I thought painting on copper sounded like a good argument. There were some good points made.

Seems heavily inspired by / very similar to Slack though. A lot of features in common. Slack allows you to post and comment on files but doesn't support versioning yet.

Are you trying to be a Slack replacement with better file handling or is it meant to be used alongside apps like slack?

The Hit List, a list app for OS X and iOS did this a while ago. I actually stopped using the app for years because of the fee but looking again now, the syncing service has been made free and is included with subscriptions!

> Unfortunately, in the first 24 hours of coming online, a coordinated attack by a subset of people exploited a vulnerability in Tay.

I think it just didn't get a coordinated attack like this. I'd guess this type of attack needs to happen close to launch to be a high percentage of it's interactions to influence it so strongly.

Doesn't seem like there's much value in linkedin premium for non-recruiters and the recruiters certainly aren't complaining about spammy practices.

Same thing in SF, startups renting the bottom of duplexes.

The key is the same size as the message. Each letter translates the corresponding letter and no others. You could make a key to translate the message to anything with the same number of letters.

Bitbucket provides those. I use it professionally because I like all my stuff in one place and that's where I keep my free private repos.

I do that whether or not I have a boss that cares. It's easy to feel judged by people walking behind you glancing at your screen. A little privacy is amazing.

> This same lamp could simply have a wire between the carbon and zinc, with an on-off switch

Seems unlikely that there's no trade off to this, can anyone confirm? Also, it has an on-off switch.

Sites require you to sign up but it won't matter much if someone gains access to your account on them. Those might as well share a password. Same with sites that share trust buckets like [goodreads, yelp], [facebook, twitter] etc.

In the real world though just memorize separate bank and email passes and use a password manager w/generated passwords for everything else.

It's code notebooks, not an idea chart. It's evernote for programmers which is something a lot of people need since all the evernote-esque tools suck at handling code.

I brainstorm at a keyboard fwiw. Different strokes.
