Towerfall is also on the PS4.

You don't have to apologize. It is difficult to project the correct tone with text and I'd much rather feel a a bit sad and be corrected then to remain ignorant.

It has been over an hour and based on the reaction threads I've read I still think the vast majority of people are "insane".

I am glad that you are satisfied with this response and it brought you back to GitHub. You are one of the open-minded ones. I probably could stand to be a bit more open-minded myself.

I'm glad to hear that. My first sentence was hyperbolic and should have been toned down.

You're right. It was a hyperbolic statement which was going exactly against what I was arguing about. I should have edited it.

And unfortunately this will change no one's opinion. GitHub got tried in the court of public opinion and was sacrificed.

Short of having audio or video or evidence those who backed GitHub feel vindicated, those who backed Julie Ann Horvath will see this as the "Mad Men" culture of Silicon Valley exercising their muscle to supress the story. The small but sane few in-between who were waiting for the full story will never get it because the other two sides are just going to throw hyperbole until the cows come home.

I wonder if we will ever be able to have a sane conversation about the "sexism in the Valley" or the fact that it concerns itself with something that is so technologically intrenched the mob mentality of the Internet will always draw centre stage.

You can also just create a category on UIView that defines a property which could store a object.

@property (nonatomic, strong) id context;

or

@property (nonatomic, weak) id context;

if you are sure the context will always exist.

I have a fear about moving to the US not because I would "lose" my Canadian health care or that the company I went to work for wouldn't have a generous health plan but the fact that I have to care about it AT ALL.

The idea that at any point in time something could happen and I could lose my health plan and I am now at incredible risk scares me.

They have potential access to the password manager on his Mac as well.

If you use a good password manager you should have the time to reset all your password so that if they somehow manager to crack the manager all the passwords in there are worthless.

Also if you immediately ask iCloud to lock your iPhone they can't use the any of the two-factor authenticators without connecting to the Internet which would brick the phone.

Sure they want to know more about it because it looks completely alien to them but when they've tried it on and understand it's capabilities do a lot of those people express interest in purchasing one?

My anecdotal evidence is that I've seen lots of people try on Google Glass and while they think it is interesting none of them actually want it.
