How would this affect you if you are using Github as a OAuth provider? Does Github mention under what conditions they are going to take away someone's username? No code? No OAuth? No activity?

It has gotten considerably faster in last few years. I'm using SLT 4G with an average speed of 30Mbps.

But the religious groups are a protected class. Religion is something you choose. By that logic, it would be possible to discriminate against "Christians", "Muslims", etc.

It's $25 because it's buy one - give one free. http://www.luckyironfish.com/facts (At the bottom).

One of the reasons I'm using Uber is that it's quite safe. Otherwise, most of the times you try to get into a cab, they try to rip you off. There are rigged meters, long routes, switching bills when you are paying, etc.

I posted about our small medical app about 6 years ago. So far we've been,

1. Started a company around the medical apps (http://www.medicaljoyworks.com)

2. Managed to create a revenue stream and released more than 12 apps in the medical education field (Some completely new apps and some sub specialty apps of the original app idea)

3. Employed several full time people through out the years - in four different countries.

4. Our apps have been downloaded more than ~4 million times and been in the top ten medical apps around the world continuously.

5. Have been featured in many prominent blogs and medical college study guides (Also few research papers on medical education using gamification and pilot programs from universities)

6. Released more than 600 case studies in English and Spanish. (We are on the process of translating everything into French, Italian and Portuguese).

7. Doing quite good on revenue/profit and about ~200 content creators are working for us on contract basis right now.

Anyone know whether they used watson APIs to create this bot or used the original watson codebase (with IBM collaboration)?

It could be a competitor of someone who is using linode for their hosting. Rather than attacking a single server which would be easier to track down, it's probably easier to attack the whole network.

In any case, there is one question remains. How do facebook defines a "million dollar" bug if the security team is not aware of the damage it can do. Since this is not the first time this bug was reported, did they actually give a big bounty to the first person who did the initial report(Given that it can lead to this much damage)? Or just another small bounty saying that it's not a very important security flaw.

Just make sure that if there are any launch daemons plist files, those should be root:wheel. Otherwise "launchctl" won't load those daemons.

During the Presidential Election of Sri Lanka (2015, January), there was a huge Volunteer supporter base on social media for Maithreepala Sirisena (The candidate who won the election defeating the previous president). This was mainly due to the fact there was no media freedom and the traditional media was hugely biased towards one side.

It was quite interesting since the official tech teams of the candidates are there as nominal roles. They were just using online advertising and maintaining FB pages, etc - nothing more.

Correlated.org is quite brilliant. Is there a way to see the most popular posts?

Is there a good library that does the same inside a textarea?

Checkout our newest product - an online medical reference. The main feature would be our new creative UI that would let users navigate the site easily and comfortably with a nostalgic feeling. http://www.explainmedicine.com/

One of the main reasons Ubuntu got popular (compared to other distros) on Sri Lanka because they shipped free CDs. Lots of people in Sri Lanka didn't have Cable or DSL internet connections by that time. It was limited to a smaller area of the country - even when people had it, it was 512kbps.

No one was going to bother download a huge distro DVD to try out a new OS. However, when you get a CD, you tend to try it out. The smooth installation process certainly helped a lot.

I funded MicroView on Kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1516846343/microview-ch...). I think they also ran into problems with manufacturing a large quantity of devices. However, I got the device in a reasonable time frame and I'm very happy with the quality of the product. I'm not sure whether they are the rule or the exception.

In the end, it's unfair to assume that this project will fail to deliver shipments based on unrelated failed crowdfunded projects.

What's the typical visa type of foreign entrepreneurs who gets accepted into YC? The startup visa is not ready yet, right?

Did you try followshows.com

One of the main reasons companies want people to download their free app is that it's a great marketing channel. Once enough people download the app, it goes up in the App Store rankings. When you are up in the rankings, you get free marketing for your product. Thousands/millions of users are seeing the app and by extension the product.

Android doesn't ask for user's permission before accessing the address book, is it?

Any recommendations on where to buy a good ssl certificate?

Is this only for web development libraries? I think there will be a huge market for iPhone/Android libraries.
