GitHub added new webhook IP ranges this morning, curious if that's related.

Obligatory: Is it fast yet?

Apologies if this comes off as trolling. I really want it to be snappy so I can switch over.

I don't know about Twitter itself, but I think there have been a few attempts at federate competitors or protocols. The most recent I can recall is Tent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tent_(protocol)

It seems like Tent has morphed now into this: https://cupcake.io/

I like it. It's the sound a descending mob of angry chickens might make.

Love where this is headed. Could you comment on security with nvlope? I'm curious in particular about two-factor auth, but anymore insight would be great.

Was this expected? I figured after he returned he'd be sticking around for a bit.

Oh what I would give to pit my genetically-superior boxcar against a challenger.

How does this article share both of these statements?:

"BitTorrent Sync Is A Dropbox Killer, Or Maybe Much More Than That"

"Maybe Sync is not an out-and-out DropBox killer, but it does look likely to broaden the scope of what we understand by file storage and change what customers expect from file storage services"

So is it, or isn't it?

Praise to the BitTorrent folks in any event. I've been using Sync for a few weeks now and I've been pleased with its performance thus far. I'm debating whether I want to shut off Dropbox, but Dropbox still has several great features, versioning in particular.

Spotify comes to mind. Facebook started out even more locally restricted.

Sprout Social is looking for both Front End and Platform Engineers to join their team in Chicago:

Man, I feel daft for never hearing about this before. Thanks for the resources.

Could you elaborate on this a bit? This is the first time I've heard an accusation against Monsanto in relation to bee death. If you've got some good articles I'd like to read up.

I wasn't clear. I'm not suggesting that gun control is the answer, simply that we can use technology to address and understand how this happens.

I agree, using technology to understand brain chemistry and further mental health research is a step forward.

Well, why don't we bring it back to technology then?

Everyday on HN there's this drone about the next Instagram or 37 Signals. Or who will produce better email or flamewars regarding the next dominant mobile OS. Time wasted, honestly (Oh yeah, 'I figured out project management, again.')

Where's the debate on HN on how best to handle gun control in the U.S. using technology? Can this community not produce answers for those questions?

Might help if I actually read the whole article, drop your requests here: iwants3@aerofs.com

Any chance of opening up some more beta invites? I've been waiting awhile :(

I don't understand how the WSJ published this.

Ohhhhhhh, gotcha.

I totally agree with #2. I'm curious whether you've tried Sublime's Vintage Mode and what things may have been slow or buggy.

I'd say my Vim skills are somewhere between novice and intermediate and feel entirely out-of-place editing text without vim bindings nearby.

I think I agree with you. Ubiquitous broadband-speed capable technologies like 4G will be the way to go. It's too expensive for most rural parts (most parts, period) of America to be laying down lines.

I'm saddened that these have to exist. We need to be pushing for better broadband penetration.
