This is mind blowing!

Kudos on data launch! I have been using Hooks app for free for more than a year. How do you get your revenue?

I think that recent initiative by YC under sam to invest in startups that may herald breakthroughs in sustainable fission is a great start. This should lead to a healthy competition which so far has been missing since it used to be a government only venture for a long time.

Interesting times! Can we recursively keep on creating our better (or worse) selves for ever? How will copyright work for genetic designs?

Great work @joepie91_! I wish your service the very best and hope that would scale against the DMCA brigade.

Shouldn't it be "Twitter is building open source software"? Pointing out the obvious since most of the software companies are built on open source software but only a few build one.

There is nothing wrong with "copying" kernel. This is what the open source is aimed at: Infectious growth. In fact that was the right and smart thing to do.

Interesting times. There is no doubt that the legal punches thrown at Android have been anti-competitive and kills innovation instead of what there were meant to protect. For example reportedly Microsoft earns more from Android than selling Windows phone: http://www.zdnet.com/microsoft-is-making-2bn-a-year-on-andro.... If the patents were that useful for innovation, Microsoft would have been ahead of Google by miles.

Why is the use of term "butt-hurt" on increase on HN? Does this lend weight in any meaningful way and not leave a bad taste in mouth.

There is a great post on r/bitcoin on this topic by Erik Voorhees. He talks about the value of network which gives bitcoin its value. A great read: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1rxmk3/my_open_lett...

Is ad the only means a free product can survive at scale like Google, Facebook and Twitter? Free services (of good quality of bad) entice users to use their service and trap them into their cage for advertisers to peek at.

This is an amazing feat with Rust being a modern open alternative to C! So far many have tried and failed. Rust developers have learned well and Rust seems to be on right track.

In a parallel, HG Wells too imagined a society with two diverged class of human species. One serves as the prey and other as predator.

Is data about spammers made available publicly at Mailgun for example to Spamhaus?

Looks strikingly similar to Mozilla's XUL and XBL for web. They were far too ahead of their time.

With Firefox and Tizen OS the dream of web first should move closer to reality. Count on Mozilla to move the web forward!

This approach is the key to get things right on mobile. Because of its roots, common web development focuses on desktop first and mobile second. This usually means that we do: `loadContent(); if mobile: loadMobileContent();`. Instead we should build for mobile first and load desktop content when we encounter one: `loadContent(); if desktop: loadDesktopContent();`

Email has been the identity backbone for a long time. Persona supports multiple emails. This makes maintaining multiple identities even easier. A great alternative to identity trackers.

Nice post. Last day, I had to search around to remove a submodule. This would have helped.

To add to the post, `git submodule foreach` command is invaluable when there are multiple submodules added to one project.

SpaceX amazes us with every launch. They have been innovating by using technology that is cheap but easy to scale. Google did that when they were young.
