Isn't supposed to be easy to move the card details from the vault to other provider?
cicloid··on Microsoft to acquire Nokia
With the apparent growing trend on emerging markets of Windows Phones (the Lumia series produced by Nokia, and pushed by carriers on LATAM like Telcel/America Movil)

This seems like a great move from MS, they have bought more runway.

But come on, the move was telegraphed a couple of years ago.

cicloid··on Introducing Heroku Fork
trashes old automation scripts

Finally it came out of beta... Probably one of the best features for a sane development workflow.

cicloid··on Costco does not hire business school graduates
Even in Mexico, there is a stark contrast between the feeling in the stores and employees treatment from a Costco vs Sam's Club. Also the quality of products sold is very noticeable
cicloid··on CSS Zen Garden is 10 Years Old Today
Great times ;)
cicloid··on Airbnb launches Verified Identification to help bring more accountability
After visiting Jumio I started looking for alternatives and just found http://www.miicard.com

A couple of minutes later I was reading about how to validate drivers license or how startssl does verification.

The only thing left is real physical verification, which probably doesn't scale well and can be prohibitive.

What is out there to verify identity? Am I missing something?

cicloid··on The Promise to Develop Ethical Software
I'snt software amoral?

The same routine that helps target a missile from a drone, could help target viruses more effectively, but someone has to make the choice to use it for that purpose.

cicloid··on Unlocking Cellphones Becomes Illegal Saturday in the U.S.
Funny story. Since october, If you own your cellphone on Mexico (not subsidized or contract has ended), according to the NOM-184-SCFI-2012 you can ask your carrier to unlock it for you, free of charge.
cicloid··on Unlocking Cellphones Becomes Illegal Saturday in the U.S.
It could be worse. Here in Mexico, the goverment signed ACTA without the congress approval.
cicloid··on What it's Really Like Working with Steve Jobs
I think you should have said, "Apple is people working hard, iterating and delivering." Many of those hard working folks are still at Apple.

If Jobs was Apple, there should still be some skunkworks projects left behind to ship and the numbers are still favorable to Apple.

cicloid··on Punchd is shutting down
... and; What was Punchd? For those of us not familiar with their work.

Kudos Matt!

cicloid··on Pickadate.js
How much of that code on UI is for accessibility or backwards compatibility
cicloid··on Luvit – Asynchronous I/O for Lua
Probably you'll see even more in the coming months. With Redis support and even nginx. This could be huge!

And the language looks nice!.

cicloid··on Heroku vs. AWS Revisited
It appears I still can open a support request in https://help.heroku.com/tickets/new?query=ticket

What the new interface appears to do is that it forces users to RTFM. Probably the first step every user in a self-serve system should do before opening a ticket.

After you have searched for the info, then probably you should open a ticket.

Now, if you have premium support. That is a whole new story.

cicloid··on Twitter Open-Sources Clutch.IO, Mobile A/B Testing Service
For some reason, the framework looks like something that could potentially be packaged in a nice DSL inside a gem for rubymotion.

Probably is just the lack of sleep talking here.
