Should be fixed now, I hit rate limiting issues upstream.

Should be fixed!

Should be fixed. Minor hug-of-death with CMS rate limits

I started a company, that has taken all of my focus. Fair point.

Posted below, but:

Creator here - thanks for bringing this up. I was concerned about the message here as well. I'm not getting paid for that ad. I had a couple companies offer sponsorship of this list, but I decided to not pursue. In the end, 1Password simply offered this discount to visitors. For me this felt like the best thing I could do from a user experience point of view (switching to a password manager is hard for most people, and giving the extra nudge to do something really important for their online security might just do the trick) and from an ethical point of view (I'm not getting paid, and will continue adding competing password managers to the list).

Creator here: PR has been opened :) https://github.com/brianlovin/security-checklist/pull/46

Open a PR! This list is far from complete.

I thought about buying privacycheckli.st at the same time and pointing it here, but ended up deciding that "security" feels like a broader umbrella and might reasonable capture privacy concerns of an average person.

Creator here: glad someone opened an issue to add Linux, sorry this was missing in v1! Will get it landed shortly :)

We do have the concept of channels within communities. Channels can also be optionally private.

Hey there - if you selected 'private' during the community creation flow, everything in that community will be private. However, there will still exist the concept of "public" and "private" channels, however those scopes are still constrained by the community settings. For example, a private community with a public general channel means everyone who has access to the community can see those conversations. But if you have a private channel in a private community, only a subset of authorized community members will be able to see those threads.

Hey, co-founder here. We've really been focused on threaded, public-by-default, search-indexed conversations. We've found this to be super helpful for large, async communities so far, and the search-indexing is really great for organic discovery and preventing too many duplicate questions that someone might ask in a synchronous chat app. But we also support private communities, private channels, direct messages, public community/user profiles, and more. We've seen these things be really useful for content and community discovery.

Thanks for the kind words! For reference, we open sourced everything back in April: https://spectrum.chat/spectrum/general/announcement-spectrum...

Author here, thanks for submitting! This post was a lot of fun to write, having been an iOS users for 7 years now. Hope everyone out there is enjoying it as well :)

Thanks for the feedback! I've heard the contrast come up a couple times, and definitely seems like something I could improve :)

Thanks for the feedback! This is something I've been constantly working on, and this comment is totally fair :) Also, the contrast mention below has come up a time or two before so it sounds like something I should fix up.

Aesthetics aside, I hope that the podcast sounds interesting! We're very excited to get things started.

$2.5b revenue in Q12014. ~$321 revenue per second. A costly outage, no?

Yep, thanks for including Buffer here (I designed this pricing page) - there's lots of improvements to be made here which will be coming soon :)

Feels like there's a fine line between having a negative attitude about a new product and exposing real weaknesses - whether those are weaknesses in the product itself, or the market within which it falls. Probably nothing wrong with exposing weaknesses, as long as its done in the context of "here's what's wrong, and my idea of how it could be fixed or improved."

I agree with your assessment though, the Nest post this morning really was quite 'over the top' so to say, as far as negativity goes.

This, this so much. I just turned 21 years old, and at my age I already have pretty significant tinnitus. Two underlying reasons:

1. Concerts without earplugs

2. Over-ear headphones

I think people get really into the headphones and want to 'feel' the bass of the music, much in the same way concerts are amazing because you can 'feel the sound.' This usually results in music playing too loud for 4-8 hours per day. Add that up over time and you'll find yourself like me, having to use sound machines every night and during working hours just so I can tune out the ever-persistent ringing in my ears.

This post got me thinking about brands I know -

Fast food seems to really prefer warm colors (red, orange and yellow) - think, McDonalds, Wendy's, Subway, KFC, Dominos, Burger King, Jack in the Box, Sonic etc. This correlates with the post, where red = energy + creating urgency while yellow = optimistic and youthful.

Fast food: making customers energized and in a rush since the color red.

Alcohol for some reason really loves pure black or pure white (I'm thinking to tv commercials with black backgrounds and the slow-motion alcohol pours). Again, great correlation here in the post where black = luxury/power.

But thinking to my own personal experience with design, Leo's quote stands out to me:

"Despite all the studies, generalizations are extremely hard to make. Whatever change you make, treat it first as a hypothesis, and see an the actual experiment what works for you."

It seems to me like a blue/orange combo has become one of the most-used color schemes for startups (correlation to movie posters? http://www.slashfilm.com/orangeblue-contrast-in-movie-poster...)

The title of this is really, really misleading.

The first paragraph:

This white paper sets forth a legal framework for the...use [of] lethal force in a foreign country outside the area of active hostilities against an American citizen who is a senior operational leader of al-Qa'ida

I'm a college student, and while I've never seen first-hand a situation like this, I can attest to the widespread casual use and sale of adderall on campus. During finals last December, I was offered a pill more times than I can remember, just $5 or $10 bucks a pop.

I don't think I knew anyone that was actually diagnosed with ADHD that was taking the pill to study. Some of my close friends joked about how easy it was to lie to the doctor about your symptoms. Most of them got a prescription on their first visit.

Looking at LinaLauneBaer's comment shows that there's always two sides to a story, that sometimes these drugs can be a godsend. But I'm going to side with the NY Times on this - adderall is really, really easy to get ahold of on a college campus. It's a casual use study-enhancer that dictates sleeping, eating and reading habits for kids during that final crunch week of each semester.

I'm thankful nobody I know has endured anything worse than temporary dependence.

I've been putting this off for far too long - thanks for the guide!

I found SA quite a while back as a plugin for my shopify store. I started using them right away to track weekly and monthly sales for my store. I was really impressed with how easy SumAll was to use, but never really bothered to visit the site because they sent out gorgeous weekly emails with all the information I needed.

So finding this here is really wonderful. I'm happy to see them moving beyond just tracking sales and on to tracking me. I've hooked up my FB, Instagram, Twitter, Analytics and Shopify information for now.

It was great to work with Hartley on the second project in this article, Mvsic. Too bad things didn't work out, but so many lessons learned.

I have 5 email accounts for various side projects - one for all my personal emails, one for a blog that I run where I receive user submissions, one for a product I'm working on now that receives notifications of all new sign-ups and payments. Things like that.

I know Gmail lets me pull all those into one inbox with account importing, but there's a limit on those too. Maybe it's just time for me to simplify all my accounts :/

Don't get me wrong - v2.0 is vastly better than the last version. I guess I just check multiple accounts frequently enough that the three taps it takes to switch inboxes is a bit of a drag.

I finally reinstalled now that they support multiple accounts - but really? No unified inbox? Sparrow still has a leg-up, in my opinion, despite being out of the dev cycle for a few months now.
