Are there any plans to include location metadata for merchants with a physical presence?

This is incredibly interesting, and something I wouldn't have thought much of before becoming a parent.
Since our son was able to speak, he was able to vocalize when we were near a family member's house (I saw this weekly as we drove from the San Francisco Peninsula up into the city). I was always curious what triggered him to know "we're nearby". We passed several unique structures (overpasses, apartment buildings, signs) but I was incredibly curious which ones he associated with being nearby this particular relative.
Eventually when he was a little older, and we asked, he was able to say a specific color building "told him" he was close. Super interesting. Child development and understanding in itself is so amazing to watch.
Every step of the way they were scheming how to get to feature films -- everything in between sounds like a means for resources (money, hardware, people, so on so forth).
Currently reading The Pixar Touch by David A. Price and they talk a lot about the types of software and standards for rendering they had to create over the years. Incredibly interesting looking back at what they were able to achieve. A talented crew for sure.

Looks like this was just announced today from Twilio: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11763067
Could be a great pairing.
I immediately checked for that level of scope when they announced it, my post was merely a "this would be pretty amazing for security conscious end-users" not "this part of the API is cool" -- a wishlist item have you.
If they can combine this ease of accessibility for developers with a security model on the end-user side, I think it can be a solid win.
I'd love to see granularity in what the API can access, for example, TripIt may request something like "Grant access to emails from the domain travelocity.com, usairways.com, etc.," and I can know with confidence that they will not have access to the rest of my inbox.
When I first started work out of college I kept a notebook of "things I like/don't like" about my managers, mostly as a training piece for myself. One of the top qualities one of my managers had was his comfort level with admitting to me "I don't know the answer to that, but I think I know where we can find it".
Probably summed up as something like "check your ego at the door". This goes for not only managers, but any member of an organization -- pretending to know something when you really don't and being afraid to ask questions is a huge red flag to me for both managers and employees alike.
And back to the list, IMO that's a pretty good list, especially coming from one person's experiences.
One of the bigger takeaways from this article should be to make a decision of where to set layout parameters, and stick with it. I'm sure we all have opinions on using the in-code method vs IB, and can debate 'till the end of time. As a relatively new iOS dev picking up an existing codebase, the biggest thing I could say is be consistent. The number of times I tried setting something in code only to find it was being changed in IB is far too many.
Short answer? Yes. It has nothing to do with Codecademy though, it has to do with the fact that they were ambitious enough and had the drive to learn to code, and pursue it via some means (in this case, Codecademy). That speaks volumes. Of course they'd be put through the same screening as anyone else applying for the role, so it's not like you're hiring someone that does not have the appropriate skillset for the job.
Frustrating...didn't think of this before posting, sorry to those of you who get the "Sorry..." Maybe give TunnelBear a try? It's a free VPN service capped @ 500MB / month I think.
The recommended solution from support was to zip my file first, then upload -- unfortunately this breaks my workflow.
Very much reminds me of Quirky for Apps -- AFAIK Quirky is doing really well. Congrats on the launch guys!
I made this mistake on iOS6, and swore I wouldn't let it happen again with 7 -- simple instructions, yet so easy to forget you need to move from beta -> release.
https://iwantmyname.com -- I've used it a few times before, gets the job done.
Good call on the other groups. We're lucky enough to have @idangazit designing ours, so I believe they'll turn out alright =p
You can easily do AuthBasic in nginx with a user file
I remember seeing similar behavior trying to do testing in a cafe using a Verizon MiFi over LTE. I called up their support staff and they tried to blame the problem on me saying they don't block anything, it must be on my end...typical.
I can't say I've ever noticed this feature before on Dropbox. I came across it while searching for the correct use of the word/term packrat (with or without hyphen). Nice use of the word on Dropbox's part.
Fortunately I haven't had to use the cattle prod yet, everyone here was a Mac user since before we started. We find tools that work for everyone, it just so happened to be some were Mac specific, over time I'm sure this list will morph quite a bit.
Interesting looking tool, I'll definitely take a look. Finding a time that works every day for scrum becomes difficult across timezones, it seems there's always someone that "loses".
Whoops! Neglected this one. Google hangouts definitely help us when we need more than the 1-on-1 allowed via Facetime.
These are just a few of the tools that help us work together, even when we aren't all in one location. Caveat, the apps, AFAIK, are Mac specific.
tl;dr -- use flutterapp.com to detect head position for article scrolling
Sometimes it's hard to understand what problem something solves because you may not be in the target market/demographic.
Pinterest? I have a large number of friends that have used Pinterest to help come up with ideas for apartments, weddings, etc., Previously the only place they could look for inspiration was through online searches or magazines.
Skype? How did you call overseas <edit>for free</edit> prior to Skype? I was able to do it with my Ham Radio license, but for that I had to take a test and buy equipment -- with Skype you just had to install an application and you could run with it.
As for the other game categories, I agree with John, entertainment has a huge demand with a market that seems to be ready for the next exciting game at every corner, Angry Birds and Little Wings filled that demand.
Really interesting, would be even better if it parsed my SSH config file. Interested to see how this progresses.
It looks like that's how they're doing it since they have the caveat of "may receive messages from txt@textbelt.com" As for the open source comment -- they're probably running a carrier lookup on the numbers via another API on the back-end, so that dependency on another service doesn't make it as straightforward as just open sourcing it.
I doubt very many people find it strange -- just because you have revenue, or are profitable, does not mean you're "in the clear". Companies typically raise additional capital so they can accelerate their growth. Your assumption that companies only raise because they aren't cash-flow positive is misguided.
You might want to take a look into using something like twill (instead of requests) and BeautifulSoup instead of pyquery -- twill in particular will allow more control over cookies, etc.,
