> Gerrit simplifies Git based project maintainership by permitting any authorized user to submit changes to the master Git repository, rather than requiring all approved changes to be merged in by hand by the project maintainer. This functionality enables a more centralized usage of Git.

The unofficial app on the App Store uses Coinbase's name and artwork, and doesn't say that it's unofficial [2]. It's seen updates since Coinbase's blog post, where the author could have added this but hasn't. I also wonder if they've been making sure that they're still willing to say that they believe it to be secure and safe to use after the updates.

This is concerning to me, as a Coinbase user.

It's debatable how much value there is in having a well-defined culture rather than one that just emerges, and also how to define one. I think the way the authors of this job posting define their culture is narrow-minded. A lot of people who aren't into a traditional lifestyle don't go out of their way to talk about it, in fact they lead a simpler life so they don't have to think so much about their lifestyle.

Also your mention of his eventual death sounds insulting. There are plenty of better things to pick apart Ellison for besides his age, and he isn't all that old. There isn't a single mention of his health in the wikipedia article about him: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Ellison

They aren't very convenient, but keep in mind that the slides are merely a byproduct. They are in a form that was designed for giving the presentation, not in a form that was designed for reading on the website. The speech is missing. I tend to prefer video recordings of talks (like confreaks) to looking at slides by themselves.
