davidmp··on A Bad Privacy Bug
I'm a paying user and this won't make me stop using the service, but there should be a reasonable expectation of privacy here. Obviously the database has to store this information in a retrievable way, but to expose it so carelessly on a regular basis is completely unnecessary.

  But I do this from my own Pinboard account, which has 
  superpowers. Specifically, it lets me see private bookmarks

At least it's opt-in.
davidmp··on Be Specific (especially during PG's office hours)
The analytics platform discussed in the article is http://keen.io

They've since been working hard to nail their product down with more specificity. :)

davidmp··on Why I Chose New York
I lived in a studio on Market St in the Tenderloin for $825/mo. With a huge window. There are other units for even cheaper. http://sfofficelofts.com
davidmp··on Turning down Zynga: Why I opted out of the $210M Omgpop buy
Just to pile on more here, the government has another $0.20, so he only really has your $0.50.
davidmp··on WebKit Limit on Retina JPG Image Display
iPad is "retina" at a viewing distance of 15 inches. iPhone is "retina" at a viewing distance of 10 inches.

Pixel density is only half the equation.
