Is this the only place in the world that has billboards like these?
@funnymonkey @audreywatters @bonstewart We second this emotion ;) Let us know how we can help! Social reader coming soon ...
Is this the only place in the world that has billboards like these?

"It would be interesting to challenge these assumptions with working code." - I'm a lot of fun on mailing lists.

@tef Yeah, I just did a poor job of explaining it. (And blamed it entirely on PHP rather than also on Squid.)
@tef It does also look like PHP's cURL implementation doesn't adhere to the spec for the header. So, win all round.
@tef I understand that Expect: 100-continue is entirely correct. I thought it was cURL's problem - it's actually Squid's, below version 3.2.
This is a more technical post than usual, but this has been driving me nuts, and I wanted to document it in case others run into the same issue.
PHP's cURL implementation sends an Expect: 100-continue header when you use it to send a POST call over a certain size.
Squid, ever the diligent proxy, looks for well-formed requests, and will throw an HTTP 417 error if it gets that header but the call is malformed. Edit: it also can't handle the header at all in incoming requests if you're using anything earlier than Squid 3.2.
cURL malforms the call (or extra behavior is required and documented, but I haven't seen anything yet).
The result is that running an API behind Squid that is used by PHP cURL clients may cause unforeseen 417 errors.
How to fix it
A widely accepted fix is to tell cURL to send a blank "Expect:" error. That does solve the issue from one side, but it's half the problem. What happens if you can't control the incoming cURL libraries?
It turns out that Squid has a setting called ignore_expect_100 which is off by default. Add "ignore_expect_100" to your squid.conf file, restart Squid, and you should be good to go.

Verifying that +benwerd is my Bitcoin username. You can send me #bitcoin here: https://onename.io/benwerd (Wish this used rel=me).
Is there a service that will automatically register my username on all the competing distributed identity networks yet?
The reason @_tessr is stepping back from hackathons for a little while. Maybe we all should? https://medium.com/hackers-and-hacking/a-hacking-hiatus-4844ae073d4
1. Mailbox is actually pretty great. 2. The betacoins, which you drag from your email on the web into the installer app, are extremely cute.
I've been glued to the Ferguson coverage for the last week. Like many people, I've been wondering how this could be happening in a supposedly democratic, developed nation - and I've been getting all of my news via Twitter. No matter what they try and do, the traditional news media has just been late on this story, in the way that traditional publishers began to seem out of date when blogging picked up steam a decade ago.
I've been watching up-to-the-second updates of a situation that should concern everyone who lives in the US. Meanwhile, conspicuously, the story is virtually nowhere to be found on Facebook.
We're increasingly consuming information in filter bubbles. Much has been said about this over the last few years, but it's harmful: if an idea, or an event, hasn't permeated a social circle, it's less likely to than it ever was. Back in the old days, we'd all crowd around a TV for the evening news, or read a newspaper in the morning. Everyone got the same information. Now we subscribe to individuals and curate our own information streams.
Mostly this is a good thing: it's dangerous for everyone to be getting all their information from a single source. But as circles congeal online, they effectively become the same thing: a unified voice of people who more or less agree with each other. Not only is that democratically dangerous, but for networks like Twitter, there's the possibility of it atrophying the network and impeding growth. Past a certain point, introverted social spheres can't grow any further; it makes sense to add a little something to break the surface tension.
But in the democratic sense, a little more serendipity is also a good thing. I want to discover stories I might not have otherwise seen; ideas I might not otherwise have heard.
If Twitter was just a piece of software running as a service, this would be unthinkable: it's not obeying your subscription preferences! But that's not what it is. With this change, Twitter is cementing itself as a media company, just like the broadcasters of old. In its own way, it's curating an information source for you - one that can continue to scale beyond your friends and networks.

Welcome to the Known world? Let it be Known? I haven't decided what the best pun to use for these situation is yet.
@Lin_Dolin Filing that one away for a later stage in our startup ;) Looks lovely though!
Budget hotels in New York that don't suck: and go! (Also hitting up AirBnb, obvs.)
The Strength of the Collective: great post on the @mattervc journey (quoting me and @erinjo). https://medium.com/matter-news/the-strength-of-the-collective-d229cd604e8e Privileged to be here.
I wish Street Spirit had more accessible content, like The Big Issue. Celebrity interviews! Would make such a difference in peoples' lives.
Ah, the sweet sound of the carbon monoxide detector malfunctioning in the night.
@Johannes_Ernst Actually no - I'm just realizing that I always hear / read about "the protesters". Feel like humanizing them would help.
