Came here for the 3D printing of unicorn animals using lasers. Disappointing.

Having been involved with chargebacks from both the consumer and company perspective, for the company, it can be really frustrating when customers chargeback without ever trying to contact you.

Often, the company is happy to rectify the situation if you contact them, because like you said, chargebacks can be expensive per transaction.

In my experience, sometimes consumers will run a chargeback even for legitimate purchases. For example, a spouse will run through a credit card statement and do a chargeback if they don't recognize a purchase, without even checking with their partner. Then, the credit card company often sides with the consumer despite evidence, and if you sold a tangible good, you're SOL.

My dad's life was saved 10 years ago via a bone marrow transplant from an English woman. He was being treated for Leukemia.

Thanks for promoting this cause!

Health care and dental care providers tend to still like faxes. It's still a thing, unfortunately.

If you're OK with using a third-party and would rather stick to GUI's, Virtru is a very easy solution for email encryption: https://www.virtru.com/

Too bad. Being in Columbus, 3 hours from Pittsburgh, I'd love to road trip there just to try a self-driving Uber. But not sure I would if you have no way of dependably hailing one.

Yea, I agree with this one as well. Hire slowly; fire fast. But, even if it's fast, firing wastes a bunch of time for a bunch of people.

Missing out on a good one sucks, but in the best relationships both sides will wait for the right timing if necessary, in my experience.

I noticed it on here last night (ET) between news of Grove's death and the Brussels bombing. Not trying to be pedantic, but it definitely seems to be in honor of Andy Grove.

Also an Aptible customer, went down a similar route from Heroku to Aptible. Like it so far!

Also have had impressively short conversations with SaaS product companies after the acronym HIPAA or BAA is brought up.

Yea, I was using Github for Mac previously, and all of my non-Github projects ported over to the Github Desktop app. Like the other reply said, you just have to manually clone and the 'Add' it.

How did you handle getting your browser to talk to a server running on a different port? (Cross-origin requests).

I used that gem recently, and it fixed my issue. Just added the dev, prod hostnames explicitly in the origins list in my application.rb.

Geez, just a joke guys

Misleading title... Definitely read this as a version of GitHub software that works on Windows 2.0 (as in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_2.0).

Read more carefully.

"Of course, this will vary from company to company. Facetime wasn’t valued at the big company I worked at, for instance."

I have to agree with this for the most part, coming from the startup side.

I'm on my second startup (started at age 23), both of which I was unfortunately the most senior, and at times, the only developer.

There are often times that I wish I had a more established structure around me to facilitate learning the lessons it takes you a while to learn on your own.

That said, before I was in a startup, I also found that I sometimes had a habit of asking too many questions of more senior guys at my mid-sized company. The negative side of this is that not going through the paces of learning those things on my own, I started to feel like I was missing out on developing the critical thinking skills that it takes to learn those things on my own. I was skeptical that I wouldn't be able to move into a role with nobody else to lean on all the time.

After being the most senior guy at a startup for a few years (except for the occasional times when I've contracted with people who have 5+ years more experience), it's helped me develop the problem solving skills that I'm not sure I would have with a resource working right next to me. The lessons are harder won, but sometimes it can be more satisfying to come up with that continuing education on your own (and, well, with the help of the internet).

You can attach photos in Hangouts. I do so on iOS and desktop all the time.

Also if you look at the page, you can see you can change who you share the check-in with. It's just like Facebook app integrations: you can switch the share settings to "only me" if you want a private check-in if you're worried about spamming others.

ChromeCast worked with my iOS devices immediately on release. Google craps on competitor stuff a lot less than others do.

"minor fender benders"

The second crash in Mexico definitely was not. “This was a significant accident where the car was traveling at such a high speed that it smashed through a concrete wall and then hit a large tree, yet the driver walked away from the car with no permanent injury.”

I have the Yoga 13, and I liked the tablet configuration option a lot. I'd use it more if there were more nice Windows 8 Metro apps, but I imagine that'll come with time.

Why is "Mobile _____" overly specific, but something like "JavaScript Developer" or "SEO Specialist" isn't? Responsive design/developing could definitely fall under "Front End Developer", but I feel like it's as focused a title as some of the other ones.
