But "When people invest" - This isn't investment behavior. This is speculation and most likely simple addiction to gambling behavior they drive and incent people to do.
It depends :-)
Some seem to have a fall-back or fail-safe that isn't overwritten. Even with flashing known firmware, the reliability of the little guys was questionable. Random lockups and very touchy to power source.
The quality and consistency of firmware/functionality/hidden stuff on the various 8266's I have leads me to avoid them. I had a pair that phoned home to some Chinese domain and registered all via HTTP, and a quick Wireshark yielded it phoned home for commands. Not on my network...
You can pick them up cheaper on ebay, as well.
Disclaimer: I'm just a product/biz guy that codes on the side.
I started using CodeAnywhere earlier this year to manage a small PHP+mysql geospatial email system for an aviation charity I do the tech for...so wanted something cheap (its $120 a year?) and able to teach a non-tech how to go in and make a change (as I don't want them making edits in the github UI).
I was also using my Chromebook a lot while traveling and using shared space, so I needed a decent dev environment without Chrome plugins/jankiness/slowness from a 4gb system.
They have Android and iOS apps that make changes when on the go a touch easier, though code on a Nexus is pretty rough on a plane :-)
So far, pretty good - initially they were making changes to how containers were created and destroyed, causing some changes in the syntax of how a container is defined thus causing mine to be troublesome. However, their support was pretty responsive and got it sorted out.
gomix.com as mentioned here already is pretty new but has been reliable for me so far. It is a fogcreek venture so I imagine it will mature pretty quickly.
I'm not terribly keen on providing my actual login to my bank. Ie, adding Betterment asks me for my user/pass Betterment user login (they don't offer 2 factor) - something anyone could then use to login and manage my money there.
I see you're using plaid underneath to connect; so giving some assurance that plaid is handling the data flow and sway will not be storing usernames/passwords would be nice (if that is true).
"Also, how responsible is a civilian pilot for climbing through an instrument approach near a military airfield without radio contact?"
Other than responsible for not seeing a fast moving jet rear-end him, not very responsible. Even if he was under radio control and his head on a swivel, it would have have been near impossible to see the jet coming from behind and left at that speed.
He wasn't "near a military airfield" - he had taken off from a general aviation airport just north of Charleston's International airport (CHS), also shared with military, however FAA ATC and rules prevail in this airspace. There is no "military airfield" difference around CHS.
The F-16 was on a practice approach to CHS, just as anyone could do a practice approach to CHS by requesting to do so from ATC.
One major contributing issue to this was the controller descending the F-16 to such a low altitude so far out (1600' at 34 miles out) [1]. This is well below any slide glope and frankly, as a pilot who flies IFR and no-radio-VFR, I would never expect to see a jet on an approach that low even 15 miles out.
The incident did not occur in the military operation areas (MOA) north of CHS.
Without being able to see the site, just a guess-question here - but how does this compare to FullContact or Refresh.io (recently sucked up by LinkedIn)?
That was quick:

When viewing a story, it'd be nice to be able to change the status without going into edit mode. Or something like a transition (aka how mingle does it) to say "start work" or "done with testing"
On the CRM/targeted marketing side, there are use cases for finding out address and other personal info from any tidbit of information you have. Many times you only get an email or phone, or on the flip side a name + address.
Few examples:
In a call center environment, looking up the name and address of the caller to know who you're talking to. Matching loosely on name and zip code can provide the operator with a good idea who they are talking to. The system can then match the caller to demographic and interest data to better support sales/marketing/routing decisions.
We use fullcontact to get social profile (twitter, fb, angellist, linkedin, etc) based on an email or phone number in order to better know the user and their social influence that they can have for our customers. Why? Many third party booking systems (flights, hotels, misc travel, etc) provide only the required fields to make the booking stick with the provider (hotel, for example), in order to prevent the provider from contacting the customer directly and taking away that third party booking service (Expedia, for example) revenue.
As such, if Expedia only sends name and zip code, or name and phone number, we can match that with existing public data and/or look it up in fullcontact (or something like this phone reverse lookup) in order to get a more complete profile of a guest.
Do not confuse the GSA schedule with actual implementation cost (or TCO as mentioned below).
The prices are a starting point and as with any relationship, they can (and will, if the buyer is smart) be negotiated.

You have to book two one-way tickets. One IND-LAX thru DIA, and another one DIA-LAX. If you booked a round-trip IND-LAX, both thru Denver, and you skipped the DIA-LAX on the outbound, the rest of your ticket will be cancelled.
It can be substantial even doing it one-way, a popular route I flew into ORD was $454 each way on its own, but going thru ORD onto somewhere like MKE was $89-105 consistently. So even with the full-fare ticket back, it would reduce the price from nearly $900 r/t to $600ish. YMMV.
State files should be considered secret....
