This is exactly the type of bullshit I'm talking about when I try to stress privacy to people I know and they think I'm a lunatic. Most people don't want to hear what "could" happen, only what has happened in the past.
I was really hoping this project would be legislation voting and tracking for the people. I vaguely remember a project from 5 or so years ago that was called Open Gov based around legislation. Did OpenGov pivot? Maybe it was called something else.
If you've ever worked for or with a government entity, you'd find that saving time or money isn't a priority. In fact, departments try to spend as much as their budget as possible for fear they won't get as much next year.
I didn't have cable tv in college back in 2005. We used rabbit ears. I went without cable tv for 8 or 9 years and subscribed a year or two ago. I look back and I'm glad at the money I saved. I was blown away when HD antenna was introduced. The antenna is really underrated nowadays. I'd love to see it make a comeback.
Student loan debt surpassed credit card and auto loan debt in the US last year. Many college grads graduate with large sums of debt and can't find relevant jobs. Since student loan debt isn't forgivable, it'll be interesting to see the effect of this over the next decade. I have a hunch that the next big market crash will be caused by student loan debt.
Every time I read about living off the grid, I think about Ted Carns. He's done incredible things in off-grid living. If you've never heard of him, check out this documentary:
Excellent example, thanks! Looks like that has a dependency on React. I'm currently trying out Angular but I'll give this a shot too.
Going with the native Canvas API is where I'm heading. I've used RaphaelJS in the past. This week I've tested out PaperJS and FabricJS. I'm trying to save some time and code manageability with a framework.
I'd imagine you'd want something good enough to be able to read license plates in case of a hit and run.
If I had the spare cash for 2 cams, I'd set them up on my motorcycle for insurance purposes. I've heard too many stories about motorcyclists getting hit and being blamed for the accidents. Or even worse, hit and runs. In the age of cell phones, distracted driving is the norm. I almost get hit by someone almost weekly. I really need some cameras soon :(
That's a pretty generic canned response. While I'm interested in your "proprietary technologies," I'm more interested in how you plan on physically buying the tickets. Are there APIs for purchasing lotto tickets? Good luck.
How is something like this scalable with a large amount of users? Will couriers be spending hours buying tickets at convenience stores?
Although it'll never happen, I wish the US would adopt siestas.
Could anyone point me to some sentiment analysis frameworks and/or update the list to include some?
I wonder how a site like this fits in with the right to be forgotten:
Here's a good article about Civil Forfeiture written by Pennsylvania State Rep Jim Cox:

No one is going to steal your idea. Besides, an idea without execution is nothing. If you've been down this road before, you'll know from experience that it'll take every ounce of energy of shoving your idea down peoples throats before they start paying attention.
I have an old nexus I don't use often and would like to attempt this. Anyone know of any good mirror suppliers in the south jersey/philadelphia area?
I don't think this is as much of an issue as being portrayed. I've hiked 2 sections of the AT this summer and found no trash in either of them. I could see certain parts like the beginning and ending being worse, which would be expected. Designated camping spots weren't overcrowded. Besides cheeky motivational sayings written over trail markers, everything in both sections were pristine.
How about only pulling messages and users from within your zoomed-in map bounds?
The leekspin is getting annoying.
If you think technical expertise is enough to throw Feds off your trail, you are sorely mistaken.
But you have the choice to use or not use those sites. You also have the ability to block those things. You can't block government surveillance.
This would be great to integrate into the leg of my jeans so I can change my music while riding my motorcycle. I'll be following this project.
You don't know what you don't know.
I'd like to add one that's great for turning the web into a query-able database: HtmlAgilityPack. HtmlAgilityPack + Linq is amazing.

I went to Startup School in New York last year and saw moot there. While outside between presentations, someone in the crowd called out "Chris, Chris Poole!" and some other memes at him. He seemed really put off by it and hightailed it out of there. I'd imagine he gets that often and could understand how that could be draining.
I had used HockeyApp for 3 months while testing my current set of mobile apps. I had used it to test an iPhone app and it was terribly painful. Those pains were mostly from Apple's end though. Once I had found out Apple bought TestFlight, I canceled my HockeyApp subscription. Does anyone have any input on the comparison of HockeyApp and Play Store beta testing for the testing process of android apps?
Such amazingly convenient timing. I just picked up my droid app I paused on working on. Definitely going to give this a shot. Thanks for posting!
Microsoft is so hot right now!
