This is super cool!

I am interning at Sourcegraph and we have heard devs want better usage examples too, so we automatically show all uses of any function

Looking forward to an API :)
If you can man in the middle traffic, aren't all authentication cookies compromised anyway?

Wouldn't any service then be subject to "interception"?

Re:Palaeolithic diet: Should we all eat like cavepeople? on Tuesday June 17, 2014 @01:28PM (#7905687)
If it was not marketed at "eat like a caveman" I think it would have more adoption. Paleo is really just about eating more natural foods (less processed foods). It works well.

Interesting that most of these are Raspberry Pi / hardware hacks.
Re:Popular startup stole my code – now what? on Wednesday March 26, 2014 @11:18PM (#7478387)
How will you know if someone is about to close or exit? I feel like startups go out of their way to keep that private.
Re:Some young adults disconnecting with 'dumbphones' on Tuesday March 25, 2014 @03:53AM (#7464467)
Does anyone know if it is possible to get a dumb phone that uses nano-sim?

I want to try this out without switching permanently.

If law school is so expensive, it is harder to become a lawyer. If less people become lawyers, the supply decreases (resulting in the demand for the shortage of lawyers to be greater).

"There is no economic law that says that lawyers should make more money than programmers because they choose to be ripped off in pursuit of their training."

You don't NEED a degree to do programing. Arguably a computer science degree is standard but even then, you don't need 7 years of schooling. In order to be a lawyer, you need to complete law school.

At the end of the day, it's fair for a lawyer to charge more. Why? Because someone is willing to pay the premium.

Re:New study shows we work harder when we are happy on Saturday March 22, 2014 @05:48PM (#7451060)
I don't even understand why you would say this...

This is not what the parent comment said... it just asked how 'happiness' is measured.

I always see this and want to say this: if you are a high schooler, do not ask for permission to apply, just apply.
Re:US Patent 5676977 – Method of Curing AIDS on Wednesday March 05, 2014 @08:07PM (#7351160)
Wouldn't other countries be manufacturing it 'legally' since the patent only applies to the US? This is why you see generic Viagra produced and sold from other countries?

Are you an Angel VC or is this a wishlist?
Re:Google ordered to remove anti-Islamic film from YouTube on Thursday February 27, 2014 @11:05AM (#7312886)
More like US court ordered Google to remove anti-Islamic film from YouTube...

"By a 2-1 vote, a panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Google's assertion that the removal of the film "Innocence of Muslims" amounted to a prior restraint of speech that violated the U.S. Constitution."

Re:So someone "stole" your idea on Wednesday January 08, 2014 @12:18PM (#7024835)
what if your idea is an algorithm that can take a photo of someone and tell your their age? If you have a detailed understanding of how the algorithm will work (and what won't) and you have proved it will work, someone can steal that? Is that OK?

I agree with the "ideas are nothing without execution" but I feel like this applies largely to the consumer web/apps field. There are a lot of other 'ideas' that have taken years (maybe even a lifetime) of research and work.

What are the alternatives to EBC? Why not use CBC?
I'm tempted to bid on this for myself

A startup with spaghetti code of this stature will NEVER be successful.

Is there another one planned for next semester?

Awesome! Great post

I remember seeing this at the Box Hackathon a year ago but couldn't find it online. Thought it was neat. Congrats!
