From Reddit 28 days ago (http://www.reddit.com/r/rails/comments/1ysbdb/any_news_about...):

"I am a friend of Ryan's, and know his dad as well. I haven't talked to Ryan directly, but his dad assures me Ryan is doing very well, and has just been on a very much needed break. He also does plan to return to Railscasts."

Is there a 'pending mention' for the author of the comment ?

That might increase by a lot the number of new account created by people who don't want to wait to comment.

French living in the US here(California). I had to go to the general practitioner and I still don't understand how they can come up with prices as high as $400 when it cost me 22 euros back home for the exact same service.

Also my insurance company in France would rather pay for my flight ticket to go back home instead of going to the hospital in the US.

I've been in the US for almost 2 years now and it still puzzle me that I had to pay for STD test(!) and I still don't understand the US healthcare system.

Buildzoom.com - San Francisco, CA (INTERN no, Remote/H1B no) Buildzoom is a YC company, we raised our seed money about a year ago (http://techcrunch.com/2013/06/25/yc-backed-contractor-direct...) and are thinking about series A, probably in 6 months.

Our team is fairly small (Only 6!) and mostly tech (4 ppl). We share our office with 3 other YC company. It's less than a block away from the Montgomery Bart station. There are plenty of restaurants to eat for lunch and bars for after works.

We often have poker night with other YC folks.

We are hiring for 4 differents positions.(http://www.buildzoom.com/jobs):

- Front-End Developer

- Customer Relationship Manager

- Remodeling Broker

- Economic Analyst/Journalist

Our team is pretty awesome and very talented. If you're in the Bay Area and are interested, come say hi!

So far so good: It's fast, accurate and readable.

The response time is actually really impressive!

but then you can sneak in between the train and the walls and then commit suicide.

With the 'Japanese system' you're 100% right sir.

However I believe there is at least another solution doable for commuter trains in the us. It is not that hard and not that expensive to have a sliding panel who opens in front of the doors.

But what probably matters here is that cost of a dead human < cost of new system to protect human lives. So as long as this is the case they won't change it.

> so driving [...] if required through the attackers would be totally reasonable

Absolutely not, doing so might kill one of them and it's a crime(Article 221-1 in the french law).

Not trying to advocate violence here, but few broken windows works better than wearing black armband.

This is how it seems to work in this country. Nobody will ever pay attention to some quiet, peaceful and respectful protesters, but as soon as things are getting dirty, then medias are all in and people/politics are actually talking/thinking about it.

This is indeed unfortunate, but as a matter of fact it works

Ton of people are downloading music and movies without paying, and no one challenge them. Does that mean it's legal ?

I don't think they care about it being legal. All they want is media attention and people talking about it. It works.

Too bad you don't accept email like foo.bar+something@gmail.com

I just made a couple research and some of my pictures are also being use in some mobile apps/websites.

Does anyone has a tool to check if pictures are being hosted somewhere else ? I don't want to run 100 queries on google.

Credit/Debit Card can be replaced on the spot at some bank.

Jack Dorsey only own 4.9% and Christopher Isaac "Biz" Stone own less than 1%, they got diluted pretty bad.

Please someone code it.

No they dont. The link just says, github is down, nothing else, an interesting news would be a link to the twitter post.

How is this an interesting news ?

Because my comment isn't clear. This is not an interesting news. A link to the twitter status or the github status (https://status.github.com/messages) would be relevant in that case. not just some link to a third party telling us it's down. Yeah thank you. I could have notice it on my own....

Any recommendations and best practices to encrypt data ?

Yes I am referring to the rap scene. My bad.

You would be surprise how many services/website store passwords in plaintext. Here is a none exhaustive shame-list: http://plaintextoffenders.com

http://www.scholarvox.com used by many many schools/universities in France(Europe ?) are also storing plaintext passwords and the worse is that they store the passwords provided by the universities, the exact same one used by the students to connect to their intranet/emails/...

I was thinking the same thing until I watched a documentary about France's Toughest Rappers. And unfortunately I know very well the rape scene and this documentary was nothing but a big joke: Lies, bullshit, ...

So know I'm a bit suspicious.

This already exist(In Europe at least) http://www.ovh.co.uk/dedicated_servers/kimsufi.xml And for even cheaper

Even more simple. When you find a bug tell the dev(s).

It's sometimes frustrating to find out a bug that has been around for ever and drove users crazy but no one ever signaled it.

Edit: The first project I ever contributed was phpBB. It was years ago. I never coded before, so I was moderating the community and then I learned how to code. Sometimes, It's not all about coding.

Unfortunately and it's sad but don't believe in this for a minute.

Thank you ! I'll forward the feedback to our UI/UX guy !

In the terms and conditions, we're explaining Cookening is the third party. That's also why we're using a payment system that makes the money go directly from user to user, even if payment is made on our website.

That said, our job is also to make sure everything goes well, and if something happens, we'll have to handle it.

Thanks for the feedback! It means we have to improve the FAQ on this part.

Hosts cook and eat with their guests, so it's a very good way to be sure about the quality: First because hosts eat it as well, second because they'll have a direct feedback, and it's not very pleasant to serve bad food to people when they're eating with you.

In fact, we think there's a fear of a risk more than a real risk. There's less risk to eat something that has been cooked at home, in smal quantities, than something in a big restaurant with food that has stayed in a fridge for several weeks...

Actually, have you often been sick when invited by friend or family?

Reviews we're doing are based on information provided by hosts (description, pictures), as well as email or phone contact if needed. And the review system will help. Risk averse foodies will eat with hosts with no reviews, less risk averse will go to hosts that already have a good reputation on the system.

This is a very good remark. That's the reason why we have this three notes : food, place and hospitality. As you see, we're asking guests to review the hospitality, not the person.

As always, it is very important to us that guest expectations before any booking are the right ones: hosts do not commit on serving food like in a restaurant, they commit it is home made, they commit on a meal structure (number of courses) and they'll respect food specifics mentionned by their guests.
