Haus is a side project that I worked on: an app that can help renters deal with the frustrations of apartment bills, service providers, roommate payments etc.

I would love if anyone signed up for the beta: https://hausiq.com

It would be neat if there were a way to save songs for later consumption. As a spotify user, I would love to be able to "star" it so it saves to my account, but I'm not sure if that is possible on the web

This is too bad, it would have been nice to drop in on a lecture

I don't think I've ever heard of pipes to be able to have forgotten about it. However, after browsing the website for about 3 seconds I closed the window out of disgust with no idea what the product did. Compare this to IFTTT (which is fairly well known in this sphere) or zapier (which I had never heard of, but could figure it out after a few seconds on the website). It really might be all about presentation. Unfortunately I'm not willing to evaluate evaluate this statement in regard  to pipes because I'm not willing to look at their website any longer to see if they actually do what the article claims.

I think we can give the creator the benefit of the doubt and assume that this language was created as a parody of these debates.
How about a tool that gets authorization from your github account and let's you automatically upload LICENSE files to your project. The particular license is based on user input, similar to [1]. Does something like this exist?

[1]. http://creativecommons.org/choose/

*edit - this way it could just be an open source project instead of waiting for github to implement it.

There was a blogpost [1] a month or so ago showing a backdoor to some webcams. The urls on the map look to be using this method in conjunction with some sort of ip-location lookup.
