Women did not serve in combat roles during World War 2. There was about ten times as many men in the military than women at that time.

This is why I'm excited for VR. Now that equipment like Oculus Rift is going mainstream, there's an opportunity to move beyond managing "windows" to managing "objects", e.g. taking a phone call would not affect the notes you were arranging on the virtual desk in front of you. Current generation phones are trapped by the limited screen size of a handheld device.

Even worse than being disrupted would be if my phone started trying to guess what I was intending. "It looks like you're writing a letter."

If moving the project to a new server is not feasible, then how does the client backup their data?

I refuse to work on projects that cannot be installed from scratch in a local VM.

I would set up a free Heroku application and provide SSL and caching by redirecting it through CloudFlare.

I host a lot of static websites like this.

The article is missing an important piece of information: can you buy a drink at the bar with it?

Perhaps this is too far outside of your existing scope of functionality but I'll throw it out there: I would really love a "Hacker News Alerts" feature. I make the same searches every week on a few key terms but it's a manual process.

If you could push new search results directly to my inbox it would be convenient.

Big payment processors like Stripe are storing your full credit card number forever whether you choose to "Remember me" or not.

The checkbox is whether you want to be able to pay again without retyping it.

They're going to trade Bitcoin under the NASDAQ symbol COIN. I love it!
