How is this a win when it is coupled with the changes to healthcare that could adversely affect millions? Once again it looks as if super wealthy America is out of touch with the masses.

doctl author here. The server isn't unknown, that's its name. This project was a private effort, and this component will be migrated to TLS and a DO domain on Monday. In the mean time, you can create a configuration file at $HOME/.doctlcfg (which is yaml formatted) and add an entry `access-token: <your access token>`, and you won't need to run `doit auth login`.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that probably isn't true. All go at DigitalOcean is deployed using one of two mechanisms. Nothing is `go run` outside of a developer's workstation.

Why not start your comment, "Hello. I agree with your points. I'd also like to add ..."?

This is the same Freese who has proposed detecting dark matter using gold and DNA. I have no idea if she is right or wrong, but reading about this kind of researching is exciting to me.

The software is an important part of this, but I'm more interested in seeing what new types of hardware will run this OS. The watch concept is only neat to me right now.

It definitely feels like Android is ripe to bust the confines of the phone and move in to other parts of our lives. The work that Qualcomm is putting in their Snapdragon platform is evidence of this.

The drones would be autonomous. According to the 60 Minutes piece, it sounds like it is five years out. With a 10 mile radius, this could be an interesting proposition.

Isn't this what analytic packages are for? The app receiving the push message on your phone could anonymously provide analytics back to the server and with that knowledge alone, they know you are using it. Also additional analytics can be provided to see if you actually open the app.

Ruby doesn't have great support for math, science or AI. There are projects out there trying to make the ecosystem better, but currently it trails Python.

Speaking as a black person, I can see cases where racist tweets would have been flagged, but weren't really racist. A black person (in some circles) could say, "Damn, that nigger Obama was reelected!" Is this racist? In this case, the use of "nigger" could be a term of endearment. It would have still been flagged during this survey.

I've taken walks through Baltimore. Unfortunately an oppressed people will lash out at those who they think are oppressing them. You could have never performed any ill acts to those black men who beat you, but to them, you represent the reason why they think they can't get ahead. It's not right, but it is a reality.

Also, please don't support your views with the, "I have black friends" excuse. It doesn't help your cause.

I believe those numbers matched up to the his Ignite slides. 20 slides at 15 seconds a piece. He wasn't thumbing his nose at anything.

I believe that programmers shouldn't have to work support "sometime in their life", they should be working it at their current position. Sometimes it is all too easy to throw the problems over the fence to a tech ops (fancy name for sysadmins?) or the even worse -- the dreaded app support team. Having to live with the decisions your code makes can hopefully only make it better.
