Here's an hour long interview with Tim Jenison where they discuss some of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5D0AMvdt11g
Splendor··on What's the story with the Makerbot patent?
Why is this post separate from the Boing Boing blog with no ability to comment?
Splendor··on 5 Tiles Keyboard
Neither the video or images were compelling enough to get me to install a free app. Show me someone using the keyboard.
Splendor··on Sacked Google worker awarded €110,000 for unfair dismissal
Interesting. I was unaware that Google used stacked rankings.
Splendor··on Hello from 1978
Or beards.
Splendor··on Hello from 1978
Yes, yes it does.
Splendor··on Hello from 1978
I do some work in OpenVMS so the video looks surprisingly like 2014 to me.
Splendor··on Mkdown
What about light.mkdown.com/abc123 ?
Splendor··on FCC Head to Revise Broadband-Rules Plan
It looks like the only change is that the FCC is promising to keep the ISPs in check so ISPs don't abuse their proposed ability to charge companies for access to their customers. No thanks; I'd much prefer actual ISP regulation over empty promises.
Splendor··on The next version of DuckDuckGo
Chrome 34 on Windows 7. Can't read this bubble when it's on the first result: https://i.imgur.com/SrplpW4.png

Splendor··on Supreme Court to hear arguments on Aereo this week
Aereo is for people who can't put up an antenna (or don't want to). This device requires an antenna.
Splendor··on No, don't enable revocation checking
I guess I knew that but hadn't grasped the security problem this presents. You've changed my mind. Thank you.
Splendor··on No, don't enable revocation checking
Does enabling revocation checking make me less safe?
Splendor··on No, don't enable revocation checking
I did read the article.

> "In order to end on a positive note, I'll mention a case where online revocation checking does work..."

Splendor··on No, don't enable revocation checking
Let me get this straight. Sites across the internet are (hopefully) revoking their CAs and issuing new ones to address Heartbleed but Mr. Langley is suggesting that we shouldn't check for revoked CAs because it might not do anything and it's slow?

Sorry, but after the last few weeks I'll happily accept a little slowness for the security revocation checking provides in the cases where it does work, even if it's not 100% of the cases.

Splendor··on Ask HN: Your favorite YouTube channels?
I think a HN show is a good idea but I'm not sure the Diggnation bro vibe is the right fit for most of the HN audience. At least I hope not.

Splendor··on Lens Blur in the new Google Camera app
Isn't the real story here that Google is continuing to break off core pieces of AOSP and offer them directly via the Play Store?

I use this for inspiration throughout my day:

This is one of those services that I didn't realize I needed until I saw it and now I can't believe it didn't exist. Thanks!
Splendor··on Ask HN: How do you listen to music while working?
I usually listen to music that I've heard many times before. I find listening to new music steals my focus.
Splendor··on Help me surprise Catherine
> There’s four ways to help

Should be "There are four ways to help".

Splendor··on Comic Sans, meet Comic Neue
I'm partial to "Pack my red box with five dozen quality jugs".

It's a problem for me because people have created four Skype accounts with my email address so far and there's no way to delete them.
