I don't know about Twitter itself, but I think there have been a few attempts at federate competitors or protocols. The most recent I can recall is Tent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tent_(protocol)
Love where this is headed. Could you comment on security with nvlope? I'm curious in particular about two-factor auth, but anymore insight would be great.
How does this article share both of these statements?:
"BitTorrent Sync Is A Dropbox Killer, Or Maybe Much More Than That"
"Maybe Sync is not an out-and-out DropBox killer, but it does look likely to broaden the scope of what we understand by file storage and change what customers expect from file storage services"
So is it, or isn't it?
Praise to the BitTorrent folks in any event. I've been using Sync for a few weeks now and I've been pleased with its performance thus far. I'm debating whether I want to shut off Dropbox, but Dropbox still has several great features, versioning in particular.
Could you elaborate on this a bit? This is the first time I've heard an accusation against Monsanto in relation to bee death. If you've got some good articles I'd like to read up.
Well, why don't we bring it back to technology then?
Everyday on HN there's this drone about the next Instagram or 37 Signals. Or who will produce better email or flamewars regarding the next dominant mobile OS. Time wasted, honestly (Oh yeah, 'I figured out project management, again.')
Where's the debate on HN on how best to handle gun control in the U.S. using technology? Can this community not produce answers for those questions?
I think I agree with you. Ubiquitous broadband-speed capable technologies like 4G will be the way to go. It's too expensive for most rural parts (most parts, period) of America to be laying down lines.
Apologies if this comes off as trolling. I really want it to be snappy so I can switch over.
