Great to see you and other work on rust-lang. It looks like a great open community!

non-sense | 11 years ago | on: Show HN: Monitorbook – Easily track anything on the web
Nice website. Do you have plans to release an extension or an app for this? I have been using Distill Chrome extension[1] to monitor pages with dynamic content with pages that require authentication.

Oh Gosh! The oversimplification is mind boggling. Being an ecommerce and payments website they should have been very clear about the impact this breach has on our privacy. Angry.

If introduced and passed, this will be huge deal for Bitcoin!

In a was I liked that the interview did not focus in one particular direction. It had nuggets of wisdom spread all over!

Perhaps we are reading too much into what he is saying. I could see his enthusiasm and hope that 3D printing and associated toolchain is going to bring to us.
non-sense | 12 years ago | on: Elon Musk to publish hyperloop design by August
This is an interesting point of view.
What I gathered from this is that the magnitude of this project is BIG. This will mean that it will involve more than one entity to participate and hence the need to keep it open.

In this case he has promised: "Will publish Hyperloop as open source." I didn't see a catch here.
In the same context, SpaceX have not applied for many patents when compared to the work they are doing. However in this case the prime motive could be keep the tech secret.

Classy! https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/356779314043305985
"I really hate patents unless critical to company survival. Will publish Hyperloop as open source."

Media sites are painful to visit with so many libraries and embedded widgets. Those pages load much faster after using Noscript to selectively load JS. Wish there was a built in repository where people could share whitelists.

This is very neat and useful. Thanks for creating and sharing! Good to see new works coming from Tehran. IIRC, it was itro.js. Keep it up!
non-sense | 13 years ago | on: Atoms star in world's smallest movie from IBM
It is incredible to think how we can control atoms so precisely! This shows how nascent this science is and we have to go a long way. Once precise nano-control becomes more widespread we will see a new wave of engineering delivering goods that we thought were possible only in movies. At very high storage densities everyone of us could carry the same amount of data that powers Google's search engines.

Boredom is when we let our mind run free, in search of things that would be interesting to us. If our mind is occupied with distractions, it becomes harder to focus.
non-sense | 13 years ago | on: Embrace, extend, extinguish: How Google crushed and abandoned the RSS industry
In a way, isn't it good that Google has discontinued Google Reader. It gives chance to other small players to grow and focus solely on improving their RSS reader?
Yes, it was unfair to their users that they were left out suddenly. But I am sure they will find good alternatives.

Explicit actions would have been better.

Can the control over domain names be decentralized to prevent it be single point of failure? Bitcoin may do it for curreny.
.onion pseudo TLD may be the first step in evolution. But the names are 16-bit hashes making it too long and complex.

I had a different point of view. It showed that the community empathizes.

Pressing ESC key stops the tour. An explicit action visible to the user to cancel the "trip" should be better.
