As of right now, @withknown's git repository no longer uses submodules. Which means @github's automatic zip downloads should work.

Sad to see that Pranjal, who is active on Known, needs to raise college funds. Can anyone give advice? http://www.youcaring.com/tuition-fundraiser/help-pranjal-to-fullfill-his-dream-to-study-in-usa/29061...

@ken_bauer Yes: all hash tag search pages have RSS feeds. You should be able to add them to your reader; or, add &_t=rss to the end.

This isn't to say that people shouldn't own their own domains - they should - but a lot about the reg process needs to be fixed.

Gas is 3-4x more expensive, sometimes more so, where I grew up. But it's really hard in the US, where distances are so great that it would hurt peoples' livelihoods in a meaningful way. I think we'd need a substantially improved public transport system first, which also requires a radical change in thinking.

On my last trip back, I was struck that I could take a bus to London - a 90 minute journey - roughly every 5 minutes during the day, and every 30 minutes at night. There was absolutely no need to drive: it would have been more expensive and less convenient. That's what it's going to take.

Bring on high-speed rail? But also commuter rail, and fully integrated transport, and the political will to wean ourselves away from cars altogether.

Amidst all my WhatsApp spam, I got a notification that my payment to them recurred. It's a good model; not sure about the service itself.

That's not a feature we have right now - but file uploads is something we're looking at offering in the future.

@obra Sounds good! I'm clear - give me a ping when you're back from CES?

My enduring memory of CES is going to a tweetup where strippers were dancing on tables and nerds were Instagramming them. No thanks.
