I get the same error. It looks like they need to put the import from google functionality as a background service.

Would love to hear Dave's experiences with moving the backend from ruby to golang, can you make sure he does actually publish those blog articles?

we may or may not have forgotten to rsync that binary to a new web server we started up.

We've just patched that up so the firefox nightly will now work. Sorry about that!

We're going to stick with 3 months for now, our idea being that we want to keep costs low so the product is pretty affordable to everyone.

We're still debating how the UX for configuration will look, as soon as we figure it out then we can start work on that :)

Nothing too fancy with the overlay, just some good old fashioned javascript + css. Seems like lots of people are interested so we'll whip up a blog post for everyone.

Sure, not everyone will want to install our agent and people using services like Heroku or AppHarbour wont be able to so we're working on a solution for that right now. Having an agent was the best way for us to launch and show off the features we are trying to push like real-time updates and historical zooming.

Thanks very much, we're busy adding support for more languages right now and Python / Django is at the top of the list.

This is largely a theoretical argument that we hackers like to bring up as a way to dismis the tor network.

The truth that we all learned after the lulsec debacle was that the FBI will resort to much simpler and more effective low-tech procedures to spy on their prey.

I really like this new model but it got me thinking about how hard it's going to be for Aziz to push his content to different types of media. Traditionally the labels would handle that (usually incompetently) but for a startup to focus on this niche would be awesome.

I agree, this release will make mono a lot more attractive to windows developers.

Can't wait to see some mono based asp.net mvc apps built with this new version

garrydanger | 17 years ago | on: What Major Ethical Challenges Will We Face in the next 100 Years Because of Tech?

Ever since I first watched "ghost in the shell" years ago I've been a bit scared of a time when we will be able to plug our brain into a computer network... with the risk of getting it hacked.

I mean, you could always refuse to jack yourself in but I doubt I could.

why run solaris at all when there is only 2 remote holes in the default install of openbsd?

garrydanger | 17 years ago | on: Ask YC: Where's the escape hatch? I'd like to leave the US, but to where?

Don't the same laws that apply to Scotland also apply to England and Northen Ireland seeings as they are all states inside of the United Kingdom?
