better than others doesn't open to me by reading this blog post.

Re:Things I, As a Developer, Wish More Entrepreneurs Knew on Friday September 21, 2012 @06:22PM (#4556198)
Nope. Don't be afraid to release broken. As full quote goes: "Release early. Release often. And listen to your customers".

Trying to perfect a product by your self is hard and other people always find a genuine way to broke it. I believe that it is more important to be first out, first with samples and first with some kind of a product to sell that improves with time.

Thoughts?

But what about "release early, release often"?

What about that book he is selling? Is that any good? Have some of you even read it yet?
Re:Stop validating email addresses with your complex regex on Friday September 07, 2012 @04:18PM (#4491000)
I've been thinking about service that injects some lines of javascript for client sites that gives them button "fix this". It would send warning email after few messages about typos but it could also be used to fix these kind of things. Not sure how JS could handle selection and button press simultaneously. Maybe copy+paste part of page with fix. Maybe get some reward for being grammar nazi. Maybe some paid service for auto checking if corrections are accurate and auto-inject corrections to sites.

What the heck, how can I take MS Word online?

Re:Stop validating email addresses with your complex regex on Friday September 07, 2012 @03:56PM (#4490884)
Those who happen to own domain name and some small hosting plan with Cpanel can easily redirect all mail to that domain for specific email address. This way you can replace plus sign with dot that works everywhere.

And I've have my problems with short addresses before with Microsoft. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windowslive/forum/liveid-...

Re:Facebook Took My Credit Card Then Blocked My Account on Sunday September 02, 2012 @04:58PM (#4468081)
I'm not on facebook so I wonder why does facebook would need a credit card number?
How do you intend to handle legal matters? News sites fiercely defend their content so if I make a haxxly of CNN news site and remove all ads would you be liable and forced to remove that haxxly site?
