I was genuinely confused about this too, and am still not 100% sure I get it after your comment. So the deck size means it's 50 concurrent cards, but I can add/remove card sets to my deck as much as I'd like using the free version?

If I remove cards from my deck to make room, does this mean any training on how well I've told it I know those words is lost?

30 people for 4 years seems far more than PH should need for even for even ambitious expansion plans.

When you consider the highly concentrated audience of product development users of the site, the valuation makes sense.

Would have loved to see this using lobste.rs, which looks a little nicer: https://github.com/jcs/lobsters

You appear to have 10 hours of traffic a month right now, while it's in beta:

Once they roll out paid plans, their 20 hour/month plan is $15/month. And (at least based on their pricing page now) you don't get reserved subdomains until the $25/month option, so you end up getting a random URL whenever you set a site up (again).

Nature has an order.

Like that one time when Google discovered and fixed the Heartbleed bug before anyone else did:

CodeSchool recently launched a (Google sponsored, free) Angular course with exercises too:

The more the merrier!

I think Google's recruiters realize that some really smart people have certain personality types that may mean they don't perform well in classical interviews.

There's a General Assembly here in London too. Their 12 week, full time web development course clocks in at £8,000 (about $13,500).

The problem with only using Twitter for customer support purposes is it reflects poorly on your online identity. Twitter's profiles will rank pretty high in Google and if everything that comes up is you looking to resolve something (even if they are legitimate concerns with companies where you weren't at fault), it comes across as a one sided use of the medium.

You also describe the usual chicken and egg problem any social medium involves. Nobody will follow you without interesting content and if you have no followers, you're less inclined to spend time posting it. Break out of that cycle by spending a limited amount of time on our tweets first. Make mistakes and figure out your voice while you don't have a bunch of followers yet. See if the 140 character limit works for you e.g.. Find value in the process of coming up with the content in the first place. If you still enjoy that, then you're well equipped for a larger following.

You shouldn't waste any more time on spammers by spending it trying to vet your followers. They got to decide they wanted to follow you, but you're in control of the most precious thing we have: our time. Don't give then even 10 seconds that it takes to try and decide their worth. They don't deserve that power over you.

I've never looked at any person's Twitter account and judged them by how many likely spam bots they have. I assume spam bots follow people all the time and I don't hold it against them for becoming victims.

Pricing doesn't seem too bad. $0.50 for a zone (domain) and $0.50 for a billion queries: http://aws.amazon.com/route53/pricing/

Depends on the TTL (time to live) settings for the DNS entries, doesn't it?

The Campus cafe has a great vibe, but it does get very full quickly in the morning. Space is at a premium.

Except it doesn't actually sell your data to advertisers. It gives advertisers the ability to target people with certain types of data for a limited amount of time. They don't deliver your data to them.

And yes, I realize the change.org site has more details. But once again, the whole top of that page has no actual info in the title except a bunch of acronyms.

The top of the page tells me nothing about what they're campaigning for. FTTN? NBN? FTTH?

English people. English! I'm not even sure if this is a parody.

The Liberal Party of Australia: Reconsider your plan for a 'FTTN' NBN in favour of a superior 'FTTH' NBN

Australia needs the right NBN.

Vote at change.org if you agree!

This seems relevant here: http://www.seed-db.com/

Could Facebook be storing the email addresses/phone numbers in hashed form? They should not need to hold onto the cleartext one, and if it's hashed, there's no temptation (or danger) of it being used to send unsolicited emails.

Without death, would we be as motivated to live life?

Who is intentionally exploring it? What makes you think this? Can you provide credible news sources to back up this claim that Cameron's intended anti porn measures (which have already seen conflicting pieces on opt-out vs opt-in) will be applied to books?

Other than a sensationalist blog post by someone whose passion for free speech led them to wildly jump to unfounded conclusions, which doesn't help the legitimate discussion around this topic at all?

Seems like this content would have been a great fit for http://storify.com.

I love that the replies are full of people who, like me, don't mind if advertisers know more about me. Why wouldn't I want to experience more relevant information about purchase opportunities? What's the alternative? Random stuff that doesn't apply to me? Sites who can't bring in enough revenue to operate that I don't get to use because they can't target me specifically?

I'm confident in my ability to say 'no' to an advertiser, just as I appreciate being told about things that might help my lifestyle. I'll research it, I'll look at the pros and cons as well as the costs and will make the final decision.

Although, fair disclosure, I run an ad blocker in my browser, so I don't see most of the ads anyway ;)

PleaseRobMe was a fun little project that those with a heightened concern for privacy love to point to, but I doubt it ever led to anyone having their house robbed. Again, the benefits of me being able to selectively tweet a conference hashtag and see if anyone wants to hang out in person outweighs the fear that someone's going to see if I left any Apple gadgets at home to steal.

Nothing (because none of these are necessary for the kind of privacy I practice).

I think about what I post to what social network and some things I just don't post at all.

I think I still have privacy. I have private conversations with people via Skype, IM, Facebook, email. Is it possible that at some point those leak? Perhaps. It's just not likely enough that I chose to worry about it.

I value the benefits I get over these interactions over the tiny chance they may come back to eventually haunt me.

I chose to live in the now and not let myself be gripped by paranoia of what might be.

I'm guessing they just wanted to get this out the door quickly.

You get app specific passwords, but they're only good for an hour. By then, your app should have a token that is good indefinitely (and you can revoke from their apps list).

No Google Authenticator support though. No list of backup passwords either. So if I lose SMS access on my phone, but still have my phone, I still can't get into an account from a new device.

Having a 'leaders' section that encourages people to vie for submitting the most content doesn't seem to send the right signal this early on.

Tranche.

CodeSchool has a consistent quality, with professionally done videos. By now, the site has enough of a reputation, that you can show around your profile that lists what challenges and courses you've passed.
