Re:Google’s Project Fi now caps data bills at $60 on Wednesday January 17, 2018 @06:20PM (#16173023)
In the article it does say: The bill protection feature includes international data (which is always included) and also applies to data-only plans for laptops, tablets and cars.

Is that why I keep getting those Asian egg donor ads on Facebook ?

Putting this on my wishlist for Christmas. It's an interesting project, illustrating a very particular insular type of culture
Re:Local and organic is a romantic myth on Tuesday November 10, 2015 @09:19PM (#10544381)
I don't understand why this is not scalable. Even in the bay area, where there is high population density and the price of living is one of the highest in the world, there are tons of farmer's markets everywhere.

Technology which improves transportation aid local food production even more.

Re:Signal for Android: RedPhone and TextSecure in one app on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @02:43PM (#10502007)
Unfortunately when I used Redphone previously the call quality is pretty bad. The volume of the call would get screwed up and I know it's not to do with the signals (lol) because I would hang up and call the person back without redphone and it would work perfectly.
Re:Computer, Respond to This Email on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @02:02PM (#10501734)
When you receive a call today, you are already prompted with auto response messages such as 'I'm busy, I'll call you back.' This seems like the natural next step.

This is very fun for me, even as someone who's not a sports fan. Great way to engage this other segment of readers.
Re:Duolingo Raises $45M, Now Valued at $470M on Wednesday June 10, 2015 @12:58PM (#9693610)
Or maybe Klingon ?
Re:Duolingo Raises $45M, Now Valued at $470M on Wednesday June 10, 2015 @12:57PM (#9693603)
Have been a fan of Duolingo for a long time. I see it as an important enabler of people who're aspiring hypergots or polygots. I can't wait for Esperanto to become available within the app.
Who says the Germans have no sense of humor ?
Re:No Longer an Inspiration on Wednesday April 15, 2015 @02:12PM (#9382913)
Agreed.

Different people may have different reasons for going to hackathons. For some, it may be to practise their skills at solving more technical problems and for others it may be simply to validate an idea, for which a wix side and a PDF are perfectly reasonable MVPs.

It's a great thing idea to set aside categories to encourage participation for novice / beginners to hackathons. We all have to start somewhere, perhaps the author forgot that she herself was in a similar situation just a few months ago.

Re:Gyroscope: A personal site powered by your life on Wednesday March 18, 2015 @05:50PM (#9228922)
Dear @aprilzero, I'm loving the dashboard. Hope you can add in more integration with other services, like kanbanflow for productivity (it comes with a nifty pomodoro timer) and miband for fitness.
Re:What It's Like Working for TaskRabbit on Friday March 13, 2015 @04:31PM (#9199840)
Would be interesting to read about the weirdest jobs these taskrabbiters had taken, but would not be surprised if there is already a subreddit for that.
Re:The new MacBook on Monday March 09, 2015 @06:52PM (#9174635)
Agreed. My first instinct is why is this in gold? Why is everything in gold?

Still waiting for a version of smartwatch built for females.
Re:Sortie en mer – A trip out to sea on Monday February 16, 2015 @02:27PM (#9058689)
It would be interesting to see full length feature films developed in this technique.
Tendermint proposed a solution to the 'nothing at stake' problem with the concept of bond deposit. Check out the whitepaper at http://tendermint.com/
Re:Google Domains Launches to All in U.S on Tuesday January 13, 2015 @10:16PM (#8884072)
Agreed. On the website, it mentions that it'll integrate with Blogger, Shopify, Squarespace, Weebly and Wix. Integration with App Engine would be a big selling point.
Re:Throw Away Your Television on Saturday January 10, 2015 @08:00PM (#8868616)
What happens when a brogrammer writes a self-improvement blog. I like the style.
Re:Places to Go in 2015 on Friday January 09, 2015 @10:16PM (#8865759)
So excited to see my hometown, Chengdu, listed. It's a great place to visit, rich heritage, amazing food and not to mention, pandas!

I remember reading this about 10 years ago, feeling old now.
Re:The Pirate Bay Mystery on Friday January 09, 2015 @03:02AM (#8861228)
What is the reddit link?
Re:Meditation Is Garbage Collection for Your Mind on Wednesday January 07, 2015 @10:23PM (#8854848)
I like the analogy as a hook and lead in but a bit disappointed to find the actual content a bit lacking, but perhaps that's the point?

Would be helpful to include a brief summary of the three different practises of Vipassana or insight medidation as a whole just to provide an introduction.

( and if not, an invite to your next rooftop party would probably suffice )
